Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed. Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage. You will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40.For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked [A],[B],[C] and [D]. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Today almost everybody is using a cell phone. Now people are able to carry their phones wherever they go. They are making phone calls, regardless of time, place and situation. It is true that technology is making our lives easier and more practical. For example, today parents like their children to carry cell phones so that they can reach them at any time. From my point of view, the cell phone is necessary for emergency situations and for business. It’s also practical to avoid stress. Unexpected problems are always cropping up; and using a cell phone can get rid of the stress they cause. For example, if you are in a traffic jam and know you will arrive late to work, you can call your boss and inform him of the situation, overcoming this unexpected problem. Or, if you have a small car accident, you can call people to inform them of your situation. The widespread use of this device is amazing. It has become an important part of our daily lives. Whenever people forget their phones at home, they feel uncomfortable or unable to function. Another advantage of having a cell phone is that you can connect to the Internet and check your e-mail. In addition, you can access information such as news or movies theater schedules. Life is now fast and busy, and this high tech communication device has become a must. We need cell phones to keep up with the fast pace of life and the new demands of life in our ever changing world. 36. Cell phones can make our life_______________ [A] easier. [B] busy [C] fast [D]uncomfortable 37. The cell phones are often used by___________ [A]a few people [B] most people [C] young people only [D] children in school only 38.If people leave their phones at home, they will___________ [A] feel at a loss [B] be connected to the Internet [C] have some unexpected problems [D] check their e-mails 39.One of the advantages of using cell phones is that____________ [A] it can make the relations between parents and their children closer. [B] it can make people feel less stressed from their work [C] we can get some information as quickly as possible. [D] we can know what to do under some emergency situations 40.Which of the following statements is TRUE? [A] Cell phones are not suitable for children to use. [B] Using cell phones very often may cause stress. [C] Your boss likes to be informed by your cell phone. [D] People can get in touch with each other at any time with cell phone.
Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. There are many different cultures in the world, and in each of them the children must learn a great many things that are expected of everyone who participates effectively in that culture. These things are taken for granted by everyone who shares culture. Indeed, the children begin to learn them before their linguistic skill are far enough developed to understand a verbal description for what they are learning. This kind of learning has sometimes been called “imitation”, but that is much too simple an explanation for the complex processes that go on when a child learns what is normal and expected in his own community. Most of the rules are communicated to the child non-verbally, and he adapts to them as if no other possibilities existed. They are as much a part of him as his own body; he would no more question them than he would question the fact that he has two hands and two feet, but only one head.
41.Children have to learn a large number of things which________ in their culture. [A] are difficult for them to learn [B] are regarded as especially important for them [C] are taken as normal by everyone [D] are expected for them to learn 42.Children begin to learn things by_____________ [A] using their linguistic skills [B] understanding what they are learning [C] communicating effectively [D] imitating what others are doing 43.The learning processes for the children are __________ [A] complex [B] simple [C] normal [D] skillful 44. Children accept the communication rules_________ [A] thoughtfully [B] unconsciously [C] cautiously [D] choosingly 45.Which of the following statements is correct? [A] Children always ask why they have two hands. [B] Children learn all that they are expected through imitation. [C] Children learn things faster than adults. [D] Children adapt to the communication rules naturally. 正确答案：
