Passage 1

Today is an extraordinary day for me. When I boarded the plane to New York, I started my adventure to China. Next school year I will study as an exchange student in China.

My flight to China was the longest journey that I have ever had. I went to the Boston airport really early to catch the 8:32 AM flight. When I got onto the plane, I found it was a very small

I made the connecting flight in New plane. But the flight was only one hour so it wasn’t too bad.

York. I had to hurry since there was only one hour for me to make the connection. When I rushed

to the boarding gate, I was told that our flight was delayed due to poor weather conditions.

Fortunately, I had told my host family in advance to check the latest information of my flight. When I got on board the plane an hour later, everything turned out smooth and pleasant. The flight attendants were very friendly, the food served on the plane was tasty and my aisle seat was really comfortable.

After a 13-hour flight, I arrive in Beijing finally. Suddenly I saw so many Chinese people and heard so many people speaking Chinese. It was so exciting! Unfortunately I left my passport on

the airplane, so I had to go back to find it. Finally I met my host family at the airport. Mr. Han Dongping, the father, works as general manager of a company and his son, Xiaolin, is a college sophomore majoring in Computer Science. They were both kind and friendly. It was very nice of them to meet me at the airport.

As my first day in China, today marks the first step that I have taken to realize my dream. I know there would be hardships of living in China, but I am sure it is going to be a valuable experience of a lifetime.

Passage 2

Given the options we have all around us these days, why would anyone ever read a book? We

have movies to entertain us, video games to attract us, cell phones to distract us, and the latest

reality TV to give us something to talk about. With so many buttons to push and screens to stare at,

who has the time or patience to read a book?

Because reading makes you smarter! The following reasons will convince you.

First of all, reading can increase your vocabulary. Reading helps you to learn new words!

People who can speak clearly and effectively make good first impressions, whether meeting new

friends or in a job interview.

Reading can exercise your brain. The mind is a muscle. It needs exercise. Understanding the

written word is one way the mind grows in its ability. Compared to watching television where you

simply sit and take everything in, reading forces you to think, .

Reading can broaden your knowledge. Reading can open you up to all kinds of new ideas.

Your friends will be surprised when you can explain the in-depth details of the latest scientific

discovery.

Reading can also help reduce stress. What’s more relaxing than sitting outside and reading a novel on a lazy summer day? Our lives are packed with responsibilities from morning to night.

Taking a few minutes to slow down can do a great deal for your mental health. Reading is an

activity you can do at your own speed.

Last but not least, reading can develop your imagination. A good writer will paint a picture of

characters, settings and scenes, but they can only do so much for you. The rest is up to your

imagination. In TV and movies, everything is given to you, but with books you have to come up

with the details on your own. Reading encourages an active imagination, in adults as well as

children.

6. What do movies, video games, cell phones, and the latest reality TV have in common?

A. They are all expensive.

B. They are all entertaining.

C. They are all fashionable.

7. In what way can reading help people perform better in a job interview?

A. Reading makes people more easy-going.

B. Reading makes people more friendly.

C. Reading helps people speak clearly and effectively.

8. Why does the author of the passage compare the brain to a muscle?

A. Because both of them need exercise.

江苏开放大学大学英语（A）（专）形成性考核 1 第 5 页

B. Because both of them are part of the human body.

C. Because both of them make people smart.

9. Why does the author of the passage suggest “taking a few minutes to slow down”？

A. Because people run too fast today.

B. Because people have a lot of stress today.

C. Because people relax themselves too much.

10. In what way is reading better than TV or movies?

A. Developing imagination.

B. Developing confidence.

C. Developing good habits.

Passage 3

Little Tom down the street calls our dog “The keep dog”. Zip is a sheep dog. But when Tom

tries to say “Seep”, it comes out “keep”. And in a way Tom is right. Zip is always bringing

things home for us to keep! I’ll tell you about some of them.

It was made of green silk.

Zip’s first present was a shoe.

We didn’t know how Zip found the shoe. But after a moment Mary, my big sister, told me

the shoe had a strange smell. I nodded and held my nose. “What do you think it is?”

“It smells like something for cleaning. I think someone tried to clean a spot off the shoe.

Then he put it at the door to dry.”

“Along came Zip. And good-bye shoe!” I said.“We should take it back.”

“We can’t ”.said my sister.

“Maybe little Tom is right,” Mary said. “Maybe Zip is a keep dog!”
