American movies create myths about college life in the United States. These stories are entertaining, but they are not true. You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand what college is really like. Thanks to the movies, many people believe that college students party and socialize more than they study. Movies almost never show students working hard in class or in the library. Instead, movies show them eating, talking, hanging out, or dancing to loud music at wild parties. While it is true that American students have the freedom to participate in activities, they also have academic responsibilities. In order to succeed, they have to attend classes and study hard. Another movie myth is that athletics is the only important extracurricular activity. In fact, there is a wide variety of nonacademic activities on campus such as special clubs, service organizations, art, and theater programs. This variety allows students to choose what interests them. Even more important, after 3
graduation, students’ résumés look better to employers if they list a few extracurricular activities. Most students in the movies can easily afford higher education. If only this were true! While it is true that some American college students are wealthy, most are from families with moderate incomes. Up to 80% of them get some type of financial aid. Students from middle and lowerincome families often work parttime throughout their college years. There is one thing that many college students have in common, but it is not something you will see in the movies. They have parents who think higher education is a priority, a necessary and important part of their children's lives. Movies about college life usually have characters that are extreme in some way: super athletic, super intelligent, super wealthy, super glamorous, etc. Movies use these stereotypes, along with other myths of romance and adventure because audiences like going to movies that include these elements. Of course, real college students are not like movie characters at all. So the next time you want a taste of the college experience, do not go to the movies. Look at some college websites or brochures instead. Take a walk around your local college campus. Visit a few classes. True, you may not be able to see the same people or exciting action you will see in the movies, but you can be sure that there are plenty of academic adventures going on all around you ! Question 36: The stories about college life in American movies are not ____. A. true B. interesting C. boring D. exciting Question 37: The phrase “academic responsibilities” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”. A. learning duties B. training skills C. caring professions D. teaching methods Question 38: Which of the following is NOT true? A. Learning is only part of students’ college life. B. There is a wide choice of extracurricular activities for college students. C. Extracurricular activities are of no importance to employers. D. Not all extracurricular activities are students’ academic responsibilities. Question 39: The word “they” in the third paragraph refers to ______. A. employers B. activities C. colleges D. résumés Question 40: The word “moderate” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”. A. not high B. unlimited C. not steady D. sensible Question 41: Many American students have to work parttime throughout their college years because ______. A. they are not allowed to work fulltime B. they want to gain experience C. their parents force them to D. they can earn money for their expenses Question 42: Which of the following could best serve as the title of the passage? A. Going to College: The Only Way to Succeed in Life B. Hollywood Movies: The Best About College Life C. Extracurricular Activities and Job Opportunities D. American College Life and the Movies Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50. The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear of hospitals and anaesthetics. Patients do not often believe they really need surgery cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs. In the early year of the 20th century, there was little specialization in surgery. A good surgeon was 4
capable of performing almost every operation that had been advised up to that time. Today the situation is different. Operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of fifty years ago. The heart can be safely opened and its valves repaired. Clogged blood vessels can be clean out, and broken ones mended and replaced. A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a comfortable and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation. The scope of surgery has increase remarkably in the past decades. Its safety has increased, too. Deaths from most operations are about 20% of what they were in 1910 and surgery has been extended in many directions, for example, to certain types of birth defects in new born babies, and at the other end of the scale, to lifesaving operation for the octogenarian. The hospital stay after surgery has been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations. Most patients are out of bed on the day after an operation and may be back at work in two or three weeks. One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants. Until a few decades ago, no person, except an identical twins, was able to accept into his body the tissues of another person without reacting against them and eventually killing them. Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of Xrays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for periods of a year or more. Kidneys have been successfully transplanted between nonidentical twins. Heart and lung transplants have also been reasonably successful. “Spare parts” surgery, the simple routine replacement of all wornout organs by new ones, is still a dream of the future but surgery is ready for such miracles. In the meantime, you can be happy if the doctors say to you: “Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition.” Question 43. Most people are afraid of being operated on _______. A. in spite of improvements in modern surgery B. because they think modern drugs are dangerous C. because they do not believe they need anesthetics D. unless it is an emergency operation Question 44. Surgeons in the early 20th century compared with modern ones _____ . A. had less to learn about surgery B. needed more knowledge C. were more trusted by their patients D. could perform every operation known today Question 45. A patient can still live a comfortable life even after the removal of _____. A. his brain B. a major organ such as the stomach or one lung C. his lungs D. part of the stomach or the whole liver Question 46. The word “clogged” is most likely to correspond to _____. A. clean B. blocked C. covered D. unwashed Question 47. Today, compared with 1910 _________. A. 20% fewer of all operation patients die B. 20% of all operation patients recover C. operation deaths have increased by 20% D. five times fewer patients die after being operated on Question 48. What is the similar meaning to the word “octogenarian ” ? 5
A. eighteenyearold B. person in his eighties C. person having eighth operation D. eye specialist Question 49. The main difficulty with organ transplants is _____. A. it is difficult to find organs of the same size B. only identical twins can give permission for their organs to be exchanged C. the body’s tendency to reject alien tissues D. the patient is not allowed to use drugs after them Question 50. You can be happy if your surgeon can operate because it means ______. A. he thinks your condition may be curable B. he is a good doctor C. he knows you will survive D. you are getting better already.

