Part 3: Read the following passage and answer the questions from 101 to 110. (10 pts) Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) a government train carrying oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in a snowstorm and had to be abandoned. The driver returned the next spring to see what had become of his cargo. Instead of the skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, and healthy. How had they survived? The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to cross the ―Great American Desert‖ to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the eastern parts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant. It grew well with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed. But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought. To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless. Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the
surprising western wild grasses did just that. They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses. Variously known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems. And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they grew on the ground. When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the winter. Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay. And the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring. The dry summer air cured them much as storing in a barn cured the cultivated grasses. 101. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. A type of wild vegetation B. Western migration after Civil War C.

Question 2. Mistake correction There are 10 mistakes in the following passage. Find them and correct them
Many different kinds of insurance are available to deaf people today but weren‘t in past. It was the year 1898 that an insurance company for deaf people was born. A small group of young deaf man had a meeting in this year. They were all worried. At that time, only deaf people were not allowed to buy insurance. The group worked hard during the three years making research. They were ready for action at the second meeting. That meeting was historic because the men found the Fraternal Society of the Deaf. The first few years on the Fraternal Society of the Deaf were difficult. There was no money for an office, so they worked in their home. Since the company was very young, there was no money to pay for deadly benefits. If a member passed away, each of the other members gave one dollar to help pay for burial costs. As time passed by, the company grew. As it grew, the benefits improved. Health insurance has added. In 1905, the first office opened in Chicago, Illinois. In 1907, the name of the company changed. The new name, still is used today, was the National Fraternal Society of the Deaf, NFSD. 1 ...................... 2 ...................... 3 ..................... →....................... →....................... →........................ 4 ....................... 5 ....................... 6 .................... →...................... →...................... →......................... 7 ....................... 8 ....................... 9 ...................... →...................... →...................... →....................... 10 ..................... →........................

Read the passage and choose the best option to each question Since the dawn of time, people have found ways to communicate with one another. Smoke signals and tribal drums were some of the earliest forms of communication. Letters, carried by birds or by humans on foot or on horseback, made it possible for people to communicate larger amounts of information between two places. The telegraph and telephone set the stage for more modern means of communication. With the invention of the cellular phone, communication itself has become mobile. For you, a cell phone is probably just a device that you or your friends use to keep in touch with family and friends, take pictures, play games, or send text messages. The definition of a cell phone is more specific: it is a hand-held wireless communication device that sends and receives signals by way of small special areas called cells. Walkie-talkies, telephones, and cell phones are duplex communication devices: they make it possible for two people to talk to each other. Cell phones and walkie-talkies are different from regular phones, because they can be used in many different locations. A walkie-talkie is sometimes called a half-duplex communication device, because only one person can talk at a time. A cell phone is a full-duplex device because it uses both frequencies at the same time. A walkie-talkie has only one channel. A cell phone has more than a thousand channels. A walkie- talkie can transmit and receive signals across a distance of about a mile. A cell phone can transmit and receive signals over hundreds of miles. In 1973, an electronic company called Motorola hired Martin Cooper to work on wireless communication. Motorola and Bell Laboratories (now AT&T) were in a race to invent the first portable communication device. Martin Cooper won the race and became the inventor of the cell phone. On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the first cell phone call to his opponent at AT&T while walking down the streets of New York City. People on the sidewalks gazed at Cooper in amazement as he walked down the street talking on his cellular phone. Cooper‘s phone was called Motorola Dyna-Tac. It weighed a whooping 2 ½ pounds (as compared to today‘s cell phones that weigh as little as 3 or 4 ounces).
After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone available to the general public. After ten years, Motorola introduced the first cell phones for commercial use. The early cell phone and its service were both very expensive. The cell phone itself cost about $3,500. In 1977, AT&T constructed a cell phone system and tried it out in Chicago with over 2,000 customers. In 1981, a second cellular phone system was started in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore area. It took nearly 37 years for cell phones to become available for general public use. Today there are more than sixty million cell phone customers with cell phones producing over thirty billion dollars per year. 1. What is the main idea of the passage? A. the difference between cell phones and B. how Cooper competed with AT&T telephones C. the history of a cell phone D. the increasing number of people using cell phones 2.

