Question 1-10;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
In the 1600 s when the Spanish moved into what later ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
was to become the southwestern United States, they encoun-;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
tered the ancestors of the modern-day Pueblo, Hopi, and Zuni ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
peoples. These ancestors, known variously as the Basket ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Makers, the Anasazi, or the Ancient Ones, had lived in the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
area for at least 2,000 years. They were an advanced agricultural ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
people who used irrigation to help grow their crops. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
The Anasazi lived in houses constructed of adobe and ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
wood. Anasazi houses were originally built in pits and were ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
entered from the roof. But around the year 700 A.D., the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Anasazi began to build their homes above ground and join them ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
together into rambling multistoried complexes, which the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Spanish called pueblos or villages. Separate subterranean rooms ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
in these pueblos---known as kivas or chapels---were set aside ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
for religious ceremonials. Each kiva had a fire pit and a hole ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
that was believed to lead to the underworld. The largest pueblos ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
had five stories and more than 800 rooms. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
The Anasazi family was matrilineal, that is, descent was ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
traced through the female. The sacred objects of the family ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
were under the control of the oldest female, but the actual ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
ceremonies were conducted by her brother or son. Women owned ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
the rooms in the pueblo and the crops, once they were harvested.;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
While still growing, crops belonged to the man who, ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
in contrast to most other Native American groups, planted ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
them. The women made baskets and pottery, the men wove ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
textile and crafted turquoise jewelry. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Each village had two chiefs. The village chief dealt with ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
land disputes and religious affairs. The war chief led the men ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
in fighting during occasional conflicts that broke out with ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
neighboring villages and directed the men in community building ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
projects. The cohesive political and social organization of ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
the Anasazi made it almost impossible for other groups to ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
conquer them. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U

Question 10-20;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Barbed wire, first patented in the United States in 1867, ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
played an important part in the development of American ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
farming, as it enabled the settlers to make effective fencing to ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
enclose their land and keep cattle away from their crops. This ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
had a considerable effect on cattle ranching, since the herds no ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
longer had unrestricted use of the plans for grazing, and the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
fencing led to conflict between the farmers and the cattle ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
ranchers. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Before barbed wire came into general use, fencing was often ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
made from serrated wire, which was unsatisfactory because ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
it broke easily when under strain, and could snap in cold ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
weather due to contraction. The first practical machine for ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
producing barbed wire was invented in 1874 by an Illinois ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
farmer, and between then and the end of the century about ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
400 types of barbed wire were devised, of which only about a ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
dozen were ever put to practical use. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Modern barbed wire is made from mild steel high-tensile ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
steel, or aluminum. Mild steel and aluminum barbed wire ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
have two strands twisted together to form a cable which is ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
stronger than single-strand wire and less affected by temperature ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
changes. Single-strand wire, round or oval, is made from ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
high-tensile steel with the barbs crimped or welded on . The ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
steel wires used are galvanized - coated with zinc to make ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
them rustproof. The two wires that make up the line wire or ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
cable are fed separately into a machine at one end. They leave ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
it at the other end twisted-together and barbed. The wire to ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
make the barbs is fed into the machine from the sides and cut ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
to length by knives that cut diagonally through the wire to ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
produce a sharp point. This process continues automatically, ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
and the finished barbed wire is wound onto reels, usually made ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
of wire in length of 400 meters or in weights of up to 50 ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
kilograms. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
A variation of barbed wire is also used for military ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
purposes. It is formed into long coils or entanglements called ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
concertina wire. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U

Question 21-29;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Under certain circumstance the human body must cope ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
with gases at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure. For ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
example, gas pressures increase rapidly during a dive made ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
with scuba gear because the breathing equipment allows divers ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
to stay underwater longer and dive deeper. The pressure ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
exerted on the human body increases by 1 atmosphere for every ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
10 meters of depth in seawater, so that at 30 meters in seawater ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
a diver is exposed to a pressure of about 4 atmospheres. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
The pressure of the gases being breathed must equal the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
external pressure applied to the body; otherwise breathing is very ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
difficult. Therefore all of the gases in the air breathed by a ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
scuba diver at 40 meters are present at five times their usual ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
pressure. Nitrogen which composes 80 percent of the air we ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
breathe usually causes a balmy feeling of well-being at this ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
pressure. At a depth of 5 atmospheres nitrogen causes symp-;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
toms resembling alcohol intoxication known as nitrogen narcosis. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Nitrogen narcosis apparently results from a direct effect ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
on the brain of the large amounts of nitrogen dissolved in the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
blood. Deep dives are less dangerous if helium is substituted ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
for nitrogen, because under these pressures helium does not ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
exert a similar narcotic effect. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
As a scuba diver descends, the pressure of nitrogen in the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
lungs increases. Nitrogen then diffuses from the lungs to the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
blood and from the blood to body tissues. The reverse occurs ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
when the diver surfaces; the nitrogen pressure in the lungs ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
falls and the nitrogen diffuses from the tissues into the blood ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
and from the blood into the lungs. If the return to the surface ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
is too rapid, nitrogen in the tissues and blood cannot diffuse ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
out rapidly enough and nitrogen bubbles are formed . They can ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
cause severe pains, particularly around the joints. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Another complication may result if the breath is held dur-;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
ing ascent. During ascent from a depth of 10 meters, the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
volume of air in the lungs will double because the air pressure at ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
the surface is only half of what it was at 10 meters. This ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
change in volume may cause the lungs to distend and even rup-;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
ture. This condition is called air embolism. To avoid this ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
event, a diver must ascent slowly, never at a rate exceeding ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
the rise of the exhaled air bubbles, and must exhale during ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
ascent. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
21.What does the passage mainly discuss? ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
(A) The equipment divers use ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
(B) The effects of pressure on gases in the human body ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
(C) How to prepare for a deep dive ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U

