Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best option The Industrial Revolution in Britain was built on the use of machines in factories. Since the 1950s, Britain's (36) industries have replaced machine operators with computers, and this (37) has led to a decline in the number of (38) in many factories. Goods are bought and used much more than ever before but a lot of these goods are imported. By the beginning of the 20th century, other industrial countries like the USA were (39) with Britain's exports, and countries in the Far East have been able to provide cheaper (40) since the 1970s. Areas located with heavy industries are suffering high unemployment. During the last 30 years, there has been a constant rise in smaller industries (41) as "light industries". These ones use electricity and are not (42) on raw materials such as coal so they are "footloose", i.e. they can be located anywhere. They produce such things as washing machines or spare (43) Some of these industries produce nothing at all, but provide services like distribution. The consumer boom of the 1980s and the increased leisure time of most Britons have led to rapid (44) in service industries like banking, tourism, retailing and information processing, and in industries which distribute, maintain, and repair (45) consumer goods. 36.

Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frames of an object, each slightly different than the preceding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw the different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer will produce the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as computer-assisted animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator. In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequence of pictures. These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that define the objects in the pictures as they exist in mathematical space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information. Highly trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees of realism involves computer techniques for three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures. 2 High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special color terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a single frame. It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen. A camera can be used to film directly from the computer's display screen, but for the highest quality images possible, expensive film recorders are used. The computer computes the positions and colors for the figures in the picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes, however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder. Once this process is completed, it is repeated for the next frame. When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the film must be developed before the animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right, the motions must be corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive and time consuming. Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images. 46. What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss? A. The production process B. The equipment needed C. The high cost D. The role of the artist 47. According to the passage, in computer-assisted animation the role of the computer is to draw the A. first frame B. middle frames C. last frame D. entire sequence of frames 48.

According to the passage, the frame buffers mentioned in the third paragraph are used to A. add color to the images B. expose several frames at the same time C. store individual images D. create new frames 50. According to the passage, the positions and colours of the figures in high-tech animation are determined by A. drawing several versions B. enlarging one frame at a lime C. analyzing the sequence from different angles D. using computer calculations 51. The word "captures" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to A. separates B. registers C. describes D. numbers 52. The word "Once" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to A. before B. since C. after D. while 53. According to the passage, how do computer-animation companies often test motion? A.

Animation involves a wide range of technical and artistic skills. Questions 56 - 65. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to flee. Natural selection has acted in a variety of ways in different species to enhance the efficacy of the behaviours, known as "flight behaviours" or escape behaviours that are used by prey in fleeing predators. Perhaps the most direct adaptation is enhanced light speed and agility. Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so we might expect only some species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy. Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic and unpredictable way. Many species, like ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a characteristic zigzag fashion. Rapid unexpected changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to track prey. In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective in the presence of predators that are faster than they are and straight light more effective against predators that are slower. One observation that supports this suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded gulls, which are normally able to 3 escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent changes in flight direction when they spot a peregrine falcon (peregrines are adept at capturing flying birds). A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash" behaviour. Here, the alarmed prey flees for a short distance and then "freezes." Some predators are unexcited by immobile prey, and a startling flash of activity followed by immobility may confuse them. "Flash" behaviour is used in particular by frogs and orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit immobile. In some species, "flash" behaviour is enhanced by the display of bright body markings. Good examples of insects with colourful markings are the red and yellow underwing moths. At rest, both species are a cryptic brown color. When they fly, however, brightly coloured hind wings are exposed, which render the moths highly conspicuous. Similarly, some frogs and lizards have brightly coloured patches or frills that may serve a 'flash" function when they move quickly. Some species even appear to possess "flash" sounds. The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when they jump may serve to emphasize the movement. 56. The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to A. encourage B. resist C. increase D. reveal 57. The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement is A. reliable B. fast C. constant D. unpredictable 58. It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare A. is faster than most of its predators B. is capable of two kinds of flight C. is more likely to escape using straight flight D. is preyed upon by gulls and falcons 59. The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of A. gazelles B. European hares C. peregrine falcons D. frogs 60. It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for which of the following reasons? A. The falcons are faster than the gulls. B. The gulls want to capture the falcons. C. The falcons are unpredictable. D. The gulls depend on the falcons for protection. 61. The word "alarmed" is closest in meaning to A. moving B. selected C. frightened D. exhausted 62. All of the followings are mentioned as characteristics of "flash" behaviour EXCEPT A. brief conspicuous activity B. immobility C. bright body markings D. aggressive fighting 63. The phrase "in particular" is closest in meaning to A. especially B. with difficulty C. expertly D. frequently 64. The hind wings of red and yellow underwing moths function in a way that is most similar to A. the hind wings of peregrine falcons B. the zigzag flight of European hares C. the colored patches on frogs D. the clicking of grasshoppers 65. Why does the author mention "grasshopper" in the last line? A. To contrast animals that "flash" with animals that "freeze". B. As an example of an animal whose "flash" behaviour is a sound. C. To compare the jumping behaviour of insects and reptiles. D. As an example of a predator that moths escape by using "flash" behavior. Questions 66 - 70.

