Reading Comprehension (2%15=30%) Read the passages and choose the best answer to each of the questions that follow. Write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Passage One I started to learn English when I was in elementary school. Together with my two friends, I had English classes with a private teacher. I lacked motivation and learned very little. This stage was insignificant and could just as well have not happened at all. I began to learn English in earnest when I went to high school. I was in the same class with Michal, but in different groups. I was in a group for students who were to learn English from scratch, and he was in a group for those who had already known some English. Very soon, my teacher noticed that my English was improving rapidly and he told me to join the group for the advanced learners. This was the worst thing that could have happened to me. My new teacher, who was Irish, didn’t speak Polish so I couldn’t understand her and I never knew what I was supposed to do. I was completely at a loss. My English didn’t improve at all. As a result, at the end of that year I was sent back to the group for beginners. My stay with the advanced group made me realize what kind of learning strategies I should use in the future. I discovered that I could not pick up a new language directly from foreigners. I started to learn hard again. I translated into Polish all new words that appeared in my course book. Before a test I would memorize dozens of words with their Polish equivalents. However, later I would never revise those words so I would soon forget most of them. I knew that I should improve my learning techniques and I decided to ask for help from those who had the best results in our class, that is Michal. That wasn’t easy because in the second grade, they seemed to look down on girls. So after a few attempts to approach them, I decided to give up. For two years I learned English using the method described above. My English was improving but I was still forgetting new words. Finally, in the fourth grade I got closer to Michal, who started to show me how to learn English more efficiently, which was a breakthrough in the whole process of my English learning. Michal encouraged me to read books in English with monolingual dictionaries. Several months later, I began to write e-mail messages in English. I have been using these techniques for four years, and in my opinion, I have achieved pretty good results. 11. Which of the author’s English learning experiences is NOT worthy of noticing? A.

You now have a far better idea of what you need from a job. Obviously, you don’t want just any job. Your ideal career may require additional training or experience, but you are starting to define goals and objectives, rather than just falling into whatever comes along. True, you may need income at the present time, but even if you consider your next job as just temporary, it should fit into a larger plan. It’s inefficient not to have a specific job target when you are looking for work. Consider the following situation. Two people are looking for work. The first says she is open to “anything that comes along” and applies for just about every job that appears in the want-ads, sending out dozens of resumes and cover letters each week. Even though she gets a lot of rejections, she also gets called in for quite a few interviews each week. Most, however, are for jobs that neither suit nor interest her. She ends each week thinking that she has accomplished a lot and is ready to follow the same pattern the next week. The second job seeker follows a different strategy. She targets three specific jobs that she wants to do. She researches which employers in her community can use people for those jobs and focuses her efforts on reaching those employers. She does not get called in for a lot of interviews, but she does have a few quality conversations with potential employers that led to two job offers. Working hard to ferret out every job lead is not always the best strategy. A better approach is to target the jobs that will bring you satisfaction and take advantage of your most significant skills and abilities. By focusing your efforts, you will make the best use of your time and, surprisingly, increase your chances of finding meaningful employment quickly. Once you have a clear job target it is possible to expend energy effectively in pursuit of that target. Without a target, a job search can become aimless and its results unsatisfying. You’ve already made lists of some jobs you might like. Now you will apply more of what you have learned about yourself and do some additional research. When you have completed the next activity, you will have a specific job target for now as well as some possible future jobs. 16. This passage is most probably taken from _____. A. a textbook for college students B. a manual about job-hunting C. a company document D. a speech given by an employment advisor 17. What should you do to make your job-hunting efficient? A. Make a fashionable hairstyle. B. Be dressed in well-suited clothes. C. Chat with an employment expert in advance. D. Have a specific job target. 18. Which of the following is NOT true? A. To have a specific job target is likely to make your job-hunting efficient. B. To send out dozens of resumes and cover letters can guarantee a success in job-hunting. C. To send out dozens of resumes and cover letters can bring you more job interviews. D. To target specific jobs and try to know more about the employers is the best strategy. 19. What does “anything that comes along” probably mean? A. Any difficulty that she may meet. B. Any question that she may be asked. C. Any job offer that she may have. D. Anyone that she may fall in love with. 20. The author makes a comparison between two kinds of job seekers to _____. A. attach importance to targeting specific jobs in job hunting B. show us people’s different ways of hunting for a job C. point out the inefficient practices in job hunting D. emphasize the importance of sending more resumes in job hunting Passage Three Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years), children are encouraged, but not forced, to “l(fā)eave the nest” and begin an independent life. After children leave home they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married. Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young adults meet their future spouses through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions, Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices. 　　In many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father’s business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy in his father’s workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family Coexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self–reliance and independence. 21. The writer discusses the marriage of young adults in order to show which of the following? A) They enjoy the freedom of choosing their spouses. B) They want to win the permission of their parents. C) They have a strong desire to become independent. D) They want to challenge the authority of their parents. 22. Most young adults in the U.S. get married for the sake of _______. A) love B) financial concern C) their parents D) family background 23. Based on the passage, it can be assumed that ________. A) American young adults are likely to follow the suit of their parents B) most American people never make major decisions for their children C) American young adults possess cultural values of independence D) once a young person steps into his twenties, he will leave his home permanently 24. A son is unwilling to work in his father’s business mainly because ________. A) he wishes to make full use of what he has learnt in school B) he wants to prove his independence C) he wishes to do the opposite of what his parents approve of D) he wants to show his love for his parents 25. The subject matter of this selection is ________. A) family values B) marriage arrangements C) the pursuit of a career D) decision making III.
