Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is English. Two - thirds of the worlds science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers - Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number of nonnative users than any other language in the world.

Also called levis or denims, jeans have an interesting story. The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of pants developed. In the 16 th century, sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore a unique tyle of cotton trousers. In French, the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes, this name became attached to the trousers and developed into the word jeans. Similar to the word jeans, the word denim is also derived from a place name. In the 17th century, French sailors began making trousers out of a specialized type of cloth that was developed in the city of Nimes, France and was known serge de Nimes. This name eventually developed into denim, the material which jeans are made and an alternative name for these popular pants. The word levis came from a person. In the 19th century, Levis Strauss tried to sell heavy canvas to miners taking part in the hunt for gold in northern California. He intended for this canvas to be used by miners to make heavy-duty tents. This first attemp was a failure but he later found success when he used the canvas to make indestructible pants for the miners. He changed the fabric from brown canvas to blue denim, creating a style of pants that long outlived him and is now referred to by his name. 61. All of the following are mentioned in the passage about Genoa except that it A. was the source of the word jeans B. is in Italy C. has a different name in French D. is a landlocked city 62.

Its sign was a triangle a three sided figure. Today the word delta means the triangular group of islands at the mouth of a river. Delta are formed by the rivers themselves. Large rivers may carry sand and fine soil as they sweep towards their mouths. Near their outlets, rivers usually slow, and can less easily carry their burdens.

This not only provided more abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot of ground. We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms we know today. As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organise their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ, Thus, an extract made from a heart-shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems.

Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our present knowledge of drugs and their uses. 46. What does this passage mainly discuss? A. Cures from plants. B. The beginning of natural history. C. Prehistoric man. D. Early plants and animals. 47. Domestication of plants and animals probably occurred because of .

Interpreting is not only a mechanical process of converting one sentence in language A into the same sentence in language B. Rather, its a complex art in which thoughts and idioms that have no obvious counterparts from tongue to tongue _ or words that have several meanings must be quickly transformed in such a way that the message is clearly and accurately expressed to the listener. At one international conference, an American speaker said, You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear, which meant nothing to the Spanish audience. The interpretation was, A monkey in a silk dress is still a monkey _ an idiom the Spanish understood and that expressed the same idea. There are 2 kinds of interpreters, simultaneous and consecutive. The former, sitting in a separated booth, usually at a large multilingual conference, speaks to

listeners wearing headphones, interpreting what a foreign language speaker says _ actually a sentence behind. Consecutive interpreters are the ones most international negotiations use. They are employed for smaller meetings without sound booths and headphones. Consecutive interpretation also requires two-person teams. A foreign speaker says his piece while the interpreter, using a special shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was said. 56. What is the purpose of the passage? A.

The least cavity-causing way to eat sweets is to have them with meals and not between. The number of times you eat sweets rather than the total amount determine how much harmful acid the bacteria in your saliva produces. But the amount of sweets influences the quanlity of your saliva. Avoid, if you can, sticky sweets that stay in your mounth a long time. Also try to brush and floss your teeth after eating sugary foods. Even rinsing your mouth with water is effective. Whenever possible, eat foods with fiber, such as raw carrot sticks, apples, etc... that scrape off plaque, acting as a toothbrush. Cavities can be greatly reduced if these rules are followed when eating sweets. 46. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. A healthy diet B. Food with fiber C. Sweets and cavities D. Tooth decay 47. What can be concluded from the passage about sweets? A. All sweets should be avoided. B. It is better to eat sweets a little at a time throughout the day. C.

The fatsoluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good source of these vitamins have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the bodys fatty tissues. In the diet, fats cause food to remain longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten. Fats add variety, taste and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of fried foods. Fatty deposits in body have an insulating and protective value. The curves of the human female body are due mostly to strategically located fat deposits. Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not definitely known. When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes inflamed and scaly and their reproductive systems are damaged. Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and hence are called essential fatty acids. They are also required by a number of other animals, but their roles in human beings are debatable. Most nutritionists consider linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for humans. 56.

Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frames of an object, each slightly different than the preceding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw the different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer will produce the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as computer-assisted animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.

In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequence of pictures. These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that define the objects in the pictures as they exist in mathematical space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information. Highly trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees of realism involves computer techniques for three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures. High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special color terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a single frame. It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen. A camera can be used to film directly from the computer's display screen, but for the highest quality images possible, expensive film recorders are used. The computer computes the positions and colors for the figures in the picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes, however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder. Once this process is completed, it is repeated for the next frame. When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the film must be developed before the animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right, the motions must be corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive and time consuming. Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images. 46. What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss? A. The production process B. The equipment needed C. The high cost D. The role of the artist 47.

