In learning a foreign language， one should first pay attention to speaking. It is the groundwork of reading and writing. Youd better try your best to speak. Dont be afraid of making mistakes. But be careful not to let them keep you from improving the language. While you are doing this， a good exercise is to write—keep a diary， write notes， letters or articles， then if you can， ask someone to go through what you have written and tell you where is wrong. Many mistakes in your speaking will be easily found when you write. Through correcting the mistakes， you can do better in learning a language.

If you are slow in speaking， dont worry. One of the helpful ways is reading， either aloud or to yourself. The important thing is to choose something interesting to read. It cant be too difficult for you. When you are reading in this way， dont stop to look up the words if you can guess their meanings or if they have nothing important to do with the sentence. You can do that some other time.

When thinking about placing a human being in space， one of the most important questions was how to design special clothing needed to protect a person from the dangers of the space environment. The cold of space will freeze skin in a short time. The fierce heat of the sun can cause severe burns. The lack of atmosphere can cause gases in the body to expand and even burst. With no oxygen to breathe， a human being will die in only a few moments. Radiation from the sun is another risk in space. So is damage from small pieces of rock and objects like meteoroids （隕石）.

In 1933， an American flyer， Wiley Post， designed one of the first successful devices to protect a pilot at extreme heights. It was a large device that looked like a can surrounded the pilots head. Astronauts in the American space agency （NASA） flew the first American space flights in the early 1960s. The clothing was similar to that invented by Wiley Post.

Today， astronauts wear very different protective clothing. It lets them move， do useful tasks， and stay outside their spacecraft in comfort and safety for several hours. The spacesuit is called the shuttle extravehicular mobility unit or EMU. It was designed to endure longer and to permit more movement than earlier spacesuits.

The EMU has a number of parts that an astronaut can link together by using only one hand， which makes it possible for each astronaut to select the parts that fit correctly.

Nowadays， NASA scientists are also considering the kind of spacesuits that would be needed for exploration on the planet Mars. Because of the gravity on Mars， spacesuits may have to be designed to be lighter than suits used in orbit or on the moon. The equipment may also have to protect astronauts from dust carried in the winds on Mars. And， they must be easy to repair and keep clean during a longer flight to and from the red planet.

39. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the dangers of space environment？

A. Lack of oxygen.

B. Fierce heat from the sun.

C. Gases in the body.

D. Radiation from the sun.

40. Which of the following statements is true， according to this passage？

A. Wiley Post designed the first protective clothing for astronauts.

B. Astronauts wearing earlier spacesuits had some difficulty in moving， doing useful tasks and so on.

C. EMU has many parts that can be linked together by using two hands.

D. Special spacesuits have been used for exploration of the planet Mars.

41. The underlined word “endure” means .

A. provide B. move

C. live D. last

The healthy adolescent boy or girl likes to do the real things in life， to do the things that matter. He would rather be a plumbers mate and do a real job that requires doing than learn about hydrostatics （流體靜力學(xué)） sitting at a desk， without understanding what practical use they are going to be. A girl would rather look after the baby than learn about child care. Logically we should learn about things before doing them and that is probably why the experts enforce this in our educational system. But it is not the natural way—nor， in my view， the best way. The adolescent wants to do things first for only then does he appreciate the problems involved and want to learn more about them.

They do these things better in primitive life， for there at puberty （青春期） the boy joins his father in making canoes， patching huts， going out fishing or hunting. He is serving his apprenticeship in the actual accomplishments of life. It is not surprising that anthropologists （人類學(xué)家） find that the adolescents of primitive communities do not suffer from the same neurotic （神經(jīng)質(zhì)的） “difficulties” as those of civilized life. This is not， as some assume， because they are permitted more sexual freedom， but because they are given more natural outlets for their native interests and powers and are allowed to grow up freely into a full life of responsibility in the community.

