safer. Tests in the US have shown that
cooling, fuel before it is put into an aircraft
prevents fumes building up in the fuel tanks.

occurs safety depends largely on the absence
of a spark
D) The US Federal aviation Administration has
since been looking, at many ways of making,
air travel safer

there is no danger of an explosion even if
static electricity of faulty wiring, creates a
spark

Heat-waves, if the temperature is high enough,
above 40°0 for instance, lead to wilting, and
even death in plant, because of structural
damage to essential proteins. The problem is
that plants react by closing their pores when,
due to a serious heat-wave, they are subjected
to water stress, so shutting down on
transpiration and conserving water. Just as
the body would overheat dangerously if it shut
its pores to prevent sweating, so, in a plant,
the shutting of the pores will cause permanent
damage. if not death. Temperatures above -5°0
can damage most plants if lasting for half an
hour or more. High soil temperatures will also
damage roots and prevent nutrient uptake.
83. As we learn from the passage, a heat-wave
can cause serious damage to plant life ____ .
A) even if the essential proteins remain
unharmed
B) even when the temperature remains below
40°C
C) unless the soil temperature remains stable
D) through harming the plant's essential proteins
E) especially if the soil is fertile
84. It is pointed out in the passage that the
death of a plant in a heat-wave is due to ____ .
A) a sudden loss of proteins which can occur
within half an hour
B) excessive transpiration in an effort to keep its
temperature down
C) overheating in the plant following the closing
of the little holes in its surface
D) a structural deformation which cannot be
detected easily
E) the plant's inability to conserve water in its
cells
85. It is understood from the passage that, in
extremely high temperatures, the roots of a
plant ____ .
A) fail to supply the plant with adequate nutrients
B) dry out well before the leaves begin to wilt
C) store an adequate amount of nutrients to
prolong plant life
D) increase their nutrient intake in order to
protect the plant
E) maintain their vitality so that they can function
normally

A conspicuous feature of cities in many
countries, in particular those of Western
Europe, is that buildings and streets
devastated during the war are, once peace is
reinstated, rebuilt in exactly the same manner
as they existed before. Enormous efforts are
taken to recreate the environment with total
fidelity. This reflects the extent to which
ordinary people value the traditions and
culture of the past. In Japanese cities,
however, one sees little evidence of such
respect for tradition. Tokyo presents an
extreme example: it is quite common these
days for the appearance of a street or quarter
to change almost beyond recognition every
year. In provincial cities as well, one often
finds that an absence of several years has
rendered a city almost unrecognisable.
86. It is emphasized in the passage that in
Western Europe, in the post-war period ____ .
A) people relished the chance to break with
tradition and create a new style of city
B) new style of architecture were favoured in the
bigger cities
C) every effort was made to rebuild the cities in
the pre-war style
D) environmental concerns were usually
disregarded in the reconstruction of cities
E) many countries were still doubtful about the
permanence of the peace
87. According to the passage, unlike the
Europeans, the Japanese ____ .
A) take every opportunity to promote their
traditions and culture
B) reconstructed their cities in accordance with
their cultural traditions
C) were reluctant to introduce any novelties into
city planning
D) paid considerable attention to environmental
matters in rebuilding their cities
E) are, on the whole, indifferent to their past
88. With reference to Japanese writer points
out that ____ .
A) the cities are constantly undergoing massive
changes In appearance
B) Tokyo is an extreme example of traditional
designs in architecture
C) provincial cities have imitated Tokyo as
regards city planning
D) in major cities, the streets invariably follow a

Modern education is almost exclusively
focused on preparing children for an urban
future, as consumers in a global 'free" market.
This makes a return to any sort of rural
existence almost an impossibility for those
tutored by the Western education system in
the 21st century. The fact is that, for all the
fashionable talk about cultural diversity,
schools, colleges and universities today
prepare their graduates poorly for anything
other than a uniform urban existence. We
educate the young from country to city alike,
to be urban with urban appetites, skills, minds,
dependencies and expectations. And as
globalised future will overwhelmingly mean an
urban future, our graduates of tomorrow will
be trained, above all, to keep the wheels of the
global economy running, with all the
Implications that has for nature and society.
89. In this passage one feels that the author
____ .
A) greatly values the educational system current
in the West today

world
D) expect that the young will create a better
world in the 21st century

People in other European countries have been
wondering for some time why and how
Norway has stayed out of the European Union.
Austria, Finland, Sweden joined in 1994,
almost without any public debate, just a few
months after the their governments had
proposed the joining. By then, the Norwegians
had been debating the issue for 33 years, ever
since their government had started the drive
towards unionisation. One reason for the
success of Norwegian resistance is that in
both 1952 and 1987, when the Norwegian
government sent off applications for joining
the EEC, President De Gaulle of France
rejected the proposals. He feared that the
inclusion of Norway, as of England, would
complicate and slow down EEC integration.
92. We learn from the passage that the
government of Norway ____ .
A) deliberated for over three decades whether or
not to become a member of the European
Union

