(阅读理解题) The other day I asked a group of my students how they like to learn English. The first person to speak up was Max. This was no surprise—unlike many Hong Kong students, Max has never been reluctant to speak. “I like to learn by speaking,” said Max. “I specially love to speak to native English speakers when I can find them. I try to talk to my friends in English, too. Um, what else? I like to watch TV and movies in English, and I like to learn new words by hearing them.” “How about you?” I asked Veronica. “Do you like to learn in these ways?” “Oh, no,” she said, “I could never learn like that. I need to have a textbook, and I like the teacher to explain everything to me. I have a notebook, and I write everything down. I like to study grammar, and I like to learn by reading. Max says he likes to learn new words by hearing them. I like to learn new words by seeing.” Veronica’s classmate Jackie was more similar to Max. She said she liked to learn by watching movies and videos. She also liked playing games, listening to cassettes, talking  in pairs and practicing English outside the classroom. The last person to give his opinion was Joseph.  Like Veronica, he liked to study grammar, although he didn’t feel the same need to have a teacher. He liked to learn independently to find his own mistakes, and to read books and newspapers. These four people correspond to four learner “types” that a former colleague of mine, Ken Willing, found in a study he did some years ago. Max can be classified as a “communicative” learner, Veronica as “authority-oriented”, Jackie as a “concrete” learner, and Joseph as an “analytical”one. (1).

Experienced riders who are not too large and fancy taking part in some of the festive season’s most famous race meetings could be in for an unexpected surprise. This year’s national hunt racing season could be overshadowed because the sport’s shortest athletes are facing a shortage of a different kind. The number of national hunt jockeys (职业赛马骑师) has fallen from 123 in 1995 to 70—but the number of meetings has increased. Now officials are issuing a plea to any keen riders to apply to the Jockey Club, racing’s governing body (理事会), for a license to take part in some of the country’s leading meetings. While meetings are unlikely to be abandoned, some races might only involve three horses. Racing officials fear that jockeys might not be able to get to all of the meetings in time, particularly on Boxing Day, when there will be nine, and on New Year’s Day, when there will be six. National hunt racing is open to professional and amateur (业余的) jockeys. Those who think they have the relevant credentials (证明书) need to have extensive riding experience, weigh under 10 stone (63 kg) and stand at around 5 ft 8 in (173cm). Once the Jockey Club has approved the license the riders are free to take part in any national hunt race and pit (使竞争) their wits against the likes of Tony McCoy. Racing officials believe that the shortage has cone about because Britons are getting bigger and there are fewer people who meet the sport’s height and weight requirements. A spokesman for the Jockey Club said: “There are fewer jockeys who are getting a greater number of rides but at least that means they are able to earn a good living.” He added: “We are keeping an eye on the situation. Any sport thrives on new blood and young talent coming through.” It is not a case of horse racing being less fashionable but being a jockey is a very demanding lifestyle, particularly in terms of truing to keep your weight down. People are now heavier and bigger and maybe some just find it too hard to be a jockey. (1). (单选题) What does the underlined word “overshadow” in paragraph 3 mean?(本题2.0分) A、 To make the racing field cool. B、 To face a shortage of horse racing athletes. C、 To make the national hunt racing less enjoyable by making people feel worried. D、 To be taller than the athletes. (2). (单选题) According to the passage, who may get a license from the Jockey Club?(本题2.0分) A、 Tony—168cm—61kg B、 Joe—178cm—63kg C、 Lee—169cm—64kg D、 Michael—172cm—62kg (3).

(4). (单选题) Which of the following statements is TRUE?(本题2.0分) A、 Horse racing is now not as fashionable as before. B、 The number of national hunt jockeys has fallen as well as the meetings. C、 The jockeys may not be able to get to all of the meetings in time because there may be many meetings at the same time. D、 It is necessary to have a license and pay a little money to take part in all of the country.s leading meetings. (5).

C、 The riders are expected to apply to the Jockey Club. D、 People should pay more attention to their weight so as to make it easier to be a jockey.
23. (阅读理解题) Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls. Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location. We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the Earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit, so there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days. Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power (核动力) and they can crash into each other. (1). (单选题) Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?(本题2.0分) A、 Sending information for weather forecasts. B、 Taking photographs of the Earth. C、 Sending TV pictures.

D、 111,000 kilometers per hour. (3). (单选题) What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 3 refer to?(本题2.0分) A、 A satellite. B、 A little rocket. C、 A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky. D、 The satellite puts the rockets in the right position. (4). (单选题) How would the very old and broken satellites be dealt with?(本题2.0分) A、 They will be repaired by astronauts. B、 They will be left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. C、 They will be brought back to Earth to be repaired. D、 They will be made to crash into each other. (5). (单选题) What’s the proper title for this passage?(本题2.0分) A、 The ABC about Satellites B、 Satellites Using Nuclear Power C、 The Speed of Satellites D、 How to Deal With Satellites When They are Old and Broken?
24. (阅读理解题) How do you acquire confidence? Speak English with friends first because with them you can speak freely without feeling shy. Then try your ability with your teachers and with foreigners if you have an opportunity to meet them. Don’t be afraid of mistakes. Nobody is above mistakes; and don’t be afraid to ask questions about things you don’t know. This is the way to acquire knowledge. Not until you begin to think in English rather than Chinese can you be said to know the language. This is not a superhuman achievement—only a question of practice. Thinking in English will help you to truly understand how the language is spoken. Read novels to build vocabulary, thus gaining confidence. Start with small volumes of 30 to 40 pages. Write down any new word you discover and look it up in your dictionary. Learn how to use the new word by making sentences with it. Bring the word to your teacher to have it explained more fully. Don’t be angry when you learn a new word today and forget it tomorrow. To forget is a natural process; to remember is unnatural and requires effort. Of 10 new words learnt in a day, only two or three will remain in the memory. The others you will forget and have to relearn. When learning them for the second time, they will come more easily, and this time you probably will remember nearly all of them. A small minority, however, may elude you again, and have to be learnt for a third time. Constant repetition is necessary. (1). (单选题) You can gain confidence by speaking English with the following people but ______?(本题2.0分) A、 foreigners B、 teachers C、 family members D、 friends (2). (单选题) When can you be said to know English?(本题2.0分) A、 When you have confidence with English. B、 When you have built vocabulary. C、 When you can think in English. D、 When you are not afraid to ask questions. (3). (单选题) We can build vocabulary in the following ways except ______.(本题2.0分) A、 reading novels B、 often speaking with foreigners C、 constant repetition of new words D、 looking up the new words in a dictionary, making sentences with them, etc. (4). (单选题) What are suggested to do if you always forget the new words?(本题2.0分) A、 To relearn constantly. B、 To practice more. C、 To read novels. D、 To be angry. (5). (单选题) What.s the best title for the passage?(本题2.0分) A、 Thinking in English B、 Learning New Words C、 Ways to Gain Confidence with English D、 Communicating in English
