Acid rain is a general term for rain or other precipitation that (22)............. by chemicals called acids. This environmental problem can pollute lakes, rivers, and streams; damage metals and other construction materials; and (23).............pose a health risk to people. Acid rain forms (24).............certain pollutants, such as sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides, mix with tiny droplets of water vapour in the atmosphere. Power plants are the main source of pollutants causing acid rain. Smoke from factories, exhaust fumes from automobiles and trucks, and even gases given off by chemical fertilizers also put pollutants into the air. The pollutants change the clean, fresh water to droplets of acid. These acids fall to the ground as rain, snow, or sleet. Even fog can contain acids. Rain normally contains some naturally occurring acids, (25).............are not considered a problem. However, sulphuric and nitric acids in rain are a problem.

One of the greatest natural catastrophes the world will ever see could be little more than a decade away. The film Super volcano traces the evolution of an enormous volcanic eruption - one that not only wipes out several states of America but that threatens the entire planet. But is such an eruption really possible? Well, super volcanoes certainly aren't fiction. They're a normal part of the way the Earth works and occur perhaps every 50,000 years. Every statistic associated with a super-eruption is always wildly over-exaggerated. Molten magma is blasted out at a rate 140 times greater than the flow of water over the Victoria Falls. Ash and gas are thrown more than 50km upwards to the edge of space before falling over one percent of the Earth's surface. Enough ash would pile up on the ground to bury Britain under a blanket 4m thick. Further, devastating winds carrying burning gas and red hot ash would scour the land surface over an area of 10,000 square kilometres. Worst of all, a super-eruption is followed by a dramatic fall in global temperatures, leading to years and years of bitter cold known as a volcanic winter.
We understand from the passage that the film Super volcano -----.
A) gives a convincing and credible account of an imminent super-eruption
B) has attracted a great deal of attention in the scientific world
C) has aroused little interest among the general public
D) focuses on the horrors of a volcanic winter
E) presents a futuristic account of the effects of a volcanic super-eruption
Despite their declaration of intellectual independence from the past, Enlightenment

a great deal to the thinkers of the past.
B) Contrary to what they thought about the past,Enlightenment thinkers were much influenced by
those who had come before them.
C) Even though Enlightenment thinkers openly claimed that intellectually they were free from the
past, they were greatly indebted to those thinkers who had preceded them.
D) The past never aroused any interest in Enlightenment intellectuals, although they were
essentially inspired by the thinkers of the past.
E) Although Enlightenment intellectuals took no interest in the past, they were much involved in
the study of their predecessors’ ideas.
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.
51. The reading passage mainly discusses ----.
A) the historical background of superstitions
B) the psychological motives behind superstitions
C) the history of a particular superstition
D) the superstitions in ancient Europe
E) the rabbit’s foot and its relationship with another superstition

In 1764, there was a serious quarrel over taxation between the British government and its colonies in
America. The British government continued to think
of the colonists as British subjects. In 1700, there had
been only 200.000 colonists, but by 1770 this number
rose to 2.5 million. Obviously, such large numbers
needed to be dealt with carefully. Some American
colonists decided that it was not lawful for the British
government to tax them without their agreement.
Political opinion in Britain was divided. Some felt that
the tax was fair because the money would be used to
pay for the defence of the American colonies against
French attack. But several important politicians
agreed with the colonists that there should be “no
taxation without representation”. Hence, in 1773, at
the port of Boston, a group of colonists threw a
shipload of tea into the sea rather than pay tax on it.
The event became known as “the Boston Tea Party”.
The British government responded by closing the
port. But the colonists then decided to prevent British
goods from entering America until the port was
opened again. The colonists’ action was regarded as
a rebellion, and the British government decided to
defeat it by force. Thus, the American War of
Independence got underway. The war lasted from
1775 until 1783. The British government had no
respect for the colonists’ fighting ability. The result
was a disastrous defeat for the British forces. At the
end of the war, Britain lost all the American colonies
except Canada.
It is stated in the passage that, within a period of almost three quarters of a century, ----.
A) Britain and France got into a fierce competition in
order to colonize a very large part of America
B) Britain lost the war against the American
colonies and had to grant their independence
C) Canada grew demographically well ahead of the
other American colonies
D) Britain’s trade with the American colonies
reached a level well above all expectations
E) the population of the American colonies
increased to more than ten times the original
number
We were ___ about our chances of winning.

