Reading comprehension (30 points)Question 41-44Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s cautious giant, understands all this. When Bill Clinton met Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Abdullah this week, Mr. Clinton argued for an output rise big eno ugh to put an end to these painful prices. Prince Abdullah has promised to “make every effort to ensure equilibrium in the oil markets and to stabilise prices.” This week he revealed that Saudi Arabia has been quietly leaking an extra 600,000 barrels per day (bpd) on to the market since July in an effort to cool prices..If that is true, it just goes to show that managing the oil markets is easier said than done. Despite several Saudi-inspired output increases by the cartel in recent months, the price has remained stubbornly high; this week, it soared to nearly $35 a barrel, the highest since theGulf war in 1990. As the cartel’s oil ministers gather in Vienna on September 10th to hammer out new production quotas, they are once again under intense pressure to release more oil, and fast.To hear OPEC members talk, you might think that serious price relief is on the way. There is discussion of “managing” prices down through a newish price mechanism. At the cartel’s meeting in March, ministers quietly agreed a grand new plan to keep oil within a target band of $22-28 a barrel. If the price of a basket of seven OPEC crudes stays below $22 for 20 trading days, the cartel is supposed to cut production by 500,000 barrels a 0ay. If it stays above $28 for 20 trading days, it will automatically raise production by the same amount. This price band has become the main topic of discussion in advance of the upcoming gathering of ministers. Prince Abdullah even talks of a return to a stable market within months.Oil traders and analysts note that the 20-day limit looks likely to be triggered again this week.A new report by Lehman Brothers, an investment bank, echoes the view of many: “Our expectation is that production will be increased by 500,000 bpd, either through the price mechanism or through a separate agreement.” When it released new figures suggesting that domestic oil-stock levels are lower than previously thought, the American government’s Energy Information Administration added that it too expects an increase of that size. Adding support to this theory are mumblings from OPEC delegates in support of the mechanism.Two decades ago, in the year of the cartel’s 20th birthday celeb rations, ministers gathered in Indonesia to hammer out details of a clever new scheme: a mechanism whereby the price of oil would be fixed, and adjusted every quarter automatically for such factors as inflation and currency fluctuations. Members had agreed on the ambitious plan, except for one crucial detail: at what price to start this price-peg crawling. The cautious Saudis, the self-proclaimed guardians of the oil market, wanted a price below $30 a barrel; the hawks in the cartel, unconcerned about consumers’ pain, demanded a much higher price. The ensuing bickering ensured that the scheme collapsed.History may now be repeating itself. When the current price-stabilization scheme was first unveiled, punters with short memories placed big bets that the cartel would adhere to it. By mid-June, the price basket had sailed past the 20-day upper trigger. But OPEC did not “automatically” release 500,000 barrels. Various confused and contradictory explanations surfaced from ministers, but not the oil. Only at their next officially scheduled meeting did they come upwith a meager quota increase.41. The passage confirms thata. high oil prices can be controlled if OPEC increase oil output.b. Bill Clinton accomplished his mission for the visit to Prince Abdullah.c. Abdullah made all his efforts to control oil price without considering the benefits of his own country.d. managing the oil market is easier said than done.42. How many oil price schemes were recommended by OPEC ministers according to the passage?a. Oneb. Twoc. Threed. Four43. What’s the author’s opinion about Saudi Arabia?a. Saudi Arabia is the largest country among the members of OPEC.b. Saudi Arabia is the most active country in OPEC to control oil prices for the benefit of the rest of the world.c. Saudi Arabia is the guardian of the world oil market.d. Saudi Arabia seems to have strong intention to control the oil prices to a acceptable level, but ittakes actions very carefully for the consideration of its own benefit.44. What can you infer from the passage?a. OPEC is, in the most cases, not reliable.b. all the members of OPEC have the intention to lower oil prices when the prices get very high.c. The oil prices are fully controlled by the market and OPEC can do nothing with them eventhough they wish tod. In most cases OPEC has been very efficient in managing oil prices.Question 45-48The horse preceded man on earth. Although the earliest remains of primitive horses have been found on the North American continent, many scientist believe this small species traveled over a land mass in the Bering Sea to found the beginnings of the modern horse in Asia. It became extinct in America. Other scientists believe that the horse may have originated in Asia. In any event the animal soon spread into China, Europe, and the Middle East. The first modern horses to be introduced into the American continent came with the early Spanish explorers. Horses were bred into many types. The heavy horses developed in the low countries of Europe and were used for Arabian. The only true wild horses left in the 20th century are found in Mongolia. Horses are said to rate in intelligence after the ape, elephant, and dog. They have excellent memories and can sometimes find their way home when lost, and sense danger better that their masters. The early civilizations of man that had made use of ht horse developed more rapidly than those which did not.45. Some of the characteristics of the horse are _________a. poor memoriesb. great loyaltyc. more intelligent the dogd. in some areas they can surpass the abilities of man46.

