As with all revolutions, the causes of the American Revolution which separated the original thirteen American colonies from Great Britain were social, economic and political and so inextricably interwoven that it is difficult to appraise them. First there was the distance from Great Britain and the environment of a new country which, whether they willed it or not, had gradually over a period of 150 years turned Englishmen into Americans. The older stock was largely English but the bulk of them, as a contemporary historian commented, “knew little of the mother country, having only heard of her as a distant kingdom, the rulers of which had in the preceding century persecuted and banished their ancestors to the woods of America”. With each generation and each move westward old contacts were broken. Furthermore, large groups of colonists had come from Germany, Ireland and other parts of Europe and had no ties with England and, in the case of the Irish, no affection.
The writer makes the point that it is very hard to -----.
A) assess the separate causes of the American Revolution because they are so complex
B) justify the American Revolution historically
C) relate the American Revolution to the economic circumstances of the time
D) account for the political causes of the American Revolution
E) explain the social implications of the American Revolution on Britain
In England, transportation had improved a great deal during the years before 1830, but moving heavy
materials, particularly coal, remained a problem. It is therefore significant that the first modern railway, built in 1825 for the transportation of coal, ran from the Durham coal field of Stockton to Darlington near the coast. Coal had traditionally been transported short distances via tramways, or tracks along which horses pulled coal carts. The Stockton-to-Darlington railway was a logical extension of a tramway, designed to answer the transportation needs arising from constantly expanding industrialization. The man primarily responsible for the design of the first steam railway was George Stephenson, a self-educated engineer who had not learned to read until he was seventeen. The locomotives on the Stockton-Darlington line travelled at fifteen miles an hour, the fastest rate at which machines had yet moved goods overland. Soon they would move people as well,transforming transportation in the process.
It is emphasized in the passage that George Stephenson, who designed the first steam
railway, ----.
A) developed new techniques in order to increase the speed of locomotives
B) was one of the partners who owned the Durham coal field of Stockton
C) had been previously involved in the solution of various other problems concerning transportation
D) had already distinguished himself by his achievements as an engineer
E) had not received formal education to become an engineer

B) Nicholas Gane's newly-published book The Future of Social Theory brings together a series of interviews held with the world's leading social theorists.
C) A series of interviews with the world's leading social theorists was the starting point for Nicholas Gane's newly-published The Future of Social Theory.
D) Nicholas Gane interviewed some of the world's leading social theorists before writing The Future of Social Theory which has recently been published.

No child is too young to play and therefore to engage in engineering, even though it is of a primitive kind. We all did so as children ourselves, when we devised our own toys and games - and sometimes even imaginary friends to enjoy them with us. The idea of playfulness is embedded in engineering through the concepts of invention and design. Not that engineering is trivial; rather, the heart of the activity is to give imagination its freedom to dream and turn those dreams into reality. Children do experience the essence of engineering in their earliest activities, yet there is seldom any recognition that this is the case. They may hear the word 'engineer' only in connection with railroad locomotives and have no idea that their playful activity could become a lifelong profession. Engineers themselves are understandably reluctant to equate their professional activity with mere child's play; after all, they studied long and hard to master complicated knowledge of atoms and molecules, stresses and strains, heat and power, current and voltages, bits and bytes. They manipulate equations, not blocks. They use computers for serious modelling and calculation, not for fun and games. They design and build real towers and bridges that test the limits of reliability and safety, not toy ones that totter and fall down with little consequence.
The main point the writer is making in this passage is that ------.
A) man has practised engineering ever since primitive times
B) some children are born to be engineers
C) children and engineers both have the capacity to imagine and create
D) reliability and safety are minor details for the professional engineer
E) any engineering fault in design or calculation does have serious consequences
Hepatitis A is an enterovirus transmitted by the orofecal route, such as contaminated food. It causes an acute form of hepatitis (inflammation of the liver), does not have a chronic stage, and will not cause any permanent damage to the liver. The patient's immune system makes antibodies against Hepatitis A that confer immunity against future infection. A vaccine is available that will prevent infection from hepatitis A for life. Young children who catch hepatitis A often have a milder form of the disease, usually lasting from 1-3 weeks, whereas adults tend to experience a much more severe form of the disease. They are often confined to bed and minimal activity for about 4 weeks and have to stop their work for from one to three months or longer. Many adults take up to 6-12 months and occasionally longer to recover entirely. Symptoms that may be experienced after the first month or two are low immunity: It is much easier to catch minor infections and for these infections to linger longer than they normally would. Many people experience a slow but sure improvement, over this later period. They are generally able to function fairly normally, still needing more sleep and reduced athletic activity. It is common for recovering patients to experience occasional 'off' days, during which they need to rest more. There is no specific treatment for Hepatitis A. Sufferers are advised to rest, avoid fatty foods and alcohol (these may be poorly tolerated for some additional months during the recovery phase and cause minor relapses), eat a well-balanced diet, and stay hydrated.
According to the passage, a patient recovering from Hepatitis A should ...............
A) do physical exercise every day
B) be kept in quarantine
C) drink as much water as he/she can
D) have fast food and a little wine
E) eat only vegetables and fruit
Gregor Mendel was not the first plant breeder. At the time he began his work, hybrid plants and animals had been known for a long time. Mendel’s genius lay in his ability to recognize a pattern in the way the parental traits reappear in the offspring of hybrids. ----
A) It is true that Mendel was a clergyman who bred pea plants in his monastery garden at Brno,
Czech Republic.
B) Therefore, at that time biology was largely a descriptive science, and biologists had little
interest in experimental studies.
C) So it is clear that Mendel’s “hereditary factors” are essentially what we call “genes” today, which
is one of the major subjects of modern biology.
D) In fact, geneticists study not only the transmission of genes, but also the expression of
genetic information.
E) No one before him had categorized and counted the offspring and analyzed these regular patterns
over several generations.

