Reading Comprehension.1.Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.What kind of language learners are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the otherhand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the techniques outlined above.31. Why language learning is easier for some people according to the first paragraph?A.Because they are much more clever.B.Because they use some good methods in their learning.Because they learn things more quickly.Because they are good at guessing the answers to the teacher’s questions.32. What does “knack” in paragraph 1A. Success.B. Taste.C. Skill.D. Interest.33. The main idea of paragraph 3 is “.”A. Successful language learners are active learnersB. Successful learners always look for a chance to use the language.C. Successful learners are not afraid to make mistakes.D. The purpose of language learning is to communicate with people.34. The purpose of this passage is to .A.show that language learning is not so difficult as some people might thinkB.show the importance of communication in language learningC.encourage the readers to use some learning techniquesD.tell the readers what kind of language learner the author is35. It is implied in the last paragraph that .A.you are a successful learnerB.you are not a successful learnerC.less successful learners should use some of the techniques mentioned in thepassage.D. if you learn independently, actively and purposefully, you will learn successfully2.A modern bank provides many services. One of the most important of these is regular passbook savings.If you went to a bank to open a savings account, first you would be asked to fill out a signature card. Then you would be given a passbook in which your initial deposit would be recorded. All deposits and withdrawals from your account are entered into your passbook.With a regular passbook savings account, you would be able to withdraw money whenever you needed it. All banks pay interest on savings accounts. The interest rate varies from bank to bank, but the general range is from 4.5 to 6 percent.Another important service that banks provide is traveller's checks. If you went on a vacation or travelled on business to another city or state, you would probably want to bring some travaller's checks with you. They have two important advantages over cash. One is that your money is always safe. If the checks are lost or stolen, you can receive a refund for the total amount. Another is that they are more convenient. For this service the bank charges 1 percent of the amount of the check.Still another service that banks provide is safe-deposit boxes, where you can keep important documents and valuable jewelry. To get a safe-deposit box, you would have to fill out a signature card and pay a yearly rental fee. Before you can open your box, you must sign a slip of paper. Y our signature is compared with the one on your signature card. Y ou will not be allowed to open your box unless the employee at the bank is satisfied that the signature is genuine.One other important service, one which many businessmen who travel a great deal take advantage of, is the credit card. Credit cards are a convenient way of paying hotel bills and other expenses. To get a credit card, you must fill out an application that requires you to supply such personal information as your monthly salary and other income. If your credit is not good, the bank will not issue you a credit card.Most of the services described above do not provide a major source of income for the bank. How, then, does the bank itself make its money? Its largest source of income is through loans. The majority of loans made are known as commercial loans--loans made to businesses and not to individuals. In addition, banks make real estate loans to individuals for the purchase of houses or land, and they also give personal loans to people who want to buy a new car or a new appliance.It is hard to imagine how the complex business affairs of our modern world could be carried out without the many services that a bank provides.36. Which of the services described in the passage is a major source of income for the bank?A. Regular passbook savings.B. Traveller's checks,C. Safe-deposit boxes.D. Loans.37. Ifyou travelled on business to another city or state, you would probably want to bring sometraveller's checks with you instead of cash becauseA. you can receive a refund for the total amount if the checks are lost or stolenB. the interest rate ranges from 4.5 to 6 percentC. the bank charges 1 percent of the amount of the checkD. your money is always safe by using checks and checks are more convenient38. If you want to take your important documents or other valuable things out of the safe-deposit box you have applied for in a bank, you mustA. sign a slip of paperB. open your box firstC. offer your passbookD. show your bankbook39. The bank will not issue a credit card toA. a person who hasn't applied for a credit card beforeB. a person who is not credibleC. a person who does not have a lot of moneyD. a person who does not have any bankbooks.40.

