Behavioural biologist Jane
Atkinson and her colleagues have been
studying the subtleties of how crows steal
food from one another. Atkinson had been
watching the birds at the beach as they fed
on fish, clams and other small animals in
the intertidal zone. She noticed that if a
crow had found a particularly large meal
that couldn't be eaten in a single gulp,
another crow would often come by and try to
steal the food away. Food theft is fairly
common in the bird world, so the crows'
thievery wasn't unexpected. What really
intrigued Atkinson was that the birds
employed two different tactics to take the
food. in some instances, the thieving bird
would take an aggressive approach -
typically involving some chasing or physical
contact, such as pecking in other exchanges,
however, the thief would use a more passive
method: merely approaching the other bird
secretively and steallng the food without
any commotion at all. What the team wanted
to know was: how did these tactics fit into
the group foraging practices of the crows?
76. According to the passage, the question
that interested the research team was .
A) whether the crows' srealing practices
were instinctive or acquired
B) wry the crcws chose to steal
C) related to the crows' foraging practices
D) whether the nature of the food affected
the degree of attempted theft
E) wheiher the stealing practices of crows
differed from those of other birds
77. it is clear from the
passage that the research team was not
surprised that the crows were trying to
steal from each other common
A) because this is a practice among birds
B) since there was a scarcity of food at the
time
C) though crows don't steal food as often as
other birds do
D) but it was surprised at their rate of
success
E) but the bitterness of the fight came as a
surprise
According to the passage, when one crow
plans to steal food from another one, _
A) this is really a means of establisning
its superionty
B) it will invariably try to do so in the
first place without being seen
C) there will inevitably be a fight between
the two
D) this is a sure sign that both crows are
really hungry
E) it will sometimes approach quite openly
and boldly
79-We understand from the
passage that so long as a crow _ .
A-can swallow its food at one gulp, it will
encounter no challenge
B-can find food easily, it will not steal
from another crow
C-can get food by stealing, it won't look
elsewhere for it
D-has eaten well, it is unlikily to try to
steal food
E) is able to steal food without fighring,
this is the method it will favour
80-it is ciear from the
passage that Jane Atkinson and her
colleagues
A-knew rnuch more about crows than accut any
other type of bird.
B- are speciallstc in bird behaviour
C-are only interested in the eating habits
or birds are parcculariy interested in the

in many ways, Hollywood seems
to exemplify the most joyless aspects of
capitalism. The "industry", as it insists
upon calling itself, packages artistic ideas
and images as commodities and then values
those commodities accordmg to how they
"penetrate" markets. The system's worrying
inefliciency, of course, is that studios
never know what the public at large will
want to buy. So films are tested in front of
preview audiences, revised according to the
audience's suggestions, tested again, and
then marketed with a vigour directly
proportionate to the test scores. There are
two problems with this approach. The first
is that the test-sample size is minimal but
can determine a film's fate. The second is
that by the time the test audience sees a
film it's too late to change it very much
anyway, particularly when twenty, fifty or a
hundred million dollars has already been
spent.
81. One point made in the
passage about test audiences is that they .
A) seldom have any real understanding of
artistic values
B) add to the expenses of film-making
C) rarely have any constructive criticism to
make
D) are ignorant of the Hoüywood techniques
of film making
E) are too small to be truly representative
of the general public
82. According to the passage,
film-makers find it difficult to .
A) carry out any market research to find out
about the wishes of film-goers
B) find volunteers for their preview
audiences
C) raise the money needed for film- making
D) guess what sort of films will be popular
and so profitable
E) revise scripts to meet the expectations
of their audiences
83-As we understand from the
passage, the writer _
A) is a great admirer of Hollywood's
film-making
B)seems reluctant to call tilm-making an
industry
C)is sympathetic towards the film-industry
and wants it to be more successful
D)attaches great importance to the
suggestions of preview audiences
E)thinks that the amount spent on a film is
usually in proportion to its success
84- it is clear from the
passage that Hollywood regards its films as
A) commodities to be selectively marketed to
suitable audiences
B) artistic creations designed for
sophisticated audiences
C) goods to be dynamically marketed
D) the most creative products of capitallsm
E) financial investments which are sure to
make a profit
85- We understand from the
passage that the making of a film .
