When Mozambique and South Africa ended their internal problems in the early 1990s, they enacted wide scale amnesties, and in both countries the rule of law quickly improved. In each of them, political leaders opted to move past the violence and injustices of the past and to focus on the tasks of social and political reconstruction. As part of that reconstruction, each country became a multiparty democracy in which the accountability of leaders and other key norms of the rule of law could finally take root. The restoration of public security, meanwhile, allowed the provision of basic services. And though their criminal-justice systems remained woefully underfunded, both were finally able to start providing citizens with basic protections. While the legal, social and political improvements in South Africa between 1994 and 2004 were impressive, in poorer Mozambique, the improvement was smaller but still marked.

In antiquity, prior to the third century B.C., physics had been a branch of philosophy. It was made a separate, experimental science by Archimedes of Syracuse, who lived between 287 and 212 B.C.. He not only discovered the law of floating objects, or specific gravity, but also formulated with scientific exactness the principles of the lever, the pulley, and the screw. Among his memorable inventions were the compound pulley and the screw propeller for ships. Although he has been considered the greatest technical genius of antiquity, in fact he preferred to devote himself to pure scientific research. Tradition relates that he discovered “Archimedes’ principle,” that is, specific gravity, while pondering possible
theories in his bath; when he reached his stunning insight, he dashed out naked into the street crying “Eureka!” (“I have found it!”).
As one understands from the passage, Archimedes was so thrilled by his unexpected
discovery of specific gravity that ----.
A) he immediately announced it to the public in an unusual fashion
B) he described every detail of it to the people with scientific exactness
C) the people in the street joined him in the celebration of his discovery
D) most of his contemporaries regarded it as a perfect example of pure scientific research

The Renaissance originated in Italy for several
reasons. The most fundamental reason was that Italy
in the later Middle Ages was the most advanced
urban society in all of Europe. Unlike aristocrats north
of the Alps, Italian aristocrats customarily lived in
urban centres rather than in rural castles and
consequently became fully involved in urban public
affairs. Moreover, since the Italian aristocracy built its
palaces in the cities, the aristocratic class was less
sharply set off from the class of rich merchants than
in other European countries. Hence, whereas in
France or Germany most aristocrats lived on the
income from their lands while rich town dwellers,
called bourgeois in French, gained their living from
trade, in Italy so many town-dwelling aristocrats
engaged in banking or mercantile enterprises, and so
many rich mercantile families imitated the manners of
the aristocracy that, by the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries, the aristocracy and upper bourgeoisie
were becoming virtually indistinguishable. For
instance, the noted Florentine family of the Medici,
which had emerged as a family of physicians (as the
name suggests), made its fortune in banking and
commerce, and rose into the aristocracy in the
fifteenth century. Obviously, social mobility as such
brought about a great demand for education in the
skills of reading and counting necessary to become a successful merchant, but the richest and most
prominent families sought above all to find teachers
who would impart to their sons the knowledge and
skills necessary in politics and public life.
According to the passage, unlike their French or
German counterparts, ----.
A) medieval Italian aristocrats lived in cities and
mixed with the general public
B) Italian merchants in the Renaissance period
were also engaged in trade north of the Alps
C) distinguished Italian families wished their sons to
become successful merchants
D) the Medici were actively involved in the politics
and diplomatic relations of their time
E) the Italian upper bourgeoisie were strongly
opposed to social mobility
In the 1940s DDT was found to be an excellent way to control insects. It cost little to produce and was not found to harm humans. So it was widely used for people and crops. But then it was found that DDT stayed in the environment for many years. It thinned the shells of unborn birds and led to health problems for other animals. So the support for the common use of it was ended. But now again the use of DDT in homes is supported to control malaria, as indoor spraying is useful to quickly reduce the number of infections caused by malaria-carrying mosquitoes. DDT presents no health risk when used correctly. But it should be used only inside houses and huts, not outside and not for agriculture use. Malaria sickens five hundred million people and results in more than one million deaths every year. Each day, an estimated three thousand babies and young children die from it. The large majority of deaths are in Africa, south of the Sahara. But critics of DDT argue that DDT is not as effective as people might think. For instance, some African mosquitoes have already developed resistance to it. It seems that DDT should be only one tool among many for insect control.
According to the passage, one advantage of DDT was thought to be its ----.
We learn from the text that the use of DDT in homes is recommended again ----.
A) because it has become cheaper all over the world
B) despite the opposition of leading health authorities
C) as a new and more effective type of it has been introduced to the market
D) because of its ability to fight malaria effectively
E) since five hundred million babies have died of malaria