The early horses were larger than the more modern breeds.b. The only true wild horses left in the 20th century are in the Middle East.c. The oldest breed of the modern horse is said to be the Arabian.d. Medieval knights preferred fast, active horses.Questions 49-52Recent intrusions into the lives of public figures have highlighted the lack of laws guarding privacy in Britain. As a result, one issue under discussion as Parliament returns this week is the possible introduction of legislation to curb press powers.The government will probably take no action until it receives a report from a committee chaired by Sir David Calcutt, due in January 1993. the committee is examining whether the press should be regulated by tougher legislation. It is also considering the ways in which the press has invaded the private lives of the famous.The Calcutt committee has reported once before, in 1990. it recommendations led to the creation of the Press Complaints Commission, under which the press was given the chance to regulate itself without the need for a privacy law. It also proposed a new criminal offence of physical intrusion to obtain information for publication.This proposal, which was not acted upon, would have made it unlawful to photograph people on private property to record their conversations without permission. It would have made it an offence to enter a property to place a bug or obtain personal information.The committee said that the press should be allowed to invade the privacy of a public figure only when it was likely to expose or prevent criminal activity, otherwise his or privacy should be left alone. But a general law protecting privacy was rejected.Since then, reports in some newspapers and magazines about people’s private lives have ignored the committee’s recommendations. The private lives of Government Ministers and members of the Royal Family have featured prominently in the press. Photographs of the Duchess of York Sunbathing in France, for example, have been widely published.Some sections of the media justify their intrusion by saying it is in the public interest. In a democracy, they argue, the public has a right to know what people in positions of power are doing. Politicians and others are accountable for their lives. Privacy laws, these critics say, would protect the privileged.Additionally, many politicians use their private lives to gain popular support, for example by parading their families before cameras to emphasized “traditional value”. Hence, some editors say they are justified in prying into private lives to uncover any faults.Likewise, the Royal Family is supported from public funds, and therefore it is argued that its members should lead responsible private lives.49. Which of the following occurred recently in Britain?a. a report from a committee chaired by Sir David Calcutt. B. Intrusion into the lives of public figuresc. Introduction of legislation to cub press powerd. The Government’s action to protect privacy.50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?a. The press has more freedom to publish privacy of the famous after the foundation of the PressComplaints Commission.b. To photograph public figures on public property is legal.c. A privacy law is unnecessary since the press has the ability to regulate itself.d. The Press Complaints Commission was formed out of the press and thus did something in favorof the press51. What kind of people are likely to appreciate the invasion of their private life?a. The members of Calcutt committeeb. royal familyc. pop starsd. somegovernment leaders52. Which is a lawful purpose for intrusion into privacy?a. To disclose criminal activityb. To be in agreement with Privacy Lawc. To gain popular supportd. To protect the privilegedQuestions 53-56When did sport begin? If sport is, in essence, play, the claim might be made that sprot is much older than humankind for, as we all have observed, the beasts play. Dogs and cats wrestle and play ball games. Fished and birds dance. The apes have simple, pleasurable games. Frolicking infants, school children playing tag, and adult arm wrestlers are demonstrating strong, trans-generational and trans-species bonds with the universe of animals past present and future. Young animals, particularly, tumble, chase, run wrestle, mock, imitate, and laugh( or so it seems) to the point of delighted exhaust. Their play, and ours, appears to serve no other purpose than to give pleasure to the players, and apparently to remove us temporarily form the anguish of life in earnest.Some philosophers have claimed that our playfulness is the most noble part of our basic nature. In their generous conception, play harmlessly and experimentally permits us to put our creative forces, fantasy, and imagination into action. Play is release form the tedious battles against scarcity and decline which are the incessant, and inevitable, tragedies of life. This is a grand conception that excites and provokes. The holders of this view claim that origins of our highest accomplishments-liturgy, literature and law-can be traced to play a impulse which, paradoxically, we see most purely enjoyed by young beasts and children. Our sports, in this rather happy, non-fatalistic view of human nature, are more splendid creations of the non-datable, trans-species play impulse.53. The best title for the passage