III. Reading Comprehension (40marks)
A
Everybody loves a bargain. One person's useless, ugly, or broken object can be another person's bargain. That is why so many Americans do not throw things away. They put them outside their houses. They put on a For Sale sign. And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale.
In some parts of the county, such a sale might be called a garage sale (旧货出售)or a moving sale. Whatever the name, the activity is the same. People sell things they no longer want. The sellers put a paid announcement(付费通告)in a local newspaper. It tells when and where the yard sale will take place. It lists some of the things to be sold. Early in the morning, all the things to be sold are carried out of the house. Then they sit all day in the sunlight-like tired guests at a party-waiting for someone to take them home.
Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale. Sometimes, there are more clothes than anything else. Cooking equipment is also popular. So are old toys, tools, books, tables and chairs. Then there are objects called white elephants. A white elephant is something you think is extremely ugly or useless, to someone else, however, it might be a thing of beauty and joy. Usually, the seller puts a price on each object at a yard sale. However, that price can almost always be negotiated(商谈).
Some people go to yard sales to find a special thing that they collect. Most people who go to yard sales, however, are not looking for anything special. They might buy an object simply because it costs so little. They enjoy negotiating over prices, even if they really do not need the object.
36."Bargain"may really mean ________ .
A. useless or ugly things
B. things of great value
C. things bought at a lower price than its real value
D. cutting the price greatly
37. Which of the following isn't necessary to have a yard sale
A. To put a paid announcement in the newspaper.
B. To put on a For Sale sign.
C. To have certain things old or no longer needed.
D. It must be in the yard.
38. Which of the following is NOT true
A. The price asked for the old objects isn't fixed.
B. Some people go to yard sales just for fun.
C. Yard sale attracts many people only because things are cheap.
D. A garage sale is the same as the yard sale.
39. A white elephant means____
A. A useful object
B. A useless object
C. A white elephant is something you think is extremely ugly or useless
D. A white elephant is something you think is extremely ugly or useless, however,to someon else,it might be a thing of beauty and joy.
B
People who argue that good teachers are born and cannot be made, or trained, usually base their view upon the teacher's personality. They think that with the right personality, training is not necessary; with the wrong personality, training is useless. It seems to me that this is a personal impression.
Obviously, a really weak personality is an unfavorable disqualification(不合格) for teaching. On the other hand, a teacher's personality that is too powerful may also be a disqualification, because of his or her tendency to rule the classroom situation. He or she may fail to develop personality and individuality(个性) in his or her own students.
However, this consideration of the teacher's personality, from the point of view of training him or her to teach in a college or university, does not seem to weaken the case for good teacher training. On the contrary, it may strengthen it if the training course includes effective psychological analysis of the classroom situation, and the interaction(合作,一起活动) between teachers' and students' personalities.
Then, we must keep in mind that students expect teachers to teach. They value clear statement of problems, and guidance in their solution. Personal qualities of kindness, sympathy and patience are secondary. Students value their teachers mainly for their intellectual abilities. Enquiries carried out in England and America over half a century have pointed to this conclusion.
40. The writer believes that ________ .
A. teacher training is not necessary for those who have the right personality
B. qualified teachers are born and cannot be made
C. training is always necessary for those who want to become good teachers
D. teacher training is only necessary for those who have not the right personality
41. Why might a strong personality be a weak point to a teacher
A. Because the teacher may give too much control in the classroom.
B. Because the teacher may give too little control in the classroom.
C. Because the teacher may pay too much attention to students' needs.
D. Because the teacher may easily get angry with the students.
42. A teacher-training course should include ________ .
A. personality analysis of different kinds of people
B. personality analysis of different kinds of students
C. analysis of classroom culture and communication
D. analysis of the differences between strong and weak personalities
43. The conclusion made by the writer is ________ .
A. teachers' knowledge and skills are the most important to their students
B. teachers' kindness and sympathy are the most valuable to their students
C. teachers' motivation and interests in teaching are the most important to their students
D. teachers' patience and strong personality are the most valuable to their students

Chinese retailers(零售商) could be fined up to 10,000 yuan ($1,428) for providing shoppers with free plastic shopping bags from June 1, the Ministry of Commerce(商务部) has announced.The maximum penalty(处罚上限), included in a new draft regulation(草案), was sharply down from 30,000 yuan previously reported by domestic media.
The draft stated the prices of plastic bags could be set by shop owners themselves, but they should not be below cost. Market places would be prohibited(禁止) from offering discounts or using other methods to sell consumers plastic shopping bags at prices lower than those stated on the price tags. Free bags, even under other guises, would be banned. Retailers would also have to list the number and prices of shopping bags separately on the sales documents given to consumers. Supermarkets and stores violating(违反) the rules could be fined up to 10,000 yuan, while those failing to clearly price bags could be fined up to 5,000 yuan. The regulation would not be applied to plastic packaging for the hygiene(卫生) and safety of products like fresh and cooked food, said the draft.
The ministry has published the document on its website and will be seeking public submissions(反馈意见) till April 14. The move followed a ban(禁止) in January on the manufacture, sale and use of ultra-thin plastic bags (超薄塑料袋)(defined as less than 0.025 mm thick) from June 1 as part of China's efforts to protect the environment and save energy.

Letter to Editor of TV Weekly
Dear Sir/Madam,
I read Alison Burnham’s review of when we were 12, and I do not agree with her. I thought the programme was wonderful — I found the old news pictures really interesting — they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.
The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket. I held out my hand with the money in it — one big coin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn’t catch the bus home — I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever I’ve been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I’m able to take control of the situation.
I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so-called “reality programmes”. I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Daniels
48. What is Chris Daniels’ purpose of writing this letter
A. To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows.
B. To entertain other readers with old news pictures.
C. To express his appreciation of the programme.
D. To have his story told on the programme.
49. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to .
A. describe how painful his early experience was
B. draw a direct response(回应) from Alison Burnham
C. show how the programme made him think
D. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson
50. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because .
A. he hadn’t got a return ticket B. he had lost his bus ticket
C. he didn’t like big crowds D. he missed the bus home
51. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus
A. He should have told the conductor then. B. He should have been well treated.
C. He regrets going to school alone. D. He wishes it hadn’t happened.
