Passage OneQuestio ns 41 to 45 are based on the follow ing passage.Banks are ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors not to dema nd payme nt all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not sound, that it cannot pay off its depositors,then that fear might causeall the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all the accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would alwaysbe funds to pay those who wan ted theirmoney whe n they wan ted it.Mrs. Elsie Vaughthas told us of a terrify ing bank run that she experie need. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in acity where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks anticipated a run the next day, and sothe officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaughtworked as a teller had eno ugh funds in hand to pay off as many depositors as might apply. The officers simply in structed the tellers to pay on dema nd. Next morni ng a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The len gth of the line convinced many that the bank could not possibly pay off every one. People bega n topush and then to fight for places near the tellers ' windows. Clothing was torn and limbs were broken, but the jam continued for hours. The power of the panic atmosphere is evide nt in the fact that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was sound and could pay out all depositors, n evertheless withdrew the funds in their own acco un ts. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty restra ining herself from doing the same.41. A bank run occurs whe n ________ .A. a bank is closed for one or more daysB. too many depositors attempt to draw out their money at one timeC. there is not eno ugh money to pay all of its depositors at one timeD. employees of a bank take their own funds out of the bank 42.

The esse ntial cause of a run on a bank is ________ .A. loss of con fide neeB. lack of sufficie nt fundsC. crowds of peopleD. in efficie nt tellers44. Which of the followi ng did Mrs. Vaught say ?A. She knew that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many withdrawals would close the bank.C. She was not able to draw out her mon ey.D. She was tempted to draw out her mon ey.45.

It takes a powerful engine to keep an airpla ne up in the air. If you throw a ball upwards as hard as you can, you will no tice that it travels in a curved path before it comes back to the gro un d. If the Earth had no gravity, the ball, in stead of traveli ng in a curve, would move away in a straight line; in fact, it would n ever come back to the gro un d. If the Earth were to lose its pull of gravity, we should all fly off it as it spins round in space. The Earth has a strong pull, but modemrockets going out into space are able to escape from the gravity, because they travel so quickly. With the ball throw n into the air, the height reached by the ball depe nds upon how hard it is throw n. The greater the start in g-speed, the higher the ball will go. If it could be throw n so that it traveled fast eno ugh, the ball would escape into space and n ever come back. Nobody can throw a ball as fast at this, but powerful rocket engines can send spaceships away from the Earth at such a speed that the Earth'sgravity is not able to pull them back. This is how we can now send rockets to the Moo n.46. Gravity holds us dose the Earth's surface, and as a result, _________ . A. we can lift ourselves no more tha n a few feet above the Earth B. n obody can jump a few feet into the air C. no one will be pulled dow nD. any one of us can Jump as high as expected47. What would happe n to a ball throw n upwards if there were no gravity ?A. It would spin round in space.B. It would fly off into spaceC. It would fall into a curved path.D. It would move towards the Earth.48. The ball throw n into the air would n ever come back to the ground ________ A. without such a powerful horiz on tal push B. if it were throw n upwards as hard as you can C. should it travel in a curved path D. were it not for gravityPassage ThreeQuestio ns 51 to 55 are based on the follow ing passage.Does a bee know what is going on its mind when it navigates its way to distant foodsources and back to the hive, using polarized sun light and the tiny magnet it carries as an aid Or is the bee just a mach ine (Un able to do its mathematics and dance itsIanguage in any other way to use Donald Griffin ' s term) Does a bee have “ awareness ” or to use a phrase I like better, can a bee thi nk and imagi ne?There is an experiment for this, or at least an observation, made long ago by Karl Von Frisch and49. The height the ball will reach depe nds on _________ . A. the escape velocity velocity C. its starti ng velocityspeed50. What is it that makes it possible to put a spaceship into orbit A. the Earth's gravity pullC. a powerful engine rocket engineB. the limit ingD. its traveling B. a strongD. the powerfulmore recently confirmed by James Gould at Princeton, biologists who wish to study such things as bees to fly from the hive to one or another special place. To do this, they begin by placing a source of sugar very close to the hive so that the bees can learn what the game is about. Then, at regular intervals, the dish or whatever is moved progressively farther and farther from the hive. Eventually, the target is being moved 100 feet or more at a jump, very far from the hive. Sooner or later, while this process is going on, the geologists shifting thedish of sugar will find the bees are out there waiting for them precisely where the next position had been planned. This is an uncomfortable observation to make.51. Which of the following is the best title for the passage ？A. The Bee Hive: Nature ' s Candy ShopB. Testing the Awareness of BeesC. Navigational Techniques of Birds and InsectsD. Behaviorists Versus Biologists: A Zoological Debate52. In the second paragraph why is Karl Von Frisch mentioned ？A. To introduce his observation on bee behavior.B. To contrast his theories with those of James Gould.C. To give credit to his description of the bee hive.D. To support the argument that bees use sunlight to navigate.53. According to the author, why was sugar used in the study ？A. To keep the bees nourished and healthy during the experiment.B. To train the bees to travel to a particular place.C. To reward the bees for performing the experiment correctly.D. To ensure that the bees did not sting the scientists.54. The result of the experiment explained in the passage seems to indicate which of the following ？A. Research using bees is too dangerous to be conducted successfully.B. Bees are unable to navigate beyond 100 feet of their hive.C. Scientists can teach bees to speak to people.D. Bees are able to perform limited reasoning tasks.55. Which of the following best describes the format of the passage ？A. a response to criticismB. a comparison of two competing theoriesC. a questi on followed by a possible an swerD. a positi on supported by scie ntific debateSection 2Directions: Read the following passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (A) or false (B).
