Unlike some other European languages, English is a little tricky when it comes to writing. How a word 1. (pronounce) and how it is actually spelt can be very different things. Take two simple 2. (verb) like “have” and “save” --shouldn’t they be pronounced the same? Why do “sir” “her” and “fur” all rhyme, but “fork” and “work” don’t?

Imagine, then, a situation 3. two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way, but have 4. (complete) different meanings. Welcome to the world of homonyms（同形同音异）. 5. (take), for example, the word “fair” --it can be a kind of festival or an adjective to describe the color of your hair.

So how do you know which 6. (mean) someone is referring to? ---You don’t, except by the context. Obviously, if someone asks you to “give them a hand”, they don’t want you to remove 7.is at the end of your am.

Sometimes even the context doesn’t help much --- the result can be 8. (amuse). These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun.

I used to be a banker, 9. I lost interest.

A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital. When his grandmother phoned 10. (ask) how he was, the nurse said, “No change yet”.

They say that "seeing is believing", but when it comes to TV commercials, this is not always the case.

The world's leading mobile phone maker, Nokia, released its latest model Lumia 920 on Sept. 5. The smart phone was supposed to possess an advanced camera, which let customers shoot better pictures at night and record stabilized videos. To show how well these features work, the Finnish company released an ad showing a man and a woman riding bicycles side by side, with the man taking a video of the woman on the phone. However, several hours later, technology website The Verge uncovered that the video was neither shot with the new product, nor shot from someone riding a bicycle. Instead, someone in a lorry next to the woman took the video using a professional video camera.

The next day Nokia apologized, "In an effort to demonstrate the benefits of visual image stabilization, we produced a video that simulates（看起来像）what we will be able to deliver." Indeed, what we have seen in ads is more or less a simulation——a practice called "advertising photography".

McDonald's video in June explained the "art". It showed how its burgers get dolled up（装扮）before going on camera. Like models preparing for a magazine cover shoot, burgers also get designed in a photography studio. They are prepared for hours and put together with absolute precision so they look their best before photo shoots. Each ingredient, such as onions and sauce, is carefully put into place to make the burger look much juicier, bigger and tastier. Computer software Photoshop is also used to add visual effects.

So don't feel ____________________when you get a burger that never looks like what you see in ads.

1. What do the underlined words "the case" in Paragraph l refer to? （within 5 words）

2. For what purpose did Nokia create the video? （within 8 words）

3.Why did Nokia apologize based on the text? （within 10 words）

4.Why does the author give the example of McDonald's video in Paragraph 4? （within 10 words）

5.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words.（within 2 words）

When English as a foreign language is taught to children at the primary and early secondary levels of education, it is generally taught with a general education aim in mind--that is, it is regarded as a “good thing” for them to learn a foreign language as a part of a broad education. There is usually, however, no immediate and specific requirement for such children to make use of the language in any communicative situation. The purpose of learning the language is essentially a “deferred” (延缓的) purpose, deferred till the tertiary (第三的) level of education, normally at university, where, it is agreed, a knowledge of English would be helpful in their academic studies. Immediate aims of learning English are defined by the requirements of examinations. Inevitably what is taught to primary and secondary level children is not a communicative knowledge of English language use, but a knowledge of how the rules of English operate.

The language system is taught by means of systematic audio-lingual (听说的) drill and exercise techniques based on habit formation theory of learning and a structural description of English. This may be an effective manner of teaching English usage, but it is less certain that an understanding of how these rules are related to language in use for communicative purpose is an automatic result of this instruction.

What the thousands of children succeed in learning in this way is what is necessary in order to pass examinations. Whether such examinations accurately reflect the uses to which English will be put at the tertiary level is another matter altogether. Adults, on the other hand, unless they are learning a foreign language for “pleasure” at evening institutes, as a “cultural” and social experience, are generally highly conscious of the use to which they intend to put it. That use is frequently associated with an academic or professional requirement; without a knowledge of the foreign language, their development in their chosen sphere of work could be restricted or at least adversely affected.

1.According to the author, the current examination system ________.

A. reflects the students’ future needs

B. does not offer students opportunities to show their knowledge of English

3.We know from the passage that ________.

A. audio-lingual techniques are the best way to teach English for communication

B. language usage is the focus of foreign language teaching at primary and secondary levels

C. foreign languages are usually taught to children as the key of a broad education

D. adults usually don’t know why they learn foreign languages

4.What’s the relationship of English learning at different levels?

A. English learning at primary and secondary levels is more important than that at the college stage.

B. English learning at the tertiary level is more important than that at the first two levels.

C. Successful English learning at the first two levels does not necessarily mean success in English learning at college.

D. English learning should not be divided into different levels.

If we are to help students develop reading skills in a foreign language, it is important to understand what is involved in the reading process itself. If we have a clear idea of how “good readers” read, either in their own or a foreign language, this will enable us to decide whether particular reading techniques are likely to help learners or not.

In considering the reading process, it is important to distinguish between two quite separate activities: reading for meaning (or “silent reading”) and reading aloud. Reading for meaning is the activity we normally engage in when we read books, newspapers, road signs, etc.; it is what you are doing as you read this text. It involves looking at sentences and understanding the message they convey, in other words “making sense” of a written text. It doesn’t normally involve saying the words we read, not even silently inside our heads.

Reading aloud is a completely different activity; its purpose is not just to understand a text but to convey the information to someone else. It is not an activity we engage in very often outside the classroom; common examples are reading out parts of a newspaper article to a friend, or reading a notice to other people who can’t see it. Obviously, reading aloud involves looking at a text, understanding it and also saying it. Because our attention is divided between reading and speaking, it is a much more difficult activity than reading silently; we often stumble and make mistakes when reading aloud in our own language, and reading aloud in a foreign language is even more difficult.

When we read for meaning, we do not need to read every letter or every word, nor even every word in each sentence. This is because, if the text makes sense, we can guess much of what it says as we read it.

1.The passage is mainly about ____________.

A. reading skills　　　　 B. silent reading

C. reading processes　　 D. reading aloud

2.The underlined word “stumble” in Paragraph 3 means ____________.

A. step over something and fall

B. repeat something or pause for too long

C. walk with heavy movements

D. speak in a fluent and confident way

3. We can infer from the passage that the author will continue to ____________.

A. discuss in detail how to read aloud

B. introduce some more reading activities

C. tell how good readers read in their own language

D. explain why we needn’t say the words when reading for meaning

4.We can conclude that ____________.

A. reading silently is easier than reading aloud

B. to understand a sentence, you have to read all the words in it

C. silent reading involves looking at a text and saying the words silently to yourself

D. there’s no difference between reading in one’s own language and in a foreign one
