however, the black-tie audience treated the occasion more as a social affair than as a sales extravaganza It was also on the first day of this show that William McKinley became the first U.S president to ride in a car The automobile was not invented in the United States That distinction belongs to Germany Nicolaus Otto built the first practical internal-combustion engine there in 1876 Then, German engineer Karl Benz built what are regarded as the first modern automobiles in the mid-1880s But the United States pioneered the merchandising of the automobile The auto show proved to be an effective means of getting the public excited about automotive products By happenstance, the number of people at the first New York show equaled the entire car population of the United States at that time In 1900, 10 million bicycles and an unknown number of horse-drawn carriages provided the prime means of personal transportation Only about 4,000 cars were assembled in the United States in 1900, and only a quarter of those were gasoline powered The rest ran on steam or electricity After viewing the cars made by forty car makers, the show’s audience favored electric cars because they were quiet The risk of a boiler explosion turned people away from steamers, and the gasolinepowered cars produced smelly fumes The Duryea Motor Wagon Company, which launched the American auto industry in 1895, offered a fragrant additive designed to mask the smells of the naphtha that it burned Many of the 1900 models were cumbersome—the Gasmobile, the Franklin, and the Orient, for example, steered with a tiller like a boat instead of with a steering wheel None of them was equipped with an automatic starter These early model cars were practically handmade and were not very dependable They were basically toys of the well-to-do In fact, Woodrow Wilson, then a professor at Princeton University and later President of the United States, predicted that automobiles would cause conflict between the wealthy and the poor However, among the exhibitors at the 1900 show was a young engineer named Henry Ford But before the end of the decade, he would revolutionize the automobile industry with his Model T Ford The Model T, first produced in 1909, featured a standardized design and a streamlined method of production—the assembly line Its lower costs made it available to the mass market Cars at the 1900 show ranged in price from $1,000 to $1,500, or roughly $14,000 to $21,000 in today’s prices By 1913, the Model T was selling for less than $300, and soon the price would drop even further ―I will build cars for the multitudes,‖ Ford said, and he kept his promise 159 Question 45: The passage implies that the audience viewed the 1900 National Automobile Show primarily as a(n) _ A formal social occasion B chance to buy automobiles at low prices C opportunity to learn how to drive D chance to invest in one of thirty-two automobile manufacturers Question 46: According to the passage, who developed the first modern car?

A To explain the importance of invisible aspects of culture B To describe cultural diversity C To point out that much of culture is learned consciously D To explain why cross-cultural conflict occurs Question 56 The word ―deliberately" in paragraph A slowly B accurately C intentionally D randomly 161 is closest in meaning to Question 57 The phrase "the tip of the iceberg" in paragraph means that A other cultures seem cold to us B visible aspects of culture are learned in institutions C we usually focus on the highest forms of culture D most aspects of culture cannot be seen Question 58 Which of the following was NOT mentioned as an example of invisible culture? A What topics to avoid in conversation B What food to eat in a courthouse C How late is considered impolite D.How people express interest in what others are saying Question 59 The word "those" in paragraph refers to _ A people from a different culture B invisible assumptions C people who speak a different language D topics that should be avoided Question 60 It can be inferred paragraph that conflict results when _ A people think cultural differences are personal B people compete with those from other cultures C one culture is more invisible than another culture D some people recognize more cultural differences than others Question 61 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A We are often aware that we are learning about culture B Visible aspects of cultures receive much attention in discussion of cultural diversity C People misinterpret other people's behavior because they know they are experiencing cultural differences D Invisible cultural differences are often witnessed at formal organizations and institutions Question 62 The author implies that institutions such as school and A are aware of cultural differences B teach their employees about cultural differences C reinforce invisible cultural differences D Share a common culture Question 63 The ―exotic‖ in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A colourful B strange C familiar D beautiful Question 64 Which of the following would most likely result in misunderstanding?

many would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrowsunderneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night The surface of the sunbaked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees 45 The title for this passage could be _ A "Desert Plants" B "Life Underground" C "Animal Life in a Desert Environment" D "Man's Life in a Desert Environment" 46 The word "tissues" in the passage mostly means _ A "the smallest units of living matter that can exist on their own" B "collections of cells that form the different parts of humans, animals and plants" C "very small living things that cause infectious disease in people, animals and plants" D "the simplest forms of life that exist in air, water, living and dead creatures and plants" 47 Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole lives in the desert, as _ A sources of flowing water are rare in a desert B water is an essential part of his existence C water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things D very few large animals are found in the desert 170 48 The phrase "those forms" in the passage refers to all of following EXCEPT A water-loving animals B the coyote and the bobcat C moist-skinned animals D many large animals 49 According to the passage, creatures in the desert A run and leap faster than those in the tangled forest B run and leap more slowly than those in the tangled forest C are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest D are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world 50 The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT A they sleep during the day B they dig home underground C they are noisy and aggressive D they are watchful and quiet 51 The word "emaciated" in the passage mostly means A "living or growing in natural conditions, not kept in a house or farm" B "able to get what one wants in a clever way, especially by tricking or cheating" C "large and strong, difficult to control or deal with" D "thin and weak because of lack of food and water" 52 According to the passage, one characteristic of animals living in the desert is that _ A they are smaller and fleeter than forest animals B they are less healthy than animals living in other places C they can hunt in temperature of 150 degrees D they live in an accommodating environment 53 The word 'burrows" in the passage mostly means A "places where insects or other small creatures live and produce their young" B "holes or tunnels in the ground made by animals for them to live in" C "structures made of metal bars in which animals or birds are kept" D "places where a particular type of animal or plant is normal found" 54 We can infer from the passage that A living things adjust to their environment B water is the basis of desert life C desert life is colorful and diverse D healthy animals live longer lives 37.Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C or D in the blanks to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical 171 cycles These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such a region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an increased concentration of noxiouschemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm 55 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A They function as part of a purification process B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants C They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants D They have existed since the Earth developed 60 According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized _ A can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants B can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants C will damage areas outside of the localized regions D will react harmfully with natural pollutants 61 The word "localized" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A specified 172 regions B circled C surrounded D encircled 62 According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if _ A the other substances in the area are known B it is in a localized area C the natural level is also known D it can be calculated quickly 63 The word "detectable" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to A beneficial B special C measurable D separable 64 Which of the following is best supported by the passage?
