17.Consider more modern history. The most important housing act in the last fifty years was not the law that provided for public housing; it was the law that permitted the FHA(Federal Housing Act) to grant subsidized low-interest mortgages to Americans who want to purchase homes. More than anything else, this has made the suburban dream a reality. It has brought the vision of grass and trees and a place for the kids to play within the reach of millions of working Americans. But th impact of such legislation on the cities was not even considered-nor was the concept of making subsidized money available for neighborhood renovation in the city so that it might compete with the suburbs. Instead, in little more than a decade 800,000 middle income New Yorkers fled the city for the suburbs and were replaced by largely unskilled workers who in many cases represented an economic burden rather than an economic asset.

to support a substantial U.S. military presence in the Pacific or help change anti

-Japanese trade attitudes in Congress unless Japan opened its cigarette market.

Three months later the Japanese government agreed to open its markets more.

The results have been devastating. Before the U.S.tobacco companies arrived,

smoking rates were declining slightly in Japan, but in the past 5 years,

cigarette consumption by minors has increased 16 percent. Among Taiwanese

high school students, the smoking rate has climbed 14 percent. The number of

Thai smokers aged 15 to 19 has increased 24 percent, with similar increases for

Korean high school boys.

20.Students act out in nine weeks what normally takes real couples ten years to accomplish. In the first week, one member of each couple is required to get an after-school job - a real one. During the semester, the salary, computed on a full-time basis with yearly increases factored in, serves as the guideline for their life-style. In the third week, the couples must locate an apartment they can afford and study the terms of the lease. In the fifth week, the couples "have a baby" and then compute the cost by totaling hospital and doctor bills, prenatal and postnatal care, baby clothes and furniture. In the eighth week, disaster strikes; the marriages are strained to breaking point by such calamities as a mother-in-law's moving in, death, or imprisonment. It's all over by week nine. After talks by marriage consultations with counselors and divorce lawyers, and computations of alimony and child support, the students get divorced.

Q. What may be the purpose of this course described in this passage?

(a)To make students aware of psychological problems of married life

(b)To make students decide not to marry at all

21.It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies is the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion., but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife's right to receive a tenth of all her husband's property. The wife had the right to withhold consent in all transactions made by her husband. And it was more than just a right: documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no respect do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.

Q. Wives had the same legal status as their husbands as a result of _______________.

(a)their written documents

22.The great advance in rocket theory 60 years age showed that liquid-fuel rockets were far superior in every respect to the skyrocket with its weak solid fuel, the only kind of rocket then known. However, in the 1960's, large solid-fuel rockets using solid fuels about as powerful as liquid fuels began to make their appearance, and it became a favorite lay person's question to inquire which one is "better." The question is meaningless, however, for one might as well ask whether a gasoline or diesel engine is "better." It all depends on the purpose. A liquid-fuel rocket is complicated, but has the advantage of being easy to manage. The burning of the rocket engine can be stopped completely, and it can be reignited when desired. A solid-fuel cocket, on the other hand, is rather simple in construction, though it is rather hard to build on a larger scale. But once you have a solid-fuel rocket, it is ready for action at very short notice.

Q. What can be inferred from this passage?

(a)A liquid-fuel rocket cannot be held in readiness just after it has been fueled.

(b)A liquid-fuel rocket has the same power as that of a solid-fuel rocket.

(c)A liquid-fuel rocket can be controlled easily.

(d)A liquid-fuel rocket costs as much as a liquid-fuel rocket.

23.The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea - the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward the shore.

Q. Which of the worst thing about hurricanes?

(a) The energy in the hear released by rainfall

(b) The strong winds

(c) The powerful effect of sea

(d) The relentless rainfall

24.More than half a million students take an  introductory calculus course in any given year, and the number is growing. A large proportion have no choice. Calculus is a barrier that must be overcome on the way to a professional career in medicine or engineering. But for many people who in the last few years have passed through such a course, the word "calculus" brings back painful memories. In many universities about half of the students who take introductory calculus fail the course. A surprisingly large number must take the course several times to get through. At the same time, engineering and physical sciences professors complain that even the students who pass do not know very much about calculus and do not know how to use it. "The teaching of calculus is a national disgrace," says Lynn A. Steen, president of the Mathematical Association of America. "Too often calculus is taught by inexperienced instructors to ill-prepared students in an environment with insufficient feedback," she says.

Q. What does this passage describe?

(a)The present state of calculus instruction

(b)The ways of revitalizing calculus teaching

(c)The importance of calculus in the college curriculum

(d)The futility of calculus teaching in college

25.A new projection by the United Nations shows that, if the present growth rate of 2 percent per year continues, today's world population of 3.9 billion will hit 6.4 billion by the year 20000. What's more, the great bulk of the growth - 9 of every 10 people added to the earth's population - will be in the poorer, undeveloped countries. By the year 20000, today's "have not" nations will have a combined population of 5 billion people, comprising nearly four fifths of the world's population. Food isn't the only problem that such a population explosion presents. The more people there are and the more crowded their living conditions, authorities warn, the greater grows the likelihood of violence and upheaval.

Q. Which of the following is true according to this passage?

(a)Population is no longer increasing in developed countries.

(b)The percentage of the world population living in developing countries is increasing.

(c)The world population will stop growing after 2000.

(d)Developing countries do not have food problems now, but they will in the future.

26.Practically every philosopher since Plato has written on how humor and laughter are related, but Sigmund Freud was the first to evolve a conclusive theory. Freud recognized that we all repress certain basic but socially "unacceptable" drives, such as sex and aggression. Jokes, not accidentally, are often based on either sex or aggression, or both. We find these jokes funny because they provide a sudden release of our normally suppressed drives. We are free to enjoy the forbidden, and the energy we normally use to inhibit these drives is discharged in laughter. Another reason laughter is pleasurable is because of the physical sensations involved. Laughter is a series or minor facial and respiratory convulsions that stimulate our respiratory and circulatory systems. It activates the secretion of adrenalin and increases the blood flow to hte head and brain. The total effect is one of euphoria.

Q. What is the best title for this passage?

(a)Laughter as an Expression of Relief

(b)Laughter as a Social Response

(c)The Relationship between Jokes and Laughter

(d)Why Laughter Gives Pleasure

27.Many processes within our bodies are timed to a cycle of about twenty-four hours. If the body temperature is taken every hour or so throughout the day or night, each person is found to have a certain pattern. The temperature rises and falls about two degrees every twenty-four hours. Some people's temperatures rise very rapidly after awakening and then begin to fall in the afternoon and evening. For others, their temperatures rise very slowly at first, reach a peak in the late afternoon or evening, and do not begin to drop until quite late in the day. In all cases, a person's temperature is at its lowest during the time of sleep. People tend to feel most wide-awake and can work best at the high point of their temperature. You may have noticed that some people jump out of bed early and  are cheerful and active during the early part of the day, then grow tired in the evening and go to bed quite early. Others find it difficult to get up in the morning and do not seem able to get along very well until afternoon; during the evening, they are wide-awake and hate to go to bed.

Q. According to this passage, when can people get more work done?

(a)In the early morning

(b)In the evening

(c)When their temperature is highest

(d)When their temperature is lowest