Question 2. You are going to read a newspaper article about sleep. Five paragraphs have been removed from the article. Choose from the paragraphs A – F the one which fits each gap (1 – 5). There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use. Enough Sleep? Tiredness, it is often claimed, has become the modern conditions. As the richer, busier countries have grown, so sleeplessness and anxiety have also grown in the popular psyche. Research in the USA has found 40 million Americans to be chronically affected, and some recent best-selling novels in Britain have featured insomniacs as protagonists, or sleep-research laboratories as their settings. 1
Recently, a sleep researcher fried an experiment. He offered his subjects the opposite of the modern routine. ―I allowed them to sleep for up to 14 hours a night for a month. It took them three weeks to reach an equilibrium of eight-and-a-quarter hours. That indicates a great rebound of sleep – sleep that they hadn‘t been getting. 2 For guinea pigs, they advertise in the student newspapers. Subjects are picked up by taxi, paid $ 5 an hour, and asked to adjust their sleeping patterns according to instructions. Dr. Louise Reyner provides reassurance: ―Some people are quite worried, because you‘re putting electrodes on their heads, and they think you can see what they‘re dreaming or thinking.‖ 3 The young men all deny they are going to fall asleep. Dr. Reyner has a video recording of one trying not to. At first the person at the wheel is very upright, wet and bleary eyes determinedly fixed on the windscreen. Then he begins to blink briefly, every now and again; then for longer, and more often, with a slight drop of the head. Each nod grows heavier than the last. The blinks become a 10-second blackout. Every time, he jerks awake as if nothing has happened. But the car, by the second or third occasion, has shot off the carriageway. 4 But apart from these findings, what else do we know about human sleep with any kind of certainty? It is known that humans sleep, like other mammals, according to a daily cycle. Once asleep, they switch between four different stages of unconsciousness, from stage one sleep, the shallowest, to the stage four, the deepest. When dreams occur, which is usually during the lightest sleep, the brain paralyses the body except for the hands and eyelids, thus preventing injuries. 5
However, there is a strong degree of certainty among scientists that women sleep for half an hour longer than men, and that older people require less sleep, though they don‘t know why. When asked what sleep is for, some sleep researchers reply in cosmic terms: ―Sleep is a tactic to travel through time without injury.‖ ______________________________________________________________________________ _________ A. Beyond this, certainties blur into theories. It is often suggested, for example, that sleep repairs body tissue, or restores muscles, or rests the frontal section of the brain that controls speech and creativity. But all of this may happen more quickly during relaxed wakefulness, so no one is really sure. B. Part of this interest is in sleep in general: in its rhythms, its uses and in problems with sleeping. But a central preoccupation remains. ―People need more sleep,‖ says one leading sleep researcher. ―People cut back on sleep when they‘re busy. They get up too early to avoid rush hour.‖ C. The sleep researchers seem interested in this theory. But the laboratory is not funded to investigate such matters. Its sponsors what its research to lead to practical solutions such as deciding where Take a break signs should be placed on motorways, and how different kinds of food and drink can affect driving and sleeplessness. D. A coffee might have helped. Two cups, Dr. Reyner says, even after no sleep at all, can make you a safe driver for half an hour or more. She recommends a whole basket of alertness products: tablets, energy drinks, caffeinated chewing gum. Shift workers, she is quite sure, could probably use them. E. In fact, the laboratory‘s interest is more physical. In a darkened room stands a motorway simulator, the front section of a car facing a wide projection screen. The subjects are always told to arrive at 2pm, in the body‘s natural mid-afternoon lull, after a short night‘s sleep or no sleep at all. The projector is switched on and they are asked to drive, while answering questions. An endless road rolls ahead, sunlight glares; and the air is warm.
F. In Europe, such propositions are perhaps most thoroughly tested in a small, unassuming building on a university campus in the English midlands. The university sleep research laboratory has investigated, among many subjects, the effects of fatigue on sailors, the effects of airport noise on sleepers, and the dangers of motorway driving for flagging drivers.

