The reader has long been the victim of the EFL classroom. Teachers either ignore readers, or neglect and abuse them, failing to recognize their learning potential. The reason for this can no longer be laid at the door of the publishers. Nowadays, a vast range of material is produced suitable for all interests, age ranges, and ability levels. It is more probably the attitude of the teacher, and thus, the student, which is responsible. Are any of the following close to your own attitude, or familiar to you from conversations with colleagues Readers are an expensive luxury. The school cannot afford them. Other things must come first. We are trying to get through a fairly dense syllabus to equip our students, ultimately, for examinations; we cannot spare the time for frills (虚饰). Reading for pleasure is a private and personal thing. We cannot see how this can be used in the EFL classroom. We understand that extensive reading for pleasure can only improve language, but we have no way of checking that learning has taken place other than comprehension questions. These activities reduce the pleasure. The above are explanations, excuses, reasons and justifications from teachers talking about the scant use of readers in the classroom. Their comments illustrate three views prevalent at present. First, that teachers feel that time spared for readers will in some way deprive their students of certain key language skills and abilities. Second, those teachers are fostering or even pandering (迎合)to students’ reluctance to read for pleasure. Finally, those teachers are unaware of how to use and exploit readers in their classrooms and therefore provide a limited range of activities, which in turn limits the responses of their students. If teachers take readers into classroom with any one, or a combination of the above attitudes, this will be passed on to the students who will then also believe that readers are preventing them from doing something more important and are a waste of valuable learning time. They read only to enable them to answer a comprehension task. It is up to the teacher to convince the reluctant reader that reading, either extensive or intensive, is pleasurable. Only one of many ways of obtaining pleasure is to be able to answer the teachers’ comprehension check questions the following day. The world of reading will remain, and still be as inaccessible (达不到的) as ever to the student. It seems that a lot of teachers think______.

Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. In the 1960s, many young Americans were dissatisfied with American society. They wanted to end the Vietnam War and to make all of the people in the U.S. equal. Some of them decided to "dropout" of American society and form their own societies. They formed Utopia(乌托邦) communities, which they called "communes", where they could follow their philosophy of "do your own thing". A group of artists founded a commune in southern Colorado called "Drop City". Following the ideas, of philosopher and architect Buckminster Fuller, they built houses from pieces of old cars. Other groups, such as author Ken Kesey’s Merry’ Pranksters, the followers of San Francisco poet Steve Gaskin, and a group that called itself the Hog Farm, lived in old school houses and traveled around the United States. The Hog Farm became famous when they helped organize the Woodstock Rock Festival in 1969. Steve Gaskin’s followers tried to settle down on a farm in Tennessee, but they had to leave when some members of the group were attested for growing marijuana(大麻). However, not all communes believed in the philosophy of "do your own thing". Twin Oaks, a commune founded in Virginia in the late 1960s, was based on the ideas of psychologist B. F. Skinner. The people who lived at Twin Oaks were carefully controlled by Skinner’s "conditioning" techniques to do things that were good for the community. In 1972, Italian architect Paolo Soleri began to build Arcosanti, a Utopian city in Arizona, where 2,500 people will live closely together in one large building called an "archeology". Soleri believes that people must live closely together so that they will all become one. In Southern Colorado, a group of artists founded a commune called ______.

Questions 11 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
If the population of the earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to maintain life on the planet. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars. Even though scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar sys- tem are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan. Sagan believes that before the earth’s resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus. The difficulty is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there. Sagan suggests that algae(藻类) organisms(生物，有机体) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Space- ship will then’ fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere. In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) into oxygen and carbon. When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus. According to the Sagan’s opinion, which of the following statements is NOT true
