Broad-tailed hummingbirds often nest in quaking, slender deciduous trees with
smooth, gray-green bark found in the Colorado Rockies of the western United States After
flying some 2,000 kilometers north from where they have wintered in Mexico, the
hummingbirds need six weeks to build a nest, incubate their eggs, and raise the chicks. A


second nest is feasible only if the first fails early in the season. Quality, not quantity, is what
counts in hummingbird reproduction
A nest on the lowest in tact branch of an aspen will give a hummingbird a good view, a
clear flight patch, and protection for her young. Male hummingbirds claim feeding territories
in open meadows where, from late May through June, they mate with females coming to
feed but take no part in nesting. Thus when the hen is away to feed, the nest is unguarded.
While the smooth bark of the aspen trunk generally offers a poor grip for the claws of a
hungry squirrel or weasel, aerial attacks, from a hawk, owl, or gray jay, are more likely
The choice of where to build the nest is based not only on the branch itself but also on
what hangs over it. A crooked deformity in the nest branch, a second, unusually close
branch overhead, or proximity to part of a trunk bowed by a past ice storm are features that
provide shelter and make for an attractive nest site. Scarcely larger than a halved golf ball,
the nest is painstaking constructed of spider webs and plant down, decorated and
camouflaged outside with paper-like bits of aspen bark held together with more strands of
spider silk. By early June it will hold toe pea-sized eggs, which each weigh one-seventh of
the mother’s weight, and in sixteen to nineteen days, two chicks .
46. What aspect of broad-tailed hummingbird behavior dose the passage mainly discuss ?
A. Migration routes
B. Mating habits
C. Caring for the young
D. Selection of

nest sites
47. According to the passage, in what circumstances do hummingbirds build a second
nest?
A. If the winter is unusually warn.
B. If the chicks in the first nest hatch
early

season

hummingbird?
A. It finds food for the female and the chicks
B. It protects the nest while the female searches for food
C. It is not involved in caring for the chicks
D. It shares nesting duties equally with the female
50. It can be inferred from the passage that the broad-tailed hummingbirds eggs and
chicks are

The word laser was coined as an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated
Emission of Radiation. Ordinary light, from the Sun or a light bulb, is emitted spontaneously,
when atoms or molecules get rid of excess energy by themselves, with out any outside
intervention. Stimulated emission is different because it occurs when an atom or molecule

holding onto excess energy has been stimulates to emit it as light
Albert Einstein was the first to suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper
published in 1917. However, for many years physicists thought that atoms and molecules
always were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulates emission thus
always would be much weaker. It was not until after the Second World War that physicists


began trying to make stimulated emission dominate. They sought ways by which one stomp
or molecule could stimulate many others to emit light, amplifying it to much higher powers.
The first to succeed was Charles H. Townes, then at Columbia University in New York.
Instead of working with light, however, he worked with microwaves, which have a much
longer wavelength, and built a device ha called a “maser,” for Microwave Amplification by
the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Although he thought of the key idea in 1951, the fiat
maser was not complete until a couple of years later. Before long, many other physicists
were building masers and trying to discover how to produce stimulated emission at even
shorted wavelengths.
The key concepts emerged about 1957. Townes and Arthur Schawlow, then at Bell
Telephone Laboratories, wrote a long paper outlining the conditions needed to amplify
stimulated emission of visible light waves. At about the same time, similar ideas crystallized
in the mind if Gordon Gould, then a 37-years-old graduate student at Columbia, who wrote
them down in a series of notebook. Townes and Schawlow published their ideas in a
scientific journal, Physical Review Letters, but Gould files a patent application. Three
decades later, people still argue about who deserved the credit for the concept of the laser.
56. The word “coined” in line I could best be replaced by _________
A. created
B. mentioned
C. understood
D. discovered
57.
The word “intervention” in the first paragraph can best be replaced by _________

A. need
B. device

A. light bulb
B. energy
C. molecule

59. Which of the following statements best describes a laser?
A. A device for stimulating atoms and molecules to emit light.
B. An atom in a high-energy state
C. A technique for destroying atoms or molecules
D. An instrument for measuring light waves
60. Why was Townes’ early work with stimulated emission done with microwaves?
A. He was not conversed with light amplification
B. It was easier to work with longer wavelengths
C. His parents Schawlow had already begun work on the laser
D. The laser had already been developed

There are two basic tubes of glaciers, those that flow outward in all directions with
little regard for any underlying terrain and those that are confirmed by terrain to a particular
path
The first category of glaciers includes those massive blankets that cover whole
continents, appropriately called ice sheets. There must be over 50,000 square kilometers of
land covered with ice for the glacier to qualify as an ice sheet. When portions of an ice sheet
spread out over the ocean, they form ice shelves.
About 20,000 years ago the Cordilleran Ice Sheet covered nearly all the mountains in
southern Alaska, western Canada, and the western United States. It was about 3 kilometers
deep in its thickest point in northern Alberta. Now there are only two sheets left on Earth,
those covering Greenland and Antarctica.
Any domelike body of ice that also flows out in all directions but covers less than
50,000 square kilometers is called an ice cap. Although ice caps are rare nowadays, there
are a number in northeastern Canada, on Baffin Island, and on the Queen Elizabeth Islands.
The second category of glaciers includes those of a variety of shapes and sizes
generally called mountain or alone glaciers. Mountain glaciers are typically identified by the
landform that controls their flow. One form of mountain glacier that resembles an ice cap in
that in flows outward in several directions is called an ice field. The difference between an
ice field and an ice cap is subtle. Essentially, the flow of an ice field is somewhat controlled
by surrounding terrain and thus does not have the domelike shape of a cap. There are

several ice fields in the Wrangel, St. Elias, and Chugach mountains of Alaska and northern
British Columbia
Less spectacular than large ice fields are the most common types of mountain
glaciers: the cirque and valley glaciers. Cirque glaciers are found in depressions in the
surface of the land and have a characteristic circular shape. The ice of valley glaciers, bound
by terrain, flows down valleys, curves around their corners, and falls over cliffs
46. What dose the passage mainly discuss?
A. Where major glaciers are located
B. How glaciers shape the land
C. How glaciers are formed
D. The different kinds of glaciers
47. The word “massive” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _________ .
A. huge
B. strange
C. cold
D. recent
48. It can be inferred that ice sheets are so named for which of the following reason?
A. They are confined to mountain valleys
B. They cover large areas of land
C. They are thicker in some areas than in others
D. They have a
characteristic circular shape
49. According to the passage, ice shelves can be found _________
A. covering an entire continent
B. buried within the mountains
C. spreading into the ocean
D. filling deep valleys
50. According to the passage, where was the Cordillera Ice Sheet thickest?
A. Alaska
B. Greenland

C. Alberta
D. Antarctica
51. The word “rare” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to _________
A. small
B. unusual
C. valuable
D. widespread
52. According to the passage, ice fields resemble ice caps in which of the following ways?
A. Their shape
B. Their flow
C. Their texture
D. Their location
53. The word “subtle” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to _________
A. slight
B. common
C. important
D. measurable
54. All of the following are alpine glaciers EXCEPT _________.
A. cirque glaciers
B. ice caps
C. valley glaciers
D. ice fields
55. Which of the following types of glaciers dose the author use to illustrate the two basic
types of glaciers mentioned in line 1?
A. Ice fields and cirques
B. Cirques and
alpine glaciers
C. Ice sheets and ice shelves
D. Ice sheets and mountain glaciers.

The first two decades of the 20 th century were dominated by the microbe hunters.
These hunters had tracked down one after another of the microbes responsible for the most
dreaded scourges of many centuries: tuberculosis, cholera, diphtheria. But there remained
some terrible diseases for which no microbe could be incriminated: scurvy, pellagra,
rickets, beriberi. Then it was discovered that these disease were caused by the lack of
vitamin, at race substance in the diet. The disease could be prevented or cured by
consuming foods that contained the vitamins. And so in the decades of the 1920’s and
1930’s, nutrition became a science and the vitamin hunters replaced the microbe hunters.
In the 1940’s and 1950’s, biochemists strived to learn why each of the vitamins was
essential for health. They discovered that cue enzymes in metabolism depend on one or
another of the vitamins as coenzymes to perform the chemistry that provides cells with
energy for growth and function. Now, these enzymes hunters occupied center stage.
You are aware that the enzyme hunters have been replaced by a new breed of hunters
who are tracking genes – the blueprints for each of the enzymes – and are discovering the
defective genes that cause inherited disease – diabetes, cystic fibrosis. These gene hunters,
or genetic engineers, use recombinant DNA technology to identify and clone genes and
introduce them into bacterial cells and plants to create factored for the massive production
of hormones and vaccines for medicine and for better crops for agriculture. Biotechnology
has become a multibillion-dollar industry
In view of the inexorable progress in science, we can expect that the gene hunters will
be replaced in the spotlight. When and by whom? Which kind of hunters will dominate the
scene in the last decade of our warning century and in the early decades of the next? I
wonder whether the hunters who will occupy the spotlight will be neurobiologists who
apply the techniques of the enzyme and gene hunters to the functions of the brain. What to
call them? The head hunters. I will return to them later.
56. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The microbe hunter
B. The potential of genetic engineering
