adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled-a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions. Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentrations of these pollutants were altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities. However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In this localized region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm. 81. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The economic impact of air pollution B. What constitutes an air pollutant C. How much harm air pollutants can cause D. The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere 82. The word "adversely" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to A. negatively B. quickly C. admittedly D. considerably 83. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________. A. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas B. most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled C. the definition of air pollution will continue to change D. a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities 84. The word "altered" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. eliminated B. caused C. slowed D. changed 85. Natural pollutants can play an important role in controlling air pollution for which of the following reasons? A. They function as part of a purification process. B. They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants. C. They are less harmful to living beings than are other pollutants. D. They have existed since the Earth developed. 86. According to the passage, which of the following is true about human generated air pollution in localized regions? A. It can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants in the localized region. B. It can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants. C. It will damage areas outside of the localized regions. D. It will react harmfully with naturally occurring pollutants. 87. The word "noxious" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. harmful B. noticeable C. extensive D. weak 88. According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if ________. A. the other substances in the area are known B. it is in a localized area C. the naturally occurring level is also known D. it can be calculated quickly Page 05

89. The word "detectable" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. beneficial B. special C. measurable D. separable 90. Which of the following is best supported by the passage? A. To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws. B. One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws. C. Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants. D. Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution.

The fascination for interactive video games is seen in its purest form in this group. Video games appeal to some deep instinct in boys who find it impossibly to tear themselves away from them. Schoolwork is ignored, health is damaged and even eating habits are affected. Girls of the same age, however, are entirely different, demonstrating far greater freedom from the hold of video games.

A. although B. unless C. if D. otherwise Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below. Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments. Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs. But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing to work could find a job. Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs - Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deductions fromthe paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makershave proposed various ways to make up the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated. In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs. These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes. Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans overage 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity. 81. New immigrants to the U.S. could seek help from ______. A. the people who came earlier B. the US government agencies C. only charity organizations D. volunteer organizations 82. It took welfare programs a long time to gain a foothold in the U.S. due to the fast growth of ______. A. industrialization B. modernization C. urbanization D. population 83. The word “instituted” in the first paragraph mostly means ______. A. executed B. studied C. introduced D. enforced 84. The Social Security program has become possible thanks to ______. A. deductions from wages B. people’s willingness to work C. donations from companies D. enforcement laws 85. Most of the public assistance programs ______ after the severe economic crisis. A. were introduced into institutions B. did not become institutionalized C. functioned fruitfully in institutions D. did not work in institutions 86. That Social Security payments will be a burden comes from the concern that ______. A. elderly people ask for more money B. the program discourages working people C. the number of elderly people is growing D. younger people do not want to work 87. Persons on low incomes can access public housing through ______. A. low rents B. state spending C. donations D. federal expenditure 88. Americans on low incomes can seek help from ______. A. federal government B. government agencies 5

In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging”. “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms. 81. What is the main topic of this passage? A. The nature of radar B. History of radar C. Alternatives to radar D. Types of ranging 82. According to the passage, what can radar detect besides location of objects? A. Shape B. Size C. Speed D. Weight 83. The word “exemplified” in the passage can be replaced by _______. A. specified B. resembled C. illustrated D. justified 84. The word “shouts” in the passage most closely means _______. A. exclaims B. yells C. shoots D. whispers 85.

Human beings have been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years; but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings. When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly. Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write. In the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly. To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter. One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any civilization must have. Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized. 81. We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because ________. A. it has become very important in our culture B. human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years C. writing is secondary to language D. people have been writing since there have been human beings 82. The author of the passage argues that ________. A. all languages should have a written form B. writing has become too important in today’s society C. everyone who learns to speak must learn to write D. speech is more basic to language than writing 83. Normal human beings ________. A. learn to talk after learning to write B. learn to write before learning to talk C. learn to write and to talk at the same time D. learn to talk before learning to write 84. According to the passage, writing ________. A. is represented perfectly by speech B. represents speech, but not perfectly C. developed from imperfect speech D. is imperfect, but less so than speech 85. Learning to write is ________. A. too difficult B. easy C. not easy D. very easy 86. In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of ________. A. severely handicapped children B. people who learn the rudiments of speech C. intelligent people who couldn’t write D. people who speak many languages 87. In the author’s judgment, ________. A. writing is more real than speech B. writing has more advantages than speech C. speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does D. speech is essential but writing has important benefits 88. According to the author, one mark of any civilized society is that it ________. A. keeps written records B. affirms the primacy of speech over writing C. teaches its children to speak perfectly D. affirms the primacy of writing over speech 89. Which of the following is NOT true? A. It is easy to acquire the writing skill. B. Writing has become so important in our culture. C. Writing represents speech, but not perfectly. D. Speech is essential but writing has important benefits. 90. The word “advantage” in the last paragraph most closely means ________.

