the 20th century. Around 300 books of criticism, 50 written in the past ten years alone, have 8 over it. But

Joyce to write the book--it was banned in America and Britain.
The Most Dangerous Book, by Kevin Birmingham, a literary historian at Harvard University, tells the story of
how Ulysses was published in installments in small literary magazines and then in private, limited print runs by
dedicated patrons (most of them women). Mr. Birmingham describes the multiple court cases, the legal wrangles
and the extraordinary 10 men and women went to in order to smuggle it into Britain and America. In doing
so, he offers a refreshing take on a tricky, exhilarating work.

A great deal of intensive work must be performed in a commercial apple orchard. Each year the trees should
be pruned and fertilized, with nitrogen 15 , to grow well and bear properly. Other elements such as potassium
and magnesium are also needed.
Frost, insect pests, and fungus diseases are among the most serious problems apple growers face. Open apple
blossoms are killed when the temperature drops a few degrees below freezing, and 16 are often lost because
of spring frosts. Commercial orchards generally are planted on slopes or high ground to reduce this danger, since
cold air tends to sink. Some apple growers protect their orchards with heaters 17 frost occurs in blossom
time.
Many insects attack the apple tree. One of the worst is the codling moth, which lays its eggs on or near the
fruit. When the eggs hatch, the larvae bore into the fruit and a “wormy” apple 18 . Diseases caused by fungi
and bacteria can also infect the flowers, fruit, and leaves of the apple tree.
Repeated spraying is often necessary to keep the fruit 19 insects and diseases. Because pests appear at
different times of the growing season, some areas may need 12 to 14 sprays per year. New varieties of apples are
now being bred that are resistant to certain kinds of insects and fungi. This reduces the need to spray so often.

As historians have extended the scope of their work, they have also equipped themselves with new methods
and tools, the better to practice their craft. No longer do historians merely pore over the same old chronicles and
documents to ask whether Charles the Fat was at Ingelheim or Lustnau on July 1887. To introduce the evidence of
statistics, they learn the methods of the computer scientist. 23 , they study economics. 24 , they become
archeologists, studying fossil remains, fragments of pots, or modern city landscapes. 25 , they draw on the
insights of social psychologists and cultural anthropologists. To deduce marriage patterns or evaluate the effect
upon an entire population of wars and plagues, they master the skills of the demographer.

What do you think of when you hear the word “desert”? We usually think of deserts as hot, dry places. In fact ,
there are both hot and cold deserts in the world. Scientists defined deserts as areas of land where there are less
than ten inches of rainfalls per year and there are few plants. 26 Precipitation is almost always frozen in the
form of ice or snow. 27 So these regions are considered deserts and given the special label “cold deserts.”
The low temperature there ranges from 10 to 50°F. in summer and from -50 to 10°F. in winter.
28 As with cold deserts, there is usually little water available for plant growth. But contrary to what
many people think, hot deserts are not lifeless wastelands. 29 These species have learned to adapt to
the lack of water and harsh temperatures. Also, they are not necessarily made up of endless shifting sand
dunes. 30 Some deserts have steep, rocky mountains, while others are flat.
26 In arctic and Antarctic regions, for example, there is very little rain.
They are, however, home to a fascinating variety of plants and animals.
Hot deserts, on the other hand, have high temperatures, usually over 75°F. in the daytime.
Because it stays frozen on the ground, plants cannot use it to grow.

Climate scientists vigorously debate about how bad global warming will get, how quickly, and how to combat
it. One fight involves how much effort to put into stopping leaks of methane gas into the atmosphere. Some
academics complain that President Obama’s plan to make greater use of natural gas, which consists mostly of
methane, will lock America into a supposed solution to climate change that will be worse than burning coal. Is
that claim plausible? The basic scientific facts are clear. The most important greenhouse gas that humans are
spewing into the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, which comes from burning fossil fuels. The second most
important is methane, which is released when coal is mined; it escapes when wells are drilled for oil; and it leaks
from pipes that distribute natural gas. Methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. But in
stark contrast to CO2, methane breaks down quickly in the atmosphere. Scientists say, “Methane is like a hangover
that you can get over it if you stop drinking,” said Dr. Pierrehumbert. “CO2 is more like lead poisoning—it sticks
around, you don’t get rid of it, and it causes irreversible harm.” So what has all this got to do with the President’s
climate plan? Mr. Obama’s administration intends to cut carbon dioxide emissions from power plants by 30
percent, from 2005 levels, by 2030. That will push states toward much greater use of natural gas to generate
electricity—a shift that is seen as co mbating global warming because, in a power plant, burning natural gas emits
roughly half the carbon dioxide as burning coal. Experts say that it is critical to keep carbon dioxide out of the
atmosphere now, even if that requires burning more gas.
If only a limited amount of money is going to be available to tackle global warming, that would weigh in favor
of Dr. Pierrehumbert’s argument for ignoring methane leaks for the time being. Dr. Shindell, a NASA climate
scientist, agrees that methane control should not be pursued at the expense of CO2 control.
There might be a way out of this conundrum. The idea would be to promise far more aggressive methane
control to slow global warming for the benefit of people alive today, along with aggressive CO2 control for the
benefit of future generations.
31 What does President Obama propose to curb the greenhouse gases?
To stop the leaking of methane. To make more use of natural gas.
To burn more coals. To take advantage of fossil fuels.
32 According to the passage, which of the following contributes the most to greenhouse effect?
Methane Nitrous oxide Carbon dioxide Ozone
33 According to the passage, which of the following greenhouse gases does the most long-lasting damage to
the environment?
Methane Nitrous oxide Carbon dioxide Ozone
34 According to the passage, which of the following is the better way nowadays to tackle the global warming
problem for people?
To tighten the control of carbon dioxide. To regulate the leaking of methane.
To prohibit the burning of natural gases. To have move agricultural lands burned.

