Elderly people are growing healthier, happier and more independent, say American scientists. The results of
a 14-year study to be announced later this month reveal that the diseases associated with old age are afflicting
fewer and fewer people and when they do strike, it is much later in life.
In the last 14 years, the National Long-term Health Care Survey has gathered data on the health and
lifestyles of more than 20,000 men and women over 65. Researchers, now analysing the results of data gathered in
1994, say arthritis, high blood pressure and circulation problems -the major medical complaints in this age group -
are troubling a smaller proportion every year. And the data confirms that the rate at which these diseases are
declining continues to (25)__________. Other diseases of old age - dementia, stroke, arteriosclerosis and
emphysema - are also troubling fewer and fewer people. 'It really raises the question of (26)_________should be
considered normal ageing,' says Kenneth Manton, a demographer from Duke University in North Carolina. He says
the problems doctors accepted as normal in a 65-year-old in 1982 are often not appearing (27)________ people are
70 or 75. Clearly, certain diseases are beating a retreat in the (28) ____________of medical advances. But there

for example, gave today's elderly people a better start in life than their predecessors.
On the downside, the data also reveals failures in public health that have caused (29)_________in some
illnesses. An increase in some cancers and bronchitis may reflect changing smoking habits and poorer air quality,
say the researchers. 'These may be subtle influences,' says Manton, 'but our subjects have been exposed to worse
and worse pollution for over 60 years. It's not surprising we see some effect.'

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34.

Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a small scale,
faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of
raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term
finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects, So companies
turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in
future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through The Stock Exchange. By doing so
they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.
When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed
it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest, his money.
Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local
authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these
require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring
more money than is raised through taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalised industries
therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to The Stock
Exchange.
There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the
ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money
must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these
savings can reach those who need finance!

Question 30: Almost all companies involved in new production and development must _______
A. rely on their own financial resources
B. persuade the banks to provide long-term finance
C. borrow large sums of money from friends and people they know
D. depend on the population as a whole for finance
Question 31: The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is _______.
A. repaid to its original owners as soon as possible
B. raised by the selling of shares in the companies
C. exchanged for part ownership in The Stock Exchange
D. invested in different companies on The Stock Exchange.
Question 32: When the savers want their money back they _______.
A. ask another company to obtain their money for them
B. look for other people to borrow money from
C. put their shares in the company back on the market
D. transfer their money to a more successful company

industries _______.
A. to borrow as much money as they wish B. to make certain everybody saves money
C. to raise money to finance new developments D. to make certain everybody lends money to them

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.

According to the best evidence gathered by space probes and astronomers, Mars is an inhospitable planet,
more similar to Earth’s Moon than to Earth itself–a dry, stark, seemingly lifeless world. Mars’ air pressure is equal
to Earth’s at an altitude of 100,000 feet. The air there is 95 percent carbon dioxide.
Mars has no ozone layer to screen out the sun’s lethal radiation. Daytime temperatures may reach above
freezing, but because the planet is blanketed by the mere wisp of an atmosphere, the heat radiates back into space.
Even at the equator, the temperature drops to –50C (–60F) at night. Today there is no liquid water, although valleys
and channels on the surface show evidence of having been carved by running water. The polar ice caps are made of
frozen water and carbon dioxide, and water may be frozen in the ground as permafrost.
Despite these difficult conditions, certain scientists believe that there is a possibility of transforming Mars
into a more Earth-like planet. Nuclear reactors might be used to melt frozen gases and eventually build up the
atmosphere. This in turn could create a “greenhouse effect” that would stop beat from radiating back into space.
Liquid water could be thawed to form a polar ocean. Once enough ice has melted, suitable plants could be
introduced to build up the level of oxygen in the atmosphere so that, in time, the planet would support animal
life from Earth and even permanent human colonies. “This was once thought to be so far in the future as to be
irrelevant,” said Christopher McKay, a research scientist at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
“But now it’s starting to look practical. We could begin work in four or five decades.”
The idea of “terra-forming” Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots inscience fiction. But as researchers
develop a more profound understanding of how Earth’s ecology supports life, they have begun to see how it may
be possible to create similar conditions on Mars. Don’t plan on homesteading on Mars any time soon, though. The
process could take hundreds or even thousands of years to complete and the cost would be staggering.

A. The possibility of changing the Martian environment. B. The challenge of interplanetary travel.

Question 38: It can be inferred from the passage that the “greenhouse effect” mentioned
in paragraph 3 is _________.
A. the direct result of nuclear reactions B. the cause of low temperatures on Mars
C. caused by the introduction of green plants D. a possible means of warming Mars
Question 39: According to Christopher McKay, the possibility of transforming Mars ________.
A. could only occur in science fiction stories B. will not begin for hundreds, even thousands of years
