Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season
Drying, smoking and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage But in 1810, a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of canning And in the 1850’s an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860’s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans from tinplate Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets Growing urban population created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship
perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods Thus, by the 1890’s,
northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables As easy means of producing ice
(9)Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were heavily in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford
meat Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously unavailable fruits,
vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare 66 What does the passage mainly discuss?
A Causes of food spoilage C Population movements in the nineteenth century B Commercial production of ice D Inventions that led to changes in the American diet
67 The phrase “in season” in line refers to
A a particular time of year B a kind of weather C an official schedule D a method of flavoring 68 During the 1860’s, canned food products were
A unavailable in rural areas B available in limited quantities C shipped in refrigerator cars D a staple part of the American diet 69 It can be inferred that railroad refrigerator cars came into use
A before 1860 B before 1890 C after 1900 D after 1920
70 The word” them” in line 13 refers to
A refrigerator cars B growers C perishables D distances
71 The word” fixture” in line 18 is closest in meaning to
A commonplace object B substance C luxury item D mechanical device 72.The author implies that in the 1920’s and 1930’s home deliveries of ice
A increased in cost B occurred only in the summer C decreased in number D were on an irregular schedule
73 The word “ Nevertheless” in line 21 is closest meaning to
A occasionally B however C therefore D because 74 Which of the following types of food preservation was NOT mentioned in the passage? A Drying B Chemical additives C Canning D Cold storage 75 Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
A Most farmers in the United States raised only fruits and vegetables B People who lived in cities demanded home delivery of foods
C Tin cans and iceboxes helped to make many foods more widely available D Commercial ice factories were developed by railroad owners

THE DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY
Just over one hundred years ago, the last volume of a tremendous work of reference entitled The Dictionary of National Biography rolled off the printing presses
(13) (ADMIT), this 21-volume shelf-filler may not immediately sound like the most thrilling read in the world As entertainment, you might imagine it ranks some way below a (14) (POLITICS) autobiography But you would be very, very wrong
The DNB, like the Oxford English Dictionary, is one of the great monuments to British culture and also a hugely enjoyable work in its own right It is, quite simply, an
(15) (ALPHABET) dictionary of potted biographies of all the notable men and women who had lived in Britain since the year dot It was produced between 1885 and 1900, and it remains (16) (EMPHASIS) an achievement of the Victorian period, richly redolent of 19th century confidence and (17) (CAPABLE), energy and optimism It is also a monument to the enormous variety of the British national character, and the dictionary is immeasurably (18) (RICH) by this aspect There are not only great statesmen, generals, writers, but also hundreds of wonderfully colourful characters, who you can discover only by leafing idly through a volume of the DNB on a wet afternoon down at your local library The way in which the DNB was produced was very British too: on a shoestring, out of sheer dedication, and with no state (19) (INTERFERE) whatsoever It was the private endeavour of a group of (20) (ENTHUSE), scholars and freelance journalists, as opposed to, for instance, the Austrian equivalent, produced under the oppressive auspices of the imperial Academy of Vienna

(21)B Last year our netball team was promoted to the top league and so the coach became very strict At that level, every move is scrutinized and discussed, which makes everyone feel very pressured There’s a lot of competition to get chosen for the team and sometimes I got substituted When I played last year, I would look at the subs sitting on the sidelines and not really care, but when I started to become one myself I had a whole new perspective on the game Now I realize that when you’re not the best at a sport it doesn’t seem as much fun as when you’re a top player I left the team earlier this year, as the pressure of playing in matches was too much; it was becoming a frustration instead of a recreation I still enjoy playing netball with my friends in gym classes, when I can relax without worrying about impressing my coach all the time
C I was good at football and I really enjoyed playing left back in the school team Then one Saturday when I was 14, I went to watch the local ice hockey team play It was so exciting and became a real turning point in my life School football seems so dull in comparison I discovered that there was a local women’s ice hockey team just being set up At first, the coach thought I was too young and too inexperienced as I’d only done occasional fun skating on Saturday afternoons But she agreed to give me a trial and I have been playing for three years now I’ll really find out what I can in June when we go to take part in a women’s international ice hockey competition in Prague
D I knew I was serious about rugby when I scored a try in my first game I was named ‘player of the year’ at my club last year and I’m also captain of my school team My uncle often comes to watch me play He’s very competitive so that is probably why I am too Losing makes me feel that I’ve done something wrong It doesn’t happen very often, though I’m not normally an aggressive person but, on the rugby pitch, I am I don’t think girls should play rugby as it’s so aggressive and they could easily get injured Most of my schoolmates play rugby and all of them are sporty I can’t really imagine my life without rugby! I’m going to agricultural college when I leave school and eventually will take over my uncle’s farm, but l hope there’ll still be time for lots of rugby If I have a son, I’ll want to help coach his team and I’d be disappointed if he wasn’t interested in sports I’ll definitely be a competitive dad!

