Q: What are they talking about?
Section B
Passage 1
Most people know what a hot dog is. It’s a sausage in a roll. But
do you know why it’s called a hot
dog? Well, the long red sausage which goes into a hotdog is called a
Frankfurter. It got its name from the German town Frankfurt. The
sausages were very popular, but hot frankfurters were difficult to sell
in crowds. One man, Harry Stevens, had the job of feeding the crowds in
baseball games. He had an idea. Why not put the frankfurters in long,
hot bread rolls? This made them easy to sell. The “red hot” had a hot
and attractive taste and became very popular. But in 1903, an American
cartoonist drew a long German sausage dog in place of the frankfurter so
a frankfurter in a roll soon became known as a “hot dog”. It was a
joke, but some
people really thought the sausages contained dog meat. For a while,
sales of hotdogs failed, but not for long.
11. What is a frankfurter?
12. What was Harry Stevens’ job?
13. Why did sales of hot dogs decrease for some time?
Passage 2
We all scream for water when thirsty, but do you know in very hot,
dry weather, plants also make faint sounds—as if they are crying out
for help?
You see, in a plant’s stem there are hundreds of “water pipes”
that bring water and minerals from
the soil all the way up to the leaves. As the ground turns dry, it
becomes harder and harder for the plants to do this.
In severe droughts, plants have to fight to pull out any water
available. Scientist Robert winter has found out that when it is really
bad their water pipes snap from the tension like rubber bands. When that
3
happens, the whole plant vibrates a little. The snapping pipes make
noises ten thousand times more quiet than a whisper.
Robert knows that healthy, well- watered plants are quiet. He also
knows that many insects prefer attacking dry plants rather than healthy
plants. How do the insects know which are healthy plants and which are
not? Robert thinks that the insects may listen for the plants that cry
and then they may buzz in to kill.
To test his theory, Robert is using a device that can imitate plant
cries. He attaches it to a quiet, healthy plant so the plant sounds
thirsty. Then he watches insects to see if they attack more often than
usual.
If he is right, scientists could use the insects’ ability against
them. They could build traps that
imitate crying plants. So when the insects buzz in to eat, they
won’t buzz out.
14. What do plants do when they are thirsty?
15. What plants do many insects tend to attack?
16. What could scientists do if Robert’s theory proves to be true?
Passage 3
People enjoy taking trips, but what are the reasons they leave home?
One reason is for education. People travel because they want to broaden
their horizons to learn about other people and other places. They are
curious about other cultures. When people are tourists, they get a quick
look at different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of
lifestyle is an important lesson.
On a trip, a person can learn directly—by visiting museums and
historic spots. What does a tourist
learn who sees the art museums, visits the historical palaces and
other scenic spots in Paris, and shops along the River Seine? He gets a
vivid picture—a real-life—one of the French people. He learns about
their
attitudes, how they feel about business, beauty and history.
What about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong? Does he get the same
information that he could get from a book? he might read that Hong Kong
is crowded, that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each
person, but seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much
more. He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every
kilometer of roadway, but the sight of so many vehicles parked along the
roadside will be a much more vivid lesson. The tourist to Hong Kong will
never forget the contrasts—the
straight vertical lines of the tall modern buildings and the moving
lines of boats that people live in. 17. Why do people leave home to
travel according to the passage?
18. What do we learn from the passage about Paris?
19. What impression will a tourist get of Hong Kong?
20. What does the passage tell us about travelling?

Section B
Passage One
The piano and violin are girls’ instruments. Drums and trumpets are
for boys. According to psychologists Susan Onco and Michael Balton,
children have very clear ideas about which musical instruments they
should play. They find that despite the best efforts of teachers these
ideas have changed very little over the past decade. They interviewed
153 children aged between 9 and 11 from schools in northwest England.
They asked them to identify 4 musical instruments and then to say which
they would like to play most and which they would least lie to play.
They also asked the children for their views on whether boys or girls
should not play any of the 4 instruments. The piano and the violin were
both ranked more favorably by girls than by boys, while boys prefer the
drums and trumpets. There was broad agreement between boys and girls on
which instruments each sex should play and the reasons vary. And while
almost half of all boys said they avoid certain instruments because they
were too difficult to play, only 15% of girls gave that as a reason.
Earlier studies indicated that very young school children aged between 5
and 7 showed no bias in choosing musical instruments, but their tastes
become more clear between the ages of 8 and 10. One survey of 78
teachers suggested that after that age both boys and girls.
