For a missing word Mark the position of the missing word with a “∧” sign and write the word you believe to be missing in the blank provided on the answer sheet. For an unnecessary word Cross the unnecessary word with a slash “/” and put the word in the blank provided on the answer

sheet. Some people say love makes the world go around. Others say it is not love; it’ s money. Since the truth is that it is energy that makes the world go around. Energy is the currency of the ecological system and life becomes possible even when food is converted into energy, which in turn is used to seek more food to grow, to reproduce and to survive. In this cycle all life depends. It is fairly well known that wild animals survive from year to year by eating as many as they can during times of plenty, the summer and fall, storing the excess, usually in the form of fat, and then using these reserves of fat to survive during the hard time in winter when food is scarce. But it is probably less well known that even with their stored fat, wild animals spend less energy to live in winter than in summer. A good case in point is white-tailed deer. Like most wildlife, deer reproduce, grow, and store fat in the summer and fall when there is plenty of nutritious food available. A physically mature female deer in the good condition who has conceived in November and was given birth to two fawns during the end of May and first part of June, must search for food for the necessary energy not only to meet her body’s needs but also to reproduce milk for her fawns. The best milk production occurs at the same time that new plant growth is available. This is good timing, because milk production is an energy consuming process—it requires a lot of food. The cost can be met unless the region has ample food resources. Part III. Cloze (20 points): Directions: Thereare20blanksinthefollowingpassage.Youarerequiredtoread the passage and fill in each bank with a word from the word bank, and change the form where necessary.

contrast approximate compose symbol recombine exist vary develop complicated majority minority The Chinese writing system is one of the oldest known written languages. Some of the earliest examples of ancient Chinese writing ___1___ back to over 4000 years ago. The first characters to be developed were pictographs, or pictures of objects. The symbol for “sun” looked like a sun, and the symbol for “tree” looked like a tree. When symbols for more ___2___ concepts were needed, an ___3___ character with the same pronunciation was used to ___4___ the pronunciation of the word. The written language therefore ___5___ according to the sound of the words, not just their meaning. There are some pictograph and ideograph characters, but about 90 per cent of characters have a phonetic element. Each character is ___6___ of elements that can be recombined to form new words ___7___ on its meaning or sound. For example, the element 木（tree）can be ___8___ with other elements to form the word for“forest” (based on its meaning) or the word for “bathe” or “wash” (based on its sound). Each character can have a number of different pronunciations that also ___9___ different meanings. The ___10___ of characters change only the tone pitch, but there are also many characters that have several very different___11___. As Chinese has a relatively ___12___ number of sounds in its phonemic system, there are also many ___13___ --- words that have the same sound but different meanings. Chinese character elements can be recombined in lots of ways and the number of possible new characters is___14___. It is thought the total number of characters ever used ___15___ 100,000. Average dictionaries contain about 10,000 characters, two thirds of which are rarely used. It is said that a Chinese speaker needs ___16___ 3,000 characters to read and understand 99 per cent of modern texts. There are many different ___17___ of spoken Chinese and it is common for speakers of Chinese to be able to speak several ___18___ of the language. They are, however, all ___19___ by the same written script. This ___20___ with English where the systems

of spoken and written language are more tightly connected. This is one major difference between Chinese and Western concepts of language. Part IV. Reading Comprehension (30 points) Directions: In this section, there are three passages followed by questions or unfinishedstatements,eachwithfoursuggestedanswersmarkedA,B,C,andD.Choose the best answer and write the letter of your choice on the ANSWER SHEET. Passage 1 Robert Capa is a name that has for many years been synonymous with war photography. Born in Hungary in 1913, Capa was forced to leave his native country after his involvement in anti-government protests. After his arrival in Berlin, he had first found work as a photographer. He later left Germany and moved to France due to the rise in Nazism. In 1936, Capa went to Spain and it was here over the next three years that he built his reputation as a war photographer. It was here too in 1936 that he took one of his most famous pictures, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier. One of Capa’s most famous quotes was ‘If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.’ And he took his attitude of getting close to the action to an extreme. His photograph, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier is a prime example of this as Capa captures the very moment the soldier falls. However, many have questioned the authenticity of this photograph, claiming that it was staged. When World War II broke out, Capa was in New York, but he was soon back in Europe covering the war for Life magazine. Some of his most famous work was created on 6th June 1944 when he swam ashore with the first assault on Omaha Beach in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Capa, armed only with two cameras, took more than one hundred photographs in the first hour of the landing, but a mistake in the darkroom during the drying of the film destroyed all but eight frames. It was the images from these