Animation involves a wide range of technical and artistic skills. Questions 56 - 65. Read and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to flee. Natural selection has acted in a variety of ways in different species to enhance the efficacy of the behaviours, known as "flight behaviours" or escape behaviours that are used by prey in fleeing predators. Perhaps the most direct adaptation is enhanced light speed and agility. Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so we might expect only some species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy. Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic and unpredictable way. Many species, like ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a characteristic zigzag fashion. Rapid unexpected changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to track prey. In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective in the presence of predators that are faster than they are and straight light more effective against predators that are slower. One observation that supports this suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded gulls, which are normally able to escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent changes in flight direction when they spot a peregrine falcon ( peregrines are adept at capturing flying birds). A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash" behaviour. Here, the alarmed prey flees for a short distance and then "freezes." Some predators are unexcited by immobile prey, and a startling flash of activity followed by immobility may confuse them. "Flash" behaviour is used in particular by frogs and orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit immobile. In some species, "flash" behaviour is enhanced by the display of bright body markings. Good examples of insects with colourful markings are the red and yellow underwing moths. At rest, both species are a cryptic brown color. When they fly, however, brightly coloured hind wings are exposed, which render the moths highly conspicuous. Similarly, some frogs and lizards have brightly coloured patches or frills that may serve a 'flash" function when they move quickly. Some species even appear to possess "flash" sounds. The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when they jump may serve to emphasize the movement. 56. The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to........... A. encourage B. resist C. increase D. reveal 57. The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement is........... A. reliable B. fast C. constant D. unpredictable 58. It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare......... A. is faster than most of its predators

The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of....... A. gazelles B. European hares C. peregrine falcons D. frogs 60. It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for which of the following reasons? A. The falcons are faster than the gulls. B.The gulls want to capture the falcons. C. The falcons are unpredictable. D.The gulls depend on the falcons for protection. 61. The word "alarmed" is closest in meaning to.......... A. moving B. selected C. frightened D. exhausted 62. All of the followings are mentioned as characteristics of " flash" behaviour EXCEPT........... A. brief conspicuous activity B. immobility C. bright body markings D. aggressive fighting 63. The phrase "in particular" is closest in meaning to........... A. especially B. with difficulty C. expertly D. frequently 64. The hind wings of red and yellow underwing moths function in a way that is most similar to........... A. the hind wings of peregrine falcons B. the zigzag flight of European hares C. the colored patches on frogs D. the clicking of grasshoppers 65. Why does the author mention "grasshopper" in the last line? A. To contrast animals that "flash" with animals that "freeze". B. As an example of an animal whose "flash" behaviour is a sound. C. To compare the jumping behaviour of insects and reptiles. D. As an example of a predator that moths escape by using "flash" behavior. Questions 66 - 70.

The very first vertebrates, or animals with backbones, of which we have any fossil record, lived in the water. These vertebrates, the fish, were adapted to underwater living. Their streamlined bodies were covered with scales to reduce surface friction: they had muscular tails so that they could swim swiftly in such a dense medium as water; and they were endowed with gills for breathing underwater. Descendants of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and accommodated themselves to life on land. As amphibians, they possessed limbs instead of fins and lungs instead of gills. But they never became completely free of the bonds that tied them to the water; even today many amphibians return to the water to lay their eggs. Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types of land dwellers appeared; these animals gave rise to the present-day reptiles and mammals. They were more completely converted for land dwelling, with bodies and biological activities far different from those of fish. With these special adaptations, mammals have been able to colonize the woods and meadows, the deserts and high mountains, often far removed from the sea. 61.

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. 51.With what topic is the passage primarily concerned? A. the influenza virus B. immunity to disease C. bacteria D.chemical molecules 52.According to this passage, bacteria are A. poisons B. very small C. larger than viruses D. plants 53.The word themselves refers to A. molecules B. bacteria C. substances D. viruses 54.The word strictly could best be replaced by A. unusually B. completely C. broadly D. exactly 55.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 56.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. 57.The word unlimited could be best replaced by which of the following? A. very small B. very large C. very similar D. very different 58.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. 59.The author names all of the following as characteristics of pandemics except A. they spread very quickly. C. they are regional outbreaks. B. they are caused by type-A virus. D. they occur once every ten years. 60.The word strains is closest in meaning to A. theories B. injuries C. varieties D. weakness TEXT 2. :The three phases of human memory are the sensory memory , the shortterm memory, and the long term memory.