11. Why did Susan and Michael interview children aged between 9 and
11?
12. Why do many of the boys avoid certain instruments?
13. Which group of children have a bias when choosing musical
instruments?
Passage Two
In the 1970s, the famous Brazilian football player Pele retired from
the national team of Brazil and became a professional player for a team
in New York. Football, or soccer, wasn’t very popular in the United
7
States at that time. Few North Americans knew anything about this
fast-moving sport. There was no money to pay professional players and
there was little interest in football in high schools and colleges. When
Pele and other international stars began playing in various US cities,
people saw how interesting the game was and began to go to the matches.
It is now common for important games to have fifty to sixty thousand
fans. Support from the fans is important to the football. The fans cheer
enthusiastically for their favorite players and teams, who respond by
playing better than before. In most World Cups, the home team, or the
team from the host country usually plays better than most people expect.
In 1966, 1974 and 1978, the home teams of England, West Germany and
Argentina all won the World Cup. The World Cup is called that because
teams from every continent have played in it. However, since the Cup
began, all of the winning teams have been from Europe or South America.
Teams from Asia or Africa always do well but they haven’t yet won.
Mexico played surprisingly well in the 1970 Cup, which it hosted, but it
wasn’t among the 4 final teams.
14. Why wasn’t football a popular sport in the U.S. in the 1970s?
15. When does a football team have the best chance to win the World
Cup?
16. How did Mexico do in the 1970 World Cup?
Passage Three
The world’s smartest adolescence in mathematics and science are in
Singapore, according to a global survey of educational achievement. In
the 3rd International Mathematics and Science Study, 13-year-olds from
Singapore achieved the best scores in standardized tests of maths and
science that were administered to 287,896 students in 41 countries in
1994 and 1995. The survey suggests that science and maths education is
especially strong in the Far East. While well behind those top scores,
students from Australia earned higher marks in maths than their
counterparts in England, who in turn did better than American students.
scoring The study collected information on the students’ teachers
and homes. Not surprisingly, the highest-
students had well-educated parents or came from homes containing
study-aids such as computers, dictionaries or even such elemental
facilities as desks. The study shows that boys generally did better than
girls in science, but there was little difference between them in maths.
Boys scored better than girls in physics and chemistry. There were no
sex differences in the life and environmental sciences. In addition to
being tested, students in the project were asked how proficient they
thought they were in maths and science. Students in some countries, such
as Columbia and Kuwait, had an overly optimistic view of their skills.
Meanwhile, some of the best students from Japan and Korea for example
were needlessly pessimistic even though they did far better in maths
than almost all of other students.
17. Of the 4 groups of students, who scored the lowest in maths
according to the survey? 18. What kind of students are most likely to
become top scorers?
19. In what way do Columbian students differ from Japanese students?
20. In which subjects did boys score higher than girls?

Passage one
Last August, Susan and 42 other students got wet and dirty while
removing six tons of garbage from the river running across their city.
They cleaned up the river as part of a week-long environmental camp.
Like one in three American rivers, this river is so polluted that it’s
unsafe for swimming and fishing, still, Susan, who has just completed
her third summer on the river clean-up, scene has changed in this river.
“Since
we started three years ago, the river is getting a lot cleaner”,
she says. Environmental scientists praised
the teenagers for removing garbage that can harm wild life.
Waterbirds, for example, can choke on plastic bottle rings and get cut
by scrap metal. Three years ago, when the clean-up started, garbage was
everywhere, but this year, the teenagers had to hunt for garbage. They
turn the clean-up into a competition to see who could find the most
garbage and unload their boats fastest. By the end of the six hour shift,
they have removed enough garbage to fill more than two large trucks.
“Seeing all their garbage in the river makes
people begin to care about environmental issues,” Susan says. She
hopes that when others read that she
13
and her peers care enough to clean it up, maybe they will think
twice before they throw garbage in the river. Questions 11-13 are based
on the passage you have just heard.
11. What does the passage tell us about American rivers?
12. What did the students find when they came to the river this year?
13. What is the expected reaction of the local people to the
students’ efforts?
