VI. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解) (共50分)
A. Choose the best answer. (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案。) （12分）
A Special Bonus – English Short Stories for Beginners
Ideal for complete beginners or children learning English:
54 pages long
Fully illustrated (插图的)
Simple and easy
There are many English short stories for English learners, but not many of
them are suitable for complete beginners or children.
Complete beginners are those learners who have just learned the alphabet,
learned the basic simplified sounds of the letters and hardly have any vocabulary.
As mentioned before, it can be a real challenge to find stories and activities that are suitable for
students. Most stories at this stage are either too complex or simply not interesting. This is
especially true if they are beginners. Most stories have at least some of the following flaws:
too advanced, or too complicated (难懂的) for beginners
hard to understand
not really interesting
contain idioms and other advanced vocabulary structures
too long
These things are likely to reduce the student's motivation and make lessons less effective.
69. Really Learn English is .
A) a book B) a magazine C) a newspaper D) a website
70. The book English Short Stories for Complete beginners is pages long.
A) 34 B) 45 C) 54 D) 80
71. After reading, you’ll find the passage above is a (an) .
A) advertisement B) story C) book review D) speech
72. Ideal books for complete beginners should have the below except .
A) contain many idioms B) simple and easy C) not be too thick D) be fully
illustrated
73. The underlined word “flaws” in the text means “something ”.
A) helpful B) not good enough C) different D) educational74. The passage above is written to .
A) introduce a book B) tell how to read stories
C) make lessons more effective D) learn the alphabet
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.（选择最恰当的单词或短语,
完成短文。） （12分）
When you learn a language, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also
be very helpful. It is a very active 75 which has many advantages, including:
Learning Vocabulary in Context
You will usually encounter new words when you read. If there are too many new words for you,
then the level is too high and you should read something simpler. But if there are at most 5 new
words per page, you will learn this vocabulary easily. You may not even need to use a 76
because you can guess the meaning from the rest of the text (from the context).
A 77 for Writing
When you read, it gives you a good example for writing. Texts that you read show you
structures and expressions that you can use when you write.
Seeing "Correctly Structured" English
When people write, they usually use "correct" English with a proper grammatical structure.
This is not always true when people 78 . So, by reading you see and learn grammatical English
naturally.
Working at Your Own Speed
You can read as fast or as slowly as you like. You can read ten pages in 30 minutes, or take one
hour to explore just one page. It doesn't matter. The choice is 79 . You cannot easily do this
when speaking or listening. This is one of the big advantages of reading because different people
work at different speeds.
Personal Interest
If you choose something to read that you like, it can actually be interesting and enjoyable. For
example, if you like to read about football in your own language, why not read about football in
English? You will get information about football and improve your English 80 .
75. A) generation B) life C) person D) process
76. A) diary B) dictionary C) schoolbag D) workbook
77. A) Channel B) Method C) Model D) Talent
78. A) listen B) speak C) read D) draw79. A) yours B) his C) theirs D) mine
80. A) in a minute B) in a hurry C) at once D) at the same time
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words. (在短文的空格内填入适当的词,
使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词, 首字母已给。) ( 14分)
Schools are now running remote (远程) lessons for more than
90 per cent of NSW students because of the COVID-19（冠状病
毒）crisis, a situation likely to l 81 for months. The NSW
Department of Education says the lessons are designed to be done
without parents’ too much caring.
But parents are still under the pressure of trying to support
their children's learning, saying they have been given an i 82 task.
One parent said she spent the week working at her job, then the weekend catching up on all the
work her children had missed, doing housework at night. Another single mother wakes at 3 a.m. to
do her paid work so she can supervise (监督) her children d 83 the day.
"Do they understand that parents are fighting for our lives, our jobs, and our companies as
well?" another parent said. "I'm a working mum. If I don't do my job, I may l 84 it. I know
things had to be done in a hurry. But parents have been thrown in the deep end."
Yvette McDonald, from the inner west, has two young children at a public primary school,
which issues (发布) written lessons and requires typed, o 85 communication, such as being
present for roll call (点名) at the b 86 and end of each day. She has asked the NSW Department
of Education to relax those rules, saying they were difficult to carry out.
"Parents are already at breaking point and we haven't even gone into formal lockdown," she
said. "Many of us are managing crisis at work, but then on top of that we're schooling our children as
well. We feel as though we're failing, but we're not failing - we've been a 87 to do very difficult
things. We want to know what's essential and what's not."
D. Answer the questions. (根据以下内容回答问题。)（12分）
Half a year before graduation from college, my son began to seek a job. Due to the financial
crisis (危机), fewer companies would like to employ new staff. My son targeted a company that was
going to hire only one person while there were more than twenty people filling their resumes (简历).
After the interview, there would only be 3 who could enter the final round, which would later
decide one person to be employed. Everything seemed to go quite well and my son passed the first
round and entered the final round in a week.
On the day of the final interview, my son and other two candidates arrived at the interview place
on time, waiting for the test. Unexpectedly, the interview was unbelievably simple. The interviewer
only said to them, “All of you are very super. Please go home and wait for our notice. We will tellyou the result in 3 days. Good luck to all of you!” On the morning of the third day, my son received
a text from the company shortly after breakfast that he was not employed. We all felt very
disappointed.
In nightfall that day, my son suddenly told me excitedly on the phone, “Dad, I have been
employed!” Greatly surprised, I could not wait to ask him, “What’s the whole matter?” My son told
me that he received another text saying that he was employed. Actually, the first text sent to my son
was also part of the test in the interview. Three men received the same text this morning and only my
son’s reply was “Thank you.” while the others said “Goodbye.”.
Only then did I know that my son’s “hope” came in that way. That is, when you feel
disappointed, do not forget to say “Thank you.” to the one who disappoints you. Saying “Thank
you.” shows respect for others’ work and shows you are generous. Therefore, while under the same
condition, you will get the upper hand in terms of opportunities compared with others!
88. When did the author’s son begin to seek a job?
89. Would many companies like to employ new staff because of the financial crisis?
90. How many people applied for the job?
91. How did the author feel after being told the news in nightfall that day?
92. What’s the difference between the author’s son’s answer and the others’?
93. What do you think of the interview? What have you learnt from it?

堂的看法”为题，写一篇至少60个单词的短文。标点符号不占格。) （共20分）
