should have (1) broken our journey in Lyon or Paris As if that wasn’t enough, the sea was so rough in the English Channel that the (2) crossing took three hours instead of one and a half Next year, we plan to book a cheap (3) package holiday to Italy It sounds marvellous — the cost of the flight, the hotel and all our meals are (4) included in the price While we’re in Rome, we’ll be going on a

that the dinosaur could reach a top (2) speed of metres a second, which is (3) fractionally faster than the average professional footballer There has been a lot of controversy (4) about whether the Tyrannosaurus Rex was a predator or a scavenger; some believe that its highly developed sense of smell indicates that it was a scavenger, (5) while others say that its keen eyesight shows that it was a hunter The (6) later group will appreciate the recent study, as a hunter is more (7) likely to require such speed The University of Manchester study used a powerful supercomputer to calculate the running speeds of five meat-eating dinosaurs and used data taken (8) directly from dinosaur fossils, (9) rather than referring to previous work on (10) modern animals A with A fast A fraction B as C

“northern” and “capital” and follows a(n) (1) _East Asian tradition of naming capital cities literally Other similarly named cities (2) _Nanjing in Southern China which means “southern capital”, and Tokyo in Japan, which means “eastern capital” Beijing is the political and cultural (3) _of China and is worldfamous for its many historical attractions Four million people visit Beijing each year to

