Each passage i s followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of th em there are some choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. The decline of traditional religion in the West has not removed t he need for men and women to find a deeper meaning behind existence. Why is the world the way it is and how do we, as conscious individual s, fit into the great scheme? There is a growing feeling that science, especially what is known as the new physics, can provide answers where religion remains vague and faltering. Many people in search of a meaning to their lives are finding enlightenment in the revolutionary developments at the front iers of science. Much to the bewilderment of professional scientists, quasi-religious cults are being formed around such unlikely topics a s quantum physics, space-time relativity, black holes and the big ban g. How can physics, with its reputation for cold precision and objec tive materialism, provide such fertile soil for the mystical? The tru th is that the spirit of scientific inquiry has undergone a remarkabl e transformation over the past 50 years. The twin revolutions of the

theory of relativity, with its space-warps and time-warps, and the qu antum theory, which reveals the shadowy and unsubstantial nature of a toms, have demolished the classical image of a clockwork universe sla vishly unfolding along a predetermined pathway. Replacing this steril e mechanism is a world full of shifting indeterminism and subtle inte ractions that have no counterpart in daily experience, To study the new physics is to embark on a journey of wonderment and paradox, to glimpse the universe in a novel perspective, in which subject and object, mind and matter, force and field, become intertw ined. Even the creation of the universe itself has fallen within the province of scientific inquiry. The new cosmology provides, for the first time, a consistent pict ure of how all physical structures, including space and time, came to exist out of nothing. We are moving towards an understanding in whic h matter, force, order and creation are unified into a single descrip tive theme. Many of us who work in fundamental physics are deeply impressed b y the harmony and order which pervades the physical world. To me laws of the universe, from quarks to quasars, dovetail together so felici tously that the impression there is something behind it all seems ove rwhelming. The laws of physics are so remarkably clever they can sure ly only be a manifestation of genius. l. The author says people nowadays find that traditional religion is A. a form of reassurance B. inadequate to their needs C. responding to scientific progress D. developing in strange ways 2. Scientists find the new cults bewildering because they are A. too reactionary B. based on false evidence

C. derived from inappropriate sources D. too subjective 3. Which phrase in paragraph 3 suggests that the universe is like a m achine? A. Cold precision and objective materialism. B. The shadowy and unsubstantial nature of atoms. C. Slavishly unfolding along a predetermined pathway. D. Shifting Indeterminism and subtle interactions. 4. The new physics is exciting because it A. offers a comprehensive explanation of the universe B. proves the existence of a ruling intelligence C. incorporates the work of men of genius D. makes scientific theories easier to understand 5. The author of this passage is A. a minister of religion B. a research scientist C. science fiction writer D. a journalist Questions 6 to 16 are based on the following passage. Suddenly Lady Windermere looked eagerly round the room, and said, in her clear contralto voice, "where is my chiromantist?" "Your what, Gladys?" exclaimed the Duchess, trying to remember wh at a chiromantist really was, and hoping it was not the same as a chi ropodist. "my chiromantist, Duchess; I can't live without hi can't live without him can't live without hi mm m at present. I
