Despite bacteria’s presence in all parts of the planet,
their diversity in the world’s soils is poorly
understood. To better understand what makes the
organisms thrive, Duke University researchers
trekked far and wide to collect a few centimetres of
dirt as samples from 98 locations across North and
South America, then analyzed each sample for
genetic variation. To their surprise, the strongest
predictor of high diversity was neutral pH. The acidic
soil of the Peruvian Amazon, for example, harboured
far fewer bacterial species than did the neutral dirt of
the arid American Southwest. “There are a lot of
variables that didn’t turn out to be very important,
”says the researcher Robert Jackson, who adds that a
more complete search for different habitats might
turn up other stimulators of diversity, such as carbon
abundance.
43. According to the passage, scientists were
surprised that ----..
A) they had to trek to so many different areas to
conduct their research into bacterial species
diversity
B) carbon abundance was revealed to be the most
important predictor of diversity of bacterial
species
C) bacteria is present in all parts of the planet
D) the arid American Southwest is home to many
more species of bacteria than the lush Peruvian
Amazon
E) they would have to perform more complete
research in the future
44. It is understood from the passage that
further research must be carried out ----..
A) because the previous research was not
conducted properly
B) in order to find other indicators of diversity in
bacterial species
C) so that all the bacterial species of North and
South America can be identified
D) to determine exactly the genetic variations of
bacterial species
E) so that scientists can increase the diversity of
bacterial species
45. The passage points out that the best
conditions for diversity of bacteria species -
---..
A) so far seem to exist in soil having a neutral pH
B) were found in the Peruvian Amazon region
C) have not yet been discovered
D) have now been fully researched
E) are found in a few centimetres of dirt
46. It is clear from the passage that the
researchers from Duke University ----..
A) do not plan to do any more research into
bacterial diversity
B) were more interested in the American
Southwest than in the Amazon basin
C) have largely focused on the types of bacteria
found in acidic soil
D) have carried out their fieldwork to throw light
upon the causes of bacterial diversity
E) had difficulty in trekking during their search

In 1786 Sir William Jones, a British judge serving in
India, made a discovery that transformed knowledge
about prehistory and began the formal study of
historical linguistics. Turning his spare time towards
the study of Sanskrit, the ancient language from
which the predominant languages of the South Asian
subcontinent derive, Jones discovered that Sanskrit
shares features of grammar and vocabulary with Latin
and ancient Greek to an extent inexplicable by sheer
coincidence. His interest further aroused, he then
examined the early Germanic language called'Gothic',
the ancient Celtic languages of Europe, and Old
Persian, and found that they, too, exhibited marked
similarities to Sanskrit. He concluded that all these
languages must have evolved from a common but
now-extinct linguistic source. In the early nineteenth
century, both this ancient language and the later
languages that derived from it, were labelled' Indo-
European, ' reflecting their wide distribution from
India and Ireland.
47. One can conclude from the passage that
Gothic----..
A) originally derived from Latin and had the same
grammatical features
B) had no relationship whatsoever with Sanskrit
and other languages
C) was an old language which was spoken
throughout Europe, including Ireland
D) was the only language in which Sir William
Jones took a special interest
E) was the language spoken by early Germanic
peoples
48. It is pointed out in the passage that Sanskrit
----..
A) is the only language which is widely spoken
among the peoples of South Asia
B) and other Indo-European languages are closely
related with each other
C) was first studied by Sir William Jones in the
eighteenth century
D) was the most ancient language from which
Latin and Greek have evolved
E) has a grammatical structure which is entirely
different from that of Old Persian
49. As one understands from the passage, Sir
William Jones ----..
A) made fundamental changes in the judicial
system of eighteenth-century India
B) was a professional linguist and spent his time
in India by the study of Sanskrit
C) rejected the view that the European Celtic
languages derived from a common source
D) studied Sanskrit only when he was free from his
judicial responsibilities
E) was very interested in the prehistory of India
and made several discoveries
50. According to the passage, the beginnings of
historical linguistics ----..
A) were marked by the discovery in the
eighteenth century that the languages of the
South Asian subcontinent had evolved from
Sanskrit
B) can be dated back to the early nineteenth
century when the term “Indo-European” was
introduced
C) are traced back to the work of Sir William Jones
in the eighteenth century
D) have always been controversial, since Sir
William Jones’s theory about the Indo-European
languages was based on a false assumption
E) were confined only to Jones’s study of Sanskrit
and did not include his study of the other Indo-
European languages