Day after day we hear about how anthropogenic development is causing global warming. According to an increasingly vocal minority, however, we should be asking ourselves how much of this is media hype and how much is based on real evidence. It seems, as so often is the case, that it depends on which expert you listen to, or which statistics you study. Yes, it is true that there is a mass of evidence to indicate that the world is getting warmer, with one of the world's leading weather predictors stating that air temperatures have shown an increase of just under half a degree Celsius since the beginning of the twentieth century. And while this may not sound like anything worth losing sleep over the international press would have us believe that the consequences could be devastating. Other experts, however, are of the opinion that what we are seeing is just part of a natural upward and downward swing that has always been part of the cycle of global weather. An analysis of the views of major meteorologists in the United States showed that less than 20% of them believed that any change in temperature over the last hundred years was our own fault-the rest attributed it to natural cyclical changes. There is, of course, no denying that we are still at a very early stage in understanding weather. The effects of such variables as rainfall, cloud formation, the seas and oceans, gases such as methane and ozone, or even solar energy are still not really understood, and therefore the predictions that we make using them cannot always be relied on. Dr. James Hansen, in 1988, was predicting that the likely effects of global warming would be a raising of world temperature which would have disastrous consequences for mankind: \"a strong cause and effect relationship between the current climate and human alteration of the atmosphere\". He has now gone on record as stating that using artificial models of climate as a way of predicting change is all but impossible. In fact, he now believes that, rather than getting hotter, our planet is getting greener as a result of the carbon dioxide increase, with the prospect of increasing vegetation in areas which in recent history have been frozen wastelands. In fact. there is some evidence to suggest that as our computer-based weather models have become more sophisticated, the predicted rises in temperature have been cut back. In addition, if we look at the much reported rise in global temperature over the last century, a close analysis reveals that the lion's share of that increase, almost three quarters in total, occurred before man began to 'poison' his world with industrial processes and the accompanying greenhouse gas emissions in the second half of the twentieth century.
So should we pay any attention to those stories that scream out at us from billboards and television news headlines, claiming that man, with his inexhaustible dependence on oil-based machinery and ever more sophisticated forms of transport is creating a nightmare level of 'greenhouse gas emissions, poisoning his environment and ripping open the ozone layer? Doubters point to scientific evidence. which can prove that, of all the greenhouse gases, only two percent come from man-made sources, the rest resulting from natural emissions. Who, then, to believe: the environmentalist exhorting us to leave the car at home, to buy re- usable products packaged in recycled paper and to plant trees in our back yard? Or the sceptics, including, of course, a lot of big businesses who have most to lose, when they tell us that we are making a mountain out of a molehill? And my own opinion? The jury's still out as far as I am concerned! 1. The author __________ A. believe that man is causing global warming. B. believes that global warming is a natural process. C. is sure what the causes of global warming are. D. does not say what he believes the causes of global warming are. 2. As to the cause of global warming, the author believes that _________ A. occasionally the facts depend on who you are talking to. B. the facts always depend on who you are talking to. C. often the facts depend on which expert you listen to. D. you should not speak to experts. 3. More than 80% of the top meteorologists in the United States are of the opinion that _________ A. global warming should make us lose sleep.
B. global warming is not the result of natural cyclical changes but man-made. C. the consequences of global warming will be devastating. D. global warming is not man-made, but the result of natural cyclical changes. 4. Our understanding of weather __________ A. leads to reliable predictions. B. is variable. C. cannot be denied. D. is not very developed yet. 5. Currently, Dr James Hansen's beliefs include the fact that _________ A. it is nearly impossible to predict weather change using artificial models. B. the consequences of global warming would be disastrous for mankind. C. there is a significant link between the climate now, and man's changing of the atmosphere. D. Earth is getting colder.

Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct option (marked A, B, C or D) to answer the questions. A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes. The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty. This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother. There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid leaving signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt any burglar.
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbor you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet, desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house. But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has decided to target your home? Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs windows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked. No matter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window. What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent. Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defence against intruders. A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinize callers at your leisure. When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example. If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder. Far better to telephone the police and wait for help. 1. According to the writer, we should _______. A. avoid leaving our house empty B. only go out when we have to C. always keep the curtains closed D. give the impression that our house is occupied when we go out 2. The “aforementioned precautions” refer to steps that _______. A. will tell a burglar if your house is empty or not B. are the most important precautions to take to make your home safe
C. will stop a potential burglar D. will not stop an intruder if he has decided to try and enter your home 3. Gaining entry to a house through a small window _______. A. is surprisingly difficult B. is not as difficult as people think C. is less likely to happen than gaining entry through a door D. is tried only by very determined burglars 4 . According to the writer, window locks, security locks and burglar alarms _______. A. cost a lot of money but are worth it B. are good value for money C. are luxury items D. are absolutely essential items 5. The writer argues that fitting a chain and an eye hole _______. A. will prevent your home being burgled B. avoids you having to invite people into your home C. is only necessary for elderly people D. gives you time to check if the visitor is genuine III. Choose the word that best fits each of the blanks in the following passage. Circle A, B, C or D to indicate your answers.