Passage Two
Why do we cry? Can you imagine life without tears? Not only do tears
keep your eyes lubricated, they also contain a substance that kills
certain bacteria so they can’t infect your eyes. Give up your tears,
and you’ll lose this on-the-spot defense. Nobody wants to give up the
flood of extra tears you produce when you get something physical or
chemical in your eyes. Tears are very good at washing this irritating
stuff out. Another thing you couldn’t do without your tears is cry from
joy, anger or sadness. Humans are
the only animals that produce tears in response to emotions, and
most people say a good cry makes them feel better. Many scientists,
therefore, believe that crying somehow helps us cope with emotional
situations. Tear researcher, Winifred, is trying to figure out how it
happens. One possibility he says is that tears discharge certain
chemicals from your body, chemicals that build up during stress. When
people talk about crying it out, “I think that might actually be what
they are doing”, he says. If Fred is right, what do
you think will happen to people who restrain their tears? Boys, for
example, cry only about a quarter as often as girls once they reach
teenage years, and we all cry a lot less now than we did as babies.
Could it possibly be that we face less stress? Maybe we found another
ways to deal with it, or maybe we just feel embarrassed.
Questions 14-17 are based on the passage you have just heard.
14. What’s the topic discussed in this passage?
15. What is Winifred trying to find out?
16. What does the passage say about teenage boys and girls?
17. What’s the difference between human beings and other animals
when shedding tears?
Passage three
Imaging this: you wake up each morning to find your sister lying
beside you, to get dressed and tie your shoes, you use one hand and she
uses another. You do everything out together, too, even sitting on the
same chair at lunch and riding on the same bicycle. That’s what life is
like for six-year-old Betty
and Abby. Like most twins, the two girls look very much alike, but
unlike most twins, Betty and Abby share parts of the same body. Twins
like Betty and Abby are rare. Only about 40 sets are born in the United
States each year. Few survive as long as Betty and Abby. That’s because
twins often share vital organs, like a
heart or brain. The shared organs are often badly shaped and may not
be strong enough to support both twins. But Betty and Abby each has her
own head, heart and stomach which function normally. Because she has
three or four lungs which provide plenty of oxygen for both twins. Most
of their completely shared organs lie below the waist. Betty And Abby
live relatively normal lives. They attend a regular school, and each
does her own school work. They prefer to do some projects together,
though, for example, to cut out paper dolls, one twin holds the paper,
while the other uses the scissors. But sometimes, the girls don’t want
to do the same thing, for example, sometimes they want to play with
different toys. What do they do then? “We
toss a coin”, says Abby.
Questions 18-20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
18. In what aspect, do Betty and Abby differ from most twins?
19. What does the passage tell us about twins who share parts of the
same body?
20. What does the passage say about the education of the twin girls?

Passage 1
Nilrikman and others of the halfway research group have done some
research into the differences between average and good negotiators. They
found negotiators with the good trait record and studied them in action.
They compared them with another group of average negotiators and found
that there was no difference in the time that the two groups spent on
planning their strategy. However, there were some significant
differences on other points. The average negotiators thought in terms of
the present, but the good negotiators took a long-time review. They made
lots of suggestions and considered twice the number of the alternatives.
The average negotiators set their objectives as single points. We hope
to get two dollars, for example. The good negotiators set their
objectives in terms of range, which they might formulate as “We hope to
get
two dollars, but if we get one dollar and fifty, it will be all
right.”. The average negotiators tried to persuade by giving lots of
reasons. They use a lot of different arguments. The good negotiators
didn’t
give many reasons. They just repeated the same ones. They also did
more summarizing and reviewing, checking they were understood correctly.
11. What do good negotiators and average negotiators have in common?
12. According to the speaker, what would good negotiators do?
13. According to the speaker, what does the average negotiator
usually do?
Passage 2
To most of us sharks are the most dangerous fish in the sea and they
attack humans. However, according to Doctor Clark, who has studied the
behavior of sharks for twelve years, humans are not normally on the
shark’s menu. What do sharks feed on, mainly fish and other sea animals?
Doctor Clark also found that sharks don’t eat as much food as people
think. For instance, a nine-year-old shark only needs two pound of food
a day to keep healthy. But she says, sharks sometimes starve and at
other times they fill themselves with what they have killed. Around the
world, there are only about one hundred shark attacks on humans each
year, ten of which proved fatal. But consider this, in the US alone,
about three million people are bitten by dogs each year. Of these,
thirty people die. If sharks bite you, says Doctor Clark, the reason is
usually because it mistakes you for natural food. For example, say you
went underwater-fishing and saw a shark, you could be in trouble. The
shark might go for the injured fish you had attacked and take a bite of
you at the same time. If you go into a shark’s territory and threaten
it, it might try to bite you. That’s because sharks are territorial and
tend to guard their territory. Like dogs, they protect the area they
think is their own.
