Section Tllree: Reading Comprehension
Directions: Read the passages and choose the one best answer, (1) , (2). (3) or (4), for each question.
Passage 1
Men seem to have always taken an interest in meteorites, but not until the early nineteenth century were these objects considered worth reserving for scientific study. In the beginning, people believed that because meteorites fell from the heavens, they were either gods themselves or messengers from the gods. Thus the more civilized of early men carefully kept the meteorites, draping them in costly linens and anointing them with oil. In many instances, the people built special temples in which the meteorites were to be worshiped. Meteorite worship was common long ago in the Mediterranean area, and in Africa, India, Japan, and Mexico; such worship still persists in some regions.
Although many people held meteorites in reverence, particularly if they were seen to fall, other practical-minded individuals made good use of the durable and easilyworked alloy provided by nature in the nickel-iron meteorites. They frequently used this metal to make tools, pots, and other utensils. Throughout history, meteoritic iron has been used in the manufacture of special swords, daggers, and knives for members of royalty. Attila and other early conquerors of Europe boasted of "swords from heaven." As I ate as the end of the nineteenth century, several swords were made from a Japanese iron meteorite at the command of a member of the Japanese court.
66- From the passage, we may assume that in the beginning meteorites were.....................•
67- Meteorite worship was..................... .
68- It can be implied from the passage that .................
69- The best title for this passage is................. .
Passage 2
The accuracy of scientific observations and calculations is always at the mercy of the scientist's time keeping methods. For this reason, scientists are interested in devices that give promise of more precise time keeping. In their search for precision, scientists have turned to atomic clocks that depend on various vibrating atoms and molecules to supply their "ticking." This is possible because each kind of atom or molecule has its own characteristic rate of vibration. The nitrogen atom in ammonia, for example, vibrates or "ticks" 24 billion times a second.
One such atomic clock is so accurate that it will probably lose no more than a second in 3000 years. It will be of great importance in fields such as astronomical observation and long range navigation. The heart of this Atornichran is a cesium atom that vibrates 9.2 billion times a second when heated to the temperature of boiling water. An atomic clock that operates with an ammonia molecule may be used to check the accuracy of predictions based on Einstein's relativity theories, according to which a clock in motion and a clock at rest should keep time differently. Placed in an orbiting satellite moving at a speed of 18,000 miles an hour, the clock could broadcast its time readings to a ground station, where they would be compared with the readings on a similar model. Whatever differences develop would be checked against the differences predicted.
70- From the passage, we understand that temperature changes................ .
71- It can be inferred from the passage that................. .
72- The word "which" in the third paragraph refers to......................

Passage 3
Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street comer and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it. Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another one may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with her four children. For perception is the mind's interpretation of what the senses in this case our eyes - tell us. Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive tota11y different things about the same scene.
74- Seeing and perceiving are................... .
75- It can be inferred from the passage that perception is..................... .
76- It can be inferred from the passage that.................. .
77- The best title for this passage is................... .
Passage 4
Leaming used to be simple. You went to school and then to col1ege or university. You learnt most of what you needed before the age of 21. Then you got a job for life or you stayed at home with the children. In recent years, society and technology have developed rapidly. As our world keeps changing, we need to keep learning, at home and in the work place. Leaming just never stops! Janice Eagles, 29, has worked for an international drinks company for three years. She enjoys her work and says, 'I've learnt so much in this job - more than I learnt at university! I've done a time management course and learnt to use two new computer systems. I've even had free Spanish lessons because I sometimes travel with my job'. And it's not just people of working age who are learning for life. 73-year-old Russell Leach has been retired for 8 years. He used to be a busy engineer, and now has a lot of spare time. He spends a lot of it studying at the U3A - the University of the Third Age. This isn't actually a university, but an international learmng organization for people who no longer work. U3A groups offer courses such as computing science, art, history, and languages to older people. There are no exams, so people who follow these 19 courses don't get qualification. They are just for people's interests and personal development. It's never too late to learn 'the U2A's web site says. It seems that for all of us, those words have never been truer.
78- According to the passage, learning 'never stops' because people .....................
79- Janice studied time management at................... .
80- Janice studied Spanish for..................... .
81- How was Russell's life different before he retired?
82- What does 'they' in the last paragraph refer to?
Passage 5
Despite our complex language skills, natural skills, and other natural means of communication such as body language, the face is still our primary means of identifying people, making contact, and checking if they are trustworthy. Our faces are so complex in appearance that we can spot a friend or a foe in a crowd. Indeed, our ability to recognize faces quickly in a11 sorts of conditions is arguably our most important and remarkable visual skiH. Mothers can distinguish between identical twins, and classmates can recognize each other decades after they left school. Thanks to its very elastic skin, animated by a complex musculature capable of an enormous range of intricate movements, the human face can quickly move from anger to laughter, guilt, to innocence, deep hurt to joyfulness, or from abstraction to intense concentration. We can read or misread faces, making judgments about them based on our experience, without anything being said. This ability is the result of prolonged evolution-beginning with the head or skull.
83- Our ability to recognize faces is because of our.............. .
84- Which of the following abilities is NOT mentioned in paragraph l?
85- Quickly moving from one feeling to another in our face is because of its skin................. .
