VIII. Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions or indicate the correct answer to each of them.

Lighthouses are towers with strong lights that help mariners plot their position, inform them that land is near, and warn them of dangerous rocks and reefs. They are placed at prominent points on the coast and on islands, reefs, and sandbars.

Every lighthouse has a distinctive pattern of light known as its characteristic. There are five basic characteristics: fixed, flashing, occulting, group flashing, and group occulting. A fixed signal is a steady beam. A flashing signal has periods of darkness longer than periods of light, while an occulting signal’s periods of light are longer. A group- flashing light gives off two or more flashes at regular intervals, and a group – occulting signal consists of a fixed light with two or more periods of darkness at regular intervals. Some lighthouses use lights of different colors as well, and today, most lighthouses are also equipped with radio beacons. The three types of apparatus used to produce the signals are the catoptric, in which metal is used to reflect the light; the dioptric, in which glass is used; and the catadioptric, in which both glass and metal are used.

In the daytime, lighthouses can usually be identified by their structure alone. The most typical structure is a tower tapering at the top, but some, such as the Bastion Lighthouse on the Saint Lawrence River, are shaped like pyramids, and others, such as the Race Rock light, look like wooden houses sitting on high platforms. Still others, such as The American Shoal lighthouse off the Florida Coast, are skeletal towers of steel. Where lighthouses might be confused in daylight, they can be distinguished by day- marker patterns – designed of checks and stripes painted in vivid colors on lighthouse walls.

In the past, the job of lighthouse keeper was lonely and difficult if somewhat romantic. Lighthouse keepers put in hours of tedious work maintaining the lights. Today, lighthouses are almost entirely automated with humans supplying only occasional maintenance. Because of improvements in navigational technology, the importance of lighthouses has diminished. There are only about 340 functioning lighthouses in existence in the United States today, compared to about 1,500 in 1900, and there are only about 1,400 functioning lighthouses outside the United States. Some decommissioned lighthouses have been preserved as historical monument.

71. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the functions of lighthouses?

74. According to the passage, what kind of signal has long periods of light that are regularly broken by two or more periods of darkness?

Read the following passages and choose the correct answer: History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silentscreenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly the same time as the pictures – called “synchronized sound” – began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and the pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence. In the “sound-on-film” system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this ways as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us “talking pictures”. 56. The passage is mainly about the __________. A. history of silent movies C. development of sound with movies B. disadvantages of synchronized sound D. research into sound reproduction 57.

V. Read the following passages and choose the correct answer:

History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silentscreenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly the same time as the pictures – called “synchronized sound” – began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and the pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.

In the “sound-on-film” system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor.

V. Read the following passages and choose the correct answer:

A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the world’s largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is geothermal heat from the earth’s core. The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures (the lowest ever recorded on Earth) on the surface.

The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the arena. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite – borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake.

The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organism in more exposed areas. The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this.

56. The purpose of the passage is to .
A. explain how Lake Vostok was discovered
B. provide satellite data concerning Antarctica
C. discuss future plans for lake Vostok
D. present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica’s geography

57. What is true of Lake Vostok?
A. It is completely frozen.                                                  B. It is not a saltwater lake.
C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice.                                     D. It is heated by the sun.

58. All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it .
A. was conducted by air                                                     B. made use of radio waves
C. did not measure the exact size of the lake                    D. was controlled by a satellite

59. It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if .
A. there were no lake                                                         B. the lake were not so big
C. Antarctica were not so cold                                           D. radio waves were not used

60. The passage mentions which of the following as a reason for the importance of Lake

DRINKING AND DRIVING

The legal limit for driving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood, when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, if you've just eaten and what sort of drinks you've had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks.

In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if you're below the legal limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol.

It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking session in the evening you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, or you could even find that you're still over the legal limit. In addition, if you've had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit.

In a test with professional drivers , the more alcoholic drinks hey had had the more certain they were that they could drive a test course through a set of moveable posts.... and the less able they were to do it!

So the only way te be sure you're safe is no to drink at all.

Alcohol is a major cause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young men. More than half of the people  stopped by the police to take a breathalyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit.

It is important to remember that driving after you've been drinking doesn't just affect you. If you're involved in an accident it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you might kill or injure.

56. The amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching the legal limit is
A. 800 milligrams of pure alcohol
B. approximately three standard drinks
C. different for different people
D. exactly proportional weight

57. When might you be taken to court by the police for drinking and driving?
A. When you have driven a vehicle after drinking any alcohol at all
B. When you have drunk at least three drinks before driving
C. Only when tests show that you have 80 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood
D. When the police think that you have been drinking from the way you are driving

58. When you have been drinking heavily in the evening, the next day you might be ..............
A. still drunk after lunchtime
B. unable to drive until the evening
C. over the legal limit in the morning
D. unable to drive all day

59. Alcohol is a major cause of road accidents in that ............
A. most drivers who die in these accidents have been drinking
B. more young men die in drink - related accidents than in any other way
C. drinking affects people's eye - sight
