Deserts have been portrayed as fascinating environments of adventure and exploration. These arid regions are called deserts because they are dry. They may be hot. They may be cold. They may be regions of sand or vast areas of rocks with occasional plants. Deserts are natural laboratories in which to study the interactions of wind and sometimes water on the arid surfaces of planets. They contain valuable mineral deposits that were formed in the arid environment or that were exposed by erosion. Because deserts are dry, they are ideal places for human artifacts and fossils to be preserved. Deserts are also fragile environments.

Penicillin has already been discovered and used to treat infections; there have been many remarkable advances in medicine that have helped to increase our average life expectancy way beyond that of our ancestors. Incredible innovations such as television have changed the way we spend our leisure hours. Perhaps the most important breakthrough, however, has been the microchip. Nobody could have imagined, when it was first invented, that within a matter of years, this tiny piece of silicon and circuitry would be found in almost every household object from the kettle to the video recorder. And nobody could have predicted the sudden proliferation of computers that would completely change our lives, allowing us to access information from the other side of the world via the Internet or send messages around the world by e-mail at the touch of a button. Meanwhile, research into other aspects of information technology is making it easier and cheaper for us to "talk to friends and relations around the world. 1. What period saw more changes in technology than in previous two hundred years? A. 1800-1850 B. 1850-1900 C. 1900-1950 D. 1950-2000 2. Thanks to advances in medicine we now........than our ancestors. A. live shorter B. live longer C. die faster D. die more 3. Which of the following can't the computer help us........? A. access information B. do homework C. cook meals D. send messages *Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following information Western people rely on technical and mechanical solutions in everything they do. Refrigerators preserve their food, washing machines clean their underwear and computers are supposed to solve all their problems. When they are ill, they rely on the surgeon's knife. If their hearts are running down, then they must be repaired; if they cannot be repaired, they should be replaced, just as an old car sometimes gets a new engine. But up to now we have had a shortage of donors to give their hearts: to keep one person alive, another donor had to die. 9 Nowadays there is more and more talk about using monkeys. Every monkey has a near-human heart, and humans have always been over careful in respecting the lives and well-being of other animals. This includes the life and well-being of other humans. Therefore, in the early years of the 21 st century - I was told - the mass killings of monkeys may occur. We'll need to use their hearts for human consumption. Monkeys, on the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives, Homo Sapiens, or man. They know fear, of course, and they face real dangers, but they are also more intelligent than us. They create no unnecessary dangers for themselves; they run no businesses, chase no money, are unimpressed by gold - that utterly useless metal, and they do not care at all about hell or evil spirits. I have a vague feeling that it is not monkeys' hearts that we ought to implant in ourselves, but monkeys' brains. 4. According to the author, Westerns believe health problems can be solved by ……. A. spending more money on scientific research B. taking more precautions C. using technical or mechanical methods D. increasing the number of doctors 5. The problem with heart transplants has been that......... A. artificial hearts do not work very well B. there are not usually enough donors C. some of the heart honors are too old D. many people die after the operations 6.

This biodiversity is being lost destroying natural mechanisms that could repair the damage caused by man. Findings show that losing plants and animals is not only reducing our quality of life but actually endangering our very existence. We cut down rich rainforests and replace them with one species plantations, such as pine and eucalyptus. We plough up meadows rich in different grasses and herbs and replace them with one grass, for instance rye or wheat. 13 When a natural ecosystem is simplified the basic processes in the ecosystem are altered and even damaged. Without their biodiversity they are not able to serve as the natural cleaners of our planet. No longer are they able to absorb the carbon dioxide that is being produced in excess. The result is global warming, caused by the increase in the "greenhouse effect", and ultimately, or even sooner, there will be a change in the world's climate. 1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. How Ecosystems Work Better B. The Loss of Biodiversity C. The Variety of Species D. Natural Mechanisms 2. Which of the following is NOT a species used to replace a rich ecosystem? A. Herbs B. Pine C. Eucalyptus D. Rye 3. What, according to the passage, might be the final result of the simplification of natural ecosystems? A. The basic processes are altered. B. There is loss of biodiversity. C. There is global warming. D. There is a change in the climate. *Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following information BUNGEE JUMPING Have you ever heard of bungee jumping? To do a bungee jump you jump from a high bridge, or some other high place, with just a rubber rope tied around your ankles. When the rope goes as far as it can, you are pulled back towards the bridge. Then you fall down and come up again. This goes on again and again until the rope finally stops moving and you hang in the air, upside-down. Then you are pulled back up to the bridge. If there is a river below the bridge, you will be allowed to reach the water slowly, where a boat picks you up. The first bungee jump took place in Queenstown, in New Zealand, on 12 November 1988. Since then, almost half a million people have tried it and Queenstown has become famous for it. More than 90% of the people are on vacation there. Many of the tourists have come just to do the bungee jump. It has become such a popular event that you can now bungee jump in many countries around the world. The reason for its popularity is that it is so very exciting. It isn't very often that people get the chance to jump off a bridge and survive! People pay US$85 for the experience. Another reason is that it is quite safe if the correct rope is used and checked regularly. However, there have been accidents (though not in New Zealand) when the rope broke. There's not much chance of surviving the fall if this happens, and some deaths have been reported. 14 Bungee jumping first started a long time ago, in the Polynesian islands in the Pacific Ocean. The young boys there had to jump from a tall tower with a rope made from plants tied around their ankles. They did this to show that they were brave enough to become men. 4. In a bungee jump ........

Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821 and emigrated to New York City when she was ten years old.

After writing many letters seeking admission to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. So determined was she that she gave music lessons to earn money for her tuition. In 1849, after graduating from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye infection forced her to abandon the idea. Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857, Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another female doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first female physician in the 18 United States and founding her own hospital, she also established the first medical school for women. 1.

Though carefully selected from among many applicants, the women were volunteers and pay was barely above the minimum wage. They were not allowed to smoke or drink alcohol during the tests, and they were expected to tolerate each other's company at close quarters for the entire period. Among other things, they had to stand pressure three times the force of gravity and carry out both physical and mental tasks while exhausted from strenuous physical exercise. At the end of ten days, they had to spend a further twenty days absolutely confined to bed, during this time they suffered backaches and discomforts, and when they were finally allowed up, the more physically women were especially subject to pains due to a slight calcium loss. Results of the test suggest that women will have significant advantages over men in space. They need less food and less oxygen and they stand up to radiation better.

The games were participated by the eleven nations of Southeast Asia. This was the first time that the opening and closing ceremonies were held in a large open field, despite the fact that Manila has many stadiums. The organization decided to hold the games at an open space to accommodate the large number of participants and spectators. As a result, the 2005 SEA Games ranked as having the largest audience - 200,000 people – during the opening and closing ceremonies. These games were also noted for having the most number of delegates in the history of the SEA Games. In the end, all participating countries received medals. Events in men's football actually started on November 20th, prior to the opening ceremony.
