For a long time the only people who really gave the problem their attention were amateur inventors And they came up against a major difficulty That is, housework is actually very complex It has never been one job it has always been many A factor robot (23) one task endlessly until it is reprogrammed to something else It doesn’t run the whole factory A housework robot on the other hand, has to several different (25) of cleaning and carrying jobs and also has to cope (26) all the different shapes and positions of rooms, furniture, ornaments, cats and dogs (27) , there have been some developments recently Sensors are available to help the robot locate objects and avoid obstacles We have the technology to produce the hardware All that is missing the software- the programs that will operate the machine Question 15: A managed B succeeded C made D given Question 16: A carries over away B carries out C carries off D carries Question 17: A systems B types C ways D methods Question 18: A from B with C by D for Question 19: A However B Therefore C Besides D Moreover NEIGHBOURS INFLUENCE BUYING DECISIONS However objective we believe ourselves to be, most of us not judge a product solely on its merits, considering quality, value and style before making a decision (34) , we are easily influenced by the people around us There is nothing wrong with this It is probably a smarter way to make decisions than (35) on only our own opinions But it does make life hard for companies They have long understood that groups of friends and relatives tend to buy the same products, but understanding the reasons has been tricky It is because they are so similar with (36) _ to how much money they make and what television ads they watch that they independently arrive at the same decision? Or they copy one another, perhaps (37) envy or perhaps because they have shared information about the products? Research in Finland recently found overwhelming evidence that neighbours have a big influence on buying decisions When one of a person’s ten nearest neighbours bought a car, the chances that that person would buy a car of the same brand during the next week and a half (38) by 86 per cent The researchers argued that it was not just a matter of envy Used cars seemed to attract neighbours even more than new cars This suggested that people were not trying to keep up with their neighbours, they were keen to learn from them Since used cars are less reliable, a recommendation of one can strongly influence a buying decision Question 34: A What’s more B Instead C Unlike D In place Question 35: A basing B trusting C supposing D relying Question 36: A connection B regard C relation D concern Question 37: A for B as to C out of D about Question 38: A boosted B rose C enlarged D lifted However, few (31)…… have been made to investigate the phenomenon scientifically Now, with the completion of the largest ever study of the sodcalled staring effect, there is impressive evidence that this is a recognizable and (32)…… sixth sense The study involved hundreds of children For the experiments, they sat with their eyes covered and with their backs to other children, who were told to either stare at them or look away The results consistently showed that the children who could not see were able to (33)……… when they were being stared at In a total of 18.000 trials (34)…… worldwide, the children (35)…… sensed when they were being watched almost 70% of the time Q31 A tries B attempts C tests D aims Q32: A genuine B accepted C received D sure Q33: A notice B find C reveal D tell Q34: A worked through B worked over C carried on D carried out Q35 A thoroughly C exactly D perfectly B correctly From the seeds themselves to the machinery, fertilizers and pesticides - The Green Revolution regimen depend heavily on technology One (17) , however, depends much more on technology - organic farming Many organic farmers use machinery, but (18) _ chemical fertilizers or pesticides (19) chemical soil enrichers, they use animal manure and plant parts not used as food - natural, organic fertilizers that are clearly a renewable (20) _ Organic farmers also use alternatives for pesticides;

Scientists aren’t exactly sure, but research points to a complex (33) between genes and environment While no exact set of “leftie genes” have been discovered, people who dominantly use their left hands have more left-handed family members And researchers have found different brain wirings in righties vs lefties But no matter (34) it is that drives someone to use their antipodal paw, science has also uncovered a particular set of personality traits that left-handed people tend to have So for all of you lefties, leftie-loving righties, and ambidextrous folks out there - it’s time to brush up on your left-handed knowledge and help (35) an end to leftie discrimination once and for all Question 31: A consist B account C hold D make Question 32: A causes B makes C gets D does Question 33: A collaborate B collaboration C collaborating D.collaborated Question 34: A which B who C what D that Question 35: A put B bring C make D take 12 British families started going on holiday to the seaside around the middle of the 19th century The invention of the railways made this possible The first holidaymakers were quite rich and went for their health and education The seaside was a place to be (31) of illnesses, and doctors recommended bathing in the sea and drinking sea water Also to increase their knowledge, families attended concerts and read books from libraries At that time, ordinary working people had very little time (32) However, in 1871, the government introduce four “Bank Holidays” – national holiday days This allowed people to have a day or two out, which now and then gave them a taste for leisure and the seaside At first they went on day-trips, taking (33) of special cheap tickets on the railways By the 1880s, rising incomes meant many ordinary workers and their families could have a week’s holiday at the seaside Rail fares were reduced and cheap hotels were built to (34) them Holidaymakers enjoyed being idle, sitting on the beach, bathing in the sea, and eating ice-cream Cheap entertainment was (35) offer and holidaymakers went to have fun Today, the English seaside remained popular, with more than 18 million holidays taken there each year Question 31: A recovered B cured C improved D remedied Question 32: A out B off C from D away Question 33: A opportunity B benefit C profit D advantage Question 34: A cater B board C lodge D accommodate Question 35: A for B on C in D to 13 Why is it that many teenagers have the energy to play computer games until late at night but can’t find the energy to get out of bed (39) for school?