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace. One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others. Examinationsof factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character. The last century saw a steady gradual increasein literacy and thus in the number of readers. As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places aslibraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers. Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other.

Large amounts of natural gas are found in the 3 United States, usually several feet over the surface of the earth. Natural gas is most often 4 found in places where petroleum, the oil from which gasoline is made, is found. Often the 5 natural gas must be remove before the oil itself can be reached. For many years after 6 natural gas was first discovered, it was thought to have no valuable. Finally, however, 7 people began to understand its use and to find ways of storing it and moving it from place 8 to place. Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking and 9 heat. It has also been used for electric generators and hybrid cars recently. In many ways 10 natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It can be used for cooking without making the room 11 hot. It is cheap and can be moved easily from one place to another through long pipelines, 12 some of that are hundreds of miles in length.

herbivores find it in desert plants. The carnivores slake their thirst with the flesh and blood of living prey. One of the most remarkable adjustments, however, has been made by the tiny kangaroo rat, who not only lives without drinking but subsists on a diet of dry seeds containing about 5% free water. Like other animals, he has the ability to manufacture water in his body by a metabolic conversion of carbohydrates. But he is notable for the parsimony with which he conserves his small supply by every possible means, expending only minuscule amounts in his excreta and through evaporation from his respiratory tract. Investigation into how the kangaroo rat can live without drinking water has involved various experiments with these small animals. Could kangaroo rats somehow store water in their bodies and slowly utilize these resources in the long periods when no free water is available from dew or rain? The simplest way to settle this question was to determine the total water content in the animals to see if it decreases as they are kept for long periods on a dry diet. If they slowly use up their water, the body should become increasingly dehydrated, and if they begin with a store of water, this should be evident from an initial high water content. Results of such experiments with kangaroo rats on dry diets for more than 7 weeks showed that the rats maintained their body weight. There was no trend toward a decrease in water content during the long period of water deprivation. When the kangaroo rats were given free access to water, they did not drink water. They did nibble on small pieces of watermelon, but this did not change appreciably the water content in their bodies, which remained at 66.3 to 67.2 during this period. This is very close to the water content of dry-fed animals (66.5), and the availability of free water, therefore, did not lead to any “storage” that could be meaningful as a water reserve. This makes it reasonable to conclude that physiological storage of water is not a factor in the kangaroo rat’s ability to live on dry food. 81. What is the topic of this passage? A. Kangaroo rats B. Water in the desert C. Desert life D. Physiological experiments 82. The word “expire” is closest in meaning to A. become ill B. die C. shrink D. dehydrate 83. Which of the following is NOT a source of water for the desert animals? A. Desert plants B. Metabolic conversion of carbohydrates in the body C. The blood of other animals D. Streams 84. The word “it” refers to A. water B. the desert C. the opportunity D. a living thing 85. The author states that the kangaroo rat is known for all of the following EXCEPT A. the economy with which it uses available water B. living without drinking water C. breathing slowly and infrequently D. manufacturing water internally 86. The word “parsimony” is closest in meaning to A. intelligence B. desire C. frugality D. skill

stopped-up ears. About 30 percent of those who suffer from hay fever may develop the symptoms associated with periodic asthma or a smus infection. The allergen-antibody theory does not fully explain allergic reactions because the membranes and glands in eyes and ears are controlled by the independent nervous system, which keeps these organs in balance. But the independent nervous system itself is part of the emotional-response center and may cause the feelings of anger, fear, resentment, and lack of self-confidence in reaction to allergy-causing substances. The most conunon cause of hay fever is the pollen of ragweed, which blossoms during the summer and autumn. When air borne pollen particles, as well as mold, come into contact with the victim’s membranes, they can cause allergic reactions that release histamine and result in virtual blockage of air passages. To prevent hay fever or to decrease the severity of its symptoms, contact with the ragweed pollen should be reduced. Although some communities have attempted to eliminate the plants that cause the reactions, elimination programs have not been successful because airborne pollen can travel considerable distances. Anti-histamine can help with short but severe attacks. Over extended periods of time, however, patients are prescribed a series of injections of the substance to which they are sensitive in order to increase immunity and thus be relieved of the seasonal allergy. (Resource: TOEFL test strategies by Eli Hinkel, Ph.D) 81. It can be inferred from the passage that the phrase “hay fever” refers to ________.

