For questions 51 – 55, you are to choose one best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question. Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each month. But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Despite his salary, earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and profit-sharing, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage or obtain credit cards. He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus- driver. His company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,” he said. “I suppose £35,000 sounds a lot but actually that’s being pessimistic. I hope it will come to more than that this year”. He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother £20 a week. But most of his spare time spent working. “Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “but I had been studied it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young anyway.” David added: “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”

Human memory, formerly believed to be rather inefficient, is really more sophisticated than that of a computer. Researchers approaching the problem from a variety of points of view have all concluded that there is a great deal more stored in our minds than has been generally supposed. Dr. Wilder Penfield, a Canadian neurosurgeon, proved that by stimulating their brains electrically, he could elicit the total recall of specific events in his subjects’ lives. Even dreams and other minor events supposedly forgotten for many years suddenly emerged in detail. Although the physical basis for memory is not yet understood, one theory is that the fantastic capacity for storage in the brain is the result of an almost unlimited combination of interconnections between brain cells, stimulated by patterns of activity. Repeated references to the same information support recall. Or, to say that another way, improved performance is the result of strengthening the chemical bonds in the memory. 51. With what topic is the passage mainly concerned? A. Wilder Penfield B. Neurosurgery C. Human memory D. Chemical reactions 52. According to the passage, researchers have concluded that A. the mind has a much greater capacity for memory than was previously believed. B. the physical basis for memory is clear. C. different points of view are valuable. D. human memory is inefficient. 53. How did Penfield elicit dreams and other minor events from the past? A. By surgery B. By electric stimulation C. By repetition D. By chemical stimulation 54. According to the passage, the capacity for storage in the brain A. can be understood by examining the physiology. B. is stimulated by patterns of activity. C. has a limited combination of relationships.
D. is not influenced by repetition. 55. The word “bonds” in the last line means A. promises. B. agreements. C. connections. D. responsibilities. Keys to (1 – 2 ) 1. A 16. A 31. D 46. C 2. B 17. D 32.

Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth's history called the Mesozoic Era, which is also known as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge. The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words meaning terrible lizard. Dinosaurs were not lizards, but their appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modem-day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur, and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however; some were actually no larger than a chicken. Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaurs to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth's climate. It is believed that temperatures dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive. 51. What is the best title for this passage? A. The History of Earth B. Earth's Largest Reptiles C. The Metabolism of Dinosaurs D. The Domination of the Land 52. It can be inferred from the passage that the Age of Reptiles lasted about ________. A. 135 million years B. 200 million years C. 80 million years D. 65 million years
