I. Read the passage, then decide whether the following statements are True or
False:
I’m in a favour of English- speaking contests in school. Such contests
encourage students to practise speaking English in their classes and help them
improve their speaking skills. Besides, while preparing themselves for the contest,
students have a chance to review their lesson thoroughly. Contests among classes
provide students with opportunities to work with team spirit, thus enabling them to
learn how to cooperate with other people. Some students may think that their
preparation for the speaking contests are time- consuming. However, in my
opinion, such preparations are worth spending time on. My classmates and I have
found that we speak English better after each contest. In sum, English-speaking
contests in school are useful to students.

lesson in classes.

II. Read the passage below carefully, and then choose the best answer:
A worldwide education survey released on December 8
th
, 1998, by the
United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) found that about 130 million children
between the ages of 6 and 11, including 73 million girls, go without basic

education. This shortfall has broad implications for those children’s welfare,
UNICEF argued.
The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 1989 Convention
on the rights of the Children established the right to education as a basic human
right. Nevertheless, more than 850 million people- about one-sixth of the world’s
population- will enter the 21

century unable to read or write, UNICEF said in its
annual State of the World’s Children Report. The illiteracy rate is highest in
