Part I Reading Comprehension (40﹪，40minutes)
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of
comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer by
blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During
this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while
sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your
muscles relax little by little. Your heart beast more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach
the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to another. Although your
mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when
dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move quickly (although your eye-lids are closed). This stage
of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply.
Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old
suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep. 1. A good title for this passage is ____. A. Sleep B. Good Health C. Dreams D. Work and Rest

Passage 2
For years, children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities to
see the beauties of the countryside. This was not because the woods and fields were always far away,
but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.
In 1970, a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs. He
decided to turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory or hostel for the summer holidays. Anyone who
brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of
money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the schoolhouse was much too small to hold the
many young people who wanted to stay there, As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castle
nearby. This was the first Youth Hostel.
Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know
each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their card of membership
in a hostel organization in their own country. This card will permit him to use the facilities of hostels
all over the world for very low prices.
Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or the
world will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner
with many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs,
or short talks followed by a question period. One can learn a lot of things about other places, just by
meeting people who come from those places. For this reason, a few weeks spent \
be just as useful a part of one's education as classes in school.