It is an uncomfortable fact, but every country watches the movements of its citizens. The degrees of
surveillance vary from authoritarian regimes such as North Korea featuring among the most heavily monitored
societies to the Database States such as the United Kingdom.
It is surprising to learn that the UK h as been descr ibed as one of the most survey ed countries in the worl d. The
main reason for this is that it has more close-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in use than any other democratic
country. Despite statistics suggesting that over 90 percent of these cameras are in private hands, people remain
concerned about official snooping. The government insists the cameras are there to prevent crimes and keep
people safe; yet statistics show that only a tiny percentage of criminal cases are solved using CCTV evidence. In
spite of this, the authorities continue to champion the use of public surveillance. It seems the Big Brother society
predicted by the British writer George Orwell in his famous novel 1984 has come to pass.
In recent years, the naysayers have won the day. British surveillance system, such as the National Identity
Registration (NIR) system, which allows government agencies to share personal data with no accountability, has
been abandoned. However, many British citizens remain convinced that the government continues to poke its nose
into the private affairs of its citizens.
35 Which of the following makes a suitable title for this passage?
CCTV Cameras and the NIR System Protect Your Personal Data from Being Registered
The Surveillance Society People vs. Government
36 According to the passage, why did many British citizens not favor the use of the CCTV cameras?
They did not prevent crimes in efficient ways.
They can be used for official snooping into people's private lives.
They reflect the condition portrayed in George Orwell's novel.
The NIR system is actually better.
37 What can be inferred from the fact that a tiny percentage of criminal cases are solved using CCTV
evidence?
The government pays great price to solve criminal cases.
The government's use of public surveillance is questionable.
The British citizens live in the world of 1984.
In spite of this fact, the government plans to continue to solve criminal cases.

About 30,000 years ago Neanderthal man disappeared, displaced by Homo sapiens, a taller, slimmer,
altogether agile and more handsome—at least to our eyes—race of people who arose in Africa 10,000 years ago,
spread to the Near East, and then were d rawn to Europe by the retreating ice sheets of the last great ice age. These
were the Cro-Magnon people, who were responsible for the famous cave paintings at Lascaux in France and
Altamira in Spain—the earliest sign of civilization in Europe, the work of the world’s first artist. Although this
was an immensely long time ago—some 20,000 years before the domestication of animals and the rise of
farming—these Cro-Magnon people were identical to us: they had the same physique, the same brain, the same
looks. And, unlike all previous homonids that roamed the earth, they could choke on food. That may seem a
trifling point, but the slight evolutionary change that pushed man’s larynx deeper into his throat, and thus made
choking a possibility, also brought with it the possibility of sophisticated, well-articulated speech.
Other mammals have no contact between their airways and their esophagi. They can breathe and swallow at
the same time, and there is no possibility of food going down the wrong way. But with Homo sapiens food and
drink must pass over the larynx on the way to the gullet, and thus there is a constant risk that some will be
inadvertently inhaled. In modern humans, the lowered larynx isn’t in position from birth. It descends sometime
between the ages of three and five months—curiously, the precise period when babies are likely to suffer from
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. At all events, the descended larynx explains why you can speak and your dog
cannot.
38 According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
The domestication of animals came before the famous cave paintings.
Larger larynx in human makes speech possible.
Among all mammals, only humans develop a deeper larynx.
Most human babies were born with a lower larynx.
39 According to the passage, which one of the following might be mistaken to be a 'trifling point'?
The cave paintings The location of the larynx
The food passage The ability to swallow
40 According to the passage, which of the following organs is responsible for articulation?
The esophagi The larynx The gullet The brain
