Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted one. Here is a great argument in favor of traveling abroad and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling or living in the country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what the country and its people are like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!Differences between peoples do, of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to exist. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With almost the whole of Western Europe belonging to the European Economic Community (EEC) and the increasing standardization this brings about, plus the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might be some truth in this—at least as far as Europe is concerned. However true this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different animal from themselves.1. The passage is mostly concerned with the issue of .2. According to the author, .3. Some people think that European peoples are identifying themselves with each other because of the following EXCEPT .4. The clause “However true this may be” in the second paragraph suggests that .5. The passage seems to attach importance to __.

So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity: It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.1. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that .2. The teaching of reading will be successful if .3. The word “scrutiny” (Sentence 2, Paragraph 3) most probably means .4. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when .5. The main idea of the passage is that __.

When you close your eyes and try to think of the shape of your own body, what you imagine (or rather, what you feel) is quite different from what you see when you open your eyes and look in the mirror. The image you feel is much vaguer than the one you see. And if you lie still, it is quite hard to imagine yourself as having any particular size or shape.When you move, when you feel the weight of your arms and legs and the natural resistance of the objects around you, the “felt” image of yourself starts to become clearer. It is almost as if it were created by your own actions and the feelings they cause.The image you create for yourself has rather strange proportions: certain parts feel much larger than they look. If you get a hole in one of your teeth, it feels enormous; you are often surprised by how small it looks when you inspect it in the mirror.But although the “felt” image may not have the shape you see in the mirror, it is much more important. It is the image through which you recognize your physical existence in the world. In spite of its strange proportions, it is all one piece, and since it has a consistent right and left and top and bottom, it allows you to locate new feelings when they occur. It allows you to find your nose in the dark and point to a pain.If the felt image is damaged for any reason—if it is cut in half or lost as it often is after certain strokes which wipe out recognition of one entire side—these tasks become almost impossible. What is more, it becomes hard to make sense of one’s own visual appearance. If one half of the “felt” image is wiped out or injured, the patient stops recognizing the affected part of his body. It is hard for him to find the location of feelings on that side, and, although he feels the doctor’s touch, he locates it as being on the undamaged side.1. In which of the following situations will you find your image most vague?2. When you concentrate on the image of a certain part of your body, the part will look to you.3. Why is the felt image important?4. The italicized “these tasks” in the last paragraph does NOT mean .5. Which of the following could be the title of the passage?

Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with some questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.“The Chinese national economy has kept a steady and rapid growth,” said the Development Research Center (DRC) of the State Council (国务院) in a research report on the Chinese economy released in November. The DRC research focuses on development trends in the Chinese economy.But this stability is rooted in the strengthening of macroeconomic control measures adopted by the Chinese Government. In late 2005, China implemented a series of control measures, which have achieved some effects. But just when observers expected stable economic cooling in 2006, the economic performance in early 2006 made them wonder whether the economy was overheated. In the first quarter alone, fixed assets investment in urban areas surged 29.8 percent over a year ago, which was 4.5 percentage points higher than the rate in the same period last year. Newly increased loans were as high as 1.26 trillion yuan, accomplishing 50.3 percent of the amount for the whole year. The fast growth of fixed assets investment and newly increased loans led to overheating tendencies. Under these circumstances, the Chinese Government has to strengthen its macroeconomic control measures.To cope with rapid credit growth, the government adopted a tight monetary policy, and has raised interest rates and deposit reserve ratio for commercial banks for three times since April.Since the real estate sector is a major force driving investment growth, the State Council issued six measures on May 17 related to readjusting house supply structures and speeding up the formation of the low-rent housing system in urban areas.In its Asian Development Outlook 2006 released in Beijing, the Asian Development Bank predicts that China’s economic growth for 2006 will stand at 10.4 percent.In its macroeconomic analysis and forecast report released on November 25, the Institute of Economics of Renmin University of China suggests that the Chinese economy faces a period of decline after rapid growth, but in 2006 China will still reach its highest GDP level in recent years, with the growth rate hitting 10.48 percent. According to the report, fixed assets investment in the year will shoot up 27 percent and the consumer price index will rise by 1.5 percent.

Research by Deborah Tannen provides us with some important insights into the differences between men and women in terms of their conversational styles. In particular, she has been able to explain why gender often creates oral communication barriers. The essence of Tannen’s research is that men use talk to emphasize status whereas women use it to create connection. Tannen states that communication is a continual balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. Intimacy emphasizes closeness and commonalities. Independence emphasizes separateness and differences. So, for many men, conversations are primarily a means to preserve independence and maintain status in a hierarchical social order. For many women, conversations are negotiations for closeness in which people try to seek and give confirmation and support.