Of all the subjects that I study in school, I think that English is the most important subject. It is mainly through the English language that we gain access to the various sources of knowledge. English is a language which is spoken and understood by many people in most countries of the world. It is, in fact, the most important means of communication among the vanous countries of the wodd. Knowledge of new discoveries and inventions in one country is transmitted to other countries through English for the benefit of the world. In this way English helps to spread knowledge and progress. It is true, however, that in the modern age, the study of Science and Mathematics too should be considered very important. Science has conferred many benefits in man. But it requires little thought to realise that scientific principles cannot be understood well without a good knowledge of a language.

Before the flames were finally extinguished, nearty the entreaty had been reduced to ashes. Over thirteen thousand homes, fifty churches and numerous public buildings and hospitals were lost in the blaze. For all practical purposes, London was destroyed. (5) The Great Fire was not seen as a total tragedy, however. The deplorable conditions of the city had been attacked by physicians and humanitarians for years before the fire; thus, with the opportunity dearly presented to create a shining new dty, artists and craftsmen from all over England hurried to submit their designs for the rebuilding of London. Among those who submitted plans was Sir Christopher Wren, one of England's leading architects and the (10) Surveyor of London. The task of rebuilding the city was given to him. Wren realized that the Great Fire would not have been so damaging if the city had been better laid out: broader streets were needed to replace the crooked, narrow alleys overhung with dilapidated wooden houses and shops. He also felt that redesigning the main thoroughfares of London would result in increased and more effective transportation within the city. Shortly after Wren began working on his first drafts for the rebuilding. King Charles I issued a proclamation (15) prohibiting the construction of any house or shop within the city limits until after the plans were completed. When the plans were unveiled to the citizens of London, however, they were overwhelmingly rejected. The most vocal leaders of the opposition were the landlords, who feared that such a drastic widening of the streets would reduce the amount of land available for development. (20) Winter was approaching; consequently, it was necessary for the rebuilding to proceed at once. Permission was, therefore, granted for the townspeople and landlords to commence reconstruction of their houses and shops at the sites where they had been before the fire. Had the need for immediate action not been so pressing, some kind of compromise could likely have been reached. This was not to be, however, and the ideas that could (25) have made London one of the world's most beautiful cities never came to pass. 81. The probable meaning of “reduced to ashes” (line 2) is ________. A. made unbearably hot B. discolored by the fire and smote C. covered with ashes D. destroyed by fire 82. Which of the followings was probably among the deplorable conditions of the city? A. lack of adequate lightning B. the rough streets and alleys C. the run-down condition of many houses and shops D. all of the above 83. What did Sir Christopher Wren describe as the reason for the damage of the city? Page 6 of 8

By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest ofthe Sun’s life will be like. About five billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun will expand approximately 35 million miles,about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too high for life to exist. Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf. After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat. Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the Earth’s surface. 81. It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun ______. A. is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf B. will continue to be a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years C. has been in existence for 10 billion years D. is rapidly changing in size and brightness 82. What will probably be the first stage of change for the Sun to become a red giant? A. Its surface will become hotter and shrink B. It will throw off huge amounts of gases C. Its central part will grow smaller and hotter D. Its core will cool off and use less fuel 83. When the Sun becomes a red giant, whatwill the atmosphere be like on the Earth? A. It will be enveloped in the expanding surface of the sun. B. It will become too hot for life to exist. C. It will be almost destroyed by nova explosions. D. It will freeze and become solid. 84. When the Sun has used up its energy as a red giant, it will ______. A. get frozen B. cease to exist C. stop to expand D. become smaller 85. Large amounts of gases may be released fromthe Sun at the end of its life as a ______. A. black dwarf B. white dwarf C. red giant D. yellow dwarf 86. As a white dwarf, the Sun will be ______. A. the same size as the planet Mercury B. around 35 million miles in diameter C. a cool and habitable planet D. thousands of times smaller than it is today 87. The Sun will become a black dwarf when ______. A. the Sun moves nearer to the Earth B. it has used up all its fuel as a white dwarf C. the core of the Sun becomes hotter D. the outer regions of the Sun expand 88.

Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was desperately in need of reform. Private schools existed, but only for the very rich. There were very few public schools because of the strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be laborers should not “waste” their time on education but should instead prepare themselves for their life’s work. It was in the face of this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task. Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As Superintendent of Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country. He extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries. Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased publicawareness as to the need for a further strengthening of the system. 81. The best title for the passage could be ______. A. A Flight for Change B. American Education in the Beginning of the 19th Century C. Nineteenth - the Century of Reform D. The Beginnings of Reform in American Education 82. The passage implied that to go to a private school, a student needed ______. A. a high level of intelligence B. a strong educational background C. a lot of money D. good grades 83. The word “desperately” in the passage mostly means ______.

A. does not want students to waste their time on education B. is quoting someone else who said that education was a waste of time C. wants to emphasize how much time is wasted on education D. thinks that education is not really a waste of time 85. According to the passage, Horace Mann wanted a better educational system for Americans because ______. A. education at the time was so cheap B. people had nothing else to do except go to school C. Massachusetts residents needed something to do with their spare time D. all citizens should be educated in a republic 86. The word “reformers” in the passage mostly means ______. A. people who work for the government B. people who really enjoy teaching C. people who try to change things for the better D. people who believe that education is wasted 87. The word “citizen” in the passage mostly means ______. A. a person who lives in a particular city Page 6 of 8

Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below. It is hard to think of a world without gas or electricity. Both are commonly used for lighting and heating today. We now can instantly flick a lighter or strike a match to make a flame. But it was not long ago that there were no such things as matches or lighters. To makefire, it was necessary to strike a piece of iron on flint for sparks to ignite some tinder. If the tinder was damp, or the flint old, you had to borrow some fire from a neighbor. We do not know exactly when or how people first used fire. Perhaps, many ages ago, they found that sticks would burn if they were dropped into some hole where melted lava from a volcano lay boiling. They brought the lighted sticks back to make their fire in a cave. Or, they may have seentrees catch fire through being struck by lightning, and used the trees to start their own fires. Gradually people learned they could start a fire withouttraveling far to find flames. They rubbed two pieces of wood together. This method was used for thousands of years. When people became used to making fires with which to cook food and stay warm at night, they found that certain resins or gums from trees burnt longer and brighter. They melted resins and dipped branches in the liquid to make torches that lit their homes at night. Iron stands in which torches used to be fixed can still be seen in old buildings of Europe. There was no lighting in city streets until gas lamps, and then electric lamps were installed. Boys ran about London at night carrying torches of burning material. They were called torch boys, or link boys, and earned a living by guiding visitors to friends’ houses at night. For centuries homes were lit by candles until oil was found. Even then, oil lamps were no more effective than a cluster of candles. We read about the splendors and marvels of ancient palaces and castles, but we forget that they must have been gloomy and murky places at night. 81. The word “lighter”in the passage mostly means ______. A. a device that uses electricity, oil or gas to produce light B. a small device that produces a flame for lighting cigarettes, etc. C. the energy from the sun, a lamp, etc. that makes it possible to see things D. a hot bright stream of burning gas that comes from something that is on fire 82. To make a fire in times just before the advent of matches, it was essential to have access to ______. A. a burning fire or to possess flint B. a burning fire or to possess iron C. flint, iron and dry tinder D. a magnifying glass 83.The first fire used by people was probably obtained ______. A. from the sun’s heat through glass B. by rubbing wood together C. from heat or fire caused by nature D. by striking iron against flint 84. Torches for lighting were made from ______. A. the wood of gum trees B. iron bars dipped in melted resins C. wooden poles dipped in oil D. tree branches dipped in melted resins 85. Before the electric lamp was invented ______. A. oil lamps and then candles were used B. candles and oil lamps appeared about the same time C. candles and then oil lamps were used D. people did not use any form of lighting in their houses

