Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the

Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money back. 
From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send ... ” and so on? Of course, it never happens 
 3 
quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is one’s mother language. And think how much practice 
that gets! Before the Second World War, people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the 
literature of the country. 
Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year, many millions of people start 
learning one. How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and records of tapes; some use radio or 
television programmes; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they use the 
language only 2 or 3 times a week, it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. A few 
people try to learn the language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the 
language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not 
necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly 
need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learned quickly or 
slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student’s work for him. 
Question 28: According to some advertisements, you ______. 
A. have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks. 
B. needn’t pay your money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks. 
C. must pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks. 
D. will be paid much money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks. 
Question 29: The best way to learn a foreign language is ______. 
A. to use machines and good books. B. to go to evening classes. 
C. to go to the country where the language is spoken. D. to do as the advertisements tell you to. 
Question 30: Now most people try to learn a foreign language in order to______. 
A. read the literature of the country B. read books and reports 
C. do their work better D. go to foreign countries 
Question 31: Learning a foreign language is a hard job ______. 
 A. only for scientists and doctors. B. only for the students at school. 
C. for those people at home. D. for most people. 
Questions 32: Which of the following sentences is NOT true? 
A. It is very difficult to learn a language, including the native language. 
B. Few people can afford to learn a foreign language in the country where it is spoken. 
C. To learn one’s mother tongue also needs a lot of practice. 
D. Machines and good books are useless for us to learn a foreign language. 
B. WRITING: (2,0 points)