In antiquity, prior to the third century B.C., physics had been a branch of philosophy. It was made a separate, experimental science by Archimedes of Syracuse, who lived between 287 and 212 B.C.. He not only discovered the law of floating objects, or specific gravity, but also formulated with scientific exactness the principles of the lever, the pulley, and the screw. Among his memorable inventions were the compound pulley and the screw propeller for ships. Although he has been considered the greatest technical genius of antiquity, in fact he preferred to devote himself to pure scientific research. Tradition relates that he discovered “Archimedes’ principle,” that is, specific gravity, while pondering possible
theories in his bath; when he reached his stunning insight, he dashed out naked into the street crying “Eureka!” (“I have found it!”).
It is pointed out in the passage that Archimedes’
inventions ----.
A) were not related to the theories that he had already formulated
B) have qualified him to be regarded as “the greatest genius of antiquity”
C) were put into use when, following several scientific tests, they proved to be very efficient

It is always a mystery about how the universe began, whether if and when it will end. Astronomers construct hypotheses called cosmological models that try to find the answer. There are two types of models: Big Bang and Steady State. However, through many observational evidences, the Big Bang theory can best explain the creation of the universe. The Big Bang model postulates that about 15 to 20 billion years ago, the universe violently exploded into being, in an event called the Big Bang. Before the Big Bang, all of the matter and radiation of our present universe were packed together in the primeval fireball--an extremely hot dense state from which the universe rapidly expanded.1 The Big Bang was the start of time and space. The matter and radiation of that early stage rapidly expanded and cooled. Several million years later, it condensed into galaxies. The universe has continued to expand, and the galaxies have continued moving away from each other ever since. Today the universe is still expanding, as astronomers have observed. The Steady State model says that the universe does not evolve or change in time. There was no beginning in the past, nor will there be change in the future. This model assumes the perfect cosmological principle. This principle says that the universe is the same everywhere on the large-scale; at all times.2 It maintains the same average density of matter forever. There are observational evidences found that can prove the Big Bang model is more reasonable than the Steady State model. First the redshifts of distant galaxies. Redshift is a Doppler effect which states that if a galaxy is moving away, the spectral line of that galaxy observed will have a shift to the red end. The faster the galaxy moves the more shifts it has. If the galaxy is moving closer, the spectral line will show a blue shift. If the galaxy is not moving, there is no shift at all. However, as astronomers observed, the more distance a galaxy is located from Earth, the more redshift it shows on the spectrum. This means the further a galaxy is, the faster it moves. Therefore, the universe is expanding, and the Big Bang model seems more reasonable than the Steady State model.
52. We can conclude from the passage that___.
A) if the universe was eternal, then it would have an infinite past no beginning
B) to be eternal by The Universe’s nature means it has a constant energy and everything that it has is already supplied
C) that is to say the entire world was compressed into a tiny microscopic ball which exploded

Family-owned companies are bad for business, a new study argues - at least when they dominate a large portion of a country's economy. Outside the United States and Britain most major corporations are in the hands of a few wealthy families, rather than, as in the US and Britain, being owned by a wide network of shareholders. The power of these small families often extends far beyond the companies they own directly, thanks to a system of 'control pyramids' in which they exercise indirect control over a large number of smaller companies. This concentration of corporate power doesn't merely leave-a high percentage of wealth in the hands of billionaires - it also retards growth, diminishes efficiency, and limits economic freedom. Moreover, 'a tiny elite that cannot be sacked,' as the study puts it, is likely to pursue 'economic entrenchment', in which property rights and financial openness are restricted to protect a few families' economic and political prerogatives or rights.
The aim of the passage is to -----.
A) highlight the different ways in which business is carried on in the US and in Britain
B) compare small family businesses and large corporations
C) present the findings of a research project into the nature of large, family-owned corporations
D) discredit the practices of big business, especially when shareholders are involved
E) contradict the conclusions of a study into the practices of large, family-owned corporations

D) who had had connection problems due to technical reasons
E) which is thought to reduce the amount of
the radiation released to the environment
Flexography (also called surface printing), often abbreviated to flexo, is a method of printing most commonly used for packaging. A flexo print is achieved by creating a mirrored master of the required image as a 3D relief in a rubber or polymer material. A measured amount of ink is deposited upon the surface of the printing plate (or printing cylinder) using an anilox roll. The print surface then rotates, contacting the print material which transfers the ink. Flexo is so named because it was originally used as a method of printing onto corrugated cardboard which has a very uneven surface. It is required that the printing plate surface maintain contact with the cardboard, which it does by being flexible. Also unprinted high points on the cardboard must not get printed by ink remnants not on the plate surface, which is achieved by ensuring a sufficient depth for the non-print areas of the plate. Originally flexo printing was very low quality. In the last 3 decades great advances have been made, including improvements to the plate material and the method of plate creation—usually photographic exposure followed by chemical etch, though also by direct laser engraving. Laser-etched anilox rolls also play a part in the improvement of print quality.