A) is far more important than the marketing
of it
B) usually involves a very large financial
investment
C) is a strictly secret process until it
finally goes on show
D) usually follows the norms established by
Hollywood
E) is guided by a whole series o
representative previev audiences

Reading presents a real
paradox to neurobiologists. It was only
invented a few thousand years ago, so there
really has not been enough time for our
brain to evolve speciallzed ways to do it.
How do brain circuits produced by millions
of years of evolution in a world without
written words adapt to the specific
challenges of reading? We know we have to
learn the skill but how does our brain learn
to read? in the social sciences, the
majority of researchers do not see a
problem. There is a widespread view that the
brain is a completely adaptable organ,
capable of absorbing any form of culture.
Yet recent findings from brain imaging
studies and neurophysiology throw new light
on the organization of the reading circuits
in the brain. The findings contradict this
simplistic model of a brain that merely
absorbs everything from its cultural
environment. And they suggest that the
architecture of our brain is limited by
strong genetic constraints though it seerns
that it has still some degree of
flexibility.
86. The passage makes the
point that, until recently, .
A) it was only the abnormal brain that
attracted any attention
B) researchers in social sciences ignored
the views of neurophysiologists concerning
the brain
C) the brain was generally thought to adapt
itself easily to new cultural environments
D) the structure of the brain did not
attract much attention except from
neurobiologists
E) neurophysiologists were not aware of the
structural complexity of the brain
87. The writer is intrigued by the fact that
the brain, which evolved long before the
written word came into use,
A) had already had the genetic capacity to
form words
B- had been able to communicate through
images
C) had already developed certain reading
circuits
D) managed to adapt itself to the very
distinct skill of reading
E) had already achieved full flexibility to
adapt itself to new forms of culture
88. A recent view
neurophysiologists, the brain, is that _ .
A) it is extremely flexible as it is not
affected by genetic heritage
B) its structure is largely shaped by
genetic traits
C) it has developed various speciallzed
skills over the last thousand years or so
D) its circuits have remained constant for
millions of years
E) its creative powers are more apparent in
some fields of learning
89-According to the passage,
although people have had the skiil of
reading for several thousand years, _
A) the actual process of learning how to
read has only just been discovered by
neurophysiologists
B) there has been no improvement in the
speed at when people can read
C) the brain remains inflexible and cannot
cope with different cultures
D) from the angle of evolution, this has
been insufficient for the brain to develop
particularized reading skills
E) it is only in the social sciences that
this skill has been seriously studied
90. The purpose of the
passage is to
A) explain how the brain has evolved towards
creativity over thousands of years
B) raise questions about, rather than
explain, the reading abilities of the brain
C) highlight recent developments and
controversies in the field of
neurophysiology
D) emphasize the adverse effects of
different cultural environments on the human
brain way from
E) draw attention to the neurobiology

Throughout history,
eyewitnesses have reported orange glows,
fireballs or flashes in the days before and
during an earthquake. it was in 1968,
however, that the first photographs of
"earthquake lights" were taken during a
series of earthquakes in Japan. Some showed
red streaks across the sky. Others looked
like a low blue dawn from a distance. in
1999, floating bails of light in the sky
were broadcast on Turkish television,
reportedly filmed the night before the
devastating earthquake of 7.4 on the Richter
scale that killed many thousand people in
the Marmara region of Turkey. Mysterious or
not, repeated sightings of earthquake lights
confirm their existence. it has to be said
that earthquake lights are a fairly
well-known phenomenon, but we don't know
what they mean, or what causes them.
Seismologists have struggled far years to
find a reliable earthquake predictor. Could
the lights hold the key?
