Find and correct them (5pts) In the last twenty years, the country has made great technological progress, culminating in our entering the space age earlier that year with the launch of our first telecommunication satellite. From a health perspective, there has been a major modern programme in public hospitals. This has involved the purchase of the latest scanning and diagnosis equipment, as well as the refurbishment of major operating theatres with state-ofthe-art surgical equipment. As far as the superstructure of the country is concerned, several major projects are on progress, included the construction of three major motorways, a hydroelectric power station and a new international airport. All of these public works are being carried out using the latest technology. With the increasing use of computer technology, the future of our country looks very bright indeed. It anticipates that, in the very near future, all government offices will be computered and networked to central mainframe computers in the capital.

2. Read the passage and answer the questions which follow by choosing the best answer. (10pts) Even with his diverse experience as an elected official at the state level, Andrew Johnson was the first president of the United States ever to be impeached, primarily because of his violent temper and unyielding stubbornness. His career started in 1828 with his collection to the city council of Greenville, Tennessee, and after two years as an alderman, he took office as mayor. His advancements followed in rapid succession when he was elected to the Tennessee state senate, then as the state governor, and later to the U.S. House of Representatives for five consecutive terms. In 1864, Johnson ran for the office of vice-president on the Lincoln- Johnson ticket and was inaugurated in 1865. After Lincolns assassination six weeks into his term, Johnson found himself president at a time when southern leaders were concerned about their forced alliance with the northern states and feared retaliation for their support of the secession. Instead, however, with the diplomatic skill he had learned from Lincoln, Johnson offered full pardon to almost all Confederates on the condition that they take an oath of allegiance. He further reorganized the former Confederate states and set up legislative elections. Congressional opposition to his peace- making policies resulted in gridlock between the House and Johnson, and the stalemate grew into an open conflict on the issue of the emancipation of slaves. While Johnson held the view that newly freed slaves lacked understanding and knowledge of civil liberties to vote intelligently, Congress overrode Johnsons veto of the Civil Rights Bill, which awarded them citizenship and ratified the Fourteenth Amendment. In the years that followed, Congress passed bills depriving the president of the power to pardon political criminals, stripping away his status of commander-in-chief, and taking away Johnsons right to dismiss civil and executive officers from their duties. Johnson vetoed each bill, and each veto was overridden. When Johnson dismissed the secretary of war, Edwin Stanton, Stanton refused to step down and

was supported by the House of Representatives, which voted to impeach Johnson. At the trial, the Senate came one vote short of the two-thirds majority necessary to remove him from office. After Johnsons term expired, he returned to his home state, but in 1875 he was elected senator and went back to Washington to take his seat. 1. What does the passage mainly discuss? A.

3. Read the following passage and do the exercises (8pts) HOW DOES THE BIOLOGICAL CLOCL TICK? Our life span is restricted. Everyone accepts this as biologically obvious. Nothing lives for ever! However, in this statement we think of artificially produced, technical objects, products which are subjected to natural wear and tear during use. This leads to the result that at some time or other the object stops working and is unusable (death in the biological sense). But are the wear and the tear and loss of function of technical objects and the death of living organisms really similar or comparable? Our dead products are static, closed systems. It is always the basic material which constitutes the object and which, in the natural course of things, is worn down and becomes older. Ageing in this case must occur according to the laws of physical chemistry and of thermodynamics. Although the same law holds for a living organism, the result of this law is not inexorable in the same way. At least as long as a biological system has the ability to renew itself it could actually become older without ageing; an organism is an open, dynamic system through which new material continuously flows. Destruction of old material and formation of new material are thus in permanent dynamic equilibrium. The material of which the organism is formed changes continuously. Thus our bodies continuously exchange old substance for new, just like a spring which more or less maintains its form and movement, but in which the water molecules are always different. Thus ageing and death should not be seen as inevitable, particular as the organism possesses many mechanisms for repair. It is not, in principle, necessary for a biological system to age and die. Nevertheless, a restricted life span, ageing, and then death are basic characteristics of life. The reason for this is easy to recognize: in nature, the existent organisms either adapt or are regularly replaced by new types. Because of changes in the genetic material (mutations) these have new characteristics and in the course of their individual lives they are tested for optimal or better adaptation to the environmental conditions. Immortality would disturb this system it needs room for new and better life. This is the basic problem of evolution. Every organism has a life span which is highly characteristic. There are striking differences in life span between different species, but within one species the parameter is relatively constant. For example, the average duration of human life has hardly changed in thousands of years. Although more and more people attain an advanced age as result of developments in medical care and better nutrition, the characteristic upper limit for most remains 80 years. A further argument against the simple wear and tear theory is the observation that the time within which organisms age lies between a few days (even a few hours for unicellular organisms) and several thousand years, as with mammoth trees. If a life span is a genetically determined biological characteristic, it is logically necessary to propose the existence of an internal clock, which in some way measures and controls the ageing process and which finally determines death as the last step in a fixed programme.
8