Superstitions grow out of man's attempts to explain the unknown. When man disproves the old belief, and some still cling to the belief, it becomes a superstition. In Western Europe, prior to 600 B.C., man considered rabbits to be sacred, because of their belief that spirits inhabited the bodies of animals, and also because of their belief that man directly descended from some of these animals. Later, the ancient European Celts adopted portions of the older belief, that rabbits were sacred, and that spirits inhabited their bodies. The Celts, based upon the fact that these animals spent an inordinate amount of time in their underground burrows, held the belief that the rabbits' bodies were inhabited by underground spirits with whom they communicated. Another reason the Celts held the rabbit to be sacred, was because of their prowess in the field of reproduction. Since the rabbit itself was considered to be lucky, it follows that any of its body parts would also be considered lucky. People selected the rabbit's foot for good luck.

The Copernican revolution began over 500 years ago with the realization that the Earth was not the centre
of the universe, but we still await its grand finale: the anticipated discovery of life elsewhere. Where else
might we find life? The vast scale of the universe makes it virtually certain that there are other Earthlike
settings. In our own solar system, Mars’s distance from the Sun makes it sufficiently Earth-like;
so, especially with increasing evidence for occasional liquid water, many are looking there for the first signs
of extraterrestrial life. Recently, however, a new contender has emerged, and surprisingly it is from
the cold outer solar system: it is Jupiter’s moon Europa. As one of the four satellites of Jupiter,
discovered by Galileo in 1610, Europa is now believed to have water in a liquid state, even though
it is so far from the Sun. Thus, the possibility of liquid water on Europa has opened the door to speculation
about life on this satellite of Jupiter.
One clearly understands from the passage that, until Copernicus in the sixteenth century, ----.
A) Mars had generally been regarded as the planet
with life on it
B) the search for life elsewhere in the solar system
had been futile
C) it had been commonly believed that the centre of
the universe was the Earth

In 1993, Frances Rauscher and her team published a scientific paper that changed the world. She had taken a number of students and randomly divided them into three groups. One group listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, the second group heard a standard relaxation tape, and the third sat in silence. Everyone then completed a standard test of spatial intelligence. Those who had listened to Mozart scored far higher than those in the other two groups. Journalists reported the findings, with some exaggerating the results, declaring just a few minutes of Mozart led to a substantial, long-term increase in intelligence. The idea spread, some reporting that even babies became brighter after listening to Mozart. But when other scientists tried to replicate Rauscher's results, they concluded that the effect, if it existed, was much smaller than was first thought. For instance, Glenn Schellenberg had children learn keyboard skills, have voice training, take drama classes or, as a control, do nothing. Clear IQ improvements were observed in children who were taught keyboard skills or given voice lessons, whereas those given drama lessons were no different from the control group. It seems that the focused attention and memorization required in certain tasks, not just listening to Mozart, helps children's self-discipline and thinking.
In the passage, in view of the results of Glenn Schellenberg's experiment, if children get taught keyboard skills and voice skills —•.
A) they are likely to perform better in their drama lessons at school
B) they may experience an improvement in their intelligence
C) their self-discipline and thinking will suffer greatly
D) their need for musical training and practice will be met
E) they will require more focused attention and memorization