(22)A America’s tobacco industry has launched a fresh assault in its war against the anti-smoking movement Six tobacco groups are suing the US Environmental Protection Agency, claiming that its recent report on the dangers of second- hand smoke is based on sloppy science and is unfairly damaging their trade Anti- smoking groups say the lawsuit is a Canute- like attempt to stem a tide of anti- smoking legislation sweeping the US
B In January, the EPA released a long- awaited report on passive smoking It considered
more than 30 studies around the world that compared the incidence of lung cancer in non- smoking woman whose husbands smoked with that in those whose husbands did not The report included that wives of smokers had a higher risk of developing lung cancer, and that the risk increased with the amount of smoke inhaled Passive smoking causes 3,000 deaths a year from lung cancer in the US alone, it said On the basic of this and other evidence- for instance, that smoke is clearly carcinogenic when inhaled directly- the EPA added environmental tobacco smoke to its list of known human carcinogens The report also concluded that second- hand smoke aggravates asthma and causes respiratory illness and ear infections in children
C The tobacco industry countered that the study was shoddy and misleading,
characterized by “ a preference for political correctness over sound science” The tobacco groups pointed out that the increased incidence of lung cancer was seen only when the
statistical test was relaxed from the usual 95 per cent confidence to a less rigorous 90 per cent They also accused the EPA of ignoring several studies that the contradict the agency’s
conclusion
D On 22 June, the six groups- Philip Morris, R J Reynolds Tobacco and four groups
representing growers and retailers- jointly sued the EPA to have the study declares null and avoid, and to throw out human carcinogen classification, which they claim goes beyond the EPA’s legal mandate “ Unfortunately, it is the tobacco farmers, their families and the
communities who- if the EPA is not stopped- will have to pay for this misguided actions”, says John Berry, a lawyer for the Council for Burley Tobacco of Lexington, Kentucky
E The EPA stands by its report “ We’ve been hearing them for years”, says spokesman
Dave Ryan “ We think the suit is frivolous” Major medical groups also back the report “ This lawsuit is just another example of tobacco conglomerates blowing smoke in the faces of
American”, says Lonnie Bristow, chair of the American Medical Association’s Board of Trustees “ An industry that kills 450,000 citizens every year cannot be trusted”
F The charge of scientific manipulation is unfounded, says Morton Lippmann, a lung
expert from New York University who chaired an external review of the EPA report The 90 per cent confidence limit is reasonable given the difficulties of studying second- hand smoke, he says, as was the omission of some recent studies “ You could wait forever for this study and the next study”, he says In fact, the additional studies they’re so anxious to include couldn’t possibly change the conclusion The omitted study most often cited by the tobacco industry found a 30 per cent increase in the risk of lung cancer in passive smokers exposed to the highest levels of smoke Lippmann also notes that the EPA report, while the most complete, is not the first study to conclude that passive smoking increases the risk of cancer

