III. Reading
Comprehension 50%
Section A 15%
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.
I used to hate being called upon in
class mainly because I didn’t like
attention
drawn
to
myself.
And
50 otherwise
assigned
a
seat
by
the
teacher,
I always 51 to
sit at the back of the classroom.
All
this 52 after
I
joined
a
sports
team.
It
began
when
a
teacher
suggested
I try out for the
basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy
53
because I didn’t have a good sense
of balance, nor did I have the 54
__
to keep pace with the others on the
team and they would tease me. But for
the teacher who kept insisting on my “
55 for it”, I wouldn’t have
decided to
give a try.
Getting up the courage to
go to the tryouts was only the 56 of it! When
I
first
started
attending
the
practice
sessions,
I
didn’t
even
know
the
rules
of the game, much less what I was
doing. Sometimes I’d get 57 and take
a shot at the wrong
direction
—
which made me feel
really stupid. 58 , I
wasn’t
the
only
one
“new”
at
the
game,
so
I
decided
to
59
on
learning
the
game,
do
my
best at
each
practice
session,
and
not
be
too
hard
on
myself
for the things I
didn’t know “just yet”.
I
practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the rules and
the “moves”. Being
part of a team was
fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive part
in me
was
winning
over
my
lack
of
confidence.
With
time,
I
learned
how
to
play
and
made
friends
in
the
60
—
friends
who
respected
my
efforts to
work
hard
and be a team player. I
never had so much fun!
With
my
61
self-confidence
comes
more
praise
from
teachers
and
classmates. I have gone from “62” in
the back of the classroom and not
wanting to call attention to myself,
63 raising my hand
—
even
when I
sometimes wasn’t and not 100
percent
_64 I had the right answer.
Now I
have more self-confidence in
myself.

( A )
Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to
manage on her husband’s income. So this
year
she
did
something
more
than
a
hobby:
She
planted
vegetables
in
her
yard.
For her first garden,
Ms. Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five
rows
of
a
variety
of
vegetables.
The
family’s
old
farm
house
has
become
a
chicken
house, its residents arriving next
month. Last year, Ms. Rita Gartin kept
a
small
garden.
This
year
she
has
made
it
much
larger
because,
she
said,
“The
cost
of everything is going up and I was looking to
lose a few pounds too;
so it’s a
win
-
win situation all
around.”
They are among the
growing number of Americans who, driven by higher
living
costs
and
a
falling
economy,
have
taken
up
vegetable
gardening
for
the
first
time.
Others
have
increased
the
size
of
their
existing
gardens.
Seed
companies and garden
shops say no since the 1970s have there been such
an
increase in interest in growing food
at home. Now many gardens across the
country have been sold out for several
months. In Austin, Tex., some of the
gardens have a three-year waiting list.
George
C.
Ball
Jr.
owner
of
a
company,
said
sales
of
vegetable
seeds
and
plants
are
up
by
40%,
over
last
year,
double
the
average
growth
of
last
five
years.
Mr.
Ball
argues
that
some
of
the
reasons
have
been
building
for
the
last
few
years. The big one is striking use in
the cost on food like bread and milk,
together
with
the
increases
in
the
price
of
fruit
and
vegetables.
Food
prices
have
increase of higher oil price. People are driving
less, taking fewer
vacations, so there
is more time to garden.
65. What does
the word “residents” in Paragraph 1 probably refer
to?
A. chickens
B. tomatoes C. gardens D.
people
66.
By
saying
“a
win
-
win
situation
all
around”,
M
s.
Gartin
means
that____.
