Passage Two
If our skin came with care labels in the same way that our clothing does, we could all simply follow the written instructions and always have flawless complexions. Unfortunately, taking care of our skin is a bit more complicated than that, especially given that everyone's skin is unique. One way to get on the right skin care path is to start by categorizing your skin as either oily or dry, and then planning a basic daily care proposal from there。
Here is a quick guide to caring for your skin based on your general skin type:
Oily: wash twice daily. People with oily skin should wash their faces at least twice a day. Certain cosmetics can be helpful in reducing the oil on the face。
Oily: moisturizer optional. Using a moisturizer is optional for oily skinned people, as the skin oil is a natural moisturizer。
Dry: wash less frequently. People with dry or sensitive skin should wash once or twice a day with a mild cleanser or soap. Certain cosmetics should be avoided。
Dry: moisturize regularly. Dry skinned individuals should always use moisturizer after washing their faces, as this will help replace moisture lost during washing。
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard。
29. Why does the speaker say that skin care is more complicated than clothing care?
30. For people with oily skin, what can be used to reduce the oil on the face?
31. For people with dry skin, when should they use a moisturizer?
Passage Three
Studies show what common sense tells us: the more kids read, the better they read and the more pleasure they get out of reading。
Unfortunately, the reverse holds true: children who read very little usually have poor reading skills. Reading is a struggle for them, and they avoid it whenever possible.
Is there anything that you can do to encourage your children to read? It's helpful to know your child's reasons for not liking or wanting to read. These reasons can help you decide what will work best in motivating your child to discover or rediscover how much fun reading can be。
These are the reasons children frequently give for not reading:
It's boring. Don't despair if your children have this response to reading that is assigned at school. You can expose them to another kind of reading that is related to their interests.
I don't have time. Kids are busy. School, friends, sports, homework, television, and chores all compete for their time. Some children need your help in rearranging their schedules to make time for reading。
It's too hard. For some children, reading is a slow, difficult process. If your child is having a hard time reading, talk with his or her reading teacher. Ask about how you can find interesting books and materials written at a level that matches your child’s reading ability。
It's no fun. For some children, especially those who have difficulty reading, books cause anxiety. Even for children with strong reading skills, pressure from schools and home that emphasize reading for performance can make reading seem like a chore.
Our advice: take the pressure off reading so that your child can enjoy it。
If you or someone else in your family has had problems reading, there is a greater likelihood your children will experience these difficulties, too. Speak to a reading teacher if you have reason to suspect a learning problem. Early testing administered at your child's school can identify a learning disability and alert the school to your child’s need for special teaching。
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard。
32. Which of the following is not one of the reasons why kids are busy?
33. What prevents kids from enjoying the fun of reading?
34. What can alert your child’s school to prepare special teaching of reading for your child?
35. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written。
If you're planning to travel overseas, the most common form of transportation is by airplane. Knowing the entire (36) procedure from purchasing plane tickets to coping with in-flight (37)emergencies can ensure that you have a pleasurable trip。
First of all, choosing an airline carrier might depend on a number of factors including the company's service record, price of the ticket, length of time to (38) destination, and even in-flight service。
Now, once you've purchased your ticket, you still need to make the long journey through the airport. Once you arrive, you usually check your bags at the main ticket counter. Then, you have to pass through the (39) security checkpoint, where you will have to walk through an X-ray machine, and they will check your carry-on bags for any (40) prohibited items, including firearms, (41) explosives, and knives. Of course, this is for everyone's safety. You might also be asked to open your bags to be (42) manually checked。
Once you pass through this checkpoint, then you will go to the (43)designated boarding area and gate to wait for your plane. Just wait there until they announce your flight。
Of course, once aboard the plane, (44) no one ever wants to experience any emergencies, but the plane is equipped with emergency exits in case you have to leave the plane. There are also life jackets under the seats, and oxygen masks in case (45) the plane's cabin unexpectedly loses pressure. Be sure to read the safety instruction card located in the pocket of the seat in front of you。
Airplane travel can be exciting, and (46) knowing what to expect before you go can make this experience even better。 |
