__________. The Harbour or Leopard Seals, mottled with light or dark spots, prefer to remain close to home on the
rocks just off the shore. Their fur is of little commercial value. The Alaska Fur Seals breed in the Pribilof Islands but
range the length and breadth of the Pacific. They are extremely valuable but are protected from hunters by strict
international agreement. The Steller Sea-Lions have been found from Santa Barbara all the way to the Bering Sea,
but they are now extremely rare. Their noise is a roar and this, plus the tawny, lion-like mane, doubtless accounts
for the name. The California Sea-Lion is small, dark, and usually trainable. Because of its size and sagacity, it is
most often selected for zoological gardens and trained seal acts.

Maize formed the staff of life of the early North American Indians. One of its remarkable forms was Zuni corn which,
in order to resist drought, was planted 18 inches deep. The Pueblo Indians used corn in many of their ceremonials

their forefathers. The prayers for rain and the methods of cultivation of the maize in separated clumps argue for a
very ancient use of this valuable plant.

A. Cultivation and Use of Corn by Early North American Indians.
B. Early American Food Plants.

were important factors in our war with the Filipinos.

Of a temperate, sub-alpine climate, Austria has approximately the same seasons as New York. However, it rarely
becomes either uncomfortably hot or bitingly cold, and the seasons slip gradually from one to another without
abrupt temperature changes. From late October to mid-December the countryside has heavy rains, but Vienna is
always pleasant. In the mountain regions snow begins to fall in mid-November; the air is crisp, cool, and clear, and
it is usually sunny. The spring climate in the mountains makes Austria a skier's paradise.
The best title for the passage would be __________.
A. Austria as a Skier's Paradise

One of the commonest beliefs about reptiles concerns the existence of a "hoop snake". This reptile is supposed to
grasp its tail in its mouth and roll along at terrific speed. Yet science declares no such creature exists. There is also
a belief among cowboys and hunters that they can protect their camps by stretching horsehair ropes around them,
that the prickly hairs will repel any snakes - particularly rattlers. Actually, rattlers crawl over ropes as if they didn't
exist. Like most nature "fables" there is a shred of truth here, but it has been stretched out of all proportion. It is
probable that snakes detect the human odour and, since they fear humans, turn and crawl away. There are many
other "whoppers" just as fantastic, but these examples show why the wide spread belief in them is unjustified.
1. Choose the best topic.
A. The Scientific Study of Reptiles.
B. Reptiles and Humans.
C. Tall Tales About Reptiles.
D. The Hoop Snake Fable.

Scientific forestry is one example of the way that conservation works for the good of the country. As trees are cut
down for industry, new ones are planted to replace them. Deadwood, diseased trees, and harmful shrubs are
removed. In replanting, foresters consider not only the fitness of a tree for climate and soil, but also its usefulness
to man. For this reason the new trees are often higher in quality than the old. Barring waste and careless fires, we
should have trees in plenty to take care of the future.
Choose the best topic.
A. Conservation for the Future.
B. The Work of Scientific Forestry.
C. The Importance of Forest Fire Prevention.
D. New Forests for Old.

The earliest form of dueling was the clash of mounted knights armed with lances in
medieval tournaments. These duels were often purely sporting affairs in which special
nonlethal lances were used. They provided entertainment for the spectators and kept the
knight in good condition for battle. In Elizabethan days, duels no longer took place on
horseback, and the lance was exchanged for a sword and dagger. The sword was held in
the right hand and used for attacking, while the dagger was held in the left hand and used
for defence. Dueling with swords as a means to decide a point of honour became obsolete
with the invention of pistols. Pistols brought about a whole new set of rules and etiquette to
that form of duelling.

Well, Mrs Evans, I've done my very best to look after David. I've tidied his room up every day, got
him a meal together whenever he needed one and made sure he's always had a clean shirt to put
on. It's not been easy, what with two of my own to worry bout, as well. David's had the best of
attention, I must say. But now because I asked him to give up bringing that American friend of his
home he has got quite miserable and unfriendly. He comes in at all hours and his behaviour - well
it's quite hard to put up with - and it's all because of this friend. I'm sure he's a bad influence. You
see, David's a visitor and doesn't fully understand our ways. He used to study most evenings. He'd
get through quite a bit of work. He did up his room quite nicely, with bookshelves and large
posters. He'd ask Mr Smith and me for a drink and cheer us up with songs from his country. He's
very good on the guitar, you know. I don't want to appear as if I'm running after him but it's about
time we made it up, I'm sure he's upset because I told him off. It might be a good idea to take him
out for a meal, perhaps even with his friend. I don't know whether it will do any good but we can try.
I'm glad I've had a chance to let you know of how things are and I'll let you know how I get on.

A normal English family, especially when it has just moved into a new district, wants to be friendly
with those living in the same area, yet it often hesitates because there is a fear that some
neighbours might want to be too friendly and make such a habit of calling that the members of the
family could not call their home their own. It is not surprising, therefore, that quite nice people wait
for a proper invitation, paying no attention to the casual invitation "Come any time." After moving
into a new district a married couple will probably join a local organization, political party, parent-
teacher association, musical, artistic, or literary group, a hobby group, or an evening institute for
learning subjects of interest to adults. In this way natural contacts are made and people with same
interest in common get to know one another. Very often this leads back to the very street where
the newcomers have their home.
1. A normal English family does not want ____________________ .
4. Few people know how to read in the true sense because ...... .
A) most people do not have a chance to go to school
B) one must have many books before one can read intelligently
