Part 3 Skimming and Scanning (True/False)

(Each item: 2)

Directions:Read the following passage. Then decide whether the following statements

are True or False.

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the same passage or dialog.

Time limit: 4 minutes and 57 seconds

As my train wasn't due to leave for another hour, I had plenty of time. I made my way to the

luggage (行李) office to collect the suitcase (小型旅行箱). I took out my wallet to find the receipt (收据) for my case, but the receipt was nowhere to be found. When my turn came, I explained this

situation to the assistant. The man looked at me suspiciously (怀疑地) and asked me to describe

the case. I told him that it was an old, brown object no different from the many cases I could see on

the shelves. The assistant then gave me a form and told me to make a list of the chief contents of

the case. If the list was correct, he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the

articles I had hurriedly packed, and I wrote them down.

After I had done this, I went to look among shelves. There were hundreds of cases there and, for

one terrible moment, it occurred to me that if someone had picked up the receipt, he could have

easily claimed (认领) the case already. This did not happen fortunately, for after a time I found the

case lying on its side high up in a corner. After examining the articles inside, the assistant was

soon satisfied that it was mine and told me I could take the case away. Again I took out my wallet,

this time to pay. I pulled out a ten-shilling note and the "lost" receipt came out with it. I couldn't help

blushing (脸红) and looked up at the assistant. He was nodding his head knowingly, as if to say

that he had often seen this happen.

Part 4 Skimming and Scanning (Short Asnwer)

(Each item: 2)

Directions:Read the following passage. Then fill in the blanks to complete the

statements that follow the passage.

Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.

Time limit: 4 minutes and 45 seconds

My holiday wish was to dance the "Nutcracker" ballet (《胡桃夹子》芭蕾舞). I was 12 years old and

attended ballet school. Several children from our class were to be chosen to perform minor roles in

a local company's holiday ballet. Everyone thought that star students like Anna or Isabella would

be chosen. I wanted it to be me.

We had four weeks before the company came. I practiced every day at home and twice a week in

class. I also read stories about famous ballerinas (芭蕾舞女). Every day I thought about the roles

in the "Nutcracker". And every night I listened to its music.

Auditions (试演) arrived in the blink (眨眼) of an eye. I danced the best I could. But finally, the

company director announced who had been chosen. I was not on the list.

A friend came over to me. "Maria, you were an inch away from being picked," she said. "But, I

think Isabella might have done a little better than you on some moves."

"Maybe next year," she said hopefully.

But I was doubtful. As I left, I turned around to stare at the girls who were chosen. They were

laughing and talking happily to each other. "I will not be jealous (嫉妒的) of them," I promised

myself as I left the building.

That night, I lay in bed re-reading a book about Sara-Anne, a famous ballerina. The last chapter

was called "Try, Try Again". It talked about how Sara-Anne became famous.

When I finished reading it, I realized I could not get upset over not getting chosen. If I tried again

and again and did not give up, I would finally get to dance in a ballet.

66. The point of the story can be best described as ________________________.

67. Before the company came, the young girl did ________________________ at home.

68. The young girl in the story felt ________________ when she discovered that she was not

chosen.

69. When encouraged to compete (竞争) for the chance next year, the young girl was

________________________.

70. After re-reading a book about Sara-Anne, the young girl got encouragement

Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)

(Each item: 2)

Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the

four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 71 to 75 are based on the same passage or dialog.

There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures, animals are in

a worse position than human beings. In some cases, however, people treat their pets like

members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, there are special

shops that sell clothing and food for cats and dogs.

In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for big markets in many

places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in a small town in France, there is a special

restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. The dogs

choose from a variety of dishes on the menu.

Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in such wealth and comfort. People treat their

pets in a more practical way. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other

unwanted animals. Owners have some loving feelings for their pets, but they do not see them as

equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn't any special clothing or fine food

for animals. There aren't any special restaurants for dogs.

Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.

Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.

Yukio is a twenty-four year old Japanese businessman. A few months ago, his company sent him

to work at its New York City office for half a year. This was his first experience living in the United

States.

Yukio thought New York City was very exciting, but he also found it very strange. It was difficult for

him to get used to it. He found it strange to be with people from so many different races. He

sometimes found American people very direct, open, and honest-though he still couldn't

understand them. He wished he could become friends with some Americans, but he wasn't sure

how to get along with them. Most of the time, he felt very lonely and missed Japan.

But soon some sunshine came into his life. A new clerk came to work in his office part-time. She

was American, as were most of the clerks in his office. Her name was Cindy. She was very clever,

friendly, and good-looking. Cindy was also a student studying business. Cindy and Yukio got along

very well. They talked together whenever possible. Cindy told Yukio her dreams of having a

successful business. She said she was not really interested in getting married or having children.

She wanted to use all of her energy for business. Yukio found Cindy very interesting and very

different from the women he knew before. In a similar way, Cindy found Yukio unique among all

the men that she knew. Soon the two fell in love and they were both very happy.

But now it is almost time for Yukio to return to Japan. Yukio wants Cindy to return to Japan with

him and marry him. But Cindy doesn't speak any Japanese. She fears that Yukio wants her to

become an ordinary wife and have children right away. Cindy wants Yukio to stay in New York

City.

They feel very bad, not knowing what they should do. Should they stay in New York? Should they

go to Japan? Sometimes they think they should separate, but they also feel they cannot live

without each other.

Questions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.

Friends play an important part in our lives. And while we may get along well with a number of

people, we can only be friends with very few. The average student, for example, has about 6

friends.

Most people spend time with others they like, but still the degree of intimacy between them and the

reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account

things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors

are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get along with people when there is a marked

difference in age and background.

Many friends avoid argument. It is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs. They

have attitudes and interests in common that they often talk about and they might think of

themselves being "on the same wavelength". It generally takes time to reach this point however.

And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another for favors and

to keep promises. Also, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate

differences of opinion.

In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association

between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared

experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences

in background, and break down barriers of age, class, or race.

81. What is True according to the first paragraph?

A. A person can only have a few real friends.

B. We should put things such as age, race, economic conditions, social positions, and

intelligence in the first place when making friends.

C. People whom we can get along well with are our friends.

D. A student has six friends at most.

82. In Paragraph 3, "being on the same wavelength" means ______.

A. talking as fast as others

B. having the same topic as others

C. having attitudes and interests in common

D. having the same experiences and emotions

83. The word " intimately" in Paragraph 3 perhaps means______.

A. far away

B. closely

C. well

D. in distance

84. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Even friends may have difference of opinion.

B. Friends never argue with each other.

C. It takes time to become good friends.

D. Shared experiences can make for a strong friendship.

85. To strengthen friendly relationships, people______.

A. should have the same age, class, and race