In its full force the Gulf Stream, which begins
in the Gulf of Mexico, carries warm water to a
depth of up to 100 meters at rates of up to 8
kilometres an hour, and penetrates right up
into the Arctic Circle to the north of
Scandinavia, bearing with it a climate that
makes life just about tolerable, even in the
thick of the winter. The energy it carries in the
form of heat is equivalent to 100 times the
entire use of energy in human societies across
the world or put another way, more than
27,000 times Britain's electricity generating
capacity. In terms of temperature the Gulf
Stream heats the surface over a wide area by
at least 5°C. Were the-Gulf Stream to fail,
temperatures over northern Europe would fall
by more than 10 centigrade degree during the
winter months. Northern Europe would have a
climate comparable to that of Siberia: just how
it would support its current population is
difficult to imagine.
95. This passage mainly deals with ____ .
A) the adverse effects that Gulf Stream has on
the wild life in Scandinavia
B) how the Gulf Stream transforms the climate in
the Arctic Circle
C) the question of whether man can benefit from
the energy latent in the Gulf Stream
D) the reasons why the climate of Scandinavia
differs from that of Siberia
E) the course, climatic effects and energy
capacity of the Gulf Stream
96. As we understood from the passage, one
of the great benefits of the Gulf Stream is that
it ____ .
A) causes an average ten percent rise in
temperature in Northern Europe throughout
the winter
B) provides a huge amount of electricity for the
Northern Europe countries
C) warms up the whole of Scandinavia and
Siberia in winter

Heat-waves, if the temperature is high enough,
above 40°0 for instance, lead to wilting, and
even death in plant, because of structural
damage to essential proteins. The problem is
that plants react by closing their pores when,
due to a serious heat-wave, they are subjected
to water stress, so shutting down on
transpiration and conserving water. Just as
the body would overheat dangerously if it shut
its pores to prevent sweating, so, in a plant,
the shutting of the pores will cause permanent
damage. if not death. Temperatures above -5°0
can damage most plants if lasting for half an
hour or more. High soil temperatures will also
damage roots and prevent nutrient uptake.
83. As we learn from the passage, a heat-wave
can cause serious damage to plant life ____ .
A) even if the essential proteins remain
unharmed
B) even when the temperature remains below
40°C
C) unless the soil temperature remains stable
D) through harming the plant's essential proteins
E) especially if the soil is fertile
84. It is pointed out in the passage that the
death of a plant in a heat-wave is due to ____ .
A) a sudden loss of proteins which can occur
within half an hour
B) excessive transpiration in an effort to keep its
temperature down
C) overheating in the plant following the closing
of the little holes in its surface
D) a structural deformation which cannot be
detected easily
E) the plant's inability to conserve water in its
cells
85. It is understood from the passage that, in
extremely high temperatures, the roots of a
plant ____ .
A) fail to supply the plant with adequate nutrients
B) dry out well before the leaves begin to wilt
C) store an adequate amount of nutrients to
prolong plant life
D) increase their nutrient intake in order to
protect the plant
E) maintain their vitality so that they can function
normally

A conspicuous feature of cities in many
countries, in particular those of Western
Europe, is that buildings and streets
devastated during the war are, once peace is
reinstated, rebuilt in exactly the same manner
as they existed before. Enormous efforts are
taken to recreate the environment with total
fidelity. This reflects the extent to which
ordinary people value the traditions and
culture of the past. In Japanese cities,
however, one sees little evidence of such
respect for tradition. Tokyo presents an
extreme example: it is quite common these
days for the appearance of a street or quarter
to change almost beyond recognition every
year. In provincial cities as well, one often
finds that an absence of several years has
rendered a city almost unrecognisable.
86. It is emphasized in the passage that in
Western Europe, in the post-war period ____ .
A) people relished the chance to break with
tradition and create a new style of city
B) new style of architecture were favoured in the
bigger cities
C) every effort was made to rebuild the cities in
the pre-war style
D) environmental concerns were usually
disregarded in the reconstruction of cities
E) many countries were still doubtful about the
permanence of the peace
87. According to the passage, unlike the
Europeans, the Japanese ____ .
A) take every opportunity to promote their
traditions and culture
B) reconstructed their cities in accordance with
their cultural traditions
C) were reluctant to introduce any novelties into
city planning
D) paid considerable attention to environmental
matters in rebuilding their cities
E) are, on the whole, indifferent to their past
88. With reference to Japanese writer points
out that ____ .
A) the cities are constantly undergoing massive
changes In appearance
B) Tokyo is an extreme example of traditional
designs in architecture
C) provincial cities have imitated Tokyo as
regards city planning
D) in major cities, the streets invariably follow a
similar design
E) there is a strong European Influence in city
planning

