Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

He was a
funny
looking
man with
a cheerful
face,
good
natured and a
great
talker. He
was described by
his student,
the
great philosopher Plato, as
“
the best
and
most
just and
wisest
man.
”

Y
et, the same
man
was condemned to death
for
his belief.
The
man was the
great philosopher, Socrates, and
he was condemned
for
not
believing
in
the
recognized
gods
and
for
corrupting
young
people.
The

charge
stemmed
from
his
association
with
numerous
young
men
who
came
to
Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.
Socrates
’

method of teaching
was
to ask questions and, by pretending
not to
know
the
answers,
to
press
his
students
into
thinking
for
themselves.
His
teachings had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of
philosophy
.
Y
et,
for
all
his
fame
and
influence,
Socrates
himself
never
wrote
a
word.
Socrates
encouraged
new
ideas and
free thinking
in the
young, and
this
was
frightening
to
the
conservative
people.
They
wanted
him
silenced.
Y
et,
many
were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.
Socrates
had
the
right
to ask
for
lesser penalty
,
and
he probably could
have
won over enough of the people who had previously condemned him. But Socrates,
as
affirm
believer
in
law,
reasoned
that
it
was
proper
to
submit
to
the
death
sentence. So,
he calmly accepted
his
fate and drank a cup of poison
hemlock
in
the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
Influenza
has
been
with
us
a
long,
long
time.
According
to
some
Greek
writers
on
medical
history
,
the
outbreak
of
412
BC
was
of
influenza.
The
same
has been suggested of
the sickness that swept through the
Greek army attacking
Syracuse
in
395
BC.
Flu
is
a
disease
that
moves
more
quickly
among
people
living in crowded conditions, so it is likely to attack armies.

During
the
nineteenth
century
there
were
five
widespread
outbreaks
of
influenza. The
last of the
five
happened
in 1889 and
marked the beginning
of
the
story of influenza in our time. Like the present outbreak, it started in Asia.

For
more
than
forty
years
before
that
outbreak,
influenza
had
steadily
decreased
and
was
believed
to
be
dying
out.
A
new
group
of
outbreaks
was
introduced
by
the
great
outbreak
of
1889-1890
and
for
the
next
quarter
of
a
century flu remained a constant threat.
In April
1918,
flu broke out among American
troops
stationed
（驻扎）

in
France. It quickly spread
through all the armies but caused relatively
few deaths.
Four months later, however, a second outbreak started which proved to be a killer.
It killed
not only the old and already sick but also
healthy
young adults. It went
through
every
country
in
the
world,
only
a
few
distant
islands
in
the
South
Atlantic
and
the
Pacific
remaining
untouched.
It
brought
the
life
of
whole
countries
to
a
stop;
food
supplies
stopped
and
the
work
loss
was
very
great.
Before the great outbreak ended, it had killed at least 15 million people.
Medical science
is still
not certain what
hit
us
in 1918. The
influenza
virus
（病毒）

was
not
found
until 1933,
so all
that
today can be said about the 1918
outbreak was the kind of antibodies
（抗体）
it produced.
The 1918 outbreak
was
never controlled. It simply burned
itself after taking
a great
number of
human
lives.
Before
man could
have done
much
to
lessen
the
effect of such an outbreak,
he
would
have
had to
find
the
influenza
virus
so that
vaccine
（疫苗）
could
be
develop.
It
would
also
help
to
have
an
international
reporting
system
so
that
countries
threatened
with
the
disease
could
prepare
to
defend themselves.
The
first
big
advance
was
made
in
1933,
when
a
team
of
British
doctors
found the type A influenza virus. In 1940 a doctor of the United States found type
B.
Later
type
C
was
found,
along
with
many
sub-groups
of
types
A
and
B.
V
accines were prepared and
used
widely by the armies during
the Second World

War to prevent outbreaks.
The
flu
virus
proved
trickier
than
most.
A
vaccine
good
against
one
type
gave
no
protection
against
another.
Indeed
type
A
virus
changes
its
nature
so
quickly
that
a
perfectly
good
vaccine
may
lose
its
value
because
of
the
change.
This
increases the
need
for the speedy discovery of
flu outbreaks, so
that stocks
of
the
right
vaccine
can
be
prepared
quickly
after
an
outbreak.
Starting
such
a
warning system is one of the first things done by the World Health Organization.

keeping people from living near each other

10.
Which of the following is TRUE?

[A]
The 1918 outbreak of influenza had never been controlled until 1933.


