Passage 1

There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today---the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.

For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800’s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore much anymore. They began to work instead to make life better.

In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part if our life today.

The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909; sound movies in 1926; the computer in 1928; and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.

The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.

By this time most people had a very good life. of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world is known to man but the stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.

In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

41. The first great invention ever known was ___.

A. the camera B. the wheel C. the electric light D. the radio 42. ___ inventions had had as much effect as the wheel before the 19th century. A. Quite a number of B. Some C. Few D. Many other 43. Nylon came out nearly at the same time as ___.

A. the radio B. the camera C. jet planes D. the movies 44. According to this passage, ___.

A. only Americans have walked on the moon B. only Russians have walked on the moon

C. China and Japan are among those countries that have sent men to the moon D. both A and B

45. This passage talks mainly about ___. A. how inventions affect people’s lives B. when the electric light was invented

C. which country made the first step into space D. why cars were very important Passage 2

The best way to improve your vocabulary is through reading. The successful person reads a lot. We learn nearly all of our active vocabulary through context, and usually through context in reading. We learn what a new word means from the words and sentences around it. Only once in a while do we give up and look the word up in a dictionary. But this is not laziness; it’s a good way to learn. Words that we learn through their use in context are much more likely to stay with us than words we memorize by themselves, as in a list or in a dictionary if we are prone to read a dictionary.

The words we learn through reading will improve not just our reading vocabulary but our listening, speaking and writing vocabulary as well. It is these four types of vocabulary that have a direct impact upon our daily lives. They control how ell we understand what we hear and read how well we speak and write. So we can see that vocabulary is so much more than ‘fancy words you won’t use’. It represents your thoughts. It gives you social, economic, and academic power. 46. According to this passage, it is a good idea ___. A. to look up the unknown words in dictionary B. to give up some unknown words

C. to learn the meaning of almost all the active words from the words and sentences around D. to use the four types of vocabulary

47. What is meant by ‘prone (to)’ in the last sentence of the second paragraph? A. happy (to) B. likely (to) C. willing (to) D. eager (to) 48. Which of the following has an immediate influence on our daily lives? A. Reading and listening vocabulary. B. Only reading vocabulary. C. Speaking and writing vocabulary. D. Both A and C. 49. The author thinks that we learn most of our vocabulary ___. A. through context in reading B. through a list of words

C. through contact with others D. through repeating unfamiliar sentences

50. By saying ‘that vocabulary is so much more than “fancy words you won’t use”’, the author means

___.

A. there exist much more words learnt through four types of vocabulary than those we seldom use B. we can understand some of the special words through imagination C. we can learn new words through four types of vocabulary much more easily D. there are fewer unfamiliar words in popular writings Passage 3

An election year is one in which all four numbers are evenly divisible by four (1944, 1948, etc). Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending in zero have been destined to die in office. Willian H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia several weeks after his inauguration.

Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860, and his untimely death came five years later.
