X. Exercise 2: Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each
question. (10 points)
WITCH DOCTORING
Many early ideas about the causes and cures of illness seem ridiculous to
us today. Yet in some respects the medicine man of uncivilized tribes used the
method for curing sick persons which are known to have had real value.
In early time when people became ill, they turned for help to the medicine
man of the tribe. It was generally believed that sickness was caused by evil

spirits, and it was the medicine man’s task to drive these bad spirits out of the
sick man. To do this, he would try to frighten them away by making loud noise
and wearing frightening masks. Usually he would chant magic words, sing
special songs, and performed special dances. Nearly always he used a particular
kind of plant which was supposed to be a remedy for a particular sickness.
Some of these cures used by the medicine men did help. The plants which
these early doctors used were frequently drugs now understood to be medicinal
or pain- relieving. The respect and confidence which the people had in their
medicine man gave sick persons hope and helped them feel better.
1. Which not directly stated, it can be reasoned from the article that ________
A. witch doctors have always failed.

C. witch doctors might have cured some people.
D. witch doctors were really ridiculous people.

A. medicinal plants
B. uncivilized doctoring

PART 4. Reading
VIII. Read the text and choose the best answer.

Bats are not the dirty, bloodthirsty monsters that they are portrayed to be in vamp

films. These animals groom themselves carefully like cats and only rarely carry rabies. Of t

hundreds of species of bats, only three rely on blood meals. In fact, the majority eat fru
4

insects, spiders, or small animals. They consume an enormous number of pests, pollin

many varieties of plant life, and help reforest barren land by excreting millions of undigested see

Almost all bats use echolocation to navigate, especially at night. As they fly, they emi

series of high-pitched squeaks at the rate of about fifty per minute. As these signals boun

off objects in their path, an echo is detected by the bats' sensitive ears which informs them
10

the direction and distance of obstacles so that they can undertake corrective or evasive actio

But bats are not blind as widely assumed. In fact, all species of bats can see, probably abo
as well as human beings.

It is also a little-known fact that bats are highly social creatures. Thousands or ev

millions of individual bats may belong to a colony, hanging upside down in caves or in tre
13

Within their social systems, bats assume specialized roles. Some may guard the entrance

their caves, others may scout for food, and still others may warn the colony of approachi

danger. A nursery colony may be part of a larger colony to provide mother bats with a sa
supportive environment in which to rear their young.
1. What is the author's opinion of bats?
A. They are dirty and they carry rabies.
