Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:

　　Although no one is certain why migration occurs, there are several theories. One theory claims that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit in spite of the disappearance of glaciers.

　　Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.

　　A more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands (腺) in the birds' bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.

　　11. According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds______.
　　A．stopped migrating
　　B．continued migrating
　　C．stayed in the north
　　D．migrated south and stayed there

　　12. The author states that birds left the tropics because______.
　　A．there was not enough food there in the winter
　　B．there were too many birds
　　C．there were too many glaciers
　　D．there was too much daylight

　　13. Why did one scientist expose birds to artificial daylight?
　　A．To test the relationship between daylight and a disease of the glands common to birds
　　B．To test the relationship between daylight and migration
　　C．To test the relationship between migration and temperature
　　D．To test the relationship between daylight and changes in the season

　　14. According to the theory of photo-periodism, ______.
　　A．birds should migrate in the middle of the winter
　　B．longer days cause changes in the bodies of birds
　　C．seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migration
　　D．increasing daylight increases the distance of migration

　　15. This passage supports the belief that______.
　　A．exact reasons for migration are not known
　　B．birds migrate because of changes in temperature
　　C．the ancestral home of all birds was the tropics
　　D．glaciers caused birds to migrate

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:

　　In Guangzhou, capital of South China' s Guangdong Province, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport resumed its international flights to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations and regions early this month, said an airport official yesterday. And the airport' s flow of international passengers for July has reached 80 per cent of the figure for the corresponding month of the previous year.

　　Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport had to cancel some international services to southeast Asian countries and regions because of the outbreak of SARS beginning in April, the official said. The official predicted his airport' s international service would return to normal operation and handle even more international passengers in August.

　　Currently, the Guangzhou airport is operating 22 international flights to 20 foreign metropolises. And nine foreign airlines have resumed their international flights to the airport.

Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:

　　It is curious how often sympathy for the old and infirm takes a form which actually humiliates them. Their friends, with good will, sometimes lean forward to rearrange their neckwear, touching their hair or patting their faces—things they would never presume to do, unasked, to one of their contemporaries. An equally humiliating habit is to talk about old people in front of them as if they were not there, discussing their health.

　　It is now universally accepted that children should be encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves in order to develop their brains and muscles, but so few people today seem to have time to allow the elderly the same means of keeping their minds and muscles active. They perform innumerable services for the old that they would be much better left to do, even with a struggle, for themselves.

　　Convenient flats, "motherly" visitors, or organized entertainments cannot make up for the fundamental need which must be satisfied—the need to retain to the end of life human dignity and the respect of one' s fellows.

　　21. Many people are not aware that it is rather rude to______.
　　A．talk casually about old people in front of them as if they were not there
　　B．show sympathy for the old
　　C．take care of the old when they are not ill
　　D．pat the faces of the contemporaries

　　22. According to the passage the old would very much like to______.
　　A．live alone
　　B．live in comfortable and well-ran homes
　　C．be treated as adults instead of babies
　　D．get unselfish help from their friends and relatives

　　23. The author suggests that______.
　　A．much sympathy will inevitably humiliate the old
　　B．kindness and unselfish help are not necessarily what the old need
　　C．the old should be left to do whatever they want by themselves
　　D．to the old, the friends' and relatives' respect is, at least, as important as their concern

　　24. If the old are left to do as much as they can for themselves, ______.
　　A．they may keep human dignity and enjoy the respect of the fellows
　　B．they won't feel hurt or humiliated
　　C．they will be able to develop their brains and muscles
　　D．they will be able to keep their minds and muscles active

　　25. The passage is mainly about that______.
　　A．improper care and concern may do more harm than good to the old
　　B．how to take good care of the old in different ways
　　C．nowadays many people are not respectful enough to the old
　　D．old people are just like children, who are difficult to satisfy

Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:

　　Wind, wave and tides all suffer from the fact that they are variable sources of power output. For example, there will be times when due to windless days or calm seas—and both can occur for periods of several days even in the winter time—they are producing little or no power.

　　Insofar as this shortfall has to be made up by electricity from conventional power stations, these newer energy sources would not necessarily reduce the installed capacity of such conventional stations needed to meet the total demand on windless or calm days. What the newer sources will do is to save fuel that would otherwise be burned in conventional power stations.

　　Pumped storage reservoirs could in principle be used to counter this effect, but there is not enough additional reservoir capacity available. We therefore face the same type of storage problem as in solar energy. Thus, unless some new method of energy storage can be developed or we move to the widespread use of a fuel like hydrogen, the wind and wave schemes will be at an economic disadvantage.

　　26. The power produced by the waves, tide and wind______.
　　A．is not as consistent as it should be
　　B．is generally less in winter than in summer
　　C．is never likely to be very great
　　D．is consistent

　　27. Alternative sources of energy______.
　　A．could not possibly reduce the installed capacity of conventional power stations
　　B．might not reduce the installed capacity of conventional power stations
　　C．would automatically reduce the installed capacity of conventional power stations
　　D．would make it necessary to reduce the installed capacity of conventional power stations

　　28. What, according to this passage, would be the major impact of the newer energy sources?
　　A．A reduction of the fuel consumed by conventional power stations
　　B．A reduction of the manpower required by conventional power stations
　　C．The total replacement of conventional power stations
　　D．The total replacement of conventional energy sources

　　29. The energy produced by the sun______.
　　A．is easy to store
　　B．poses similar problems to the other newer energy sources
　　C．poses very few problems
　　D．poses different problems from the other newer energy sources

　　30. Hydrogen______.
　　A．is a widely-used fuel
　　B．is not yet in general use as a fuel
　　C．is not a particularly easy fuel to store
　　D．is a more economical fuel than wind energy

A land free from destruction, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply—all these were important factors, in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution. -31- they were not enough. Something else was needed to start the industrial process. That " something special" was men— -32- individuals who could invent machines, find new sources of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society.

　　The men who -33- the machines of the Industrial Revolution came from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were -34- inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research -35- . He is not necessarily working so that his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is -36- trying to make something that has a concrete idea. He may try to solve a problem by using the theories -37- science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a specific result; the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of -38- other objectives.

　　Most of the people who developed the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had -39- or no training in science might not have made their inventions if a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years -40- .
