Last summer 1 went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer(扫盲志愿者)．the training I received，though excellent，did not tell me how it was to work with a real student，however。When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read，I realized the true importance of reading．

My first student Jane was a 44-year-old single mother of three．In the first lesson，I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn’t know which bus to take．When I told her 1 would get her a bus schedule。she told me it would not help because she could not read it．She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words，she could not write out a shopping list．Also，she could only recognize items by their labels．As a result，if the product had a different label，she would not recognize it as the product she wanted．As we worked together，learning how to read built Jane’s self-confidence，which encouraged her to continue in her studies．She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket．After this successful trip，she reported how serf-confident she felt．At the end of the program，she began helping her youngest son，Tony，a shy first grader，with his reading．She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories。When his eyes became wide wit}l excitement as she read．pride was written all over her face，and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off．As she described this experience．1 was proud of myself，too．I found that helping Jane to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before．

As a literacy volunteer．I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others．In fact，I may have learned more from the experience than Jane did．

19．What did the author do after the training program?

A．She worked in the supermarket．

B．She helped someone to learn how to read．

D．She went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer．

21．How did Jane use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?

B．She asked others to take her to the right place．

C．She managed to find the goods by familiar labels．

D．She knew where the goods were in the supermarket．

22．Which of the following statements is true about Jane?

A．She could do things she had not been able to do before．

B．She was able to read stories with the help of her son．

C．She decided to continue her studies in sch001．

D．She paid for her own lessons．

Questions 23 to 26 are based on the following passage．

American money can be quite confusing．The bills or paper money are all of the same color and size．One has to look carefully to he sure he is giving out a $1 bill and not a$10 bill，for example．Furthermore，new bills stick together easily，Be sure this does not happen to you．Coins are also confusing．This is partly because some of them have two names，partly because the size does not indicate the value．The ten．cent coin is smaller than the five—cent coin，for example．In addition，all coins are silver—colored except the penny(one cent)which is brown color or copper-colored．

One cent，or a penny，is the coin of smallest value，equal to 1／100 of a dollar．It is useful for some parking meters and some sales taxes but a penny does not buy very much! Five pennies are equal to one nickel．A coin of ten cents，the smallest in size of all the coins，is one of the most useful．It is used for pay-phones，buying newspapers from coin—operated machines，and some bus fares．the 25一cent coin，or quarter，is larger than the nickel but is easily mistaken for it．This is the normal tipping coin，also commonly used for paying bridge and road tolls．One has to keep considerable change on hand，especially in cities which require exact change for their buses．Sales taxes also require a lot of small coins，although stores will give change．Bus drivers，however，are often not allowed to give change in many cities．

Bills come in the following denominations(面额)：$1，$5，$10 and$20．They also come in$50 and$100 bills．but these are seen less often by most of us! Keep small-value bills with you．Taxi drivers and some store clerks will not change anything larger than a$5 bill; most big department stores will，however．

23．Why are American bills quite confusing?

A．Because they stick together easily．

B．Because they have the same figures．

C．Because they have more than one name．

D．Because they are of the same color and size．

24．The penny coin is_____．

A．copper-colored B．gold—colored C．iron—colored D．silver-colored 25．Which coin is the smallest in size?

A．A one—cent coin or a penny．B．A five—cent coin or a nickel．

C．A ten—cent coin．D．A twenty—five—cent coin or a quarter

26．How many denominations do we find in American bills according to the passage? A．three. B．Four．C．Five．D．Six．

Questions 27 to 3 1 are based on the following passage．

It is universally known that friendship is one of the ever—going themes in the literature of all languages．This is because human beings were born to need the warmth and respect from friends．Indeed，people，old and young，male and female，at work or at leisure，unsurprisingly

or unexpectedly，are meeting new people and making new friends every day．However，it is impossible for US to make friends with everybody．We have to choose true friends．Some of US like similar friends，while others different friends．Personally，I prefer both．It goes without saying that having similar friends has many advantages．We can feel a sense of strength when we have a group of old friends who share our suffering and happiness．Naturally，anybody with an ambition in life，either to become an artist or all engineer or a politician，will feel a special need to be surrounded by friends whose assistance and encouragement will add to his confidence．Moreover，old friends always know how to maintain trust．I am always delighted when I meet an old friend after a long departure．Immediately，hearty laughter fills the atmosphere．

However，I believe that a mixture of friends is equally advantageous．In the first place，frequent contact with different friends broadens my world outlook．For instance，during my stay abroad，I found it a real treasure to have foreign friends who often helped me strengthen my beliefs that I had made at home．Secondly．I find that different friends Can not only lead to new adventures and new career opportunities，but also show me new things in life，which would otherwise be impossible with merely similar friends．Thirdly，they can help me with whatever difficulties I meet with in life．They fire indeed my friends in need．

To conclude．I prefer to have both types of friends and as many as possible．Of coarse，I will not forget to choose friends wisely．

27．Why is friendship one of the ever-going topics for us?

A．We meet new people every day．

B．It is possible for US to make friends with everybody．

C．Human beings need the company of friends by nature．

D．Literature of all languages describe all kinds of friendship．

C．will provide a lot of help for his friends when they are in trouble

D．needs friends’help and encouragement to increase their confidence

29．With similar friends，it is not easy for you to____ ．

A．receive their assistance B．be exposed to new things

C．develop the trust to them D．share your suffering and happiness

30．According to the last paragraph，when we choose friends，we should be____ ．A．careful B．cheerful C．delighted D．confident

31．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Advantages of Having Similar and Different Friends．

B．How to choose friends in our Daily life．

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage．

A national survey showed that many of America’s public school teachers spend their own time expanding the knowledge and skins．Professional training is a way of life for many teachers．Some even go to summer schools to learn new skills and keep up with advances in technology．

The average teacher has 25 years of classroom experience and mole than half hold a master’s degree．Nearly 23 percent began full·time teaching within the past five years．This statistic should cause some concerns because it means a large number of teachers are reaching the retirement age．If this trend is not recognized，at some point this will result in an experience gap．With salaries based on fewer hours and no overtime，the complaints of the teachers become more understandable．Many outsiders feel that the long summer vacations justify lower pay scales，but in reality，many teachers spend a good part of their vocation honing their skills for the upcoming year．Facing a classroom unprepared is tougher on the teacher than on students．Even with all of these，three fifths of teachers(60 percent)said they would become teachers again．However，there were many who said they would not choose teaching as a career if they could start over again．

For the first time，the survey sought the reasons for teachers leaving the profession．The most often cited reason(37 percent)for abandoning their training and professional experience was low salaries．Minority teachers(50 percent)，male teachers(43 percent)，and teachers under 30(47 percent)were most likely to claim low pay as the reason they will not stay in teaching．32．What do we know about American public school teachers from the passage?

A．They either have a master’s degree or enough experience．

B．They spend time expanding their knowledge and skills．

C．They are asked to keep up with advanced technology．

D．They must go to summer school to learn new skills．

33．The concern caused by the statistic is that_____ ．

A．there is a danger for experience gap

B．23 percent of teachers lack experience

C．more than half of the teachers will retire soon

D．there are more experienced teachers than the inexperienced ones

C．Summer school for learning．D．The low salary．
