For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way;women are luckier : only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner.Perhaps,after all,it is safer to be driven by a woman! There are different forms of colour blindness.In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red,orange and yellow are all shades of green.Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green.In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green .Its a strange world indeed. In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous.For example,when fighting in the jungle at night soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other.A green light may mean “Advance” and a red light may mean “ Danger! Keep back!” You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain.In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”.These help us to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colours.There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark.They show us shape but not colour. Some insects have favourite colours.Mosquitoes like blue but do ont like yellow.A red light will not attract insects,but blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings have favourite colours.Blue is often popular because it is the colour of the cool sky and sea.Green is a peaceful colour which makes us think of wide fields and forests .Yellow is the cheerful colour of the sun. On the other hand,red is the colour of blood and fire. It makes some people think of accidents,danger and bloodshed.Black is the colour of the night.In the dark,we cannot see what is around us,so we are sometimes afraid of the unknown and do not like black as a colour.Perhaps that is why it is often the colour of mourning. Yet we are lucky.With the aid of the cones in eye we can see many beautiful colours by day,and with the help of the rods we can see shapes at night.One day we may even learn more about the invisible colours around us.51.This passage is mainly about _.A. colour blindness.B. women being luckier than men.C. danger caused by colour blindness.D. colour and its surprising effects.52.Which of the following is TRUE?A. More men suffer from colour blindness than women.B. More women are affected by colour blindness than men.C. Twice as many women suffer from colour blindness.D. Its safer to say females are better drivers than males.53.All those who are colour blind_.A. see everything in shades of green.B. cannot tell the difference between blue and green.C. think the world they live in is a deep red one.D. none of the above54.Which of the following is NOT true?A. Millions of cones in the human eye help us tell the difference between colours.B. Cones can protect us from colour blindness.C. Rods only show shape and help us see in the dark.D. We see everything in a bright light because of the cones in the eye.55. We can safely say_.A. there are more colours than those we see with our eyes.B. blue,green yellow,red ,black mentioned in the passage are only colours ever known.C. yellow is the favourite colour of mosquitoes and other insects.D. people like blue much better than other colours.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage: The safety of ships at sea does not depend only on the arrangements made in the ships themselves.Dangerous coasts and rocks may be seen in the daytime,but they are a threat to safe navigation at night.Lighthouses are therefore erected at such places to warn sailors of the danger.Modern lighthouses are put up at all dangerous places near the courses followed by ships.On some rocky coasts several lighthouses may be built not far from each other,and in order that the sailors on a ship may know which is which,they have different arrangements of light .One lighthouse will give a single flash at regular intervals,another may give two flashes;a third may give two followed by one,and so on.By watching the lights the navigator is able to decide exactly where he is,and he can set his course with confidence.In the approaches to some ports two continuous lights are set up,one above the other but some distance behind;when they appear from the sea one above the other,the ship is on the right course;but if they do not,the captain knows that he is off his course and likely to strike a rock on the bottom of the sea. In the planning and construction of a lighthouse,everything possible must be done to prevent its being blown down in a high wind or destroyed by high seas.It is usually round so as to present as little resistance to the wind as possible.Its walls are of thick and heavy stone or concrete so that its own weight will make it difficult to destroy.It must be high enough for its light to be seen far away,but it is not always true to say that the higher it is,the better.The upper layers of air in some areas are more likely to be misty(雾的)than the lower ones;then, if the light is too high,it will not be seen very well.Some lighthouses in the past had to be made lower after they had been built,when it was found that the light was often hidden in the upper mists.56.Lighthouses have different systems of flashes.The purpose of this arrangement is _.A. to tell sailors different kinds of danger.B. to show sailors different courses of the seaC. to help sailors decide the postion of their shipD. to ensure that lights can flash at regular intervals57. If the captain of a ship sees two continuous lights,one above the other,he knows that his ship_.A. is sailing on the right courseB. is off the safe courseC. is likely to strike a rock D. is sailing on a shallow course58. Lighthouses are usually designed in round shape_.A. to prevent their being blown down in a high windB. to give flashes of lights in all directionsC. to avoid being destroyed by high seasD. to strengthen the construction of lighthouses59. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Lighthouses should be built as high as possible.B. Lighthouses should be built at all dangerous places near the courses.C. Lighthouses should be built high enough for their lights to be seen far away. D. Lighthouses should be put to a high place where there is not much mist.60. In the sentence “-and in order that the sailors on a ship may know which is which, they have different arrangements of lights”, “which”refers to _. A. ships B.rocks C. lighthouses D.coursesQuestions 61to 65 are based on the following passage: In the course of just thirty years,television has become the single most important form of entertainment in most American homes.While entertainment has been the focus up to the present,the real importance of television is only now being discovered. In the future,television communications will serve many significant functions in the home.Already we have cassette tapes of programs,and we are able to use the home screen to play games such as electronic tennis and football.Eventually,students might prefer to talk to an instructor on television through special attachments to their home sets,and this could mean the end of public schools as we know them. Most of all,television will become a place for creative ideas.Instead of passively watching programs the way we do now,new development will allow us to participate in shows and to feel and sense directly the emotions of the actors we watch.Also,there will be methods that will let us shape and create our own shows.We may even be able to press a button and have our own light show displayed on the screen.We will be able to think of an image and see that image flash on the screen in front of us.Different people in different places will be able to exchange ideas through television and even to interrupt and comment on shows for the benefit of performers in the television studio. Television is a necessary part of out technological future.Now is the time for us to consider it as a responsibility,so that,when the new inventions make it more interesting to watch television, our own ideas and creative talents will be ready and waiting to make the technology of television more beneficial for all.61.
