Part II Cloze Test (20 minutes, 10 points, 1 point each)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer
from the choices given below. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by
drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the
brackets.
It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands
of everyday perceptions, the bases __21__ the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and
skills are to be __22__ in our past experience, which are brought into the present __23__ memory.
Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep __24__ available for later use. It includes not
only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also any change in the way an
animal typically behaves. Memory is __25__ when a rat gives up eating grain because he has
sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-ole child
learns to swing a baseball bat.
3
Memory __26__ not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and
machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting
to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer __27__ that of a human being. The
instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100 000 "words"--ready for __28__
use. An average American teenager probably recognizes the meanings of about 100 000 words of
English. However, this is but a fraction of the total __29__ of information which the teenager has
stored. Consider, for example, the number of facts and places that the teenager can recognize on
sight. The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.
A large part of a person's memory is in terms of words and __30__ of words.
21. A. of B. to C. for D. on
22. A. keep B. found C. sought D. stored
23. A. by B. from C. with D. in
24. A. experiences B. bases C. observations D. information
25. A. called B. taken C. involved D. included
26. A. exists B. appears C. affects D. seems
27. A. to B. with C. against D. for
28. A. progressive B. instructive C. instant D. protective
29. A. deal B. number C. mount D. amount
30. A. combinations B. connections C. co-ordinations D. collections
Part III Reading Comprehension (60 minutes, 40 points)
Section A (30 points, 1.5 points each)
Directions: In this part there are four passages followed by questions or
unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers. Choose the one
you think is the best answer and mark your choice on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Questions 31-35 are based on the following passage:
All along the chain of biological evolution, the extinction of species appears to have been a
stage in the process of adapting genetic lineages to changing environmental conditions. Although
some catastrophic extinction occurred naturally, producing total loss of a genetic line, such
catastrophes were comparatively rare. In modern times, however, human activities have altered the
fundamental nature of this process, resulting in nearly total genetic losses.
It is not difficult to gain general agreement that man-induced increases in the endangerment
and extinction of wildlife-whether due to habitat alteration or loss, pollution, insufficiently
regulated hunting, or other factors -are undesirable. It is, however, more difficult to obtain
consensus when consideration is given to the economic costs of correcting such trends, including
natural habitat preservation, regulation of pesticides and other toxic substances, and wildlife and
park management. Endangered species often are, in effect, competitors with humans for habitat
and other resources which also provide other kinds of human uses and needs.
Measures needed to protect endangered species vary considerably in difficulty and cost. Of
the approximately 400 invertebrate species which at present appear to be threatened, for example,
about one-third could probably be restored by such inexpensive means as modifying the
boundaries of designated natural areas, acquiring and protecting caves and other small areas which
contain the particular species, and additional management of parks and refuges.
