[FONT=&quot]Behavioural biologist Jane Atkinson and her colleagues have been studying the subtleties of how crows steal food from one another. Atkinson had been watching the birds at the beach as they fed on fish, clams and other small animals in the inertial zone. She noticed that if a crow had found a particularly large meal that couldn't be eaten in a single gulp, another crow would often come by and try to steal the food away. Food theft is fairly common in the bird world, so the crows' thievery wasn't unexpected. What really intrigued Atkinson was that the birds employed two different tactics to take the food? in some instances, the thieving bird would take an aggressive approach - typically involving some chasing or physical contact, such as pecking in other exchanges, however, the thief would use a more passive method: merely approaching the other bird secretively and stealing the food without any commotion at all. What the team wanted to know was: how did these tactics fit into the group foraging practices of the crows?

76. According to the passage, the question that interested the research team was.
A) Whether the crows' stealing practices were instinctive or acquired
B) wry the crows chose to steal
C) related to the crows' foraging practices
D) whether the nature of the food affected the degree of attempted theft
E) whether the stealing practices of crows differed from those of other birds[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]77.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] it is clear from the passage that the research team was not surprised that the crows were trying to steal from each other common
A) because this is a practice among birds
B) since there was a scarcity of food at the time
C) though crows don't steal food as often as other birds do
D) but it was surprised at their rate of success
E) but the bitterness of the fight came as a surprise

78. According to the passage, when one crow plans to steal food from another one, _
A) this is really a means of establishing its superionty
B) it will invariably try to do so in the first place without being seen
C) there will inevitably be a fight between the two
D) this is a sure sign that both crows are really hungry
E) it will sometimes approach quite openly and boldly[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]79[/FONT][FONT=&quot]-We understand from the passage that so long as a crow _ .
A-can swallow its food at one gulp, it will encounter no challenge
B-can find food easily, it will not steal from another crow
C-can get food by stealing, it won't look elsewhere for it
D-has eaten well, it is unlikely to try to steal food
E) is able to steal food without fighting, this is the method it will favour[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]in many ways, Hollywood seems to exemplify the most joyless aspects of capitalism. The "industry", as it insists upon calling itself, packages artistic ideas and images as commodities and then values those commodities according to how they "penetrate" markets. The system's worrying inefficiency, of course, is that studios never know what the public at large will want to buy. So films are tested in front of preview audiences, revised according to the audience's suggestions, tested again, and then marketed with vigour directly proportionate to the test scores. There are two problems with this approach. The first is that the test-sample size is minimal but can determine a film's fate. The second is that by the time the test audience sees a film it's too late to change it very much anyway, particularly when twenty, fifty or a hundred million dollars has already been spent.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]81.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] One point made in the passage about test audiences is that they.
A) seldom have any real understanding of artistic values
B) add to the expenses of film-making
C) rarely have any constructive criticism to make
D) are ignorant of the Hollywood techniques of film making
E) are too small to be truly representative of the general public[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]82.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] According to the passage, film-makers find it difficult to.
A) carry out any market research to find out about the wishes of film-goers
B) find volunteers for their preview audiences
C) raise the money needed for film- making
D) guess what sort of films will be popular and so profitable
E) revise scripts to meet the expectations of their audiences[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]83-[/FONT][FONT=&quot]As we understand from the passage, the writer _
A) is a great admirer of Hollywood's film-making
B) seems reluctant to call film-making an industry
C) is sympathetic towards the film-industry and wants it to be more successful
D) attaches great importance to the suggestions of preview audiences
E) thinks that the amount spent on a film is usually in proportion to its success[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]84[/FONT][FONT=&quot]- it is clear from the passage that Hollywood regards its films as
A) commodities to be selectively marketed to suitable audiences
B) artistic creations designed for sophisticated audiences
C) goods to be dynamically marketed
D) the most creative products of capitalism
E) financial investments which are sure to make a profit[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]85[/FONT][FONT=&quot]- We understand from the passage that the making of a film .
A) is far more important than the marketing of it
B) usually involves a very large financial investment
C) is a strictly secret process until it finally goes on show
D) usually follows the norms established by Hollywood
E) is guided by a whole series o representative preview audiences[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Reading[/FONT][FONT=&quot] presents a real paradox to neurobiologists. It was only invented a few thousand years ago, so there really has not been enough time for our brain to evolve specialized ways to do it. How do brain circuits produced by millions of years of evolution in a world without written words adapt to the specific challenges of reading? We know we have to learn the skill but how does our brain learn to read? in the social sciences, the majority of researchers do not see a problem. There is a widespread view that the brain is a completely adaptable organ, capable of absorbing any form of culture. Yet recent findings from brain imaging studies and neurophysiology throw new light on the organization of the reading circuits in the brain. The findings contradict this simplistic model of a brain that merely absorbs everything from its cultural environment. And they suggest that the architecture of our brain is limited by strong genetic constraints though it seerns that it has still some degree of flexibility.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]86. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The passage makes the point that, until recently, .
A) it was only the abnormal brain that attracted any attention
B) researchers in social sciences ignored the views of neurophysiologists concerning the brain
C) the brain was generally thought to adapt itself easily to new cultural environments
D) the structure of the brain did not attract much attention except from neurobiologists
E) neurophysiologists were not aware of the structural complexity of the brain


