PART IV. READING I. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct option marked A, B, C or D to answer the questions. Isn’t it amazing how much time we spend talking about food ? “ Have you ever eaten…?”“ What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly. 2 In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times a day. Australians drink large amount of beer and the French drink wine every day. The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horsemeat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep meat, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don’t like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy raw fish. So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always been eating, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits. 1. The writer thinks that ___________. A. people eat only what is normal to everybody B. people often change their feelings about food C. people have different opinions about food D. people like eating different foods as they travel from one country to another 2.

The text is mainly about ___________. A. people’s attitude to food B. the importance of meat C. strange dishes in the world D. food and life 4. The Japanese enjoy eating raw fish because ___________. A. it doesn’t smell A. it is special to them C. it is well boiled D. it is not good to have fish cooked 5. People everywhere think that ___________. A. we can spend few hours talking about food B. there is very little common sense in talking about food C. there is very little common sense in what we say about eating habits D. we should do much to change our eating habits II. Read the passage and fill in each blank with one suitable word. The United States has a new national park. It is Great Basin. It is the first national park in Nevada.

Write a passage (150-200 words) on the following topic: ‘Most teachers think that homework is necessary’. How far do you agree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience. Marking scheme The impression mark is based on the following scheme: 1. Content (10 points): a provision of all main ideas and details as appropriate. 2. Language (5 points): a variety of vocabulary and structures appropriate to the level of English language gifted upper-secondary school students. 3. Presentation (5 points): coherence, cohesion, and style appropriate to the level of English language gifted upper-secondary school students. 8 Suggested passage 1 There's much controversy about the necessity of daily homework for students. Some say homework is necessary since only practice makes perfect, while others disagree because they believe a student should have the freedom to study whatever in whatever forms just as he/she likes to. In my opinion, daily homework is necessary for students. Firstly, a teacher could assign homework as a guide for the students to study. To learn something, a student needs help of a teacher because he/she does not have an overall understanding of the knowledge he is going to study as the teacher. This means, at the beginning, a student could not well plan his/her study, just as a kid who is for the first time in a swimming pool could do nothing but play with water. In addition, a teacher could make a good study plan for him/her, so that he/she could learn efficiently. Secondly, sometimes, even when a student, especially a young one, has already understand what he/she should do in order to master some skill or knowledge, he/she is still unwilling to do this for the lack of motivation. Hey, don't tell me that you have never been lazy at all when you were young. Some homework could function as a task for the student to perform which is helpful to motivate him/her. Thirdly, homework is an important form of feedback for a teacher to understand the affectivity of his/her work. As I have mentioned before, a teacher makes a study plan for the students; but does it really work? Or does it work for all the students? It is not difficult to know this only if the teacher pays some attention to the homework of the students. Then he/she may be able to find if there's some problems in his/her teaching, and make corresponding adjustment of his/her teaching, either for all the students or for a single one. Without some feedback, it is impossible for the teacher to do this. A test is also a good form of feedback, but obviously one or two tests are not enough, and sometimes this kind of feedback just comes too late. However, this conclusion might be misleading that one may believe all forms of homework are necessary. Actually, only proper amount of homework in proper forms is acceptable; some homework may not only fail to help the students, but on contrary bore them, so much so that they may lose their innate interest to study. "Proper" homework, in my opinion, should vary in its forms; it might be some extensive reading, a paper, or even just a game, as well as other ordinary exercises. Moreover, it should leave enough freedom to the students so that they could do things they really like to do with self-motivation, rather than unwillingness. We should always remember that homework is something for us to guide the students, rather than drive them. Only if a teacher keep this in his/her mind, the homework could be of most help to the students. Suggested passage 2 "You must finish your assignment when coming back from school,” my mother always told me when I was a child. Therefore, I am used to doing my homework as my first thing at home. According to my habits and fondness I am unanimous with this statement that teacher assign homework everyday. Maybe others hate doing homework every day because they take it as a burden which will reduce their time for playing games. Here! Let me tell you why I advocate it. The main reason is that teachers assigning homework everyday really helps me go over my lessons I have had on class. Through my homework I can understand the knowledge by myself and get what the teacher said the most important things in order in my brain. I really liked playing and postponed homework to the next day. Woo! That realize an old saying "Bite more than you can chew”. Another reason is that completing homework everyday will help to raise habit that everyone need think in his/her own way independently. What teacher teaches us is just their understanding track 9 and what we gain on class is just others' experience. What I discussed above is just two points of many persuasive ones. To some extent, we may obey the rule "Always work and study makes Jack a dull boy". But if all these factors are contemplated the advantage of assigning homework everyday carry more weight than those of the opposite one. What I agree with is just personal idea. Maybe you can remember this word. “Going over what you've learned will give you more new knowledge." Suggested passage 3 Many teachers assign homework to students everyday, and they seldom doubt it. However, as far as I am concerned, it is not necessary. To begin with, not every teacher has classes everyday. For instance, a chemistry teacher may have no class on Monday. It makes students learn nothing new about chemistry that day. As a result, it becomes unnecessary for the chemistry teacher to assign homework. Because if the teacher still assigns homework, perhaps the students will not have enough time to review what they have learned that day, such as physics and biology. In addition, everyone must have his or her own leisure time. Students are not machines. They cannot work without any rest. Even if a machine works everyday, its efficiency will become lower and lower and refuse to work finally. So the teachers must let students have some spare time, when they can play games, have a picnic and do other things they like. It is good to children’s health. Last but not least, assigning homework everyday is not a scientific way of studying. Suppose you must do physics homework everyday. After several weeks, you will probably think physics is so boring that it no longer interests you. How could one learn physics well under such circumstance? I think the only way to solve this problem is not to assign physics homework everyday. So from what has been discussed, one can reach only this conclusion that daily homework is not necessary at all. Suggested passage 4 Most students in this world struggle daily with their homework. Many teachers believe that daily homework is the key to education and school success. I agree with this opinion. Here are my reasons. First, daily homework can reinforce the knowledge students learned at school. A student cannot concentrate every minute, and remember everything that a teacher taught in class. Daily homework is the best way for students to review what he learned during the day, and study on the problems that he do not understand, and prepare for the next day’s work. Second, daily homework is the bases of succeed in exams. This is especially true for those students who are not so bright, and the only way to succeed in school is doing homework each day. Whenever the homework flags the class behavior dips, the social behavior is muddled, and the grades take a nosedive. No matter what the ability of a student, daily homework is the key to students’ school success. Third, daily homework can help students develop good learning habits. Learning is not always an enjoyable experience and students always need to spend hard time on it. Daily homework can form a kind of habit of learning for students. Once a habit is formed, learning is not such a painful thing and a student can find it more and more interesting. Obviously this will greatly benefit to a student. In conclusion, daily homework is crucial to students’ success. Life requires us to keep learning in order to catch on with this fast pacing society.