During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work at school. This is a normal development becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them. Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and future plan but should not push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol or smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual behavior which may be connected with these and get help if necessary. Question 36. This passage is taken from a ______. A. handbook for parents. B. school timetable C. teenage magazine. D. book for children Question 37. Why do adults sometimes find teenagers difficult to talk to ? A. Because most teenagers are quiet B. Because teenagers don’t want to talk to other people C. Because teenagers think adults are not honest D. Because most teenagers hate adults.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50. You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions. This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions. According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses – especially negative ones while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in people’s behavior. From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings. The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions. Question 43. According to the passage, we respond to others by _________. A. observing their looks B. watching their actions C. observing their emotional expressions D. looking at their faces Question 44. Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether __________. A. different cultures have similar emotional expressions. B. eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar. C. raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth. D. rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar. Question 45. The word “ evolved” in line 3 is closest in meaning to __________. A. reduced B. increased C. simplified D. developed Question 46. Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of ____________. A. lacked many main ingredients B. researchers on universal language C. researchers who can speak and understand many languages D. investigators on universal emotional expressions Question 47. The biggest difference lies in __________. A. how long negative emotions are displayed B. how intensive emotions are expressed C. how emotional responses are controlled D. how often positive emotions are shown 10
Question 48. Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _______. A. control their emotions B. display their emotions openly C. conceal their positive emotions D. change their behaviour Question 49. The phrase “ this evidence” in line 21 refers to _________. A. the fact that children are good at recognizing others’ emotions B. human facial expressions C. a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions D. the fact that children can control their feelings Question 50.

In the exploration of the linguistic life circle, it is apparent that it is much more difficult to learn a second language in adulthood than a first language in childhood. Most adults never completely master a foreign language, especially in phonology hence the foreign accent. Their development often 'fossilizes' into permanent error patterns that no teaching or correction can undo. Of course there are great individual differences, which depend on effort, attitudes, amount of exposure, quality of teaching, and plain talent, but there seems to be a cap for the best adults in the best circumstances. Many explanations have been advanced for children's superiority: they exploit the simplified, repetitive conversation between parents and children, make errors unselfconsciously, are more motivated to communicate, like to conform, are not set in their ways, and have no first language to, interfere. But some of these accounts are unlikely, based on what is known about how language acquisition works.: Recent evidence is calling these social and motivation explanations into doubt. Holding every other factor constant, a key factor stands out: sheer age. Systematic evidence comes from the psychologist Elissa Newport and her colleagues. They tested Korean and Chineseborn students at the University of Illinois who had spent at least ten years in the U.S. The immigrants were given a list of 276 simple English sentences, half of them containing some grammatical error. The immigrants who came to the U.S. between the ages of three an seven performed identically to Americanborn students. Those who arrived between the ages of 8 and 15 did worse the later they arrived, and those who arrived between 17 and 39 did the worst of all, and showed huge variability unrelated their age of arrival. Question 43: The passage mainly discusses______. A. adult differences in learning a foreign language B. children's ability to learn a language C. the age factor in learning languages fast D. Research into language acquisition 15

Marian Anderson’s brilliant singing career began at age six when she sang spirituals at the Union Baptist Church in her hometown of Philadelphia. She toured Europe in the 1920s, drawing vast acclaim. However, when she returned to the United States she was still barred from performing on the American operatic stage. After she was prevented from singing in Washington’s segregated Constitution Hall in 1939, Eleanor Roosevelt intervened and arranged for Miss Anderson to perform at the Lincoln Memorial.

Eventually, in 1955, she became the first African American singer to perform at New York’s Metropolitan Opera.
