[Questions 1-10]

Identify the word(s) that best fill(s) each of the spaces in the text below.

President Bush told Americans last night that failure in Iraq would be a disaster. The disaster is Mr. Bush's war, and he has already failed. Last night was his chance to stop offering more fog and be honest with ( 1 ), and he did not take it. Americans needed to hear a clear plan to ( 2 ) United States troops from the disaster that Mr. Bush created. What they got was more gauzy talk of victory in the war on terrorism and of creating a "young democracy" in Iraq. In other words. a way for this president to serve ( 3 ) his term and leave his mess for the next onet. Mr. Bush did acknowledge that some of his previous tactics had failed. But even then, the president sounded as if he ( 4 ) an accidental tourist in Iraq. He described the failure of last year's effort to pacify Baghdad as if the White House and the Pentagon bore no responsibility. In any case, Mr. Bush's excuses were tragically inadequate. The nation needs an eyes-wide-open ( 5 ) that the only goal left is to get the U.S. military out of this civil war in a way that could minimize the slaughter of Iraqis and reduce the chances that the chaos Mr. Bush has ( 6 ) will engulf Iraq's neighbors. Before Mr. Bush spoke, Americans knew he planned to send more troops to pacify lawless Baghdad. Mr. Bush's task was to justify that ( 7 ) by acknowledging that there was no military solution to this war and outlining the political role that the military would be ( 8 ). We were waiting for him to detail the specific steps that he would expect of the Iraqis, set clear deadlines that they would be expected ( 9 ), and explain what the intended to do if they again failed. Instead, he said he had warned the Iraqis that if they didn't come ( 10 ), they would lose the faith of the American people. Has Mr. Bush really not noticed that the American people long ago lost faith in the Iraqi government - and in him as well?

[Questions 11-15]
Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow it.

Research in the United Kingdom has shown that among men there is a significant increase in heart attack deaths over Christmas and the New Year holidays. This may be attributed to people ignoring symptoms and delaying seeking help because of the inconvenience of getting to a hospital during the holidays. Others who are traveling may take longer to find the right medical help. Ellen Mason, a nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "It is well known that in cold weather the blood is thicker, which increases the risk of a heart attack, but it is likely that the delay in seeking medical assistance over the holidays may lead to more deaths." Men's health expert Dr. Mike Ingram warns that, for men in particular, the festive period can be a dangerous one, with the risk of heart attack significantly increased. And he blames that on increased seasonal colds and flus causing increased breathing problems, excessive physical exertion, overeating, cold weather, lack of sleep, emotional stress, excess salt and alcohol. "The biggest killer of men is heart disease and too many men are dying from this condition by failing to tackle their risks," said Dr. Ingram. He said men could be their own worst enemies, adding, "If a man wants to enjoy a long and active life he needs to focus more on reducing his heart attack risk factors. He should stop smoking, drink in moderation, cut out the heavy fatty food, exercise regularly and watch the blood pressure. Too challenging? Then start by cutting out salt."

 

11. The passage clearly states that:
① far more men than women die in winter.
② salt is particularly bad for your health.
③ multiple factors contribute to increased male majority in winter.
④ a heart attack in cold weather is almost invariably fatal.

 

12. The passage clearly suggests that:
① a heart attack must be treated without delay as soon as it occurs.
② hospitals in the United Kingdom are often shut at Christmas.
③ it is unwise to travel while having a heart attack.
④ some people avoid going to hospital in winter.

 

13. The underlined passage "men could be their own worst enemies" suggests that:
① men blame each other bitterly for what happens to them.
② we are all responsible for our own health care provision.
③ hating other people is bad for your health.
④ if a man persists in a risky lifestyle, he only has himself to blame for the consequences.

 

14. The passage does NOT say or suggest that:
① the largest single cause of male deaths is heart problems.
② breathing difficulties can bring about heart trouble.
③ people often drink too much at Christmastime.
④ it is impossible for older men to avoid heart attacks.

 

15. That last sentence suggests starting by cutting out salt probably because
① salt is especially dangerous.
② that is an easy first step.
③ that is a particularly difficult thing to do.
④ food without salt tastes better.

