Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet 1 with a single line through the center.Lie detectors are widely used in the United States to find out whether a person is telling the truth or not. Polygraphers, the people who operate them, claim that they can establish _36_ by detecting physiological changes that accompany emotional stress. Most people would probably think this method was _37_ but recent research not only raises doubts about how lie detectors should be used at all.The reason seems to be that _39_ are themselves capable of making mistakes. Perfectly innocent people _40_ nothing to be afraid of often _41_ when a customs officer asks them questions. _42_ which produces a heightened electrical response on the _43_ does not always indicate guilt. It _44_ whether the subject is afraid of being found out or _45_ afraid of being wrongfully convicted. But a person _46_ past experience that has prepared him for such tests can _47_ the lie detector by reacting violently to neutral questions. So the lie detector, _48_ it may prove some people guilty, may also place innocent people under _49_.It seems _50_ that a much more effective way of using lie detectors has not been put into _51_ more often. The method consists in asking the subject to read aloud certain statements about the crime _52_ he is connected to the lie detector. Anyone who is unaware of the true facts would make _53_ distinction between saying “the thieves used a red car” and “the thieves used a blue car”. But a person who was _54_ in the crime might well _55_ himself.36. A. evidence B. suspicion C. guilt D. criminal37. A. necessary B. valuable C. innocent D. mechanical38.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. 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 Answer sheet 1 with a single line through the center.Passage 1 Within the next days, the British Government will announce whether it intends to give those disabled people already qualified to drive powered vehicles either a weekly “mobility” allowance or some form of modified four-wheel car. What is certain is that the three-wheel will no longer be issued, and the scandalous list of unnecessary deaths and injuries it has caused to already handicapped people can now be closed.It has been government policy for many years to provide a three-wheeled petrol- or battery-driven car, known as tricycle, for those people with sufficient ability to handle simple controls and react adequately to other traffic. Despite the illusion that its three-point support gives stability, the tricycle has been shown to be more unstable than four-wheelers. In the past two years, more than 250 of the most up to- date models overturned, and there are over 16,000 injured drivers whose claims for compensation are still pending.The rising number of complaints and accidents resulting solely from the bad design of the vehicle has prodded various governments into (a) denying that it was unsafe, (b) admitting it was unsafe but pleading it was the best solution available, and (c) withdrawing the right of the disabled to the tricycle. This latter decision is the one currently under review. Yet there are comparatively cheap and technically sound solutions already available to this problem. Of course, with adequate funds almost any degree of handicap can be met, but without going far beyond the existing allocation, the 21,000 people at present driving tricycles could be supplied with vehicles as safe as the four wheeled equivalents. What appears to be an economic difficulty is that the low number of drivers involved does not provide a sufficiently large market for a car along these lines, and, once established, careful design at the planning stage could make optional variations for the disabled cheap to incorporate.Not only would a mass produced car offer financial relief to a government with limited resources, it might even provide a market for an industry now beset with problems of under employment and diminishing markets. Certainly, the alternative of a weekly grant is a compromise that makes the worst of the available options. In the long run it will be expensive, it will be inadequate, and it will not meet the need of many handicapped people.56. It can be learned from the passage that the British Government has decided to _.A. compensate for deaths caused by the use of tricycles.B. stop the use of tricycles among the handicapped people.C. provide four wheeled cars for those handicapped people.D. give a weekly grant to the disabled people as a compromise.57. Which of the following is the main cause of tricycle accidents?A. Complicated controls.B. Failure to keep balance.C. The up-to-date models.D. Unexpected fuel failure.58. What would be the governments major concern about the modified four wheeled car?A. Inadequate market.B. Energy consumption.C. Limited budget.D. Employment problem.59. The author suggests that the mass production of the four wheeled car for the already handicapped people _ .A. is impractical because of the low number of drivers involved.B. is impractical because the handicapped people would not be able to afford it.C. is feasible because few modifications from the conventional cars are required.D. is feasible because the governments have to settle the problems of under employment.60. The purpose of this passage is to _ .A. explain the transportation situation of the handicapped people.B. persuade the government to provide modified cars rather than allowance.C. suggest a better model which would be both safe and economical.D. analyze the reason why a small number of drivers need the modified cars.Passage 2Two important meeting were held last summer to discuss Antarcticas resources. What is significant about these two meetings is that they involved participants from only twelve countries. Why is it that, while the deep sea and outer space are considered the trust of the international community, the southern continent and its surrounding waters and continental shelf, over which no one has clear jurisdiction, are held to be the responsibility of a privileged few?The question is of more than academic importance. In the first place the resources at stake are significant. There are indications that Antarcticas continental shelf may contain oil and gas and the waters of the Southern Ocean are inch in krill, a small crustacean, of which it is estimated that at least 50 million metric tons could be safely harvested annually. A number of nations are already fishing krill on an experimental basis, growing population and declining supplies of food will make it increasingly difficult for others to overlook what appears to be the worlds largest single source of animal protein.Unfortunately, the environmental hazards attached to the recovery of these resources may be serious. Exploitation of oil and gas would involve a number of specific dangers. A series of physical obstacles, for example, increase the likelihood of spills from tankers.Once a spill had occurred the ice would prevent it from spreading and dissipating, and limit the use of conventional anti pollution devices such as booms to contain it. Secondly, cold temperatures have a severe effect on the biological decomposition of oil, this slows markedly at lower temperature, with many components of the process stopping altogether in freezing water.The ice masses and atmospheric currents in the antipodes play an important role in the words weather and climate. It is postulated that ice cover on the ocean reduces heat exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. Seasonal and long term variations in the extent of sea ice are thought to have a marked influence on atmospheric circulation and a massive patch of polluted ice could prove to be significant to the process.Most direct and immediate yet than the danger to the environment is the threat to scientific research of resource exploitation the recovery of minerals in particular. Traditionally, Antarctica has been left to the scientists and there can be no doubt that Antarcticas contribution to science has been considerable. It is clear, too, that the restrictions on physical access which accompany exploitation will reduce the current freedom enjoyed by scientists.61.The meeting held last summer suggested that Antarctica is a “special case” in that _.A. the continent is remarkably rich in Various resourcesB. a number of countries have been exploiting the continentC. some countries wanted to claim responsibility for the continentD. the continent used to be the trust of the international community62. Krill is of importance to many countries because_.A. it is of great scientific value.B. it is a kind of resource at stakeC. it can be transformed into oil and gas.D. it can be a great supply of animal protein63. Which of the following makes “spills” particularly dangerous in Antarctica?A. Oil and gas easy to spread and dissipate.B. Lack of anti-pollution devices and expert.C. Freezing water slowing down the decomposition of oil.D. Reduced heat exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean.64. The passage suggests that the worlds climate is likely to be affected by the _ in Antarctica.A. polluted iceB. scientific researchC. fishing of krillD. recovery of minerals65. It can be inferred from the passage that companies exploiting Antarctic will_.A. constitute a threat to the word peaceB. diminish Antarcticas scientific valueC. contribute to the protection of AntarcticaD. welcome scientific research on their doorstepPassage 3Last month I stood with a hundred weepy, videotaping parents as we watched our children graduate.