Like the life span, the metabolic rate has for different organisms ad fixed mathematical relationship to the body mass. In comparison to the life span this relationship is inverted: the larger the organism the lower its metabolic rate. Again this relationship is valid not only for birds, but also, similarly on average within the systematic unit, for all other organisms (plants, animals, unicellular organisms). Animals which behave frugally with energy become particularly old, for example, crocodiles and tortoises. Parrots and birds of prey are often held chained up. Thus they are not able to experience life and show they attain a high life span in captivity. Animals which save energy by hibernation and lethargy (e.g. bats or hedgehogs) live much longer than those which are always active. The metabolic rate of mice can be reduced by a very low consumption of food (hunger diet). They then may live twice as long as their well fed comrades. Women become distinctly (about ten percent) older than men. If you examine the metabolic rate of the two sexes, you establish that the higher male metabolic rate roughly accounts for the lower male life span. That means that they live life energetically more intensively, but not for as long. It follows the above that sparing use of energy reserves should tend to extend life. Extreme high performance sports may lead to optimal cardiovascular performance, but they quite certainly do not prolong life. Relaxation lowers metabolic rate, as does adequate sleep and in general an equable and balanced personality. Each of us can develop his or her own energy saving programme with a little self-observation, critical self-control and, above all, logical consistency. Experience will show that to live in this way not only increases the life span but is also very healthy. This final aspect should not be forgotten. Question 1-5 Do the following statements agree with the views of the writer in Reading Passage 3? Yes if the statement agrees with the views of the writer No if the statement contradicts the views of the writer Not given if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about this 1. The wear and tear theory applies to both artificial objects and biological systems. 2. In principle, it is possible for a biological system to become older without ageing. 3.

4. You are going to read an article about the power of nature. Eight sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A- H the one which fits each gap (1- 7). There is one extra sentence which do you do not need to use.(7pts) GONE WITH THE WIND As hurricane- force winds hit Britains coasts, John Leavey takes a look at the amazing power of nature. Now that human race has made great technological and scientific progress and is about to clone whatever or whowever it wants, it is very easy to forget about the forces of nature, 1..Although the images of destruction which we have seen on our television screens are horrific, they are, in fact, just the tip of the iceberg compared to what nature can really do. Tornadoes, which are the fastest and most violent winds on the earth, can reach speeds of over 200 kph. 2Roofs of houses, cars, animals, buses and people have been lifted into the air in this way. Those people whose lives have been put at risk by twisters have described how helpless they felt in the face of such power. A tornado is violently spinning column of air that can start to form during a thunderstorm, of which there are about 45.000 a day worldwide. Of course, not all thunderstorms bring about tornadoes and not all tornadoes bring about total destruction. The most destructive ones occur in India, Bangladesh and Tornado Alley in the USA. The worst ever twister hit this area in March 1925, when a huge tornado travelled across Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, killing 695 people and injuring a further 2,027. 3.. A blizzard is another natural phenomenon which affects North America. It is a deadly mixture of wind, snow and freezing temperatures. 4..Muscle and internal organs then fail to work when body temperature falls below 30 0C. In the USA, blizzards are quite common, with winds travelling at up to 65 kph. It is believed that global warming, which is causing ice caps to melt, will be the cause of more blizzards in the future. Even Britain may experience blizzards as violent as the one which hit New York, Washington, Boston and Philadelphia in January, 1996. These cities became completely paralysed when snow up to 78 cm deep and weighing a total of five billion tons covered an area 800 km long. 5 Apart from causing death and injury directly, tornadoes and blizzards can also cause floods. Naturally, floods are usually caused by heavy rainfall, but whichever way they are created, they can be very destructive. The most dangerous and dramatic ones are known as flash floods. In June 1976, hot air blew north from the Gulf of Mexico, bringing huge thunderstorms to the Big Thomson Gorge, where they released 25 cm of rain in six hours. All the mountains streams filled up and met at the Big Thomson Gorge. 6.The water then flowed through the canyon, removing everything in its path, killing 139 people and causing damage worth $36 million. Other floods on record have developed more slowly but have been equally destructive. 7.If we choose to ignore it and believe we are the supreme rulers of the planet, we may be in for a big surprise. Remember, lighting can strike twice in the same place. A. Anything in their path can be picked up off the ground and dropped hundreds of meters away.
10

B. Scientists who explore the Antarctic have learnt a great deal about the earths weather systems. C. Of these, the wind is the most life- threatening part because it removes the heat from its victims bodies. D. This week, however, we have been reminded of what nature can do as hurricane winds continue to cause chaos across the south coast. E. Wherever we look, we can witness the power of nature in action. F. As a result, emergency services could not operate properly, however hard they tried, and more than 300 people died in the safety of those cities. G. Here, the water level rose from two to seven meters within minutes. H. It moved along the ground for an incredible 352 km, bringing total destruction wherever it went.