The owners of fishing boats do not want to admit it, but there will be virtually no fish in the seas of the world by the middle of the 21st century if current trends of gross overfishing continue, according to a major scientific study. Stocks have collapsed in nearly one-third of sea fisheries, and the rate of decline is accelerating. Writing in the journal Science, an international team of researchers says fishery decline is closely tied to a broader loss of marine biodiversity. Yet a greater use of protected areas could safeguard existing stocks, giving them time to replenish. "The way we have been using the oceans so far is that we hope and assume there will always be another species to exploit after we've completely gone through the last one," said research leader Boris Worm. "What we're highlighting is there is a finite number of stocks; we have gone through one-third, and we are going to get through the rest, unless restrictions are imposed." One of the other scientists on the project added: "Unless we fundamentally change the way we manage all the ocean species together, as working ecosystems, then this century will be the last century when people can eat wild seafood of any kind." In 2003, 29% of the world's open sea fisheries were in a state of collapse, defined as a decline to less than 10% of their original yield. Bigger vessels, better nets, and new technology for spotting fish are not bringing the world's fleets bigger returns - in fact, the global catch fell by 13% between 1994 and 2003. Fish is already more expensive than beef in many countries; before long it will simply be unavailable to any but millionaires.

 

16. The passage suggests that fish are being taken from the sea
① moderately ② ruthlessly ③ circumspectly ④ protectively

 

17. Until now, people have tended to assume that fish supplies are
① inexhaustible ② ineluctable ③ inescapable ④ inextricable

 

18. The scientists quoted say that fishing should be restricted in some parts of the sea because
① fish need places where they can rest and play.
② overfished stocks need to be protected so they can increase again.
③ biodiversity is affected by too many fishing boats working.
④ there are no fish left there.

 

19. The fact that the global catch fell by 13% between 1994 and 2003 is quoted as a proof that
① fishing techniques have improved greatly.
② the market for fish is diminishing rapidly.
③ fishing has become much more lucrative.
④ fish stocks have diminished significantly everywhere.

 

20. The passage includes a clear suggestion that
① the owners of fishing boats are very anxious about the future.
② there will always be new species of fish that can be caught.
③ not only fish but every kind of marine creature is at risk.
④ millionaires prefer fish to beef.

[21-25]
Sir Nicholas Stern, a distinguished development economist and former chief
economist at the World Bank, is not a man given to hyperbole. Yet he says, "Our actions over the coming few decades could create risks of major disruption to economic and social activity, later in this century and in the next, on a scale similar to those associated with the great wars and the economic depression of the first half of the 20th Century." His recently published "Stern Report" gives prescriptions for how to minimize this economic and social disruption. His central argument is that spending large sums of money now on measures to reduce carbon emissions will bring dividends on a colossal scale. However, he warns that we are too late to prevent any deleterious consequences from climate change (commonly known as "global warming"). He believes it is practical to aim for a stabilization of greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere of 500 to 550 ppm (parts per million) by 2050 - which is double pre-industrial levels and compares with 430 ppm today. Even to stabilize at that level, every country's emissions per unit of gross domestic product would need to be cut by an average of three-quarters by 2050. The costs of these changes should be around 1% of global GDP by 2050. The way to look at this 1% is as an investment, because the costs of not taking this action are unimaginably large.

 

21. The underlined words given to hyperbole could be replaced without change of meaning by
① fond of flattery ② inclined to mendacity
③ accustomed to exaggerate ④ liking ambiguity

 

22. The "Stern Report" says that the steady increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere must be
① augmented ② stopped ③ contradicted ④ denied

 

23. One of the principal arguments in the "Stern Report" is that money spent on this issue now will later bring
① imminent disaster ② unacceptable debts
③ immense profits ④ unforeseeable problems

 

24. The text tells you clearly that the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere today
① is virtually the same as several centuries ago.
② has become disastrously high.
③ has already been stabilized.
④ will continue to increase for some time whatever is done.

 

25. The last sentence in the text suggests that
① uncontrolled global warming will bring untold disaster.
② carbon emissions cannot be restricted by any means.
③ no one is prepared to accept this proposition.
④ the cost of cutting carbon emissions is negligible.