During the economic depression that affected the
whole Western world in the 1930s, with its mass
unemployment, poverty and other social ills,
governments, for the most part, did nothing. The
accepted wisdom was that, given time, the free
market would solve its own problems and that
government interference would only make things
worse. John Maynard Keynes, the British economist
who challenged this belief, argued that it was the
proper responsibility of governments to prevent both
booms and recessions in order to maintain gradual
economic growth and permanent full employment. He
maintained that this could be done by manipulating
taxation, credit and public expenditure. If the
economy was growing too fast, then money and,
therefore, demand could be taken out of the economy
by higher taxes, lower government spending and by
making it harder to borrow money. If there was
recession and growing unemployment, then the
government could put money into the economy
through lower taxes, higher public expenditure and
easier credit. Thus, demand could be encouraged. If,
as a result, there was money in people’s pockets,
then more would be spent on goods and more people
would be needed to make the goods to fulfil the extra
demand, and this would reduce unemployment.
51. According to the Keynesian argument
summarized in the passage, in order to bring
down unemployment, ----..
A) new economic policies would be formulated by
the government, so that demand could be
curbed
B) governments would follow a policy of
nonintervention in the economy and allow the
problem to be solved through the free market
C) the government had to make new loans
available for businesses at very high interest
rates
D) the government would prefer to increase
taxation, so that people would spend less
E) one of several measures to be introduced by
the government would be to encourage an
increase in public spending
52. As is clear from the passage, Keynes ----..
A) differed little from his contemporaries in his
economic theories
B) had much trust in the free market, which he
believed had a positive impact on the economy
of the 1930s
C) did not think that the economic depression of
the 1930s was serious enough to justify
government interference
D) firmly believed that government intervention in
the management of the economy could be
necessary
E) argued that economic prosperity should not be
the prime aim of any government
53. It is pointed out in the passage that, due to
the economic depression in the West in the
1930s, ----..
A) most governments curbed public expenditure
and changed their system of taxation
B) there was unemployment on a very large scale
C) the increasing demand for goods had to be
prevented through harsh economic policies
D) many governments introduced a series of
measures to solve social problems
E) it was almost impossible for people to borrow
money
54. As it is stated in the passage, in the 1930s, -
---..
A) all governments in the West carefully followed
the economic policies proposed by Keynes
B) permanent full employment was achieved
through an efficient implementation of free
market policies
C) governments generally felt that the free market
was the only way of solving the problems of the
depression
D) despite high unemployment, people had so
much money that the demand for goods could
not be controlled
E) the British government gave Keynes full
responsibility to improve the economy

The most common view among scientists is that
mathematics and physics are quite different. Physics
describes the universe and depends on experiment
and observation. The particular laws that govern our
universe, such as Newton’s laws of motion, must be
determined empirically and then asserted like axioms
that cannot be logically proved, merely
verified.Mathematics, on the other hand, is some how
independent of the universe. Results and theorems,
such as the properties of the integers and real
numbers, do not depend in any way on the particular
nature of reality in which we find
ourselves.Mathematical truths would be true in any
universe.
55. It is suggested in the passage that, unlike
mathematics, physics ----..
A) makes much use of logic in order to reach a
conclusion
B) formulates laws that need not be verified by
experimentation
C) has undergone much development since
Newton’s time
D) is essentially concerned with the world of
matter
E) states facts about the universe that are taken
for granted
56. We understand from the passage that, for
most scientists, ----..
A) logical reasoning is as essential as experiment
and observation in any scientific study
B) mathematics and physics are the two fields of
science which have similar scientific concerns
and are, hence, interdependent
C) mathematics, like physics, is also indispensable
for a scientific study of the universe
D) the Newtonian laws have completely altered
man’s perception of the universe
E) physics is essentially empirical, whereas
mathematics is not
57. As pointed out in the passage, the idea that
mathematics and physics differ from each
other ----..
A) has often been queried and debated since
Newton
B) is accepted by most scientists
C) has only recently been accepted by the
scientific community
D) is evidence of a prevailing prejudice among
mathematicians and physicists
E) was originally put forward by Newton after he
formulated his laws of motion
58. It is clear from the passage that any
information physics reveals about our
universe cannot be valid ----..
A) as it is impossible for every scientist to agree to
it
B) so long as it is not explained mathematically
C) since it is not always proved logically
D) unless it is confirmed through experiment and
observation
E) because the methods used for verification are
often controversial