is _________a. Games for Animalsb. The Origins and Meaning of Playc. A Playful View of Modern Philosophyd. The Role of Sport in Child Development54. It seems to the author that young animals play in order to ________a. gain pleasureb. learn specific behavior patternsc. delight their ownersd. exercise their growing muscles55. One may infer from the passage that play is important to adults because it helps them_____a. understand their childrenb. interact more with animals and naturec. channel their creativityd. improve their physical strength56. The word “noble” could best be replace by which of the following?a. snobbishb. wealthyc. royald. admirableQuestion 57-60To ensure similarity in scientific investigation or monitoring, nationally and internationally agreed standards are being introduced. Several systems of documenting experimental methods and procedures are in use today and are becoming increasingly important for indicating data quality and verifying the integrity of studies. One such approach is Good Laboratory Practice which was introduced in 1982 by the Health and Safety Executive to monitor the testing of industrial chemicals. Since 1982 the range of laboratories inspected has been extended to include those working with pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, cosmetics and food additives. Good Laboratory Practice is concerned with the way. laboratory or field studies are planned, monitored, recorded and reported and the conditions under which this occurs. Following the principles of GLP ensures that the studies are properly planned, can be adequately carried out and are fully and accurately reported. As pan ofthe planning, execution and reporting of a study, the various processes carried out are carefully documented as Standard Operating Procedures.The value of long-term observation of environmental factors has only been recognized relatively recently although some monitoring of the environmental factors have been in existence for over a century. The best known long-term study is probably the Broadbalk Experiment at Rothamsted. Broadbalk and the other long-term experiments at Rothamsted and elsewhere are now proving to be extremely valuable by answering questions not considered, nor even conceived, when they were originally set up. Even so they are limited in geographic scope and by the fact that they are confined to one land use category. Current environmental and ecological monitoring networks, while not limited geographically, have in the main been set up to measure just one aspect of the environment. In contrast, the Environmental Change Network (ECN) was set up to give added value to long-term monitoring and data collection by providing a network of sites in different parts of the U.K. and under a variety of land use conditions where comparable long-term data on a wide variety of environmental variables could be recorded.The idea of a network such as ECN was first considered in the mid 1970s but the concept did not reach fruition until 1992. The selection of the initial network of terrestrial sites was based on a range of criteria. One of the most important requirements, given the intended long-term nature of the project, was financial security although consistent quality of research was also required. The project intended that other sites representing more variable climate zones and land use will eventually join the network as funding becomes available.The monitoring carded out at each ECN site covers a range of physical, chemical and biological measurements. Where possible procedures and measurements used by existing national monitoring schemes are employed so that ECN provides an integrating function for the more extensive sectorial networks. Environmental changes due to factors such as climate change are likely to be difficult to identify against the background noise arising from the numerous sources, both natural and man-made, of environmental variability. It is desirable, therefore, to minimize any additional variation due to operator involvement. To this end, and to ensure consistency and repeatability, protocols for each of the key measurements were produced.57. How many experiment(s) was (were) conducted on the monitoring of the environmental factors?a. Unknownb. Twoc. threed. one58. What does the underlined word mean in “One such approach is Good Laboratory Practice which was introduced in 1982 by the Health and Safety Executive to monitor the testing of industrial chemicals?”a. Performanceb. Standardc. Experimentd. Repetition59. Which is the correct description of “ Environment Change Network?”a. It is a network which is expected to provide environmental and ecological data representingmore geographical areasb. It is a current environmental and ecological network to measure only one aspect of theenvironmentc. Environmental Change Network remained functioning until 1992.d. Environmental Change Network was wet up to make long-term monitoring of environmentmore costly60. The passage implies, though it does not explicitly state, that _______ is ( are) the mostpromising approach to the long-term monitoring of environmental factors.a. Broasbalk Experimentb. Good Laboratory Practicec. Environmental Change Networkd. Standard Operating ProceduresCloze (10 points)Until recently most historians spoke very critically of the Industrial Revolution.