During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a large number of reform movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of alcohol, and, most importantly, to free the slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady, Stanton and Lucy Stone were feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and blacks. A number of male abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Philips, also supported the rights of women to speak and participate equally with men in antislavery activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered

women a previously denied entry into politics. They became involved primarily in order to better their living conditions and the conditions of others. When the Civil War ended in 1865, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women.

In 1869 the Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but eastern states resisted more stubbornly than before.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80. Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees homes and offices. For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising

25

annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published The Portable Executive as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasnt telecommuting become more popular ? Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the managers responsibilities. It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office. 71. With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned ? A. The advantages of telecommuting. B. A definition of telecommuting. C. An overview of telecommuting. D.

The word them in line 11 refers to A. systems B. telecommuters C. executives D. responsibilities 77. The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees A. need regular interaction with their families. B. are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office. C. feel that a work area in their home is away from the office. D. are ignorant of telecommuting. 78.

IV. Read The following passage and choose the best answer: 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. 51.With what topic is the passage primarily concerned? A. the influenza virus B. immunity to disease C. bacteria D.chemical molecules 52.According to this passage, bacteria are A. poisons B. very small C. larger than viruses D. plants 53.The word themselves refers to A. molecules B. bacteria C. substances D. viruses 54.The word strictly could best be replaced by A. unusually B. completely C. broadly D. exactly 55.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 56.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. 57.The word unlimited could be best replaced by which of the following? A. very small B. very large C. very similar D. very different 58.How does the body react to the influenza virus? E. It prevents further infection to other types and strains of the virus. F. It produces immunity to the type and strain of virus that invaded it. G. It becomes immune to types A, B, and C viruses, but not to various strains within the types. H. After a temporary immunity, it becomes even more susceptible to the type and strain that caused the influenza. 59.The author names all of the following as characteristics of pandemics except I. they spread very quickly. C. they are regional outbreaks. J. they are caused by type-A virus. D. they occur once every ten years. 60..The word strains is closest in meaning to A. theories B. injuries C. varieties D. weakness TEXT 2. The three phases of human memory are the sensory memory , the shortterm memory, and the long term memory. This division of the memory into phase is based on the length of time of the memory. Sensory memory is instantaneous memory. It is an image or memory that enters your mind only for a short period of time; it comes and goes in under a second. The memory will not last longer than that unless the information enters the short-term memory.

28

Information can be held in the short-term memory for about twenty seconds or as long as you are actively using it.If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will stay in your short-term memory as long as you keep repeating it.Once you stop repeating it, etheir it is forgotten or it moves into long-term memory. Long-term memory is the huge memory tank that can hold idies and images for years and years. Information can be added to your long-term memory when you actively try to put it there through memorization or when an idea or image enter your mind on its own. 61.

According to the passage, when will information stay in your short-term memory? A. For as long as twenty minutes. B. As long as it is being used C. After you have repeated it many times. D. When it has moved into long-term memory. 66. The word keep in line 9 could be best replaced by ................. A. hold B. continue C. retain D. save 67. The word once in line 9 could be best replace by................ A. Just after B. Although C. Just before D. because 68. All of the following are true about long-term memory EXCEPT that ............. A. it has a very large capacity B. it can hold information C. It is possible to put information into it through memorization. D. memorization is the only way that information can get there. 69.

But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called 'synchronized sound' began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone ( may hat), which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence. In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization ( s ng b hoa ). Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us 'talking pictures'. 71.

From the seeds themselves to the machinery, fertilizers and pesticides - The Green Revolution regimen depend heavily on technology. One (91) alternative , however, depends much (92) less on technology - organic farming. Many organic farmers use machinery, but (93) not chemical fertilizers or pesticides. (94) Instead of chemical soil enrichers, they use animal manure and plant parts not used as food -,natural,organic fertilizers that are clearly a renewable (95) source . Organic farmers also use alternatives (96) to pesticides; for example they may rely on natural predators of certain insect pests. (97) If the need arises, they can buy the eggs and larvae of these natural predators and introduce them into their crop fields. They use (98) other techniques to control pests as well, like planting certain crops together because one crop repels the other's pests. Organic farmers do not need a lot of land;(99) in fact organic farming is perfectly (100) suited to small farms and is relatively inexpensive.