The most significant political change in eastern
communism in
East and
the most prosperous of the Soviet satellite countries,
stagnation and environmental degradation. Waves of
East Germans registered their discontent with
worsening conditions by massive illegal emigration to
the West. This exodus together with evidence of
widespread official corruption led to the resignation of
Honecker. His successor, Egon Krenz, promised
reforms, but he was nevertheless faced with
continuing protests and continuing mass emigration.
In the end, on 4 November 1989, the government, in
a move that acknowledged its powerlessness to hold
its citizens captive, opened its border with
Germans to travel to the West. In a matter of days,
the Berlin Wall, which had been the embodiment of
the Cold War, the Iron Curtain, and the division of
East from West, was demolished by groups of
ordinary citizens. Jubilant crowds from both sides
walked through the gaping holes that now permitted
men, women, and children to take the few steps that
symbolized the return to freedom and a chance for
national unity.
It is stressed in the passage that the Berlin Wall ----.
A) had been built by the East German government
in order to prevent any access to West Berlin
B) not only divided East and West, but also, more
importantly, symbolized the Cold War and the
Iron Curtain
C) signified both the powerlessness of Honecker’s
government and the failure of his economic
policies
D) would have been demolished even if East
Germany had retained communism
E) gave rise to a great many ideological
controversies between East and West Germany
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.
It is clearly stated in the passage that ...............
A) antibodies are the bacteria found in contaminated food
B) antibodies have a vital role in fighting Hepatitis A
C) the scientists are still trying to find the vaccine against Hepatitis A
D) the vaccine of Hepatitis A provides only a short-term prevention
E) older children are affected by Hepatitis A less severely

In England, transportation had improved a great deal during the years before 1830, but moving heavy
materials, particularly coal, remained a problem. It is therefore significant that the first modern railway, built in 1825 for the transportation of coal, ran from the Durham coal field of Stockton to Darlington near the coast. Coal had traditionally been transported short distances via tramways, or tracks along which horses pulled coal carts. The Stockton-to-Darlington railway was a logical extension of a tramway, designed to answer the transportation needs arising from constantly expanding industrialization. The man primarily responsible for the design of the first steam railway was George Stephenson, a self-educated engineer who had not learned to read until he was seventeen. The locomotives on the Stockton-Darlington line travelled at fifteen miles an hour, the fastest rate at which machines had yet moved goods overland. Soon they would move people as well,transforming transportation in the process.
It is pointed out in the passage that the primary aim in the contruction of the Stockton-Darlington railway was to ----.
A) give George Stephenson an opportunity to demonstrate his engineering skills
B) enable people to travel more comfortably and cheaply
C) transport more goods overland so that the costs could be much lower
D) make the transportation of coal more efficient for the industry
E) get rid of the use of horses in the transportation of heavy materials

One characteristic property of a gas is its compressibility, that is, its ability to be squeezed into a smaller volume by the application of pressure. By comparison, liquids and solids are relatively incompressible. The compressibility of gases was first studied quantitatively by Robert
Boyle in 1661. When he poured mercury into the open end of a J-shaped tube, the volume of the enclosed gas decreased. Each addition of mercury increased the pressure on the gas, decreasing its volume. ----
A) It is true that gases are composed of molecules whose size is negligible compared with the
average distance between them.
B) While studying the composition of air, John Dalton concluded in 1801 that each gas in a
mixture of unreactive gases acts as though it were the only gas in the mixture.
C) According to Newton, the pressure of a gas was due to the mutual repulsions of the gas particles,
that is, gas molecules.
D) The Swiss mathematician and physicist Daniel Bernoulli suggested in 1738 that molecules of
gases move faster at higher temperatures.
E) From such experiments, he formulated the law now known by his name and called “Boyle’s law.”
