were a luxury available only to the wealthy. An
Australian newspaper editor named
Read the following passage and mark the answer
James Harrison thought he could make a fortune if
he could freeze and transport surplus beef and
mutton to England, where meat prices were very
high. Ice-making machines had been developed in
the, 1830s, but in order to keep the food frozen, a
refrigeration machine had to be developed to ensure
a stabilised temperature. Harrison patented his
machine in 1857 and by 1873 had perfected his
method. He arranged a special meal to celebrate his
invention. The meat he served had been completely
frozen for six months, but not one dinner guest could
tell that it wasn't freshly slaughtered.

slaughtered meat
B)meat cannot last much longer than six months in a
freezer
C)meat must be frozen immediately after slaughter
to taste fresh
D)Harrison's method of preservation was quite
successful
E)only the food experts could understand that
Harrison served frozen meat
Benjamin Franklin, who was to become one of the
best known American writers, politicians and
scientists, was born in Boston in 1706. He was one of
17 children, and as a child, he worked in the shop of
his father, who was a soap and candle maker. As he
loved to read and study, however, working for his
father did not appeal to him, so when he was 12, he
was sent to assist his brother James, who had a
printing shop. There, surrounded by books, he would
often stay up late at night reading on a wide range of
subjects. As he read, he practised improving his own

The world's first liquid-fuelled rocket took off on a
cold afternoon in March 1926, from a farm in New
England. The result of years of trial and error by a
physics professor named Robert Goddard, it rose
about 14 metres. Goddard was certain that this
modest flight was the first step towards future space
flight, but few others shared his enthusiasm. The
director of the Smithsonian -Institution, from which
he had been receiving a small amount of financial
assistance, was disappointed. The newspapers made
fun of him. Yet today, space scientists consider the
1926 experiment an event as important as man's first
successful flight.
41-The passage makes it clear that……….. .

seriously at the time

D)no one believed that it would be successful

In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems
with disease, high costs and politics, the Panama
Canal was officially opened. This linked the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass through
the fifty-mile canal zone instead of travelling some
seven thousand miles around Cape Horn. It takes a
ship approximately eight hours to complete the trip
through the canal, and costs a tenth of what it would
cost the average ship to round the Horn. More than
fifteen thousand ships use the canal annually.

certain diseases

Horn

A fire extinguisher, even a small one, located near the
kitchen is a wise investment. But be sure that the
extinguisher is rated to put out kitchen fires. What
the extinguisher is designed to do is stated on the
outside. Rather than bother trying to determine
which one is best for you, just get an extinguisher
that is rated to control all three primary types of
fires: (1) ordinary combustibles such as paper and
wood; (2) flammable liquids, such as fat, gasoline
and grease; and (3) electric fires. Read the directions
carefully. Teach everyone in the family how to
operate the extinguisher, and do not buy one that is
too heavy for a child of nine or ten to lift.
47-We learn from the passage that…………… .
A)fire extinguishers can be very expensive

In the early 20th century, the population of
Macedonia was composed of many different peoples,
usually fighting one another. That such a land of
violence and conflict in the last days of the Ottoman
Empire would produce a future winner of the Nobel
Peace Prize would have seemed highly improbable.
Yet in Skopje, one of the two men who opened the
town's first theatre was an Albanian married to a
Serb. A daughter was born into this typically
cosmopolitan Macedonian family, who, as Mother
Theresa, would find her vocation in far away places,
doing charitable work among the victims of poverty
and neglect - particularly in the slums of Calcutta,
India. In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize in recognition of her humanitarian efforts.
50-The passage states that in the early 20th century,
……….. .
