Babies can remember sounds they heard in the womb more than a year after birth, as a study by Leicester University has found. The research demonstrated that one-year-old babies recognize music they were exposed to up to three months before birth. Previously, experts thought that babies could only remember anything for a month or two. The study was called The Child Of Our Time, and involved a small group of mothers playing a single piece of music to their babies for the last three months before birth. The music was chosen by the mother and included classical, pop and reggae.
More than a year later, 11 of the babies were tested and showed a preference for the selected music compared with very similar pieces of music they had not heard before. The baby's preference was demonstrated by the amount of time spent looking towards the source of the music. A control group of children tested with the same pieces of music showed no preference for a particular piece.
It is possible to infer from the passage that
----.
A) the music selections should have been more varied
B) these kind of studies have no proof

In the 1940s DDT was found to be an excellent way to control insects. It cost little to produce and was not found to harm humans. So it was widely used for people and crops. But then it was found that DDT stayed in the environment for many years. It thinned the shells of unborn birds and led to health problems for other animals. So the support for the common use of it was ended. But now again the use of DDT in homes is supported to control malaria, as indoor spraying is useful to quickly reduce the number of infections caused by malaria-carrying mosquitoes. DDT presents no health risk when used correctly. But it should be used only inside houses and huts, not outside and not for agriculture use. Malaria sickens five hundred million people and results in more than one million deaths every year. Each day, an estimated three thousand babies and young children die from it. The large majority of deaths are in Africa, south of the Sahara. But critics of DDT argue that DDT is not as effective as people might think. For instance, some African mosquitoes have already developed resistance to it. It seems that DDT should be only one tool among many for insect control.
According to the passage, one advantage of DDT was thought to be its ----.
It is stated that DDT lost popularity --.
A) because it could not control insects
B) since it became too expensive
C) due to its harmful effects on a variety of animals
D) because it controlled malaria
E) when it was found that it was not effective on mosquitoes

In 1764, there was a serious quarrel over taxation between the British government and its colonies in
America. The British government continued to think
of the colonists as British subjects. In 1700, there had
been only 200.000 colonists, but by 1770 this number
rose to 2.5 million. Obviously, such large numbers
needed to be dealt with carefully. Some American
colonists decided that it was not lawful for the British
government to tax them without their agreement.
Political opinion in Britain was divided. Some felt that
the tax was fair because the money would be used to
pay for the defence of the American colonies against
French attack. But several important politicians
agreed with the colonists that there should be “no
taxation without representation”. Hence, in 1773, at
the port of Boston, a group of colonists threw a
shipload of tea into the sea rather than pay tax on it.
The event became known as “the Boston Tea Party”.
The British government responded by closing the
port. But the colonists then decided to prevent British
goods from entering America until the port was
opened again. The colonists’ action was regarded as
a rebellion, and the British government decided to
defeat it by force. Thus, the American War of
Independence got underway. The war lasted from
1775 until 1783. The British government had no
respect for the colonists’ fighting ability. The result
was a disastrous defeat for the British forces. At the
end of the war, Britain lost all the American colonies
except Canada.
It is pointed out in the passage that not every politician in Britain ----.
A) supported the British government’s decision to
tax the American colonists against their will
B) believed that the French would dare to invade
the American colonies
C) agreed that “the Boston Tea Party” jeopardized
trade with the colonies
D) was convinced that the British forces in America
were strong enough to defeat the colonists
E) was of the opinion that the American colonists
would ever dream of independence

C) Nobody expected the new president, who had been elected by a vast majority of shareholders, to make such radical changes in the structure of the company.
D) No one thought he would win so much support from the shareholders and president since he had made so many radical changes in the company structure.
E) The company administration is expected to undergo much radical change now that the shareholders have shown their overwhelming support of him and made him president.
