Reading Comprehension.（每小题 2 分，共 40 分）Passage 1Chinese wedding tea ceremony is a tradition that dates back to many centuries ago and is still widely practiced at modern Chinese weddings on the wedding day, either at home or at the banquet.It is an official ritual to introduce the newlyweds to each other’s family, and is also a way to show respect and appreciation (感谢) to their parents. Tea is likely served also because it is the national drink of China.When the tea itself is served, the newlyweds kneel in front of their parents, serving tea to both sides of parents, as well as elder close relatives. Parents give their words of blessing and gifts to the newlyweds. During tea presentation, a “good luck woman” would say lucky phrases to bless the newlyweds and the parents. This “good luck woman” should be someone who is blessed with a good marriage, healthy children and husband, and living parents.Newlyweds also present tea to each other, raising the tea cups high to show respect before presenting to each other.根据文章判断正误（正确的写T；错误的写F）( ) 1.

The Wall is 6,700 kilometers long from Shanhaiguan Pass in Hebei Province to Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu Province. The wall is about 7.8 meters high, and it is 6.5 meters wide at the base and 5.8 meters at the top. The Great Wall was first built during the Warring States Period (476-221B.C.) to prevent people in the north from attacking. Then the First Emperor of Qin ordered several hundred thousand workers to connect different sections of the wall. Today, tourists can visit eight sections of the Great Wall. Most of them were built in the Ming Dynasty. The best section of the Great Wall is located near Beijing.根据文章判断正误（正确的写T；错误的写F）( ) 6. The Great Wall has a history of over 2,000 years.( ) 7. The Great Wall is said to be the greatest wonder in the world.( ) 8. Shanhaiguan Pass is close to Jiayuguan Pass.( ) 9.

They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar, and learn to write in the new language much more quickly than other people. They do not seem to be any cleverer than others. What makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few techniques which make language learning easier for them.Firstly, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they’d rather discover their own way to learn the language than wait for the teacher to explain everything. They try to find the sentence patterns, the rules and the meaning of new words by themselves. They are good guessers. They look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes.Besides, successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language, they loo0k for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them whenever they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat, they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know every word’s meaning.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they have an interest in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.11. Successful language learners are independent, so they ____________.A. depend on the book or the teacherB. wait for the teacher to explain everythingC. learn from their mistakesD. discover their own way to learn languages12. According to the passage, what will successful language learners do when they meet newwords?A. Try to guess their meaning.B. Ask their teachersC. Look them up in the dictionary.D. Pay no attention to them.13. Successful language learning is active, so successful learners _____________.A. wait for a chance to use the languageB. look for a chance to use the languageC. only use the language in classD. try to avoid using the language14. Why do successful language learners want to learn the language?A. Because they want to find better jobs.B. Because they want to get good marks in exams.C. Because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it.D. Because they have a knack for learning languages.15. The purpose of the passage is to ____________.A. explain the importance of language learningB. introduce some useful techniques of language learningC. teach people how to learn EnglishD. compare language teaching with language learningPassage 4Colors are sometimes called hot, cold, or neutral（中性的）. Red and yellow are said to be hot colors because they make a room feel warmer and the walls nearer to us than they really are. We say that blue and green are cold because they give us the opposite feeling. A neutral color is one that does not seem to affect our feelings. Brown and grey are both neutral, and they may also be mixed with hot or cold colors to reduce their effect on our feelings.We can begin to see the importance of color selection. Although red might be perfect for a restaurant, it would be wrong for an art exhibition room, where we want to look at the paintings, not at the walls behind. Because of its effect on size, white could be used to make a small room seem larger, or dark blue to make a large one seem smaller.Another way that we sometimes speak of colors is to say that they are loud or quiet. Again we are talking about the feeling that colors give us. We use sound to express how much colors catch our attention.16. If a man wants to make a room warmer, which color will he choose for the walls?A. Green.B. Yellow.C. Black.D. Brown17. Which color can be used with blue to reduce its effect on our feelings?A. Yellow.B. Red.C. Grey.D. Green.18. According to the second paragraph, red is most suitable for _____________.A. restaurantsB. paintingsC. an exhibition roomD. the walls in a living room19. People would paint a small room into white because ____________.A. white makes a room brighterB. white makes a room prettierC. a room seems larger in whiteD. a room seems smaller it white20. “Loud” and “quiet” colors give people ____________.A. the cooler feelingsB. the opposite feelingsC. the warmer feelingsD. the similar feelingsIV.
