them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best
choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

CATV is a short way of saying “community antenna television”. But “ cable
television” is the term most people use. Cable television allows viewers to receive TV
programs that they cannot pick up with their regular antennas.

3
 Television signals do not follow the curve of the earth. They travel in straight lines in
all directions. Signals from a TV station moves toward the horizon and go into space. If
you live only a few miles from a TV station, you may get a good picture on your set. But if
you live more than 50 miles from it, you may not get any pictures at all.
CATV began in 1948. People in places far from TV stations shared the cost of putting up
high antennas. A community antenna was usually placed on a hill, a mountain or on a high
tower. The antenna picked up TV signals and fed them into a small local station. From the
station, thick wires called cable ran out to nearby homes. Each person using the cable paid
a monthly charge.
CATV worked well, and soon new uses were found for it. Local stations could feed
programs into empty channels that were not in use. People along the cable could have local
news, weather reports, and farm and school news at the local stations on extra charge.
Today, cable television has moved into cities. It brings in extra programs that city
viewers with regular antennas cannot see. It is also used in many classrooms throughout the
country.

31. This passage is about___________.

A) how to put up high antennas
B) a way of picking up better TV programs
C) how to use the empty channels on your TV set
D) the way that TV signals are set
32. From the first paragraph we know that ____________.
A) most people use cable television
B) “community antenna” is another name for “ regular antenna”
C) a community antenna is used for cable television
D) regular antennas cannot pick up TV programs
33. Which of the following is NOT the way TV signals travel?
A) In a curve.
B) In a straight line.
C) In all directions.
D) Toward the horizon.
34.Which of the following is NOT true of the community antenna according to the
passage?
A) It was usually placed on a roof.
B) It was usually placed on a hill.
C) It was usually placed on a mountain.
D) It was usually placed on a high tower.
35. What can be inferred from the passage?
A) TV has begun to be used for educational purpose.
B) There is no charge for CATV.
C) CATV cannot be used in rural areas.
D) Antennas for CATV are usually put up in the center of a community.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

4
 After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had
news to report: The damage and death toll could have been much worse.
More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar
intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.
Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at
4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes
made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened
the city’s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.
Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their
drawings boards are blueprints for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs
should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.
In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as
steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its
foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce
the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as
concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living
organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips
forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.
The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save
many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.

36. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low
was that____________.
A) new computers had been installed in the buildings
B) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highways
C) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday
D) improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways
37. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ___________.
A) counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the building
B) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy
C) help strengthen the foundation of the building
D) measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations
38. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ___________.
A) would cause serious financial problems
B) would be worthwhile though costly
C) would increase the complexity of architectural design
D) can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes.
39. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by
earthquakes attention should be focused on ___________.
A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital construction
B) the development of flexible building materials
C) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrations
D) early forecasts of earthquakes
40. The main purpose of this passage is mostly to _________.

5
 A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U.S.
B) encourage civil engineers to make extensive use of computers
C) outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materials
D) report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildings

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United
States, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success
resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding
during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their
investments.
Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt
strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed
charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to
help themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced," he often said.
Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name,
including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts,
and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part
of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to
fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.
Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie’s generosity. His
contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small
communities throughout the country and that we all enjoy today.

41. Which of the following accounts for Andrew Carnegie’s success?

A) His ability to sell the product and his policy of expanding business.
B) His reputation as the King of steel.
C) His founding of the steel industry in the United States.
D) His creation of a global distribution network.
42. Which of the following is NOT true about Andrew Carnegie?
A) He thought individuals should progress through hard work.
B) He felt that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society.

will hear a number of questions. Both the passage and the questions will be read only once.
After you hear one question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices
marked A), B), C), and D). Then blacken the corresponding letter on the answer sheet.

Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made
enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods

11
unfit to eat. Some researches have shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses
are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to diet as well, especially cancer of
the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of
the food that is characteristic in theses cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new
discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to
preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic
additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which
things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives
which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals,
and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk or treated cows. Sometimes
similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The
farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the
market. Although the Food and Drug Administration has tried repeatedly to control these
procedures, the practices continue.
11. What is the talk mainly concerned about?
12. Which of the following is NOT true according to the talk?
13. Why do the farmer sometimes give drugs to his animals according to the talk?

Questions 14 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Today, as every other day of the year, more than 3,000 U.S. adolescents will smoke their
first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime, it
can be expected that of these 3,000, about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic
accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths
attributed to cigarette smoking clearly outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or
involuntary, as a cause of death.
Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent,
smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second, in the late 1970s, smoking
among male high school seniors exceeded that among females by nearly 10 percent. Third,
several recent studies have indicated high school dropouts have excessively high smoking
rates, as much as 75 percent.
Finally, though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past
decade, no definite results for the declines exist. Within this context, the National Cancer
Institute is declining its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce
smoking levels among youth.
14. According to the speaker, what mainly causes the deaths among the young people?
15. How many high school students will become regular smokers every day?
16. Why is adolescent smoking declining?
17. What is true about smoking in the U.S.?

Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing how language first began,
but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. However, we do know a lot about
languages, the languages of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are
probably about three thousand languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with

12
most speakers. English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by many millions of people.
On the other hand, some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers.
There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the
languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original language of
this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago; many of the present-day languages of
Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 years ago.
Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English
500 years ago. About 1,000 years ago English was a little-known relative of German
spoken on one of the borders of Europe.
If a language has a large number of speakers or if it is very old, there may be differences
in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialects.
Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of
years by many millions of speakers. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so
great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China cannot understand speakers from
other parts.
18. What is true about most European and Indian languages?
19. Which of the following seems to have changed a lot according to the talk?
20. Why is it most difficult for one to learn to speak Chinese?

Section C
Directions: In this section you will hear a passage, and then decide the following
statements are true (T) or false (F). Put a T or F in the corresponding parentheses on the
answer sheet.

Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, Tony --- these sound like names of people, but actually they are
awards given to entertainers in the United States every year. Each of these award
ceremonies is a grand affair, usually held in Hollywood or New York. Hundreds of would-
be winners dress in formally to accept their prize or acknowledge others who win.
The oldest of these awards is the Oscar, a small statue presented by the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Academy Awards ceremony originated in 1928 in
Hollywood to honor outstanding achievement in performance, photography, direction,
production, music, and other areas of film-making. The name Oscar was supposedly given
to the small statue in 1931 when the librarian and, later, executive director of the Academy,
Margaret Herrick, said that it looked like her Uncle Oscar.
The Emmy is presented by the National Academy for Television Arts and Sciences to
the top programs, performers, and behind-the-scenes people in commercial and public
television. The Grammy is awarded by the national Academy of Recording Arts and
Sciences and honors a variety of singers, musicians, producers, writers, technicians, and the
music they have produced.
The Tony is an award that pays tribute to the outstanding achievement in theater. It was
first presented in 1947 and named for a then-popular actress, Antoinette Perry. It honors the
best among Broadway dramas and musicals in categories similar to those of the Oscar.
Millions of viewers watch these award ceremonies in television and are overjoyed when
their favorite stars receive a prize. The candidates themselves spend weeks planning what

13
they will wear, who they will go with, and what they will say in their acceptance speeches.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent on an event that is over in just a few hours. The
winners take the prizes home, grateful for the recognition their talent and hard work have
brought them. The losers smile graciously, express how happy they are for the winners, and
think to themselves, “Next year will be my turn!”
