Passage 1 Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters. The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of varied lengths. There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students who wish to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters. In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any other quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to serve the greatest number of students. But there are several disadvantages as well. Many faculties complain that the eleven - week term is simply not enough for them to cover the material required by most college courses. Students also find it difficult to complete the assignments in such a short period of time. In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system, some colleges and universities have instituted a three - term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty and students have more time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to graduate early. 1. The word "customary" in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ______. A. standard B. default C. traditional D. limited 10
2. Where would this passage most probably be found? A. In an American newspaper. B. In a dictionary published in the United States. C. In a general guide to colleges and universities in the United States. D. In a college catalog for a university in the United States. 3. A semester system ______. A. has eleven-week sessions B. isn't very popular in the United States C. has two major sessions a year D. gives students the opportunity to study year round 4. The word "instituted" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. A. recommended B. established C. considered D. familiarized 5. How many terms are there in a quarter system? A. Four regular terms and one summer term. B. Two regular terms and two summer terms. C. One regular term and four summer terms. D. Three regular terms and one summer term. 6. Which of the following characteristics does NOT apply to trimesters? A. They are long enough to cover the course material. B. They last eleven weeks. C. They provide more options for admission. D. They allow students to graduate early. 7. The word "them" in paragraph 2 refers to ______. A. material B. faculties C. courses D. weeks Passage 2 A greenhouse is a building whose sides and roof are made of glass so that the temperature inside is magnified. And it's used to grow plants that need high temperatures. This is to illustrate an example of how man could be causing changes to the climate. These changes result from increasing the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, thus raising the surface temperature of the Earth. And this is known as 11
the "Greenhouse Effect." CO2 is a normal component of the atmosphere and until recently has not been considered an air pollutant. But average global CO2 concentrations have been increasing since 1860, with particularly sharp increase in 1958. The main reason for this continuous increase in CO2 build-up is the burning of fossil fuels. During the past 100 years, the CO2 content of the atmosphere has already risen by about 15% - from about 290 to about 340 parts per million! And it's still rising. Although the CO2 content of the atmosphere is only about 0.032%, it's a major factor in determining average global temperature. Incoming sunlight consists of many wavelengths including some very dangerous ones. But ozone in the upper atmosphere and water vapor and CO2 in the lower atmosphere filter out or destroy most of the harmful wavelengths, so what reaches the Earth is mostly visible light. It's absorbed by land, sea and cloud and is reradiated in the atmosphere as longer wavelength infrared radiation, or heat, as the Earth cools. Much of this infrared radiation is absorbed by CO2. The CO2 then radiates a portion of the absorbed heat energy back to the Earth to warm the atmosphere. Rather like the glass in a greenhouse or a car window on sunny day, CO2 in the atmosphere acts as a one-way filter that allows visible light to enter the Earth's atmosphere, but prevents longer wavelength heat radiation from leaving. Assuming that energy is arriving from the sun at a constant rate, then as the level of CO2 increases, the average surface temperature of the earth should rise. 1. What is the purpose of using a greenhouse? A. To give an example of atmospheric changes caused by man. B. To magnify temperature to grow plants requiring high temperatures C. To give an example of buildings whose sides and roof are made of glass D. To indicate the rising level of CO2 in the earth's atmosphere 2. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 1? A. The sides and roof of a greenhouse are made of glass. B. Plants need high temperatures to grow. C. What is the "Greenhouse Effect"? D. A greenhouse is used for growing plants. 3. Why is CO2 considered an air pollutant? 12
A. CO2 is a normal component of the atmosphere. B. Global CO2 concentrations have been increasing. C. CO2 is a by-product of the burning of fossil fuels. D. CO2 raises the surface temperature of the Earth. 4. What is NOT true according to the information from the passage? A. The level of CO2 has risen by as much as 15%. B. The sun emits some very dangerous wavelengths. C. A portion of sunlight is filtered out before entering the Earth. D. CO2 allows sunlight to enter and leave the Earth's atmosphere. 5. What is the best title for the passage? A. The "Greenhouse Effect" and how CO2 warms the atmosphere. B. The level of CO2 at present compared with that in the past. C. Ozone and water vapor with filtering out harmful wavelengths. D. The "Greenhouse Effect" used for growing plants. Passage 3 Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects of global warming. Scientists have already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration patterns due to warmer temperatures. With further warming, animals will tend to migrate towards the poles and up mountainsides towards higher elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grew too warm. In many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland blocking their way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those found in polar and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not possible. For example, polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea ice but have nowhere farther north to go. Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some 13
scientists have estimated that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further warming. The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some species and even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough and may disappear. Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer ocean temperatures can cause coral to “bleach", a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral. Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to widespread bleaching and death of coral reefs around the world. Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems. ("Global Warming" by Michael Mastrandrea and Stephen H. Schneider) 1. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Influence of climate changes on human lifestyles. B. Effects of global warming on animals and plants. C. Global warming and possible solutions. D. Global warming and species migration. 2.

