The Industrial Revolution in Britain was built on the use of machines in factories. Since the 1950s, Britain's
(36) industries have replaced machine operators with computers, and this (37) has led to a decline in
the number of (38) in many factories. Goods are bought and used much more than ever before but a lot
of these goods are imported. By the beginning of the 20th century, other industrial countries like the USA
were (39) with Britain's exports, and countries in the Far East have been able to provide cheaper
(40) since the 1970s. Areas located with heavy industries are suffering high unemployment. During the
last 30 years, there has been a constant rise in smaller industries (41) as "light industries". These ones
use electricity and are not (42) on raw materials such as coal so they are "footloose", i.e. they can be

located anywhere. They produce such things as washing machines or spare (43) Some of these
industries produce nothing at all, but provide services like distribution. The consumer boom of the 1980s
and the increased leisure time of most Britons have led to rapid (44) in service industries like banking,
tourism, retailing and information processing, and in industries which distribute, maintain, and repair
(45) consumer goods.

Questions 46 - 55. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions.
Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frames of an object, each
slightly different than the preceding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to
draw the different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the
computer will produce the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as
computer-assisted animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.
In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequence of
pictures.
These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that define the objects in the pictures as they
exist in mathematical space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information. Highly
trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees of
realism involves computer techniques for three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures.
High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special

color terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a
single frame. It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen.
A camera can be used to film directly from the computer's display screen, but for the highest quality
images possible, expensive film recorders are used. The computer computes the positions and colors for the
figures in the picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes,
however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder. Once this process
is completed, it is repeated for the next frame. When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the
film must be developed before the animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right, the
motions must be corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive
and time consuming. Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer-
generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution,
realistic-looking images.

A. The production process B. The equipment needed
C. The high cost D. The role of the artist

A. add color to the images B. expose several frames at the same time
C. store individual images D. create new frames
50. According to the passage, the positions and colours of the figures in high-tech animation are
determined by
A. drawing several versions B. enlarging one frame at a lime
C. analyzing the sequence from different angles D. using computer calculations

Questions 56 - 65. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions.
The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to flee. Natural selection has acted in
a variety of ways in different species to enhance the efficacy of the behaviours, known as "flight
behaviours" or escape behaviours that are used by prey in fleeing predators. Perhaps the most direct
adaptation is enhanced light speed and agility.
Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so we might expect only
some species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy.
Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic and unpredictable way. Many
species, like ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a characteristic
zigzag fashion. Rapid unexpected changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to track prey.
In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective in the presence of
predators that are faster than they are and straight light more effective against predators that are slower. One
observation that supports this suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded gulls, which
are normally able to escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent changes in flight direction
when they spot a peregrine falcon (peregrines are adept at capturing flying birds).
A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash" behaviour. Here, the alarmed

prey flees for a short distance and then "freezes." Some predators are unexcited by immobile prey, and a
startling flash of activity followed by immobility may confuse them. "Flash" behaviour is used in
particular by frogs and orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit immobile. In
some species, "flash" behaviour is enhanced by the display of bright body markings. Good examples of
insects with colourful markings are the red and yellow underwing moths. At rest, both species are a cryptic
brown color. When they fly, however, brightly coloured hind wings are exposed, which render the moths
highly conspicuous. Similarly, some frogs and lizards have brightly coloured patches or frills that may serve
a 'flash" function when they move quickly. Some species even appear to possess "flash" sounds. The loud
buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when they jump may serve to emphasize the
movement.
56. The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to
A. encourage B. resist C. increase D. reveal
57. The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement is
A. reliable B. fast C. constant D. unpredictable
58. It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare
A. is faster than most of its predators B. is capable of two kinds of flight
C. is more likely to escape using straight flight D. is preyed upon by gulls and falcons
59. The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of
A. gazelles B. European hares C. peregrine falcons D. frogs
60. It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for which
of the following reasons?
A. The falcons are faster than the gulls.
B. The gulls want to capture the falcons.
C. The falcons are unpredictable.
D. The gulls depend on the falcons for protection.
61. The word "alarmed" is closest in meaning to
A. moving B. selected C. frightened D. exhausted
62. All of the followings are mentioned as characteristics of "flash" behaviour EXCEPT
A. brief conspicuous activity B. immobility
C. bright body markings D. aggressive fighting