91. in the passage, the
writer wonders whether .
A) earthquaks lights might help in the
prediction of earthquakes
B) the orange glows supposedly sighted
before an earthquake were actually seen
C) the photographs taken of earthquake
lights in Japan are of any scientific use
D) earthquakes cause the lights, or whether
the lights cause the earthquakes
E) the devastation caused by the Marmara
earthquake could have been prevented
92. The passage emphasizes
the fact that the Marmara earthquake
A) was televised as it was happening
B) was followed by strange lights in the sky
C) was indeed a catastrophic one
D) greatly puzzled seismologists
E) took everyone, seismologists included, by
surprise
93. We understand from the
passage that the sighting of earthquake
lights
A) has led to a great deal of confused and
contradictory reporting amcng seismologists
B) first occurred in Japan
C) is a fairly recent phenomenon in Japan
D) has attracted virtually no scientific
attention from seismologis's
E) goes back a very long way in time
94-It is pointed out in the
passage that the photographic recording of
earthquake lights .
A) was made tor the first time less than
half a century ago
B) was only done with great succsss during
the Marmara earthquake
C) is what finally convinced people of their
existence
D) is widely regarded as a visual deception
E-has always been a major concern for
seismolcists
95-The writer of the passage
seems to be confident that .
A) seismology is advancing rapidly through
the stucd of eartquakes lights
B)future eartquakeswill be reliably
predicted by means of eartquake lights
C)eartquake lights have frequently been
observed and even filmed
D) the mystery of earthquake lignts can
never be resolved

Much has been said and
written about the declining numbers of and
disappointing lack of diversity among
American college students majoring in
engineering. Among the factors cited to
explain this phenomenon are the lack of
exposure of high school students to the very
idea of engineering and the fact that many
have insufficient mathematics and science
background to gain entrance to engineering
school, even if they do identify the
profession as a possible career. This is
unfortunate, for the ideas of engineering
should be integrated into the curricula not
only of high schools but also of middle and
primary schools. Our children are being done
a disservice by not being exposed properly
throughout their education to engineering
activities identifted as such. Arter all,
even pre-school children have the
prerequisites in their play for appreciating
exactly what engineering is: design. Indeed,
design is everywhere around them throughout
their school day, even in their
before-school and after-school activities.
it need only be pointed out to them that
they are designing something, and therefore
being engirteers of sorts, in virtually
everything that they do.
96. The writer of the passage
feels strongiy that ..............
A) children should be involved in
engineering activities at an early age
B) many children are being unfairly directed
into a career in engineering
C) the mathematics anc science courses in
schools need to be modernized
D) university engineering courses ought to
be upgraded
E) the educarion of pre-schcol children is
being given too much importance
97. The writer points out
chat children can, at a very early
age......................
A) be encouraged to take part in
after-school activities
B)devolop an interest in scientific matters
C)make up their minds to study engineering
at university
D)learn something about the basis of
engineering, which is design
E)be influenced by their school environment
98-The writer recognizes the
fact that engeenering....................
A)is becoming less and less popular as a
field of study among university students
B) is only suitable for highly intelligent
students
C)is a complicated subject only suitable for
really mature students
D) has become one of the most popular fields
of study at American universities
E)requires many years of treaning prior to
qualification
99-Among the reasons given in
the passage for the decline in the numbers
of engeenering students is that............
A)the American schools still follow
out-dated curricula
B) university entrance requirements are far
too demanding
C) it is generally recognized as one of the
most diffucult of all the courses
D) engeenering in the US is not considered
to be a competitive field of study
E)many of them fail to acquire an adequate
knowledge of mathematics and science at high
schools
100-According to the passage,
all school programmes--------.
A)should be designed to make students aware
of the engineering practices and principles
B)ought to give priority to the sciences
C)must encourage children to make creative
designs
D)seem to put the emphasis on the need to
diversify learning
E)overlook the fact that all children are
