Each of the passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Passage One Lemons in Used Car MarketSuppose that you, a college student of somewhat limited means, are in the market for a used pickup truck. The following ad in a local used car publication catches your eyes.1993 Ford Ranger, bilk, 4WD, a/cAM/FM/ ., show room condition.Call 555-1234 after 5 p.mThis is exactly the kind of vehicle you want, so you call to inquire about the price. The price you are quoted over the phone is $2,000 lower than the price for this model with this equipment listed in a used car guidebook. Instead of being ecstatic, however, you are suspicious.For many products, when you must pay less than the going rate, you believe you are getting a great deal. This is not necessarily the case for used cars or other durable goods(washing machines and television sets, for example) because with expensive products-or, what is essentially the same thing, products with high replacement costs-you must be particularly careful about getting a lemon. Or a product of substandard quality.In addition to asking the price, the age of a car-or any other consumer durable-is a factor when you are trying to determine whether a seller is attempting to unload a lemon. While people have all sorts of reasons for wanting to sell their cars-even relatively new cars-most people hold off until they have put many thousands of miles on a car or until the used car is several years old. You would probably be as suspicious of a car that is too new as you would a car that is too good a deal. In fact, you are probably willing to pay a high price for a high-quality used car. While this price would certainly be acceptable to the seller, the competitive market might not facilitate such trades. 16 The beginning of this passage assumes that college studentsA) are very clever but not very rich.B) Are very capable but not very diligent.C) Have limited material resourcesD) Are not rich. 17. The passage indicated that, sometimes when you find a product of an unexpectedly low price.A) You are very happy/B) You are rather suspicious.C) You are filled with happiness as well as surprise.D) You feel uneasy.18.Lemon in this passage refers toA) a kind of fruit.B) A kind of new car.C) A kind of expensive and high-quality car.D) A product of inferior quality.19.If you want to know if the seller is trying to unload a lemon, youA) take the age of the car into consideration.B) Take the price of the lemon into considerationC) Consider how many miles the car has run.D) Consider both the price as well as the age of the car.20.It can be concluded from the passage that in the used car market,A) used cars are generally cheap.B) Used cars are generally expensiveC) Used cars are actually brand newD) Car buyers are willing to pay a high price for a used car. Passage TwoThe Greatest Show on EarthThe Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world. Every four years, a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport. As many as 6,000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honor, too, for all who compete, win or lose. That is in spirit of the Olympics-to take part is what matters.The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first. For it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held- the host country-marches in last.The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsman march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display?The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sorts in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field, but it is a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in a different sport-riding, shooting, swimming, and cross-country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.More and more women are taking part in the games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf, which are no longer held in the Olympics, Womens swimming events were introduced in 1912. But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now, they compete in all but half a-dozen of the sports. In horse riding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as the men.21. why is there honor for the losers as well as for the winners?A)Because failure is the mother of the success.B)Because losers need encouragement, too.C)Because losers and winners should be equally treated.D)Because what really matters is to take part in the Olympic Games.22. Which of the following is a long-established practice in the opening ceremony?A)Runners enter the stadium with torches.B)Each team has to put on a wonderful display.C)The Greek team marches in first.D)Men and women were magnificent clothes. 23.

When did women start taking part in Olympic Games?A)In 1912.B)In 1900.C)In 1928.D)In 1924.Passage Three one-room schools one-room schools are part of the united states, and the mention of them makes people feel a vague longing for the way things were. one-room schools are an endangered species, however. for more than a hundred years one-room schools have been systematically shut down and their students sent away to centralized schools. as recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one-room schools in the united states. by 1970 there were 1,800. today, of the nearly 800 remaining one-room schools, more than 350 are in Nebraska. the rest are scattered through a few other states that have on their road maps wide-spaces between towns. now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that maybe there is something yet to be learned form one-room schools, something that served the pioneers that might serve as well today. progressive educators have come up with progressive-sounding names like peer-group teaching and multi-age grouping for educational procedures that occur naturally in the one-room schools. in a one-room schools the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else. a fourth grader can work at a fifth-grade level in math and a third-grade level in english without the stigma associated with being left back or the pressures of being skipped ahead. a youngster with a learning disability can find his or her own level without being separated from the other pupils. in larger urban and suburban schools today, this is called mainstreaming. a few hours is a small school that has only one classroom and it becomes clear why so many parents feel that one of the advantages of living in nebraska in their children have to go to a one-room school. 26. it is implied in the passage that many educators and parents today feel that one-room schools A)need to be shut down. B)are the best in Nebraska. C)are a good example of the good old day. D)provide good education. 27. why are one-room schools in danger of disappearing? A)because they all exist in one state.

B)teachers are always busy. C)pupils have more freedom. D)learning is not limited to one grade level at a time. 29. which of the following can best describe the authors toward one-room schools?
