W: Yes For the first time ever the scientific community has established the existence of planets outside our own solar system Of course we knew that certain distant stars existed, but only recently did we learn that several of them are orbited by their own planets M: Why did it take so long to locate these planets? W: Well, you have to understand that they are a billion times dimmer than their parent stars It would be like trying to see the light of a candle next to a huge explosion We don't currently have a telescope that can be used to see them M: But if the astronomers didn't see the planets through a telescope, how did they find them? W: By a very indirect method The astronomers measured subtle distortions in the frequency of the light from the parent stars and observed that some of the stars seem to rock back and forth They determined that this was caused by gravitational pull from orbiting planets M: There is a powerful new telescope being built in Arizona Will that help them see these planets? W: They should be able to see them at least in the form of small spots of light And then the scientist will be able to break down and analyze this light By doing this, they hope to learn about the chemical composition of these planets – oxygen and ozone molecules, for example, would be telltale signs of life on these planets M: I'm looking forward to hearing more when the telescope is in operation And I'm sure our readers would be interested too 31 What is the purpose of the conversation?

W: Well, I've been really worried It's my car It's in the shop, again! M: Really? What's wrong this time?

W: He said he'd call me with an estimate later on today M: Watch out he doesn't try to take advantage of you W: What you mean?

(A) Reproduction in echinoderms (B) How fish avoid their enemies (C) The form and life cycle of starfish (D) The feeding habits and digestive systems of starfish 44 What does the speaker say about the skin of echinoderms? (A) It consists of a protective film (B) It is covered with scales (C) It can be shed easily (D) It is covered with sharp bumps 45 Why does the speaker give the example of a hub of a wheel surrounded by spokes? (A) To explain how a starfish reproduces (B) To illustrate the shape of a starfish (C) To demonstrate the defense mechanisms of starfish (D) To show how larvae change into adult starfish 46 What happens if a starfish loses an arm? (A) It generates a new one (B) It cannot swim (C) It is easily caught (D) It dies soon afterward 47 What is the major difference between newly developed and adult starfish? (A) Their diet (B) The shape of their bodies (C) Where they feed (D) Their method of defense Questions 48-50 Listen to part of a talk in the United States history class The professor is discussing the Civil War Last time we outlined how the Civil War finally got started I want to talk today about the political management of the war on both sides, the north under Abraham Lincoln and the south under Jefferson Davis An important task for both of these presidents was to justify for their citizens just why the war was necessary In 1861, on July 4th, Lincoln gave his first major speech, in which he presented the northern reasons for the war It was, he said, to preserve democracy Lincoln suggested that this war was a noble crusade that would determine the future of democracy throughout the world For him, the issue was whether or not this government of the people, by the people could maintain its integrity, could it remain complete and survive its domestic foes? In other words, could a few, discontented individuals, and by that he meant those who led the southern rebellion, could they arbitrarily break up the government, and put an end to free government on earth? The only way for the nation to survive was to crash the rebellion At the time, he was hopeful that the war wouldn't last long, and the slave owners would be put down forever But he underestimated how difficult the war would be It would be harder than any the Americans had thought before or since, largely because the north had to break the will of the southern people not just by its army But Lincoln rallied northerners to a deep commitment to the cause They came to perceive the war as a kind of democratic crusade against southern society 48 What is the talk mainly about? (A) Advantages of the North in the Civil War (B) Civilian opposition to the Civil War (C) Reasons to justify fighting the Civil War (D) Military strategy used in the Civil War 49 What does the speaker imply was the purpose of Lincoln's speech? (A) To suggest changes to government structure (B) To criticize the practice of slavery (C) To convince the South to surrender (D) To inspire Northerners to support the war 50 Who were the discontented individuals to whom Lincoln referred in his speech? (A) Leaders of the Southern rebellion (B) Slaves in the Southern states (C) Northern opponents of the war (D) Southern soldiers
