Passage two

One of the interesting things about Cuba is its educational system. As in many other countries, schools are free. What is unusual is that schools combine study with manual work. Each school has a plot of land where the children work for each day. They plant vegetables, which they weed and water, and later they harvest the crops. In this way they develop good working habits and learn how important it is to produce. Usually, children do not like vegetables such as spinach（菠菜）, green beans, or cabbage. But by growing vegetables themselves, Cuban children soon develop a taste for them. During the summer, older children also go to the country to help the farmers with the crops.

In this system, the children spend part of their school time studying and the rest working in the open air helping increase the nation’s production.

D．Most of the time studying and the rest playing in the open air.

68．What do children do for their manual work?

A．They plant vegetables.

B．They harvest the crops they grow.

C．They help the farmers with their crops.

Part III Cloze (20 points)

Most students want to communicate better in English. If this is one of your goals, it is 26 to study a balance of the four major skills. Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the main skills you need to communicate in any 27 . Being very good at only one of these skills will not help you to communicate. It helps to think of these communicative 28 in two groups.

First you have input. Next you have output. First you listen to someone ask you a question. Second you speak and give them your 29 . First you read a letter from someone. After that you write back to them. Input and output don’t 30 go in a special order. Sometimes you speak first and then you listen and sometimes you write about what you hear. During communication, the person you are communicating with 31 one of the opposite skills.

Some students want to know which skill is the most important. Since all of the skills rely on each other, 32 of them are important. However, to communicate we do use some skills more often than others. For example, about 40％ of the time that we 33 communicating we are simply listening. We speak for about 35％ of the time. About 16％ of communication 34 reading , and about 9％ from writing.

Each of these main skills have micro skills within them. For example, pronunciation is a type of speaking skill that must be 35 in order to improve communication. Spelling is a skill that makes understanding the written word easier. Grammar and vocabulary are other micro skills. Micro doesn’t mean they are unimportant.

26. A. strange B. regular C. important D. different

27. A. languageB. subjectC. conversationD. culture
