Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern halt of the United States and led to health warning even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of coal and oil is creating a "greenhouse effect" holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the worlds average temperature. If this view is correct and the worlds temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water. Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperature a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen ( though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the worlds temperature will stay about the same as it is now.Paragraph 1 implies that_.Acoal and oil are the main cause of the greenhouse effectBincreasing gathering of carbon dioxide in the air is the main cause of greenhouse effectCgreenhouse effect will cause ten degrees increase in temperatureDthe polar ice cap will cover New York under water 4.Questions 1417 are based on the following dialogue.Why does the woman know so much about AlbuquerqueAHer sister lives there.BShe attended college there.CShe lives thirty minutes from there.DShe visited there last year. 5.Questions 1113 are based on the following dialogue.What was the man going to do after the dialogueAHave classes.BMeet his brother.CWork in a restaurant.DSee his uncle. 6.Questions 2225 are based on the following dialogue.What does the woman imply about the participantsAThey are not competing with each other.BThey have to pay a high fee.CThey tend to be beginning cyclists.DMost of them fail to finish the route. 7.Text Men have traveled ever since they flint appeared on earth.

It is my belief that college students need to be taught more skills and information to enable them to meet the challenges that face everyone in daily life. The areas in which students need training are playing the credit game, planning their personal financial strategy, and consumer awareness. Learning how to obtain and use credit, cardsis probably the most valuable knowledge a young person can have. Credit card is a dangerous tool that can be of tremendous help if it is handled with caution. Having credit cards can enable people to obtain material necessities before they have the money to purchase them. But unfortunately, many young people get carried away with their handy plastic credit cards and awake one day to find they are in serious financial debt. Learning how to use credit cards properly can be a very difficult and painful lesson indeed. Of equal importance is learning how to plan a personal budget. People have to know how to control money; otherwise, it can control them. Students should learn how to set aside their money for living expenses, insurance, savings, and so forth in order to avoid the" Oh, no ! Ive no money and I dont get paid again for two weeks!" anxiety conditions. Along with learning about credit and personal financial planning, graduating college students should be trained as consumers. The consumer market today is flooded with a variety of products and services of varying quality and prices. A young person entering the" real world" is suddenly faced with difficult decisions about which product to buy or whose services to engage. He is usually unaware of such things as return policies, guarantees, or repair procedures. Information of this sort is vital knowledge to everyday living. For a newly graduated college student, the" real world" can be a scary place to be when he or she is faced with such issues as handling credit, planning a budget, or knowing what to look for when making a purchase and whom to purchase it from. Entering this" real world" could be made less painful if persons were educated in dealing with these areas of daily life. What better place to accomplish this than in college Students suffer from anxiety conditions because _.Athey do not have their parents financial supportBthey are worded that they dont get paid on timeCthey run out of money and cant cover their living expensesDthey cant afford to buy insurance for themselves 9.Questions 1417 are based on the following dialogue.According to the woman, what may cause the man the most problems in AlbuquerqueAThe low humidity.BThe changing climate.CThe high altitude.DThe extreme temperatures. 10.How about the weather is when the conversation takes placeACloudy and windy.BSunny and cold.CCloudy and freezing.DSunny and warm. 11.Questions 18 21 are based on the following dialogue.How does the man get in touch with the womanABy telephone call.BBy fax.CBy E-mail.DBy paying a visit. 12.What did the professor tell the womanAHe objects to her visit.BThe class is not worth visiting.CShe should visit his class next Monday.DThe students will have their examination next Monday. 13.Questions 2225 are based on the following dialogue.How many participants does the woman expect this yearA45,000.B44,000.C46,000.D47,000. 14.More people are now going to dentists offices, but nearly one half of the United States population will not see a dentist. Why They are scared. And, really, what experience is worse than seeing a traditional dentist You wait in silence, thumbing through old magazines, in a germ-free white waiting room in which no one ever speaks. All is silent until an assistant calls your name and leads you back to another white room, which is filled with machinery to frighten you still further. At the Medical College of Georgia, dentists are taught principles of behavior and techniques of office design that should help reduce the patients anxiety and tension. Assistants and receptionists are taught to smile and speak to the patient. This helps create an environment of trust. Dentists themselves are being taught to communicate more fully with the patient. A phrase such as" you are doing fine" tells the patient that the dentist is appreciative of the patients unpleasant situation. Dentists office is being repainted in colors that make patients feel calmer. A startling color such as red should be avoided at all costs, for red brings to mind blood and pain. Paintings and other things are strategically located so as to turn away the patients attention. Until recently, dentists had ignored the fact that most patients never see much more than the ceiling of the practice room. Most of the time, patients are lying flat on their backs with little time to busy their minds other than their pains. Now dentists are not only building ceiling with fancy patterns, but also turning away patients attention with ceiling TV set, computer games and mobile sculptures. In addition, the practice room is redecorated to include less of white. Uniforms are also being made in soft and earth colors, no longer in white. Some dentists take an active role in teaching their patients deep muscle relaxation and breathing control. Some use advanced techniques, such as bio-feedback to help their patients relax in the chair. Drugs and painkillers may still be used to ease physical pain, but all these techniques of relaxation help the patients relax and avoid anxiety over their pain.Dentists offices are_.Apleasant places in ones memoryBavoided red color because it is connected with blood and painCdecorated very well to attract more patientsDrequired to paint white 15.It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories or heavy automobile traffic.

Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the worlds temperature will stay about the same as it is now.It can be inferred from the text that_.Araising the temperature several degrees will not do much harm to earth lifeBtemperature will change dramatically in the coming yearsClowering the temperature a few degrees will be very harmful in fanningDtemperature will remain constant in the future 16.Students graduating from colleges today are not fully prepared to deal with the" real world".