In an attempt to settle the question of whether ice
exists on the moon, NASA plans to launch the Lunar
Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) in 2008. Travelling in a
polar orbit only 50 kilometres above the moon’s
surface, the probe will focus a high-resolution neutron
sensor on the suspected ice deposits to determine
their precise locations. But because the ice is
probably buried and mixed with lunar dirt, NASA will
also need to land a probe to dig up and analyze soil
samples. This mission, scheduled for 2011, is a
challenging one because instruments operating in
shadowed areas cannot use solar power. The craft
could land at a sunlit site and send a battery-powered
vehicle into a dark crater, but the batteries would
quickly die. A radioisotope thermal generator could
provide electricity using heat from plutonium decay,
but NASA is leaning against this option because it is
expensive and controversial.Another idea under
consideration is sending a probe that could hop from
place to place on the lunar surface by restarting its
landing rockets, lifting the craft to 100 metres above
its original landing site and moving it to another spot
in the crater basin to hunt for ice. Investigating more
than one site is crucial because the ice may be
unevenly distributed. Yet another alternative would
be to fire ground penetrating instruments at several
places in the shadowed basin, either from a lander at
the crater’s rim or from an orbiting craft.
59. It is clear from the passage that ----..
A) firing ground-penetrating instruments at the
moon could upset the balance of its surface
B) there are several options for producing a probe
that could work in the shadowed areas of the
moon
C) NASA will use plutonium decay to provide
power for its newest landing probe
D) the spacecraft that NASA wants to send to the
moon will probably never actually be
manufactured
E) NASA plans only to send a probe to orbit the
moon, not to land on it
60. We understand from the passage that, as
part of an effort to prove the existence of ice
on the moon, NASA ----..
A) will make no use of high-resolution radio
telescopes
B) is currently observing the moon from Earth
C) is planning to send one spacecraft to orbit the
moon and another to land there
D) is going to send a landing craft that will rely
solely on solar power
E) has already sent a spacecraft there to take
pictures
61. It is pointed out in the passage that, since
there may be more ice on one part of the
moon’s surface than on another, ----..
A) a battery-powered vehicle is an essential part
of the probe
B) facilities which will examine the ice must be
built near larger ice patches
C) the search there for ice is expensive and
controversial
D) it is essential to test for ice in several different
areas
E) it will not be possible to use the ice for future
space exploration
62. We see from the passage that the main
problem of landing a probe on the moon to
test for ice in shadowed areas is ----..
A) that the public is not interested in the project
B) the hard, rocky surface of the moon
C) lack of government funding for the project
D) the extremely cold temperatures the probe
would have to work in
E) that it would not be able to use solar power

63. Mary : Recently I have been reading Jean-
Jacques Rousseau‘s political treatise The
Social Contract, published in 1762. In his
political views, he was certainly more radical

64. Winston : What does the term ―global village
really mean? Stanley : Oh, well, it is
essentially related to the global flow of
information. Winston : ---- Stanley : Alright, I
will try. Beginning in the 1990s, increasingly

with each other across continents in new
cultural and political settings, and this has
had a great impact on the everyday lives of
men and women around the world..

advances in electronic technologies have
provided new worldwide platforms and

minorities have found worldwide audiences
through on-line campaign sites?
E) What does that exactly mean? Can you be
more specific?
65. Philip : I see that you are reading Homer‘s
great epic The Iliad? By the way, have you
ever heard about Heinrich Schliemann?
Edward : Yes, I have. He was an amateur
German archaeologist, who lived in the
nineteenth century.
Philip : ----
Edward : How come? I wonder what details in
The Iliad must have led him to such a
discovery..
A) As an amateur archaeologist, many of
Schliemann‘s perceptions of Bronze Age
Greece were mistaken and superficial.
B) What else? Let me tell you the most intriguing
thing about him. By using The Iliad as his
guide, he found the site of Troy near the coast
of northwest Anatolia.
C) Since the ancient Greeks treasured many
legends about their heroic and distant past,
Homer‘s epics appealed to them a great deal.

up but this is having an adverse effect on the
health of the people. Sandra: - Yes. I've read
that article. Sad, isn't it? Kevin: - ---- Sandra:

house. But it’s not really the best time for

72. Like many other activities, global health has
fashions. ---- Recently, though, the focus has
shifted to malaria. This tropical disease kills
a million people a year, most of them
children, and debilitates hundreds of millions
more. That is why researchers are racing
against one another to be the first to devise
an effective vaccine..

17. 74. Like language, music is a uniquely human
activity. Although music is often spoken of as
a kind of language, it is certainly not within
the same space of possibilities as natural
human languages. Music communicates
something, perhaps emotional states. It is
sometimes symbolic; for instance, when the
Wedding Marchis played to symbolize
weddings. ---- Therefore, it seems
appropriate to treat music as a form of
communication, but not as a language in the
technical sense..
A) That is why composers aim at aesthetic
pleasure while they compose their music.
B) The right hemisphere of the brain is involved in
musical perception and in experienced
musicians the left hemisphere is also involved.

combine.
E) This shows that musical ability is largely based
on auditory and rhythmic processing.

face the political consequences of an angry
population..
A) In Africa, foreign aid goes mostly to those
governments that have mismanaged their

79. (I) The relationship between genes and
proteins was first proposed in 1909 when
English physician A. Garrod suggested that
genes dictate phenotypes through enzymes,
the proteins that catalyze chemical processes
in the cell. (II) The idea came from his
observations of inherited diseases. (III) He
hypothesized that an inherited disease
reflects a body’s inability to manufacture a
particular enzyme, and he referred to such
diseases as “inborn errors of metabolism”.