17
14. What does the passage say about the eating behavior of sharks?
15. When might a shark attach humans?
16. What do we learn from the passage about sharks?
Passage 3
Science fiction writers have often imagined humans going to live on
the Mars. But these days, scientists are taking the idea seriously. It
has a great deal to recommend it, since it might solve the problem of
overcrowding on the earth. But obviously, it would not be worth making
the effort unless people could live there naturally. If the atmosphere
were like that of the earth, this might be possible. But in fact it is
mostly carbon dioxide. Apart from that, there are other problems to be
overcome. For example, the temperature would have to be raised from 6
degrees below zero to 15 degrees above it. Scientists who study Mars
have laid down the program that they can follow. To begin with, they
will have to find out whether life has ever existed on the planet of
Mars in the past. Secondly they will have to make a reliable map of its
surface. And finally, they will have to make a list of the gases. Above
all, they will have to discover how much nitrogen it possesses. Since
nitrogen is four fifths of the air we breathe, they are surprising
optimistic about raising the temperature on Mars and believe it could be
down in hundred years. It will take a bit longer, though, to transform
the atmosphere so that human beings could live there. Scientists
estimate this will take one hundred thousand years.
17. Why are scientists interested in Mars?
18. What is the one of the things that must be done if a man can
live on Mars?
19. Why do scientist want to find out whether there is sufficient
nitrogen on Mars? 20. What is the prospect of people living on Mars?

Section B
Passage One
Jane Brown, has been married for 12 years, she has three children
and lives in a suburb outside Columbus Ohio. When her youngest child
reached school age, Jane decided to go back to work. She felt that she
should contribute to the household finances. Her salary could make the
difference between the financial struggle and a secure financial
situation for her family. Jane also felt bored and frustrated in her
role as a home maker and wanted to be more involved in life outside her
home. Jane was worried about the children’s adjustment to this new
situation, but she arranged for them to go stay with a woman nearby
after school each afternoon. They seemed to be happy with the
arrangement. The problem seemed to be between Jane and her husband Bill.
When Jane was at home all day, she was able to clean the house, go
grocery shopping, wash the clothes, take care of the children and cook
the two or three meals each day. She was very busy, of course, but she
succeeded in getting everything done. Now these same things need to be
done, but Jane has only evenings and early mornings to do them. Both
Jane and Bill are tired when they arrived at home at six p.m. Bill is
accustomed to sitting down and reading the paper or watching
TV until the dinner is ready. This is exactly what Jane feels like
doing, but someone has to fix the dinner, and Bill expects it to be Jane.
Jane is becoming very angry at B ill’s attitude. She feels that they
should share the household jobs. But Bill feels that everything should
be the same as it was before when back to work.
11. Why did Jane want to go back to work?
12. How did Jane spend her days before she went back to work?
13. What problem arose when Jane went back to work?
14. What does the story try to tell us?
Passage Two
The decade for natural disaster reduction is a programme designed to
reduce the impact of natural disasters throughout the world. With the
support from the UN, countries will be encouraged to share information
about disaster reduction, for instance, information about how to plan
for and cope with hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters.
One of the most important things the programme plans to do is to remind
us of what we can do to protect ourselves. For example, we can pack a
suitcase with flashlights, a radio, food, drinking water and some tools.
This safety case may help us survive disaster until help arrives.
Besides, the programmes will encourage governments to establish building
standards, emergency response plan and training plans. These measures
can help to limit the destruction by natural disasters. The
comparatively mild-effects of the northern California earthquake in 1989,
are good evidence that we do have the technology to prevent vast
destruction. The recent disasters, on the other hand, prove that people
will suffer if we don’t use that technology. When a highway collapsed
in northern California,
people were killed in their cars. The highway was not built
according to stricter standards to resist earthquakes. Individuals and
governments have to be far-sighted. We should take extra time and spend
extra money to build disaster safety into our lives. Although such
programme can’t hold back the winds or stop earthquakes, they can save
people’s lives and homes.
15. What is the purpose of the programme mentioned in this passage?
16. What can we learn from the northern California earthquake in
1989?
