Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language u is communication, then mistakes are condary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of tho mistakes increas. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may obrve how native speakers express themlves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has b
een saying “ I do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by communicating with native speakers of English, obrve that native speakers actually say “I’ll do it “. This difference can rve as a basis for the student to change his way of using the prent ten in English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lo this opportunity to learn by trial and error.
1． According to the passage, the prent ten in English is( ).
A．not ud to express a desire to do something in the immediate future
B．ud with some verbs but NOT with others to express future intention
C．basically the same in English as it is in Spanish
D．not the most difficult problem for foreign students
正确答案：A
解析：细节题。文章中提到“a Spanish speaker who has been saying‘I do it’to expresswillingness to do something in the immediate future，”而英国人则用“I’ll do it”来表示将来想做某事。所以通过和native speaker的交流，就可以体会到英语中的一般现在时不用来表示“将来做某事的愿望”。因此只有A正确。
2． According to the passage, language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by( ).
A．asking native speakers for explanations
B．reading good books in the foreign language
C．comparing their speech with that of native speakers
D．speaking without regard to native speakers
正确答案：C
解析：细节题。文章中提到“The language learner may obrve how native speakers expr
ess themlves，and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them．”因此我们可以通过和native speaker的交流来发现自己语言中的错误。A、B、D都是错的。
3． According to the passage, foreign language students who do not communicate with native speakers will NOT( ).
A．learn very much about the foreign society
B．learn about the history of the foreign language
C．have to worry about making mistakes
D．take advantage of available language
正确答案：D
解析：细节题。首先，文章中并没有提到“学生如果不和native speaker交流的话．就没有机会了解国外的社会、语言的历史，以及用不着担心出错。”这样的内容，因此A、B、C都
是错误的。文章最后一句说“But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lo thisopportunity to learn by trial and error．”即：学习外语的学生如果不和native speaker进行交流的话，就不能充分利用现成的语言。只有D是正确的。
4． According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes becau( ).
A．native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their language
B．communication is the primary goal of language learning
C．native speakers will ignore their mistakes
D．everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange language
正确答案：B
解析：细节题。文章第二句说“If the primary goal of language u is communication，then mistakes are condary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awarene
ss of thomistakes increas．”因此如果交流是学习语言的主要目的的话，那么学生就用不着过分担心犯错误。所以只有B是正确的。
5． The author’s major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that( ).
A．mistakes are not important in the process of learning a language
B．learners are often very afraid of making mistakes
C．making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the language
D．native speakers often do not tell foreign language learners about their mistakes
正确答案：C
解析：逻辑推理题。文章的最后一句话的意思是“一个不愿意用语言交流的学生会失去在错误中学习的机会。”前面又列举了像西班牙人在和native speaker的交流中才发现一般现在时的使用不当。因此犯错误能帮助学习者发现语言的规律。
Though some people have suggested that women should return to houwork in order to leave more jobs for men, the idea has been rejected by both women and men in public opinion poll(民意测验). Lately some union officials have suggested that too many women are employed in type of work more suitable for men and that women should step aside to make way for unemployed young men. They argue that women — especially women in their childbearing years actually delay economic development and result in lower productivity, poor quality and inefficiency. To solve the problem, they have suggested that the working women stay at home while their husbands or brothers were given double wages. They argue that under the circumstances, families would retain their same level of income, and women could run the hou and rai children much better. The suggestion has been rejected by 9out of 10 people polled. A hundred persons in a big city were questioned last. summer. Out of 50 women, 46 said they were unwilling to leave their jobs, no matter what the situation was. The other 4 said they would like to return home if their jobs could be taken by their sons or daughters. Of 50 men polled, only 6 said they would like to e their wives give up their jobs, if it meant higher wages for them
lves. Some other people have suggested another way called “ phad employment theory”. The theory suggests that a woman worker take leave from her job when she is ven months pregnant(妊娠)and stay off the job until her baby reaches the age of 3. It suggests that women on leave receive 75 percent of their normal salary and be allowed to return to work after the 3-year period. This will benefit children, women, their families and the society. Some of tho polled, both women and men, felt the idea is a good one. It definitely ems to be more acceptable than the suggestion that women return to home forever.
