VII/ Read the following passage and Choose the best answer

_Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture The basic function of a signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great Less adaptable to the confiscation of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves A stop sign on a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages._Although signals, signs, symbols and gestures are very useful, they have a major disadvantage They usually not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech Radio, television and the telephone are only a few

_Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available

_Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infraructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars

Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today

71 The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage EXCEPT A vans B trains C planes D trolleys

72 The author’s purpose in the passage is to A criticize conventional vehicles

B support the invention of electric cars

C narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles D describe the possibilities for transportation in the future 73 The passage would most likely be followed by details about A automated freeways

B pollution restrictions in the future C the neighborhood of the future D electric shuttle buses

74 The word “compact” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to A long-range B inexpensive C concentrated D squared

75 In the second paragraph, the author implies that

A a dependable source of electric energy will eventually be developed B everyday life will stay much the same in the future

C a single electric vehicle will eventually replace several modes of transportation D electric vehicles are not practical for the future

76 According to the passage, public parking lots of the future will be A more convenient than they are today

B equipped with charging devices C much larger than they are today D as common as today’s gas stations