[B]
Human
beings
have
suffered
from
influenza
for
more
than
2,000
years.

[C]
Doctors and scientists succeeded in preventing the 1918 outbreak from
killing more people by setting up an international reporting system.

[D]
One of the
reasons why the 1918 outbreak
was
so difficult
to control
was that it had spread too far and wide.

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

A
castle
was
the
fortress
and
home
of
a
king
and
queen,
or
nobleman.
It
offered excellent protection to the person who owned it. A castle helped its owner
defend the land on which it stood. It also served as a house for the owner
’
s family
and many servants.
Most
of
the
castles
we
think
of
today
were
built
in
Europe.
They
were
constructed
from
about
AD
1000
to
about
1500,
during
a
period
known
as
the
Middle Ages.
Castles
played
an
important
role
in
a
system
called
feudalism(
封建主义
).
That
system arose
in
Europe after
the
fall of the
Roman Empire. In
feudalism, a
king
gave
land
to
nobles.
In
return,
the
nobles
promised
to
serve
the
king
and
provide him with soldiers.
Nobles built castles on the lands given to them by the king. But some nobles
simply
claimed
land
as
their
own
and
built
a
castle
on
it.
That
was
asking
for
trouble.
There were
many power struggles between
nobles and kings, and among
the nobles themselves. If one wanted protect himself, he need a good castle.
A typical
stone castle
had several
main parts.
At the center of the castle was
a tall and
very strong building called
the keep. This
is
where people
in the castle
made
their
last
stand
if
the
outer
defenses
failed.
Many
stone
castles
were
surrounded
by
a
wide
ditch
called
a
moat(
城壕
).
Some
moats
were
filled
with
water,
but
many
were
not.
The
only
way
into
the
castle
was
across
a
wooden
drawbridge over the moat.
A
well-built castle was a pretty safe place
to be. Attackers
had a
hard
time
getting
in.
They
had
four
main
options.
They
could
go
over
the
walls
using
ladders. They could smash
through
the
walls. Or they
could dig
under the walls
and
try
to
get part of one to
fall down.
If
none of those things
failed,
they could
just camp outside until the defenders ran out of food.


11.
Which of the following is not true about the castle?

[A]
It
’
s a home of a king, queen or a nobleman.

[B]
It can protect the owner well.

[C]
It houses the owner, his family and servants.

[D]
Most castles were built in America.
12.

[A]
A period between 1000 and 1500 AD in Europe.


[B]
A period between 1000 and 1500 AD in America.

[C]
A period between 1000 and 1500 BC in Europe.

Text D
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:


“
Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it
’
s a girl.
”

Fatherhood
is
going to
have a different
meaning and bring
forth a different
response
from
every
man
who
hears
these
words.
Some
feel
pride
when
they
receive the news, while others worry
, wondering whether they will be good father.
Although there are some
men who
like children and
may
have
had considerable
experience with them, others do not particularly care
for children and spend
little
time
with
them.
Many
fathers
and
mothers
have
been
planning
and
looking
forward to children
for some time. For other couples, pregnancy
was as accident
that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child,
it
is obvious that the shift
from
the
role
of
husband
to
that
of
father
is
a
difficult
task.
Y
et,
unfortunately
,
few
attempts
have
been
made
to
educate
fathers
in
this
resocialization
process.
Although
numerous
books
have
been
written
about
American
mothers,
only
recently has literature focused on the role of a father.
It
is argued by some
writers
that the
transition to
the
father
’
s role, although
difficult,
is
not
nearly
as
great
as
the
transition
the
wife
must
make
to
the
mother
’
s
role.
The
mother
’
s
role
seems
to
require
a
complete
transformation
in
daily routine and highly innovative adaptation, on the other hand, the father
’
s role

is
less demanding and
immediate.
However, even
though we
mentioned the
fact
that
growing
numbers of
women are working outside the
home, the
father
is still
thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.

18.
In the second paragraph, the author_______.

[A]

fathers
for
not
taking
enough
responsibilities
in
bringing
their children

[B]
excuses
the
American
writers
for
ignoring
the
difficulties
of
being
a
father

[C]
supports the idea that the chief role of a father is to earn money for the
family

[D]
complains
about
the
lack
of
social
programs

husbands
adjust
themselves to being a father

’
s role requires that the wife_______.

to