17. Why did the highway in northern California collapse?
Passage Three
Living at the foot of one of the most active volcanoes might not
appeal to you at all. But believe it or not, the area surrounding Mount
Etna in Italy is packed with people. In fact, it is the most
21
densely-populated region on the whole island of Sicily. The reason
is that rich volcanic soil makes the
land fantastic for farming. By growing and selling a variety of
crops, local people earn a good living.
For them, the economic benefit they reap surpasses the risk of dying
or losing property in one of volcanoes
frequent eruptions. People everywhere make decisions about risky
situations this way, that is, by comparing
the risks and the benefits. According to the experts, the size of
the risks depends on both its probability
and seriousness. Let’s take Mount Etna for example, it does erupt
frequently
, but thousands of the eruptions are usually minor, so the overall
risk for people living nearby is
relatively small. But suppose Mount Etna erupted every day, or
imagine that each eruption there killed
thousands of people, if that were the case, the risk would be much
larger. Indeed, the risk would be too
large for many people to live with and they would have to move away.
18. How do people make decisions about risky situations?
19. What do we know about Mount Etna from the passage?
20. What will people living near Mount Etna do in the face of its
eruptions?

Q: What is the man doing?
Section B
Passage One
There are some serious problems in the Biramichi river. The local
chamber of commerce, which represents
the industry in the area, hired me as a consultant to do a one year
study on fishing in the Biramichi river
and write a rep ort for them. This is my report:
One of the major problems in the Biramichi river is that the level
of oxygen in the water is too low.
Several chemicals have displaced the oxygen. This chemical pollution
has two sources: the factories which
24
dump polluted water directly into the river and the local community
which dumps untreated human wastes into the river. The local town
government has already spent 2 million dollars on waste water treatment
projects, but it will cost another 27 million to complete the projects.
It will take at least 15 years for the town to collect enough revenue
from taxes to complete these projects. The factories here employ 17,000
people in an area where there is very little alternative employment. It
is not economically practical to close or relocate the factories. Also
the factories cannot afford to finance chemical treatment plants by
themselves. Another problem is that the members of the Biramichi fishing
cooperative are overfishing. Fishes are caught when they are on the way
upstream to lay eggs. Consequently, not enough fish are left to
reproduce in large number. The members of cooperative say that they had
already reduced their annual catch by 50 percent. However, my studies
indicate that they took fewer fish because there were fewer fish to
catch, not because they were trying to preserve fishes.
Passage Two
Everybody has to die someday, but nobody likes to think about it.
Even so, at sometime in their lives, most people manage to think about
the question of how to make a will. If you have already made yours, it
is probably just a few pages of writing, stating that you wish to leave
everything to your family. That is the kind of will that the majority of
people make. However, there are plenty of ways to make your will more
interesting if you want to. To begin with, you don’t have to write it
on paper. One man wrote his
will on an envelope, another on the door, and a third on an egg. For
some people, the most important part of their will is the part that says
how they want to be buried. Mrs. Sandra West, a rich widow from Texas,
decided that she wanted to be buried with her favorite car. In 1973, Mr.
Green, a dentist from England, left most of his money to the nurse who
worked for him if in 5 years she would not wear any kind of make-up or
jewel or go out with men. Finally, let’s hope that your will is not
like that of Dr. Wagner, who lived
in America 100 years ago. His family, who had not been to see him
for years, suddenly began to visit him when he became ill. What was
worse, each person suggested to Dr. Wagner that they would like
something to remember him by when he died. Greatly annoyed with them, Dr.
Wagner wrote a will that would do this: to each of his four brothers, he
left one of his legs or arms, his nephew got his nose and his two nieces
each got an ear. His teeth went to his cousin. Then he set aside 1,000
dollars to pay for cutting his body and the rest of his money he left to
the poor.
Passage Three
In recent years, there has been an unusually large number of
divorces in the United States. In the past, when two people married each
other, they intended to stay together for life. While today, many people
marry believing that they can always get it divorce if the marriage does
not work out. In the past, a large majority of the Americans frowned at
the idea of divorce. Furthermore, many people believed that getting a
divorce was a luxury that only the rich could afford. Indeed, getting a
divorce was very expensive. However, since so many people have began to
take a more casual view of marriage, it is interesting to know that the
cost of get ting a divorce is lower. In fact, wherever you go in the
United States today, it is not unusual to see newspaper ads that provide
information on how and where to get a cheap divorce. Hollywood has
always been known as the divorce capital of the world. The divorce rate
among the movie stars is so high that it is difficult to know who is
married to whom. Today many movie stars change husbands and wives as
though they were changing clothes. Until marriage again become the
serious and important part of people’s lives,
we will probably continue to see a high rate of divorce.