Modern education is almost exclusively
focused on preparing children for an urban
future, as consumers in a global 'free" market.
This makes a return to any sort of rural
existence almost an impossibility for those
tutored by the Western education system in
the 21st century. The fact is that, for all the
fashionable talk about cultural diversity,
schools, colleges and universities today
prepare their graduates poorly for anything
other than a uniform urban existence. We
educate the young from country to city alike,
to be urban with urban appetites, skills, minds,
dependencies and expectations. And as
globalised future will overwhelmingly mean an
urban future, our graduates of tomorrow will
be trained, above all, to keep the wheels of the
global economy running, with all the
Implications that has for nature and society.
89. In this passage one feels that the author
____ .
A) greatly values the educational system current
in the West today

People in other European countries have been
wondering for some time why and how
Norway has stayed out of the European Union.
Austria, Finland, Sweden joined in 1994,
almost without any public debate, just a few
months after the their governments had
proposed the joining. By then, the Norwegians
had been debating the issue for 33 years, ever
since their government had started the drive
towards unionisation. One reason for the
success of Norwegian resistance is that in
both 1952 and 1987, when the Norwegian
government sent off applications for joining
the EEC, President De Gaulle of France
rejected the proposals. He feared that the
inclusion of Norway, as of England, would
complicate and slow down EEC integration.

government of Norway ____ .
A) deliberated for over three decades whether or
not to become a member of the European
Union

Gaulle ____ .
personally urged Norway. but not England to join
the EEC

establishment of the EEC
was anxious to keep both England and Norway
out of the EEC
was disillusioned by the unwillingness of the
Norwegian government to join the EEC
was determined to keep the EEC solely for the
countries of Continental Europe
94. According to the passage, Austria, Finland
and Sweden ____ .
A) had, in the 19S0s, been designated by De
Gaulle as future EEC members
B) entered the European Union with very little
opposition from their own people

In its full force the Gulf Stream, which begins
in the Gulf of Mexico, carries warm water to a
depth of up to 100 meters at rates of up to 8
kilometres an hour, and penetrates right up
into the Arctic Circle to the north of
Scandinavia, bearing with it a climate that
makes life just about tolerable, even in the
thick of the winter. The energy it carries in the
form of heat is equivalent to 100 times the
entire use of energy in human societies across
the world or put another way, more than
27,000 times Britain's electricity generating
capacity. In terms of temperature the Gulf
Stream heats the surface over a wide area by
at least 5°C. Were the-Gulf Stream to fail,
temperatures over northern Europe would fall
by more than 10 centigrade degree during the
winter months. Northern Europe would have a
climate comparable to that of Siberia: just how
it would support its current population is
difficult to imagine.
95. This passage mainly deals with ____ .
A) the adverse effects that Gulf Stream has on
the wild life in Scandinavia
B) how the Gulf Stream transforms the climate in
the Arctic Circle
C) the question of whether man can benefit from
the energy latent in the Gulf Stream
D) the reasons why the climate of Scandinavia
differs from that of Siberia
E) the course, climatic effects and energy
capacity of the Gulf Stream
96. As we understood from the passage, one
of the great benefits of the Gulf Stream is that
it ____ .
A) causes an average ten percent rise in
temperature in Northern Europe throughout
the winter
B) provides a huge amount of electricity for the
Northern Europe countries
C) warms up the whole of Scandinavia and
Siberia in winter
D) circles around Britain and then moves into the
northern waters
E) carries warm waters nearly as far as the Arctic
Circle
97. It is clear from the passage that ____ .
A) the energy to be derived from the Gulf Stream
would theoretically barely meet the needs of
the whole world
B) the effects of the Gulf Stream are far more
noticeable in the Arctic Circle than along the
shores of Northern Europe
C) without the Gulf Stream, it would be almost
impossible for Northern Europe to support its
population
D) the Gulf Stream brings with it disadvantages
as well as advantages for the people of
Northern Europe
E) the Gulf Stream is indispensable if the people
of Siberia are to survive
