Passage 1
John Parker is an English language teacher. He was always good at languages at school, so he decided to take his degrees in French and German. When he finished his university studies, he began teaching in a secondary school in England. Two years later, however, he met someone by chance who offered him a job teaching English to foreign students during summer holidays. His students were adults and he enjoyed the work enormously. He soon found he was more interested in teaching his own language to foreigners than in teaching foreign languages to English schoolboys.

First he went to Africa for two years and then he spent a year in Asia. After this he went to Italy where he has worked for the last two years. He hasn't been to Arabia yet, but he intends to go there next. He has taught men and women of all ages and of various nationalities.

Passage 2
Blocks of "high-rise" flats have been built in large numbers in London and in many other big cities. Just after the Second World War these big, twenty-to-thirty storey buildings, hundreds of feet in height, were thought to be the ideal solution to the housing problem. For on the one hand, there was severe housing shortage, but
on the other hand, there was lack of space to build houses in urban areas. Blocks of "high-rise" flats seemed, at first, to be able to solve the problem, since they can offer space for more families to live in on less land. The beautiful, modern apartments in the high-rises were much sought after by people who lived down-town. Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not. Are they suitable places for people, children especially, to live in? A well-known British architect, who personally designed many of these buildings, now believes that the high-rises may well make those people who have been housed in them suffer a great deal. Evidence has been collected by social workers, which suggests that people do suffer. They complain about severe loneliness and deep depression living within these great towers. People also talk about lack of communication with others, no easy access to a playground for children, no chances for adults to get familiarized with each other. Many people say that they have lived next door to each other for years in the same building, but they never know who their neighbors are. Some experts say that a large number of people living in the high-rises suffer from mental disorder and have even developed criminal tendencies. As a result of these new discoveries, plans for new high-rise blocks are being reconsidered. We are now building up many high-rises in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Perhaps we should also reconsider the idea too.
6. There was a big housing problem after the Second World War______________ .
A. in London
B. in the rural areas
C. in many big cities
D. in many countries
7. Blocks of "high-rise" flats were thought to be the ideal solution to the housing problem, because_____________.
A. there was severe house shortage in big cities
B. there was less and less land to build houses in big cities
C. they were modem and beautiful and much sought after by city people
D. they were built on less land and were able to house a lot more people
8. The sentence "Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not." Means_____________ .
A. it was not until hundreds of the vast blocks had been built, people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not
B. hundreds of the vast blocks had not been built until anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not
C. people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not before hundreds of the vast blocks had been built
D. before hundreds of the vast blocks had been built, some people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not
9. The author takes a well-known British architect as an example to show Us that ______________ .
A. he is very proud of his designing of many of the high-rises
B. even a well-known designer of the high-rises believes they are no good for people
C. even a well-known designer of the high-rises suffers personally
D. high-rises are well-designed, modern buildings which meet people's needs
10. What is the greatest danger for people living in a high-rise according to some experts?
A. Lack of communication with others.
B. No easy access to a playground for children.
C. Developing criminal tendencies.
D. Not knowing the neighbors.
Passage 3
Today, computers are a huge and fast-moving field of technology. Smaller, more powerful and user-friendly equipment is developed almost daily.
Charles Babbage, a British inventor, is sometimes called the father of the
computer. In 1823, he started to build a machine that could do sums and print out the results. The machine was far ahead of its time. Sadly, it was so complicated that he never finished making it. Over a century later, people were still trying to build efficient counting machines. They were so big that they filled entire rooms and weighed many tons. But these huge counting machines were not really computers - they did not have memories.
Modern computers use complicated data memory systems to handle information, either as computer memory or data on stored disks and CDs. The data can be words, numbers, pictures or a mixture of all three. Modern computer memories can store more data than a roomful of filing boxes. They use tiny electric currents, and have thousands of circuits inside them, put tightly into tiny "chips".
Before it can be read by the computer, the data has to be turned into an electronic code of very small on-off pulses or signals. These signals are made and translated by small switches within the "chips".
Internet pioneer Dr. Vinton Cerf is called Father of the Internet. He loves to answer people's questions about the Internet whenever he meets them. Twenty years ago Cerf and Robert Kahn developed the structure for the Internet. Their work brought about the rapid growth of the Internet. In 1983 there were about 50,000 users and the number has grown to more than 360 million today. When he was asked if he ever expected the Internet to become so popular, Dr. Cerf said the number was a surprise. He pointed out one of the key issues facing the net today as privacy and said we could not avoid having e-mails seen or monitored by others. "It happened with the telephone system and it will certainly happen with e-mail. There are tools to fight against it, but the problem is that right now it's not easy enough to use them". He also pointed out that the junk emails and the unwelcome materials such as porn on the Internet was a worry, but it was difficult to stop.
He said, "There's no way to stop it technically -- but the Internet is a mirror of mankind. If we don't like what we see in the mirror, then touching up the mirror is not the answer."
11. According to the passage, as early as_____________ , people started trying to
build a computer.
A. twenty years ago
B. almost two hundred years ago
C. for over a century
D. 360 million days ago
12. According to the passage, the computers we use today are different from those old huge counting machines mainly in that_______________.
A. they are very small
B. they can handle information
C. they use tiny electric currents
D. they have memories
13. What makes it possible for a computer to read the data?.
A. The data has to be turned into an electronic code of small on-off signals.
B. The data has to be translated into English by a translator.
C. The data must be turned into words, numbers, and pictures.
D. The data must be put into tiny "chips".
14. Dr. Vinton Cerf _______________ .
A. pushes forward the rapid growth of the Internet by asking people's questions about it
B. believes that there are tools to fight against privacy
C. thinks that e-mail will certainly be as popular as telephones
D. never expected the Internet could be so popular
15. Dr. Vinton Cerf compared the Internet to a mirror. When he said, "If we don't like what we see in the mirror, then touching up the mirror is not the answer," he probably meant that____________ .
A. techniques will help human beings work better with the Internet
B. we will never be able to deal with the problem
C. what we should do is to change people's behaviour
D. what we should do is to change the whole system of the Internet