[26-30]
The West is unforgivably ignorant about China's shortcomings and weaknesses, which leads it vastly to exaggerate the extent of what is often termed the Chinese "threat." China is certainly emerging as a leading exporter, but essentially it is simply serving as a sub-contractor to the West. It has not overcome the way globalization is heavily skewed in favor of the rich developed nations. Its productivity is poor; it lacks international champion brands of its own; its innovation record is lamentable; it relies far too much on exports and investment to propel its economy. To characterize China as an unstoppable force whose economic model is unbeatable and set to swamp us is to make a first-order mistake. Rather, the West needs to understand the depth of China's problems and the possibility, if not probability, of an economic and political convulsion as China seeks their resolution What the West must avoid is a position where it forces the Chinese leaders' hand and China retreats towards economic isolation, freezing the reform process. The challenge to the global trading and financial system would be profound; not only would an import!ant source of global demand be scaled back, a key source of financing for the US trade deficit would be removed and China's progress would be shaken to its core.

 

26. The underlined words a first-order mistake can be replaced without change of meaning by
① a primitive error ② a major misjudgment
③ a preliminary dereliction ④ a primal flaw

 

27. This passage makes it plain that in the writer's opinion China
① is increasingly a threatening rival to the West
② cannot maintain it current economic development much longer.
③ is embarked on a course of unstoppable economic development.
④ is far from being a threat to the developed nations.

 

28. By using the phrase the possibility, if not probability, the author is saying that an economic and political convulsion in China is
① almost impossible in today's situation.
② quite unthinkable in the immediate future but likely later.
③ perfectly conceivable and even to some degree likely to occur.
④ a sure bet with almost no chance of avoiding it.

 

29. The conclusion of the whole passage is that
① the West ignores the threat that China represents at its peril.
② the West benefits from the current system and it should continue.
③ the West should be giving China more economic aid.
④ the West must be preparing for the rapid collapse of China's economy.

 

30. The passage tells you clearly that
① Chinese companies are developing almost no new technologies or products.
② Chinese companies are rapidly becoming famous for high-quality products.
③ Chinese products are not able to compete with those from poorer nations.
④ China is import!ing far more than it is exporting.

 

[31-35]
In the late 1870s Cezanne entered the phase known as "constructive," (31) characterized by the grouping of parallel, hatched brush strokes in formations that build up a sense of mass in themselves. He (32) continued in this style until the early 1890s, when the intervals between figures and objects took on the appearance of live cells of space and atmosphere. Finally, he (33) concentrated on a few basic subjects; still lifes of studio objects built around such recurring elements as apples, statuary, and tablecloths; studies of bathers, based upon the male model and drawing upon a combination of memory, earlier studies and sources in the art of the past; and (34) successive views of the Mont Sainte-Victoire, a nearby landmark, painted from his studio looking across the intervening valley. The landscapes of the final years, much (35) affected by Cezanne's contemporaneous practice in watercolor, have a more transparent and unfinished look, while the last figure paintings are at once more somber and spiritual in mood.

 

31. characterized
① entitled ② adopted ③ dignified ④ distinguished

 

32. continued
① pursued ② persevered ③ returned ④ maintained

 

33. concentrated
① thought ② intended ③ focused ④ gazed

 

34. successive
① impressive ② superimposed ③ repeated ④ adjacent

 

35. affected
① influenced ② persuaded ③ inclined ④ derived

36. ( ) up to the fifth floor with a heavy rope, the movers brought the piano in through the window.
① Hoisted ② Hoisting ③ Having hoisted ④ Having hoisted it

 

37. Puzzling ( ) the manuscript was, the scholars found it a fabulous find.
① as ② although ③ because ④ if

 

38. It is widely believed that housing in Boston is affordable; ( ), one-bedroom apartments can cost up to $2,000 a month.
① in contrast ② on the contrary ③ in comparison ④ in addition

 

39. It is foolish to think that a leader's skills can be applied to all occasions, that they can be taught outside a historical context, or ( ) as a "secret" of control in every situation.
① he can learn them ② they can learn them
③ they learn ④ that they can be learned