63. The phrase "in particular" is closest in meaning to
4
A. especially B. with difficulty C. expertly D. frequently
64. The hind wings of red and yellow underwing moths function in a way that is most similar to
A. the hind wings of peregrine falcons B. the zigzag flight of European hares
C. the colored patches on frogs D. the clicking of grasshoppers
65. Why does the author mention "grasshopper" in the last line?
A. To contrast animals that "flash" with animals that "freeze".
B. As an example of an animal whose "flash" behaviour is a sound.
C. To compare the jumping behaviour of insects and reptiles.
D. As an example of a predator that moths escape by using "flash" behavior.

Text 2.
In the very distant geological past all animals were aquatic. The very first vertebrates, or animals with
backbones, of which we have any fossil record, lived in the water. These vertebrates, the fish, were adapted
to underwater living. Their streamlined bodies were covered with scales to reduce surface friction: they had
muscular tails so that they could swim swiftly in such a dense medium as water; and they were endowed
with gills for breathing underwater.
Descendants of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and accommodated themselves to life on
land. As amphibians, they possessed limbs instead of fins and lungs instead of gills. But they never became
completely free of the bonds that tied them to the water; even today many amphibians return to the water to
lay their eggs.
Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types of land dwellers
appeared; these animals gave rise to the present-day reptiles and mammals. They were more completely
converted for land dwelling, with bodies and biological activities far different from those of fish. With these
special adaptations, mammals have been able to colonize the woods and meadows, the deserts and high

mountains, often far removed from the sea.

Charles Eliot, taking over at Harvard in 1869 at the age of 35, pioneered a break with the traditional
curriculum. The usual course of studies at American universities emphasized classical and humanistic
courses, classical languages, mathematics, ethics and rhetoric; and each institution prescribed a rigid
program of required courses. Under Eliot’s leadership, Harvard dropped most of its required courses in
favour of an elective system and increased its course offerings to stress the physical and social sciences,
the fine arts and modern languages. Soon other institutes in all sections of the country were following
Harvard’s lead. Eliot was also influential in bringing about important reforms in professional education.
He renovated the Harvard medical and law schools, raising the requirements and lengthening the
residence period, and again the Harvard model affected the other schools. Improved technical training in
other professions accompanied the advances in medicine and law. Both state and private universities
hastened to establish schools of architecture, engineering, education, journalism and business.

Although Harvard was one of the first universities to found a graduate school, the recognized center for
graduate study, based on the German system with the highest award, was John Hopkins.
51. What did Charles Eliot do at Harvard?
A. He started studies under a rigid program.
B. He introduced modern studies.
C. He removed all classical studies.
D. He selected students under an elective system.
52. According to the passage, after 1869 students at Harvard were ____.
A. given a wide selection of subjects to choose from.
B. allowed to choose any subject at all to study.
C. required to study physical and social sciences
D. unable to follow classical and humanistic courses

Our demand for water is constantly increasing. Every year there are more and more
people in the world. Factories turn out more and more products and need more and more water.
We live in a world of water. But almost all of it - about 97%-is in the oceans. This water is too
salty to be used for drinking, farming, and manufacturing. Only about 3% of the world's water is
fresh. Most of this water is not easily available to man because it is locked in glaciers and
icecaps.
There is as much water on earth today as there ever was or will ever be. Most of the
water we use finds its way to the oceans. There, it is evaporated by the sun. It then falls back to
the earth as rain. Water is used and reused over again. It is never used up. Although the world
as a whole has plenty of fresh water, some regions have a water shortage. Rain does not fall
evenly over the earth. Some regions are always too dry, and others too wet. A region that
usually gets enough rain may suddenly have a serious dry spell and another region may be
flooded with too much rain.
