Rice field art in Japan
A small farming community in Inakadate, Japan, has invented an (21. ORIGIN) _
new art form.
It
all began in 1993 when villagers were looking for ways to make their
(22.SURROUND) more attractive to tourists. The villagers came up with an interesting
(23.S0LVE) They decided to create enormous pictures in the field by using a
(24.COMBINE) of ancient farming techniques and art. To do this, they
(25.CARE) planned the design they wanted; then planted rice of different colors. By the
end of the summer, the rice had grown and the masterpiece was ready. Now each year hundreds of
volunteers and villagers plant four (26. DIFFER) varieties of rice in late May over huge
areas of fields. During the summer, as the plants grow, the artwork can be seen. Although the artwork
is (27. POSSIBLE) to see from the ground, it is clearly visible from the top of the village
tower. The villagers have (28. CERTAIN) achieved their goal of attracting tourism to the
area. Inakadate has only 8,700 (29. INHABIT) , but over 150,000 tourists a year now
come to this small farming village to see its (30. EXCEPTION) art work.

Dictionaries are (0) AMONG the most important tools of self-education. (1) Samuel
Johnsonwrote his influential English dictionary in the eighteenth century, the work kept'him busy for
seven years. At the end of that period he (2) written the meanings of over forty thousand
words. Most modem dictionaries require a (3) deal less time and effort to write
because writers often use earlier dictionaries as a source of reference. Nowadays, most dictionaries
are put together by teams of writers, or lexicographers. Sometimes they need to work together in
meetings; at other times they work independently of (4) other, on different parts of the
dictionary. At one time, the starting point for deciding on which words to include used to be the
lexicographer's own knowledge. These days, teams (5) use of a large collection of
examples of (6) only writing but also every day speech, which is known as a corpus.
Teams also refer (7) books and articles about language as (8) as asking experts
in particular subjects about the more specialized words. Finally, ordinary people are asked to say
what they think about the way the words are defined and whether they find the examples provided
helpful or not.zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcbaZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA

Read the passage carefully and answer the given questions. (2,0points)
In 1900 the United States had only three cities with more than a million residents-
New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. By 1930, it had ten giant metropolises. The newer
ones experienced remarkable growth, which reflected basic changes in the economy.
Line
The population of Los Angeles (114,000 in 1900) rose spectacularly in the early
(5) decades of the twentieth century, increasing a dramatic 1,400 percent from 1900to 1930.
A number of circumstances contributed to the meteoric rise of Los Angeles. The
agricultural potential of the area was enormous if water for irrigation could be found, and
the city founders had the vision and dating to obtain it by constructing a 225-mile
aqueduct, completed in 1913, to tap the water of the Owens River. The city had a superb
(10) natural harbor, as well as excellent rail connections. The climate made it possible to shoot
motion pictures year-round; hence Hollywood. Hollywood not only supplied jobs; it
disseminated an image of the good life in Southern California on screens all across the
nation. The most important single industry powering the growth of Los Angeles, however,
was directly linked to the automobile. The demand for petroleum to fuel gasoline engines
(15) led to the opening of the Southern California oil fields, and made Los Angeles North
America's greatest refining center.
Los Angeles was a product of the auto age in another sense as well: its distinctive
spatial organization depended on widespread private ownership of automobiles. Los
Angeles was a decentralized metropolis, sprawling across the desert landscape over an
(20) area of 400 square miles.
It
was a city without a real center. The downtown business
district did not grow apace with the city as a whole, and the rapid transit system designed
