第二部分：閱讀理解（共25小題；第一節(jié)每小題2分，第二節(jié)每小題1分；滿分45分）
第一節(jié)：閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
A
Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say," My spoken English is poor. " However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can. Even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that is heard is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主動進攻型)language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.
41. What is most probably the writer's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To improve your reading.
B. To improve your listening.
C. To improve your spoken English.
D. To improve your vocabulary.
42. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _______
A. Don't be fluency. Just be accuracy !
B. Don't be nervous, don't be shy. Just write !
C. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Just speak !
D. Don't be shy, don't be fluency. Just listen and write !
43. The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of "________"
A. More hurry, less speed. B. Better late than never.
C. Silence is gold. D. Practice makes perfect.
44. The text is most probably taken from a _______
A. teacher's diary B. report on study
C. sports newspaper D. movie magazine
B
The murder took place around ten o' clock p. m. on June 10th. Thirty-two people watched Kitty being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet, none of the 32 helped her. Not even one called the police. Was this inhumane cruelty? Was it lack of feeling for one's fellow man?
"Not so," say scientists Dr. Darley and Dr. Fatane. They've found the reasons why people don't act. According to them, a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice there is an emergency.
Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall onto the ground. Is he having a heart attack, or some other physical trouble? Or is he simply about to sleep off a drunk? So it's not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.
Second and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel himself responsible. He must feel that he must help.
The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They asked college students to come in to be "tested". Some came alone, some with one or two others, and some in large groups. When they came in either alone, in pairs, or in groups, a lady went into the next room. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of something falling and a cry for help. All of these had been pre-recorder.
Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.
In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn't. They do not feel any direct responsibility.
45. Why didn't the thirty-two people act to help Kitty according to the passage?
A. Because they were afraid to be killed.
B. Because they were cruel in their hearts.
C. Because they thought others would help. ,
D. Because they didn't notice the emergency.
46. Which of the following is an emergency.'?
A. Someone is falling onto the ground.
B. Someone is needing help.
C. Someone is sleeping off a drunk.
D. Someone is having a heart attack.
47. The result of the tests shows that_______.
A. none of the tested students acted to help
B. the more people there are together, the more people will act to help
C. the more people there are together, the fewer people will act to help
D. college students would be more likely to help than ordinary Americans
48. It can be concluded from the passage that Americans don't ______ in a group.
A. notice an emergency
B. feel direct responsibility
C. depend on each other
D. go through two steps before they act
C
My senior year, I can't believe it's almost over. Now when I look back, it was stressful, but exciting, the ball, graduation, and then of course, college.
I started my college application process months before Christmas. My parents told me it would be smart if I set up interviews and tours. But 1 didn't have clear aim. I wanted to go to college, but I didn't want to deal with the stress.
As the days flew by, my applications lay on my desk just as I had left them three months before. "You are wasting valuable time, "my parents complained. Sweeping away the gathered dust on the applications, I worked on them every Sunday until I finished. Next came writing the essays. I had many ideas, but every school had different requirements. I changed them until I was pleased. Finally, everything was underway.
Now I just had
to wait. In March, I started receiving letters of rejection. I began to think
that I had set myself up for disappointment. I had a letter from Salem State
College stating that they wanted to see my third quarter grades before they
made their decision. Yes! At least someone wanted to consider me. At the
beginning of April, I received a letter from
The college application process hurt me deeply. All my friends had dozens of schools to choose from. I guess my parents were right. High school grades are undoubtedly important to your future plans. If I could do it all over again, I would take it more seriously.
49. How did the writer feel in the way of going to college?
A. Happy. B. Sad. C. Mixed. D. Changeable.

E
Avi Sadeh, a
Psychology Professor at
To investigate the effects on children of adding or reducing an hour of sleep, Sadeh changed the number of hours slept by 77 fourth and sixth graders for five days during a week when the children were healthy and there were no special social events or school activities.
Sadeh and his colleagues found an extra hour of sleep can make a big difference. The children who slept longer, although they woke up more frequently during the night, scored higher on tests, Sadeh reported in the March/April issue of journal Child Development.
" When the children slept longer, their sleep quality was somewhat weak, but in spite of this their performance for study improved because the extra sleep was more significant than the reduction in sleep quality. " Sadeh said. "Some studies suggested that lack of sleep as a child affects development into adulthood and it's more likely to develop their attention disorder when they grow older. "
"Previous research has shown children in elementary school need at least nine hours of sleep a night on a regular basis", said Carl Hunt, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research in Bethesda," and high-school-age children need somewhat less, adding the results of insufficient sleep could be serious. "
"A tired child is an accident waiting to happen," Hunt said. "And as kids get older, toys get bigger and the risks higher. "Hunt also said too little sleep could result in learning and memory problems and long-term effects on school performance.
"This is an important extension of what we already know," Hunt said of Sadeh's research, "adding sleep is as important as nutrition and exercise to good health. To put it into reality, parents should make sure they know when their children actually are going to sleep and their rooms are conducive to sleeping instead of playing. "
57. What is Child Development?
A. A new story. B. A popular book.
C. A periodical magazine. D. A TV programme.
58. How many persons are exactly mentioned in the text?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
59. The underlined phrase "conducive to" ( in the last sentence) could be replaced by ______.
A. helping to produce B. influenced by
C. full of D. acceptable of
60. The following statements are right EXCEPT _______ according to the passage?
A. There are some daily struggles between parents and children because of having nothing in common with extra rest time.
B. The children who sleep longer are weak in their study.
C. Lack of sleep as a child has great effect on their development into adulthood.
D. In General, children in elementary school need at least nine hours of sleep a night.