A. able B. capable C. hardly D. possible Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below. Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth-century technology is Modern Times, made in 1936. Charlie Chaplin was motivated to makethe film by a reporter who, while interviewing him, happened to describe the working conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin was told that healthy young farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines. Within four or five years, these young men’s health was destroyed by the stress of work in the factories. The film opens with a shot of a mass ofsheep making their way down a crowded ramp. Abruptly, the film shifts toa scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factory. However, the rather bitter note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained. It is replaced by a gentle note of satire. Chaplin prefers to entertain rather than lecture. Scenes of factory interiors account for only about one-third of Modern Times, but they contain some of the most pointed social commentary as well as the most comic situations. No one who has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt, almost losing his mind in the process. Another popular scene involves an automatic feeding machine brought to the assembly line so thatworkers need not interrupt their labor to eat. The feeding machine malfunctions, hurling food at Chaplin, who is strapped in his position on the assembly line and cannot escape. This serves to illustrate people’s utter helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to serve their basic needs. Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a social context. It does not offer a radical social message, but it does accurately reflect the sentiment of many who feel they are victims of an over-mechanised world.

Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practisedfor at least the last two million years. It was, indeed, the only way to obtain fooduntil rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago. Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and arctic wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the coasts and waterways. The abundance of vegetation inthe lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies. Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area has become exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration patterns evolving for mosthunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes. These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.

Some of these are made on public transport but most are by private car. In Britain many peaple rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g. getting to work,doing the shopping, and visting friends. People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car. Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but to rely on their cars. In the US large cities have good public transportation systems. The El railroad in Chicago and the underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used. Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, banks, ect. Many college and even high-school students have their own cars. Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities. Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam. Long – distance coach/ bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable. Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for businees reasons, may be by air. There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London. A lot of freight is also distributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail. In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road. The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution. It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years, making both these problems worse. The British govetnment would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours. Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough. Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom. Pestrol/ gasoline is relatively cheap Page 6 of 8

wilderness areas in general. One important issue of land use arises when parts of National Parks are owned by individuals. In Denali, though most of the land in this vast tract of more than a million acres is owned by the National Park Service, several 10 thousand acres are still privately owned as mining tracts. These mining tracts in Denali were once abundant sources of gold, but they were sources of heavy metals such as arsenic and lead that pollute drivers and streams. Environmentalists were successful in getting the government to require mining companies to submit statements showing the potential impact of a mining project before they are allowed to begin mining. Because 15 of this requirement, many individuals closed their mines and some sold their land to the National Park Service. Some land owners, however, are wondering if it is better to sell their land to the government or keep it for possible future use. Tourism in this previously remote area is bound to rise, as more roads are built to provide easier access to the park. This increase in the number of visitors creates a demand for hotels and 20 other real estate development. The economic implications of this are of interest to the land owners, but are dismaying to those interested in preserving the wilderness. 81. What is the primary focus of this passage? A. controversies over land use in Denali B. miners selling their property in Denali C. Alaska building more roads to Denali D. limiting tourist access to Denali 82. The word "prompting" in line 5 could best be replaced by which of the following? A. promising B. sanctioning C. initiating D. trapping 83. The word "arises" in line 7 could be best replaced by A. surrenders B. occurs C. volunteers D. prospers 84. The word "tract" as used in line 9 refers to which of the following? A. trail B. resort C. frontier D. expanse 85. Which of the following is most similar to the word "abundant" in line 11? A. plentiful B. sparse C. hopeful D. absolute 86. According to the passage, which of the following are pollutants in the Denali area? A. gold B. pesticides C. human waste D. arsenic 87. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase "potential impact" in line 14? A. approximate cost B. expected value C. proposed size D. possible effects 88. The author infers that some mine owners might hesitate to sell their land to the Park Service for which of the following reasons? A. There may be increasing demand for the ore in the mines. B. They might want to move to the towns. C. They might receive more money selling their land to developers. D. They might want to build a house on their property. 89. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A. to demonstrate the changes in Denali National Park B. to use Denali as an example of common park issues C. to introduce the wonders of the wilderness area of Denali D. to explain the problems occurring in Denali Park 90.

