Part
Ⅰ
Reading Comprehension (50%)
Directions:
There are five passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or
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 with
a single line through the
center.
Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the
following passage:
When
I
was
growing
up,
I
was
embarrassed
to
be
seen
with
my
father.
He
was
severely
crippled and very short, and when we
walked together, his hand on my arm for balance,
people
would
stare.
I
would
inwardly
struggle
at
the
unwanted
attention.
If
he
ever
noticed
or
was
bothered, he never let on.
It was difficult to coordinate our
steps
–
his halting, mine impatient
–
and because of that, we
didn‘t say much as we went along. But
as we started out, he always said, ―You set the
pace. I will
try to adjust to
you
.‖
Our usual walk was
to or from the subway on which he traveled to
work. He went to work
sick, and despite
nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and
would make it to the office
even if
others could not. A matter of pride.
When snow or ice was on the ground, it
was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At
such
times
my
sisters
or
I
would
pull
him
through
the
streets
of
Brooklyn,
N.Y
.,
on
a
child‘s
wagon with steel runners
to the subway entrance. Once there, he would cling
to the hand-rail until
he reached the
lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept free
of ice. In Manhattan the subway
station
was the basement of his office building, and he
would not have to go outside again until we
met him in Brooklyn on his way home.
1.
In the first Paragr
aph, the underlined word ―inwardly‖ can be replaced by ______.
A. in
the dark
B. in the ward
C. in nature
D. in the mind
2.
When snow or ice was
on the ground, the writer‘s father ______.
A. went to work by a
child‘s wagon all the way
B.
would cling to the hand-rail when he reached the
lower steps
C. could still get
to his office on time
D. would take off
from work and stay at home
3.

that ______.
A. he went to work even when he was
sick
B. he went to work despite
nasty weather
C. he almost never missed
a day
D. he walked to his office all
the year round
4.
In the last paragraph, ―Once there‖ can be explained as ______.

B. My father lived in
Manhattan, while working in Brooklyn.
C. It was difficult to coordinate my

D. The
building where my father worked was above a subway
station.
Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the
following passage:
Many teachers
believe that the responsibilities for learning lie
in the student. If a long reading
assignment is given, instructors expect
students to be familiar with the information in
the reading
even if they don‘t discuss
it in class or take an exam. The
ideal student is considered to be one
who
is
motivated
to
learn
for
the
sake
of
learning,
not
the
one
interested
only
in
getting
high
grades.
Sometimes homework is returned with brief written
comments but without a grade. Even
if a
grade is not given, the student is asked for
learning the material assigned.
When
research
is
assigned,
the
professor
expects
the
student
to
take
it
actively
and
to
complete it with
minimum
guidance. It is the student
‘
s responsibility to find books, magazines,
and
articles
in
the
library.
Professors
do
not
have
the
time
to
explain
how
a
university
library
works; they expect
students, especially graduate students, to be able
to exhaust the reference that
they need
in the library.
Professors
will
help
students
who
need
it,
but
prefer
that
their
students
should
not
be
too
dependent on them. In the United
States, professors have many other duties in
addition to teaching,
such
as
administrative
or
research
work.
Therefore,
the
time
that
a
professor
can
spend
with
a
student outside of class is limited. If
a student has problems with classroom work, he or
she should
either ask a professor
during office hour or make an appointment.
6.
What does the author mean by saying that
―
Courses are not designed merely for students to
pass
exams
‖
?
A. Students study
hard only for exams.
B. Teachers think
it necessary for their students to fail exams.
C. Teachers think that the only purpose
of studying hard is to pass exams.
D.
The purpose of designing courses is not only for
passing exams.
7.
According to the second paragraph, students should ______.
A. depend more
on themselves than on professors
B. plan their time and their work
C. always follow the
professors
‘
advice
D.
find a suitable place for studying
8.
If students need the advice of their teachers, they should ______.
A. put forward their questions
in class
B. meet their teachers during
office hour
C. find some excuses to see
teachers at home
D. turn to their
teachers during the break

10.

A.

B. administrative work
C. research work
D.
operating companies
Passage Three
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the
following passage:
Television has
opened windows in everybody‘s life. Young men will
never again go to war as
they did in
1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects
of a battle. And the result has been
a
general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest
in helping those who suffer from all the terrible
things that have been shown on the
screen.
Television has also
changed politics. The most distant areas can now
follow state affairs, see
and hear the
politicians before an election. Better informed,
people are more likely to vote, and so
to make their opinion count.
Unfortunately, television‘s influence
has been extremely har
mful to the young. Children do
not
have
enough
experience
to
realize
that
TV
shows
present
an
unreal
world;
that
TV
advertisements
lie
to
sell
products
that
are
sometimes
bad
or
useless.
They
believe
that
the
violence they
see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree
that the ―television generations‖
are more violent than their parents and
grandparents.
Also, the young
are less patient. Used to TV shows, where
everything is quick and interesting,
they
do
not
have
the
patience
to
read
an
article
without
pictures;
to
read
a
book
that
requires
thinking; to listen to a teacher who
doesn‘t do funny things like the people on
children‘s programs.
And they expect
all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen,
or thirty minutes. That's the time
it
takes on the screen.
11. In the
past, many young people ______.
A. knew
the effects of war
B. went in for
politics
C. liked to save the wounded
in wars
D. would join the
military force
12. Now with TV
people can ______.
A. discuss
politics at an information center
B.
show more interest in politics
C. make
their own decisions on political affairs
D. express their opinions freely
13. The author thinks that TV
advertisements ______.
A. are not
reliable on the whole
B. are useless to
people
C. are a good guide to adults

