Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted “The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur.”
(4)In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in “women’s” fields- cosmetic and clothing, for example But this is changing Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software business It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtizg, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers- and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company’s cash After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock
Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard Most businesses owned by women are still quite small
But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtizig in the years ahead 51 The word “hurdles” can be replaced by _
A fences B small groups C obstacles D questions 52 The expression “keep tabs on” is closest in meaning to _
A pay the salaries of B recognize the appearance of C keep records of D provide transportation for 53 What is the main idea of the text?
A Women are better at small businesses than men are B The computer is especially lucrative for women today C Women today are opening more businesses of their own
D Women today are better educated than in the past, making them more attractive to the businesses world 54 The word “excluded” is closest in meaning to _
A not permitted to B decorators of C often invited to D charged admissions to 55 All of the following were mentioned in the passage as detriments to women in the business world
EXCEPT _
A women lacked ability to work in business
B women were required to stay at home with their families C women were not trained in business
D women faced discrimination in business
56 The word “that” in the passage refers to _
A women working hard B a woman becomes a chairman of the board C women believing that business is a place for them D women achieving advanced degrees 57 The author’s attitude about the future of women in business is _
A skeptical B negative C frustrated D optimistic 58 Charlotte Taylor believes that women in the 1970s _
A were still more interested in education than business opportunities B were able to work hard enough to succeed in business
C were unrealistic about their opportunities in business management D had fewer obstacles in business than they today
59 The author mentions the “shoebox under the bed” in order to _
A point out that initially the financial resources of Sandra Kurtzig’s business were limited B show the frugality of women in business
C show the resourcefulness of Sandra Kurtzig D suggest that the company needed to expand
60 It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes that businesses operated by women are small because _
A women are not able to borrow money easily B many women fail at large business C women prefer a small intimate setting D women can’t deal with money

Scientists believe that dinosaurs came into being about 180 million years ago and died out about 60 million years ago Since dinosaurs were reptiles, they must have developed from reptiles that lived before them
The first reptiles appeared long before the dinosaurs They were able to live in water and on land They hatched eggs and the young ones had legs and lungs They could breathe air and probably ate insects
Then the other reptiles became larger and stronger Some looked like big lizards and others like turtles They had short tails, thick legs and big heads They ate plants
The first dinosaurs to develop resembled their reptile ancestors They were slender and probably no bigger than a turkey and, like a turkey, they walked on their hind legs Some kinds remained small, but others grew heavier and longer There were even a few that were six meters long, weighing as much as an elephant They had small heads and short, blunt teeth, which were only good for eating plants They lived in low, swampy places
Then came the next period in the Age of the Reptiles Some of the plant-eating dinosaurs became so large that even four legs could not support them on land These were the largest of all the reptiles The largest dinosaurs were probably the biggest animals that ever walked the Earth They had to spend most of their lives in rivers and swamps One of these giants was the Brontosaurus, 25 meters long and weighing about 40,000 kilograms!
At the same time, other dinosaurs were able to walk about on land One of these, the Allosaurus, was 10 meters long, had sharp teeth and claws and fed on the Brontosaurus and other plant eaters!
Dinosaurs developed in many different ways, but none of them ever developed a good brain One of the reasons dinosaurs disappears may be that they were just not bright enough to know how to survive and escape from all their natural enemies But some scientists believe that changes in the Earth and in climate killed off the dinosaurs Swamps dried up and mountains appeared, making life difficult for dinosaurs that couldn’t live on dry land Also, changes in climate produced changes in vegetation, and since many dinosaurs were plant eaters, their food supply disappeared Finally as the Earth began to have seasons, shifting from hot summers to snowy winters, dinosaurs could not fit themselves to these changes and gradually became extinct There are other scientists who believe that the dinosaurs disappeared because of an incident that happened 65 million years ago An enormous and very heavy asteroid hit the Earth There was a huge explosion and this caused tons of dust to be blasted into the Earth’s atmosphere There was such a thick layer of dust covering our Earth that it blocked out sunlight for as long as five years That was how plants died and the dinosaurs were deprived of food Eventually they starved to death
69 Which of the following statements about the first reptiles is NOT true?
A They laid eggs B They were the ancestor of dinosaurs C They were both land and sea animals D They existed about 180 million years ago 70 What did the earliest reptiles feed on?
A insects B reptiles C plants D mammals
71 In the passage, the word “resembled” means _
A lived as long as B existed at the same time as C survived in the same way as D had similarities to
72 How were the first dinosaurs similar to reptiles?
(6)73 When did the Earth begin to have seasons?
A 100 million years ago B 65 million years ago C 180 million years ago D 60 million years ago 74 From the fifth paragraph, we know that _
A the Brontosaurus fed on other smaller dinosaurs B the Brontosaurus had sharp claws and teeth
C the largest of the dinosaurs had two legs that couldn’t support them D giant dinosaurs lived mostly in swamps and rivers
75 Which of the following statements that appear in the passage is considered a fact? A Dinosaurs were developed from reptiles
B Dinosaurs became extinct 60 million years
C The Age of the Reptiles was the period when reptiles ruled the Earth D The first reptiles ate insects
76 When an asteroid hit the Earth 65 million years ago, the following things happened, EXCEPT _ A many types of vegetation died B there were tons of dust on Earth
C there was no sunlight on Earth for a long period D there was a big explosion 77 According to the passage, dinosaurs disappeared NOT because _
A they were killed by enemies B they were killed in an explosion C they couldn’t adapt to climatic changes D they died of starvation
78 According to the next text, which is the correct order of appearance of the dinosaurs? I The first dinosaurs were about the size of a turkey
II Then came the large reptiles that ate plants III The earliest reptiles ate insect
IV Then some dinosaurs grew to be as big as elephants
A I, III, IV, II B IV, III, II, I C II, III, I, IV D III, II, I, IV
Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word or phrase that is OPPOSITE meaning to the underlined part in each of the following questions.
79 I would be happy to go along with the idea
A not to agree with the idea B to agree with the idea C to support the idea D to agree with the ideas 80 He always bends the truth