It is likely that in excess of 80% of the literally thousands of different basic organic chemicals employed today are derived from these sources.The petrochemical industry has grown with the petroleum industry. As is the case with the latest trends in changing crude oil types, it must also evolve to meet changing technological and humanitarian needs.The manufacture of chemicals from petroleum and natural gas constituents is an excellent example of the conversion of such materials to more valuable products. The individual chemicals made from petroleum and natural gas numerous and include industrial chemicals, household chemicals and paints, as well as intermediates for the manufacture of products, such as synthetic rubber and plastics.The processing of petroleum hydrocarbon to yield materials that are, essentially, the building blocks of other chemicals industries, is now very extensive.The classification of materials such as petrochemicals is used to indicate the source of the chemical compounds, but it should be remembered that many common petrochemicals can be made form other sources, and the terminology is therefore a matter of source identification., Petrochemicals are generally chemical compounds derived from petroleum either by direct manufacture or by indirect manufacture as by-products from the variety of processes that are used during the refining of petroleum. Gasoline, fuel oils, lubricating oils, waxes, asphalts, and the like are excluded from the definition of petrochemicals, since they are not, in the true sense, chemical compounds but are in fact intimate mixtures of hydrocarbons.B级The chemical industry depends very heavily on petroleum and natural gas as sources of raw materials.

Oxygen and nitrogen can be made from other materials, but they are usually obtained from the air because air is so plentiful. Some of the other gases, such as argon, can only be obtained from the air. There is so little carbon dioxide in the air that it is better to obtain it in other ways. The problem, of course, is to find q quick and useful way of separating the gases in the air. Let us read how this is done.We remember how air can be made into a liquid. If the liquid is warmed again, It "boils" and turns back into a gas. Now oxygen does not boil away from liquid air so easily as nitrogen. By careful arrangement of the boiling, it is possible to make the nitrogen turn back into a gas and leave the liquid oxygen behind. The oxygen can be turned into a gas later. In This way the oxygen and nitrogen are separated. The other gases, such as argon, can also be obtained separately by very careful arrangement of the boiling.Questions.Why people usually obtain oxygen and nitrogen from the air?What happens if the liquid is warmed again? Does nitrogen boil easily than oxygen does? Can the nitrogen turn back into a gas?How are oxygen and nitrogen separated? Passage 1l)Because air is plentiful.2)It boils and turns hack into a gas.3)Yes, it does.4) Yes, it can.5)Make the nitrogen turn back into a gas and leave the liquid oxygen behind.Passage 2Scientists call the process of water spreading over a surface wetting.But water doesn't always do a good job of wetting a surface. You've probably noticed this when looking at the surface of a waxed car after a rain. The water sits on the car in tiny beads. That's because the water molecules are strongly attracted to one another. They tend to bunch together which makes them form beads. However, chemicals called surfactants can weaken the attraction of water molecules for one another. (They weaken the surface tension.)So surfactants are put in detergents to allow the water to spread out on a surface. (Lowering surface tension also causes detergents to form suds. But suds aren't a necessary part of the cleaning process. )A detergent molecule has two ends. One end is hydrophilic ("water loving"). That is, it is attracted to water. The other end is hydrophobic. That is, it is repulsed by water, However, this hydrophobic end of a detergent molecule is attracted to substances such as fats. The re suit? With the help of some mechanical action, like scrubbing or tumbling, the hydrophobic end of the detergent molecule drags the fat off the surface to he cleaned while the hydrophilic end pulls the fat into the water. So when the water heads for the drain, down goes the fat with a nice sounding gurgle, leaving a clean dish or even a clean sea bird behind.Questions:How many ends does a detergent molecule have?What happens on a waxed car after a rain? What function do surfactants have?Which end of the detergent molecule pulls the fat into the water?What does the word "hydrophilic" mean? Passage 2A detergent molecule has two ends.The water sits on the car in tiny heads.It can allow the water to spread out on a surface.The hydrophilic end pulls the fat into the water.Hydrophilic is one end of a detergent molecule which is attracted to water.Passage 3Since no one knows what scientific discoveries will be made between now and the year A.D. 2000, each of us can make his own predictions.With the scientific information that we have available now, let’s make and estimate of progress in air travel. It is likely that within 50 years we shall travel through the air at a speed of 10,000 miles per hour. Too fast? Not at all. Jet-propelled planes can now travel at least 1,000 miles an hour, and jet planes will be outmoded shortly by guided missiles. The X—15 rocket's speed in 1561 was 3,690 miles per hour, and scientists are hoping to double and even triple this speed. They will accomplish this speed--up, because there is no apparent scientific obstacle to prevent it.Some day. certain aerodynamic problems will be overcome and missiles will he enlarged to carry at least 25 passengers. When scientists