III READING
A READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS
When Jules Verne wrote Journey to the Center of the Earth in 1864, there were many conflicting theories about the nature of the Earth's interior Some geologists thought that it contained a highly compressed ball of incandescent gas, while others suspected that it consisted of separate shells, each made of a different material Today, well over a century later, there is still little direct evidence of what lies beneath our feet Most of our knowledge of the Earth's interior comes not from mines or boreholes, but from the study of seismic waves - powerful pulses of energy released by earthquakes
The way that seismic waves travel shows that the Earth's interior is far from uniform The continents and the seabed are formed by the crust - a thin sphere of relatively light, solid rock Beneath the crust lies the mantle, a very different layer that extends approximately halfway to the Earth's center There the rock is the subject of a battle between increasing heat and growing pressure In its high levels, the mantle is relatively cool; at greater depths, high temperatures make the rock behave more like a liquid than a solid Deeper still, the pressure is even more intense, preventing the rock from melting in spite of a higher temperature
Beyond a depth of around 2,900 kilometers, a great change takes place and the mantle gives way to the core Some seismic waves cannot pass through the core and others are bent by it From this and other evidence, geologists conclude that the outer core is probably liquid, with a solid center It is almost certainly made of iron, mixed with smaller amounts of other elements such as nickel
The conditions in the Earth's core make it a far more alien world than space Its solid iron heart is subjected to unimaginable pressure and has a temperature of about 9,000oF Although scientists can speculate about its nature, neither humans nor machines will ever be able to visit it
1: What is the main idea of the passage?
A Jules Verne’s supposition of the Earth’s center
(5)D The depth and the temperatures at the Earth’s interior
2: What is today’s richest source of information about the Earth’s interior for geologists? A Boreholes B Shells C Seismic waves D Mines 3: The word “conflicting” in line is closest in meaning to
A controlling B important C outdated D opposing 4: The word “There” in line refers to the
A mantle B crust C seabed D Earth’s center
5: Which of the following is a primary characteristic of the Earth’s mantle? A Light, solid rock B Uniformity of composition
C Dramatically increasing pressure D Compressed, incandescent gas 6: Which of the following terms is NOT given as a definition in the passage?
A mantle B crust C seismic waves D outer core 7: Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A At relatively great depths, the rock behaves more like a liquid than a solid B Some seismic waves cannot pass through the core
C Deeper down the Earth, the rock is melted due to high temperature D The outer core is liquid and the center is solid
8: The phrase “gives way to” in line 14 is closest in meaning to _
A runs along B rubs against C turns into D floats on 9: The word “it” in paragraph refers to _
A core B mantle C change D depth
10: Why does the author state in line 17 that the Earth’s core is “more alien” than space? A Government funds are not available to study the Earth’s core
B Scientists aren’t interested in the characteristics of the Earth’s core C It is impossible to go to the Earth’s core to research
D The Earth’s core is made of elements that are dangerous to humans

A good many technical people become irate when you call a computer a giant brain They insist that a computer does only what thinking humans have planned to have it
(6)obliged to make such decisions as we should have made, or will be acceptable to us." (1) _
There is a popular anecdote about a computer programmer who, just for a lark, spent days setting up the machine to destroy itself, then watched delightedly as the computer dutifully proceeded to commit suicide (2) _
To me the controversy boils down to a definition of the word think There is no area in physiology that is less understood than the human brain Practically all that is known is that the brain contains some ten billion tiny cells called neurons (3) _.The completely materialistic view is that neurons, along with an extraordinary network of nerve-communication lines, comprise all that is to the brain But such an explanation fails to account for how the brain originates thought
(4) _ The brain has roughly a million times as many components as the best computer On the other hand, the difference may lie in a spiritual factor, embraced by religion At any rate, a machine cannot exercise free will or originate anything-not yet Whether it ever will is still an open argument
Computers can already a lot of surprising things, which include predicting the weather (5) , but this, as well as most of the other tasks now performed by the thinking machines, is routine, requiring thinking of a very low order
A Apparently neurons are elementary memory units, capable of storing the same kind of information "bits" that a machine can store
B The machine is able to make forecasts by assimilating vast quantities of data C The machine is composed of different elements rather than memory units D If that machine could have thought, would it not have circumvented him? E Evidently, he thinks machines can think
F Probably the clearest differentiation between man and machine is a quantitative one

