Primitive man 16 that he could make foods last by drying them. The Indians, for example, 17 buffalo and deer meat in the sun. The _18_single advance began in l800 when a Frenchman, Nicolas Appert, 19 that he could preserve certain foods by sealing them in jars and keeping the air from them. The process was the 20 of the vast canning industry which brings us many foods 21 all seasons. Pasteurizing is another process which delays spoilage. It is of _22_ importance to the dairy industry. Foods 1ike apricots, prunes, apples, peaches, and pineapples are 23 preserved by drying. The use of chemicals is another method and 24 foods are cooked with sugar. But recently the use of frozen foods has grown quickly. 25 ,today, more foods than ever before are being processed by freezing.( )16. A. learned B. thought C. believed D. convinced( )17.

You ve read newspapers and come away with the black ink 30 your hands, and then probably gotten it on your clothes or on the woodwork at home, right? That may 31 soon, with the use of a different type of ink. Several major 32 newspapers are now trying out a new printing process called flexography.

Unfortunately, only very few can hope to become famous and prosperous. Talent is not enough, because show business is as competitive as any other business. Without a good manager, a performer can never hope to suceed. Fashion is important in this bussiness, too. The best tailor in the world will never be a success if he makes old-fashioned clothes. In exactly the same way, a Performer must change his act in order to follow the taste of the moment. This is true for actors, dancers and comedians, but perhaps most of all for singers.Pop stands for popular, and a pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. He must either give the public what they already want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded, and his records are sold every where, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.The life of a successful pop singer is not at all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, because everything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the fans. The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concert, and they make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying, too. Sometimes their enthusiasm gets so hysterical that they do anything to get a souvenir. They steal handkerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singers hair. Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who have not been so lucky as to escape have been stripped practically naked by their fans. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or, at any rate, different. He must have a luxurious car. Andmost importanthe must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public.( )36. A suitable title for this passage might be_.A. The Entertainment ProfessionB. The Way to Become a Pop SingerC. The Life of a Pop SingerD. The Pop Singer( )37. Why must a pop singer have a good manager?A. To protect him from his fans.B. To look after his business interests.C. To help him to change his act.D. So that he can relax.( )38. It may be inferred from this passage that_.A. a pop singer is somewhat afraid of meeting his fansB. some people become pop singer by chanceC. a pop singer sometimes is reluctant to meet peopleD. not a few people may become pop singers(B )Before human disease can be discussed, the meanings of the terms, health, physical fitness, illness, and disease, must be considered. Health could be defined theoretically in terms of certain measured values; for example, a person having normal body temperature, pulse and breathing rates, blood pressure, height, weight, acuity of vision, sensitivity of hearing, and other normal measurable characteristics might be termed healthy. But what does normal mean and how is it established? It is well-known that if the temperatures arc taken of a large number of active, presumably healthy, individuals the temperatures will all come close to 98. 6 F (37t ). The great preponderance of these values will fall between 98. 4F and 98. 8 T. Thus health could in part be defined as having a temperature within this narrow range. Similarly, a normal range can he established for pulse, blood pressure, and height. In some healthy individuals, however, the body temperature may range below 98. 4F or above 98. 8 T. These low and high temperatures fall outside the limits defined above as normal and are instances of biological variability.Biological criteria of normality are based on statistical concepts. Body height may be used as an example. If the heights of every individual in a large sample were plotted on a graph, the many points would fall on a bell-shaped curve. At one end of the curve would be the very short people and at the other extreme the few very tall people. The majority of the points of the sample population would fall on the dome of the bell-shaped curve. At the peak of the dome would be those individuals whose height approaches the average of all the heights. Scientists use curves determining what they call normal criteria. By accepted statistical criteria,95 percent of the population measured would be included in the normal range, that is,47. 5 percent above and 47. 5 percent below the mean at the very centre of the bell. Looked at in another way, in any given normal biologic distribution 5 percent will be considered outside the normal range. Thus the seven-foot basketball player would be considered abnormally tall, but that which is abnormal must be distinguished from that which represents disease. The basketball player might be abnormally tall but still have excellent health. Thus, in any statistical analysis of health the possibility of biological variation must be recognized.( )39. What measurable characteristics are discussed in the passage?A. Body temperature and height.B. Pulse and breathing rates.C. Blood presure and weight.D. Vision and hearing.( )40. The temperatures of lots of healthy people will be about_.A. 98.2F B. 98.4F C. 98. 6F D. 98. 