Passage 1
Today is an extraordinary day for me. When I boarded the plane to New York, I started my adventure to China. Next school year I will study as an exchange student in China.
My flight to China was the longest journey that I have ever had. I went to the Boston airport really early to catch the 8:32 AM flight. When I got onto the plane, I found it was a very small plane. But the flight was only one hour so it wasn’t too bad. I made the connecting flight in New York. I had to hurry since there was only one hour for me to make the connection. When I rushed to the boarding gate, I was told that our flight was delayed due to poor weather conditions.
Fortunately, I had told my host family in advance to check the latest information of my flight. When I got on board the plane an hour later, everything turned out smooth and pleasant. The flight attendants were very friendly, the food served on the plane was tasty and my aisle seat was really comfortable.
After a 13-hour flight, I arrive in Beijing finally. Suddenly I saw so many Chinese people and heard so many people speaking Chinese. It was so exciting! Unfortunately I left my passport on the airplane, so I had to go back to find it. Finally I met my host family at the airport. Mr. Han Dongping, the father, works as general manager of a company and his son, Xiaolin, is a college sophomore majoring in Computer Science. They were both kind and friendly. It was very nice of them to meet me at the airport.
As my first day in China, today marks the first step that I have taken to realize my dream. I know there would be hardships of living in China, but I am sure it is going to be a valuable experience of a lifetime.
1. Why is it an extraordinary day for Hans?
A. Because he was going to New York.
B. Because he was going to China to study as an exchange student.
C. Because he was going to travel by plane for the first time.
2. How long did it take Hans to fly from Boston to New York?
A. About one hour.
B. Two hours.
C. 13 hours.
3. Why was the flight from New York to Beijing delayed?
A. Because there were too many flights.
B. Because the weather conditions were bad.
C. Because some passengers were late.
4. How long did it take Hans to fly from New York to Beijing?
A. One hour.
B. Two hours.
C. 13 hours.
5. How did Hans expect his life in China to be?
A. There would be hardships of living.
B. valuable experience.
C. Both A and B.
Passage 2
Given the options we have all around us these days, why would anyone ever read a book? We have movies to entertain us, video games to attract us, cell phones to distract us, and the latest reality TV to give us something to talk about. With so many buttons to push and screens to stare at, who has the time or patience to read a book?
Because reading makes you smarter! The following reasons will convince you.
First of all, reading can increase your vocabulary. Reading helps you to learn new words! People who can speak clearly and effectively make good first impressions whether meeting new friends or in a job interview.
Reading can exercise your brain. The mind is a muscle. It needs exercise. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows in its ability. Compared to watching television where you simply sit and take everything in, reading forces you to think.
Reading can broaden your knowledge. Reading can open you up to all kinds of new ideas. Your friends will be surprised when you can explain the in-depth details of the latest scientific discovery.
Reading can also help reduce stress. What’s more relaxing than sitting outside and reading a novel on a lazy summer day? Our lives are packed with responsibilities from morning to night. Taking a few minutes to slow down can do a great deal for your mental health. Reading is an activity you can do at your own speed.
Last but not least, reading can develop your imagination. A good writer will paint a picture of characters, settings and scenes, but they can only do so much for you. The rest is up to your imagination. In TV and movies, everything is given to you, but with books you have to come up with the details on your own. Reading encourages an active imagination, in adults as well as children.
6. What do movies, video games, cell phones, and the latest reality TV have in common?
A. They are all expensive.
B. They are all entertaining.
C. They are all fashionable.
7. In what way can reading help people perform better in a job interview?
A. Reading makes people more easy-going.
B. Reading makes people more friendly.
C. Reading helps people speak clearly and effectively.
8. Why does the author of the passage compare the brain to a muscle?
A. Because both of them need exercise.
B. Because both of them are part of the human body.
C. Because both of them make people smart.
9. Why does the author of the passage suggest “taking a few minutes to slow down”?
A. Because people run too fast today.
B. Because people have a lot of stress today.
C. Because people relax themselves too much.
10. In what way is reading better than TV or movies?
A. Developing imagination.
B. Developing confidence.
C. Developing good habits.
