Part Four : Reading (Items 46-60)

A "terrifying" raptor-like dinosaur roamed what is now
Australia's outback about 98 million years ago, newfound fossils
show. Scientists have confirmed for the first time that Australia
was once home to a theropod dinosaur that was big, fast and
terrifying, not unlike the Velociraptor, featured in the movie,
Jurassic Park. It was an 1,100 pound meat-eating predator with
three slashing claws on each of its powerful forelimbs, and its
believed to have stalked the land that is now Australia 98 (m)
million years ago. Fossilized remnants of its limb bones, ribs,
jaw and fangs were found along with bones of two newly
discovered species of long-necked herbivore dinosaurs.
Those dinosaurs each weighed up to 17 and 22 tons.
Their remains have been found in Australia s state of Queensland,
the first such find in nearly 30 years. The bones of all three
are on display--two at the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum
of Natural History in Winton, and the third at Queensland
Museum in Brisbane. The two gigantic 52-foot (16-meter) long
plant-eating sauropods, were until now unknown types of
titanosaur, the largest dinosaurs that ever lived. All three lived in
the mid-Cretaceous period. The Cretaceous period extended from
145 (m) million years to 65 (m) million years ago. It s the first
substantial find of large dinosaurs in Australia to be revealed in
28 years.

Items 51-55
Salads of the future may still be served in bowls, but their
ingredients might be grown in skyscrapers. That's the hope of
scientists and architects who are erecting a unique strategy to
feed a swelling population on a planet with finite farmland. "In
another 40 years, there'll be another three billion people. That's
the problem," said Dickson Despommier, a professor of public
health at Columbia University in New York. "We have to find
another way to feed them."
One solution, Despommier believes, is to grow
everything from salad greens to staple grains year-round in highrise
buildings at the hearts of urban centers. This so-called
vertical farming could put food within easy reach for billions of
people while reducing carbon emissions from shipping crops
across continents and oceans, he notes. "The concept is based on
technologies already in use throughout the world, mainly hightech
greenhouses," Despommier said. For example, many
existing greenhouses use hydroponics, a technique for growing
crops in smaller spaces using nutrient-enriched water instead of
soil.
51. What is the tone of the context?
1. suggestive 2. objective
3. informative 4. Manipulative
52. Which of the following should be the best title for the text?
1. The Breakthrough of Food Science

1. We should consider planting seeds in high-rise buildings
2. In another 40 years, all food supply will be shortage
3. Greenhouse technology is not common used around
the world.
4. Salads ingredients must be grown in skyscrapers
54. Why does Dickson Despommier refer to high-rise buildings?
1. he believes this is the only survival of world population.
2. he believes vertical farming will reduce air pollution and
feed people enough.
3. he believes high-rise buildings will increase carbon emission
4. he has faith in modern technology
55. Which word best describe erecting?
1. eradicate 2. eliminate
3. exterminate 4. construct
Items 56-60
China's environmental problems remain serious with
local governments not putting enough pressure on businesses to
control pollution. Efforts to toughen environment laws have not
done enough to fix the widespread problems for China's air,
lakes and rivers. The general situation of environmental
pollution does not allow China to be optimistic. The
fundamental way to overcome this is to continue to press
enterprises to reduce pollution emissions through technology
and management. Local governments, however, often face a
conflict of interest because they benefit economically from
heavily polluting industries.
Nearly a quarter of the monitoring stations set up along
major rivers, such as the Yangtze and Yellow, reported the worst
water quality on China's six-level scale. Nearly 40 percent of the
water in 28 major lakes also registered level six ratings --
meaning it was too polluted for even farm irrigation. In urban
areas 90 percent of river water and half of underground water is
polluted, the report said.
56. How is the condition of contaminated water in China?
1. still drinkable
2. can use for household work.
3. can use for farming
4.cannot use at all
57. Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
1. The Crisis of Yangtze and Yellow River
2. China s Environment Problems Serious
3. The Seriousness of Bribery of Government Official in
China
4. The Increasing of China Environmental Problems
58. What s the writer purpose?
1. To alarm people not to drink or use water from contaminate
water.
2. To divert attention from environmentalist
3. To inquiry people if government official putting enough
pressure on businesses to control pollution
4. To inform people of the seriousness of environmental
problems
59. What is the best solution for this problem?
1. move government official to an inactive post
2. ask for more corporation from local people
3. put tougher measure on enterprises to halt dumping waste
into river and lake
4. put tougher measure on enterprises to use proper technology
and management to control pollution
60. Who does this news mainly target?
1. authority in China
2. adolescents
3. general people
4. foreigners who live outside China