8F( )41. The peak of a hell-shaped curve stands for_.A. the shortest heights B. the tallest heightsC. the most heights D. the average heights( )42. Based on the accepted statistical criteria, _ of the sample population would be within the normal range.A. 95% B. 50% C. 47.5% D. 5%(C)The face of Singapore is changing every day. New flats shooting up all over the island. They come in all sizes and rental and sales prices to suit the families of workers, middle-income employees as well as top executives, and businessmen. They are well designed for living, solidly constructed, and carefully maintained. By l975, half the Republics population were living sparkling modern accommodation. By the end of the decade, 80 per cent of the islands people will be enjoying high-rise living in model towns with all sorts of facilities provided.This is the progressive achievement of the Singapore Housing and Development Board. Singaporeans today are among the world, s best-housed people. The Boards success is a model for planners in other developing nations. Roads, usually double-carriage expressways, keep pace with the expanding developments in outlying districts to bring the worker close to his job. Trees, bushes and flowering plants from public nurseries line the roads as they are built and also landscape the housing estates and park grounds. It is truly amazing to find so much tropical greenery in so modern a city.Land in Singapore, as in Hong Kong, is limited. In order to fulfil its development plans for its people, the Government reclaims land from the sea. New projects for housing, port, transportation, business and recreational purposes are being created.In the heart of the city itself the Governments urban renewal policy goes on every day. Slums are cleared and redeveloped into a series of busy sub-cities. In place of narrow streets and old, crumbling, ugly buildings one sees broad thoroughfares, modern shopping and entertainment complexes, hotels, office blocks and residential towers rising 40 and 50 storeys into the sky.It is a question of time before Singapore becomes a total island city and probably the finest in Southeast Asia.( )43. Housing estates and park grounds give a green look becauseA. the buildings are painted greenB. the building are new and modernC. they are in the middle of forestsD. trees, bushes and flowering plants are grown as part of the landscape( )44. As land is limited, new projects for development are createdA. in the sea B. over the seaC. under the sea D. on land reclaimed from the sea( )45. In the heart of the city itself_.A. many slums are createdB. many old buildings are preservedC. many slums are cleared for roadsD. many slums are cleared for development( )46. The main feature of the new sub-cities are_.A. narrow streets and old, crumbling buildingsB. broad thoroughfares and ugly buildingsC. narrow streets and modern buildingsD. broad thoroughfares and tall mordern building(D)One of the most exciting questions to which scientists are seeking an answer is, Are there living things anywhere in the Universe? Is the earth the only body in the whole enormous Universe where human beings or anything like human beings exist?First we must consider what goes to make a human being whether plant or animal, and then what conditions living things need in order to go on living. Living things, like everything else, are made of atoms l and these atoms are grouped into molecules. A molecule is the very smallest bit you can have of any substance. When you break up a molecule of water, for example, you no longer have water at all, but only the atoms of which water is madeone atom of oxygen and two of hydrogen. The molecules of living things are made l not of two or three atoms, but of hundreds or thousands arranged in different, complicated patterns.If they become too hot, these complicated molecules of living things break up into their separate atoms and cease to be living. Therefore, there cannot be life on the sun or any of the stars because they are far too hot, and there cannot be any life on a planet(which goes around the sun) if it is too close to the sun, as Mercury is.However, living things need energy to make them breathe, grow and move. Non-living things, like rocks and metals, do not need this. On Earth plants and animals get their energy from the light and heat of the sun. Therefore Planets that are very far from the sun and extremely cold are not places where living things could exist.( )47. Which of the following is true?_.A. A molecule consists of a number of atomsB. An atom consists of a number of molecule8C. Water is made up of two different moleculesD. Water is made up of a complicated pattern of atoms( )48. Which of these is not true? The sun_.A. sometimes makes life possible B. gives energy to living thingsC. helps plants to grow D. makes rocks and metals( )49. All planets_.A. have atomospheres suitable for lifeB. have very little atomosphereC. go round the earthD. go round the sun or other stars( )50. The writer thinks that there may be living creatures on_.A. some of the planets going round our sun B. other sunsC. other starsD. p1anets going round other stars(E)Directions: Match the articles with the main ideas/ topics. Write the correct letter in the brackets below each article.A. A brief introduction of English poetry.B. Other English dramatists.C. Fictions in English literature.D. The property of English literature.E. The most outstanding English play writer.F. A poem written by Wordsworth.( )51. The great wealth of English literature makes it impossible to deal with the subject in any detail within the scope of one short passage. We must therefore confine ourselves to only a few of the outstanding writers.( ) 52. W-ho has not heard, for instance, of William Shakespeare, one of the greatest dramatists of all time. He is famous for his comedies, such as Twelfth Night, As You Like It and The Taming of the Shrew, and equally famous for his magnificent tragedies, such as Macbeth, Hamlet and Othello. Shakespeare lived in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, which was the great age for English literature.( )53. Of later p1ays, there is She stoops to Conquer by Olive Goldsmith, and The School for Scandal by Richard Sheridan. Then coming to the present day, we have the brilliant dramas of the Irish author Bernard shaw. Possibly his hest-known plays are Caesar and Cleopatra, Man and superman, Back to Methuselah and Saint Joan.( )54. The works of English novelists have been translated into so many languages that millions of people who know no English are nevertheless familiar with English writings. Yet it is only those who are able to read these novels in the original that can really appreciate such masterpieces as Waverley and Lyanhoe by Walter Scott, or Oliver Twist, David Copperfield and The Old Curiosity Shop by Chares Dickens.( )55.
