Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage One:A l0-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy did well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move."Master," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?""This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you Il ever need to know," the master replied.Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.Several months later, the master took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be outmatched. Concerned about the boy, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the master came forward."No," the master insisted, "Let him continue."Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a fatal mistake. He dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy won the match. He was the champion.On the way home, the boy and his master reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind."Master, how did I win the tournament with only one move?""You won for two reasons," the master answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."51.

InexperienceD. The time-out.54. Why did the master only teach the boy one move?A. The boy could not do other moves with only one arm.B. It was the only move the master knew well.C.

It is very important to have a good teacher.C. Even a disabled person can win in a judo match.D. To master judo one only needs to learn one difficult move.Passage Two:"Wars of the next century will be fought over water." This latest warning comes from the World Bank, the largest international investor in water projects.So is the world running out of the stuff? No. The total quantity of fresh water on the Earth exceeds all possible human needs. But tell that to the government of Jordan, which has drawn its underground water almost dry since Israel diverted much of its largest water source, the river Jordan. Or to the millions of women in the African countryside walking for hours every day to collect water from polluted wells and muddy river beds.The answer is that there is no world water crisis but many severe local water crises. There are crises of under investment, of political conflict over rivers that cross national boundaries, and ofplain idiotic water management.The Middle East is the likeliest place for future water wars. A long-term settlement between Israel and its neighbors will depend at least as much on fair allocation of water as of land. Iraq and Syria watch and wait as Turkey builds dams in the headwaters of the Euphrates. Elsewhere, India angers Bangladesh by diverting to its fields the thin dry-season flow of the Ganges.Meanwhile, the best places for dams are mostly used up. Engineering and environmental costs of developing new water sources will be much higher than in the past. The human costs too are great. 16 million people have lost their homes and land to man-made lakes in India. China will have to move one million people to make way for the Three Gorges dam on the Yangtze, on which construction work began this year.But the solution to the world's water crisis lies less in supply than in demand. The bank has spent half a century building dams, but the water problem in most countries results mainly from inefficient use of water.Israeli scientists have long since understood this. They have revolutionized their country's use of water, cutting out much of the waste in watering crops, which in many countries accounts for 90% of water use. Waste takes other forms. Most city supply systems leak 30-50% of their water underground. And most urban sewage -- a vast potential source of recycled water -- passes untreated into rivers.In most countries, water is delivered at prices that reflect only a small part of the real cost. The World Bank is now calling for proper water pricing. The time is coming when water must be treated as a valuable resource, like oil, not a free one like air.56. According to the passage, what will be the probable cause of wars in the next century?A. Food.B. Oil.C. Land.D. Water.57. The world's total fresh water supply .A. is more than adequate for human needs.B. falls short of human demands.C. is likely to run out in the next century.D. can't be renewed once it is used up.58. Which of the following statements is true?A. There is a world water crisis.B. There is great improvement in the fresh water supply.C. There is local fresh water shortage.D. There is no way to solve the present water problems.59. According to the passage, future water wars will most probably break out .A. between India and Bangladesh.B. in the Middle East.C. between Iraq and Syria.D. wherever there is shortage of water.60. According to the author, peace between Israel and its neighbors will not come unless .A. the water problem is solved.B. the UN takes part in the talks.C. the USA acts as the peace maker.D. all Arab countries join in the peace talks.Passage Three:Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the minds' interpretation of what the senses -- in this case our eves -- tell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.61. Seeing and perceiving are .A. the same action.B. two separate actions.C. two actions carried on entirely by the eyes.D. several actions that take place at different times.62. Perceiving is an action that takes place .A. in our eyes.B. only when we think very hard about something.C. only under the direction of a psychologist.D. in every person's mind.63. Perception involves what .A. our senses tell us.B. our minds interpret.C. we see with our eyes onlyD. both A and B.64.People perceive different things about the same scene because .A. they see different things.B. they cannot agree about things.C. some have better eyesight.D. none of these.65.Psychologists study perception by .A. setting up many experiments.B. asking each other what they see.C. asking each other what they found outD. none of the abovePart IV Mistake spotting ( 10%)Directions: Each of the following sentences has four underlined parts and marked A,B,C and D.
