Part III Reading Comprehension (2x20)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .
Passage 1
A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.
61. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______. A. repeated without any change
B. treated as a joke D. set in the present
C. made some changes by the parent
62. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______. A. in a realistic setting
B. heard for the first time

C. repeated too often D. told in a different way
63. The advantage claimed(提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.
A. makes them less fearful B. develops their power of memory
C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs
64. The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _______. A. fairy stories are still being made up
B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales C. people try to modernize old fairy stories
D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays
65. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______. A. they are full of imagination
B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth C. they are not interesting
D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach
Passage 2
The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.
In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.
The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a
