11、is part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to

12、their children can greatly increase their childrens language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the childrens language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the childs languag

13、e skills increase. A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study； the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to as

14、k open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?” rather than “Is the doggie running away?” The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities

15、and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months l

16、ater, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group. 36. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Children who talk a lot are more intelligent. B. Parents who listen to their children can teach them more. C. Activ

17、e children should read more and be given more attention. D. Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods. 37. What does “It” in line 2 can most probably be replaced by? A.

19、 group and the experimental group was_. A. the training that parents received B. the age of the children C. the books that were read D. the number of the children 40. The best conclusion we can draw from the passage is that_. A. parents should be trained to read to their children B. the more childre

20、n read, the more intelligent they will become C. childrens language skills increase when they are required to respond actively D. children who read actively seem six months old Passage 2 He slept for a good six hours, and the sun was high when he awoke. As he sat up and yawned, a pair of strong hand

21、s seized his shoulders, and in a moment his wrists were tied tightly together behind his back. He turned and stared into Brankos hairy face. “Whats this?” he said. The old man tested the knots before answering, “Orders, Black Peters changed his mind. Until we can check on you.” Martin swore loudly,

22、then asked if he could talk to Black Peter. Branko shook his head, “Hes busy.” Martin was seized by despair. Now all his plans might fall unless he could gain the confidence of Black Peter. After some thought he stood up and walked to the mouth of the tunnel. Branko followed. The grassy hollows were

23、 alive with men busy with their various duties. There must have been a stream somewhere nearby, for a long line of men were taking their horses to the water; others were setting up tents and lighting fire. Immediately opposite was another tunnel at the entrance of which stood two guards armed with g

24、uns. Behind them Martin made out the giant form of Black Peter.“There he is,”he said, “I must talk to him.” Branko tried to stop him, but he pushed him aside, walked to the mouth of the tunnel and called out : “Black Peter! I must talk to you.” The leader of the White Eagles was seated on a wooden b

25、ox, deep in conversation with two rough-looking men. “What is it?” he said, “Why are you checking on me?”Martin replied. “I need to be sure about you,” said Black Peter. “Theres too much to close.”He pointed into the tunnel, and Martin saw the wooden boxes that he guessed must contain the gold bars.

26、 “Is that the treasure?” he asked. Black Peter stood up, struggling between his desire for secrecy and an obvious pride in the success of his plans. “Yes,” he said at last. 41. Martins night rest_. A. was disturbed B. lasted less than six hours C. lasted more than six hours D. was suddenly cut short

27、 42. What happened as soon as Martin woke up? A. Branko struck him. B. He was made a prisoner. C. Branko checked that he was still tied up. D. He was taken off to speak to Black Peter. 43. The success of Martins plans now depended on his_. A. escaping from the tunnel B. finding the treasure C. disco

28、vering who the leader of the White Eagles was D. persuading Black Peter that he could be trusted 44. When he got to the mouth of the tunnel, Martin saw men_. A. in fairly large numbers B. fetching water from the stream C. packing up camp and getting ready to leave D. resting in small groups 45. Blac

29、k Peter finally admitted that the boxes contained gold because_. A. he was so satisfied with what he had done B. he had decided to trust Martin C. he saw that he could no longer keep it a secret D. he knew that Martin could not escape Passage 3 The aim of the teacher is to get his pupils as quickly

30、as possible over the period in which each printed symbol is looked at for its shape, and arrive at the stage when the pupil looks at words and phrases, for their meaning, almost without noticing the shapes of the separate letters. When a good reader is at work, he does not look at letters, nor even

31、at words, one by one, however quickly; he takes in the meaning of two, three, or four words at a time, in a single moment. Watch carefully the eyes of a person who is reading, and it will be seen that they do not travel smoothly along the lines of print, but they move by jumps separated by very shor

32、t stops. The eyes of a very good reader move quickly taking long jumps and making very short halts; the eyes of a poor reader move more slowly, taking only short jumps and stopping longer at each halt. Sometimes, when he meets a difficulty, he even goes backwards to see again what has already been l

33、ooked at once. The teachers task is therefore clear: it is to train his pupils to take in several words at a glance (one “eye-jump”) and to remove the necessity for going backwards to read something a second time. This shows at once that letter-by-letter, or syllable-by-syllable (音節(jié)) or word-by-word

34、 reading, with the finger pointing to the word, carefully fixing each one in turn, is wrong. It is wrong because such a method ties the pupils eyes down to a very short jump, and the aim is to train for the long jump. Moreover, a very short jump is too short to provide any meaning or sense; and it w

35、ill be found that having struggled with three or four words separately, the pupil has to look at them again, all together and in one group, in order to get the meaning of the whole phrase. 46. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the first paragraph? A. Pupils should be trained to reach q

36、uickly the stage of reading without having to concentrate on the separate symbols. B. Pupils should look at each printed symbol for its meaning as well as for its shape. C. Teachers should help their pupils avoid looking at the shape of the printed symbols. D. Teachers should tell their pupils the d

37、ifferent stages of their study. 47. In a single moment, a good reader picks up _. A. several words B. several phrases C. several sentencesD. several lines 48. According to the passage, which of the following is FALSE? A. The eyes of a good reader make short halts and long jumps. B. The eyes of a bad

38、 reader take in the meaning of one word at a time. C. The eyes of a bad reader take only short jumps. D. The eyes of a good reader move steadily. 49. One may have to read something a second time if _. A. there is enough timeB. one reads too fast C. the passage is very longD. one reads word by word 5

39、0. The main idea of the last paragraph is that _. A. word-by-word reading is highly inefficient B. the pupils eyes should focus on groups of syllables instead of single syllables C. pupils have to move their eyes back and forth when reading D. finger-pointing in reading helps the pupil concentrate o

40、n meaning Passage 4 Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstand

41、ing and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the incident of tragedy involving murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesse

42、r incidents caused principally by minor national contests. One country received its secondplace medals with visible anger after the hockey(曲棍球) final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals

43、should not have been disallowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said: “This isnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation(聯(lián)合會(huì)) said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of

44、 the team for at least three years. The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disorder, it was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that ther

45、e were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the US had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before an

46、nouncing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals. Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in nonnational te

47、ams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive (行為過分的) patriotism (愛國心). 51. The author thinks that in recent years Olympic Games have _. A. showed little international friendship B. greatly encouraged international br

48、otherhood C. created goodwill between the nations D. created only misunderstanding and hatred 52. What did the manager mean by saying “This isnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”? A. This is not a standard hockey match. B. The Federation would not exist any longer

49、after this match was over. C. His team would not enter the game in three years. D. The unfair decisions ruined both hockey and the Federation. 53. The basketball match showed that _. A. the Russian team should not have taken advantage of the last three seconds B. aggressive patriotism was displayed

50、in the incident C. the appeal jury was too inefficient in making a decision D. the American team should have taken the first place 54. The author gives 2 examples in the 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs in order to show that _. A. contests often end in disorder B. no contests are fair in Olympic Games C.

51、competition discourages international friendship D. unfair decisions are common in sports 55. Which statement best summarizes this passage? A. Athletes should compete as individuals. B. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved. C. Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be susp

52、ended. D. Different teams often have disputes when fighting for the first place. Part Cloze Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage.
