Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship
with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more
difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He
begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious
approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures
of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of
children in week and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff.
He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from
the first year what guidance and personal help is available - but whether the reality of life in the institution actually
encourages requests for help is another matter.
Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a
great number of people - often rather frightening looking people - and realises that an increasing number of choices
and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices
and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help
he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for
personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach
of pupils.
Question 26. According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary school is that______.
A. they are taught by many different teachers
B. they do not attend lessons in every subject
C. the teachers do not want to be friendly
D. the teachers give most attention to the more academic pupils
Question 27. The teachers at secondary school do not talk much to the pupils because_______.
A. they want to keep a certain distance with the pupils
B. the pupils are afraid of them
C. they are too busy with their academic work
D. it is the regulation of the school
Question 28. What will the school rightly expect the pupils to do?
A. they study hard B. they think carefully
C. they understand well D. they firstly obtain the help
Question 29. The word “adults” in the second paragraph refers to_______.
A. the pupils at secondary school B. the secondary pupils parents
C. the staff at secondary school D. the teachers and pupils at secondary school.
Question 30. In this passage about secondary schools, the author is mainly concerned about _______.
A. academic standards B. the role of specialist teachers
C. the training of the individual teachers D. the personal development of pupils

II. READING (2 pts.)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship
with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more
difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He
begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious
approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures
of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of
children in week and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff.
He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from
the first year what guidance and personal help is available - but whether the reality of life in the institution actually
encourages requests for help is another matter.
Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a
great number of people - often rather frightening looking people - and realises that an increasing number of choices
and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices
and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help
he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for
personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach
of pupils.
Question 11. According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary school is that______.
A. they are taught by many different teachers
B. they do not attend lessons in every subject
C. the teachers do not want to be friendly
D. the teachers give most attention to the more academic pupils
Question 12. The teachers at secondary school do not talk much to the pupils because_______.
A. they want to keep a certain distance with the pupils
B. the pupils are afraid of them
C. they are too busy with their academic work
 D. it is the regulation of the school
Question 13. What will the school rightly expect the pupils to do?
A. they study hard B. they think carefully
C. they understand well D. they firstly obtain the help
Question 14. The word “adults” in the second paragraph refers to_______.
A. the pupils at secondary school B. the secondary pupils parents
C. the staff at secondary school D. the teachers and pupils at secondary school.

A. academic standards B. the role of specialist teachers
C. the training of the individual teachers D. the personal development of pupils
