IV.  Reading Comprehension (Choose the best answer for each of the questions or unfinished statements after the reading passages.)
Passage 1
Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called “One On One” helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is, tutoring in math and English.
You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.
Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors — he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service … and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge’s office this week. (220 words)

Passage 2
Oil is so important that it is sometimes called "black gold". Almost half of our energy comes from oil. We use it to run our cars and factories and to heat our homes, offices and schools. Many everyday things are made from oil. Your shirt may have oil in the material. The soap you wash your hands with might also be made from oil. Your favorite plastic toy is made from oil.
    Oil is hard to find, because it is trapped deep under the earth. Once the only way people knew there was oil someplace if it leaked out of the ground. Today, however, we have many ways of finding oil. One tool measures the pull of gravity. Places where gravity is weaker are more likely to have oil. Another tool is sound waves. Sound waves travel through different kinds of rocks at different speeds. We can use them to find the rocks that have oil in them.
    We need a lot of oil, and we are using up the oil wells we know about. Soon we must find new ways of looking for this "black gold".
26. From this passage, we can know oil is _______________.
  A. a kind of rocks                                                        B. a source of energy
  C. black gold                                                                D. black rocks
27. According to the passage, we can tell that ___________.
  A. oil is found in rocks                                                B. oil runs in rivers
  C. oil is found only under water                                        D. oil runs very fast
28. Which of the following isn't the way to help find oil?
  A. Sound waves travel through different kinds of rocks at different speeds.
  B. People measure the pull of gravity to know if there is oil.
  C. Sound waves tell us where the oil has leaked out of the ground.
  D. People know there is oil if it leaks out of the ground.
29. Which of the following does the passage lead you to believe?
  A. Oil was firstly found by measuring gravity.                B. Many things are made from oil.
  C. We will never run out of oil.                                       
D. Our lives would be very different if we didn't have oil.
30. The main idea of the whole story is that ___________.
  A. many things are made from oil                                B. we must find new ways of looking for oil

Passage 1
Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than what only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on-but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.
By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.
In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Noble Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.

Passage 2
If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parent may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember thing, they cannot write them down in a small notebook.

Passage 1
When I begin to look back on all friends whom I have had, I quickly came to the conclusion that Jerry was the most important and had the greatest effect upon my life. His family moved to my block when I was only 10. Jerry was 15 at the time, but the fact that he was so much older than me seemed to make no difference to him. I was very glad that he liked me. We took long walks together, on which he would tell me stories he had heard form TV and radio programs.
But as months went by, a change came into our friendship. Jerry almost stopped coming by the house, and every time I went to his house or telephoned, he put me off with some excuses such as "I'm studying now" or "I've got some jobs to do for Mum". When we passed on the street, he would still give me a warm smile and friendly wave with a "Hi, kid", but he would hardly ever stop to talk. Finally I realized that he was no longer interested in me and that his taste had changed. I noticed him with a girl once in a while and several times saw him going out in his family's car on a Friday or Saturday night. I simply couldn't understand what was so great about girls and parties.
    But I was hurt when he finally made me know that our friendship was at an end. Of course he didn't really mean to hurt me, but it was a long time before I realized that it was an age problem that caused the break. There were a world of differences between the ideas and interests of a 17-year-old and a 12-year-old. Now that I'm over sixteen myself, I realized this, and the hurt I got then has become happy memories of the good times we were once together. I wonder if millions of other boys and girls have had a similar experience.

A. 10 years old                                                        B. 5 years older than the writer
C. of the same age as the writer                                D. the writer's classmate
22. Their friendship lasted for ______.
A. a few years                        B. a few weeks                         C. a few months                D. a few hours
23. Jerry stopped playing with the writer because ______.
A. the writer had changed                                        B. he was busy with his study
C. he has some jobs to do                                        D. he was not interested in the writer
24. When a change came in their friendship, the writer ______.
A. accepted it at once
B. couldn't understand his friend for a long time

D. started going to parties with girls

Passage 2
One day in 1965, when I was a library worker at school, a teacher came to me. She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do. "Could you help me in the library?" she asked. I said, "Send him along."
Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. "Do you have a job for me?" he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, "Is it a kind of a detective (侦探) job?" I answered yes, and then began his work.
He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, "Time for rest!" he argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.
The next morning, he arrived early, "I want to finish these books," he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to work with me more often, it was easy for me to say yes.
After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy's home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to another school. Her son's first concern, she said, was leaving the library. "Who will find the lost books?" he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say goodbye. Though at the beginning he had seemed an ordinary boy, his strong feeling of interest had made him different.
    Do you know who he is? This boy became a great man of the Information Age: Bill Gates.
26. Why did the teacher go to the library to find a job for Bill Gates?
A. Because the teacher found the librarian quite busy.
B. Because Bill Gates wanted to find a job.
C. Because Bill Gates finished his study quickly and had more free time than the others.
D. Because the library needed a new worker.
27. What do you know from the passage?
A. Library work was very difficult for Bill Gates.
B. Bill Gates did his job without any difficulty.
C. The librarian was too busy to have a rest.
D. His mother hoped that Bill Gates would stay for his job.
28. The sentence "He picked up the idea immediately" means that ______.
A. he learned that system quickly                                        B. he collected that system quickly
C. he lifted up that system quickly                                        D. he improved that system quickly
29. What was Bill Gates expected to do in the library?
A. Finding the lost cards.
B. Learning the system.
C. Helping the worker with everything in the library.
D. Finding books with wrong cards.
30. How did Bill Gates feel when his family would move to another school area?
A. Sad.                                B. Pleasant.                        C. Worried.                        D. Interested.

IV. Reading Comprehension (Choose the best answer for each of the questions or unfinished statements after the reading passages.)
Passage 1
People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.
People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you.
    Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal (非语言的) communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out (突出)of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.

Passage 2
Down the entrance hall of the school walk four eighth-grade students. Each one is carrying a small basket with a single egg inside. Soon more students join them-each one of them is also carrying a basket with an egg. The eggs in a basket are part of a new school program that helps young people understand that having a baby is a great duty.
At the beginning of the program, the teacher puts the students in pairs-one girl and one boy. Each pair gets an egg, which they must take care of for two weeks. For those fourteen days, the students have to take care of the eggs as though they were real babies. Students whose eggs get broken have to start the two weeks all over again with a new egg.
One person in each pair must have the egg with him or her at all times-twenty-four hours a day. At no time can they let the egg be out of sight. "If a teacher catches you without your egg," said one student, "she makes you go get it. They are really strict." The teachers also make the students spend half an hour each day sitting with the egg and just watching it. That can get pretty boring. But it's also something that parents spend a lot of time doing.
    Children say that the program has helped them understand the duties involved in having a child. "It was really hard," said one student, "You had to think all the time about the egg."
26. The purpose of the program is to help students grasp the idea of ______.
A. carrying a basket with an egg                                        B. bringing up a baby
C. laying eggs                                                                        D. studying hard at school
27. At the beginning, ______.
A. only one student joined the program
B. four students in all were interested in the program
C. eight students became members of the program
D. more students than teachers liked the program
28. In the third line of Paragraph 2, "they" refers to ______.
A. teachers                        B. students                        C. eggs                        D. programs
29. Why should the students in the program spend half an hour each day sitting with an egg and just watching it?
A. Because it is very boring to have the egg with them at all times.
B. Because the teachers in this program are very strict.
C. Because only in this way can students understand parents in taking care of children.
D. Because if students do not do it, they will fail in the examination.

A. a program is the only way to educate children
B. one has to think about a program all the time
C. only one child grasps the purpose of the program
D. the program is of help to children's understanding of parents