Section B
Passage One
A few months ago, millions of people in London heard alarms all over
the town. The Emergency services, the Fire Departments, the Police,
hospitals, and ambulances stood by, ready to go into action. In railway
underground stations, people read notices and maps which told them where
to go and what to do in the emergency. This was Exercise Flood Call, to
prepare people for a flood emergency. London wasn’t flooded yet, but it
is possible that it would be. In 1236 and in 1663, London was badly
flooded. In 1928, people living in Westminster, the heart of London,
drowned in floods. And in 1953, one hundred people, living on the
eastern edge of the London suburbs were killed, again, in the floods. At
last, Greater London Council took actions to prevent this disaster from
happening again. Though a flood wall was built in the 1960s, Londoners
still must be prepared for the possible disaster. If it happens, 50
underground stations will be under water. Electricity, gas and phone
services will be out of action. Roads will be drowned. It will be
impossible to cross any of the bridges between north and south London.
Imagine: London will look like the famous Italian city, Venice. But this
Exercise Flood Call didn’t cause panic among Londoners. Most people
knew it was
just a warning. One lady said, “It’s a flood warning, isn’t it?
The water doesn’t look high to me.”
Passage Two
America’s national symbol, the bald eagle, almost went extinct
twenty years ago, but it has made a comeback. In fact, the U.S. Fish and
Wild Life Service is considering the possibility of taking it off the
Endangered Species List. Once, more than fifty hundred pairs of bald
eagles nested across the country, but by 1960 that number had fallen
below four hundred. The chief killer was the widely used DDT. Fish,
soaked up DDT, died, and were washed up on shores, where bald eagles
feasted on them. DDT prevented eagle egg shells from thickening. The
shells became so thin that they shattered before the babies hatched.
Fortunately, in 1972, a law was passed to ban DDT, which saved the bald
eagle from total wipeout. And since then wild life biologists had
reintroduced bald eagles from Canada to America. The result was that
last year U.S. bird watchers counted eleven thousand six hundred and ten
bald eagles in the country. If it were dropped from the Endangered
Species List, the bald eagle would still be a threatened species. That
means the bird would continue to get the same protection. No hunting
allowed, and no disturbing of nests. But bald eagles still face tough
times. The destruction of their natural homes could be the next DDT
causing eagle numbers to drop quickly.
Passage Three
If the earth gets hotter in the new century, what will happen to
animals and the plants which animals depend on for survival? The
question offers another way of looking at the “Greenhouse Effect”.
People have talked about the general problem of “Global Warming” for
some time. But they were usually worried about things like whether to
buy a home on the coast. Biologists and other scientists turn their
attention to plants and animals at an important meeting that took place
last October. They were reviewed evidence that plants and animals are
sensitive to climate. Since the Ice Age ended ten thousand years ago and
warmer temperatures returned to the northern latitudes, many species
have migrated north. If the predictions about the Greenhouse are correct,
temperatures will rise by the same amount in the next one hundred years
as they did in the past ten thousand. Will animals and plants be able to
adapt that quickly to change in the environment? Many won’t. Certain
species will probably become very rare. Experts say plants under climate
stress will
29
be very open to disease and fire. Forest fires may become more
common. That, in turn, man harm animals that

Section B
Passage One
33
Graffiti is drawing or writing often found in a wall in public
places. These drawings and writings are usually rude, humorous, or
political. The words Graffiti” comes from an Italian word meaning
address. Graffiti provides a record of the past because people have
written on walls for centuries. Cave drawings are the earliest examples
we have of the art of graffiti.
Writing on walls is a way to comment on the world we live in.
Women’s liberation groups in Britain, for example, have used graffiti
to show their anger at the sex discrimination of many advertisements
where women’s bodies are used to sell goods.
Yesterday’s graffiti can be today’s foreign attraction. When the
Berlin wall ca me down in 1989, people found that it was covered with
graffiti from all over the world. Graves of famous people, like rock-
star Jim Morrison, are covered with written messages from fans.
Graffiti is also a popular art form. Graffiti pictures have gained
respect in artistic circles. Today, graffiti is likely to be found
hanging inside modern, New York apartments as well as in the downtown
streets. In New York, graffiti pictures have been sold for hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Graffiti artists have been paid to use their art
to brighten up dull environments.
