III. Reading Comprehension                       (20%)

Passage One

I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that if it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the county. But how realistic is the dream? Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population lives in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats.

 Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. Country has the advantages as well as disadvantages. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town.

What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off: the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses.

1.  We get the impression from the first paragraph that the author___.
    A. used to live in the country
    B. used to work in the city
    C. works in the city 
    D. lives in the country
2. In the author’s opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPT___.
    A. a strong sense of fear   

B. lack of communication

C. housing conditions   

D. a sense of isolation
3 .  The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following things in the country EXCEPT___
    A. daily necessities   

B. fresh fruits

C. designer clothes   

D. fresh vegetables
Passage Two

With Christmas Day around the corner, Hong Kong’s Provisional Regional Council announced that a Christmas tree decoration competition will be held on Sunday in conjunction with the ongoing Regional Council Festival. Members of the public are welcome to take part in the competition as families or small groups. Each team should be formed by at least three persons. A total of 99 Christmas trees of 1.5 meters in height will be available for the participating teams to decorate. Participants can bring along their own decoration materials and to use their imagination and creativity to achieve the best results.
    Each participating team can take home the Christmas tree it has decorated as a souvenir. In addition, there will be cash awards for the winners.

4.  Each participating team should at least have ___
A. two        B. three      C. four      D. five 

5.  Participants can bring along their ___ to the competition.
A. Christmas trees         B. Christmas presents

C. festival costumes        D. decoration materials

6. What kind of awards will be given to the winners?

A. cash    B. medal    C. souvenir    D. credit card

Passage Three

There is no doubt that adults, and even highly educated adults, vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading. Some proceed very slowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have to regress. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it. In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps re-reading them several times and pass more quickly over the remainder. A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material which requires special concentration at difficult points. In fact, considerable practice is required to practice this task efficiently and it can be done only be reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text.
7. The author claims that there is a difference in reading speed _____.
   A. among readers who have different experience.
   B. among adults, especially the highly educated.
   C. between the poorly educated and the highly educated.
   D. among the poorly educated people
8. A good reader is a reader who______ .
   A. concentrates on the wonderful part of the article
   B. always reads slowly and carefully
   C. changes his speed according to the kind of text
   D. changes his speed according to the interesting of the text.
9. The author says that when reading a novel, a good reader can quickly read _____.
   A. every part of the book
   B. the most wonderful part in the book.
   C. the major part in the book
   D. the scientific part of the book.
10. Which of the following can be the title of the passage?   A. Reading and listening
   B. Difference between highly-educated and poorly educated
   C. Practice reading skill
   D. Difference in the speed and efficiency of reading