A. they may be endangered B. they can begin to develop C. they move to tropical forests D. they will certainly need water 5. The word “fragile” in paragraph 4 most probably means ______. A. very large B. easily damaged C. rather strong D. pretty hard 6. The bleaching of coral reefs as mentioned in paragraph 4 indicates ______. A. the water absorption of coral reefs B. the slow death of coral reefs C. the blooming phase of sea weeds D. the quick growth of marine mammals 14
7. The level of acidity in the ocean is increased by ______. A. the rising amount of carbon dioxide entering the ocean B. the decrease of acidity of the pole waters C. the extinction of species in coastal areas D. the loss of acidity in the atmosphere around the earth Passage 4 One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction makes it one of the truly wonders of the world. The thirteen- acre structure near the Nile River is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber of the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west - an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshippers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations. Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past, present and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers and this one is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial beings of ancient past. Was this superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any known today? 1. What has research of the base revealed? A. There are cracks in the foundation. B. Tomb robbers have stolen the Pharaoh’s body. C. The lines represent important events. D. A superior race of people built in. 15
2. Extraterrestrial beings are ______. A. very strong workers B. astronomers in the ancient times C. researchers in Egyptology D. living beings from other planets 3. The word “feat” in the first paragraph is closet in meaning to ______. A. accomplishment B. appendage C. festivity D. structure 4. In the second passage, the word “prophesied” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______. A. affiliated B. precipitated C. terminated D. foretold 5. On what did the ancient Egyptians base their calculations? A. Observation of the celestial bodies. B. Advanced technology. C. Advanced tools of measurement. D. Knowledge of the earth’s surface. Passage 5 It was once believed that being overweight was healthy, but nowadays few people subscribe to this viewpoint. While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being conducted concerning the appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and biochemical factors. Some of the conclusions of these studies may give insights into how to deal with weight problems. For example, when several hundred people were asked about their eating habits in times of stress, 44 percent said they reacted to stressful situations by eating. Further investigations with both humans and animals indicated that it is not food which relieves tension but rather the act of chewing. A test in which subjects were blindfolded showed that obese people have a keener sense of taste and crave more flavorful food than non-obese people. When deprived of the variety and intensity of tastes, obese people are not satisfied and consequently eat more to fulfill this need. Blood samples taken from people after they were shown a picture of food revealed that overweight people reacted with an increase in blood insulin, a chemical associated with appetite. This did not happen to average-weight people. In another experiment, results showed that certain people have a specific, biologically induced hunger for carbohydrates. Eating carbohydrates raise the level of 16
serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Enough serotonin produces a sense of satiation, and hunger for carbohydrates subsides. Exercise has been recommended as an important part of a weight-loss program. However, it has been found that mild exercise, such as using the stairs instead of the elevator, is better in the long run than taking on a strenuous program, such as jogging, which many people find difficult to continue over long periods of time and which also increases appetite.
