The Mississippi is one of the world’s great continental rivers, like the Amazon in South America, the Congo
in Africa, or the Volga in Europe. Its waters are gathered from two-thirds of the US and, together with
the Missouri, which is its chief western branch, the Mississippi flows some
northern sources in the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of Mexico, which makes it one of the world’s longest
waterways. The Mississippi has been called the “father of waters”. Through all its lower course, it
wanders along, appearing lazy and harmless. But people who know the river are not deceived by its
benign appearance, for they have had many bitter struggles with its floods. They have had to learn that
nothing is to be gained by fighting against the rages of the mighty stream. To control it, Americans have
had to accept some of the river’s own terms and to undertake the patient work of conserving and
rebuilding soil, grasslands and forests, far back where the waters begin to gather.
It is clear from the passage that the sources of
the Mississippi’s waters ----.
A) are so limited that the river seldom causes
flooding along its banks
B) are not as many as those of other continental
rivers in the world
C) need to be conserved to protect the river from
environmental pollution
D) are spread over a great part of the US
E) cannot be ascertained, since the Rocky
Mountains have not been explored fully

The idea that American Indians could have built something resembling a city was so foreign to European settlers that when they encountered the Cahokia Mounds in Illinois in Midwest America, they thought they must have been the work of a foreign civilization: either the Phoenicians or the Vikings. Even today the idea of an Indian city runs so contrary to American notions of Indian life that no Anglo-Saxon American can absorb it. The first person to write an account of the Cahokia Mounds, the earliest and finest city built by Indians, was Henry Bracken bridge in 1811.When he reported his discovery, likening it to Egyptian pyramids, newspapers widely ignored it. He complained of this to his friend, former president Thomas Jefferson, and the word of 'Cahokia' did eventually get around. Unfortunately, most Americans were not very interested. The United States was trying to get the Indians out of the way, not appreciate their history. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 which ordered the relocation of eastern Indians to lands west of the Mississippi was based on the assumption that Indians were nomadic savages with no ability to make good use of land. Evidence of an ancient city, close to the size of Washington, D.C. at that time, would have spoiled the story line.
It can be understood from the passage that during the 1800s —.
A) the general tendency in American society towards the historic cities built by the Indians was one of acceptance
B) eastern American Indians were forced to relocate to pi aces to the east of the Mississippi River
C) most Americans including journalists and presidents were not interested in hearing anything positive regarding American Indians

Although the image of human cave dwellers hunting dinosaurs is well established in fiction, it is far from accurate. People didn't evolve until about 65 million years after the dinosaurs' extinction.

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.
According to the passage, it is hoped that ----.
A) the amount of liquid water on Mars will be
sufficient for life on the planet
B) in the future only Europa will become man’s new
home in the universe
C) one day Earth-like life will be discovered outside
our own planet
D) living beings will be found on one of Jupiter’s
satellites
E) the search for extraterrestrial life in the universe
will never be disrupted

Mine-clearing efforts made more progress last year than ever before. But there is concern about future progress because international support decreased for the first time. The European Commission, the United States and eight other major donors decreased their financing of 'mine action,' which is defined as clearing mines and destroying supplies of them. It also includes mine risk education and survivor assistance. Seven hundred forty square kilometers, an area about the size of New York City, was cleared of mines last year. It is the most land cleared in one year since modern de-mining efforts started in nineteen eighty. Yet the number of reported casualties from landmine explosions was eleven percent higher than in the previous year. Landmines killed at least two thousand people and wounded more than five thousand others last year. About eighty percent of the victims were civilians. What is more, numbers of reported casualties are often less than half of the real number. More than one hundred fifty governments have joined the Mine Ban Treaty, banning the use, production and trade of landmines. Twenty-nine still have to finish mine-clearing within the next few years. But thirteen might not meet that goal.
We learn from the passage that the concern about mine-clearing ----.
A) has decreased due to increasing
international interest
B) has proved to be baseless
C) has resulted from diminishing support
D) has vanished thanks to the Mine Ban
Treaty
E) will never be made public

The 16th century in England is generally known as the Tudor period, which historically lasted from 1485 to 1603. Among the famous Tudor sovereigns were Henry VII, Henry VIII, and Elizabeth I. In fact, the early years of the Tudor period were marked by significant changes in trade and in the arts of war. Henry VII made commercial treaties with European countries. Economically, England, which had always been a sheep-raising country, was by now manufacturing and exporting significant amounts of
cloth. As lands were enclosed to permit grazing on a larger scale, people were driven off the land to the cities, and London grew into a metropolitan market with sophisticated commercial institutions. These changes had an impact on the traditional feudal social order, which also began to decline; also, due to the introduction of cannons and firearms, the feudal system of warfare became obsolete. Yet, it would be a mistake to imagine these changes as sudden and dramatic. In fact, it was a slow and long process whereby England was transformed into a modern state.
It is pointed out in the passage that the changes
that took place in Tudor England ----.
A) were fundamentally inspired by the social and economic developments already being witnessed in Europe
B) had far-reaching effects on social and economic life
C) were mainly confined to social life and improved
the efficiency of the feudal social order
D) initially resulted from a revision of the traditional arts of war that had depended on the use of cannons and firearms
E) greatly reduced all the political and legal powers that English sovereigns had traditionally enjoyed
and used

Hepatitis A is an enterovirus transmitted by the orofecal route, such as contaminated food. It causes an acute form of hepatitis (inflammation of the liver), does not have a chronic stage, and will not cause any permanent damage to the liver. The patient's immune system makes antibodies against Hepatitis A that confer immunity against future infection. A vaccine is available that will prevent infection from hepatitis A for life. Young children who catch hepatitis A often have a milder form of the disease, usually lasting from 1-3 weeks, whereas adults tend to experience a much more severe form of the disease. They are often confined to bed and minimal activity for about 4 weeks and have to stop their work for from one to three months or longer. Many adults take up to 6-12 months and occasionally longer to recover entirely. Symptoms that may be experienced after the first month or two are low immunity: It is much easier to catch minor infections and for these infections to linger longer than they normally would. Many people experience a slow but sure improvement, over this later period. They are generally able to function fairly normally, still needing more sleep and reduced athletic activity. It is common for recovering patients to experience occasional 'off' days, during which they need to rest more. There is no specific treatment for Hepatitis A. Sufferers are advised to rest, avoid fatty foods and alcohol (these may be poorly tolerated for some additional months during the recovery phase and cause minor relapses), eat a well-balanced diet, and stay hydrated.
According to the passage, a patient recovering from Hepatitis A should ...............
A) do physical exercise every day
B) be kept in quarantine
C) drink as much water as he/she can
D) have fast food and a little wine
E) eat only vegetables and fruit
