The most significant political change in eastern
communism in
East and
the most prosperous of the Soviet satellite countries,
stagnation and environmental degradation. Waves of
East Germans registered their discontent with
worsening conditions by massive illegal emigration to
the West. This exodus together with evidence of
widespread official corruption led to the resignation of
Honecker. His successor, Egon Krenz, promised
reforms, but he was nevertheless faced with
continuing protests and continuing mass emigration.
In the end, on 4 November 1989, the government, in
a move that acknowledged its powerlessness to hold
its citizens captive, opened its border with
Germans to travel to the West. In a matter of days,
the Berlin Wall, which had been the embodiment of
the Cold War, the Iron Curtain, and the division of
East from West, was demolished by groups of
ordinary citizens. Jubilant crowds from both sides
walked through the gaping holes that now permitted
men, women, and children to take the few steps that
symbolized the return to freedom and a chance for
national unity.

A) Honecker and Krenz were fully committed to the
ultimate unification of East and
B)
prosperity that the other Soviet satellite states
became envious of its economic success

with West Germany so that the effects of the
Cold War could be eliminated

Today scientists draw attention to some of the potential consequences of global warming on wildlife. They point out that each species reacts to changes in
temperature differently. Some species will undoubtedly become extinct, particularly those with narrow temperature requirements, those confined to small reserves or parks, and those living in fragile ecosystems, whereas other species may survive in greatly reduced numbers and ranges. Ecosystems
considered most vulnerable to species loss in the short term are polar seas, coral reefs, mountains, coastal wetlands,tundra, taiga, and temperate forests. On the other hand, some species may be able to migrate to new environments or adapt themselves to the changing conditions in their present habitats. Also, some species may be unaffected by global warming, whereas others may emerge from it as winners, with greatly expanded numbers and ranges. Those considered most likely to prosper include weeds, pests, and disease-carrying organisms that are already common in many different
environments.
It is clear from the passage that global warming .----
A) has caused much decline in the number of many rare species
B) is particularly harmful to coastal wetlands and coral reefs
C) has increased dangerously and extensively throughout the world
D) has already forced many species to migrate to new environments

Alcohol is liquid distilled product of fermented fruits, grains and vegetables used as solvent, antiseptic and sedative moderate potential for abuse. Possible effects are intoxication, sensory alteration, and/or anxiety reduction. Symptoms of overdose staggering, odour of alcohol on breath, loss of coordination, slurred speech, dilated pupils, fatal alcohol syndrome (in babies), and/or nerve and liver damage. Withdrawal Syndrome is first sweating, tremors, and then altered perception, followed by psychosis, fear, and finally auditory hallucinations. Indications of possible mis-use are confusion, disorientation, loss of motor nerve control, convulsions, shock, shallow respiration, involuntary defecation, drowsiness, respiratory depression and possible death. Alcohol is also known as: Booze, Juice, Brew, Vino, and Sauce. You probably know why alcohol is abused some reasons are relaxation, sociability, and cheap high. But did you know that alcohol is a depressant that decreases the responses of the central nervous system. Excessive drinking can cause liver damage and psychotic behaviour. As little as two beers or drinks can impair coordination and thinking. Alcohol is often used by substance abusers to enhance the effects of other drugs. Alcohol continues to be the most frequently abused substance among young adults. It is not a forgettable things that a drunkard is not allowed by his circles because of unfavourable behaviours.

The Copernican revolution began over 500 years ago with the realization that the Earth was not the centre
of the universe, but we still await its grand finale: the anticipated discovery of life elsewhere. Where else
might we find life? The vast scale of the universe makes it virtually certain that there are other Earthlike
settings. In our own solar system, Mars’s distance from the Sun makes it sufficiently Earth-like;
so, especially with increasing evidence for occasional liquid water, many are looking there for the first signs
of extraterrestrial life. Recently, however, a new contender has emerged, and surprisingly it is from
the cold outer solar system: it is Jupiter’s moon Europa. As one of the four satellites of Jupiter,
discovered by Galileo in 1610, Europa is now believed to have water in a liquid state, even though
it is so far from the Sun. Thus, the possibility of liquid water on Europa has opened the door to speculation
about life on this satellite of Jupiter.
It is stated in the passage that currently Mars ----.
A) has been established as the only planet with a
vast amount of water under its surface
B) is being fully explored because, as a planet, it is
so close to the Earth
C) has been partially studied, and so it still
maintains its mystery as a planet
D) has been the main focus of the scientific search
for extraterrestrial life
E) and Europa provide a great deal of evidence for
a better understanding of the solar system

The Renaissance originated in Italy for several
reasons. The most fundamental reason was that Italy
in the later Middle Ages was the most advanced
urban society in all of Europe. Unlike aristocrats north
of the Alps, Italian aristocrats customarily lived in
urban centres rather than in rural castles and
consequently became fully involved in urban public
affairs. Moreover, since the Italian aristocracy built its
palaces in the cities, the aristocratic class was less
sharply set off from the class of rich merchants than
in other European countries. Hence, whereas in
France or Germany most aristocrats lived on the
income from their lands while rich town dwellers,
called bourgeois in French, gained their living from
trade, in Italy so many town-dwelling aristocrats
engaged in banking or mercantile enterprises, and so
many rich mercantile families imitated the manners of
the aristocracy that, by the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries, the aristocracy and upper bourgeoisie
were becoming virtually indistinguishable. For
instance, the noted Florentine family of the Medici,
which had emerged as a family of physicians (as the
name suggests), made its fortune in banking and
commerce, and rose into the aristocracy in the
fifteenth century. Obviously, social mobility as such
brought about a great demand for education in the
skills of reading and counting necessary to become a successful merchant, but the richest and most
prominent families sought above all to find teachers
who would impart to their sons the knowledge and
skills necessary in politics and public life.
According to the passage, it was in Italy that ----.
A) what the French called bourgeois had the
monopoly on banking
B) merchants and aristocrats were clearly set apart
C) banking developed much faster than trade
D) most aristocrats wanted their sons to learn only
the skills associated with politics
E) the rise of the Renaissance first took place
One of the greatest natural catastrophes the world will ever see could be little more than a decade away. The film Super volcano traces the evolution of an enormous volcanic eruption - one that not only wipes out several states of America but that threatens the entire planet. But is such an eruption really possible? Well, super volcanoes certainly aren't fiction. They're a normal part of the way the Earth works and occur perhaps every 50,000 years. Every statistic associated with a super-eruption is always wildly over-exaggerated. Molten magma is blasted out at a rate 140 times greater than the flow of water over the Victoria Falls. Ash and gas are thrown more than 50km upwards to the edge of space before falling over one percent of the Earth's surface. Enough ash would pile up on the ground to bury Britain under a blanket 4m thick. Further, devastating winds carrying burning gas and red hot ash would scour the land surface over an area of 10,000 square kilometres. Worst of all, a super-eruption is followed by a dramatic fall in global temperatures, leading to years and years of bitter cold known as a volcanic winter.
We understand from the passage that the film Super volcano -----.
A) gives a convincing and credible account of an imminent super-eruption
B) has attracted a great deal of attention in the scientific world
C) has aroused little interest among the general public
D) focuses on the horrors of a volcanic winter
E) presents a futuristic account of the effects of a volcanic super-eruption
