A
“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” expects to hear the answer “Fine” even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simple other ways of saying “Hello” and “Hi”.
Sometimes people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?”, the other person might be thinking, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong.” But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say, “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish conversation (talk) with other people. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one person says “I’ve got to go now.” The person who wants to hang up gives an excuse. “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove(火炉).” The excuse might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t very polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s all part of the game of language!
56. When a person in the United States asks, “How are you?” he or she expects to hear _____.
A. “How are you?” B. “Hello.”
C. “I don’t know.” D. “Fine.”
57. When a person wants to disagree with someone, it is very polite to say _____.
A. “You’re wrong. I disagree.” B. “I’m not sure.”
C. “I’m sure I disagree.” D. “No, I disagree.”
58. When a person says, “I’ve got to go now. Someone’s at the door.” The person may be _____.
A. giving an excuse B. hurting someone’s feeling
C. talking to a person at the door D. listening to the doorbell
59. One of the rules of the game of language is probably _____.
A. “Always say what you mean.” B. “Don’t disagree with people.”
C. “Never say exactly what you want.” D. “Be polite.”

Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always making new words and we should be able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, however, no one may really knows where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham (火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg.
They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some American saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We came from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of the beef like what the man from Hamburg ate and sold in many countries around the world.
Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why a word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. The reason may be found in any large English dictionary.
60. Hamburg is _____.
A. a kind of food B. a round piece of beef
C. the name of a village D. a city in Germany
61. According to the story, _______.
A. few Americans like hamburgers B. hamburgers are made with beef
C. hamburgers are made with ham
D. hamburgers were sold all over the world about a century ago
62. According to the writer, which of the following can be found in any large English dictionary?
A. Where all the new words come from.
B. Where those Germans came from.
C. The reason why a word has a certain meaning.
D. The reason why English is spoken around the world.
63. According to the story, the word “hamburgers” comes from ______.
A. China because it has a long history
B. England because Germans don’t speak good English
C. The round pieces of beef those people from Hamburg brought to America.
D. English speakers because they always make new words.
C
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn buy being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such tiring work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
64. What does the writer think is the best way for children to learn things?
A. By copying what other people do
B. By making mistakes and having them corrected
C. By listening to explanations from skilled people
D. By asking a great many questions
65. What does the writer think teachers should not do?
A. They give children correct answers
B. They point out children’s mistakes to them
C. They allow children to mark their own work
D. They encourage children to copy from one another
66. Exams, grades and marks should be got rid of because children’s progress should only be decided only by _____.
A. educated persons B. the children themselves
C. teachers D. parents
67. Why should children learn to judge their own work?
A. Because most children don’t like their teachers.
B. Because their parents ask them to do so.
C. Because they can learn much more things in this way.
D. None of the above.

The weather has much to do with our life. For one thing, our crops depend on it. They will suffer if it is too dry or too wet. So men have long hoped to find a way to get control of it. But their efforts have up to now produced little results.
Though it is true that no one can change the weather, nor can anybody completely control it. We have learned many things about it from experience and through study. We have found that certain signs appear when there is going to be any big change in the weather. If we read the signs correctly, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called “weather forecast”.
People in all countries have for many years studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasts. The following are some of their findings.
Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a sign of much water vapour, which shows that rain will probably come.
When distant sounds, such as the noise from far-off trains, are heard very clear, then wet and stormy weather is on the way.
If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that it will clear up and become fine. Such rainbows always come in the evening. However if a rainbow appears in the morning, then you may take it that rainy weather will come. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fair weather will probably continue.
And then many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather. Their joints(关节) or their old wounds ache, which always tells them it is going to rain.
Most of the above sayings have been made by people who have used their eyes and brains, and they have proved to be very useful in forecasting the weather.
68. The weather _____.
A. has nothing to do with our life
B. has something to do with our life
C. is connected with our life very closely
D. is difficult for us to forecast
69. _____ is called weather forecast.
A. to tell what the weather on the following day or two will be like
B. The way of telling what the weather was like
C. To tell what day it will be tomorrow
D. The way of telling when it is going to rain
70. If you see a rainbow in the morning during rainy weather _____.
A. this is a sign that it will be cloudy
B. this sign shows that it will clear up
C. it is going to rain
D. the raining weather will continue
71. How many findings about the weather forecast are introduced in this article?
A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six

It seems that beauty and women are twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lost their charm. So who dares to neglect (give little attention) dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?
But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their minds through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt” or “granny” can still maintain (continue) her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage, concern for others, etc.
In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real.
Reading and learning are the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are fertile soil which can feed the flower of one’s heart and looks.
72. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?
A. The Concept of Youth B. What Is Beauty
C. Beauty and Women D. What Is Fashion
73. The underlined word “besieged” may mean _____.
A. belonged to B. beside C. drew D. surrounded with
74. “So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth? means _____.
A. no one dares to notice that dressing up needs money
B. no one dares to fail to care for her appearance and youth with dressing up
C. everyone dares to notice that dressing up needs money
D. everyone does not dare to fail to care for her appearance and youth with dressing up
75. What’s the writer’s attitude of this passage?
A. He thinks that richness is beautiful.
B. It’s impossible to be old if you keep a young mind.
C. The richness of the mind is really beautiful.
D. An old lady can keep her beauty if she has rich knowledge.

Dear Sharon,
I’m sorry to hear that you are getting fatter. I suggest you go to the doctor for advice. Meanwhile, please do not eat too much ice cream, chocolate or hamburgers, because they contain a lot of fat. You’d better eat more fruit and vegetables, and do more exercise as well. If you keep on doing so, you’ll lose your weight sooner or later. Several days later, you’ll become a slender and pretty girl.
With best wishes!
Yours truly,
Jane
