valleys of the river Nile straddle the hot desert land of Egypt Rain is relatively scarce, and the summers are scorching hot Nevertheless the strip of land, known as the Cultivation, on either side of the Nile is reputed to be one of the most fertile places in the world Its rich black soil is the result of accumulation of silt deposited by the annual flooding of the Nile thousands of years ago From June to October, the river overflowed its banks Modern damps were then constructed to control the flooding The floodwaters left behind a rich sticky black mud which made it suitable for the cultivation of crops As long as the soil was well irrigated, two or three crops could be grown in one season Its rich soil led to the growth and rise of the brilliant civilization of the ancient Egyptians on the Nile valley more than 5000 years ago The earliest Egyptians had acquired the skills to till the land along the banks, drawing along the Nile became wealthy, they embarked on projects of digging ditches and constructing dams to control the floods In about 3100 BC, the whole Egypt was united under the reign of King Menes He and his descendants made up Egypt's first ruling family, or dynasty His rule led to the great development of the arts like writing, painting, architecture, and crafts Egyptian power and influence were to last for the next 2000 years The Egyptian kings had absolute powers The king possesses all the land, and the peasants had to surrender part of their crops to the king An army of officials and scribes did the task of collecting the exact amount of due from the individual farmers Crops and livestock were often seen at the storehouses surrounding the royal palaces In return for their uphill task, the king paid his officials and dishes out funds for huge irrigation projects Egypt's trade with the outside world stretches far and wide In return for gold, copper, gemstones, and building stones, it purchases the goods that it did not have Timber, resins, oils, silver and slaves came from Lebanon From Deria and Anatolia came horses, while the blue stone called lapis lazuli was imported from Mesopotamia Strong forts were constructed to protect

pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetations, or materials adversely Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled-a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentrations of these pollutants were altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycle These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil on a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting form human activities However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In this localized regions, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycle The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however, as a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm Question 61: What does the

A They function as part of a purification process B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants (6) C They are less harmful to living beings than are other pollutants D They have existed since the Earth developed Question 66: According to the passage, which of the following is true about human-generated air pollution in localized regions? A It can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants in the localized region B It can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants C It will damage areas outside of the localized regions D It will react harmfully with naturally occurring pollutants Question 67: The word "noxious' in line 16 is closest in meaning to _ A harmful B noticeable C extensive D weak Question 68:According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if A the other substances in the area are known B it is in a localized area C the naturally occurring level is also known D it can be calculated quickly Question 69: The word "detectable" in line 21 is closest in meaning to A beneficial B special C measurable D separable Question 70: Which of the following is best supported by the passage?

laws C Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants D Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution Read the following passage and mark

many would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees Question 36: The title for this passage could be _ A “Desert Plants” B “Life Underground” C “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” D “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment” Question 37: The word “inexorable” in the passage mostly means _ A relentless B full C demanding D essential Question 38: Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as _ A sources of flowing water are rare in a desert (10) B water is an essential part of his existence C water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things D very few large animals are found in the desert Question 39: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _ A water-loving animals B the coyote and the bobcat C moist-skinned animals D many large animals Question 40: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _ A are smaller and fleeter than forest animals B live in an accommodating environment C are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest D are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world Question 41: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT _ A they sleep during the day B they dig home underground C they are noisy and aggressive D they are watchful and quiet Question 42: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means _ A wild B cunning C unmanageable D unhealthy Question 43: the word “Them” means A animals B people C water D minutes Question 44: The word “burrows” in the passage mostly means _ A “places where insects or other small creatures live and produce their young” B “holes or tunnels in the ground made by animals for them to live in” C “structures made of metal bars in which animals or birds are kept” D “places where a particular type of animal or plant is normally found” Question 45: We can infer from the passage that _ A living things adjust to their environment B water is the basis of desert life C desert life is colorful and diverse D healthy animals live longer lives Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from number 46 to 50 Let children learn to judge their own work A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them We it all for him We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher Let him it himself Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book Let him correct his own papers Why should we teachers waste time on (11) such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exam, marks Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or not know Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry!

