Text 1 In some respects, the commercials are really better than the shows they sponsor. The commercials are carefully rehearsed, expertly photographed highly edited and polished. They are made with absolute attention to detail and to the clock. One split-second over time, one had note, one slightly wrinkled dress, and they are done over again. The shows, on the other hand, are slapped together hastily by writers and performers who have less than a week to put together an hour show. Actors have little time in front of the camera. Lighting, sound, reproduction, and editing are workmanlike, but unpolished; a shadow from an overhead microphone on an actor’s face causes no real concern in the control room. 16.

Text 8 In the second century, Ptolemy, a Greek scientist, said that the sun, the stars, and all other things in the sky revolved around the earth. Most people believed that this was true. However, about thirty-four years before Galileo was born, Copernicus shocked the world with his theory that the sun, not the earth, was the centre of our solar system. Galileo decided to discover who was right. He made an instrument which called the telescope. Galileo could see many stars through it. When he turned his telescope to the sky, the moon was not, as man had thought, perfectly smooth but had mountains, craters and valleys. He also discovered that the earth and the planets did indeed move around the sun. 31. Which one was the right theory about solar system according to Galileo? The sun, the stars, and all other things in the sky revolved around the earth. The stars and planets indeed moved around the sun, but the sun moved around the earth. The stars and planets indeed moved around the earth and also the sun moved around the earth. The moon was not smooth as man had thought. The sun, the stars, and other things in the sky went around the sun.

Text 9 How this universe began has long been discussed by scientists. One theory, called the big bang theory, states that 10,000,000,000 (billion) or more years ago, the universe began as a tremendous, tightly-packed, super-giant atom. This atom exploded, and form it came all the material of which the universe is made. The other theory held by many astronomers is called the steady state theory. According to this theory, new atoms are continuously being created in the universe. When these atoms are created, they move together, forming dust. The dust in turn shrinks into galaxies, which then move out into curved space. 32. What does the text explain about? It is about the theories of universe.

Text 12 Although it is not without flaws, City of Angels stands out from the dreary succession of recent Hollywood remakes of European movies. This is partly due to Dana Stevens’ screenplay and Brad Silberling’s direction, which grab hold of the theme of director Wim Wenders’ 1987 film Wings of Desire and head off very much in their own direction with it. Most of all, however, City of Angels pleases because it is quite simply so surprising for a mainstream Hollywood movie. Designer Shay Cunliffe hits the tone precisely, with the angels in baggy suits and long black duster coats, which are especially effective when they gather in some of their preferred meeting places – the beach at dawn and dusk, in the city library during the day – invisible to all but each other (and us).  42.

Text 13 Hurricanes generally occur in the North Atlantic fromMay through November, with the peak of the hurricane season in September; only rarely will they occur from December through April in that part of the ocean. The main reason for the occurrence of hurricanes during this period is that the temperature on the water’s surface is at its warmest and the humidity of the air is at its highest. Of the tropical storms that occur each year in the North Atlantic, only about five, on the average, are powerful enough to be called hurricanes. To be classified as a hurricane, a tropical storm must hace winds reaching speeds of at least 117 kilometers per hour, but the winds are often much stronger than that; the winds of intense hurricanes can easily surpass 240 kilometers per hour. 46. The passage mainly discusses ....

Text 14 The human heart is divided into four chambers, each of which serves its own function in the cycle of pumping blood. The atria are the thin-walled upper chambers that gather blood as it flows from the vein between heartbeats. The ventricles are the thick-walled lower chambers that receive blood from the atria and push it into the arteries with each contraction of the heart. The left atrium and ventricle work separately from those on the right. The role of the chambers on the right side of the heart is to receive oxygen-depleted blood from the blood tissues and send it on to the lungs; the chambers on the left side of the heart then receive the oxygen-enriched blood from the lungs and send it back out to the body tissues. 48. The passage indicates that the ventricles …. have relatively thin walls send blood to the atria are above the atria force blood into the arteries