have solved all the problems of constructing and increasing the speed of apparatus--carrying missiles. their skill will lead them to the next step-missiles for interplanetary flight. This prediction is a scientific possibility in the near future.Questions :l) How fast do jet--propelled planes travel now?2)Is it possible for a missile to carry 24 passengers some day?3) In what conditions will scientists invent missiles for interplanetary flight?4)Is there any apparent scientific obstacle for the X--15 rocket’s speed to become 7,380 miles per hour?5)Is it likely that we will travel through the air at a speed of 10,000 miles per hour in 2060?Passage 3l)It can now travel at least 1,000 miles per hour.2) Yes, it is.3)When scientists have solved the problems of constructing and increasing the speed of apparatus-carrying missiles.4)No, there isn't.5) Yes, it is.Passage 4If you live in a large city, you are quite familiar with some of the problems of noise, but because of some of its harmful effects, you may not be aware of its influence on human behavior. In recent years there has been a great deal of interest in the effects of noise on human behavior, and concepts such as "noise pollution" have arisen.Exposure to loud noises can definitely produce a partial or complete loss of hearing depending on the intensity, duration, and frequency composition of the noses. Many jobs present noise hazards, such as working in factories and around jet aircraft, driving farm tractors, and working(or sitting)in music halls where rock bands are playing. In general, continuous exposure to sounds of over 80 decibels can be considered dangerous. If exposure is for a sufficient period of time, it may produce significant hearing loss.Noise can have unexpected harmful effects on performance of certain kinds of tasks, for instance, if one is performing a watch keeping task that requires vigilance, in which he is responsible for detecting weak signals of some kind.Communication with other people is unfavorably affected by noise. If you have ridden in the area of a jet transport, you adjusted the loudness of your speed to compensate for the effect. The problem is noise.Questions:What is the purpose of the passage?What jobs can bring noise problems?Why is it difficult to carry on a conversation in the rear of a jet transport at first?Where are there generally more problems of noise?What is noise pollution?Passage 4The purpose of the passage is to define the effects of noise on human behavior.Jobs such as working in factories and around jet aircraft, driving farm tractors, and working(or sitting)in music halls where rock bands are playing can bring noise problems.Because it is very noisy there.There are generally more problems of noise in large cities.Noise pollution is the harmful influence of noise on human behavior.Passage 5Most teachers agree that the best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in the environment and culture of that language.One way to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan. Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference washeld at the Venus Institute of Technology."We have come to the conclusion, based on last week's satellite landing', Prof.Zog said," that there is no life on Earth. ""How do you know this?" The science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked."For one thing, Earth’s surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide andother deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive. ""What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?""We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than we originally planned. ""Are there any other hazards that you discovered in your studies?""Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud hovering over the surface of Earth? We call this the Consolidated Edison Bell We don't know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there. "'Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink, This means we shall have to carry our own water, which will add even greater weight to the saucer. ""Sir ,what are all those tiny black spots on the photographs?""We are not certain. They seem to be metal particles that move along certain paths. They emit gases, make noise and keep crashing into each other. There are so many of these paths and so many metal particles that it is impossible to land a flying saucer without its being smashed by one. "“What are those stalagmite projections sticking up?""They are some type of granite formations that give off light at night. Prof. Glom has named them skyscrapers since they seem to be scraping the skies. ""If all you say is true, won't this set back the flying saucer program several years?""Yes, but we shall proceed as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds. "‘Prof.Zog, why are we spending billions and billions of zilches to land a {lying saucer on Earth when there is no life there?""Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in an Earth atmosphere, then we can live anywhere.Qutestions:1)What caused the excitement on the planet Venus?2)What led the Venusian scientists to believe that there is no life on Earth?3)What, according to Prof.Zog, will add weight to the saucer?4)Why does Prof. Zog think it impossible to land a flying saucer on Earth without its being smashed?5)What do the "tiny black spots"refer to, in fact?6)The tone of the essay is .7)The purpose of the author in writing this book is .8)What does the "dark cloud”on the photograph allude to(暗指)?Passage 91)For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a atellite on the planet Earthand it has been sending hack signals as well as photographs ever since.For one thing, Earth's surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly letter box and under the door, and smelt something burning.Because she was getting dressed.She was having a bath.She went up to help the old lady clear up the mess.Because the cups crashed to the floor. Passage 8I would like to propose that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening, right after the early evening news, all television broadcastingin the United States be prohibited by law.Let us take a serious, reasonable look at what the results might be if such a proposal were accepted. Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well knownthat many of our problems--everything, in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rateto some forms of mental illness are caused at least in part by failure to communicate. We donot tell each other what is disturbing us. The result is emotional difficulty of one kind or another. By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.On evenings when such talk is unnecessary, families could rediscover more active pastimes. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a ride together to wach the sunset. Or they might take a walk together(remember feet?)and see the neighborhood with fresh, new eyes.With free time and no TV, children and adults might rediscover reading. There is more entertainment in a good book than in a month of typical TV programming. Educators report thatthe generation growing up with television can barely write and English sentence, even at the college level. Writing is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could bea product of the quiet hour.A different form of reading might also he done, as it was in the past: reading aloud. Few pastimes bring a family closer together than gathering around and listening to mother or father read a good story. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the quiet hour ends,the TV networks might even be forced to come up with better shows in order to get us hack fromour newly discovered activities.At first glance, the idea of an hour without TV seems radical. What will parents do with out the electronic baby-sitter? How will we spend the time? But it is not radical at all. Ithas been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time. Those of usthirty--five and older can remember childhoods without television, spent partly with radio- which at least involved the listener’s imagination--but also with reading, learning, talking, playing games, inventing new activities. It wasn't that difficult. Honest. The truth is we had a ball,Questions:What is the writer’s proposal?In part at least, what caused the generation gap, high rate divorce rate and some forms of mental illness problems?According to the author, what could help to turn out a more literate new generation?What effect might the idea of an hour without TV have on the TV networks?What is the main idea of this passage? Passage 81)The proposal is that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening, right after the early evening news, all television broadcasting in the United States he prohibited by law.2)They are caused in part at least by our failure to communicate.3)Turning off TV for an hour every evening.4)They might even be forced to come up with better shows.5) We should show no television programs for about one hour every evening.passage 9There was great excitement on the planet of Venus this week, for the first time Venusian scientists managed Presently there came behind us the sound of a heavy tread, and before you could say "Jack Robinson", a policeman was standing in front of me, his notebook open, and a determined look on his face."Excuse me, sir. "he said, "you have a remarkable voice, if l may say so, Who taught you singing? I'd very much like to find someone who can give my daughter singing lessons. Would you be kind enough to tell me your name and address? Then my wife or l would drop you a line and we could discuss the matter. "Questions:1)When did "the writer and his friend walk home one evening?2)Where had they been?3)Why did his friend ask him to be quiet?4)What did they hear soon?5)Why did the policeman want to know his name and address?Passage 61)Long after most people had gone to bed./Late one evening.2)They had been to a musical.3)Because his friend thought that he would give everybody a fright and wake people up for miles around. Besides, they would think them drunkards.4)The sound of a heavy tread.5)He wanted to ask him to give his daughter singing lessons.Passage 7One evening last week, my wife and I were sitting quietly at home. She was watching TV while 1 was reading a hook. Suddenly we heard a loud band. f supposed that the old lady in the flat above ours was moving the furniture about. My wife was afraid that the noise would make the baby. She turned down the television and a moment later we heard someone calling for help.I ran upstairs. The old lady's door was shut, but I could see smoke coming through the letterbox and under the door, and could smell something burning. "the flat is on fire, "I shouted down to my wife," ring the fire brigade. "I hanged on the door, but the old lady tooka long time to answer. I was turning over in my mind the idea of breaking the door down when she finally appeared."I was having a bath," she said, "when the water heater in the kitchen blew up. ""Why didn't you open the door?' I asked her. "1 was getting dressed when you knoeked, "she said, looking embarrassed.I took her downstairs to our flat. Then I ran back, went inside the old lady’s flat and turned the gas off to prevent another explosion. Smoke was pouring out of the kitchen and the heater was in flames. Just then I heard a ~ire engine arriving outside and the heavy footsteps of the firemen on the stairs. 1 looked round and noticed two of them standing in the doorway.