Well, my twin sister Jane and I do look alike, however, we are different in many ways. We like very different styles of clothing. I prefer to dress informally, whereas my twin sister dresses like a model, always wearing the latest fashions. We have very similar character in most ways. I do not get angry easily and enjoy being with friends, and in these respects, my twin sister feels the same. But she likes loud music and modern dances, while I find that nightclubs give me a headache. She is always with friends, is a favorite with all the teachers, and never wants to have any children, whereas I prefer to be alone at times, dont really try to impress my teachers and intend some day to have a family of my own. We have tried to live in the same room several times, and even agreed on the color we like best, and the kind of furniture we want, but I like to keep things neat and orderly, while my twin sister acts as if there were a servant around to pick up all the things that get thrown on the floor. I like to go to bed early and get up early. In contrast, she doesnt seem to have any definite habits, often goes to bed very late, and then sleeps late the next day. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What kind of clothes does the speaker like?27. What do the twin sisters have in common?28. Why isnt the speaker likely to live in the same room with her sister?Passage Two Until the twentieth century cigarettes were not an important threat to public health. Since the cigarette industry began in the 1870s, however, the cigarette-manufacturing machine has developed rapidly. This made it possible to produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly, and it reduced the price. Today cigarette smoking is a widespread habit. About forty-three percent of the men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to note, however, that millions of people have given up the smoking habit. Income, education and occupation all play a part in determining a persons smoking habits. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high income are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower income. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a high income smokes at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day. The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower education groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily. Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. What reduced the price of cigarettes?30. What is percentage of American adult women who smoke regularly?31. What plays a part in determining a persons smoking habit?32. Which of the following is true according to the passage?Passage Three Life on earth depends on the sun. Day after day we see its light and feel its warmth, but we do not often consider their origin. Yet there are many remarkable things about the sun. One is its distance from the earth. This is about 93 million miles. A journey of this distance, even if it could be made, would take several hundred years even in the fastest rocket. The sun makes us feel hot, even at a distance of 93 million miles. This is not surprising. The temperature on the sun is about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. But we receive only a small part of the heat. The total heat of the sun could melt a column of ice two and a quarter miles thick and 93 million miles high in a second. The brightness of the sun is equally astonishing. As we said earlier, we receive only a very small part of the suns heat. We also receive only a very small part of its light. This is sufficient for the growth of trees and plants, and for the existence of living creatures on earth. Too much heat and light would destroy the balance of life. The heat and light from the sun come in just the right quantities for life on earth. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. What remarkable things are mentioned in the passage?34. What is the temperature on the sun?35.
