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 following questions.
The word laser was coined as an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation Ordinary light, from the Sun or a light bulb, is emitted spontaneously, when atoms or molecules get rid of excess energy by themselves, without any outside intervention Stimulated emission is different because it occurs when an atom or molecule holding onto excess energy has been stimulated to emit it as light
Albert Einstein was the first to suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper published in 1917 However, for many years, physicists thought that atoms and molecules always were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always would be much weaker It was not until after the Second World War that physicists began trying to make stimulated emission dominate They sought ways by which one atom or molecule could stimulate many other to emit light, amplifying it to much higher powers

C was the first person to mention the existence of stimulated emission D was the first person to publish a paper in 1917
Question 27 Although Einstein suggested stimulated emission in 1917 _ A It wasn’t made dominant until after World War II
B physicists didn’t think it would be much weaker

(4)the month of March to play and party, making it the number one spring break destination in the United States
A weeklong drinking binge is not for anyone, however, and a growing number of American university students have found a way to make spring break matter For them, joining or leading a group of volunteers to travel locally or internationally and work to alleviate problems such as poverty, homelessness, or environmental damage makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can feel good about
During one spring break week, students at James Madison University in Virginia participated in 15 “alternative spring break” trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and five international trips One group of JMU students traveled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina Another group traveled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a homeless shelter One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand They performed exhausting physical labor such as maintaining hiking trails and destroying invasive plant species that threaten the native Florida ecosystem
Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding. While most university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are able to help people now On the other hand, the accommodations are far from glamorous Students often sleep on the floor of a school or spend the week camping in tents But students only pay around $250 for meals and transportation, which is much less than some of their peers spend to travel to more traditional spring break hotspots
Alternative spring break trips appear to be growing in popularity at universities across the United States Students cite a number of reason for participating Some appreciate the opportunity to socialize and meet new friends Others want to exercise their beliefs about people’s obligation to serve humanity and make the world a better place whatever their reason, these students have discovered something that gives them rich rewards along with a break from school work
(“Active Skills for Reading: Book 2” by Neil J Anderson – Thompson) Question 43: How many university students travel to Panama Beach City every March for spring break?
A Around 500,000 B Around 10,000 C Around 36,000 D Around 50,000 Question 44: The article is mainly about _
A sleeping on the floor or camping in tents B alternative spring break trips C drinking problems among university students D spring break in Florida and Mexico Question 45: The word “binge” in the second paragraph probably means _.
A having very little alcohol B refusing to something C studying for too long D doing too much of something
Question 46: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem that alternative spring break trips try to help solve?
A Alcoholism B Environmental damage C Poverty D Homelessness Question 47: Which of the following gives the main idea of the third paragraph?
A One group of JMU students worked on homes damaged by a hurricane
B Some students work to help the environment on alternative spring break trips C Children living in homeless shelters enjoy creative activities
D University students many different types of work on alternative spring break trips Question 48: The article implies that university students _
A many take fewer alternative spring break trips in future
B would prefer to wait until they have their degrees to start helping people C complain about accommodations on alternative spring break trips
D spend more than $250 for traditional spring break trips Question 49: The word “them” in paragraph refers to _.
A degrees B projects C people D students
Question 50: Which of the following is mentioned as a reason for participating in alternative spring break trips?
A The hope of earning money
(5)C A desire to travel to glamorous places D A wish to get away from family and friends

