Passage 1

Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage.

There are some steps you can take yourself to avoid catching a cold.

Contrary to popular belief, colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather. Colds are caused by viruses harboured in the body, and you’re better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus in a snowy day than you are in a toasty warm room, surrounded by friends, co-workers, or fellow students, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill when you’re coming down with a cold, you’re already sick. A chill is an early symptom: It’s the cold that caused the chill, not the other way around.

While the virus can spread through droplets propelled into the air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes, surprisingly, this is not the most common route of transmission.

Numerous studies have now shown that the overwhelming majority of colds are “caught” by hand contact. A cold-sufferer rubs her nose, thereby transferring the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit. “Don’t kiss me,” she cautions, so the friend steps back and presses her hand. The friend then wipes her own nose or eye-and several days later is stricken with a cold. Or parents pick up their child’s abandoned tissues and carefully throw them away, but fail to wash their hands afterward.

Cold viruses also can be transferred to objects-telephones, towels, plates-and remain infectious for up to three hours.Frequent hand-washing-on the part of the cold-sufferer as well as other members of the household-will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.

11. Which of the following steps you take will most probably cause you to catch a cold?

A. To stay in a toasty warm room with a lot of people. 

B. To expose yourself to severe weather.

C. To be on the ski slopes.

D. To wait for the bus on a snowy day.

12. Which of the following is not true?

A. People usually believe that colds are caused by exposure to severe weather.

B. Viruses can only spread through air.

C. Colds are caused by viruses hidden in the body.

D. Most colds are “caught” by hand contact.

13. To prevent viruses from spreading, we should ____.

A. shake hands with our friends instead of kissing them 

B. never touch the telephones, towels or plates.

C. often wash our hands

D. often rub our noses and eyes

14. A man is most likely to be stricken with a cold if ____.

A. few viruses are harbored in his body

B. the infectious viruses have been exposed to the air for more than 3 hours

C. he visits his friend in a warm room.

D. he shakes the hand of a cold-sufferer

15. The best title for this passage might be ____.

A. Colds and Viruses

B. Ways to Avoid Colds

C. The Spread of Viruses

D. Hand Contact and Transmission of Viruses.

Passage 2

Questions 16-20are based on the following passage.

There are a couple of things to know about the use of humor in a speech. One thing is to distinguish healthy and unhealthy humor. Unhealthy humor usually has a victim. It is based on differences. Healthy humor is taken from our everyday experiences and is based on the things people have in common. Therefore it unites them.

Another thing is that when sharing humor with the audience a speaker has to take into account what part of the day it is. The “morning” audience can be tough, because everyone is just getting into work; the “l(fā)unch” audience is better, but the best time for sharing humor is dinner-time, because people relax after their working day and are more likely to feel the speaker.

There are certain rules that are strongly advised to be followed. The primary rule is not to offend anybody by a joke. The jokes are not supposed to relate to the audience but to the speaker himself. When a speaker shares his personal stories he will be better accepted by the audience. He can kid about his fame, problems, image, etc.

However, he does not have to belittle himself or sacrifice his reputation for a laugh. Besides, the jokes and humorous stories that are used by the speaker have to relate directly to the topic of his speech. The speaker is supposed to speak clearly and keep from laughing at his own story or joke while telling it, so that he can make it clear and to the point. Finally, once a joke is said it may not be repeated once more. So the speaker must not repeat a joke that fails or one that works.

And, remember these tips always work: personal jokes, short remarks that go well with the speech, good choice of vivid words and appropriate body gestures.

A. intended to enrich one’s experiences

B. linked to the things that people share

D. improve his image

A. the nature of an issue

B. the fame of a speaker

D. the subject of a speech

Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it needs 21 . A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without 22 . Educators call it “automaticity (自動性)”.

A child learns to read by sounding out the letters. With practice, he speaks with fewer and fewer pauses and 23 , reading by the phrase (短語). With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words, so he can 24 on the meaning of the text.

It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as 25 as the others, but also got better results in exams. “It is not his IQ, but the amount of time a child spends on 26 that is the key to automaticity”,

According to Rossman, Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, 27 or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. You can test your child by giving him a paragraph but appropriate to his age to 28 aloud. If he reads aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, he probably is an 29 reader. If he reads brokenly, one word at a time, without 30 or meaning, he needs more practice.

Japan is a small country with few natural resources. 31 this, Japanese productivity, the rate at which goods are produced, 32 more than eleven times in the past thirty years. Many people in the West wonder how the Japanese do it. The key 33 Japan’s success can be discovered by looking at some basic differences between Japanese and Western attitudes towards works.

People in the west generally view work 34 a necessary evil—one must give up part of one’s freedom to earn the money needed to live. To the Japanese, however, work is the central interest of one’s life; it’s 35 that a Japanese establishes his identity.
