Ⅱ

. Reading Comprehension

Passage 1

Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools.

But

relying

on

educators

to

approach

this

task

correctly

can

be

a

great

mistake.

Many

schools

continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of

the

“look

-

say”

or

“whole

-

word”

method

of

teaching

beginning

reading

is

perhaps

the

most

flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.

The

whole-word

approach

to

reading

stresses

the

meaning

of

words

over

the

meaning

of

letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing

the

ability

to

unlock

the

pronunciation

of

unfamiliar

words.

It

fits

in

with

the

self- directed,

“learning how to learn” activities recommended by advocates (

倡导者

)of “open” classrooms and

with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no

major publisher put out anything but these “

Run- Spot-

Run” readers

.

However,

in

1955,

Rudolf

Flesch

touched

off

what

has

been

called

“the

great

debate”

in

beginning reading. In his best-

seller Why Johnny Can’t Read, Flesch indicted(

控诉

)the nation’s

public

schools

for

miseducating

students

by

using

the

look-say

method.

He

said

—

and

more

scholarly

studies

by

Jeane

Chall

and

Rovert

Dykstra

later

confirmed

—

that

another

approach

to

beginning reading, founded on phonics(

语音学

), is far superior.

Systematic

phonics

first

teaches

children

to

associate

letters

and

letter

combinations

with

sounds;

it

then

teaches

them

how

to

blend

these

sounds

together

to

make

words.

Rather

than

building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which the

pronunciations

of

the

vast

majority

of

the

most

common

words

in

the

English

language

can

be

learned.

Phonics

does

not

devalue

the

importance

of

thinking

about

the

meaning

of

words

and

sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.

C 31. The author feels that counting on educators to teach reading correctly is___________.

A. only logical and natural

B. the expected position

C. probably a mistake

effective instruction

A 32. The author indicts the look-say reading approach because___________.

A. it overlooks decoding

B. Rudolf Flesch agrees with him

C. he says it is boring

D. many schools continue to use this method

D

33.

One

major

difference

between

the

look- say

method

of

learning

reading

and

the

phonics

method is__________.

A. look-say is simpler

B. phonics takes longer to learn

C. look-say is easier to teach

D. phonics gives readers access to far more words

B 34.

The phrase “touch off” (Line 1, Para.3) most probably means________

.

A. talk about shortly

B. start or cause

C. compare with

D. oppose

C 35. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?

A. Phonics approach regards whole-word method as unimportant.

B. The whole-word approach emphasizes decoding.

C. In phonics approach, it is necessary and logical to employ decoding.

D. Phonics is superior because it stresses the meaning of words thus the vast majority of most

common words can be learned.

Passage 2

Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods

over

conventionally

grown

and

marketed

food

products

are

now

being

debated.

Advocates

of

organic foods

–

a term whose meaning varies greatly

–

frequently proclaim that such products are

safer and more nutritious than others.

The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North

American

diet

is

a

welcome

development.

However,

much

of

this

interest

has

been

sparked

by

sweeping

claims

that

the

food

supply

is

unsafe

or

inadequate

in

meeting

nutritional

needs.

Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance (

优势

)

of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact

from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods

prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and

formed the basis for folklore.

Almost daily the public is besieged (

围攻

)

by claims for “no

-

aging” diets, new vitamins and

other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior

to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated

grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like.

One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they

cost

more

than

conventionally

grown

foods.

But

in

many

cases

consumers

are

mislead

if

they

believe organic food can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally

grown

foods.

So

there

is

real

cause

for

concern

if

consumers,

particularly

those

with

limited

incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead.

A 26

. The word “advocate” in Line 2, Para. 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

A. proponents.

B. merchants.

C. inspectors.

D. consumers.

C

27

.

According

to

the

first

paragraph,

which

of

the

following

is

true

about

the

term

“organic

foo

ds”?

A. It is accepted by most nutritionists.

B. It has been used only in recent years.

C. It has no fixed meaning.

D. It is seldom used by consumers.

A 28. The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy

organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because ______.

A. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown

foods

B. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods

C. conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods

D. too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops

B

29.

From

the

last

paragraph,

consumers

who

believe

that

organic

foods

are

better

than

conventionally grown foods are often ______.

A. careless

B. mistaken

C. thrifty

D. wealthy

D 30

. What is the author’s attitude toward the claims made by advocates of health foods?

A. Enthusiastic.

B. Favorable.

C. Neutral.

D. Doubtful.

Passage 3

There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own

concept

of

success

to

the

extent

that

each

of

us

is

responsible

for

setting

our

own

goals

and

determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique

differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is

necessarily true that we must define success broadly.

For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering

is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of

the poor shepherd who tends his sheep,

enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does

a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other