ARE YOU A MACHINE OF MANY PARTS?
What will future historians remember about the impact of science during the last decade
of the 20th century? They will not be much more concerned with many of the marvels that
currently preoccupy us, such as the miraculous increase in the power of home computer and the unexpected growth of the Internet Nor will they dwell much on global warming, the loss of biodiversity and other examples of our penchant for destruction Instead, the end of the
20th century will be recognized as the time when, for better or worse, science began to bring
about the fundamental shift in our perception of ourselves
It will be the third time that science has force us to re- evaluate who we are The first time, of course, was the revolution that began with Copernicus in 1543 and continued with Kepler, Galileo and Newton Despite the Church’s opposition, we came to realize that the Earth does not lie at the centre of the universe Instead, we gradually found we live on a small planet on the edge of a minor galaxy, circling one star in a universe that contains billions of others Our unique position in the universe was gone forever
A few centuries later, we were moved even further from stage centre The Darwinian revolution removed us from our position as a unique creation of God Instead, we discovered we were just another part of the animal kingdom proud to have “ a miserable ape for a grandfather”, as Thomas Huxley put it in 1860 We know now just how close to the apes we are- over 90% of our genes are the same as those of the chimpanzee
Increasing knowledge of our own genetics, is one of the driving force in the third great conceptual shift that will soon take place Others are the growing knowledge of the way our minds work, our new ability to use knowledge of the nervous system to design drugs that affect specific states of mind and the creation of the sophisticated scanners which enable us to see what is happening inside our brains In the third revolution, we are taking our own selves to pieces and finding the parts which make up the machine that is us
Much of the new knowledge from genetics, molecular biology and the neuro- sciences is esoteric But its cultural impact is already running ahead of science People begin to see
themselves not as wholes with a moral centre but the result of the combined action of parts for which they have little responsibility
It’s Nobody’s Fault is the title of the popular American book on “ difficult” children Many
(24)ADD is currently the world’s fastest growing psychological problem In the United States, a survey show that 1.5m children between the ages of five and eighteen were being treated with a drug, Ritalin, for the disorder Since then the number taking the drug is believed to have doubled
You might, as many people do, question the way in which the disorder has been diagnosed on such a staggering scale But that is not the point The cultural shift is that people are not responsible for the disorders, only for obtaining treatment for t parts of them that have gone wrong
The more we know about the parts of ourselves, the more cures for our defects will
appear Prozac is one example The best- selling Listen to Prozac claimed the drug “ can
transform pessimists into optimists, turn loners into extroverts” And Prozac, the book explained, “ was not so much discovered as planfully created, through the efforts of a large pharmaceutical firm… the likely result of this form of research is not medicines that correct particular illnesses but medicines that affect clusters of functions in the human brain.”
Even when a treatment is not to hand, the notion that we are made of “ clusters of functions” remains strong Genetic analysis supports this view A gene linked to alcoholism has been located and a Gallup poll has revealed that the great majority of Americans consider alcoholism to be a disease There are claims of genes too for obesity, homosexuality and even for laziness
Some claims about genes may be silly Or you may think that the current conceptual shift is just a re- run of old arguments about the relative roles of nature and nurture Instead, take one drug, Viagra, as an example of the new way of thinking about ourselves If you suffer from impotence, it might have a variety of physiological causes Or you might just be anxious about sexual performance But Viagra does not make such fine distinctions: it acts at the level of the chemical reactions that control the blood flow needed to maintain an erection
Once we can dissect ourselves into parts and know how the parts work, it really does not matter what was the initial cause of the problem If you own a car and the brakes wear out quickly, it is not important whether you’ve been driving the car too hard or you bought cheap brake shoes to begin with You just need to change the brakes
The more direct means we have of changing who we are, through changing the parts that we are composed of, the harder becomes the question of who was the person who made the decision to change, before becoming someone else This will be the real issue for the
21th century: who are we, if we are the sum of our parts and science has given us the power to
change those parts?
86 What is the most important scientific progress in the 20th century? A The development of computer technology
B The birth and growth of the Internet C Mankind’s ability to control global warning D People’s new knowledge of themselves 87 What did Copernicus discover?
A The Earth does not lie at the centre of the universe B The Church was wrong about the history of mankind C Human beings live on a small planet
(25)88 What did Darwin discover?
A Human beings were a unique creation of God

A Knowledge of our own genetics B Knowledge of the way our mind works
C Knowledge of how to use sophisticated scanners
D Knowledge of how to design drugs that effect specific states of mind
90 Which of the following is likely to be the main idea of the book It’s nobody’s Fault? A Many children are suffering from ADD
B ADD is the problem for the problematic children C Some people’s brains not have neurotransmitters The way people are brought up determines their behavior 91 How many people are taking Ritalin in the US? A Less than 1.5 million people
B 1.5 million of the people aged 5-18 C million of the people aged 5- 18 D More than million teenagers

These stories of killer bees in the news in recent years have attracted a lot of attention as the bees have made their way from South America Killer bees are reputed to be extremely
aggressive in nature, although experts that their aggression may have been somewhat inflated
The killer bee is a combination of the very mild European strain of honeybee and the considerably more aggressive African bee, which was created when the African strain was imported into Brazil in 1955 The African bees were brought into Brazil
because their aggression was considered an advantage: they were far more productive than
their European counterparts in that they spent a higher percentage of their time working and continued working longer in inclement weather than did the European bees
These killer bees have been known to attack humans and animals, and some fatalities have occurred Experts point out, however, that the mixed breed known as the killer bee is actually
not at all as aggressive as the pure African bee They also point out that the attacks have a
chemical cause A killer bee stings only when it has been disturbed; it is not aggressive by nature However, after a disturbed bee stings and flies away; it leaves its stinger embedded in the victim In the vicera attached to the embedded stinger is the chemical isoamyl acetate, which has an odor that attracts other bees As other bees approach the victim of the original sting, the victim tends to panic, thus disturbing other bees and causing them to sting The new stings create more of the chemical isoamyl acetate which attracts more bees and increases the panic level of the victim Killer bees tend to travel in large clusters or swarms and thus respond in large numbers to the production of isoamyl acetate