Question 29-38 ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Each advance in microscopic technique has provided ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
scientists with new perspectives on the function of living ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
organisms and the nature of matter itself. The invention of the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
visible-light microscope late in the sixteenth century introduced a ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
previously unknown realm of single-celled plants and animals.;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
In the twentieth century, electron microscopes have provided ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
direct views of viruses and minuscule surface structures. Now ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
another type of microscope, one that utilize x-rays rather than ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
light or electrons, offers a different way of examining tiny ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
details, it should extend human perception still farther into the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
natural world. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
The dream of building an x-ray microscope dates to ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
1895, its development, however, was virtually halted in the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
1940 s because the development of the electron microscope ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
was progressing rapidly. During the 1940 s electron micro-;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
scopes routinely achieved resolution better than that possible ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
with a visible-light microscope, while the performance of x-ray ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
microscopes resisted improvement. In recent years, however, ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
interest in x-ray microscopes has revived, largely because of ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
advances such as the development of new sources of x-ray ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
illumination. As a result, the brightness available today is ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
millions of times that of x-ray tubes, which, for most of the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
century, were the only available sources of soft x-rays. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
The new x-ray microscopes considerably improve on the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
resolution provided by optical microscopes. They can also be ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
used to map the distribution of certain chemical elements. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Some can form pictures in extremely short times, others hold ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
the promise of special capabilities such as three dimensional ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
imaging. Unlike conventional electron microscopy, x-ray ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
microscopy enables specimens to be kept in air and in water, ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
which means that biological samples can be studied under ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
conditions similar to their natural state. The illumination used, ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
so-called soft x-rays in the wavelength range of twenty to forty ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
angstroms (an angstrom is one ten-billionth of a meter), is ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
also sufficiently penetrating to image intact biological cells in ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
many cases. Because of the wavelength of the x-rays used, ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
soft x-ray microscopes will never match the highest resolution ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
possible with electron microscopes. Rather, their special pro-;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
perties will make possible investigations that will complement ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
those performed with light- and electron-based instruments. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U

Question 40-50 ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric literature is its ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
freshness, its originality of perspective. Satire rarely offers ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
original ideas. Instead it presents the familiar in a new form.;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Satirists do not offer the world new philosophies. What they ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
do is look at familiar conditions from a perspective that makes ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
these conditions seem foolish, harmful or affected. Satire jars ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
us out of complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
many of the values we unquestioningly accept are false. Don ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd, Brave New World ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
ridicules the pretensions of science, A Modest proposal ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
dramatizes starvation by advocating cannibalism. None of these ideas ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
is original. Chivalry was suspect before Cervantes, humanists ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous Huxley ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
and people were aware of famine before Swift. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
It was not the ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
originality of the idea that made these satires popular. It was ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
the manner of expression the satiric method that made them ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
interesting and entertaining. Satires are read because they are ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
morally wholesome or ethically instructive. They are stimulat-ing and refreshing because with commonsense briskness they ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
brush away illusions and secondhand opinions. With spontaneous ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
irreverence, satire rearranges perspectives, scrambles ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
familiar objects into incongruous juxtaposition and speaks in a ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
personal idiom instead of abstract platitude. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Satire exists because there is need for it. It has lived ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
because readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus, an irreverent ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
reminder that they lived in a world of platitudinous thinking, ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
cheap moralizing, and foolish philosophy. Satire serves to prod ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
people into an awareness of truth though rarely to any action ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
on behalf of truth. Satire tends to remind people that much of ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
what they see, hear, and read in popular media is sanctimonious, ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
sentimental, and only partially true. Life resembles in ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
only a slight degree the popular image of it. Soldiers rarely ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
hold the ideals that movies attribute to them, nor do ordinary ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
citizens devote their lives to unselfish service of humanity. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
Intelligent people know these things but tend to forget them ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
when they do not hear them expressed. ;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U