Because the low latitudes of the Earth, the areas near the equator, receive more heat than the latitude near the poles, and because the nature of heart is to expand and move, Heat is transported from the tropics to the middle and high latitudes. Some of this heat is moved by winds and some by ocean currents, and some gets stored in the atmosphere in the form of latent heat. The term “latent hear” refers to the energy that has to be used to convert liquid water to water vapor. We know that if we warm a pan of water on a stove, it will evaporate, or turn into vapor, faster than if it is allowed to sit at room temperature. We also know that if we hang wet clothes outside in the summertime they will dry faster than in winter, when temperatures are colder. The energy used in both cases to change liquid water to water vapor is supplied by heat – supplied by the stove in the first case and by the Sun in the latter case. This energy is not lost. It is stored in water vapor in the atmosphere as latent heat. Eventually, the water stored as vapor in the atmosphere will condense to liquid again, and the energy will be release to the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, a large portion of the Sun’s incoming energy is used to evaporate water, primarily in the tropical oceans. Scientists have tried to quantify this proportion of the Sun’s energy. By analyzing temperature, water vapor, and wind data around the globe, they have estimated the quantity to be about 90 watts per square meter, or nearly 30 percent of the Sun’s energy. Once this latent heat is stored within the atmosphere, it can be transported, primarily to higher latitudes, by prevailing, large-scale winds. Or it can be transported vertically to higher levels in the atmosphere, where it forms clouds and subsequent storms, which then release the energy back to the atmosphere. 81. The passage mainly discussed how heat ________. A. is transformed and transported in the Earth’s atmosphere B. is transported by ocean currents C. can be measured and analyzed by scientists D. moves about the Earth’s equator 82. The passage mentions that the tropics differ from the Earth’s polar regions in which of the following ways? A. The height of cloud formation in the atmosphere B. The amount of heat they receive from the Sun Page 6 of 8

their work in school. This is a normal development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming independently , of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing over. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that question are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them. Parents should make their best to talk to their son or daughter about school work and future plan but should not push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signatures: some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with drugs , alcohols or smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of unusually behavior which may be connected with these and get help if necessary.

A. named B. entitled C. subtitled D. called Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below. The influenza virus is a single molecule composed of millions of individual atoms. Although bacteria can be considered a type of plant, secreting poisonous substances into the body of the organism they attack, viruses, like the influenza virus, are living organisms themselves. We may consider them regular chemical molecules since they have strictly defined atomic structure; but on the other hand, we must consider them as being alive since they are able to multiply in unlimited quantities. An attack brought on by the presence of the influenza virus in the body produces a temporary immunity, but, unfortunately, the protection is against only the type of virus that caused the influenza. Because the disease can be produced by any one of three types, referred to as A, B, or C, and many strains within each type, immunity to one virus will not prevent infection by another type or strain. Approximately every ten years, worldwide epidemics of influenza called pandemics occur. Thought to be caused by new strains of type-A virus, these pandemic viruses have spread rapidly, inflecting millions of people. Epidemics or regional outbreaks have appeared on the average every two or three years or type-A virus, and every four or five years for type-B virus. 81. With what topic is the passage primarily concerned? A. the influenza virus B. immunity to disease C. bacteria D. chemical molecules 82. According to this passage, bacteria are A. poisons B. very small C. larger than viruses D. plants 83. The word “themselves” refers to A. molecules B. bacteria C. substances D. viruses 84. The word “strictly” could best be replaced by A. unusually B. completely C. broadly D. exactly 85. Why does the writer say that viruses are alive? A. they have a complex atomic struture C. they multiply B. they move D. they need warmth and light 86.The atomic structure of viruses A. is variable C. cannot e analyzed chemically B. is strictly defined D. is more complex than that of bacteria. 87.The word “unlimited” could be best replaced by which of the following? A. very small B. very large C. very similar D. very different 88. How does the body react to the influenza virus? A. It prevents further infection to other types and strains of the virus. B. It produces immunity to the type and strain of virus that invaded it. C. It becomes immune to types A, B, and C viruses, but not to various strains within the types. D. After a temporary immunity, it becomes even more susceptible to the type and strain that caused the influenza. 5

Passage During the teenage years, many youth people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem to dislike being questioning. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school. This is a normal development at this age, through it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them. Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and future plants but should not push them to talk if they don't want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some young people in trying being adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol, or smoking. Parents need to watch for all signs of unusual behave which may be connected with these and get help if necessarry.

Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability. On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee. Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances. To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal. Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation. Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels. 81. The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to ______. A. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy B. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity C. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy D. discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity 82. Before electricity, what was sometimes passed through pipes to heat rooms? A. Gas. B. Petrol. C. Steam. D. Hot wind. 83. What does the author mean by saying that electricity is flexible?