14. Which of the
following is NOT true according to the passage?

now.
B. With a TV set some problems can
be solved quickly.
C. Young people now
like to read books with pictures.
D. The adults are less violent than the
young.
15. From the passage, we
can conclude that ______.
A.
children should keep away from TV
B. TV
programs should be improved
C.
children's books should have pictures
D. TV has a deep influence on the young
Passage Four
Questions 16 to
20 are based on the following passage:
While
regular
schools
still
exist,
the
virtual
classroom
plays
a
significant
role
in
today
‘
s
learning
community,
with
more
people
of all
ages becoming
aware
of
the
importance
of online
learning. Online students, however,
require unique qualities to be successful. The
following list
discusses some ideal
qualities of successful online students.
1. Be willing to
―
speak up
‖
if problems arise.
Remember that instructors can not see
their students in an online course. This means
students
must
be
absolutely
explicit
with
their
comments
and
requests.
If
they
experience
technical
difficulties,
or
problems
in
understanding
something
about
the
course,
they
must
speak
up;
otherwise
there
is
no
way
anyone
can
know
something
is
wrong.
If
one
person
does
not
understand
something, possibly several others have the same
problem. If another student is able to
help, she or he probably will. While
explaining something to others, students reinforce
their own
knowledge about the subject.
2. Take the program seriously.
Online learning is not easier than
study in regular classrooms. In fact, many
students say it
requires much more time
and effort. Requirements for online courses are
not less than those of any
quality
program. Successful students, however, see online
learning as a convenient way to receive
their
education
–
not
an
easier
way.
Many
online
students
sit
at
computers
for
hours
at
a
time
during evenings and on weekends in
order to complete their assignments. When other
people are
finished and having fun is
most likely the time when online students do their
course work. Online
students need to
commit 4 to 15 hours a week for each course.
3. Accept critical thinking and
decision making as part of online learning.
Online courses require students to make
decisions based on facts as well as experience. It
is
absolutely necessary for students to
assimilate information and make the right
decisions based on
critical thinking.
In a positive online environment, students feel
valued by the instructor, by their
classmates and by their own work.
16.
Teachers can‘t see their students in the online environment, so online students must
______.
A. give their comments and
requests very clearly
B. understand
technical problems they meet in learning their
courses
C. explain their problems and
those of other students
D. discuss
their ideas according to their knowledge about the
subject being studied

classroom is much more difficult than online
learning
B. online learning is so
convenient
that it doesn‘t require
much time or effort
C. online
students try to reinforce their knowledge by doing
a lot of exercises
D. online
students should tell instructors and other
students what problems they have
Passage Five
Questions 21 to
25 are based on the following passage:
Record numbers of children are being taken out of school and taught by their parents at home.
Up
to
100
children
a
month
are
leaving
the
classroom
because
parents
are
not
satisfied
with
schools. Around 15,000 families now
teach their children at home, a rise of 50 per
cent from last
year, according to the
latest figures.
This
present
rise
in
home
schooling
is
blamed
on
the
nature
of
examinations,
not
getting
children into
the school of choice, and dissatisfaction with
teaching methods. Some parents prefer
keeping children home because of
attacks by other students and a lack of discipline
in schools.
Researchers
say,
however,
many
families
prefer
teaching
at
home
because
they
feel
the
idea
of
public
schooling
is
not
modern.
They
believe
schools
will
be
things
of
the
past
in
20
years
as
media
technology, like the Internet, teaches children.
Under the law, parents must teach their
children, whether at school or at home. Community
officials are charged with protecting
their schooling. Professor Meighan of Nottingham
University
says
parents
were
fed
up
with
the
requirements
of
existing
schools.
For
him,
schools
are
an
out-of-date
concept
from
the
days
of
the
town
crier
(
市政传令员
),
when
it
was
difficult
to
get
information and a central
person was needed to communicate knowledge. He
also thinks parents
are
recognizing
education
is
moving
on
and
don
‘
t
want
their
children
to
be
held
back
by
out-
of-date methods.
Meighan suggests
children will be taught at home using the
Internet, computers, and video
(
录像片
). He thinks future schools will be small groups of children, sharing equipment in their
homes. The teachers
may become advisers who sort through the
information.
Future schooling was
questioned by Sir Christopher Ball of the Royal
(
皇家的
) Society of
