Twenty years ago, kids in school had
never even heard of the internet.
Now,
I
（
41
）
you can’t find a single person in your
school who hasn’t
at least heard of it.
In fact, many of us use it on a
（
42
）
basis and
even have access to it from
our homes! The “net” in “internet”
should
（
43
）
network. A network is two or more computers
connected together so
that
information
can
be
shared,
or
sent
from
one
computer
to
another.
It’s
kind of like a giant bulletin board
that the whole world uses! But since
anyone can put anything on the
internet, you also have to be careful and
use your best
（
44
）
and a little common sense.
Just because
you read something on a piece of paper someone
sticks on
a
bulletin
board
，
it
doesn’t
（
45
）
it’s
good
information,
or
even
（
46
）
.
So
you
have
to
be
sure
that
whoever
posted
the
information
knows
what
they’re
talking about,
（
47
）
if
you’re doing
research! But what
if you’re
just
emailing people? You
still have to be very careful. If you’ve never met
the
person
that
you’re
communicating
with
online,
you
could
be
on
dangerous
ground! You should
never give out any
（
48
）
information to someone you
don’t know,
not even your name! And just like you can’t
believe the
information on every
website out there, you can’t rely on what
strangers
you “meet” on the internet
tell you either. Just like you could
（
49
）
things about yourself to tell someone,
someone else could do the same to
you!
Ⅲ. Cloze
Directions: For each blank in the
following passages there are four words
or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill
in each blank with the word or phrase
that best fits the context.
People often ask which is the most
difficult language to learn, and it
is
not
easy
to
answer
because
there
are
many
factors
to
take
into
consideration.
Firstly,
in
a
first
language
the
differences
are
（
50
）
as
people learn their mother tongue
naturally, so the question of how hard a
language is to learn is only
（
51
）
when learning a second language.
A
native speaker of Spanish,
（
52
）
,
will find Portuguese much easier
to
learn
than
a
native
speaker
of
Chinese,
because
Portuguese
is
very
similar
to
Spanish,
（
53
）
Chinese
is
very
different.
So
first
language
can
（
54
）
learning a second language. The greater
the differences between the second
language
and
our
first
are,
the
（
55
）
it
will
be
for
most
people
to
learn.
Many people answer
that Chinese is the hardest language to learn,
possibly
（
56
）
by the thought of learning the Chinese writing
system, and the
pronunciation of
Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many
foreign
learners.
（
57
）
,
for
Japanese
speakers,
who
already
use
Chinese
characters
in their own language, learning
（
58
）
will be less difficult than for
speakers of languages using the Roman
alphabet.
Some people seem to learn
languages
（
59
）
,
while others find it very
difficult.
Teachers
and the
（
60
）
in
which the language is learned also
play an important role, as well as each
learner's motivation for learning.
If
people learn a language because they need to use
it
（
61
）
,
they often
learn it faster than people
studying a language that has no direct use in
their day to day life.
Different
cultures
and
（
62
）
from
those
cultures
will
find
different
languages
more
difficult.
No
language
is
easy
to
learn
well,
（
63
）
languages
which are related to our
first language are easier. Learning a completely
different writing system is a huge
（
64
）
,
but that does not necessarily
make a
language more difficult than another.

IV. Reading Comprehension
Directions: Read the following
four
passages.
Each passage is followed by
several
questions
or
unfinished
statements.
For
each
of
them
there
are
four
choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that fits best according to
the
information given in the passage your have just
read.
(A)
Janet
was
employed
as
a
designer
in
an
advertising
company.
She
had
worked
there for two years,
when she was
offered a promotion to
become head of her
department. She was
very happy when she heard of her promotion.
However,
she was also rather concerned
as she had recently found out that she was
pregnant. Later that day, she asked her
husband what he thought she should
do.
He
felt
that
she
should
first
accept
the
promotion
and
then,
a
few
months
later, tell her
employers about her pregnancy. Janet wasn’t so
sure this
was a good suggestion, as she
felt that it might be dishonest of her not
to
let
her
employers
know
about
the
change
in
her
condition.
She
telephoned
her best friend and asked for her
advice. Cheryl, her best friend, asked
her if she felt that she would be able
to continue working as hard after
the
birth of her child as she had been working up to
that point in time.
Janet
assured
her
that
this
was
the
case
and
so
her
friend
told
her
to
trust
her husband’s judgment.
A
few
months
later,
Janet
told
her
employers
about
her
pregnancy.
At
first,
they congratulated
her on her pregnancy and wished her all the best.
Over
the next few weeks, she felt that
her workload was slowly
increasing to
the
point that she
could
not handle.
Later that
month, she received a call from
the
personnel department and was told that due to her
inability to keep up
with the demands
of her job, they were going to have to let her go.
Janet
couldn’t believe what she was
hearing. She
couldn
’
t
understand why, if
a few months earlier
they had promoted
her for
her excellence,
they had
now
decided to let her go.
65.
Where did Janet work
according to the passage?
A. In a
department store.
C. In a trading
company.
B.
In an advertising agency.
D. In a
public service enterprise.
66.
Why was Janet worried when she was
offered the promotion?
A.
Because she was not sure whether she
was qualified for the new job
or not.
B.
Because she
found it difficult to continue working after
pregnancy.
C.
Because
she
was
afraid
that
her
husband
didn
’
t
like
her
to
be
promoted.
D.
Because she
was not sure what would happen if the company knew
about
her pregnancy.
67.
Which of the following is NOT TRUE
according to the passage?
A.
Janet finally took her
husband
’
s advice.
B.
Janet
’
s friend gave her the
same suggestion.
C.
Janet failed to keep her job despite
her efforts.
D.
Janet didn
’
t work as hard
after the promotion.
68.
What did Janet think of the decision
made by her employers?
A. Ridiculous.
B
D.
Sensible.
B.
Acceptable.
C.
Inevitable.
