II Reading Comprehension

Directions: There are 4 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

“You do buy old books, don’t you?” asked Fred, putting his parcel down on the shop counter.

“I’ll have to see what you’ve got before I can answer that question,” the bookseller said. “Business isn’t so good as it used to be. People seem to prefer to buy new books nowadays.”

Fred opened his parc el and laid the books out on the counter. “I don’t pretend to know much about books,” he said. “I’ve had these for years and I haven’t even read them. My grandfather left them to me, as a matter of fact. But my wife never stops complaining about them. She says they make the house look dirty. So I thought I’d bring them in to show you, just in case there is anything of interest.”

In the meantime, the bookseller was picking up the books one by one and examining them. He shook his head.

“They’re not much good,” he said. “I can give you a few pounds for the lot if you want to get rid of them. I can’t offer you more, I’m afraid.”

When he saw the last book, however, his eyes lit up with excitement. “What is it ?” asked Fred. “Now this is worth something,” exclaimed the bookseller, turning over the pages. “It’s a very rare edition.” He handed the book to Fred, who looked at the title. It was a novel of the last century by an author whose name he had never heard of. Of all the books which he had gathered together to bring to the bookshop, this one had looked the least interesting.

“How much is it worth?” he asked the bookseller. “How much?” the man repeated. “I can’t tell you exactly. But not less than a hundred pounds, I should say. I’m only guessing. It may be worth a lot more.”

It was Fred’s turn to be excited. He thought of all the wonderful things he could buy with a hundred pounds.

1. The story takes place in .

Passage 2

As more women in the United States move up the professional ladder, more are finding it necessary to make business trips alone. Since this is new for many, some trips are certainly in order. If you are married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and probably they will enjoy the experience. If you will be eating alone a good deal, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your digestion. You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state that you will be eating alone. You will probably get better service and almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, anticipate your travel needs as a businesswoman; this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully packed. Take a folding case inside your suitcase; it will come in extremely handy for dirty clothes, as well as for business documents and papers

you no longer need on the trip. And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep currently required papers separate. Obviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier on yourself from the first by careful planning, so that right from the start you really can have a good trip!

Passage 3

When I was in 7th grade, I had a lot of trouble reading. My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn’t understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me, and then after each paragraph, she summarized what we just read.

In class, I tried to hide the fact that I couldn’t read. My teachers gave us the last 10 minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for the last ten minutes of class staring at the page, pretending I was reading it — I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get in trouble for not being able to comprehend. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University? By eighth grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was reading at an incredibly slow rate. In eighth grade, I got hold of all the speed reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed reading. Then I developed my own system which

was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.

I found that when you read slowly, word by word, you get lost in the words, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your concentration actually increases and your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the overall picture.

11. In her 7th grade the writer seemed to have difficulty ______.

A) reading with comprehension B) remembering school reading assignments

C) concentrating in class D) with vocabulary and grammar

12. The reason why the writer would spend the last 10 minutes of class pretending to be reading is

that ______.

A) the reading class was boring B) she had to do what others were doing

C) her teacher told her to do so D) she was afraid of being found out

13. The writer was able to improve her reading comprehension after ______.

A) her mother managed to help her out B) she entered Cornell University

C) she took a course on speed reading D) she developed her own way of reading

14. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the writer?

A) One’s comprehension drops if one reads too slowly.

B) To understand better, one has to read slowly.

C) One tends to neglect the detailed information if one reads slowly.

D) One’s concentration increases rather than decreases if one reads faster.

15. The main purpose of writing this passage is to ______.

A) tell a story of her school days

B) give a detailed description of different reading skills

C) illustrate the necessity of fast reading

D) tell the readers of the importance of higher education
