Read the passages below and choose the right answer to each question
PassageA:

As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have become increasingly interested
in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks. High-fat diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been
known to contribute to the high incidence of heart failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be
significantly longer and quite surprising.
Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage of heart attacks occur in cold
weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any other day of the week. In addition, people are
more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon
in the mid-1980, and have since discovered a number of possible causes. An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate,
and concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher
incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M.
In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors. Statistics reveal that heart attack rates
increase significantly for both females and males in the few days immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And
unmarried men are more at risk for heart attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to be linked in
some way to all of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why and
how heart failure is triggered.
Question 51: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. risk factors in heart attacks B. seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacks
C. cardiology in the 1980s D.diet and stress as factors in heart attacks

A. involve B. affect C. cause D. encounter
Question 54: Which of the following could best replace the word "incidence" as used in line 3?
A. increase B. rate C. chance D. factor
Question 55: The author uses the word "temporal" in line 4 to mean
A. affected by B.of a certain date C. expected D. regularly
Question 56: Which of the following does the passage infer?

A.We now fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks.
B. We recently began to study how risk factors trigger heart attacks.
C. We have not identified many risk factors associated with heart attacks.
D. We do not fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks.
Question 57: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a possible cause of many heart attacks?
A. decreased blood flow to the heart B. increased blood pressure C. lower heart rate D. increase in hormones

Passage B:
Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the tides. No other force that
affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves created by the wind are surface movements felt no more than
a hundred fathoms below the surface. The currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite
their impressive sweep. The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun.
In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of the universe. In reality,
however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun.
Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is
correspondingly later each day. And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies. The
tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full. These are the highest flood tides and
the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides. At these times, the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in
line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward
against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun,
Moon, and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate
tidal movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during
the month.
Question 61: The word felt in line 2 is closest in meaning to

A. explored B. dropped C. detected D. based
Question 62: The words In reality in line 5 are closest in meaning to
A. characteristically B. similarly C. surprisingly D. actually
Question 63: The word correspondingly in line 7 is closest in meaning to
A. unusually B. interestingly C. similarly D. unpredictably
Question 64: The word configuration in line 12 is closest in meaning to
A. surface B. arrangement C. unit D. center
Question 65: Neap tides occur when
A. the Sun counteracts the Moon’s gravitational attraction
B.waves created by the wind combine with the Moon’s gravitational attraction
C.the Moon is full
D.the Moon is farthest from the Sun
Question 66: What is the cause of the spring tides?
A.Seasonal changes in the weather B.The triangular arrangment of the Earth, Sun, and Moon
C.The Earth’s movement around the Sun D.The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon when nearly in line with the
Earth
Question 67: When are the tides strongest?
A. When the moon rises B. When the sun rises C. When the moon is full D. During the month
Question 68: What is the main point of the first paragraph?
A.The tides are the most powerful force to affect the movement of ocean water
B.Despite the strength of the wind, it only moves surface water
C.The waves created by ocean currents are very large
D.Deep ocean water is seldom affected by forces that move water
Question 69: According to the passage, all of the following statements about tides are true EXCEPT:
A. Neap tides are more moderate than spring tides B.The time of high tide is later each day
C.The strongest tides occur at the quarters of the Moon D.Tides have a greater effect on the sea than waves do
Question 70: It can be inferred from the passage that the most important factor in determining how much gravitational effect
one object in space has on the tides is
A. temperature B. distance C. size D. density