In the second millennium, one frequently asked question is: What are.the limit of the human body? Is there a point at which it is physically impossible to something?
"One thing we’ve all learned in the last 30 years or so is to just about anything is humanly possible." says Dr Jack Wilmore from Texas A&M University and author of The Physiology of Sport and Exercise, part of which examines the limits of the human body
“As the new millennium progresses I think you'll see more records continue to fall in every sport The talent pool is better than ever Never before have so many good athletes competed, and not just in this country, but all over the world With more people involved and competing, records will fall and new standards will be set
Many believed that it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under four minutes, but Roger Bannister proved that theory wrong with a three minutes, 59 second mile (1.609 kilometers) in 1954 Today, sub four-minute miles are considered routine even in highschool And Bob Beamon stretched human performance in the 1968 Olympics with his historic long jump of 8.9027 meters In an event in which a record is usually broken by mere inches, he shattered the previous jump by 0.6096 meters, but even his record was broken in 1991
“We’ve all seen reports of people doing superhuman feats of strengths under duress, such as a man lifting a car off a child,” Wilmore adds, “So we know that the human body can things that go far beyond normal activity That’s why it’s foolish to say any record can’t be broken.”
One additional factor is just now becoming more understood and heavily emphasized: sports psychology Getting inside the athlete’s head can be as effective as training and long workouts
(13)teams have hired sports psychologists for their players It’s just another way of tapping into a human’s full potential.”
“In addition, every aspect of athletics – training, nutrition, injury treatment – is far better than ever been Better coaching, training techniques, equipment and other factors all contribute to make today’s athletes more competitive than ever,” he believes, “Children today tend to specialize in one or two sports instead of competing in several as was common twenty-five years ago,” Wilmore says That means they start concentrating on a sport much earlier and more intensely, and they become much better at it.”
Wilmore also says that the chances of women achieving new heights in athletics could be greater than men, as more women are now involved in sports than at any other time and they are starting at about the same age as boys, meaning they are more skilled than the previous generation of girls “Plus, women are taller and stronger than ever It used to be rate to see a girl who towered above you Now it seems like you see them every day.”
“There’s a lot we don’t know yet about the human body,” he adds, “And one of those things is the full range of human potential It can be foolish to try and put limits on what the human body can do.”
Question 16: What is the topic of the reading passage? A the physical limitations of a human body
B the physical potential of the human body
C records of physical achievements that the human body can perform D reasons why modern sportspeople perform better than they did previously Question 17: What initial comment does Dr Jack Wilmore make?
A There will always be limits to what the human body can achieve B It will become more and more difficult for athletes to break record C Athletics will become one of the most popular forms of exercise D Athletes will continue to surprise us with what they can achieves
Question 18: Why does the writer mention athletes like Bannister and Beamon? A To demonstrate the effect of their determination to win had on them B To prove that even their amazing achievements can be bettered C To exemplify what athletes can achieve under stressful conditions
D To demonstrate how accurately we can measure what athletes are capable of
Question 19: Dr Wilmore feels that attitudes within athletics are changing because _ A athletes are now being given mental as well as physical training by experts
(14)Question 20: According to Dr Wilmore, how are today’s children different from those years ago? A They participate in far more sports
B They begin sports at a much earlier age
C They become more proficient in their chosen sports D They are more likely to become professional athletes Question 21: Dr Wilmore believes that women
A perform equally well whether they are tall or short B have physically developed and advanced over the years C now have the same chance as boys of realizing their potential D are beginning to play sports at a much younger age than boys Question 22: What conclusion does Dr Wilmore make?
A We try to push the human body to its limits at our peril
B We should not prejudge what might be beyond our physical capabilities C We need to more research into what the human body is capable of D We must congratulate ourselves on what athletes have achieved so far Question 23: Look at the following sentence
Who’s to say it won’t be happen?
Where does the sentence best fit in the following paragraph?
“[1] We’ve all seen reports of people doing superhuman feats of strengths under duress, such as a man lifting a car off a child,” Wilmore adds, “[2] So we know that the human body can things that go far beyond normal activity [3] That’s why it’s foolish to say any ecord can’t be broken [4]”

(16)Humans are (0 PROPORTION) _ right-handed Scientists have not been able to agree over the exact percentages of right versus left-handers because there is no accepted standard for identifying which hand is (41 DOMINATE) _ For example, some people who write or throw with their right hands may perform other tasks with their left hands or may kick a ball with their left foot Absent an objective measure, therefore, the range of (42.ESTIMATION) _ is wide Right-handers are said to make up 85% to 95% of all people and left-handers 5% to 15%, while the (43.REMAIN) _ tiny percentage are (44.EXTERITY) _, so they can use both hands with equal ability Perhaps the most unusual fact about right-hand dominance is how little we know about its causes Several theories have been proposed Some evidence exists the phenomenon is genetic, but (45 GENE) _ cannot agree on the process by which handedness may be passed only by (46 INHERIT) Social and cultural forces can also cause a (47 PREFER) _for one hand, as when teachers or parents force a naturally left-handed child to use the right hand And it has been observed by (48 ANTHROPOGY) _ the left-handedness tends to be less common in (49 RESTRICT) societies and more common in (50 PERMIT) _ ones But no consensus has been reached on how that could occur
