III.  Cloze (20 points)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET I.
When I was a boy, children always objected  51  wearing school uniform but teachers were  52  on it because they said all of us looked   53 . Otherwise, they said, children would compete with  54  and the poorer children would be unhappy because people would see how poor they were. In recent years, however, many schools have  55  the idea of making children wear uniform but funnily enough, now that children can wear  56  they like, they have adopted a uniform of their own. When some journalists visited a London school, they found that all the boys and girls were dressed in jeans (牛仔裤). One girl said she would rather die than wear a coat instead of a jersey (运动套衫) because  57  wants to look different  58  the other children in the class. Parents may not be as happy about this as children, but they  59  to be, because this new kind of uniform is one that the children like, not something they have been forced to wear, and it is also  60  cheaper than school uniform used to be.

IV.  Reading Comprehension (60 points)
    Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSER SHEET I.
Passage  One
    As you are students of English, it’s very possible that you’ll be interested in England. 
That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. 
This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I 
would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use 
the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these names means.
    If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands—one larger island off the 
northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British 
Isles (不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great 
Britain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰).
    Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the 
Word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?
    In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in 
These different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countries 
became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So 
the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.
    There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the 
Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is official name of the 
country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is 
an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, 
“Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern 
Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?
61. English was first spoken in         .
   A. Britain                       B. England
   C. Great Britain                  D. Ireland
62. Britain is divided into         .
   A. England, Britain, and Wales
   B. England, Scotland, and Wales
   C. Wales, Scotland, and Great Britain
   D. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland
63. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
   A. Wales is the richest of the three
   B. Scotland is the largest of the three
   C. Sometimes English is used instead of Britain
   D. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles
64. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is          .
   A. part of Britain 
   B. part of British Isles
   C. the official name of the whole country England
   D. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage
65. Which of the following is an independent country?
   A. Wales                                 B. Scotland
   C. Northern Ireland                         D. The Republic of Ireland
Passage  Two
Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we don’t like crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.
Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.
When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!” I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.

Passage  Three
Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence (真谛) of sport —the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for entire nation’s hopes, dreams and reputation.
A good example is the football Word Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina (阿根廷) to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.
Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their mone
