Part II Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1
Have you ever noticed advertisements which say, “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send …” and so on. Of course it never happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets. Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country. Now speaking the foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people start learning one. How do they do it?
Some people try at home with books and records or tapes; some use radio or television programs; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like language learning at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help but they cannot do the student?s work for him.
36. What do the advertisements mean?
A. You will learn a lot on the first day.
B. Pronunciation is most important in language learning. C. Anyone can learn a foreign language without much money. D. It is possible to learn a language in less than 2 months. 37. After the Second World War many people ______.
A. found their mother tongue easy to learn B. learn to speak a foreign language
C. don?t learn to read in a foreign language D. only learn to read in a foreign language

38. Which, according to the writer, is the best place to learn a foreign language? A. Home. C. The country where the language is used. 39. The writer of the passage thinks that ______.
A. it?s difficult to learn a foreign language
B. Evening classes.
D. Places where people work.
B. it?s not necessary for many people to learn a foreign language C. it?s not important whether a language is learned quickly or slowly D. it?s much easier to learn a language today than in the past 40. According to the passage, which statement is true?
A. The mother tongue is easy to learn because it is an easy language.
B. It is necessary for many of us to go abroad to learn a foreign language.
C. Scientists and doctors want to speak an excellent foreign language, so they learn it. D. Though you have good machines and good books to help you learn a foreign language, you must work hard at it.

Passage 3
Vitamins are chemicals that are necessary to keep us alive. Each type of food contains at least one useful vitamin. For example, fresh fruit contains a lot of vitamin C.
Many years ago, people didn?t know about vitamins. When somebody was sick because of lack of vitamins, the doctors didn?t know what to do. For example, they didn?t know a child with rickets (软骨病) needed foods containing vitamin D, e.g. milk, eggs and oily fish.
Doctors found out about vitamins by accident. One day a girl aged 4 was ill. The doctors tried to cure her by taking blood from her body but this didn?t succeed. Other doctors put hot coals on her forehead and used other harmful methods. All these ?cures? failed. The girl became worse and worse.
One day the girl?s mother was peeling (削皮) apples in the kitchen. The girl came in and ate some of the peel. The next day, her condition was better. The mother thought about the peel and gave her some more. After some days, the girl was much better. The girl?s mother told doctors what had happened. They investigated the chemicals in apple-peel. The results were very interesting, so the doctors started to investigate other food. They discovered the girl had been ill with scurry (坏血病), caused by a lack of vitamin C. In previous centuries, this disease had killed thousands of sailors. When the doctors found out about vitamins, they advised people to eat a variety of different kinds of food.
Now, we know this advice is good. Each person needs to eat such things as rice, meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. Milk and butter are good, too. 46. which of the following statements is right?
A. None of food contains one useful vitamin. B. All of food doesn?t contain one useful vitamin.
C. There is no food which doesn?t contain any useful vitamin.
D. All food contains many useful vitamins.
47. Before the vitamins were discovered, if a child was sick with rickets, the doctors ______.
A. let him/her eat milk, eggs and oily fish B. let him/her take some medicine
C. let him/her drink much water and take a rest D. didn?t know what to do
48. The girl became worse and worse because ______.