The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated Advocates of organic foods- a term whose meaning varies greatly- frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the foods supply is unsafe or inadequate in the meeting nutritional needs Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and formed the basic for folklore Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like (13) One thing that most organically grown foods products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe foods So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy expensive organic foods instead Question 66 The “ welcome development” mentioned in paragraph is an increase in A interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans B the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet C the amount of healthy foods grown in North America D the number of consumers in North America Question 67 According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term “organic foods”? A It is accepted by most nutritionists B It has been used only in recent years C It has no fixed meaning D It is seldom used by consumers Question 68 The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because A organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods B many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods C conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods D too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops Question 69 According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than conventionally grown foods are often A careless B mistaken C thrifty D wealthy Question 70 What is the author’s attitude towards the claims made by advocates of health foods? A Very enthusiastic B Skeptical C Neutral D Somewhat favorable Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks Interpreting the feelings of other people is not always easy, as we all know, and we (71) ………… as much on what they seem to be telling us, as on the actual words they say Facial (72) …………… and tone of voice are obvious ways of showing our (73) to something, and it may well be that we unconsciously express views that we are trying to hide The art of being (74) ……… lies in picking up these signals, realizing what the other person is trying to say, and acting so that they are not embarrassed in any way For example, we may understand that they are in fact (75) …………… to answer our question, and so we stop pressing them Body movements in general may also indicate feelings, and interviewers often pay particular attention to the way a candidate for a job walks into the room and sits down However it is not difficult to present the right kind of appearance, while what many employers want to know relates to the candidate’s character traits, and (76) ………… stability This raises the awkward question of whether job candidates should be asked to complete psychological tests, and the further problem of whether such tests actually produce (77) …………… results For many people, being asked to take part in such a test would be an objectionable (78) ……………… into their private lives After all, a prospective employer would hardly ask a candidate to run a hundred meters, or expect his or her family doctor to provide (79) …………… medical information Quite apart from this problem, can such tests predict whether a person is likely to be a (80) ……………… employee or a values colleague?

literature of great abundance and variety New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new audiences all emerged in the literature of this half century (5) As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature had evolved remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest No longer was it produced, at least in its popular forms, in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically (10) correct, middle-class young people the only central characters in its narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle class women In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition (15) Walt Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work, each state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes the world connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all nations." At the same time, these years saw the emergence of what has been designated "the literature of argument," powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit (20) of exposure and reform Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as an autonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literature establish itself as a producer of major works 41 The word evolved in line is closest in meaning to _ (A) became famous (B) turned back (C) changed (D) diminished 42 The word it in line refers to (A) American literature (B) the energy (C) the population (D) the manufacturing 43 The author uses the word indeed in line 13 for what purpose?

Is this simply nostalgia? Or is it rather that we need to believe in an image of the world which is (59) the opposite of what we see around us? Whichever it is, at least it leaves us with a nagging feeling that the present could be better, and perhaps (60) - us to be a little more critical about the way we live 51 A between B from C with D in 52 A to B out of C or D from 53 A virtually B so C steadily D out 54 A considerably B at least C rarely D not only 55 A more B somehow C whatsoever D as 56 A usually B different C other D rather 57 A especially B hardly C simply D specifically 58 A tendency B custom C habit D practice 59 A utterly B widely C quite D rather 60 A makes B encourages C reassures D supports Questions 61 - 65 : Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction 61 For centuries, philosophers and artists alike have debated the meaning of beauty and A B questioned whether it real or only perceived C D 62 The purpose of the United Nations, broad speaking, is to maintain peace and security A B C and to encourage respect for human rights (31) D 63 There will always be a job for Mike if he change his mind A B C D 64 Owing to their superior skill, highly competitive athletes have been known to win A B C contests and break records even when suffered from injuries, physical disorders, and D infections 65 Language is important factor in the accumulation of culture A B C D Questions 66 – 70 Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the rest in the position of the main stress in each of the following questions: Question 66 : A contribute B complimentC bacteria D procedure Question 67 : A stagnant B desert C interest D install Question 68 : A sacrifice B maintenance C disaster D overview Question 69 : A rhinoceros B curriculum C kindergarten D discriminate Question 70 : A millennium B incredible C fascinating D philosopher Questions 71 - 80 : Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C ,or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions (1) Aging is the process of growing old It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or accident does not kill it prematurely The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in (5) hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat Plants age too, but the signs are much harder to detect Most body plants grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood (10) They reach their peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood After that they begin to decline Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and more brittle In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more flexible This can make moving very painful (15) All the major organs of the body show signs aging The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and even gets smaller in size Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down Old people often have trouble in remembering recent events (20) One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the heart They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest (25) of body This condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged It may, for example, result in heart attack Aging is not a uniform process Different parts of the body wear out at different rates There are great differences among people in their rate of aging Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age The majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they wear out Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging - believe the wearing out of the body is controlled by a built - in biological time - clock They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the process This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years 71 What is the main idea in the first paragraph?

