Part II Reading Comprehension (30%)
Directions: There are passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then marked the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheets with a single line through the centre.
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.
“We are all sad, and we‟re a little worried… We‟re sad about something missing in childhood,” psychologist Michael Thompson told 900 early childhood educators from 22 states packed into a lecture hall last week. “We have to fight back,” he declared. “We‟re going to fight for play. “
It is estimated that since the 1980s the average American children have 8 to 12 fewer hours of free play time per week. Some of the factors behind the decline have been there for decades, others are more recent. Among the key factors are:
※Parents are unwilling to let their kids play outside on their own, for fear of injury or other accidents, and organized sports and other structured activities take up a large part of a child‟s non-school hours.
※More hours per week are spent by kids watching TV, playing video games, using the Internet, and communication on cell phones.
※More importance is attached to formal learning in preschool, more homework for primary school students and more pressure from parents on young children to quickly acquire academic skills.
“Parents are more self-conscious and competitive than in the past,” Thompson said. “They‟re pushing their kids to do better than others…Free play loses out.”But he points out that this option doesn‟t necessarily breed（培养）creativity and can lead to burnout for good young athletes and frustration for the less skilled. He is also concerned that preschools, in the drive to prepare students for the academic challenges ahead, are reducing the opportunity for group fantasy play----and thus reducing children‟s chances to learn on their own about fairness, kindness and other social interactions(交往).
The consequences are potentially awful, according to Thompson, who points out that reduces time to play freely with other children is producing a generation of unsociable young people and is a factor behind high rates of weight problems, anxiety, and
depression among youth. “Without enough opportunity for forms of play that promote creative thinking,” he says, “America‟s children will be at a disadvantage in the global economy.”
41. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. American kids have about 8 to 12 hours of free play time each week.
B. American parents don‟t allow their children to do a lot of sports.
C. Many preschools are paying more attention to formal learning.
D. American children spend less time watching TV.
42. Children‟s free play time has been reduced for the following reasons EXCEPT______.
A. parents are concerned about their children‟s safety.
B. parents have higher academic expectations on their children
C. children spend more time on other activities instead of free play
D. some education experts give parents improper advice
43. What is the most important thing that children get by playing freely?
A. Knowledge about the rules of some sports.
B. Skills in playing computer games.
C. Motivation to do better than others.
D. Opportunities to promote creative thinking.
44. According to Thompson, American children will be more ___as a result of reduced play time.
A. competitive
B. depressed
C. hard-working
D. sociable
45 Therefore, in Para 1,”…We …re sad about something missing in childhood,…” by something, the writer refers to________.
A. watching TV
B. playing computer
C. doing homework
D. free play Question 46-50 are based on the following passage
I live with my grandmother in a Beijing yard house. One day last year, I was surprised to see a big foreigner coming out of the house next door to ours. He was very tall with short brown hair and a pair of glasses.
The first time I saw him, I was too shy to speak to him. “My English is too bad!” I thought. My grandmother told me that he had just moved into our yard. “I don‟t like it!” she said, “Foreigners aren‟t like us. Maybe he will play loud music and parties every night! I‟m sure he‟s going to cause trouble.”
Several days later, I met the foreigner as I was walking home after work. “Hello!”he said (in Chinese!). My name is Tony. I‟ve just moved into the house next door to your.” While I was wondering what to say, he continued, “There‟s a nice bar down the road. Why don‟t you and your family come and have dinner with me?”“Bars are bad places,” said my grandmother when I told her, but we decided to go.
The bar was not at all what I had expected. It was in a beautiful little yard house, with several large bookshelves and pictures of Tibet on the walls. Several Chinese people and foreigners were sitting drinking or reading books. I noticed that some of the foreigners were speaking Chinese in a low voice to each other! “Oh, what a civilized place!” my grandmother exclaimed.
The bar served special “hutong pizzas”. As we ate, Tony told us about himself-he is an English expert in environment. He always likes to be quiet. My grandmother said
to me, “He really seems like a very nice young man.”
46. When the writer first saw the foreigner, she_______.
A. was frightened to him
B. wanted to practice English with him
C. felt too shy to speak to him

D. was angry with Tony
48. What‟s the meaning of word “civilized” in the passage?
A. 文明的
B. 喧闹的
C. 野蛮的
D. 讨厌的
49. Which of the following sentence is NOT TRUE?

Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage
Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time of which the eyes stop ----the duration of the fixation----varies considerable from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, is can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness. Unfortunately in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it‟s one thing to improve a person‟s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach whish trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.
51. The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except___.
A. one‟s familiarity with text
B. one‟s purpose in reading
C. the length of a group of words
D. lightening and tiredness
52. The author may believe that reading _______.
A. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation
B. requires a reader to see words more quickly
C. demands an deeply-participating mind
D. demands more mind than eyes
53. What does the author mean by saying “but it‟s one thing to improve a person‟s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.” in the second paragraph?
A. The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.
B. The reading exercises mentioned can‟t help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words.
C. The reading exercises mentioned can‟t help to improve an efficient reading.
D. The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one‟s ability to see words.
54. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.
B. Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.
C. The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.
D. The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.
55. The tune of the author in writing this article is ________
A. critical
B. neutral
C. pessimistic
D. optimistic
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage
Are you always sure you know what people mean when they try to describe their feelings to you? We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be interpreted in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feeling. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because such behavior patterns are inherited rather than learned.
Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English fiction, a phrase like he went pale and began to tremble suggests that the man is either very afraid or has had a very nasty shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it conveys surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues”. Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses disgust.
Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to interpret and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people‟s faces. Disgust, contempt and suffering seem to be the most difficult emotions for people everywhere either to recognize or to express. Other studies have shown that older people usually find it easier to interpret body language (the way people stand or move etc.) than younger people do. And psychologists such as E.G. Beier have also shown that some people frequently give completely the wrong impression of show they feel. For instance, they try to show affection but in fact communicate dislike. Or when they want to show interest, they give the impression that they don‟t care. This can happen even among
close friends and members of the same family. In other words, what we think we are communicating through language, voice, face and body movement may be the exact opposite of what other people understand.
56. What might be the reason for the behaviour patterns of animals and humans?
A. they learn them from their parents.
B. They develop the patterns as they grow older.
C. They are born with them.
D. They are taught about by their elders. 57. Which of the following emotions is NOT shown in the same way in different cultures?
A. Happiness
B. Surprise C/ Sadness D. Terror
58. What kind of people are better at recognizing the expression of horror?
A. Men
B. Children
C. Old people
D. Women
59. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Two close friends won‟t make mistakes in expressing and interpreting each other‟s feelings.
B. Stretching out one‟s tongue conveys an unfavorable expression in English.
C. It is easy for people to recognize and express the strong feeling of dislike.
D. Older people are not better than young people in understanding body language.
60. We can generalize from the passage that _______.
A. we express our feelings in much the same way
B. men differ from women in their ability to express and interpret feelings
C. our feelings are not so easy to express and interpret
D. different cultures have different ways in express and interpreting feelings