“It’s in here.” I said."You turned up promptly, I must say. "When I got back to our flat, my wife was making the old lady a cup of tea. Soon afterwards, the fire chief came in to ask some questions. It turned out that the fire was not very serious and the firemen were already putting it out when they left, my wife went up with the old lady to help her clear up the mess.When she returned, my wife remarkedz "it's all right now. Nothing was damaged except the heater. But wasn't it lucky that Baby slept through all that noise?"She took the teacups into the kitchen and I heard her scream and the cups crash to the floor. When I got there, water was dripping slowly from the ceiling and forming a pool on the floor. The baby woke up at last and started to cry. Questions1)Why did the author know the flat was on fire?2)Why didn't the old lady open the door?3)What was the lady doing when the water heater in the kitchen exploded?4)Why did his wife go upstairs with the old lady when the firemen left?5)Why did his wife scream?Passage 7He saw smoke coming through the to do is to live with your teacher during your course. The obvious advantage of homestay is that, through the course, you only speak English and you do not meet other students who speak your native language. Also, total immersion in an English- speaking environment helps you avoid picking up common mistakes and 'had' language habits from fellow learners.For most students, however,it is the tailor--made teaching that homestay provides which makes them decide to choose these courses. "People like homestay because it allows them to concentrate on their own weakness. If you have a pronunciation problem, for example, youdon't want to sit in a class with 20 other students discussing how to pronounce a particular word. "At a more personal level, living with the teachers and their families can help you learn about British life and culture.To make sure the environment is right for the individual, it is very important that each student be matched with the right host family. This is the job of homestay organizations, which act as intermediaries between teachers and students through interviews and surveys.The disadvantage to homestay is, obviously, the cost. A two--week course, including full board and 15 hours of classes per week, will cost about $1000. And prices are higher when English for Special Purposes is needed. This means that homestay programs are generally more popular with older students, particularly professionals. The average age is between 17 and 35, and most organizations specially make mature students the targets.At present, homestay programs do not come under any quality guarantee schemes. The British Council and other inspection groups expect that, by the end of 1995, homestay programs will have their own quality scheme. But, as yet, no methods of monitoring and inspection have been agreed upon. This is likely to be a major logistical problem as many operators have hundreds of teachers running course all over the country.

We had been to a musical, and were talking about the people we had seen and heard in it."That show made him a star overnight,' said my friend about one of them. "He was completely unknown before. And now thousands of teenagers send him chocolates and love letters by every post. ""I thought him quite good,' I said, "but not worth thousands of love letters daily. As a matter of fact, one of his songs gave me a pain. ""What was that? "my friend asked. "Sing it to me. "I burst into a parody of the song."Be quiet, for heaven's sake. "My friend had given me an astonished look. "You'll give everybody a fright and wake people up for miles around. Besides, they'll think you a drunkard, and me too, probably. And then we'll have a policeman after us. ""Never mind," I sold, intoxicated more with the sound of my own voice than with the few drinks we had. "I don't care. What does it matter?" And I went on singing him the latest tunes at the top of my voice.breathe this air and survive.They will have to take oxygen and water with them.Because there are so many paths and so many metal particles.Vehicles.Humorous and satirical.The author wishes to call our attention to the fact that modern man has polluted his environment to such an extent that he might destroy himself if he went on like this.The polluted air hovering over the surface of Earth.Passage 10What is intelligence, anyway? When I was in the army I received a kind of aptitude test that all soldiers took and, against a normal of 100, scored 160. No one at the base had ever seen a figure like that and for two hours they made a big fuss over me. (It didn't mean anything, the next day I was still a buck private with KP as my highest duty)All my life I've been registering scores like that, so that 1 have the complacent feeling that I'm highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so, too. Actually, though, don't such scores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are considered worthy of answers by the people who make up the intelligence tests—people with intellectual bents similar to mine?For instance, I had an auto--repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not possibly have scored more than 80,by my estimate.I always took it for granted that I was far intelligent than he was. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car 1 hastened to him withit, watched him anxiously as he explored its vitals, and listened to his pronouncements as though they were divine oracles--and he always fixed my ear.Well then, suppose my auto--repair man devised questions for an intelligence test, or suppose a carpenter did, or a farmer, or, indeed, almost anyone but an academician, By everyone of those tests, I' d prove myself a moron. And I'。
