Part 4 Reading comprehension (2×15)
Directions: Read the following passages, and choose the best answer to each question according to the passages.
A
An elderly couple lived far away from their children. They noticed that they were beginning to forget many little things around the house. They were afraid that this could be perilous, as one of them might forget to turn off the stove(火炉)and thus cause a fire.
They were so worried that they decided to see their doctor to get some help. Their doctor told them that it was unnecessary to take medicine and that many people of their age found it useful to write themselves little notes as reminders. The elderly couple thought this wonderful, and left the doctor’s office very pleased with the advice.
When they got home, the wife said, “Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And why don’t you write that down so you won’t forget?”
“Don’t be silly,” said the husband. “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”
“Well,” said the wife, “I’d also like some strawberries on it. You should write that down, because I know you’ll forget.”
“Come now, my memory’s not that bad,” replied the husband. “A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can remember that!”
And with that, the husband shut the kitchen door behind him. The wife could hear him getting out pots and pans, and making some noise, preparing the dish. He came out of the kitchen about 15 minutes later.
Walking over to his wife, he presented her with a plate of fried eggs.

Some students get so nervous before an exam that they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology(心理学) professor at the University of Chicago, has studied these highly anxious exam-takers.
“They start worrying about the results. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam,” says Sian Beilock.
The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20 anxious college students. They gave them two short math exams. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the coming second exam.
The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second exam would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 20% worse on the second exam. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance(表现)by an average of 5%.
Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the exam.
Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who wrote about their feelings got an average grade of B+, compared with a B-for those who did not.
But what can they do if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and they can still improve their performance.
61. In which paragraph does the author introduce the background(背景) of his study?
A. In the last paragraph.
B. In the second paragraph.
C. In the third paragraph
D. In the first paragraph.
62. According to Sian Beilock, if you want to succeed in an exam you should ______.
A. focus your attention on the exam
B. be as serious as you can about the exam
C. set clear study goals and keep them
D. make a careful preparation for the exam
63. We can infer(推断)from the study that students who sit quietly before the exam ______.
A. are more likely to get better exam results
B. worry more about the exam in their mind
C. have a positive attitude towards exam results
D. have a strong will to be successful in the exam
64. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “______”.
A. looking for a chance
B. preparing for the exam
C. writing about the feelings
D. taking the exam
65. If a student writes about his feelings before an exam, he ______.
A. will improve his exam result
B. can keep a good memory of the exam
C. will get support from his teachers
D. will forget what he has prepared for the exam
C
I travel a lot, and I find out different "styles" (风格) of directions every time I ask "How can I get to the post office?"
Foreign tourists are often confused (困惑) in Japan because most streets there don't have names in Japan. People use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop."
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it's about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They don't know.
It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, 'Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that "I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
66. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually ________.
A. describe the place carefully
B. show him a map of the place
C. tell him the names of the streets
D. refer to recognizable buildings and places
67. What is the place where people measure distance in time?
A. New York.
B. Los Angeles.
C. Kansas.
D. Iowa.
68. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________
A. in order to save time
B. as a test
C. so as to be polite
D. for fun
69. Which sentence is true according to the text?
A. There is no street names in Japan.
B. There is no landmarks in the countryside of American.
C. People in Yucatan always give wrong answers when asked the way.
D. People in Los Angeles measure distance in time, not miles when asked the way.
70. What can we infer from the text?
A. It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
B. It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
C. People have similar (相似的) understandings of politeness.
D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
Part 5 Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Chinese are very generous(慷慨的) when it comes to educating their children. Parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad. They also want their children to take extra -course activities. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
As a result, parents can see that their children have some skills that others don’t have. And their children will probably do better in study in the future.
But the problem is that parents are not educating them the most important skills they need—to be confident, happy and clever in life.
In fact, the best education can also be very cheap. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.
Besides, some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse(激发) his interest. Your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
What Chinese parents do in 71.________
Ⅰ. Parents’ belief
the72.________ they spend on education, the better
Ⅱ. Phenomena(现象)
1. sending children to the best schools or abroad
2. letting children 7

1. children’s skills different from others
2. children’s performance in study in the future 76.________

SECTION B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage, answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
March 22nd every year has been the World Water Day since 1993. Everyone knows that over 70% of our planet is covered with water, but do you know that only 3% of the water is fresh and less than 1% of this fresh water is available for human use?
Water shortage
The World Bank reports that 80 countries now have water shortages, while 40% of the more than 2 billion people, have no access to clean water. Fresh water is such a life-or-death issue(问题) in many parts of the world that every eight seconds a child dies from drinking dirty water.
How to save water
Turn off the tap while you brush you teeth in the morning and before bedtime, and you can save up to 8 gallons of water! That adds up to more than 200 gallons a month, enough to fill a huge fish tank that holds 6 small sharks!
Keep your shower under 5 minutes long. In fact, a 5-minute shower uses more water than a person living in poverty in a developing country uses in one day.
Fix the leak(漏). If your toilet has a leak, you could be wasting about 200 gallons of water every day. That would be like flushing your toilet more than 50 times for no reason!
We each share responsibility for the sustainable management of our water resources, which means using less water at home, in the workplace, at school, on holidays, on the farm,… everyone, everywhere, every time.
81. When did the first World Water Day take place? (no more than 5 words)
____________________________________________________________________ 82. How many suggestions does the writer give us to save water? (1 word)
_____________________________________________________________________ 83. What example does the writer give us to show fresh water is a life-or-death
issue? (no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________ 84. What’s the purpose of writing this passage? (no more than 12 words)