Making loans is the only important service provided by a bank.C. Banks make loans not only to businesses but also to individuals.D. Y ou can put your important things in the bank.3.The atmosphere is a blanket of gases around the Earth. For thousands of years these gases have kept the planet’s temperature at about 15°C. How? By trapping some of the sun’s heat. But now, because of pollution, there are more and more hot gases released into the atmosphere. This means that the Earth is getting hotter. A greenhouse becomes hot for the same reason. Its glasses lets the sun’s heat pass through, then stops some of it from leaving. That’s why scientists call the problem of the Earth’s rising temperature “the Greenhouse Effect”.Many scientists agree that the Greenhouse Effect will add between 1.5 °C-4 °C to the Earth’s temperature by 2030. This will change the weather everywhere. For example, the ice at the North and South poles will start to melt. And when that happens, the level of the sea will rise. If it rises one meter by 2030 there will be serious floods in many countries.Then there is the problem of food. When the climate changes, there will be less food in the world. At the moment areas like the Midwest of America and Russia become too dry for farming. Other countries (like Canada and Sweden) will become wetter, but that won’t help. The soil there isn’t as rich. It won’t be possible to grow the same amount pf food as before.We can’t stop the Greenhouse Effect. However, we can slow it down if we use less fossil fuel, protect rain-forests, use more natural energy from the sun, sea and wind, and ban Freon in our lives.41. The atmosphere around the Earth helps to keep the temperature of the Earth constant by ___.A. trapping some of the gases around the EarthB. keeping the planet’s t emperature at about 15 °CC. forming a blanket of gases around the EarthD. tapping some of the sun’s heat42.

On the lonely, lifeless surface of the moon, a strange-looking vehicle squats（蹲伏）motionless under the sun’s glaring（刺眼的）rays. On one of its four legs is attached a small, stainless steel plaque（匾）which reads:HERE MEN FROM THE PLANET EARTHFIRST SET FOOT UPON THE MOONJUL Y,1969 A.D.WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKINDThe vehicle, the cast-off（丢弃的）lower half of a lunar landing craft, is a monument （纪念）to the historic event on July 20, when two American astronauts planted the first human footsteps on the moon. The man who took the first step was Neil A. Armstrong, the 39-year-old civilian commander of the Apollo 11. As he reached the bottom of the landing craf t’s ladder and extended his booted left foot to touch the moon’s powdery surface, he said, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”He was followed down the ladder minutes later by Edwin B. Aldrin, Jr., a 39-year-old Air Force colonel. For 2 hours and 21 minutes, the two men, carefully at first and then boldly, wandered about on the barren, rock-strewn surface. They tested their ability to move about on this strange world. They took photographs of the landscape. They set up scientific experiments and collected rock and soil samples. They set up a television camera so the whole world could watch. All the while, the third member of the crew, Michael Collins, 38, an Air Force lieutenant colonel, piloted the Command Ship in lunar orbit 70 miles above the surface, waiting for the two explorers to rejoin him for the trip back to the earth. Altogether, the visit to the moon lasted 21 hours and 37 minutes.Though the mission（任务）was completed almost without flaw（瑕疵）, it was filled with suspense and anxiety. The astronauts faced risks on the moon never before met byman. And, as with all space flights, chances of failure and disaster were ever present—the blast-off（发射）of the giant Saturn（土星）rocket at Cape Kennedy, the entry of the spaceship into earth and lunar orbits, the never-before-attempted landing and lift-off from the moon, the link-up of Columbia and Eagle, the re-entry into the atmosphere（大气层）, and the splash-down（溅落）. An error or failure of any of the millions of individual parts anywhere along the way could have ended the mission short of the goal. An equipment failure or accident on the moon could have left the astronauts stranded（陷入困境）.But they made it. After eight days in space, they splashed down in the Pacific to a presidential（总统的）greeting aboard the recovery carrier, the USA Hornet. They were the heroes of the nation and the world. It was a journey that took man beyond the earth to walk on another world.46、What was left on the moon after man’s first landing on it?A. Two astronaut’s footprints.B. A monument built by man.C. The cast-off lower half of a lunar landing craft.D.
