of
the
choices
given
below
would
best
complete
the
passage if inserted in the

each blank on your answer sheet.
The
“
standard of
living
”
of any
country means the average person's
share
of
the
goods
and
services
the
country
produces.
A
country's
standard of living, ____31_______,
depends first and 32 on its capacity
to
produce wealth.
“
Wealth
”
in this sense is not
money, for we do not
live on money 33
on things that money can buy:
“
< br>goods
”
such as
food
and clothing, and
“
services
”
such as transport and
“
__34 __
”
.
A
country's
capacity
to
produce
wealth
depends
upon
many
factors,
most of 35 have an
effect on one another. Wealth depends
36 a great
extent upon a
country's natural resources. Some regions of the
world are
well
supplied
with
coal
and
minerals,
and
have
a
fertile
soil
and
a
37
climate; other regions
possess none of them.
Next
to
natural
resources
38
the
ability
to
turn
them
to
use.
China
is
perhaps
as well 39 as the USA in natural resources, but
suffered for many
years from
civil
and
40
wars,
and
41
this
and
other
reasons was
42
to
develop her resources. 43 and stable
political conditions, and 44 _____
from
foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its
natural resources
peacefully
and
steadily,
and
to
produce
more
wealth
than
another
country equally well
45 by nature but less well ordered.
A country's standard of living does not
only depend upon the wealth that
is
produced
and
consumed
46
it
own
borders,
but
also
upon
what
is
indirectly
produced
through
international
trade.
47
Britain's
wealth
in
foodstuffs and other agricultural
products would be much less if she had
to depend only on 48 _ grown at home.
Trade makes it possible for her
surplus
manufactured
goods
to
be
traded
abroad
for
the
agricultural
products
that
would
49
be
lacking.
A
country
’
s
wealth
is,
therefore,
much influenced
by its manufacturing capacity, 50 that other
countries
can be found ready to accept
its manufactures.

TEXT A
All Sir William Jones
wanted to do was to learn Sanskrit. While he was
studying, however, he made a surprising
discovery. This ancient language
of
India was amazingly similar to Latin and Greek.
The Sanskrit word for
—
matar
—
was
almost
identical
to
the
Latin
word,
mater.
“
Father
”
was pitar in Sanskrit, pater in Latin
and Greek. The more he
studied, the
more similarities he found.
How
could
this
be?
Thousands
of
miles
and
many
natural
barriers
separated India and Europe. Still,
Jones concluded, the similarities were
too
strong
to
be
accidental.
In
1786,
he
announced
“
No
one
could
examine
them
all
three,
without
believing
them
to
have
sprung
from
some
common source.
”
Since
then,
scholars
have
traced
many
languages
to
this
“
common
source.
”
Today,
these
languages
are
called
the
Indo-
European
family.
But
where
did
this
source
originate?
Language
and
geography
provide
the
clues.
European
languages
have
similar
words
for
the
animals
and
trees
of northern Europe, such as oak, willow, bear, and
wolf. There are
no common words for the
animals and trees of southern Europe.
To
scholars,
this
suggests
that
the
Indo-European
languages
began
in
north
central Europe. In time, some northern Europeans
set out toward
the east, settling in
Iran, India, and Pakistan. Others migrated
westward
toward southern and western
Europe. The root language developed into
dozens of different languages, but the
family resemblances remain. The
word
for
“
three
”
is drei in German, tres in
Spanish, tre in Albanian, and
tri in
Russian.
Almost every
language in Europe is part of the Indo-European
family, but
there
are
exceptions.
Hungarian
and
Finnish
cling
to
other
language
families. High in the Pyrenees, the
Basque people speak a language that
has
no
known
relatives.
Perhaps
the
Basques
were
the
original
inhabitants
of
the
region.
Isolated
by
mountains,
they
may
have
been
bypassed by the spread of Indo-European
culture.
81. What did Sir
William Jones discover when he was learning
Sanskrit?
A. Sanskrit was
very similar to some European languages.
B. Sanskrit was an ancient
language.
C. The Sanskrit
word for mother is the same as that in Latin.
D. Latin and Greek were
very similar.
82.
Which
of
the
following
statements
is
true
about
common
source
A. Jones
found out the common source.
B. All languages sprang from the common
source.
C. Only three
languages sprang from the common source.
D.
Since
1786,
scholars
have
traced
many
languages
to
the
common
source.
83. Where did the common source
originate?
A. In southern
Europe. B. In north-central Europe.
C. In India. D. in Pakistan.
84. What can be concluded
from the passage?
