(110=10)_Some people think the best time to begin studying a foreign language is in childhood. There is no evidence, _21_ , that children in a language classroom learn foreign languages any better than adults in the similar classroom situations. In fact, adults have many advantages _22_children: better memories, more efficient ways of organizing information, better study habits, and greater ability to handle _23_mental tasks. Adults are often better motivated than children: they see learning a foreign language as _24_for education or career._Age _25_have some disadvantages, however. For instance, adults usually want to learn a foreign language _26_unlike children, who can devote more time to language mastery. Also, adults have complex communication needs that extend beyond the mere ability to _27_a simple conversation. Adults need to be _28_to argue, persuade, express concern and present information about complex matters that pertain to their work or education.

Reading Comprehension (215=30)Passage 1_For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision. Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, “Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance we couldnt afford.” With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters, transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less._Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings._There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction._From my own experience, I would like to suggest that sometime the decision to go back to work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasnt mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girls eyes.31. Why do many women have to work outside their home?A. Because their economic situation decides that they have no other alternative.B. Because they dont like looking after the children at home.C. Because doing the housework is very dull and unpaid.D. Because they think the work outside their home is a luxury for them.32. Why did Marge and her husband consider it an extravagance for Marge to go back to work?A. Because they might pay more than they earned on the whole.B. Because Marge has to take care of their children at home.C. Because they dont have a baby sister to help them.D. Because Marge has to pay more transportation fares.33. What are the two major considerations in deciding whether women should go out to work?A. The economic factor and their social status in life.B. The social status and the family role they play in the family.C. The economic factor and the emotional needs of family members.D. Requirements of the society.34. Some women would rather do housework and take care of their children than pursue a career because they feel _.A. highly stressed while working at homeB. greatly competitive at workC. surprisingly upset while working with menD. deeply satisfied with their work at home35. If given a second chance, the author would probably choose to _.A. work outside home and make a lot of moneyB. stay at home and take care of her familyC. work outside home one week and stay at home the otherD. observe the world in their little daughters eyesPassage 2_We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways._It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns._Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese “surprise” can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!” Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike._Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on peoples faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.36. According to the passage, _.A. we can hardly understand what peoples gestures meanB. we cannot often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gesturesC. words can be better understood by older peopleD. gestures can be understood by most of the people while words cannot37.

In the same culture, _.A. people have different ability to understand and express feelingsB. people have the same understanding of somethingC. people never fail to understand each otherD. people are equally intelligent39. From this passage, we can conclude that _.A. words are used as frequently as gesturesB. words are often found difficult to understandC. words and gestures are both used in expressing feelingsD. gestures are more efficiently used than words40. The best title for this passage may be _.A. Words and FeelingsB. Words, Gestures and FeelingsC. Gestures and FeelingsD. Culture and UnderstandingPassage 3_The air is polluted. The earth is poisoned. Water is unsafe to drink and rubbish is burying the civilization that produced it._Our environment is being contaminated faster than nature and mans present efforts can prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry. More people and more industry will bring us more motor vehicles, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials. This is happening not only in advanced societies but among the developing nations as they become industrialized. Pollution is, in a sense, exported._Now many scientists are expressing fears about the possibility of world pollution. Some experts declare that the balance of nature is being so upset that the very survival of humanity is in danger._What can explain and solve this growing problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man by his greed and his modern way of life. We make increasing “industrialization” our chief aim. For its sake we are willing to sacrifice everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, so in that time has pollution become a serious problem. The connection is clear._Isnt it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? It reminds one of the stories about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “Ive some good news and some bad news. The good news is that were making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that were lost and dont know where were going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when applied to our modern society.41.

Who caused this problem according to the passage?A. The motor cycles.B. The growing industries.C. The human beings.D. The larger cities.44. Why do people constantly move from the countryside into the cities?A. Because the earth in the countryside was polluted.B. Because there are more jobs provided in the cities.C. Because it is easier to make a living in the cities.D. Because they are eager to get the benefits of modern cities.45. What is the authors purpose by concluding his article with a story?A. To show that though we have made great progress in development we lost our direction in the modern society.B. To illustrate that we are now in the process of flying a plane with a confused pilot driving it.C. To prove that neither flying a lost plane nor directing the way of a plane is an easy job.D.
