Part ⅡⅡⅡⅡ Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the centre. Passage one Much attention is presently being given to what is termed “functional illiteracy”. This should not be confused with the problem of illiteracy, that is, the inability to read and write. Current United Nations (CUN) figures indicate that 99 percent of all Americans are literate, the same figure assigned to nations such as Britain, Germany. Functional illiteracy, by contrast, is concerned with how much difficulty people have in actually using and writing skills in everyday situations. This might be interpreted, for example, as the relative ability to understand federal income tax forms, or printed instructions, or how well someone can write a letter of complaint, or apply in writing for a job. There are no agree upon definitions of what functional illiteracy is and, in practice, definitions vary widely. For many years, reading tests have been used throughout the country, which define reading ability by grade level. “Tenthgrade reading level” for instance, would be the average reading score of all pupils who have completed ten years of school. There are, of course, many different reading tests and types of tests. One definition of functional illiteracy holds that anyone is “illiterate” who reads at less than an eighth grade level. Another common definition uses a twelfth grade level (the last year of high school in the U.S.). There seems to be general agreement that at least one tenth of all Americans are functionally illiterate in English to some degree. It is also hardly surprising that those nations which (like the U.S.) have paid most attention to this concept, and which have nationwide testing, have found the greatest problems. As one educator humorously put it, “Reading tests cause illiteracy”. Canada, for example, which also has a large nonEnglishspeaking immigrant population, has recently found that many of her citizens, too, are functionally illiterate. The attention given to this problem, therefore, reflects the fact that in North America schools as well as pupils are continually tested. 16. What does “illiteracy” mean?
A. Ability to read and write.
B. Ability to appreciate literature.
C. Lack of interest in literature.
D. Inability to read and write.
17. Which of the following is most probably functionally illiterate?
A. One who reaches tenth grade reading level.
B. One who reaches eighth grade reading level.
C. One who reaches twelfth grade reading level.
D. Not known yet.
18. It can be learned from the passage that________ .
A. Canada and the U.S. have functionally illiterate population because they hardly paid any attention to the problem
B. functional illiteracy may have been caused at least in part by unsuccessful design of reading tests
C. nonEnglishspeaking immigrant population constitute the majority of all the functionally illiterate
D. it is impractical to determine what functional illiteracy really is as different situations set different requirements
19. It can be inferred that________ .
A. over one tenth of American population have difficulty in using and writing skills in everyday situations
B. in North America nationwide tests are given to test pupils’ functional literacy
C. Canadians are generally at a higher level of functional literacy than Americans are
D. teaching of English reading and writing has turned out to be a failure in Canada and the U.S.
20. This passage was written mainly to________ .
A. analyze different definitions of functional illiteracy
B. discuss the reasons for functional illiteracy
C. compare ways to get rid of illiteracy
D. introduce the problem of functional illiteracy
Passage two Some of the most attractive tourist destination can be bad for your health if you don’t know what the risks are and how to avoid them. Terrorism, war, riots, crime, corruption and the occasional volcano (like the ones currently erupting in Ecuador and on the Caribbean island of Montserrat) can quickly ruin a vacation, if not a life. The most extreme risks are so well known, and so rare, that tourists are unlikely to encounter them: kidnappings in Yemen, the beheadings in Serbia, etc. Long running civil wars have turned some interesting countries into no-go ones; Algeria’s underground conflict is so vicious that even hardened journalists don’t travel there. Although the risks are vastly lower in most of the world, vigilance—is still needed. Mexico, for example, is generally a safe place for tourists, despite some well publicized violence and corruption. Yet an unvigilant visitor strolling the streets late at night might fall victim to an express kidnapping, in which the victim is forced from one ATM machine to another before and after midnight, in order to get two days’ worth of maximum cash withdrawals. Fortunately, reliable information about travel risks is far more accessible than it used to be, partly because of the rise of the Internet. The State Department, which is sometimes accused of not keeping Americans adequately informed, now records 150,000 visits a day to its web site for travelers. The department offers consular “information sheets” containing routine security information on every country in the world. It issues “travel warnings” that urge Americans to avoid certain countries; currently 29 of those are in force, including such longstanding enemies of the United States as Iran, Iraq and Libya (but not CubA.. The department also issues “public announcements” on “significant” security risks in other nations; about a dozen if them are in effect. Some of the advice is surprising. A public announcement posted late last year warns of a possible “terrorist attack” against Americans in orderly Austria.
21. Which is not one of the risks facing tourists?
A. Volcanic eruption.

A. can ruin one’s vacation, if not life

23. Which should one avoid doing when traveling?
A. Keeping vigilant all the time.
B. Walking on the streets late at night.
C. Withdrawing cash on ATM machines.
D. Thinking about the occasional volcano.
