第二部分 閱讀理解（第一節(jié)共10小題，第二節(jié)5小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

第一節(jié)

A

The former President Bush had suggested increasing the study of foreign languages in American schools.

The new plan was called the National Security Language Initiative. It would involve the departments of State， Education and Defense， and the director of National Intelligence.

The plan called for teaching foreign languages to more children， as early as the age of four. It also aimed to increase foreign-language instruction in colleges and graduate schools. The hope was to bring more foreign-language speakers into government service.

And it called for expanding an effort to increase the number of military officers who spoke foreign languages.

Most of the new teaching would be in languages not widely taught in American schools. These include Arabic， Chinese， Farsi， Hindi and Russian.

Administration officials would ask for 114 million dollars to start the program. They said too many American children learned only English. They said only 44 percent of American high school students took any foreign language， and 70 percent of those were learning Spanish.

Officials said money would be used to help foreign-language students pay for their education in exchange for future service. The plan also called for sending more American students to other countries for part of their college studies. And it called for bringing more foreign language teaching assistants to the United States.

Officials said the United States did not have enough foreign-language teachers. Research showed that children had an easier time than adults in learning languages. Yet less than one-third of American elementary schools taught languages other than English. And experts said most of these schools just taught the basics， not how to speak a foreign language well.

President Bush said America needed intelligence officers who could understand languages like Arabic， Farsi or Urdu. But he said that was not the only reason for the program. He said it would also show that Americans care enough about other cultures to learn to speak their languages.

36. Which of the following was a purpose of the former President Bush’s to suggest increasing the study of foreign languages?

A. To teach foreign languages to more school children.

B. Not to learn about other cultures.

C. To increase the number of economic officers who spoke foreign languages.

D. To help foreign-language students pay for their education in exchange for future service.

Do you know about a series of books that say they are “for dummies”? These American self-help books have been translated into more than thirty-nine languages including Chinese， Arabic， Russian， French， German， Greek and Spanish.

“Dummy” is a word for a stupid person. The Dummies books are not really for stupid people. They are designed to show people how to do something they may never have tried before， like painting a house or learning a language. The books all say in a funny way that they are for dummies， such as World History for Dummies， Rabbits for Dummies， Chinese Cooking for Dummies， and Wedding Planning for Dummies. The first such book， DOS for Dummies， was published in 1991. It helped people learn how to use the DOS operating system of computers’. Since then， more than one hundred fifty million Dummies books have been sold.

The dummies.com website explains the ideas behind the books. It says that they show that people can be taught to do anything. First they can make fun of ideas that are difficult to understand. Then they show how the information can be interesting and easy. The publishers say that the books do not provide more information than necessary. They give readers just enough information to do what they want. They say that the Dummies books give the best and easiest way to do something. And the books use the simple and easy language.

There are more than one thousand different Dummies books. A report in The New York Times says that the top-selling Dummies books are those explaining technology and personal finance.

The publishers say that the best-selling Dummies books are those providing information many people need—like information about diseases， education and cooking. People interested in opera（歌?。?， car repairing and wine can also find dummies books to help them. And there are even more Dummies books to come. The publishers say that they publish about two hundred new Dummies books every year.

A Completely Different Camel. The New York Times announced today that the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company is introducing a new variety of Camel cigarettes designed for female smokers. The new Camel No.9 comes in a pretty black box with pink and light blue accents（強(qiáng)調(diào)）. Camel has traditionally been thought of as a “male” cigarette. With this new marketing plan， Reynolds declare that they are attempting to capture（搶奪）some of the female smokers who usually buy cigarettes like Virginia Slims and similar types.

Pretty in Pink. The packages are very pretty. With a pink camel in the middle of the black box， and even a pink cover， they shout “cool and style” to any young woman walking by looking for something to match her new pink Razor phone. The ad is equally eye-catching， with the boxes surrounded by flowers against a watercolor background. Yes， they did a nice job. But don’t let anyone fool you for one minute. These are not being packaged for thirty and forty-year-old women. They are clearly for a much younger crowd.

How You Can Help. So what about our girls? How do we get them to see this not as another cool new decoration for their purse， but as the cunning（狡猾的）control of their money and their health that it truly is? The answer is education. Talk with girls about how product packaging， advertising， and promotions can change the appearance and effect of almost any product. Discuss the difference between style and material. Explain to them how and why they are targeted， and have them search for and point out examples of this targeting as they meet them. Make sure girls know about the addiction and health risks related to cigarettes， and set a good example.