Read the passage and choose the best answer. English has had a long tradition of borrowing words from other languages. This tradition began with the conquest of Britain by the Norman-French in 1066. Because these conquerors established themselves as rulers, their dialect of French became the language of the aristocracy, of government, and of education. During this period, many French words came into the English language. Another strong influx of vocabulary came from Latin, which was the language of the church Today, those words derived from French and Latin, though still identifiable, are not thought of as foreign by English speakers. Tradition, language and conquest are words that come to us from this tradition. The British colonial era, which began in the early 17 l century, brought English speakers into contact with many other languages. In North America, words from the Native American peoples quickly found their ways into the language Examples include moccasin (a kind of soft shoe), squash (a vegetable) The presence of Spanish colonies in North America led to the adoption of numerous Spanish words, such as siesta (a nap) and tortilla (a flat thin pancake). Asian languages also make contributions. For example, the word pyjamas comes from a Hindi word, khaki comes from Urdu, and ketchup was borrowed from Chinese. Words from African languages, too, made their ways into English when African slaves served in the United States. The result of all of this absorption of new words is a very rich vocabulary that allows users of English to express subtlety of meaning through their choice of words. 61. Many French words came into the English language when A French traders did business with the British. B the Norman-French conquered Britain. C British people ruled France in early 17 th century. D African slaves worked in Great Britain. 62. Tradition, languages and conquest are examples of A borrowed words no longer considered foreign. B words borrowed from Latin. C words used in this passage. D words no longer popular in English. 63. Words from the Native American peoples came into English A when Native American peoples came to Britain.B during the British colonial era C in the 18 lh century. D before those from Latin. 64. Words such as squash, tortilla, ketchup were all borrowed from A other languages. B Asian languages. C the Native American peoples. D African languages. 65. Which of the following is correct? A More Latin words came into the English language than French ones. B English has borrowed many words from French and Latin, although these words are no longer foreign. C Users of English like to express subtlety of meaning through words from French. D Most words of clothing were borrowed from Asian languages. II. Read the passage and choose the best answer. This year, the school is offering new summer courses, which sound very good indeed. They are able to offer many more conversation classes than before. And for about half of these classes the students will be working in groups of seven or eight. Courses on reading and writing will also be given. There's a completely new reading course, in fact, which the students will find very interesting. Teachers will use current newspaper articles and other material. For the first time this year, the school is running a computer course, too. The school will be also continuing the video course, which was very popular last year. Benfield School has some new video equipment and the teachers know a lot about video. All this sounds like hard work! But there will be a lot of leisure activities too. The school has arranged for students to use the sports center near the school in the afternoons and evenings, at greatly reduced prices. And it has planned a lot of visits to places of interest. There will be some special surprises for the students as well. The school has organized a group visit to a television studio, as a suitable end to the video course. Some students will be able to take flying lessons at the airport. The school only takes between forty and fifty students at a time. Although it is a small school, only a few of the students stay at the school itself, in one of two flats in the main building. Most of the summer students will stay with families in the town. 66.
