Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. Question 1-5 are based on the following passage:Students Learn at Home in On-line SchoolOrlando, Florida-Is it hard for you to get up early and get ready for classes? Some students at Winter Park High School just quickly get up in their clothes for sleeping and go to class in their own bedrooms. Of course, their teachers and classmates do not see them because all their classwork is on the computer. The Florida high school, the states only on-line school, has 250 students who are taking classes at home by computer. “Im a lot more comfortable at home,” says Luke Levesque, a 16-year-old student who is taking a computer class on-line. He thinks the schools computer lab is so noisy that he cant study well. “Home is much better,” he says. Students in this first on-line program take classes in algebra, American government, chemistry, computer, economics, and Web-page design. They also have to go to ordinary school to attend other classes. When a student is ready to begin a class, he or she turns on the computer, reads the teachers instructions, and begins working on the lesson for the day. What happens if a student has a question for the teacher? Or the teacher wants to say something about the work student is doing? The students and the teacher talk to each other every day through e-mail or by telephone. For example, when Luke opened his daily e-mail from the teacher, it contained her instructions for the days computer lesson. When he finished, he sent his work back by e-mail to her for correcting. Is it easy for students to cheat on test when theyre working at home? The teachers have already thought about this. They make students take their final exam in person in the classroom. “You see most of the same things on-line that you see in an ordinary classroom,” says teacher Linda Hayes. “You get to know the students on-line. You know the child who tries his best to get what he wants to and the one who doesnt.” If this first on-line program goes well, in three years Florida high school students will be able to take all their classes by computer. When that happens, students will be able to get their high school diplomas without having to set foot in a classroom. 1 Winter Park High School is _. A the name of one of the on-line schools in FloridaB an ordinary Florida high schoolC in fact Luke Levesques own bedroomD the only on-line school in Florida2 Luke likes the classes he takes at home because _. A he felt more comfortable at homeB his school has not enough computersC he can learn what he likes to at homeD he doesnt need to face his teachers3 A student by computer can talk to each other and to the teacher _.A with computerB by e-mailing or telephoningC with telephoneD only through e-mail4 Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A Sometimes the students have to take their exams themselves in their classroom. B The students can learn all their subjects at home. C The students homes are quieter than their schools computer lab. D The teachers have already done something to stop students cheating on tests. 5 What can we learn from the last paragraph? A In three years, all the school students in Florida can take their lesson by computer. B All the Florida high school students can get their diplomas without going to their classroom. C The on-line school students can not take all their classes by computer at present. D No students will have to attend school. Question 6-10 are based on the following passage: People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or their historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for sunny beach to lie on. Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vocation. They all come for the same reason: sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italys 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadside. Spains long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain. But there are signs that the area is getting more tourists than it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these, however, is ruining anyones fun. Obviously, they dont go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They dont even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, its still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo. 6 The reason why Northern Europeans like travelling is that _. A they want to see historic remainsB they wish to escape from cold, dark and rainy daysC they would like to take pictures in front of famous placesD they are interested in different culture and social customs7 According to the passage, which of the following countries has more tourists? A Italy.B Greece. C France. D Spain. 8 The underlined part in Paragraph 3, “One tourist for each person living in Spain” means _. A 37 million people living in Spain are touristsB every Spanish person look after a touristC every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as the population in SpainD every family in Spain is visited by a tourist every year9 What do tourists like most? A Beaches. B Clean sea water. C Sun. D Cities in Spain.10 According to the passage, which of the following might make tourists unhappy? A Polluted water. B Crowded buses. C Rainy weather. D Traffic jams.
