Directions: This part is to rest your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfil. 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 unfurnished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) or D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line thorough the center. Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at time. In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast when they can. But in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different when one wants to walk. At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London’s Oxford Street. But the streets near Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them. Most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short. In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really now. Instead, I am surprised at myself: I must go there next year on business. I know I hate the overcrowded city. But I feel like a man who is returning to his long-lost love.

Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. You agreed to have houseguests for the holidays. What were you thinking The idea is to keep chaos at a minimum (把混乱减小到最低程度) this time of year. Having other people in your home, even ones you love, is only going to make things worse. It’s a great act of love to have people staying with you this time of year. But go over the details of the visit. That includes finding out exactly when your guests are coming and, just as important, when they’re leaving. Although talking about the end of the visit before it begins may seem awkward (尴尬的), you’ll feel better if you know. It’s a frequently asked question “what to do about guests who don’t leave”. Unfortunately, there’s no easy answer. Some people prefer to stay in hotels when visiting friends because they don’t like other people’s house rules. We all have them, and it’s best to let your guests know yours immediately. Maybe you don’t allow smoking in your home. Maybe you aren’t comfortable having unmarried couples staying in the same bedroom. The most successful visits will happen when you find the right balance between what you can live with and what makes your guest feel at home.
