For many years, the Empire State Building in New York City was the tallest building in the world. It was 1, 250 feet high when it was opened in 1931. Then in 1951 a TV transmission tower was added for radio and television broadcasts. This tower added 222 feet to its height. Soon other skyscrapers were built. The World Trade Center in New York, is 1350 feet high, and Chicagos Sears Tower, is 1450 feet high. No one can say how much higher skyscrapers will go in the future. Early skyscrapers were built with thick heavy walls of solid brick, stone, or concrete. Now the new skyscrapers are built with a steel framework that supports the weight of the building. The solid walls are no longer needed, and the framework makes it possible to build to greater heights. Built at first mainly for offices and shops, some skyscrapers are now becoming homes for people who want to live in the center of the city. The 100-story John Hancock Center, a Chicago skyscraper that opened in 1970, is an example. Between the first and 43rd floor, there are offices and shops. There is a swimming pool on the 44th floor. From the 45th floor to the 92nd there are apartments. The people who live in these apartments can look down on the clouds instead of up at them. 83. What happened to the Empire State Building in 1951?A) A tower was added to it, which increased its height. B) It was no longer the tallest building in the world. C) It was transformed into a radio and television broadcasting station. D) It provided homes for people who wanted to live in the city center. 84. The Empire State Building is as tall as _ feet. A) 1380 B) 1250 C) 1472 D) 22285. We cannot know how much taller skyscrapers will become in the future because _. A) the steel framework makes it possible to build to greater heightsB) solid walls of brick, stone or concrete are no longer neededC) a TV transmission tower can be addedD) some skyscrapers are now becoming homes86. Originally, skyscrapers were built as _. A) business centers and officesB) radio and-television broadcasting stationsC) apartment complexesD) apartments and shops87. How do people benefit from living in the John Hancock Center?A) They can enjoy looking at the clouds above the building. B) They have all the city center facilities nearby. C) They can use the swimming pool on the top of the building. D) They can work at offices inside the building. Questions 88 to 92 are based on the following passage;There are two kinds of memory; short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be recalled at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. In contrast, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied. Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students. To begin with, the subjects listened to recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 17-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Met
