Champagne, the king of wines and wine of kings, tastes all the better when it is drunk from an elegant, fine-quality glass. That, however, is only one of thousands of ways glass is used today. And for all those different uses, many different types of glass are produced. Glass products are manufactured in different ways. Today, glass is blown by hand in the traditional way which the Roman first developed, but now this work is done by robots, too. Generally, in industry, much faster methods of mass production are needed. Often, for example, glass is pressed into the necessary shape by machine. Glass is shaped in other ways too. For example, it is made into long, very thin fibres. Fibres like these are required to make the fibre-opitic cables that help to build the information SuperHighway around the world. 61.

But perhaps this kind of intuition isnt as hard to explain as it may seem. For instance, people give out body language signal all the time. The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood. If you hold your arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that you are being defensive. Holding your head to one side shows interest in the others, while an easy, open posture indicates that you are self-confident. All this affects the way you feel about someone. Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone. This may be because of something as simple as the fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly.

Your feeling about a stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you were happy as a child.

It was believed that in a free nation where the power belongs to the people, the commitment to education defines the progress of that democracy and is the catalyst for future progress. This core value has not only stood the test of time but has also grown in importance. In this new Information Era and international economy, education is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of chance. It is importance to recognize, however, that we approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didnt require the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled; and 60 percent as unskilled. Today, our world has changed. The proportion of unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce. Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime. 51. Education is defined in this passage as a driving force of chance because ........................ A. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far. B. the government of the United States wants to drive social changes in their own ways. C. education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce. D. any American citizen who wants to changes his driving licence must be very welleducated. 52.

A. always appear brilliant-looking in public B. have often been well-exposed to light C. have acquired an adequate level of education D. bring light to anywhere they go 54. In order to become a good American citizen today, in the authors point of view, any individual must ........................ A. know well all his/her rights and be ready to grasp his/her opportunity of success in life B. study carefully the history of American educational and vocational systems even since their creation C. understand thoroughly the combination of academic knowledge and practical skills D. move actively forward in the new Information Era and international economy with a prestigious diploma 55.

I just want to introduce the next area well cover: the food chain. Food chains are divided into three types. The first one is the predator( [predt(r)]: dong vat an thit) chain, in which larger animals feed on smaller ones, such as when a bird eats a fish. The second is the parasite chain, in which smaller animals live off larger ones, such as a tapeworm living in a eats intestines. And the third type is the saprophytic chain in which a micro-organism feeds off dead matter. In each type of chain, potential energy is lost at each level. Lets take the example of a green plant. It gets energy from the sun by photosynthesis, but can use only about 2 or 3 percent of the energy that falls on it. The plant is then eaten by a rabbit, but the rabbit can use only about 10 percent of the potential energy of the plant. The rabbit is then eaten by a fox, which can use about 12 - 15 percent of the energy from the rabbit. And finally, the fox is eaten by a mountain lion. As you can see, at each step the percentage of energy obtained increases, but all in all, a great deal of energy is lost at each step. Thats all for today. Read the next chapter in your books. Well go on with more about the food chain next time. 76. What is the major topic of this lecture? A Predators in the animal world. B Divisions of the food chain. C The loss of potential energy in predators. D A parasitic chain. 77. Which of the following is an example of a predator chain? A. A bird eating a fish. B A rabbit eating grass. C A tapeworm living in an animal. D A plant using energy from the sun, 78. How much of the potential energy from the sun can a plant use? A 2 - 3 percent. B 10 percent. C 12 - 15 percent. D More than 15 percent. 79. What happens at each step of the food chain? A. A plant uses energy. B Animals kill other animals. C Potential energy is lost. D A micro-organism feeds off dead matter. 80. What is eaten in a saprophytic chain? A. A green plant. B Dead matter. C A smaller animal. D A rabbit. P N

Japanese young today study English for six years at junior and senior high school, but very little can speak it by the time they graduate. If the Japanese want to acquire practice oral skills, they have to do a conscientious effort by themselves as going abroad or taking English conversation classes in their private country. In Japan, grammar is emphasized too much at Japanese high school, and there is no balance with the speaking language. People study English mainly for passing exams. They're so tied to grammar teaching in the textbooks that they find spoken English naturally very difficult. They should consider English more as a means of communication than of a science. SECTION B: READING I. Read the text and choose the best answer to each of the questions below Scientists have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause the disease in animals. In addition, man can catch the disease from animals. In fact, a great number of wild birds seem to carry the virus without showing any evidences of illness. Some scientists conclude that a large family of influenza viruses may have evolved in the bird kingdom, a group that has been on the earth 100 million years and is able to carry the virus without contracting the disease. There is even convincing evidence to show that virus strains are transmitted from place to place and from continent to continent by migrating birds. It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time. The result of such recombination is a great variety of strains containing different H and N spikes. This raises the possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus from a lower animal to produce an entirely new spike. Research is underway to determine if that is the way that major new strains come into being. Another possibility is that two animals influenza strains may recombine in a pig, for example, to produce a new strains which is transmitted to man. 1. According to the passage, scientists have discovered that influenza viruses __________ A. cause ill health in wild animals. B. do not always cause symptoms in birds. C. are rarely present in wild birds. D. change when transmitted from animals to man. 2. What is known about the influenza virus? A. It is first found in a group of very old birds. C. It existed over 100 million years ago. B. All the different strains can be found in wild birds. D. It can survive in many different places. 3. According to the passage, a great variety of influenza strains can appear when__________ A. H and N spikes are produced. B. Animal and bird viruses are combined. C. Dissimilar types of virus recombine. D. Two viruses of the same type are contracted. 4. New strains of viruses are transmitted to man by __________ A. a variety of means. B. diseased lower animals. C. a group of migrating birds. D. a type of wild pig. 5. It can be inferred from the passage that all of the following are ways of producing new strains of influenza EXCEPT A. two influenza viruses in the same animal recombining. B. two animal viruses recombining in a human. C. two animal viruses recombining. D. animal viruses recombining with human viruses. II.

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. Of the animals with backbones, the first to appear were A. mammals B. fish C. amphibians D. birds 62. Fish are suited to underwater life because of their A. scales B. gills C. streamlines shape D.

Every word on a label describing a food, a drug, a cosmetic or a medical device is important in protecting you and your family from buying an inferior product, from misusing a good one, from being tricked by dangerous quackery, or from unknowingly possessing an item harmful to health. A label must not be misleading. This restriction is somewhat vague and therefore cannot prevent all violations. Although the government tries to eliminate all misleading labels, the consumer must nevertheless be always on guard.

It is the law, too, that manufacturers must list their names and places of their business on their labels. Manufacturers must use common names in identifying their products so that anyone can readily understand what he is buying. Synthetic foods must be prominently labeled as artificial. Food composed of two or more ingredients must bear labels listing all ingredients in the order of predominance. 46. According to the article, the main purpose of a label is to ____.

Charles Eliot, taking over at Harvard in 1869 at the age of 35, pioneered a break with the traditional curriculum. The usual course of studies at American universities emphasized classical and humanistic courses, classical languages, mathematics, ethics and rhetoric; and each institution prescribed a rigid program of required courses. Under Eliots leadership, Harvard dropped most of its required courses in favour of an elective system and increased its course offerings to stress the physical and social sciences, the fine arts and modern languages. Soon other institutes in all sections of the country were following Harvards lead. Eliot was also influential in bringing about important reforms in professional education. He renovated the Harvard medical and law schools,