But graffiti can bring us trouble. Scenes of natural beauty and
important landmarks have been spoiled by mindless graffiti. The London
underground authority has spent about 2 million pounds a year on
removing graffiti for trains and stations. If you are caught doing it,
you can be sent to person. In Britain, the maxim um sentence for this
type of crime is ten years.
Whether you think graffiti is mindless violence against property, or
a living art form, its popularity suggests that it is here to stay.
Passage Two
The Asian elephant is one of the world’s rarest animal.
Unfortunately, its sad condition has not been as well publicized as that
of the African elephant. This is because Asian elephant’s ivory
supplies only a small percentage of the world ivory trade. In fact, we
know very little about the Asian elephant. They live in the remote
forests of southern Asia and it is therefore very difficult to study
them. Most knowledge of Asian elephants is from those that have been
captured, or tamed. Asian elephants are easier to tame than African
elephants. The elephants you see in the circuses and zoos are nearly
always Asian.
The major reason for the decline of Asian elephants is the harm to
their forests. The huge increase in the human population has caused the
destruction of the Asian forest for human population. As a result, the
Asian elephants are compelled to scatter in different areas. Originally
they lived all over the continent, but now there are only small isolated
populations left. These isolated elephant populations are vulnerable to
extinction.
While Asian elephants are threatened by illegal capture and
detaining, they are also killed for ivory and skin. In July 1990, a
British wildlife group uncovered a black market for elephant skin.
Elephants are shot in the forest along the border between Thailand and
Burma, and their skin was sold to factories in Bangkok. T heir skin is
made into shoes, belts, suitcases, wallets, etc, to sell to tourists.
Passage Three
After the early period of settlements, the first sharp increase in
immigration took place in the 1830’s
and 1840’s. This brought to America flocks of people from northern
Europe who lost employment in the Industrial Revolution, and then a
great number of Irish people who fled from famine. German political
refugees arrived shortly after. Many immigrants from northern and
western Europe settled on farms in the Middle- west. The Irish became
construction laborers on roads, bridges, and railroads.
In the 1880’s, a tremendous flood of immigrants began coming in,
this time largely from southern and eastern Europe. To most Americans,
these newcomers seemed far more strange than the early settlers. Their
languages, customs, and ways of life were very different from those of
Americans. The newcomers moved into the poorest neighborhood of the
large cities. They tended to stay together and cling to their old ways.
As they were accustomed to poverty, they were willing to work for very
low wages. This made other workers, especially those in labor unions,
afraid that the immigrants with the lower wage level would take jobs
away from them. Indeed, organized labor became one of the key opponents
of continued immigration.
This opposition finally lead to the posting of immigration law in
the 1920’s, which restricted further immigration. In 1965, these unfair
laws were replaced by a new immigration act, which granted equal
34
opportunities to foreigners, regardless of their place of origin.
Asians, like Koreans and Vietnamese, soon
began to arrive. Many of these newcomers have worked very hard to
establish themselves in their new land.
17. Why did northern European people come to settle down in the
United States?
18. What did the labor unions worry about?
19. What was the purpose of the immigration law passed in the
1920’s?
20. What do we know from the passage about Asian immigrants?

Section A
1. M: Did you see Martha just now? I want to ask her to go with us
to the concert tonight.
W: She must be around somewhere. You might still be able to catch
her.
Q: What does the woman mean?
2. M: I can’t bare the air pollution in this city anymore. It is
getting worse and worse.
W: You said it. We’ve never had so many factories before.
Q: What does the man mean?
3. M: Just think I went through so much work on my paper only to get
a C.
W: Well, I don’t think grades are everything. What you have learned
in the process will prove useful
in your future work.
Q: What does the woman imply?
4. M: My brother is coming this weekend, and I was thinking the
three of us could go out to dinner Saturday
night. Any suggestions?
W: It’s up to you. I don’t know the restaurant here that well.
Q: What does the woman mean?
5. M: I couldn’t have won the award without your assistance. Thank
you very much.
M: You have been working so hard. You deserve the honor.
Q: What do we learned from the conversation?
6. M: I’d like to sign up for some voluntary work with the
environment council. I hear it is a great way
to connect with the community.
W: It sure is. But you’ll have to put in a lot of hours. So you
must leave some room in scheduling
your time.
Q: What does the woman imply?
