ENGLISH PRACTICE 56
II. READING
1. Read the passage and answer the questions. Circle A, B, or C.
 The Moon is approximately 384,400 kilometers from the Earth. Its diameter is 3,479
kilometers, about 1/4 the diameter of Earth. The average temperature on the surface of
the Moon during the day is 107°C, hot enough to boil water on Earth. During the night,
the average temperature drops to −153°C.
Because of its smaller size and mass, the gravity of the Moon is about 1/6 the gravity on
the Earth. That means that a person who weighs 180 pounds on Earth would only weigh
30

pounds
if
measured
on
the
Moon.
The force of gravity from the Moon affects Earth. Its gravity reaches Earth and pulls the
oceans toward the Moon, causing the tides. The gravity from the Sun also affects the
tides. The highest tides will always occur when the Moon and Sun are aligned. That is
when there is a New Moon or a Full Moon.
1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. A comparison between the Moon and Earth
B. Physical characteristics of the Moon
C. The effect of the Moon on Earth
2. The word “its” in paragraph 2 refers to which of the following?
A. the Moon’s
B. Earth’s
C. gravity’s
3. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. A person would lose 5/6 of their weight if they were on the Moon.
B. A person would weigh much less on the Moon than on Earth.
C. The Earth weighs six times as much as the Moon.
4. What can we learn about the tides?
A. They happen twice a month at New Moon and Full Moon.
B. The Sun causes higher tides on Earth than the Moon does.
C. They are caused by both the Sun and the Moon.
5. The word “aligned” is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. combined together
B. arranged in a line
C. affected by the other

2. Read the passage about computers. Decide if the statements are true (T) or
false (F). Circle T or F.
Do you own a PDA – Personal Digital Assistant? Have you got a personal computer?
Have you ever used a laptop? The answer can be “Yes”. But do you know that the first
computer was made about 70 years ago? It was large enough to take up a living room.
It was named ENIAC – Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator.
Thanks to the development of technology, computers become smaller and smaller. The
first personal computer was actually introduced in the 1970s by MITS, Apple Computer
and IBM. They didn’t look exactly like now but they were surely revolutionary at the
time.


Scientists are finding ways to make computers as smaller and slimmer as possible.
Some of the today computers are small enough to carry out in pockets. But technology
doesn’t stop there. They will continue to bring out smaller computers. Who knows?
Maybe one day we will not need the big desktops or laptops. We may need a computer
chip that is as small as a fingernail.

How are you? I must write to tell you about the natural disaster I saw on TV this
morning. It was a huge tsunami in Japan two days ago. At first, there was a very strong
earthquake, and then the tsunami swept through the coastal areas of northern Japan.
It was so devastating. What used to be busy and lively cities now has become a vast
area of debris. Houses were totally destroyed, and pieces of furniture and means of
transport were scattered everywhere. Luckily, thanks to early warning, there was no
human loss. I felt terrible .I intend to donate some of my pocket money to help the

Japanese people.Would you like to join me?

VII.Read the following passage carefully and choose A,B,C,D ( 10 points )
The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American ideal
than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we
had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different
American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families
fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none
still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are
single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total,
consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually
divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal.
Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family other than the traditional one.
1/ With what topic is the passage mainly concerned ?
A. The traditional American family

b. The nuclear family.

C. The current American family

d. The ideal family.

2/ The author implies that ....................

A. there have always been a wide variety of family arrangements in the United States.
B. racial, ethnic, and religious groups have preserved the traditional family structure.
C. the ideal American family is the best structure.
D. fewer married couples are having children.
3/ The word "current" in line 5 could be replaced by which of the following ?
A. typical

B. present

C. perfect

D. traditional.

4/ According to the passage, married couples whose children have grown or who have no children represent.
A. 33 percent of households.

B. 20 percent of households.


C. 7 percent of households.

D. 3 percent of households.

5/ Who generally constitutes a one-person household ?
A. A single man in his twenties

B. An elderly man

C. A single woman in her late sixties

D. A divorced woman.

Benjamin Franklin
Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin.
He lived through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after
it began, and dying ten years before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies
grow from tiny settlements into a nation, and he also contributed much to the
development of the new state.
At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. He had already received some

training as a printer’s apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first
publication, the Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do government
printing work, which helped him to rise from his poor background to become a
successful entrepreneur. Some of his experience in business was shared in his famous
Poor Richard’s Almanak, which established his reputation throughout the American
colonies. In another of his works, the Autobiography, which was written toward the end
of his life, he shows the same quiet common sense.
He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with
electricity and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also
interested in improving the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number
of projects in his native Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, a university, a
philosophical society, and - because he was a pragmatic man - a fire prevention service.
In 1753 he became Postmaster-General of the colonies. Through this experience he
began to develop the idea that the colonies of North America should be a single nation.
Later, he went to London to try to persuade the British government to change the
conditions, especially the taxes, that later led the American colonists into rebellion.
Whatever Benjamin Franklin’s personal feelings about the rebellion of the
American states, he worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he
encouraged the French to help George Washington. After the war he attended the
American constitutional congress. This was his last contribution, for he died later that
year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the creators of the United
States.
