Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 36 Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life. In some modern countries it has, for some time, been fashionable to think that by free education for all – whether rich or poor, clever or stupid – one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough, we find in such countries a large number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our house, we should get terrible diseases in your towns. In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to our brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society. 33. The writer wants to prove that _____________. A. our society needs all kinds of jobs. B. our society needs free education for all C. a farmer is more important than a professor D. people with high education refuse to do what they think “low” work 34.

A. work with hands is dirty and shameful B. work with hands is low work C. work with hands is the most important D. we can’t regard work with hands as low work 35.

A. to choose a system of education B. to prepare children mainly for their future work C. to let everyone receive education fit for him D. to build a perfect world 36.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 78. A recent investigation by scientist at the U.S. Geological Survey shows that strange animals behaviour might help predict earthquake. Investigation found such occurrences within a ten- kilometer radius of the epicenter of a fairly recent quake . Some bird screeched and flew about wildly; dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably. Scientists believe that animals can perceive environmental changes several hours or even days before the mishap. Animals were noted as being restless for several weeks before a Tashkent, Uzbekistan, earthquake. An hour before the disaster , domestic animals refused to go indoor .In 1960, an earthquake struck Agadir in Moscow. Survivors recall that stray animals , including dogs, were seen streaming out of town before the earthquake. Ina safari zoo near San Francisco, lamas would not eat the evening before a 1979quake, and they ran around wildly all night. Unusual animal behavior preceding earthquakes has been noted for centuries .British Admiral Robert Fitzroy reported huge flocks of screaming seabirds over Concepcion, Chile , in 1835. An hour and a half later dogs were seen fleeing and ten minutes later the town was destroyed . Similar stories of chickens running around in apparent state of panic, horses trembling , and dogs barking incessantly were recorded throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by survivors of earthquake destruction in India, and the United States. In 1976,after monitor bizarre animal behaviour, the Chinese predicted a devastating earthquake . Although hundreds or thousands of people were killed , the government were able to evacuate million of other people and thus keep the death toll at a low level. 71. What prediction may be made by observing animal behavior ? A. An impending earthquake. B. The number of people who will die. C. The ten- kilometer radius from the epicenter. D. The fact that an earthquake has occurred. 72.The author implies that animals are aware of an impending earthquake because…. A. of their superior intelligence. B. they are certain instinctive abilities to perceive that human do not possess. C. they are generally closer to the epicenter than the human observers. D. they react to other animal behavior. 73.The word “evacuate” is closest meaning to… A. remove B. exile C. destroy D. emaciate. 74.All of the following are true EXCEPT A. some animals may be able to sense an approaching earthquake . B. by observing animal behaviour scientists perhaps can predict earthquake . C. the Chinese have successfully predicted an earthquake and saved many lives. D. only dog and horses seem to possess the special prediction that allows them to predict earthquake. 75.The word “epicenter” is nearest in meaning to … A. stratosphere B. contour C. periphery D. core . 76.The passage implies that if scientists can accurately predict earthquake, there will be … A. fewer animals going crazy B. a lower death rate. C. fewer people evacuated D. fewer environmental changes . 77.The word “devastating” means most nearly the same as … A. destructive B. voracious C. intense D. forthcoming. 78.The main idea of the passage is that ….