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of

exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking and diplomacy. Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is English. Two - thirds of the worlds science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers - Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number of nonnative users than any other language in the world. 61.

Health risks are the inevitable result. Pesticides can run off into nearby streams, where they are carried from their original dispersal site. This is how pesticides end up in drinking water, fish and game. And because of wind, rain, and evaporation, residues routinely show up in animals in the remostest parts of the world. For example, if grain fields on rough lands are sprayed with pesticides, residue can show up in poultry, eggs, milk, and butter. The end result is that every food we eat carries pesticides as the inevitable consequence of spraying crops with these poisons. And human exposure doesnt even end there residue are transferred from mother to child through the placenta and mothers milk. 66.

Also called levis or denims, jeans have an interesting story. The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of pants developed. In the 16th century, sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore a unique type of cotton trousers. In French, the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes, this name became attached to the trousers and developed into the word jeans. Similar to the word jeans, the word denim is also derived from a place name. In the 17th century, French sailors began making trousers out of a specialized type of cloth that was developed in the city of Nimes, France and was known serge de Nimes. This name eventually developed into denim, the material which jeans are made and an alternative name for these popular pants.

The word levis came from a person. In the 19th century, Levis Strauss tried to sell heavy canvas to miners taking part in the hunt for gold in northern California. He intended for this canvas to be used by miners to make heavy-duty tents. This first attempt was a failure but he later found success when he used the canvas to make indestructible pants for the miners. He changed the fabric from brown canvas to blue denim, creating a style of pants that long outlived him and is now referred to by his name. 61.

This not only provided more abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot of ground. We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms we know today. As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organise their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ, Thus, an extract made from a heart-shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems. Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our present knowledge of drugs and their uses. 46. What does this passage mainly discuss? A.

Interpreting is not only a mechanical process of converting one sentence in language A into the same sentence in language B. Rather, its a complex art in which thoughts and idioms that have no obvious counterparts from tongue to tongue _ or words that have several meanings must be quickly transformed in such a way that the message is clearly and accurately expressed to the listener. At one international conference, an American speaker said, You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear, which meant nothing to the Spanish audience. The interpretation was, A monkey in a silk dress is still a monkey _ an idiom the Spanish understood and that expressed the same idea. There are 2 kinds of interpreters, simultaneous and consecutive. The former, sitting in a separated booth, usually at a large multilingual conference, speaks to listeners wearing headphones, interpreting what a foreign language speaker says actually a sentence behind. Consecutive interpreters are the ones most international negotiations use. They are employed for smaller meetings without sound booths and headphones. Consecutive interpretation also requires two-person teams. A foreign speaker says his piece while the interpreter, using a special shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was said. 56. What is the purpose of the passage? A.

The fatsoluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good source of these vitamins have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in

the bodys fatty tissues. In the diet, fats cause food to remain longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten. Fats add variety, taste and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of fried foods. Fatty deposits in body have an insulating and protective value. The curves of the human female body are due mostly to strategically located fat deposits. Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not definitely known. When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes inflamed and scaly and their reproductive systems are damaged.

People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding was to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle". The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils dung, dung cu. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example. if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way. if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop. The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers. empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.

58

It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources. 76. What is the main topic of the passage?

Read the passage and choose the correct answers. History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called 'synchronized sound' began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone ( may hat), which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence. In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization ( s ng b hoa ). Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us 'talking pictures'. 101.

From the seeds themselves to the machinery, fertilizers and pesticides - The Green Revolution regimen depend heavily on technology. One (91) alternative , however, depends much (92) less on technology - organic farming. Many organic farmers use machinery, but (93) not chemical fertilizers or pesticides. (94) Instead of chemical soil enrichers, they use animal manure and plant parts not used as food -,natural,organic fertilizers that are clearly a renewable (95) source . Organic farmers also use alternatives (96) to pesticides; for example they may rely on natural predators of certain insect pests. (97) If the need arises, they can buy the eggs and larvae of these natural predators and introduce them into their crop fields. They use (98) other techniques to control pests as well, like planting certain crops together because one crop repels the other's pests. Organic farmers do not need a lot of land; (99) in fact organic farming is perfectly (100) suited to small farms and is relatively inexpensive. Finally, many organic farmers' average yields compare favorably with other farmers' yields.
