Altrma 3Sorular yantlayn.1.One of the commonest beliefs about reptiles concerns the existence of a "hoop snake". This reptile is supposed tograsp its tail in its mouth and roll along at terrific speed. Yet science declares no such creature exists. There is alsoa belief among cowboys and hunters that they can protect their camps by stretching horsehair ropes around them,

that the prickly hairs will repel any snakes - particularly rattlers. Actually, rattlers crawl over ropes as if they didn'texist. Like most nature "fables" there is a shred of truth here, but it has been stretched out of all proportion.

The earliest form of dueling was the clash of mounted knights armed with lances inmedieval tournaments. These duels were often purely sporting affairs in which specialnonlethal lances were used. They provided entertainment for the spectators and kept theknight in good condition for battle. In Elizabethan days, duels no longer took place onhorseback, and the lance was exchanged for a sword and dagger. The sword was held inthe right hand and used for attacking, while the dagger was held in the left hand and usedfor defence. Dueling with swords as a means to decide a point of honour became obsoletewith the invention of pistols. Pistols brought about a whole new set of rules and etiquette tothat form of duelling.

A duel is a battle between armies of knights on horseback. YThe knights used lances to fight their duels. DSpectators enjoyed watching knights kill other knights in tournaments. YFighting duels was a good way for knights to maintain their physical fitness. DIt became very dishonourable to duel with swords after the invention of pistols. Y

6.A single glove at the scene of a murder may provide valuable clues for the police. For one thing,the size and style may suggest the build of the criminal and his way of life; one glove may directthe search toward a large man accustomed to driving a truck, another may suggest a small, dapperman of the 'society' type. For another, the hairs on a glove when placed under a microscope mayprovide important information. If they match those of the victim, they may link the owner to thecrime. If not, they may give away the criminal's own hair colour or, perhaps, the fact that he hasbeen where there are farm animals. Finally, bits of hay, grains of soil, tiny metal fragments, andeven oily threads of cloth are often invaluable in indicating the kind of place where the murderer

lives or works.

The passage groups the valuable services of a single small object for the police under threemain topics.The size of a single glove may well provide the police with information about the building inwhich the murder has been committed.

The outlook for the expansion of the silk-producing business in the United States is not bright thereis no obvious reason why it should. In the first place, the silkworm requires hour-by-hour humancare, and Americans, by disposition, are not suited to the work. Again, there is a strong belief that

each country should specialise in those countries best suited to her geography and her culture.Why, then, should Americans attempt to build on a large industry which is well suited to Japan andto their South American neighbour, Brazil? And finally, nylon has proved superior to silk for manypurposes, and nylon is produced in the States in quantity.

1.When the world was young, the opportunity for inventing new words must have been unlimited.

Even then, however, the inventor's task was less than half accomplished when he had emitted thenew sound. Before he could regard his task as complete, he must induce his neighbours to use thesound as he had used it. Here we may draw on modern experience. The child playing in the sandinvents a word for the pebbles that fill his hand. The new words is "pocos". Does society adopt thisword because it has been duly invented? Not at all. Society has an expression of its own for the

2.One application of the use of radioactive materials of particular interest to westerners is the use ofradio cobalt to measure the depth of the snowpack in the Sierra Nevadas. For some years a groupof co-operating agencies has taken measurements of snow depths throughout the range in order todetermine the amount of run-off that will swell the rivers of the lowlands in spring and summer. Thisrequires laborious excursions on snowshoes and skis by snow surveyors. The radio cobaltinstallation now being tested at the Sierra Nevada Snow Laboratory may eliminate most of thisdrudgery. A tube of radio cobalt is placed at ground level and its radiations are picked up by adetector directly above it. As snow accumulates, the strength of the signal varies with the quantityof water stored in the pack. Theoretically, a network of these installations would make it possible tokeep track of the snow from one central station.