Write your answers in the numbered spaces below. Number (00.) is done as an example. Passage Line Everyone wants to reduce pollution. But the pollution problem is as complicated as it is 1 serious. It is complicated because of much pollution is caused by things that benefit people. 2 3 For example, exhaust from automobiles causes a large percent of all air pollution. However, 4 the automobile provides transportation for million of people. Factories discharge much of 5 material that pollutes air and water, but factories give employment to a large number of people. 6 Thus, to end or great reduce pollution immediately, people would have to stop using 7 many things that benefit them. Most of the people do not want to do that, of course. 8 Nevertheless, pollution can be gradual reduced in several ways. Scientists and engineers can 9 work to find ways to lessen the way of pollution that such things like automobiles and 10 factories cause. Governments can pass and enforce laws that request businesses and traffic 11 to stop, or to cut down on certain polluting activities.

The important feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose. Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years. In wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda. Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters. In this way, the moderncartoon has become a very powerful force in influencing people in Europe and the United States. Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could notread and write. Such cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China. Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the formof cartoons. The cartoons themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way. In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not depend chiefly on telling jokes. Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons. This is not their primary aim. In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters, Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible among the people. Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge. They offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture. Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to the East and not vice versa. By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the West. Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries. The vast increase in the popularity ofthese cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One picture is worth a thousand words.” 81. Which of the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons? A. Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness. B. Originality, freshness, and astonishment. Page 5

After the representative identifies a promised 7 band, he or she will work to negotiate a contract with that band. The signing of this 8 recording contract is a slow process. A company will spend a long time 9 investigating the band itself as well as current trends in popular music.

A. disasters B. accidents C. problems D. wars Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below. No one can calculate the quantity of solid waste that has been dumped in the world’s oceans, but the total certainly exceeds many millions of tons. For example, from 1880 to 1895, 75 percent of the solid waste from New York City was dumped untreated into the Atlantic Ocean. Although it is now prohibited by law, the dumping of solid waste, including wastewater sludge, industrial waste, and high-level radioactive waste were common in the United States until 1970. Cruise ships and huge floating fishing factories still regularly dispose of their solid waste products directly into the ocean. The earth naturally recycles water and refreshes the land in what is called the hydrological cycle. The hydrological cycle not only renews the supply of water, but cleans it as well. The process begins as heat from the sun causes sea water, 97 percent of the earth’s total water reserve, to evaporate and form clouds. Because water evaporates at lower temperatures than most pollutants, the water vapor that rises from the seas is relatively pure and free of the contaminants, which are left behind. Next, water returns to us as rain, which drains into streams and rivers and rushes toward the sea. Chemicals, petroleum products, and other dangerous substances such as radioactive materials remain in the ocean, polluting it permanently. The polluted ocean water kills fish or makes them dangerous to eat, posing health problems for those who consume them. It kills the tiny sea creatures that are the source of food for larger fish, sharks, and whales. It also spoils a source of great beauty and pleasure when some solid waste is thrown onto beaches during storms. Discharged petroleum products are frequently found on beaches and they not only ruin the beach, the petroleum residue kills hundreds of shore birds. Nonpoint pollutants are dumped into lakes, rivers, and streams that may be far away from any ocean. However, these pollutants flow, eventually, into the oceans. They can come from a variety of sources, from road salt to agricultural pesticides. One source of nonpoint pollution is runoff from farming, including fertilizers, manure, and pesticides. Another source is industrial runoff, including heavy metals, phosphorous, and many other chemicals. Urban runoff (oils, salts, various chemicals) and atmospheric fallout of airborne pollution are other sources of nonpoint pollutants that reach the oceans. This includes water and waste from sinks, toilets, washing machines and bathtubs. The problem with this type of waste is that it provides massive amounts of nutrients for water plants such as algae, so that they grow rapidly. This sudden growth causes concentration or algae blooms, which use up the oxygen in the water. As the oxygen level of the water declines, many organisms suffer and die, and the ocean ecosystem is radically altered. This can be prevented by the installation of waste treatment plants that prevent waste from entering the sea, but such facilities do not exist in many poorer countries. 81. What can be inferred about the waste dumped into the world’s oceans? A. It’s mainly household waste B. Much of it was not treated C. It is billions of tons D. It is primary industrial waste 6