[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]87.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] The writer is intrigued by the fact that the brain, which evolved long before the written word came into use,
A) had already had the genetic capacity to form words
B- had been able to communicate through images
C) had already developed certain reading circuits
D) managed to adapt itself to the very distinct skill of reading
E) had already achieved full flexibility to adapt itself to new forms of culture[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]88.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] A recent view neurophysiologists, the brain, is that _ .
A) it is extremely flexible as it is not affected by genetic heritage
B) its structure is largely shaped by genetic traits
C) it has developed various specialized skills over the last thousand years or so
D) its circuits have remained constant for millions of years
E) its creative powers are more apparent in some fields of learning[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]89-[/FONT][FONT=&quot]According to the passage, although people have had the skill of reading for several thousand years, _
A) the actual process of learning how to read has only just been discovered by neurophysiologists
B) there has been no improvement in the speed at when people can read
C) the brain remains inflexible and cannot cope with different cultures
D) from the angle of evolution, this has been insufficient for the brain to develop particularized reading skills
E) it is only in the social sciences that this skill has been seriously studied[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]90.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] The purpose of the passage is to
A) explain how the brain has evolved towards creativity over thousands of years
B) raise questions about, rather than explain, the reading abilities of the brain
C) highlight recent developments and controversies in the field of neurophysiology
D) emphasize the adverse effects of different cultural environments on the human brain way from

[FONT=&quot]Throughout history, eyewitnesses have reported orange glows, fireballs or flashes in the days before and during an earthquake. it was in 1968, however, that the first photographs of "earthquake lights" were taken during a series of earthquakes in Japan. Some showed red streaks across the sky. Others looked like a low blue dawn from a distance. in 1999, floating bails of light in the sky were broadcast on Turkish television, reportedly filmed the night before the devastating earthquake of 7.4 on the Richter scale that killed many thousand people in the Marmora region of Turkey. Mysterious or not, repeated sightings of earthquake lights confirm their existence. it has to be said that earthquake lights are a fairly well-known phenomenon, but we don't know what they mean, or what causes them. Seismologists have struggled far years to find a reliable earthquake predictor. Could the lights hold the key?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Much has been said and written about the declining numbers of and disappointing lack of diversity among American college students majoring in engineering. Among the factors cited to explain this phenomenon are the lack of exposure of high school students to the very idea of engineering and the fact that many have insufficient mathematics and science background to gain entrance to engineering school, even if they do identify the profession as a possible career. This is unfortunate, for the ideas of engineering should be integrated into the curricula not only of high schools but also of middle and primary schools. Our children are being done a disservice by not being exposed properly throughout their education to engineering activities identified as such. After all, even pre-school children have the prerequisites in their play for appreciating exactly what engineering is: design. Indeed, design is everywhere around them throughout their school day, even in their before-school and after-school activities. it need only be pointed out to them that they are designing something, and therefore being enquirers of sorts, in virtually everything that they do.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]96.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] The writer of the passage feels strongly that ..............
A) children should be involved in engineering activities at an early age
B) many children are being unfairly directed into a career in engineering
C) the mathematics an science courses in schools need to be modernized
D) university engineering courses ought to be upgraded
E) the education of pre-school children is being given too much importance[/FONT]

A) be encouraged to take part in after-school activities
B)develop an interest in scientific matters
C)make up their minds to study engineering at university
D)learn something about the basis of engineering, which is design
E)be influenced by their school environment[/FONT]

A)is becoming less and less popular as a field of study among university students
B) is only suitable for highly intelligent students
C)is a complicated subject only suitable for really mature students
D) has become one of the most popular fields of study at American universities
E)requires many years of treading prior to qualification[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]99-[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Among the reasons given in the passage for the decline in the numbers of engineering students is that............
A) the American schools still follow out-dated curricula
B) university entrance requirements are far too demanding
