Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to be friends with them or that you don’t trust them But perhaps this kind of intuition isn’t as hard to explain as it may seem For instance, people give out body language signal all the time The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood If you hold your arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that you are being defensive Holding your head to one side shows interest in the others, while an easy, open posture indicates that you are self-confident All this affects the way you feel about someone

Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone This may be because of something as simple as the fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly Your feeling about a stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you were happy as a child Since even a single word can bring back a memory such as that, you may never realize it is happening

international economy, education is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of chance It is importance to recognize, however, that we approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn’t require the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled; and 60 percent as unskilled Today, our world has changed The proportion of unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the

workforce Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime

52 The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US between 1950s and now

A has remained the same B has changed dramatically C has been reversedD has changed slightly

53 The phrase “enlightened individuals” in the first sentence most likely means “people who ”

A always appear brilliant-looking in public B have often been well-exposed to light

C have acquired an adequate level of education D bring light to anywhere they go

54 In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author’s point of view, any individual must

C understand thoroughly the combination of academic knowledge and practical skills D move actively forward in the new Information Era and international economy with a prestigious diploma

I just want to introduce the next area we’ll cover: the food chain Food chains are divided into three types The first one is the predator( [‘predətə(r)]: dong vat an thit) chain, in which larger animals feed on smaller ones, such as when a bird eats a fish The second is the parasite chain, in which smaller animals live off larger ones, such as a tapeworm living in a eat’s intestines And the third type is the saprophytic chain in which a micro-organism feeds off dead matter

In each type of chain, potential energy is lost at each level Let’s take the example of a green plant It gets energy from the sun by photosynthesis, but can use only about or percent of the energy that falls on it The plant is then eaten by a rabbit, but the rabbit can use only about 10 percent of the potential energy of the plant The rabbit is then eaten by a fox, which can use about 12 - 15 percent of the energy from the rabbit And finally, the fox is eaten by a mountain lion As you can see, at each step the percentage of energy obtained increases, but all in all, a great deal of energy is lost at each step

That’s all for today Read the next chapter in your books We’ll go on with more about the food chain next time

76.What is the major topic of this lecture?

77.Which of the following is an example of a predator chain?

A A bird eating a fish B A rabbit eating grass

C A tapeworm living in an animal D A plant using energy from the sun, 78.How much of the potential energy from the sun can a plant use?

A - percent B 10 percent C 12 - 15 percent D More than 15 percent

79.What happens at each step of the food chain?

A A plant uses energy B Animals kill other animals

C Potential energy is lost D A micro-organism feeds off dead matter 80.What is eaten in a saprophytic chain?

SECTION B: READING

I Read the text and choose the best answer to each of the questions below

Scientists have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause the disease in animals In addition, man can catch the disease from animals In fact, a great number of wild birds seem to carry the virus without showing any evidences of illness Some scientists conclude that a large family of influenza viruses may have evolved in the bird kingdom, a group that has been on the earth 100 million years and is able to carry the virus without contracting the disease There is even convincing evidence to show that virus strains are transmitted from place to place and from continent to continent by migrating birds

It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time The result of such recombination is a great variety of strains containing different H and N spikes This raises the possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus from a lower animal to produce an entirely new spike Research is underway to determine if that is the way that major new strains come into being Another possibility is that two animals influenza strains may recombine in a pig, for example, to produce a new strains which is transmitted to man According to the passage, scientists have discovered that influenza viruses

A cause ill health in wild animals B not always cause symptoms in birds

C are rarely present in wild birds D change when transmitted from animals to man What is known about the influenza virus?

A It is first found in a group of very old birds C It existed over 100 million years ago B All the different strains can be found in wild birds D It can survive in many different places According to the passage, a great variety of influenza strains can appear when A H and N spikes are produced B Animal and bird viruses are combined C Dissimilar types of virus recombine D Two viruses of the same type are contracted New strains of viruses are transmitted to man by

A a variety of means B diseased lower animals C a group of migrating birds D a type of wild pig

5 It can be inferred from the passage that all of the following are ways of producing new strains of influenza EXCEPT

A two influenza viruses in the same animal recombining B two animal viruses recombining in a human

C two animal viruses recombining

D animal viruses recombining with human viruses