In the 19th century this was recognized in the apprenticeship system， which allowed the boy to go out with the master carpenter， or ploughman， to engage in the actual work of carpentry or roofmending， and so to learn his trade. In some agricultural colleges at the present time young men have to do a years work on a farm before their theoretical training at college. The great advantage of this system is that it lets the apprentice see the practical problems before he sets to work learning how to solve them， and he can therefore take a more intelligent interest in his theoretical work.

Since more knowledge of more things is now required in order to cope with the adult world， the period of growingup to independence takes much longer than it did in a more primitive community， and the responsibility for such education， which formerly was in the hands of the parents， is now necessarily undertaken by experts at school. But that should not make us lose sight of the basic principle， namely the need and the desire of the adolescent to engage responsibly in the real pursuits of life and then to learn how—to learn through responsibility， not to learn before responsibility.

42. According to the author， what is the natural way of education？

A. Doing things while learning.

B. Doing things as an apprentice.

C. Doing things before learning.

D. Learning practical knowledge first.

43. The main advantage of the natural way of education， whether in primitive or modern times， is that learners .

A. can learn the trade through solving problems at work

B. can work with their masters throughout their learning

C. are given more freedom in doing things and learning

D. are given opportunities to develop their interest first

44. According to the context， “this” in the third paragraph refers to .

A. the way of learning in primitive communities

B. the difficulties modern adolescents experience

C. the amount of freedom in learning in primitive life

D. the kind of skills boys learned from their father

45. Which of the following sums up the authors main point？

A. The apprenticeship system was effective in learning.

B. Students should be given more freedom in learning.

C. Students develop their interest through learning.

D. Learning to solve problems is learning through responsibility.

When the residents of Buenos Aires want to change the pesos they do not trust into the dollars they do， they go to an office that acts as a front for thriving illegal exchange market.

As the couriers carry their bundles of pesos around Buenos Aires， they pass grand buildings like the Teatro Colon， an opera house that opened in 1908， and the Retiro railway station， completed in 1915. In the 43 years leading up to 1914， GDP had grown at an annual rate of 6%， the fastest recorded in the world. In 1914 half of Buenos Airess population was foreignborn. Its income per head was 92% of the average of 16 rich economies.

It never got better than this. Its income per head is now 43% of those same 16 rich economies； it trails Chile and Uruguay in its own backyard.

The countrys dramatic decline has long puzzled economists. “If a guy has been hit 700，000 shots its hard to work out which one of them killed him，” says Rafael di Tella. But three deeplying explanations help to throw light on the countrys decline. Firstly， Argentina may have been rich 100 years ago but it was not modern. The second theory stresses the role of trade policy. Thirdly， when it needed to change， Argentina lacked the institutions to create successful policies.

Argentina was rich in 1914 because of commodities； its industrial base was only weakly developed. The landowners who made Argentina rich were not so bothered about educating it： cheap labor was what counted.

Without a good education system， Argentina struggled to create competitive industries. It had benefited from technology in its Belle Epoque period， but Argentina mainly consumed technology from abroad rather than inventing its own.

Argentina had become rich by making a triple bet on agriculture， open market and Britain， its biggest trading partner. If that bet turned sour， it would require a severe adjustment. The First World War delivered the initial blow to trade. Next came the Depression， which crushed the open trading system on which Argentina depended. Dependence on Britain， another country in decline， backfired （失?。?as Argentinas favored export market signed preferential deals with Commonwealth countries.

After the Second World War， when the rich world began its slow return to free trade with the negotiation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1947， Argentina had become a more closed economy. An institution to control foreign trade was created in 1946； the share of trade as a percentage of GDP continued to fall. High food prices meant big profits for farmers but empty stomachs for ordinary Argentines. Open borders increased farmers taking but sharpened competition from abroad for domestic industry. Heavy export taxes on crops allow the state to top up its decreasing foreignexchange reserves； limits on wheat exports create surpluses（過剩） that drive down local prices. But they also dissuade farmers from planting more land， enabling other countries to steal market shares.

