In Britain, a student who receives further full-time education after the age of eighteen, either at a university or at a teachers’ training college or at some other college giving training of a 36 type, can usually receive a grant from the public authorities to cover his expenses, or most of them, unless his parents have a large income. But the number of young people who can 37 universities is limited by the capacity of the universities, which is 38 than enough to take all the young people who have the basic qualifications for university admission. In practice, therefore, entry to the universities is competitive. But university degree courses are also 39 at polytechnics, and entry to the Open University is less restricted.

The academic year begins after the summer holidays and is divided into three “terms”, with the 40 between them formed by the Christmas and Easter holidays. The exact dates of the holidays vary from area to area, 41 in general about two weeks at Christmas and Easter, plus often a week or more at Whitsun, and six weeks in the summer, beginning rather late. Schools outside the state system decide on their own holiday 42 , generally taking a month off at Christmas and Easter and eight weeks in the summer. The three terms are not everywhere called by the same names; indeed 43 schools call the January-March period “the Spring Term”, others use “Spring Term” for the period April-July. Some call the January term “Winter Term” (which is logical), others call it “Easter Term”.

Day-schools mostly work Monday to Friday only, from about 9 44 to between 3 and 4 p.m. Lunch is provided and parents pay for it unless they prove to the authorities that they cannot well afford 45 .

III. Reading Comprehension

Passage 1

Many countries face a somewhat more serious economic problem in the form of an unfavorable trade balance with other nations. Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country’s imports exceeds that of its exports. For example, if a country buys $25 billion of products from other countries, yet sells only $10 billion of its own products overseas, its trade deficit（贸易逆差）is $15 billion. Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured goods.

One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of currency out of a country. In the case of an underdeveloped nation, this can cause many financial difficulties, including failure to meet debt payments and obstacles to creation of an industrial base. Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States, a large trade deficit is a reason for alarm. American products, made by well-paid workers in U.S. industries, cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia, where labor and material costs are much lower. Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on items produced by domestic industries.

46. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Some worldwide economic problems.
B. The cause and consequences of trade deficit.
C. Lack of resources in underdeveloped countries.
D. High labor and material costs in developed countries

47. According to the passage, a trade imbalance occurs when ________.
A. a country is facing serious financial problems
B. a country buys more from other countries than it sells overseas
C. the value of a country’s exports is greater than that of its imports
D. products imported are more expensive than those exported

48. Many underdeveloped countries have trade deficits because ________.
A. they failed to meet debt payments
B. they export most of their natural resources to other countries
C. they borrow too much money from other countries
D. they have to import most of their manufactured products

49. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible cause of a trade imbalance?
A. The flow of currency out of the country.
B. Low labor and material costs in Asian countries.
C. Lack of natural resources.
D. An undeveloped industrial base.

50. It can be inferred from this passage that American industries ________.
A. do not pay their workers sufficiently
B. are hurt by a trade imbalance
C. imported labor and material from abroad
D. are able to prevent a trade deficit

Passage 1

Television has opened windows in everybody’s life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.

　　Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.

　　Unfortunately, television’s influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the “television generations” are more violent than their parents and grandparents.

　　Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn’t do funny things like the people on children’s programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That’s the time it takes on the screen.

46. In the past, many young people ______.

　A. knew the effects of war

　B. went in for politics

　C. liked to save the wounded in wars

　D. were willing to be soldiers

47. Now with TV people can _____.

　A. discuss politics at an information center

　B. show more interest in politics

　C. make their own decisions on political affairs

　D. express their opinions freely

　A. are not reliable on the whole

　B. are useless to people

　C. are a good guide to adults

　D. are very harmful to the young

49. Which is NOT true according to the passage?

　A. People have become used to crimes now.

　B. With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly.

　C. People now like to read books with picture.

　D. The adults are less violent than the young.

50. From the passage, we can conclude that _____.

　A. children should keep away from TV

Passage 1

The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century world probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods.
The important change in women’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.

46. For women at the beginning of the twentieth century, the amount of time spent taking care of children ______A__.

A) was shorter than in previous centuries

B) was longer than in previous centuries

C) was considered to be surprisingly long

D) account for a great part of their lives

47. According to the passage, around the year 1900 most women married ____A____.

A) at about twenty-five

B) in their early fifties

C) as soon as possible after they were fifteen

D) at any age from fifteen to forty-five

48. When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth-century mother ___D_____.

A) would be healthy enough to take up paid employment

B) was usually expected to die fairly soon

C) would expect to work until she died

D) was unlikely to find a job even if she wanted one

49. One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she ____A____.

A) is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves

B) does not like children herself

C) need not worry about food for her children

D) can retire from family responsibilities when she reaches sixty

50. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to ___C_____.

A) stay at home after leaving school

B) marry men younger than themselves

C) start working again later in life

D) marry while still at school

In Britain, a student who receives further full-time education after the age of eighteen, either at a university or at a teachers’ training college or at some other college giving training of a 36 type, can usually receive a grant from the public authorities to cover his expenses, or most of them, unless his parents have a large income. But the number of young people who can 37 universities is limited by the capacity of the universities, which is 38 than enough to take all the young people who have the basic qualifications for university admission. In practice, therefore, entry to the universities is competitive. But university degree courses are also 39 at polytechnics, and entry to the Open University is less restricted.

The academic year begins after the summer holidays and is divided into three “terms”, with the 40 between them formed by the Christmas and Easter holidays. The exact dates of the holidays vary from area to area, 41 in general about two weeks at Christmas and Easter, plus often a week or more at Whitsun, and six weeks in the summer, beginning rather late. Schools outside the state system decide on their own holiday 42 , generally taking a month off at Christmas and Easter and eight weeks in the summer. The three terms are not everywhere called by the same names; indeed 43 schools call the January-March period “the Spring Term”, others use “Spring Term” for the period April-July. Some call the January term “Winter Term” (which is logical), others call it “Easter Term”.

Day-schools mostly work Monday to Friday only, from about 9 44 to between 3 and 4 p.m. Lunch is provided and parents pay for it unless they prove to the authorities that they cannot well afford 45 . All primary school children, including those in independent schools, were given milk free of charge until 1970 when the Government abolished this benefit.

Passage 1

On the fourth Thursday in November, Americans celebrate the feast of Thanksgiving. This feast is a time when the family comes together for a meal and gives thanks to God for the blessings they have received.

The meal will begin with a short prayer of thanksgiving to God for the blessings the family received. The father will also thank the family for coming together on this day.

III. Reading Comprehension

Passage 1

Many countries face a somewhat more serious economic problem in the form of an unfavorable trade balance with other nations. Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country’s imports exceeds that of its exports. For example, if a country buys $25 billion of products from other countries, yet sells only $10 billion of its own products overseas, its trade deficit（贸易逆差）is $15 billion. Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured goods.

One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of currency out of a country. In the case of an underdeveloped nation, this can cause many financial difficulties, including failure to meet debt payments and obstacles to creation of an industrial base. Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States, a large trade deficit is a reason for alarm. American products, made by well-paid workers in U.S. industries, cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia, where labor and material costs are much lower. Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on items produced by domestic industries.