The Black-Tailed Deer inhabits the forests along the Pacific Coast of North America from southernAlaska to southern California. In summer it is covered by a short reddish coat which it sheds as theseason advances. The new coat, known as the 'blue coat', gradually lengthens and turns grey withthe approach of winter. Each year the deer sheds its antlers, dropping them off from the skull fromthe base of the horn. New antlers sprout in the early spring. They are covered at first with skin andfur known as 'velvet', but when they have attained full growth and have hardened, the animalpolishes away the 'velvet' against shrubs and trees. The common superstition that the number of

points on the antlers indicates the age of the deer is quite without foundation.This passage may have been taken from _____.A) a weekend magazineB) a natural park information service brochureC) a talk on the natural beauties of Alaska and its surrounding mountains

1.The search for ways of preserving foods is not new. Primitive man learned that he could makefoods last by drying them. The Indians, for example, hung buffalo and deer meat in the sun. Thegreatest single advance began in 1800 when a Frenchman, Nicolas Appert, discovered that hecould preserve certain foods by sealing them in jars and keeping the air from them. The processwas the beginning of the vast canning industry which brings us a variety of foods in all seasons.Pasteurising is another process which delays spoilage; it is of great importance to the dairyindustry. Foods like apricots, prunes, peaches, and apples are often preserved by drying. The useof chemicals is another method, and some foods are cooked with sugar. But recently the use offrozen food cabinets has grown tremendously and more foods than ever before are now beingprocessed by freezing.

Frozen food is likely to far exceed the use of other methods of preserving food. Drying is a method that used to be used until recently.

4.Big trees can be beautiful. But if they are planted in narrow areas they can lift sidewalks and breakcurbs. Expensive repairs to sewer systems often result when large trees spread their roots.Overhead they may disrupt electric, telephone, and fire-alarm signal lines.

heavy lidded man with broad shoulders and a slight stoop glanced at the table chart and took uphis position at the head of the room - it was Manetta, all conversation ceased - the lull before theservice. A thin trickle of clients started to arrive, to be greeted and whisked away to tables byescorting head-waiters, and the Grill slowly came to life. The room filled and the service rose to acrescendo. Everywhere there was great activity. In the kitchens below the service roared! Thebuffet was besieged by gesticulating waiters and overwhelmed with orders, a baffling bewildermentof many tongues: Italian, French, English and German. I was assigned to a sweet trolley by Jeanthe red-faced buffet chef and told to guard it with my life, check the orders and keep out of the way!I stood guarding my trolley until a waiter beckoned me to follow him and I was off.

F.My name is Police Constable Robinson, sir, driver of police car GKY 5431L. At 22.30 hours on thenight of November the sixth I was introduced by radio to proceed to Smith Street, a turning off theA40 Road, where the residents had complained of a disturbance caused by a car parked at theroadside. When I arrived I found the car, number HIM 9191K, parked with its rear lights on, itsheadlight at full beam, the offside warning lights operating, all its four doors open and boot-lidraised. After I parked the police car at a safe distance, I approached the car HIM 9191 and foundthe accused apparently asleep with his head and arms resting on the steering wheel and the hornand windscreen wipers operating. I succeeded in waking the accused, sat him upright in the drivingseat, cautioned him and proceeded to switch off the ignition, dip on headlights, cancel the ignitions,and to engage the handbrake. I noticed an empty bottle on the passenger seat. The bottle wasmarked Fine Old Malt Whisky; and a crate on the rear seat had a similar label. When I returned tothe accused I noticed he had gone off to sleep again. I therefore roused him, checked his driving-licence, insurance certificate and the road fund licence of the car in question. I then began tointerrogate him. The accused's replies were slurred but were to the affect that he was surprisedthat a policeman had managed to smuggle himself aboard the Concorde, and he asked how I hadbeen enjoying the flight so far. I assumed the accused had been drinking, helped him to alight fromthe vehicle and to stand against a nearby lamppost. I then explained I wanted him to breathe intothe breathalyser bag and asked him if he would agree to do so. He replied to the effect that hewould do so if I would do so, too. It was shortly afterwards when my sergeant found us sitting onthe kerb blowing up the breathalyser bags.

