         "Good evening, everybody!" said the teacher, Donna. "Where is everybody?" That was sort of a daily
    joke by Donna. Usually the class started with only two or three students present, and then filled up as the
    minutes went by. It was summertime. Summer school was only eight weeks long. Class attendance was
    always smaller than during fall and spring semesters.
         "I don't know, teacher. Maybe they late or no come," said one student. "Maybe watching TV football
    tonight."
         "Is there a soccer game tonight? It seems like there's a soccer game every night. Oh, well. Let's get
    started, okay? We're on page 36 in the workbook. Tonight we're studying participles as adjectives. Students
    are always confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we will practice this a lot.
    Tonight, we're just going to practice the present participle.
         "The present participle tells us what emotion or feeling the subject is causing. For example, 'Grammar
    is boring' means that the subject-grammar-causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, 'The movie is
    interesting,' we are saying that the movie causes a feeling of interest. If we say, 'The roller coaster is exciting,'
    we are saying that the roller coaster causes a feeling of excitement. Any questions so far? Am I confusing
    you? Is everyone confused?"
         The classroom was quiet. Donna looked at blank faces. They were confused. She knew this would take
    a while. But eventually, the faster students would grasp it, and then they would help the slower students. By
    the end of the evening, most of the class would feel comfortable using the present participle.
         Donna erased the board and put some new examples on it. She loved guiding her students through difficult
    topics like this one. She always felt a little bit thrilled when the look of understanding came to their faces.
    1. What do you think the class is about?
    A. Going over homework.
    B. English grammar.
    C. Football.
    D. British culture.
    2. We can infer from the first paragraph that _____ in summer time.
    A. some students are often late for school
    B. some students often watch football games with the teacher
    C. more students often ask for leave
    D. more students often go to school
    3. The underlined work "blank" probably means _____.
    A. excited
    B. interested
    C. confused
    D. pleased
    4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. Donna was experienced in teaching English grammar.
    B. Donna made the students practice using the present participle.
    C. Donna didn't use any examples to help the students.
    D. Donna made herself understood at last.

         Dave needed to prepare for Saturday's fishing trip. He went into his hall closet, where he had more than
    20 rods and reels. Nowadays he went fishing twice a year at Big Bear, a huge lake in southern California
    about 7,000 feet up in the mountains.
         California tries to improve the fishing industry by sponsoring (发起) a Free Fishing Day twice a year,
    once in June and once in September. That's enough for Dave. He went mostly because it was a social event
    with a few friends, not so much to catch fish. Even driving up a twisty (弯弯曲曲的) two-lane road was
    worth the trip. Let alone the big, beautiful houses and trees that lined the shore of the lake.
         Preparing was a project in itself. Dace had even created a computer file named Fishing Trip. It was a
    checklist of 45 things to take to Big Bear. He took two rods, because on Free Fishing Day you were allowed
    to fish with two rods instead of the usual one rod. He took a sweatshirt, jeans, two pairs of socks, a heavy
    hooded jacket, winter gloves, and a scarf. He also took flip-flops, shorts, a T-shirt, sunglasses, a big hat,
    and lightweight raincoat. If you go to Big Bear in June, you'd better be prepared for hot or cold, rain or shine.
         He prepared a couple of magazines to read just in case the fish weren't biting. He and his friends joked
    that the fish were always biting-in the spot you just left or the spot you were headed for.
         After about an hour and a half; Dave had gathered all the items on his list into a neat pile next to his door.
    He went to bed knowing that tomorrow's weather and fishing were unpredictable, but the good time with
    his friends was a given.
    1. Dave went go Big Bear twice a year mainly to _____.
    A. fish
    B. meet his friends
    C. prepare for his fishing
    D. develop a project
    2. Why had Dave created a computer file named Fishing Trip?
    A. Because he was afraid he would forget the things needed.
    B. Because he would have so much fish to catch.
    C. Because the good time with his friends was uncertain.
    D. Because he wanted to buy some magazines on fishing.
    3. On Free Fishing Day, people going fishing could use _____.
    A. one fishing rod
    B. two fishing rods
    C. three fishing rods
    D. twenty fishing rods
    4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
    A. Saturday's Fishing Trip
    B. A Happy Fishing Day
    C. An Unforgettable Fishing Day
    D. Preparing For a Fishing Trip