many would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees Question 41: The title for this passage could be _ A “Desert Plants” B “Life Underground” (60) C “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” D “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment” Question 42: The word “inexorable” in the passage mostly means _ A relentless B full C demanding D essential Question 43: Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as _ A sources of flowing water are rare in a desert B water is an essential part of his existence C water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things D very few large animals are found in the desert Question 44: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _ A water-loving animals B the coyote and the bobcat C moist-skinned animals D many large animals Question 45: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _ A are smaller and fleeter than forest animals B live in an accommodating environment C are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest D are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world Question 46: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT _ A they sleep during the day B they dig home underground C they are noisy and aggressive D they are watchful and quiet Question 47: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means _ A wild B cunning C unmanageable D unhealthy Question 48: the word “Them” means A animals B people C water D minutes Question 49: The word “burrows” in the passage mostly means _ A “places where insects or other small creatures live and produce their young” B “holes or tunnels in the ground made by animals for them to live in” C “structures made of metal bars in which animals or birds are kept” D “places where a particular type of animal or plant is normally found” Question 50: We can infer from the passage that _ A living things adjust to their environment B water is the basis of desert life C desert life is colorful and diverse D healthy animals live longer lives Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from number 51 to 55 Let children learn to judge their own work A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them We it all for him We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher Let him it himself Let him work out, with the (61) help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book Let him correct his own papers Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exam, marks Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or not know Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it Question 51: What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?

The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated Advocates of organic foods- a term whose meaning varies greatly- frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the foods supply is unsafe or inadequate in the meeting nutritional needs Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and formed the basic for folklore Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like One thing that most organically grown foods products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe foods So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy expensive organic foods instead Question 76 The “ welcome development” mentioned in paragraph is an increase in A interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans B the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet C the amount of healthy foods grown in North America D the number of consumers in North America Question 77 According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term “organic foods”? A It is accepted by most nutritionists B It has been used only in recent years C It has no fixed meaning D It is seldom used by consumers Question 78 The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because A organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods B many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods C conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods D too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops Question 79 According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than conventionally grown foods are often A careless B mistaken C thrifty D wealthy Question 80 What is the author’s attitude towards the claims made by advocates of health foods? A Very enthusiastic B Skeptical C Neutral D Somewhat favorable Mã đề 002 B Mã đề 002 41 C (64) 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 C D D B A A C A D B C A A A A D D D C A B B A A D C A B C D A A C D C D D B B 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 A B B A C D A B A A B D B C C C D A D B A C A D C A D B A C D A D A A C A B B đề thi THử đại học NĂM HọC 2010-2011 - Môn: tiếng anh, Khối d - 456 ĐỀ THI GỒM 80 CÂU (TỪ QUESTION ĐẾN QUESTION 80) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks from to 10 Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age At a special (1) in Los Angeles, children become expert at holding their (2) under water even before they can walk Babies of two months old not appear to be reluctant to enter the (3) .It is not long before they are so accustomed to (4) that they can pick up weights from the (5) of the pool A game that is very popular with these young (6) is the underwater tricycle race Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool (65) seven feet under (7) The children compete against each other to reach the other end of the (8) .Many pedal their tricycles, but most of them prefer to push or drag them Some children can cover the whole length of the pool (9) coming up for breath even once Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time will tell Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us who cannot swim five yards (10) they are gasping for air Question 1: A swimming pool B church C stadium D park Question 2: A clothes B breath C hands D heads Question 3: A swimming pool B water C house D club Question 4: A jogging B talking C swimming D walking Question 5: A top B side C base D floor Question 6: A swimmers B football- layers C singers D coaches Question 7: A age B ground C water D sun Question 8: A sea B pool C lake D river Question 9: A owing to B by C with D without Question 10: A before B after C when D as soon as Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 11 to 20 History books record that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927 But sound films, or "talkies", did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy- sound-effects machines Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly the same time as the pictures – called "synchronized sound" – began soon after the very first films were shown With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence In the "sound-on-film" system, sounds were recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922 This system eventually brought us "talking pictures" Question 11: The passage is mainly about the A history of silent movies B disadvantages of synchronized sound C development of sound with movies D research into sound reproduction Question 12: According to the passage, films using sound effects were screened A before 1896 B as early as 1896 C as early as 1922 D in 1927 Question 13: The word "screenings" is closest in meaning to A projections B revelations C demonstrations D diversions Question 14: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a producer of sound to accompany movies?

(66) 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 that 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, transportation 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 infrastructure 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 a freeway today Question 21: The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage except A vans B trains C planes D trolleys Question 22: 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

neighborhood of the future D electric shuttle buses Question 24: The word "compact" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to A long-range B inexpensive C concentrated.D squared Question 25: In

will eventually replace several modes of transportation D electric vehicles are not practical for the future Question 26: According to the passage, public parking lots of the future will be A more
