For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D Choose the best answer and mark your choice on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Passage 1 Many historians of the twentieth century look back at the fifteenth century and say, "Maehiavelli was the first political scientist in history. They say that he looked at politics for the first time with the factual eye of a scientist. He was only interested in the facts. He thought that politics and morality didn't go together very often, but he studied ideas of right and wrong, along with politics; government leaders, he wrote, could use these ideas to get and keep power. In Maehiavelli's opinion, the nature of human beings is usually evil, so a good

person must always fail. He thought it was important for a political leader to know how to be bad. In fact, Maehiavelli saw leaders of government as people above ordinary human beings; so he believed they are also above ordinary morality. Good and evil, he said, are only ideas that weak people use to excuse weakness; powerful people use these ideas to keep other people weak. They can lead because they want power and because they fight for it. Also these leaders are not usually afraid to leave morality behind, so they don't have ideas of right or wrong to stop them. They think only of power. It is nice, Maehiavelli said, if political leaders can also be good people, but they must know how to be bad when the time comes. Maehiavelli said that it is natural to fight for power and that there are two methods people use: law and physical force. The first method is the way of human beings. They do this to get and keep power. People are evil, in Maehiavelli's opinion, so war and fighting are always in the world; they are a natural part of it. Political leaders know the way of nature, of people, and animals, and they use their knowledge to get what they want. 41.According to the passage, a political scientist is a person who_________________.. A. studies politics and science at the same time B. studies science in a political way C. knows politics as well as science D. studies politics in a scientific way 42. According to the passage, what does Maehaivelli think of the ideas of right and wrong ? A. There is nothing absolutely right or wrong. B. Political leaders know the ideas of right and wrong and use them to stop themselves from doing sth. wrong. C. Weak people use the ideas to keep inward peace D. Compared with power, ideas of right and wrong are nothing to political leaders. 43. Which of the following can be included into the opinion of Maehiavevelli? A. Political leaders are special human beings and have different morality B. Human beings are usually bad and are certain to fail.

C Powerful people use ideas of right and wrong to control themselves. D. Political leaders should keep morality in mind. 44. What does Machiavelli think of political leaders? A. Political leaders would never be good people. B. Political leaders are afraid to desert morality. C. Political leaders only think of power and ignore morality. D. Political leaders are evil in nature while the common people are not. 45. What is the passage mainly talking about? A The behavior of politicians B The similarity between human beings and animals. C The difference between political leaders and common people. D The scientific view of politics Passage2 It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways: that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problem--and that they lack sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young. Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainters and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste. Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own

age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog; you cannot win but at least you keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood when you were completely under your parents' control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. if you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do. 46. The author says "they are possessive and dominant" chiefly in order to illustrate_____. A. children's weakness in dealing with the relationship B. parents are responsible for the misunderstandings C. misunderstandings will also remain in spite of people's efforts to make improvement D. children's complaints about their parents 47. The author's attitude towards children in parent-children misunderstanding is_____. A .understanding B. critical C. praising D. confused 48. Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles mainly because they_____. A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better D. want to irritate their parents 49. Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they_____. A. have already been accepted into the adult world B. feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults C. are not likely to win over the adults D. have a desire to be independent 50. To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be_____. A. obedient B. responsible C. cooperative D. independent

Passage 3 At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse, but let it pass instead. You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of the behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death. for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that is was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as “On Death and Dying” and “Learning to Say Good-bye”, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject. One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their image as well as there products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-respect. After all, people think, how can people who care about themselves, and therefore the way they look, permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society like the U.S, thin is “in”, fat is “out 51. According to the passage, we can infer that taboo is_____. A. a crime committed on impulse B. an unfavorable impression left on other people C. a behavior considered unacceptable by the public D. a strong desire to do something strange or terrible 52. Based on the ideas presented in the passage we can conclude that, in American society, “being fat”_____.