         Members of Parliament (MPs) warned that the privacy (隐藏) of thousands of mobile phone users is in
    danger today because of Google's new tracking system. In a motion (提案), they also warned that the system
    offers live tracking of mobiles through a website and called on Google to examine the service.
         The Latitude system can find where a user is. This is then broadcasted live to Google's website. Once the
    service is activated, the position of a person's phone appears as a blue dot on a map on the screen of whoever
    is allowed to monitor (监控) them. The Latitude feature is being developed by Google as a "fun" way to "keep
    tabs on
    someone special". More than a million users around the world have already signed up to the service,
    Google claims.
         However, concerns have been raised about the system. MPs have written to Google demanding extra
    security (安全) safeguards on the service.
         Mr. Brake, one of the MPs who raised the motion, said,"In Britain, we have a tradition of fighting for our
    freedom. With this new system we face a threat to it. I demand MPs to support this motion and encourage the
    Government to take action to ensure that Latitude does not represent a threat to our privacy. or our freedom
    could be in danger."
         Google today insisted there was no threat to privacy.It said it was up to users to decide whether to make
    their location visible to other people and to decide who could monitor their position.The service was designed
    to help people keep in touch.
         However, human rights watchdog Privacy International analyzed the service and claimed it was open to
    abuse (滥用). Its report claimed employers could supply employees with phones already set up to use the
    service without their knowledge, or that users could simply sign up their partner's or child's mobile phone
    without telling them.
    1. MPs' reactions to the tracking system are the following EXCEPT that _____.
    A. they have raised a motion
    B. they have required Google to examine the service
    C. they hope that the Government will take some measures
    D. they are trying to get help from other countries
    2. The underlined part "keep tabs on" in paragraph 2 probably means _____.
    A. phone
    B. support
    C. test
    D. monitor
    3. Why have so many people signed up to use the new tracking system?
    A. They want to know each other's privacy.
    B. They think it is fun and can help them keep in touch.
    C. They can get it at a lower price.
    D. It's convenient to travel across the world.
    4. The Google's attitude to the new tracking system is _____.
    A. regretful
    B. polite
    C. doubtful
    D. positive

         Here is a passage about learning a foreign language.
         Outside of class, the most natural way of finding out if you are making mistakes is from other people's
    responses. If the mistakes are too serious, your listeners will be asking you all the time what you mean. If
    they are not so serious, then people may be asking you whether you said such and such. That will tell you
    how close you are to speaking "cogently".
         Of course, there are other times when it is important to have errors pointed out. Your class assignments
    (作业) are probably marked in this way, in which case you need to spend time going over them to take
    advantage of the individual feedback. In some classes the teacher gets better and better at grammar because
    she does all the corrections, but the students make slow progress if, when an assignment is returned, they
    quickly stuff it into their folders without looking.
         You are the person who should be connecting your error, even if the marker has signaled them, when
    you look at them; there are some steps to work through. One distinction that has been made about learners'
    language is this. You make mistakes about rules that you already know but you make errors about points
    you haven't learned yet. In other words, you can find your own mistakes, but not your errors. First, make
    sure you understand what you have written or said, or your correction will simply be another stab at the
    right answer. Next, decide on the best way of practicing the correct form. Would it help you to write out
    the sentence once more? Can you make up another similar sentence? Then you could test yourself in a few
    days time to see whether you have remembered the right form, anyone can get it right immediately after
    being told. He challenge is to remember it and apply it later.
    1. We can learn from the passage that _____ in learning a foreign language.
    A. making mistakes about rules can always be avoided
    B. speaking is the only way to correct mistakes
    C. getting and using responses is important
    D. errors can be easily corrected
    2. How can you know that you are making fewer mistakes when speaking a foreign language?
    A. By following the suggestions the writer put forward.
    B. By practicing the correct forms.
    C. From the teacher's getting better and better at grammar.
    D. From your listeners responses.
    3. The writer thinks some students make slow progress because _____.
    A. they understand what they have written or said
    B. they have remembered the right form
    C. they hardly pay attention to their marked assignments
    D. they decide on the best way of practicing the correct form
    4. Which of the following might be the most important to work through your mistakes?
    A. Keeping the right form in mind and using it later.
    B. Writing out the sentence once more.
    C. Learning your mistakes by heart.
    D. Correcting your mistakes and writing down the teacher's words.