Genetic modification of foods is not a new practice It has been practiced for thousands of years under the name of "selective breeding" Animals and plants were chosen because they had traits that humans found useful Some animals were larger and stronger than others, or they yielded more food, or they had some other trait that humans valued Therefore, they were bred because of those traits Individuals with those traits were brought together and allowed to breed in the hope that their offspring would have the same traits in greater measure
Much the same thing was done with plants To produce bigger or sweeter fruit, or grow more grain per unit of land, strains of plants were combined and recombined to produce hybrids, or crossbreeds that had the desired traits in the right combinations All the while, however, biologists wondered: is there a more direct and versatile way to change the traits of plants and animals? Could we rewrite, so to speak, the heredity of organisms to make them serve our needs better?
In the 20th century, genetic modification made such changes possible at last Now, it was possible to alter the genetic code without using the slow and uncertain process of selective breeding It even became possible to blend plants and animals genetically: to insert animal genes into plants, for example, in order to give the plants a certain trait they ordinarily would lack, such as resistance to freezing The result was a tremendous potential to change the very nature of biology Question 31: What is the passage mainly about?
A The arguments against genetic modification
B The benefits brought about by genetic modification C The reasons behind selective breeding of plants D The development of genetic modification
Question 32: The word "them" in paragraph refers to .
A organisms B traits C animals D plants
Question 33: The word "blend" in paragraph mostly means .
A combine B collect C gather D carry
Question 34: According to the passage, selective breeding A is slower and uncertain than genetic modification B works much better on plants than on animals
C helps change the traits of plants rather than animals D has a huge potential to change the nature of biology
Question 35: Which of the following IS NOT achieved by genetic modification? A Giving plants necessary traits taken from animals’ genes
B Producing hybrids or crossbreeds from many animals and plants C Encouraging people to give up selective breeding completely D Making big changes to the very nature of biology
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 following questions from 36 to 43
(8)In the early years of the 20th century there was little specialization in surgery A good surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation that had been advised up to that time Today the situation is different Operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of fifty years ago The heart can be safely opened and its valves repaired Clogged blood vessels can be cleaned out, and broken ones mended or replaced A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live comfortable and satisfactory life However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation
The scope of surgery has increased remarkably in the past decades Its safety has increased too Deaths from most operations are about 20% of what they were in 1910 and surgery has been extended in many directions, for example to certain types of birth defects in new born babies, and, at the other end of the scale, to life saving operations for the octogenarian The hospital stay after surgery has been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations Most patients are out of bed on the day after an operation and may be back at work in two or three weeks
Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible They include replacement of damaged blood vessels with simulated ones made of plastic: the replacement of heart valves with plastic substitutes; the transplanting of tissues such as lens of the eye; the invention of the artificial kidney to clean the blood of poisons at regular intervals and the development of heart and lung machines to keep patients alive during very long operations All these things open a hopeful vista for the future of surgery.
One of the most revolutionary areas of modem surgery is that of organ transplants Until a few decades ago, no person, except an identical twin, was able to accept into his body the tissues of another person without reacting against them and eventually killing them Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of X-rays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for periods of a year or more Kidneys have been successfully transplanted between non-identical twins Heart and lung transplants have also been reasonably successful
"Spare parts" surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still a dream of the future but surgery is ready for such miracles In the meantime, you can be happy if your doctors say to you, "Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition."
Question 36: Most people are afraid of being operated on A in spite of improvements in modem surgery
B because they think modem drugs are dangerous C because they not believe they need anaesthetics D unless it is an emergency operation
Question 37: Surgeons in the early 20th century, compared with modem ones A had less to learn about surgery B were more trusted by their patients C could perform every operation known today D needed more knowledge Question 38: A patient can still live a comfortable life even after the removal of
A his brain C a major organ such as the stomach or one
lung
B his lungs D part of the stomach or the whole liver
Question 39: The word "clogged" in the second paragraph is most likely to correspond to _
A clean B blocked C covered D unwashed
Question 40: Today, compared with 1910 A 20% fewer of all operation patients die B 20% of all operation patients recover C operation deaths have increased by 20%
D five times fewer patients die after being operated on
Question 41: Some of the more astonishing innovations in modern surgery include _ A ear, nose and throat transplants B valve less plastic hearts
(9)Question 42: Which of the following has the same meaning as "vista" in the fourth paragraph?'
A support B prospect C history D visit
Question 43: You can be happy if your surgeon can operate because it means A he thinks your condition may be incurable B he is a good doctor
C he thinks you will survive D you are getting better already
