The English word geography means, “ to describe the earth ” . 26 Geography books focus on a small area 27 a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an 28 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another 29 to divide the study of 30 is to distinguish between physical geography andcultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the 31 starts with human beings and 32 how human beings and theirsubject, 33 branch can neglect the other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, 34 branch can neglect the other.A geographer might be described 35 one who observes records and explainsthe __36_between places.

For each question there are four choices. Choose the best answer to each question. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Banks are ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that abank is not sound, that it cannot pay off its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not payall the accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be funds to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks anticipated a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller had enough funds in hand to pay off as many depositors as mightapply. The officers simply instructed the tellers to pay on demand. Next morninga crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the lineconvinced many that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began topush and then to fight for places near the tellers ’ windows. Clothing was torn and limbs were broken, but the jam continued for hours. The power of the panic atmosphere is evident in the fact that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was soundand could pay out all depositors, nevertheless withdrew the funds in their ownaccounts. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty restraining herself from doingthe same.41.A bank run occurs when __________.A.a bank is closed for one or more daysB.too many depositors attempt to draw out their money at one timeC.there is not enough money to pay all of its depositors at one timeD.employees of a bank take their own funds out of the bank42. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’ s bank were told to __________.A. explain why they could not pay out all depositsB. pay out deposits as requestedC. assure customers that the bank was soundD. pay out money as slowly as possible43. The essential cause of a run on a bank is __________.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of sufficient fundsC. crowds of peopleD. inefficient tellers44. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught sayA. She knew that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many withdrawals would close the bank.C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money.45. According to the passage, the actions of the customers of Mrs. Vaught ’ s bank were influenced chiefly by the __________.A. ease with which they could obtain their moneyB. confidence demonstrated by other customers of the bankC. confidence that Mrs. Vaught demonstratedD. failure of several other banks to openPassage TwoQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Gravity holds us so dose to the Earth's surface that nobody can jump more than afew feet into the air without the force of gravity pulling him down. It takes apowerful engine to keep an airplane up in the air. If you throw a ball upwards ashard as you can, you will notice that it travels in a curved path before it comesback to the ground. If the Earth had no gravity, the ball, instead of traveling ina curve, would move away in a straight line; in fact, it would never come back tothe ground. If the Earth were to lose its pull of gravity, we should all fly offit as it spins round in space. The Earth has a strong pull, but modemrockets going out into space are able to escape from the gravity, because they travel so quickly. With the ball thrown into the air, the height reached by the ball depends upon howhard it is thrown. The greater the starting-speed, the higher the ball will go. Ifit could be thrown so that it traveled fast enough, the ball would escape into space and never come back. Nobody can throw a ball as fast at this, but powerful rocketengines can send spaceships away from the Earth at such a speed that the Earth'sgravity is not able to pull them back. This is how we can now send rockets to theMoon.46.Gravity holds us dose the Earth's surface, and as a result, __________.A. we can lift ourselves no more than a few feet above the EarthB. nobody can jump a few feet into the airC. no one will be pulled downD. any one of us can Jump as high as expected47. What would happen to a ball thrown upwards if there were no gravity？A. It would spin round in space.B. It would fly off into spaceC. It would fall into a curved path.D. It would move towards the Earth.48.The ball thrown into the air would never come back to the ground __________.A. without such a powerful horizontal pushB. if it were thrown upwards as hard as you can49. The height the ball will reach depends on __________.A. the escape velocityB. the limiting velocityC. its starting velocityD. its traveling speed50. What is it that makes it possible to put a spaceship into orbitA. the Earth's gravityB. a strongpullC. a powerful engineD. the powerful rocket enginePassage ThreeQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Does a bee know what is going on its mind when it navigates its way to distant foodsources and back to the hive, using polarized sunlight and the tiny magnet it carriesas an aid Or is the bee just a machine (Unable to do its mathematics and dance itslanguage in any other way to use Donald Griffin ’s term) Does a bee have “ awareness ”, or to use a phrase I like better, can a bee think and imagineThere is an experiment for this, or at least an observation,made long ago by Karl Von Frisch and more recently confirmed by James Gould at Princeton, biologists who wish to study such things as bees to fly from the hive to one or another specialplace. To do this, they begin by placing a source of sugar very close to the hiveso that the bees can learn what the game is about. Then, at regular intervals, thedish or whatever is moved progressively farther and farther from the hive.Eventually,the target is being moved 100 feet or more at a jump, very far from the hive. Sooner or later, while this process is going on, the geologists shifting the dish of sugar will find the bees are out there waiting for them precisely where the next position had been planned. This is an uncomfortable observation to make.51. Which of the following is the best title for the passage？A. The Bee Hive: Nature’ s Candy ShopB. Testing the Awareness of BeesC. Navigational Techniques of Birds and InsectsD. Behaviorists Versus Biologists: A Zoological Debate52. In the second paragraph why is Karl Von Frisch mentioned？A. To introduce his observation on bee behavior.B. To contrast his theories with those of James Gould.C. To give credit to his description of the bee hive.D. To support the argument that bees use sunlight to navigate.53. According to the author, why was sugar used in the study？A. To keep the bees nourished and healthy during the experiment.B. To train the bees to travel to a particular place.C. To reward the bees for performing the experiment correctly.D. To ensure that the bees did not sting the scientists.54. The result of the experiment explained in the passage seems to indicate whichof the following？A. Research using bees is too dangerous to be conducted successfully.B. Bees are unable to navigate beyond 100 feet of their hive.C. Scientists can teach bees to speak to people.D. Bees are able to perform limited reasoning tasks.55. Which of the following best describes the format of the passage？A. a response to criticismB. a comparison of two competing theoriesC. a question followed by a possible answerD. a position supported by scientific debateSection 2Directions: Read the following passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (A) or false (B). Then blacken the corresponding letter （ A or B） on the Answer Sheet.