46. Grand buildings are mentioned in the second paragraph to show .

A. Argentines were talented

B. Argentina was once a rich country

C. Argentines miss the past of Argentina

D. Argentina has a suitable infrastructure

47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？

B. Argentina was once attractive to immigrants.

C. Britain is playing a leading role in the development of Argentina.

D. Argentina is not serious about its agriculture and open markets.

48. The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph implies that .

A. the decline of Argentina welcomes an analysis from authorities

B. it is hard to explain the reasons for Argentinas decline

C. it takes time to explain the reasons for Argentinas decline

D. Argentina has declined for many reasons

49. Why did landowners ignore education？

A. They wanted bring in a bigger profit.

B. They hadnt realized the importance of education.

C. They wanted to keep farmers under control.

D. They put emphasis on economic development of the country.

50. What is the root of the problem of Argentinas trade policy？

A. Argentina depends heavily on foreign technology.

B. Many world events caused Argentina to break down.

C. Argentina failed in adjusting itself appropriately.

D. The conflicts between classes needed to be solved.

四、任務(wù)型閱讀（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分）

Chronic disorganization （慢性失序癥）occurs when one is habitually disorganized over a long period， which means the person is constantly unsystematic in how he conducts life and business. One suffering from this problem may find relief in the fact that it isnt actually a disease or even an “official” disorder. Its the continued lack of organization in ones life.

Someone may become addicted to collecting a certain thing yet never organize the collection as it grows out of control. This can especially be a problem for those with a lot of time and money at hand， yet the problem can be serious for any type of person in a wide variety of situation.

Ones personal attitude can often be a big part of why the chronic disorganization exists. Once the attitude of acceptance about being a “slob” is in someones head， its hard to remove. If someone tells himself that he is a slob， he will likely live up to that selfimage created by him or by those around him.

One first receives true awareness of the disorder of chronic disorganization when it starts to negatively affect relationships with friends and family members. Everybody becomes affected by this situation， especially those sharing living places with the one involved.

The National Study Group for Chronic Disorganization （HSGCD） recommends that one get help through a professional organizer. The study found that all of the subjects in the study had problems with making decisions. There were varied reasons given for this problem of decisionmaking. Among them were fears and prioritizing issues. Research is ongoing for the link between problems in decisionmaking and chronic disorganization.

Chronic disorganization often begins with situational disorganization， something most people experience at some point. Someone who has lost someone significant to him may start to be troubled by disorganization after a divorce. Someone who experienced changes in life and in his career may intend to let things like organization and order fall by the wayside. However， one doesnt instantly have chronic disorganization.

“If youre going through hell， keep going.” Thats an old saying thats true about ones struggles with chronic disorganization. Every person has the power to change within himself. Its a matter of staying organized， one day at a time. Those who have left chronic disorganization in the past have often done so by promising to stay organized simply for that single day.

51. ◆ It means that the person has a（n） 52. of being disorganized in life and business over a long period.

Recognizing the problem◆ One example is that an addict 53. to organize the collection.

◆ The 54. of chronic disorganization is partly affected by ones personal attitude.

◆ One doesnt realize the disorder of chronic disorganization until it has 55. effects on the relationships with friends and family members.

The 56. of the study◆ All subjects in the study suffer from the problem of poor decisionmaking， which is 57. with chronic disorganization.

Warning 58. ◆ Losing someone significant， 59. a divorce or changes in ones life and career.

Good news◆ When in struggle with chronic disorganization， every person has the 60. to change， at least one single day at a time.

Being a Popular Student

We all hope to be popular with our classmates and teachers. To enjoy popularity， we are supposed to regard the class as our big family and even offer to sacrifice our personal interests whenever necessary. While taking an active part in all our class activities， we should work responsibly to build up a good reputation as a team.

To be students with high popularity， we are to show respect， concern and sympathy for others. As a result， we never hesitate to lend a hand to those in need.

To be a popular student， we ought to be strict with ourselves in everything we do at school and make every effort to achieve allround development， being good not only at our lessons but also at sports， music， painting， social services and so on. In time of success we remain modest， while in time of difficulty we keep strongminded.

All in all， popularity among classmates and teachers comes naturally to those who keep improving their personal qualities.
