READING COMPREHENSION A. Read the passage and choose the best answere.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(23)</span> I am often asked whether we will do anything about the taxes we all have to pay. Of course, what people mean is that they don’t want to pay so much. But I have to ask in return which services they would like to lose, for we cannot expect to have modern hospitals, well-kept roads, good schools, or attractive parks if we are not prepare to pay for these things. Our children do not think that schools and colleges are only for the sons and daughters of the rich, as once they were. More and more of us live longer and longer. We all feel that we should be able to see a doctor when we need to. Old people shouldn’t suffer because they are afraid of the doctor’s bill. In our society, we are proud of the fact that no one is asked whether they can pay for the bill before they are allowed into a hospital. But if we want to continue to provide for all the needs of our society, we must remember that nothing in life is free. My party does not promise to cut taxes immediately, we do promise to continue all the services that uor taxes pay for, and we hope that we will manage things so well after a short time some taxes may be reduced. 71. this massage may be taken from A.

Read the passage and choose the best answer Simply stated, computational linguistics is no more tan the use of electronic digital computers in linguistic research. These machines are employed to scan texts and to produce such valuable tools for linguistic and stylistic research as word lists, frequency counts, and concordances. But moer interesting and theoretically much more difficult than the compilation of lists is the use of computers for automatic grammatical analysis and translation. A considerable amount of progress was made in the are of machine translation in the United States, Great Britain, the SoViet Union, and France between the mid-1950s and the mid-1960s, but much of original impetus for this word has now disappeared, due part to the realization that the problems involved are infinitely more complex than they were at first envisaged. Thus, tranlation continues to remain as much art as a science, if not more so. 76. The phrase “this work” in line 8 refers to A. linguistic research B. machine translator C. the compilation of list D. grammatical analysis 77.

Without a vehicle, divers often became sluggish and their mental concentration was limited. Because of undersea pressure that affected their speech organs, communication among divers was difficult or impossible. But today, most oceanographers make observations by means of instruments that are lowered into the ocean, or from samples taken from the water. Direct observations of the ocean floor are made not only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines. Some of these bubmarines can dive to depth of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet. Radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote control inorder to transmit information back to land-based labolatories including data about water temperature, currents and weather. Some of mankind’s most serious problem, especially those concerning energy and food, may be solved with the help of observations made by these undersea vehicles 76. With which topic is the passage primarily concerned? A. Recent technological Advances B. Communication among divers C. Direct observations of The Ocean Floor D. Undersea Vehicles 77.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(38)</span> was not trained, but his artistic sensitivity and intuitive feel for two-dimensional design and the arrangement of color and patterns made him one of the finest primitive artists America has produced. Pippin did a series of paintings on the abolitionist John Brown and on one of his war experience, but he shied away from socila issues for the most part and achieved his greatest success with scenes of the people and places of his hometown of West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Read the passage and choose the best answer Although “lie detectors” are being used by governments, police department, and businesses the results are not always accurate. Lie detectors are properly called emotion detectors, for their aim is to measure bodily cahnges that contradict what a person says. The polygraph machine records changes in heart rate, breathing, blood preasure, and the galvanic skin response, or GSR. In the first part of the polygraph test, you are electronically connected to the machine and asked a few neutral questions (what’s your name? where do you live?) Your physical reactions serve as the standard for evaluating what comes nest. Then you are asked a few critical questions among the neutral ones (when did you rob the bank?)the assumption is that if you are guilty, your body will reveal the truth, even if you try to deny it. Your heart rate respiration, and GSR will change abruptly as you respond to the incriminating questions. That is the theory, but psychologists have found that lie detectors are simply not reliable. Since most physical changes are the same across all emotions, machines cannot tell whether yopu are feeling guity, angry, nervous, thrilled, or revved up from an exciting day. Innocent people may be tense and nervous about the whole procedure. They may react physiologically to a certain word (bank) not because they robbed it, but they recently bounced a check. In either case the machine will record a “lie” .The reverse mistake is also common. Some practise liars can lie without flinching,and others learn to beat the machine by tensing muscles or thinking about exciting experiece during neutral questions 76. According to the passage, polygraph tests A. record a person’s physical reaction B. measure a person’s thoughts C. always reveal the truth about a person.

Machines are no match for psychologists. D. polygraph tests should not be used as the sole evidence of guilt 80. Why did the author write this passage? A. To illustrate how a lie detector works B.
