Part

Reading Comprehension
(40
minutes)
Section A
Directions:
In this section,
there is a passage with ten blanks. You are
required to select one word for each blank from a
list
of choices given in a word bank
following the passage. Read the passage through
carefully before making your choices.
Each choice in the bank is identified
by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter
for each item on
Answer Sheet
2
with a single line through
the centre. You may not use any of the words in
the bank more than once.
Questions 26 to 35 are based on the
following passage.
Scientists scanning
and mapping the Giza pyramids say
they
’
ve discovered
that Great Pyramid of Giza
is not exactly
even. But really not by
much. This pyramid is the oldest of the
world
’
s Seven Wonders. The
pyramid
’
s exact size has
26
experts for centuries, as
the
“
more than 21 acres of
hard, white casing stones
“
that originally covered it
were
27
long
ago. Reporting in the most recent issue
of the newsletter
“
AERAGRAM,
”
which
28
the work or the Ancient Egypt
Research Associates, engineer Glen Dash
says his team used a new measuring approach that
involved finding any surviving
29
, of the casing in order to determine
where the original edge was. They found the east
side of the pyramid to be a
30
of 5.5 inches shorter than the west
side.
The
question
that
most
31
him,
however,
isn
’
t
how
the
Egyptians
who
designed
and
built
the
pyramid
got
it
wrong
4,500 years age, but how they got it so close to
32
.
“
We can only
speculate as to how the Egyptians could have
laid
out
these
lines
with
such
33
using
only
the
tools
they
had,
”
Dash
writes.
He
says
his
34
is
that
the
Egyptians laid out their design on a
grid, noting that the great pyramid is oriented
only
35
away from the
cardinal
directions(its
north-south
axis
runs
3
minutes
54
seconds
west
of
due
north,
while
its
east-
west
axis
runs
3
minutes
51
seconds north of due
east)

Peer Pressure Has a Positive Side
A.
Parents
of
teenagers
often
view
their
children‘s
friends
with
something
like
suspicion
.
They
worry
that
the
adolescent peer group
has the power to push its members into behavior
that is foolish and even dangerous. Such wariness
is
well founded: statistics show, for
example, that a teenage driver with a same-age
passenger in the car is at higher risk of a
fatal crash than an adolescent driving
alone or with an adult.
