Passage 1 Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this. Some are obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages much better than they do in their own languages is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce them, and consequently never set about speaking them in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught, the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lessons to this, and his whole attitude to the subject should make the students feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving their close attention.
1. Teaching pronunciation ______.
A.should always be taken into first consideration
B.can never be treated as a main course
C.may not be so important as someone thinks
D.is often neglected in teachers' practice

Passage 2 Passing by a supermarket, I was attracted by a long queue of people with big plastic bags full of kinds of goods they bought outside the gate. I came Up With curiosity to find out the puzzle. Handing in this purchase ticket to the girl in charge of the activity, the boy in the front of the queue received a box of chocolate with delicate package. It turned out to be a promotion activity, which would provide a box of chocolate to those who bought more than ten yuan worth of goods and paid one more yuan. It's really good, news especially for those who are keen on bargains. Once there was a promotion activity, they were usually easy to go into ecstasies (狂喜) and bought the goods on impulse, never having time to consider carefully whether they needed the goods desperately or not. I was not an exception. When I was determined to make a purchase, however, finding that there was only nine yuan with myself, I was forced to give up. Nowadays, more and more merchants use their brains to launch bewildering (迷惑人的) promotion activities to attract people's attention, which motivate their consumption. It's merchants who take advantage of people's psychology of taking advantage of petty benefits. From the point of the whole society, consumption stimulates production, which in turn brings up employment opportunities and strengthens the purchase capacity of the whole society. Once people have more money, they can afford and consume more goods. Consequently, the more goods are consumed, the greater incentive (鼓励) for the renewal cycle of products, which results in the progress of industrial technology and the elimination of economic depression. As for one who has little money at his disposal, he'd better consider carefully before making a purchase decision. Otherwise, he has to curtail(削减) his expenditure during the rest of the month.
1. Why was the boy given a box of chocolate?
A.Because he had a purchase ticket.

Passage 3 Someday in the future we may not have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people don't need to carry any coins for currency at all? is money heavy to carry? Is it safe to carry money?

Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards that we now have with money. Sometimes we lose money. Maybe we will lose cards. People steal money. Maybe someone will take the card. Someone may even make a card that looks like our card. Since we cannot buy anything without our cards, the credit card may be no better than currency. Is there something even easier to use than credit cards? All of us have a thumbprint. No two thumbprints are the same. Maybe someday the government will keep people's thumbprints with a number.

Passage 4 Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting. One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do. Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of "come here, sit," it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge. Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.

Part Ⅳ Translation Directions:You are required to read the following passage and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Remember to write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. Readers also use many other skills besides anticipating. 1 Rapid reading for example, is an important skill. It is especially important for students to learn to read quickly and with understanding. 2 There is another part of the skill of fast reading. It is choosing the right speed. 3 A person might want to read a newspaper fast. He or she is reading only for general imformation and can slow down anytime. However, the introduction to a textbook will need more attention and more careful reading. 4 Being able to change the reading speed is therefore, necessary. 5 Skimming, scanning(扫视), and surveying(检视) are all kinds of rapid reading. They have different purposes. Skimming and scanning are reading very fast while looking for a piece of imformation. For example, you might read for a particular name or a date in history lesson. Surveying, also fast reading, is reading to understand the structure of an article, how it is "built". 6 By surveying, readers know the order or sequence of parts.

Part Ⅴ Writing
1. 写一篇题为“Should Private Cars Be Encouraged in China?”的作文，要求分三段，100个单词左右，内容包括： (1)有人认为应鼓励中国私家车的发展； (2)有人认为私家车的普及造成了许多问题； (3)说明你的观点。
Should Private Cars Be Encouraged in China? Some people argue that private cars should be encouraged in China. They believe the private cars can offer comfortable and convenient means of transportation. And the owners will have much time available to perform other businesses. In addition, private cars will bring about a rapid development of automobile industry. In the meanwhile, the growth of automobile industry can trigger the boom of other important industries, such as energy and technological application. On the other hand, some people hold an opposite view on private cars. They say that more private cars will give rise to a series of social problems. First, more private cars will bring more serious environment pollution, and the waste gas will inevitably do harm to people's health. Second, too many cars will make the traffic jams and accidents anywhere, anytime, which will possibly be a threat to people's lives. Third, too many cars will unavoidably speed the energy consumption. In my opinion, private cars should be discouraged in our country. In order to leave clean air, wide and safe roads and abundant energy resources to our descendants, we have to say " No" to private cars. As far as the great demand for means of transport is concerned, we can develop mass transit to take the place of private cars.
