Question 1: Read the reading passage and then choose the best answer a,b,c or d.
About fifty years ago,plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselves in solutions in laboratory flasks.The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple.They required sugar and usual minerals and vitamins.However,they did not require organic nitrogen compounds.These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds.These activities by roots require energy,of course.The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP,which drives the biochemical reactions.Respiration also requires oxygen.Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen
The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants.The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins,and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals.In addition,roots can provide the shoots with organic nitrogen compounds.This comes in handy for the growth of buds in the early spring when leaves are not yet functioning.Once leaves begin photosyn-thesizing,they produce protein,but only mature leaves can “export” protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids

a-plant physiologists b-solutions c-laboratory flasks d-roots
3,According to the passage,what is ATP ? a-A biochemical process b-The tip of a root c-A chemical compound d-A type of plant cell

a-useful b-predictable c-necessary d-successful
6,It can be inferred from the passage that,in the early spring,the buds of plants a- “export” protein in the form of amino acids b-do not require water c-have begun photosynthesizing d-obtain organic compounds from the roots 7,Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage ? a-The results of two experiments are compared
b-A generalization is made and several examples of it are given c-The findings of an experiment are explained
d-A hypothesis is presented,and several means of proving it are suggested

Question 1: Read the reading passage and then choose the best answer a,b,c or d
It would be hard to cite a development that has had more impact on American industry than the Bessemer process of making steel.It made possible the production of low-cost steel and established the foundation of the modern steel industry.In many ways it was responsible for the rapid industrialization of the United States that took place in the formative period of the late 1800s
The first Bessemer plant in the United States was built in Wyandotte,Michigan,in 1864, near the end of the Civil War.It was capable of producing only tons of steel ingots at a time.The ingots were rolled into rails-the first steel rails made in the United States Acceptance of the process was initially slow.By 1870,the annual output of Bessemer steel was a mere 42 thousand tons.Production grew rapidly after about 1875,rising to 1.2 million tons in 1880,when it exceeded that of wrought iron for the first time
The rise of the U.S.steel industry in the last quarter of the nineteenth century was brought about largely by the demand for Bessemer steel rails for the nation’s burgeoning rail network.Steel rails were far more durable than those made of iron.Spurred by this demand,the U.S.steel industry became the largest in the world in 1886,when it surpassed that of Great Britain
The Bessemer process was the chief method of making steel until 1907,when it was overtaken by the open-hearth process.By the 1950s,the Bessemer process accounted for less than percent of the total U.S.production
1,With what topic is this passage mainly concerned? a-The history of metal working b-A comparison of the U.S.and British steel industries in the nineteenth century c-The technical details of the Bessemer process

b-the manufacture of weapons during the Civil War c-lowered costs for steel d-industrial development in the United States during an important period 3,What can be inferred from the passage about wrought iron ?
a-At one time,more of it was produced than Bessemer steel b-It is a by-product of the Bessemer process
c-It was once primarily imported from Great Britain
d-It later became a more important product than Bessemer steel 4,The word “burgeoning” in line 13 is closest in meaning to a-overpowering b-planned c-expanding d-vital
5,According to the passage,why was Bessemer steel rails used in place of iron rails ? a-They lasted longer b-They did not have to be imported.c-They could be installed faster d-They provided a smoother ride for passengers
6,The word “Spurred” in line 14 is closest in meaning to which of the following ? a-Driven b-Challenged c-Dominated d-Broken

Question 1:Read the reading passage then choose the best answer a,b,c or d. All birds have feathers,and all animals with feathers are birds
No other major group of animals is so easy to categorize.All birds have wings,too.but wings are not peculiar to birds
Many adaptations are found in both feathers and wings.Feathers form the soft down of geese and ducks,the long decorative plumes of ostriches,and strong flight feathers of eagles and hawks.Wings vary from the short,broad ones of chickens,which seldom fly,to the long,slim ones of albatrosses,which spend almost all their lives soaring on air currents In penguins,wings have been modified into flippers and feathers into a waterproof covering.In kiwis,the wings are almost impossible to detect
Yet diversity among birds is not so striking as it is among mammals.The difference between a hummingbird and a penguin is immense,but hardly as startling as that between a bat and a whale.It is variations in details rather than in fundamental patterns that has been important in the adaptation of birds to many kinds of ecosystems

(15)The revival of the Olympic Games took place in 1896 and since then they have been staged every four years,except during World War I and World War II (1916,1940,1944)
Perhaps the basic difference between the ancient and modern Olympic is that the former were the ancient Greeks’ way of saluting their gods,whereas the modern Games are a manner of saluting the athletic talents of citizens of all nations.The original Olympics featured competition in music,oratory and theatre performances as well.The modern Games have a more expansive athletic agenda,and for two and a half weeks they are supposed to replace the rancour of international conflict with friendly competition.In recent times,however,that lofty ideal has not always been attained

Question 1:Read the following passage then give the short answer to each question.
Esperanto is an artificial language designed to serve internationally as an auxilary means of communication among speakers of different languages.Esperanto,the creation of Ludwig Zamenhof,a Polish-jewish ophthalmologist,was first presented in 1887.An interna-tional movement to promote its use has continued to flourish and has members in more than 80 countries
Esperanto is used internationally across language boundaries by about one million people,particularly in specialised fields.It is used in personal contracts,on radio broadcasts, and in a number of publications as well as in translations of both modern works and classic.Its popularity has spread from Europe-both East and West-to such countries as Brazil and Japan.It is in China,however, that Esperanto has had its greatest impact.It is taught in universities and used in many translations(often in scientific and technological works).El Popola Cinio,a monthly magazine in Esperanto from the People’s Republic of China,is read worldwide.Radio Beijing’s Esperanto program is the most popular program in Esperanto in the world
Esperanto’s vocabulary is drawn primarily from Latin,the Romance languages, English and German.Spelling is completely regular.A simple and consistent set of endings indicates grammatical functions of words.Thus,for example, every noun ends in -o,every adjective in -a,and the infinitive of every verb in - i.

Since ancient times,rice has benn the most commonly used food grain for the majority of people in the world.A member of the grass family Graminae,rice (Oryza sativa ) can be grown successfully under climatic conditions ranging from tropical to temperate.Properly cultivated,rice produces higher yields than any other grain with the exception of corn,and although the total area planted in rice is far smaller than that devoted to wheat (the world total is about one-third less),the rice crop feeds a far greater proportion of the world’s population
In contrast to wheat and corn,only a small percentage of the total rice crop enters intern-ational trade.Not quite 4% of the total worldwide becomes an export commodity,although the United States exports approximately 45% of its total production.Limited international trade in rice has prevented the establishment of large,active trading centres like those for marketing cereal grains,and formulation of official grain standards for rice has been low to develop
During the past quarter of a century,rice-breeding programs have been initiated in several countries.Resistance to diseases and insects was the mojor objective of the earlier
Reseach,but hybrid programs have dominated recently.High-yielding dwarf plants that can withstand deep water and that respond to fertilisers have been developed.Improved grain quality and higher protein levels have been added objectives of new programs designed to improve nutrition
