men burst through the door While one of the intruders pointed a gun at the group the other two scooped up 4 400 worth of laptops cell phones video games and cash Once they had what they wanted the trio fled into the night Furious the students chased down and tackled one of the burglars the one with the gun In the struggle it went off and a bullet grazed a student s leg His friends piled on the gunman and held him until police showed up By the next day the injured young man was back in his apartment and the suspect was in jail charged with burglary felonious assault and receiving stolen property But how did the men manage to storm into an on campus residence that November night in the first place Simple Students told police the building s main doors hadn t latched properly for days As parents confront ballooning college costs and shrinking acceptance rates they are finding themselves with an even bigger more basic problem Which campuses are safe Colleges seem like idyllic and secure places and for the most part they are But ivy covered walls can t keep out every bad element This country s 6 000 colleges and universities report some 40 000 burglaries 3 700 forcible sex offenses 7 000 aggravated assaults and 48 murders a year Other hazards fires binge drinking mental health problems are also on the rise Of course that s not what parents and students see on America s serene campuses There s a false sense of security says Harry Nolan a safety consultant in New York City Students see guards patrolling at night or a video camera monitoring the dorm entrance and think

of water which separates England and France Ferries operate all year round to carry people across the Channel and they are busy most of the year January is the only quiet month nowadays As well as summer holiday makers there are day trippers and coach traffic not to mention lorries and other commercial vehicles Some ferries carry cars and their passengers while others also connect train passengers with the Continental rail network The biggest hazard for the ferry is the wind The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day Or they sometimes get gale warnings from local radio station Crossing the Channel by ferry is a bit like trying to cross Oxford Street on a busy afternoon according to one ferryboat captain The ferries from Folkstone and Dover to Calais and Boulogne have to cross the main flow of traffic This consists of ships traveling through the Channel to and from Northern Europe There may be four hundred ships making the journey at any one time and they all pass through a choke point which is only fifteen miles twenty five kilometers wide The cross channel ferries have to sail right through the middle of all this traffic 68 The passage is mainly concerned with A the English ChannelB the weather on the Channel C cross channel ferriesD what crossing the Channel by ferry is like 69 The word hazard is closest in meaning to A troubleB dangerC enemyD problem 70 We can infer from the passage that A if there is a gale warning from the BBC the ferries will stop operating B the traffic on the Channel is very busy only in winter C ferries are busiest in the afternoon D the crew of the ferry listens to the weather reports four times a day 71 Where does this passage most probably appear A In a dictionary B In a novel C In a transportation magazine D In a geography textbook C A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane Jet lag interferes with a person s normal times for sleeping and waking People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days They also may have problems thinking clearly and remembering Kwangwook Cho is a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain He reported the findings of his jet lag study in the publication Nature Neuroscience The study involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines The women had served passengers on airplanes for five years These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones In the study the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas Mister Cho took some fluid from the women s mouths to measure levels of a hormone that increases during stress He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen And he took pictures of their brains using magnetic resonance imaging This is a way to measure the size of the brain s temporal lobes 颞叶 It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones Mister Cho says he believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory 72 According to the text jet lag A can cause difficulties in speaking B can make people feel tired for a few weeks C is the illness only found in people who work on the airplanes D can be caused by flying over several time zones in an airplane 73 It is inferred that more tests need to be done because A the conclusion was questioned by many scientists B scientists fear that his research is not done properly

Women who have a longer rest at home show better memory B Women who fly in short time had smaller right temporal lobes C Women who have longer flights failed the memory test D Women who rest more than 14 days produced less hormones A Reading news articles in English B The Internet provides access to many materials written in English C You may have some ways to practice reading English D Purchasing books on topics of interest E Reading classical books online F Browsing through Internet newsletters 75 What is the subject discussed in the test A The cause of jet lag B A story of a group of flight attendance C A research about the effects of jet lag on the brain D The importance of having enough rest after long flights Section C Directions Read the following text and choose the most suitable
