SECTION 3: READING

I Rearrange the following five paragraphs.

A One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simplybecause reading aloud is a distraction to others Examination that factors related to the historicaldevelopment of silent reading reveals that it became the usual mode of reading for most adultreading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character

B By the end of the century students were being recommended to adopt attitudes tobooks and to use skills in reading them which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oralreader The social, cultural, and technological changes in the century had greatly altered whatthe term “reading” implied

C Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars ofthe classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteen century the term “reading”

4

undoubtedly meant reading aloud Only during the nineteen century did silent reading becomecommonplace.

D Towards the end of the century there was still considerable argument over whetherbooks should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading ofmaterial such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening Indeed this argumentremains with us still in education However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literary culturehad gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books andperiodicals for a specialized readership on the other

E The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy, and thus in the number ofreaders As readers increased, so the number of potential listeners declined, and thus there wassome reduction in the need to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew lesscommon, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places aslibraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to otherreaders

III Read the two passages and choose the best answer to the questions or to complete the statements

PASSAGE 1:

A pilot cannot fly by sight alone In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing

in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating Since human eyes are notvery good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearbyplanes are moving The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one

shouts in a cave The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of

the cave With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves Radio wavestravel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second A radar set sends out ashort burst of radio waves Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce offobjects By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trainedtechnician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects The word “radar”,

in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging” “Ranging” is the term fordetection of the distance between an object and the radar set Besides being of critical

importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for

tracking weather systems and storms

B the term “ranging” used for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set

C the time it takes for the radio waves to produce echoes and bounce off the object

D the time it takes for the echoes produced by the radio waves to return to the radar set

7 Which type of waves does radar use?

PASSAGE 2:

Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, butthe car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today Several newtypes of automobile engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources ofpower, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane.Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available.

Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of

electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeledneighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys

As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utilityengineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new

cars Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations Public

parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices thatallow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert To encouragethe use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might bereserved for electric cars

Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting

at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting Commuters will be able to

rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small

cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on

automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried byfreeway today

1 The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage EXCEPT

2 The author’s purpose in the passage is to

A criticize conventional vehicles

B support the invention of electric cars

C narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles

D describe the possibilities for transportation in the future

3 The passage would most likely be followed by details about

A automated freeways B pollution restrictions in the future

C the neighborhood of the future D electric shuttle buses

4 The word “compact” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to

A long-range B inexpensive C concentrated D squared

5 In the second paragraph, the author implies that

A a dependable source of electric energy will eventually be developed

B everyday life will stay much the same in the future

C a single electric vehicle will eventually replace several modes of transportation

D electric vehicles are not practical for the future

6 According to the passage, public parking lots of the future will be

A more convenient than they are today B equipped with charging devices

C much larger than they are today D as common as today’s gas stations

7 The word “charging” in this passage refers to

A electricity B credit cards C aggression D lightning

8 The word “foresee” in this passage could best be replaced with

9 The word “commuters” in paragraph 4 refers to

A daily travelers B visitors C cab drivers D shoppers

10 The word “hybrid” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

Question I Read the passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each

sentence.

Hundreds of thousands of persons each year fall prey to some type of cancer, but new methods of radiation therapy have enabled doctors to save more lives than ever before Medical researchers have developed several experimental forms of this time –honored cancer treatment that seem effective in fighting the disease.

One promising approach involves exposing cancer cells to radiation by implanting a radioactive source directly into the malignant tissue This process greatly increases the

dosage and thus the effectiveness of the treatment Another technique utilizes drugs to make cancer cells more susceptible to the effects of radiation and to make normal cells more resistant Certain drugs are able to neutralize the genetic framework of cancer cells, thus making them more easily affected by radiation Both techniques have seen some positive results in the treatment of inoperable brain tumors.

These and other methods have helped to raised the recovery rate for cancer victims from 30 percent 40 years ago to around 50 percent today This is encouraging news for those who fall prey to one of the world’s leading killers.

Question II For question from 1 – 5, read the following text carefully and then choose from the list A- I the best phrase given below to fill each of the spaces Each correct phrase may only be used once Some of the suggested answers do not fit at all The exercise begins with an example ( 0 ).

MODERN ENGLISH

Imperceptibly, during the 18th century, English loses the most noticeable remaining features

of structural difference ( 0 ) I By the end of that century, with but a few exceptions, the spelling, punctuation, and grammar are very close to ( 1 ) If we take an essay

by William Hazlett ( 1775 – 1830 ) or a novel of Jane Austen ( 1775 – 1817 ), for example, we can read for pages ( 2 ) We would find the vocabulary somewhat unfamiliar in places, the idiom occasionally unusual or old-fashioned, the style elegant or

quaint, and we might feel that the language was in some indefinable way characteristic of a previous age : but we do not need to consult a special edition or historical dictionary at every turn ( 3 ) Jane Austen makes demands on our modern linguistic intuitions which seem little different from those required by Catherine Cookson or PD James.

However, despite this apparent continuity, the language at the end of the 18th century

is by no means identical to what we find today Many words, though spelt the same, had a different meaning.

( 4 ) we would also notice several differences in pronunciation, especially in the way words were stressed And an uninformed modern intuition would achieve only a superficial reading of literary texts of the period In reading a novel of the 1990s, we can make an immediate linguistic response to the social and stylistic nuances introduced into the text, ( 5 ) we recognise the differences between formality and informality, or educated and uneducated; we can sense when someone is being jocular, ironic, risquÐ, archaic or insincere We can easily miss such nuances in the writing of the early 19thcentury, especially in those works which take the manners of contemporary society as their subject That world is more linguistically removed from us than at first it may appear.

A in order to understand the text.

B that deceive in its apparent continuity.

C because the context often enables us to see the intended sense.

D what they are today

E because we are part of its age

F when we know it had an additional meaning at that time

G if we had tape recordings of the time

H before a point of linguistic difference might make us pause

I which distance the Early Modern English period from us

Your answers:
