61. Questions 61-64

Barbara Tuchman was an American Pulitzer Prize-winning historian
who knew how to stand out from the crowd. Author of books such as
"The First Salute", her best selling account of the American Revolution,
Tuchman had a special talent for making history appealing to common
people. Unlike other unpublished historians, Tuchman did not limit
herself to a dry retelling of fact. Her prose skillfully combined scholarly
treatment with high drama.
Tuch man also distinguished herself by declining to pursue a doctorate
degree, which won her the disrespect of many of her mainstream
colleagues. To them, the lack of advanced trainingmade her books
suspect has literary works and teachings tools. A few others, however,
maintained that her art of historical investigation might actually have
suffered if she had acquired a Ph.D degree. They point to the boring
efforts of historians whose works, for the most part, lie buried on library
shelves. Tuchman, on the other hand, succeeded in bringing history to
the attention of the masses.

64. It can be inferred from the passage that many mainstream
historians

view Tuchman with great respect
suffered as a result of Tuchman's literary success
dismissed Tuchman's works as literary prose
never attained advanced degrees

65. Questions 65-69

Money is an international commodity that moves across continents
almost as fast as moves across the street. One of the things that lures
money across international border
s is the rate of interest. If interest rates
are higher abroad than at home, American businesses and investors will
move their money out the the USA and into countries with higher
interest rates. When domestic interest rates are higher, the flow of
money will reverse.
These international money flows are another constraint on monetary
policy. Suppose the federal government wants to slow the economy by
limiting money-supply growth. Such tight-money policies will tend to
raise interest rates in the USA. A higher interest rate is supposed to curb
domestic investment and consumer spending. But those higher U.S.
interest rates will also be an attraction to foreign money. People holding
dollars abroad will want to move more money to teh United States,
where it can earn higher interest rates. Foreigners will also want to
exchange cheir currencies for dollars, again in order to earn higher
interest rates.
As international money flows into the United States, the money supply
will expand more quickly than the government desired. This will
frustrate the government's policy objectives and may force it to increase
the international value of the dollar, making it more difficult to sell U.S.
exports. In sum, the internationalization of money is one more problem
the federal government has to worry about when it conducst monetary
policy.

65. This passage mainly discusses

international politics
U.S. banking
international money and money policy
interest rates for foreign investors


66. The main idea of the passage is that

money is an international commodity.
interest rates determine the flow of international money.

A criticism of current monetary policies
A response to a proposal for a change in monetary policy
An explanation of an issue in monetary policy


70. Questions 70-74:

The world above the forest floor can be observed by all of us. Rarely,
however, do we take the time to notice the teeming life and bustling
activity that occurs beneath the ground we walk on.
Of all soil-dwelling creatures, the most abundant are mites and
springtails, insect-like creatures that literally eat their way through
caverns of subterranean vegetation. The tiny, eight-
legged mites lay their
eggs on plant matter, which their larvae eat and convert into fresh soil.
The bright-colored springtails are named for their ability to leap long
distances during their search for decomposed plant matter to eat.
Both mites and springtails are prey to a host of soil-dwelling predators.
They thus anchor one end of the food chain that extends to higher forms
of forest "lowlife", such as moles that feed on earthworjms and shrews
that eat beetles.
Those mammals, in turn, dig tunnels that function as underground

byways for other subterranean species. Hibernating chipmunks, turtles,
and salamanders sift and mix the soil when they burrow to winter dens.
Cottontails and gray foxes excavate shallow dens as sanctuary from
predators and harsh weather, while gray squirrels, hiding acorns for the
lean season, further blend the earth. From microbe to people, thousands
of species work the land upon which all life depends.

70. The passage states that which of the following are the most numerous
inhabitants of the soil?

Foxes and cottontails
Earthworms and ants
Mites and springtails
Shrews and moles


71. According to the passage, all of the following are true about mites
and springtails EXCEPT

they make new soil
they resemble insects
they form the lower end of the food chain
they hibernate for the winter


72. An example of predator and prey given in this passage is


mites and springtails
turtles and salamanders

moles and earthworms
gray squirrels and acorns


73. Which of the following are mentioned in the passage as living
underground during the winter?

Shrews
Foxes
Squirrels
Salamanders


74. According to the author, the contribution that all the animals
mentioned in the passage make to their habitat is

they form the food chain
they work the soil
they find safety in the soil
they convert plant material to new earth


75. Questions 75-78:
Man's association and involvement with birds of prey is recorded as far
back as the Middle Ages, so if you are interested in history, photography
or bird-watching, you will enjoy a visit to the Hawk Conservancy.
Here you can see birds of prey from many parts of the world including
hawks, falcons, owls, eagles, vultures and kites. Owls vary enormously in
size - from the dimunitive Scops Owl to the great Eagle Owl of the
Scandinavian forests. The huge grotesque vultures contrast strangely

with the grace and elegance of the falcons.
Using old falconry methods to train our birds, hawks, falcons and eagles
are flown free at intervals daily - and this really is a unique opportunity
to appreciate the beauty and splendour of the bird in flight.
At these demonstration times you have the opportunity to hold a bird of
prey and to take photographs. If you would like to learn a little more
about birds of prey, then our staff will be only too pleased to teach and
pass on their enthusiasm and experience, as we believe education is the
cornerstone of conservation.
Try to come on a fine dry afternoon to make the best of your visit as our
birds will not fly in wet weather. Weather permitting, flying
demonstrations are usually given at 12 noon, 2pm, 3 pm, and 4 pm.
The Conservancy offers educational facilities to schools and youth
organizations at no extra charge on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday each wek during term time. This includes a short introductory
lecture and questionnaire for the children to complete , n addition to a
full educational flying demonstration. To take advantage of these
facilities, all parties must book at least sevens prior to the intended visit.
Reduced rates for parties of twenty or over are available upon
application.

75. If you go to the Hawk Conservancy, you will see

birds of all kinds
a selection of British birds of prey
every European eagle
birds of prey from all over the world


76. One of the main attractions of the Hawk Conservancy is

seeing the birds flying free
being able to handle all the birds
helping to trains falcons
being allowed to feed the birds by hand


77. There are afternoon flying demonstrations almost every hour


unless you ask for special facilities
as long as you don't mind paying extra
provided there are enough people
if the weather is good


78. Which party of school children would get reduced rates?


A party of 12 booking 5 days before their Friday visit
A party of 40 booking 4 days before their Monday visit
A party of 25 booking 2 weeks before their Tuesday visit

A party of 10 booking a month before their Saturday visit



79. Questions 79 - 83:

What is the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome? Past research has
suggested a link to the Epstein-Barr virus, but now many scientists are
questioning that connection. New findings suggest that he Epstein-Barr
virus is not a primary cause, but it may still trigger the illness. The
symtoms may be due to a variety of things, rather than just one. Still,
some researchers are sticking with the idea of Epstein-Barr virus ca
using
the illness. They say that it is premature to make such a judgement.
Chronic fatigue syndrome has been dubbed the "yuppie disease" by
some since it is often diagnosed in professional women in their twenties
and thirties. It may be the result of never recovering completely from
illnesses such as the flu. Though the cuase is not clear, the symptoms are.
To be called a chronic fatigue sufferer, one must have the debilitating
illness for more than six months and must exhibit at least eight of the
eleven symptoms, including sore throat, mild fever, and muscular aches.


79. With which of the following subjects is the passage mainly
concerned?

A disagreement between scientists
Diseases affecting yuppies
Causes and symptoms of an illness
The relationship between a virus and an illness


80. Why is this illness often called "the yuppie disease?"


It affects so many young professional women

It has so many symptoms
It is difficult to treat
No one knows for sure what causes it



81. According to the passage, a sufferer of chronic fatigue syndrome


will be sick for about six months
will have had the flu
will have eleven symptoms
will have sore throats, aches and fever


82. According to the passage, which of the following statements about
chronic fatigue syndrome is best supported?

A sufferer might never recover from it
Scientists don't agree on the cause
It is more common among women than men
The Epstein-Barr virus can cause premature effects of the illness


83. Chronic fatigue syndrome will cause which of the following?


Weakness
Vomiting
Rash

Dizziness


84. Questions 84-88:
Exposure to bright light may hold the key to helping people who suffer
from jet lag and other sleep disorders. In a study of 14 men exposed to
fluorescent lighting at various times during 1 24-hour stretch, research
scientists have discovered that the body's natural alarm clock can be
reset over a period of two or three days. This cuts in third the time
required for adjustments in the body after long international flights.
Dr. Charles Czeisler , director of the research team, believes that light
has a direct biological effect on the sleep-wake cycle of the body. The
hypothalamus; t
he brain's sleep regulator, is connected straight to nerves
in the eye's retina. Dr. Czeisler's theory is that light impulses are the
primary factor in resetting the sleep-wake cycle. This stands in contrast
to accepted belief that light only indirectly affects the cycle by making it
more difficult to sleep.

84. What is the main subject of this passge?

Various ways to avoid jet lag and sleep disorders
Benefits of fluorescent lighting
The nature of the sleep-wake cycle
The effect of light on the internal clcoks of humans


85. It can be inferred that resetting the body clock after long flights
normally takes

between six and nine days
almost exactly 24 hours
around two to three days
about four to five days


86. According to the passage, what is the hypothalamus?


The body's control center for sleep
The retina of the eye
The sleep-wake cycle
Light impulses


87. According to the passage, a traditional scientific belief is that light


has much effect on the body adjustments.
should not prevent people from sleep.
only indirectly influences the scleep-wake cycle.
is the main regulator of the body's clock.


88. It can be inferred from the passage that Dr. Czeisler's theory


will completely eliminate all sleep disorders.
is not yet accepted principal.
has little practical application.

is based primarily on guesswork.


89. Questions 89-94:

During the 1920's the Broadway musical, now widely thought to be the
United States's unique contribution to the universal list of theater genres,
came into being. Its forebears were certainly the Viennese operettas of
Franz Lehar and Oscar Straus. Yet the musical differs from them in that
it utilizes a credible plot, music and lyrics of equal importance, strong
chorus and ensemble work, and expert choreography. Unlike the earlier
operettas and musical comedies in which the company was clearly
divided into musicians, dancers, and actors, the Broadway musical
requires a cast in which every member can sing, dance, and act with skill
and energy. These demands have for two decades dictated the training
policies of most of the leading theater schools in the United States.

89. The ancestors of the musicals that were seen in the United States in
the 1920s were

American musical comedies
Vietnnese operettas
Viennese plays
American operas


90. The main importance of the Broadway musical to America is that


it is different from other kinds of American musical

it is America's particular gift to world theater
it contains many different elements
it is a large scale American enterprise


91. Which of the following may NOT be used to distinguish a Broadway
musical from other, earlier kinds of musical?

Its plot is fairly believable.
The words and music have the same importance.
The dancing is very professional
It is extremely theatrical


92. In the kind of musicals that came before the Broadway musical there
was a greater emphasis placed on

more specialized roles
general co-operation
a wide range of abilities
chorus work


93. The author of the passage implies that some theater schools in the
United States are very much interested in finding

more varied plays
tougher training programs
an increasing number of students
students possessing many abilities

94. The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses

how the Broadway musical was developed overseas
the activities of theater schools in the United States
the relationship of the Broadway musical to other forms of musical

what each member of a company must do in a Broadway musical


95. Questions 95-100:
Dolphins emit rapid streams of high-pitched clicks, some audible to us,
some ultrasonic. It is probable that the "melo
n", the bulging dome on the
front of a dolphin's head, has something to do with beaming the sonar
signals forward, but its exact workings are not understood. As in the case
of bats, there is a relatively slow "cruising rate" of clicking, rising to a
high speed (400 clicks per second) buzz when the animal is closing in on
prey. Even the "slow" cruising rate is pretty fast. The river dolphins that
live in muddy watr are probably the most skilled echolocators, but some
sea dolphins have been shown in tests to be pretty good too.

95. All the sounds made by dolphins

are ultrasonic
can be heard by humans
are loud
are high in pitch

96. The "melon" can be found


among sonar signals
on a dome
on a dolphin's head
among a stream of clicks


97. Scientists are not sure about

how some dolphins emit sounds

the composition of sonar signals

the pitch of the dolphin's clocks

the function of the "melon"


98. The rate of clicking in dolphins increases when


they get near their targets
they approach bats
the cruising rate accelerates
they get excited

99. River dolphins are good at

locating melons in muddy water

crusing at pretty high speeds
using sounds to find objects
beating sea dolphins in tests


100. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?


Sea and river dolphins
The cruising rate of dolphins
The quality of dolphins' sounds
Dolphins and echolocation