G.I am speaking to you tonight from Downing Street after a meeting with my colleagues of theCabinet. I thought I should explain the reasons for the course of action we have adopted withregard to the temporary pollution of areas in the South East of Britain. You will all have read orheard of the disagreement with our essentially wise and cautious policy to preserve our mostprecious asset, England's green and pleasant land. Your government has taken bold measures tocontain an explosive situation developed by extremists from the dissatisfied fringe of our society.Through deceit and falsehood these extremists have persuaded some of our fellow-countrymen totake part in mass-meetings, marches and other forms of protest against government measures. Ofcourse, a democracy thrives upon a variety of opinion and nobody should be afraid to air their

views. But a democracy also requires common sense and moderation, a recognition of duty toothers as well as personal rights and self-interest. Recently it was discovered that certain areasconstituted a public danger because of toxic substances in the air and soil. These substances weretraced to possible sources including neighbouring industries. Accordingly residents were re-housedand those areas closed so that a full inquiry could be made. There followed an unpardonable and

vicious campaign, mostly in the national press, exaggerating the small but understandablegrievances of the evacuees, and advocating the relocation of industries and of their wasteproducts.

H.You see, unlike most of the people on this programme, I don't think that television has contributedmuch to our lives; in fact it gives us by its own nature a wrong slant. Perhaps the cardinalweakness in its development arose from its concern with entertainment rather than withinformation. Pictures on the screen have been used more to affect than to instruct. Even the newsprogrammes set out to encourage more reaction and less reflection. Pictures shown briefly do notmake you think, they merely invite you to look for the sequel, the next picture. The more you seethe less you remember; you see too much to remember anything specific. It's the same withdocumentaries; they leave you with a feeling rather than stimulate you to take action. The processof viewing is passive and the result of viewing is passive, too. Also TV transmits vicarious feelings.I mean, you are persuaded to react to experiences which are unfamiliar to you in your everydaylife. And persuasion is an important word here because you are persuaded also to react in certainways and to a degree that will not disturb you or your expectations too much.

1. Television's weakness lies in ________________ .A) its emphasis on visual imagesB) its unnatural developmentC) its unrealistic presentationD) the fact that the news programmes are too reactionaryE) the pictures shown on the news.

2. The viewer is not stimulated to think because ____________ .A) he is not active enoughB) the programmes are merely affectiveC) the programmes are mainly news-basedD) there are too many documentariesE) he is persuaded to overreact to some experiences

3. Television is dangerous because it _________________ .A) transmits feeling indirectly

B) dissuades viewers from reactionsC) uses words wronglyD) makes people expect too muchE) entertains viewers too much

"A great mass of something" means a great amount. When factories started to manufacture greatnumbers of the goods the term "mass production" came into use. Mass production differs from theold methods of manufacture in many ways. In the old times, a workman often made the whole ofan article himself. He put into his work all his skill and experience. If the result of his labour wassatisfactory he was proud it; if not, he carried all the responsibility for any fault that appeared in his

work. Thus, there was a close relationship between the workman and his work, and in each articlewhich he produced, there was something of his personality. However, this method ofmanufacturing goods took a long time, and the goods were sold at a very high price. Those thatwere cheap enough for ordinary people were of low quality. Mass production is partly the result ofthe desire to produce high quality goods at a low price.

The great temple of Borobudur is a stepped pyramid of unmortared andesite and basalt volcanicstone, standing 403 feet square and 105 feet high. This holy place lay abandoned and forgotten formore than 800 years after a devastating earthquake and an eruption of one of the four surroundingvolcanoes caused its population to flee in 1006. Besides earthquakes and volcanoes, torrentialrains, encroaching tropical vegetation, and time have all taken their toll.It can be inferred from the passage that the temple of Borobudur is in ruins.

2.Characteristics of tropical rain forests are high and steady levels of heat and moisture, as well as awide variety of organisms. It is believed that two-thirds of all species live in tropics, and half ofthose live in the tropical rain forests. Nowhere else, except perhaps the tropical coral reefs, isnature so great in its diversity of organisms and complex in its biological interaction.It can be inferred from the passage that tropical coral reefs contain a wide variety of organisms.

Iceskaters performing daring jumps in flamboyant costumes have brought ballet to the ice rink.
