was written inside an oval called a ‘’ cartouch’’. Further investigation revealed that cartouches contained names
of important people of that period. Champollion painstakingly continued his search and was able to increas his
growing list of known phonetic signs.He and an English man, Thomas Young , worked independently of each

be assigned to the synbols while champollion insisted that the pictures represented words

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,C, or D on your answer sheet to indicatethecorrect
answerto each of thequestions from 36to42.
In today's competitive world, what responsible parent would not want to give their children the best
possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months
old, to become familiar with computers. They seem to think that if their children grow up with
computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future. No one has proved that
computers make children more creative or more intelligent. The truth may even be the opposite.
Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young,
may negatively affect normal brain development. Children gain valuable experience of the world
from their interaction with physical objects. Ten month-old babies may benefit more from bumping
their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eye- catching
cartoons. A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect
better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen. So, as
educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer
classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs.
It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an
early age. Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse". Now is the time when they should be out
there learning to ride a bike. There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards.
Question 36: Children who spend a lot of time on their computers
.

A. do not necessarily make more progress than those who don't.
B. tend to like music and art more than those who don't.
C. will suffer from brain damage.
D. tend to have more accidents than those who don't.
Question 37: What would be an appropriate title for this passage?
A. More computers mean brighter future
B. Computers in schools
C. Never too early to start
D. Let kids be kids

Question 38: What is true according to the passage?
A. There is no evidence that children who use computers are more clever than those who do not.
B. Computers seriously harm children's eyesight.
C. It is better for children to take computer lessons than art lessons.
D. Parents should not put off buying a computer for their children.
Question 39: The word “coordination” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to
.
A. collaboration
B. disorganization
C. unskillfulness
D. classification
Question 40: The author implies that children learn better
.
A. after they have developed hand-eye coordination.
B. when they hold and feel things around them.
C. as they get older.

D. when they use a computer.
Question 41: The word “ludicrous” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to
.
A. sensible
B. humorous
C. ridiculous
D. ironic
Question 42: Why do parents want their children to learn how to use a computer from an early age?
A. Because they are afraid their children will become competitive.
B. Because they want their children to be well prepared for their future.
C. Because this is what all the other parents seem to do.
D. Because they believe their children will have difficulty learning to use one if they don't start
early.

Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial
problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare. And since

Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its
desiccating effects. No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found.
The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is
open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is
largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having
adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word.
The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if,
like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes.
So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground,
emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but
18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees.

Question 43: The title for this passage could be
.
A. “Desert Plants”
B. “Life Underground”
C. “Animal Life in a Desert Environment”
D. “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment”

.
A. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert
B. water is an essential part of his existence
C. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things
D. very few large animals are found in the desert

.
A. water-loving animals
B. the coyote and the bobcat

The hippopotamus is the third largest land animal, smaller only than the elephant and the
rhinoceros. Its name comes from two Greek words which mean “river horse”. The long name of this
animal is often shortened to the easier to handle term “hippo.”
The hippo has a natural affinity for the water. It does not float on top of the water; instead, it can
easily walk along the bottom of a body of water. The hippo commonly remains underwater for three to
five minutes and has been known to stay under for up to half an hour before coming up for air.
In spite of its name, the hippo has relatively little in common with the horse and instead has a number
of interesting similarities in common with the whale. When a hippo comes up after a stay at the bottom
of a lake or river, it releases air through a blowhole, just like a whale. In addition, the hippo resembles

hairless.
