Superstitions grow out of man's attempts to explain the unknown. When man disproves the old belief, and some still cling to the belief, it becomes a superstition. In Western Europe, prior to 600 B.C., man considered rabbits to be sacred, because of their belief that spirits inhabited the bodies of animals, and also because of their belief that man directly descended from some of these animals. Later, the ancient European Celts adopted portions of the older belief, that rabbits were sacred, and that spirits inhabited their bodies. The Celts, based upon the fact that these animals spent an inordinate amount of time in their underground burrows, held the belief that the rabbits' bodies were inhabited by underground spirits with whom they communicated. Another reason the Celts held the rabbit to be sacred, was because of their prowess in the field of reproduction. Since the rabbit itself was considered to be lucky, it follows that any of its body parts would also be considered lucky. People selected the rabbit's foot for good luck.
51. The reading passage mainly discusses ----.
A) the historical background of superstitions
B) the psychological motives behind superstitions
C) the history of a particular superstition
D) the superstitions in ancient Europe
E) the rabbit’s foot and its relationship with another superstition
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.
According to the passage, it is hoped that ----.
A) the amount of liquid water on Mars will be
sufficient for life on the planet
B) in the future only Europa will become man’s new
home in the universe
C) one day Earth-like life will be discovered outside
our own planet
D) living beings will be found on one of Jupiter’s
satellites
E) the search for extraterrestrial life in the universe
will never be disrupted

Most of the power generated by mankind has its origins in the sun. It was sunlight that nurtured the early life that became today's oil, gas and coal. It is the solar heating of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans that fuels wave power, wind farms and hydroelectric schemes. But using the sun's energy directly to generate power is rare. Solar cells account for less than 1% of the world's electricity production. Recent technological improvements, however, may boost this figure. The root of the problem is that most commercial solar cells are made from silicon, and silicon is expensive. Cells can be made from other cheaper materials, but these are not as efficient as those made from silicon.
The author of the passage implies that the amount of the sun’s energy ...............
A) affects the oceans most
B) has little impact upon such powers as wave power
C) that can be immediately used to generate power is insufficient
D) may not be as useful in the future as it is today
E) has nothing whatsoever to do with hydroelectric schemes

Recent activity in several US church communities has seemed almost unbelievable: churchgoers have gathered around huge fires and cheered as they cast Harry Potter books into the flames. They fear that the incredibly popular series about a school for young wizards is spurring children and adolescents toward a life of witchcraft and onto the dangerous path toward Satanism. For these congregations, J. K. Rowling's books are none other than the work of the devil herself. To most people, however, the Harry Potter books and films are merely compelling adventure stories, not a threat to children's psyches. But what has been forgotten in the excitement of 'Pottermania' is that boys and girls have been fascinated by magic and sorcery for generations. Surveys about magical practices among adolescents vary widely, but some indicate that as many as 44 per cent have shown some slight, passing interest in it. Although satanically motivated violence occasionally makes headlines, research shows that less than 5 per cent of young people take part in more extensive witchcraft, and very few end up in the kind of organized devil worship that can lead to such acts as ritual murder.
The attitude of the writer of the passage towards the burning of the Harry Potter books by various church communities is -----.
A) an understanding one, as many young people have been led astray by these books
B) one of deep anger
C) sympathetic as basically he believes they are right about the ill effects of the Harry Potter books
D) one of amazement at their response
E) one of repulsion at their hysteria and fanaticism

The discovery of an ancient tomb in modern China is so commonplace that it often annoys as much as excites, because it can delay construction for months or even years. So when archaeologists were called in last May to check structures discovered during the expansion of a bone meal factory in a southern suburb of Beijing, they weren't expecting to find anything of great interest. To the archaeologists' surprise, the structures were the remains of two traditional domed tombs, each over a thousand years old. One was flooded and badly damaged, but the other contained beautifully-preserved wall frescoes from the 10th century. 'It's only recently that the Chinese have been publishing artifacts from ancient tombs, and it's unusual to see them in the Western press,' says Dr Jessica Rawson, Professor of Oriental Art and Archaeology at Oxford University.