Passage 4
I never used to go anywhere without the car. I regarded it as an essential
part of myself. But when the price of gas doubled in this year, I decided not to use the car except when absolutely necessary.
For example, I always used to take the car when I went to fetch the papers on Sunday mornings, although our newsagent's is only 10 minutes' walk away. Now I go on foot.
I tell myself that I'm not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same time. It's all a question of habit really. I'm sure you can get used to anything if you try and already feel that I rely on the car less than I used to.
Besides, now that we live in the suburbs, I can walk down the road and catch
a bus to the office or to any part of the town. We used to live in the country about
15 miles from town and then I would frequently drive to and fro twice in one day. That meant I would use 15 gallons of oil or more in a week. Now I only need half that amount.
The trouble is that I am also getting used to the gas prices. They don't seem so very high to me any more.
Perhaps it is easier to get used to expensive gas than it is to doing without the car.
16. When the prices of gas doubled in this year, the author decided______________ .
A. to go everywhere without a car
B. only to take the car to fetch the papers
C. to use the car when he had to
D. to go on foot everywhere
17. In the sentence "It's all a question of habit really", the pronoun "It" refers to______________.
A. saving the gas
B. keeping fit
C. not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same time
D. not relying too much on the car
18. To go to the newsagent's to get his newspaper, the author_______________ .
A. used to walk for 10 minutes
B. used to drive his car
C. walked down the road to the office
D. walked for 10 minutes to keep fit
19. We know from the passage that the author______
A. is getting used to living in the country about 15 miles from town
B. used to go to and come back from town twice a day by car
C. usually buys 15 gallons of oil or more in a week
D. used to spend half of the amount of money on gas
20. The last sentence of the passage suggests that______________ .
A. the author still can not get used to doing without the car
B. the author feels that the high price of gas is a great problem
C. it is easy to use gas at high prices
D. the price of gas is not high any more
Passage 5
Dear editor,
Teachers in some secondary schools in Britain are worried that their job may become impossible shortly unless something can be done to restore discipline in the classrooms. In the problem schools, mostly in large cities, a small minority of teenage pupils disturb lesson to such an extent that the teacher can no longer teach their classes effectively.
Some people consider that the permissive nature of modern society is responsible for such kind of behavior. Small children who are continuously encouraged to express themselves without reservation are naturally unwilling to accept school diÿÿipline when they grow older. Furthermore, mode rn teaching techniques, which appear to stress personal enjoyment at the expense of serious study work, might be teaching the child to put his own interests before his duties to the community in which he lives.
Perhaps the problem can be solved by improving facilities for the moral guidance of these difficult children or by better cooperation between the schools and the
parents -- for the parents may be mainly responsible for the bad behavior of their youngsters. Violence at home, violence and crime on TV make some children turn to violence themselves.
But some of the teachers believe that there ought to be a return to more "old fashioned" methods. At present,in some schools teachers are even not allowed to punish a child who does something bad and wrong. Last week something awful happened at the new district school and it was immediately published in the evening newspaper.
A boy attacked his Math teacher with a fruit knife. He ought to be given a good beating. But physical punishment is not permitted now. People are too soft on children these days. It seems that the children can do whatever they like at school while the teachers can't do anything to punish them. I don't know why the school authority abandoned some of the effective punishments that worked well. Things like that didn't happen when we were at school because the teachers kept those problem students under control by using a stick.
21. Teachers in some secondary schools in Britain are worried, for______________ .
A. they might soon lose their jobs
B. they cannot teach very well
C. there are too many problem schools
D. there is no discipline in the classroom
22. According to the letter writer, modern teaching techniques___________ .
A. encourage pupils to play a lot instead of learning
B. help pupils spend much time on serious learning
C. do not give pupils any moral lessons
D. teach a child to put his own interests before his duties
23. The letter writer believes that___________are responsible for problem children's bad behavior.
A. parents
B. modern teaching methods
C. modern society
D. all of the above
24. The letter writer seems to believe very strongly in___________ to restore discipline at school.
A. abandoning more "old fashioned" methods
B. improving facilities for the moral guidance
C. physical punishment
D. cooperation between the schools and the parents
25. The best title for this passage might be________________ .
A. Our Schools Today
B. Restore Order to School
C. Who is Responsible for?
D. Dealing with Problem Children at School