A useful definition of an air pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled-a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions. Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentrations of these pollutants were altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities. However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In this localized region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur

naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm. 81. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The economic impact of air pollution B. What constitutes an air pollutant C. How much harm air pollutants can cause D. The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere 82. The word "adversely" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to A. negatively B. quickly C. admittedly D. considerably 83. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________. A. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas B. most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled C. the definition of air pollution will continue to change D. a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities 84. The word "altered" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. eliminated B. caused C. slowed D. changed 85. Natural pollutants can play an important role in controlling air pollution for which of the following reasons? A. They function as part of a purification process. B. They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants. C. They are less harmful to living beings than are other pollutants. D. They have existed since the Earth developed. 86. According to the passage, which of the following is true about human generated air pollution in localized regions? A. It can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants in the localized region. B. It can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants. C. It will damage areas outside of the localized regions. D. It will react harmfully with naturally occurring pollutants. 87. The word "noxious" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. harmful B. noticeable C. extensive D. weak 88. According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if ________. A. the other substances in the area are known B. it is in a localized area C. the naturally occurring level is also known D. it can be calculated quickly 89. The word "detectable" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. beneficial B. special C. measurable D. separable 90. Which of the following is best supported by the passage? A. To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws. B. One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws.

Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments. (1_Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life). In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs. (2_But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization) and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing to work could find a job. (5_Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures), but one of the programs - Social Security - has become an American institution. (4_Paid for by deductions fromthe paychecks of working people), Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher. (6_Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically). Policy makershave proposed various ways to make up the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated. (7_In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs. These include Medicaid and Medicare); food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes. (8_Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help). A broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available. (9_Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans overage 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity). 81. New immigrants to the U.S. could seek help from ______. A. the people who came earlier B. the US government agencies C. only charity organizations D. volunteer organizations

In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging”. “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms. 81. What is the main topic of this passage? A. The nature of radar B. History of radar C. Alternatives to radar D. Types of ranging 82. According to the passage, what can radar detect besides location of objects? A. Shape B. Size C. Speed D. Weight 83. The word “exemplified” in the passage can be replaced by _______. A. specified B. resembled C. illustrated D. justified 84. The word “shouts” in the passage most closely means _______. A. exclaims B. yells C. shoots D. whispers 85. Which of the following words best describes the tone of this passage? A. argumentative B. explanatory C. humorous D. imaginative 86.

(1_Because writing has become so important in our culture,) we sometimes think of it as more real than speech. A little thought, however, (will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language). Human beings have been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years; but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings. (4_When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech), although imperfectly. Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, (3_we all learn to talk well before we learn to write;) any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, (5_it takes a special effort to learn to write). (6_In the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill) and even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly. To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter. (7_One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent) and (8_makes possible the records that any civilization must have). Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized. 81. We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because ________. A. it has become very important in our culture B. human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years C. writing is secondary to language D. people have been writing since there have been human beings 82. The author of the passage argues that ________. A. all languages should have a written form B. writing has become too important in today’s society C. everyone who learns to speak must learn to write D. speech is more basic to language than writing 83. Normal human beings ________. A. learn to talk after learning to write B. learn to write before learning to talk C. learn to write and to talk at the same time D. learn to talk before learning to write 84. According to the passage, writing ________. A. is represented perfectly by speech B. represents speech, but not perfectly C. developed from imperfect speech D. is imperfect, but less so than speech 85. Learning to write is ________. A. too difficult B. easy C. not easy D. very easy 86. In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of ________. A. severely handicapped children B. people who learn the rudiments of speech C. intelligent people who couldn’t write D. people who speak many languages 87. In the author’s judgment, ________. A. writing is more real than speech B. writing has more advantages than speech C. speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does D. speech is essential but writing has important benefits 88. According to the author, one mark of any civilized society is that it ________. A. keeps written records B. affirms the primacy of speech over writing C. teaches its children to speak perfectly D. affirms the primacy of writing over speech --- 5 ---

A person with the television set can sit in his house and watch the president doing a speech or visit a foreign country. He can see a war being fought and watch statesmen try to bring peaceful. Through TV, home viewers can see and learn about people, places, and things in faraway lands. Television even takes their viewers out of this world.

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace. One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others. Examinationsof factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character. The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers. As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers. Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other. By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied. 81. Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because ______. A. people relied on reading for entertainment

It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading materials was an indication of ______. A. a decline of standards of literacy B. a change in the readers’ interest C. an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes D. an improvement of printing techniques 86. The phrase “a specialised readership” in paragraph 4 mostly means “______”. A. a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge B. a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge C. a reading volume for particular professionals D. a status for readers specialised in mass media 87. The phrase “oral reader” in the last paragraph mostly means “a person who ______”.