Hollywood, in the (2) United States However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in (3) India Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and the movie industry there is often called “Bollywood.” Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood — more than 1,000 movies a year The (4) movies from Bollywood are very different from those made by Hollywood studios For one thing, Bollywood movies are much (5) longer than most Hollywood movies Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure, mystery, and romance (but usually no kissing) Because Bollywood movies contain so many different features, this (6) style of movie is sometimes called a “masala” movie — “masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices Another big (7) difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood (8) In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script is even finished The director and writers can make (9) up the story while the movie is being made Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead (10) of taking time to type it Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time Movie United States India Movies Longer Style Difference In fact Up 10 Of C6 There is an old English (1) saying, “Laughter is the best medicine” One person who certainly would have agreed with this is Norman Cousins Norman Cousins the editor of a magazine called Saturday Review for almost forty years He also wrote and (2) spoke about world peace and anti-nuclear and anti-war issues, traveling (3) to many different countries to share his ideas In the 1960s, after returning to the United States from a busy and tiring trip to Europe, Mr Cousins got sick He discovered he had a rare disease known as ankylosing spondylitis that caused the joints between his bones to (4) _ stiff In less than a week after he got (5) back, he could not stand Every move that he (6) _was painful He was not able to sleep at night The doctors told Mr Cousins that they did not (7) know how to cure his problem and he might never get over the illness Mr Cousins, however, refused to give (8) up hope Mr Cousins thought that the illness could be caused (9) by unhappy thoughts He did not want to (10) take medicine to cure himself Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness Saying Spoke To become (?) Back Made Know Up By 10 Take C7 Human memory, formerly believed to be rather inefficient, (1) is really much more sophisticated than that of a computer Researchers approaching the problem from a variety of (2) points of view have all concluded that there is a great deal more stored in our minds than has been generally supposed Dr Wilder Penfield, a Canadian neurosurgeon, proved that by stimulating (3) their brains electrically, he could elicit the total recall of complex events in his subjects’ lives Even dreams and other minor events supposedly forgotten (4) for many years suddenly emerged in detail The memory trace is the term for (5) whatever forms the internal representation of the specific information about the event stored in the memory Assumed to have been made by structural changes in (6) the brain, the memory trace is not subject to direct observation but is rather a theoretical construct that is used to speculate about how information presented at a particular time can cause performance at a later time Most theories include the (7) strength of the memory trace as a variable in the degree of learning, retention, and retrieval possible for a memory One theory is that the fantastic capacity for storage in the brain is the result (8) of an almost unlimited combination of interconnections between brain cells, stimulated by patterns of (9) activity Repeated references to the same information support recall Or, to say that another way, improved performance is the result of (10) strengthening the chemical bonds in the memory Ís Points Their For Whatever The Strength Of Activity 10 Strengthening C8 Psychologists generally (1) divide memory into (2) at least two types, short-term and long-term memory, which combine (3) to form working memory Short-term memory contains what we are actively (4) focusing on at any particular time, but items are not retained longer (5) than twenty or thirty seconds without verbal rehearsal We use shortterm (6) memory when we look up a telephone number and repeat it to ourselves until we can place the call On the other (7) contrast, long-term memory can store facts, concepts, and experiences after we stop thinking (8) about them All conscious (9) processing of information, as in problem solving for example, involves both short-term and long-term memory As we repeat, rehearse, and recycle information, the memory trace is strengthened, allowing that information to move (10) from short-term memory to longterm memory C9 I have (1) returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years So many things have changed around here When I left Wilson Creek, there (2) was a small pond on the right as you left town They have filled in this pond and they have built a large shopping mall (3) there A new post office has also been built just across from my old school There is a baseball (4) stadium on the outskirts of Wilson Creek which has been changed (5) completely They have now added a new stand where probably a few thousand people could sit It looks really great The biggest changes have taken place (6) in the downtown area They have pedestrianised the centre and you can't drive there anymore A European-style fountain has been (7) built and (8) some benches have also been added along with a grassy area and a new street cafe My street looks just the same as it always has but a public library has been built in the next street along There (9) used to be a great park there but they have cut down all the trees which is a pity The library now has a large green area in front (10) of it but it's not the same as when the park was there Returned Was There Stadium Completely Place Built Some Used 10 Of C10 Philology (1) _the traditional study of language, especially of written languages in their cultural settings Because philology (2) _with the relationship of languages, it is usually comparative; because these relationships evolve (3) _time, it is typically historical Languages (4) _ to change in the direction of greater diversity; one language tends to be superseded by several: a (5) _“dead” language preserves evidence of the earlier forms from which “living” languages developed The descendants of Latin have diverged to the point that, though Italian is related (6) _English, they are now foreign to each other as is their common “parent” to both Also cultures change the meaning and use of many words In English, piano is a keyboard (7) _; in Italian piano not only names the instrument, it also means “soft” as opposed to “loud” The original name for the instrument was pianoforte (soft-loud), because it was more (8) _of varying sound volume than instruments like the harpsichord that came before it The special meaning of the Italian phrase results from its (9) _context and the distinctive feature of the instrument it names But in English and other languages, we abbreviate it to piano The English word still (10) _the same instrument but the abbreviation discards “and loud" from the original Italian phrase and hence becomes a name and not a description C11 Edward Patrick Eagan was (1) born April 26, 1897, in Denver, Colorado, and his father died in a railroad accident when Eagan was only a year old He and his four brothers (2) were raised by his mother, who earned a small income from teaching foreign languages Inspired (3) by Frank Merriwell, the hero of a series of popular novels for boys, Eagan pursued an education for himself as well as an interest (4) in boxing He (5) attended the University of Denver for a year before serving in the U.S Army as an artillery lieutenant during World War I After the war, he entered Yale University and, while studying there, won the U.S national amateur heavyweight boxing title He graduated from Yale in 1921, attended Harvard Law School, and received a Rhodes scholarship to the University of Oxford (6) where he received his A.M in 1928 While studying at Oxford, Eagan became (7) the first American to win the British amateur boxing championship Eagan won his first Olympic gold medal as a light heavyweight boxer (8) at the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium Eagan also fought at the 1924 Olympics in Paris as a heavyweight but failed to get a medal Though he had (9) taken up the sport just three weeks before the competition, he managed to win a second gold medal as a member of the four-man bobsled team at the 1932 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York Thus he became the only athlete to (10) win gold medals at both the Summer and Winter Olympics Born were by in attended where the at taken up 10 win C12 Vitamins, taken in tiny doses, (1) are a major group of organic compounds that regulate the mechanisms by which the body converts food (2) into energy They should not be confused (3) with minerals, which are inorganic in their makeup Although in general the naming of vitamins followed the alphabetical order of their (4) identification, the nomenclature of individual substances may appear to be somewhat random and disorganized Among the vitamins (5) known today, five are produced in the body Because the body produces (6) sufficient quantities of some but not sill vitamins, they must be supplemented in the daily diet (7) Although each vitamin has its specific designation and cannot be replaced by another compound, a lack of one vitamin can interfere with the processing of (8) another When a lack of even one vitamin in a diet is continual, a vitamin deficiency may (9) result The best way for an individual to ensure a necessary supply of vitamins is to maintain a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods and provides adequate quantities of all the compounds Some people take vitamin supplements, predominantly in the (10) form of tablets (1) are (2) into (3) with (4) identification (5) known (6) sufficient (7) Although (8) another (9) result (10) form C13 What has caused these major changes? One reason (1) _economic necessity may be that the husband has (2) _his job and the wife must support the family Or even if the husband is working, some families say they can’t survive on only (3) _paycheck But probably a (4) _important influence has been the “women’s liberation movement” Women are being told in (5) _magazines and TV programs that “You can be successful on your own Don’t be satisfied with (6) _being a wife and mother Use your intelligence and talents to something bigger And you should be paid (7) much as a man.” (8) _doubt this movement has accomplished much good But it has also contributed to a selfish “me first” attitude that is breaking up many families Sometimes women (9) _are happy staying at home feel that working women look (10) them There are no easy answers to these problems But certainly women’s influence will continue to grow in business, education and politics (1) is (2) lost (3) one (4) more (5) many (6) just (7) as (8) No (9) who (10) down on C14 Leisure is generally seen as an (1) which takes place outside (2) _ hours The peak leisure time for most people is between 6.00 pm and 12.00 am, although in recent years there has been an increase in people working (3) hours and shifts, together with more "flexitime" Leisure is often thought of purely as a (4) activity, i.e playing sport Although many people use their (5) free time in this way, there are plenty of other leisure opportunities that are more (6) in nature, such as of one's lifewatching television or sunbathing on a beach It is important to realise that leisure can embrace a whole range of experiences and activities, although personal choice may be limited due to factors such as age or provision of local (7) _ The leisure emphasis will normally change at different (8) _