Until recently, hunting for treasure from shipwrecks was mostly fantasy; with recent technological advances, however, the search for sunken treasure has become more popular as a legitimate endeavor This has caused a debate between those wanting to salvage the wrecks and those wanting to preserve them Treasure hunters are spurred on by the thought of finding caches of gold coins or other valuable objects on a sunken ship One team of salvagers, for instance, searched the wreck of the RMS Republic, which sank outside the Boston harbor in 1900 The search party, using side-scan sonar, a device that projects sound waves across the ocean bottom and produces a profile of the sea floor, located the wreck in just two and a half days Before the use of this new technology, such searches could take months or years The team of divers searched the wreck for two months, finding silver tea services, crystal dinnerware, and thousands of bottles of wine, but they did not find the five and a half tons of American Gold Eagle coins they were searching for
Preservationists focus on the historic value of a ship They say that even if a shipwreck's treasure does not have a high monetary value, it can be an invaluable source of historic artifacts that are preserved in nearly mint condition But once a salvage team has scoured a site, much of the archaeological value is lost. Maritime archaeologists who are preservationists worry that the success of salvagers will attract more treasure-hunting expeditions and thus threaten remaining undiscovered wrecks Preservationists are lobbying their state lawmakers to legally restrict underwater searches and unregulated salvages To counter their efforts, treasure hunters argue that without the lure of gold and million-dollar treasures, the wrecks and their historical artifacts would never be recovered at all
Question 31: What is the main idea of this passage?
A Searching for wrecks is much easier with new technologies like side-scan sonar B Maritime archaeologists are concerned about the unregulated searching of wrecks C The search of the RMS Republic failed to produce the hoped-for coins
D The popularity of treasure seeking has spurred a debate between preservationists and salvagers Question 32: The word "sunken" in line is closest in meaning to which of the following words? A broken B underwater C ancient D hollow Question 33: Which of the following could best replace the phrase "a profile" as used in line 7? A a projection B an execution C a highlight D an outline Question 34: Which of the following statements is best supported by the author?
A The value of a shipwreck depends on the quantity of its artifacts
B Preservationists are fighting the use of technological advances such as side-scan sonar C Side-scan sonar has helped to legitimize salvaging
D The use of sound waves is crucial to locating shipwrecks
Question 35: The author uses the phrase "mint condition" in line 12-13 to describe A something perfect B something significant
C something tolerant D something magical
Question 36: All of the following were found on the RMS Republic EXCEPT
A wine bottles B silver tea services C American Gold Eagle coins D crystal dinnerware Question 37: From the passage, you can infer that a preservationist would be most likely to
A shun treasure-seeking salvagers B be a diver
C put treasures in a museum D archaeological research Question 38: The word "scoured" in line 13 is most similar to which of the following?
A scraped away B scratched over C scrambled around D searched through Question 39: In line 17, what is the closest meaning to the word "lure"?
(11)Question 40: The second and third paragraphs are an example of
A chronological order B explanation C specific to general D Definition

Lighthouses are towers with strong lights that help mariners plot their position, inform them that land is near, and warn them of dangerous rocks and reefs They are placed at prominent points on the coast and on islands, reefs, and sandbars
Every lighthouse has a distinctive pattern of light known as its characteristic There are five basic characteristics: fixed, flashing, occulting, group flashing, and group occulting A fixed signal is a steady beam A flashing signal has periods of darkness longer than periods of light, while an occulting signal’s periods of light are longer A group- flashing light gives off two or more flashes at regular intervals, and a group – occulting signal consists of a fixed light with two or more periods of darkness at regular intervals Some lighthouses use lights of different colours as well, and today, most lighthouses are also equipped with radio beacons The three types of apparatus used to produce the signals are the catoptric, in which metal is used to reflect the light; the dioptric, in which glass is used ; and the catadioptric, in which both glass and metal are used
In the daytime, lighthouses can usually be identified by their structure alone The most typical structure is a tower tapering at the top, but some , such as the Bastion Lighthouse on the Saint Lawrence River , are shaped like pyramids , and others , such as the Race Rock light , look like wooden houses sitting on high platforms Still others, such as The American Shoal lighthouse off the Florida Coast, are skeletal towers of steel Where lighthouses might be confused in daylight, they can be distinguished by day- marker patterns – designed of checks and stripes painted in vivid colors on lighthouse walls
In the past, the job of lighthouse keeper was lonely and difficult, If somewhat romantic Lighthouse keepers put in hours of tedious work maintaining the lights Today, lighthouses are almost entirely automated with humans supplying only occasional maintenance Because of improvements in navigational technology, the importance of lighthouses has diminished There are only about 340 functioning lighthouses in existence in the United States today, compared to about 1,500 in 1900, and there are only about 1,400 functioning lighthouses outside the United States Some decommissioned lighthouses have been preserved as historical monument
