The poverty gap in some developed and developing countries has been widening this decade. Taiwan is among them. Recent 16. have shown Taiwan’s wealthiest making almost 93 times more annually than its poorest citizens. Indeed, the situation seems to be getting worse every year. Unfortunately, a widening poverty gap can lead to a variety of social 17. . For example, crime and social unrest can increase as the "have-nots" become 18. about the excessive comforts of the "haves" in society. Furthermore, being poor usually means not having 19. to high quality education, and can therefore widen the gap in the long term.

Wilson L. Taylor is credited with being the inventor of the cloze technique.

It has been a stumbling stone to many a typesetter and has often been 22. by overzealous and unknowing editors who find 23. difficult to believe that anyone would really intend to spell a word C-L-O-Z-E. The term is a mnemonic or perhaps a humorless pun intended to call to 24. the process of closure celebrated by Gestalt psychology. In the cloze technique, blanks are placed in prose where words in the text have been 25. . Filling the blanks by guessing the missing words is, according to Taylor’s notions, a special kind of closure—hence the term cloze.

The average automatic teller machine(ATM) is not very smart. It will give money to anyone who has the right card and presses several keys in the right order. The machine does not know whether the person taking out the money is the account holder or someone else, perhaps a thief. To increase security at cash machines, some banks have tried to make their ATMs a little smarter by installing a small camera in the machine looking directly into the eye of every customer. It scans one iris and compares the tiny patterns of ridges, dots, and other features to a code in its computer. If there is a match, the ATM will start counting out cash.
31. Which of the following can be inferred from this passage? (A)ATM transactions are popular worldwide.
(B)ATMs are smart and tiny.
(C)Security at cash machines has been increased.
(D)There will be more ATMs without cameras in the future. 32. What does the underlined word iris mean?
(A)The colored part of the eye (B)The tiny patterns of ridges (C)The tiny patterns of dots (D)Money account
33. According to this passage, what is true about ATMs?
(A)The ATMs are controlled by the government and the police. (B)All ATMs can look directly into the eye of every customer. (C)The ATMs can detect the fingerprints of account holders.
(D)A person needs to have the right card and code numbers to withdraw money from ATMs.
For the first time in history, almost the entire world is now sharing the same economic system. Communism began to fall in the late 1980s, and since then, capitalism has spread to most corners of the world. The basis of a "pure" capitalist economy is free trade, also called "open trade." There are benefits of open trade for both rich and poor countries. For
developed countries such as Japan and England, free trade brings with it more competition, which in turn brings advantages such as lower prices and more choices of products for consumers. For developing countries, open trade means that people have access to essential goods such as food, clothing, and fuel(for transportation and heat). An open economic system can be a key to improving the lives of people in both poor and rich countries because it can reduce poverty and improve living conditions.
34. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true? (A)Communism provides inexpensive goods for consumers.
(B)Japan and England are developing countries.
(C)Open trade has advantages for both developed and developing countries. (D)The basis of a "pure" capitalist economy is close to the core of Communism. 35. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?
(A)Almost the entire world is now sharing the same economic system. (B)Since late 1980s capitalism has spread to most parts of the world. (C)Free trade is also called "open trade."
(D)Communism has spread to most corners of the world. 36. What can be inferred from this passage?
(A)The world shared the same economic system before 1980s. (B)People have many choices when purchasing products in Japan. (C)Open trade is beneficial for rich countries only.
(D)Communism is the key to improving the lives of people in poor countries. During World War II, when it was necessary to conserve raw materials for the war effort, recycling was at the forefront of public consciousness, an accepted part of daily lives. In the several decades after the war, as America grew steadily richer, it also grew more wasteful, gradually forgetting its recycling habits. But in recent years, recycling, the process of reusing materials, has regained prominence because of today’s pressing
environmental problems. For example, people are urged to recycle paper to slow down massive deforestation. But probably the main factor of prompting a resurgence in recycling is simply that the alternative to recycling, dumping garbage in landfills, is a solution literally running out. Many communities can no longer find space to throw their garbage.
37. By which of the following would the underlined phrase running out be best replaced? (A)going outside quickly (B)getting free
(C)being used up (D)becoming more important 38. According to the passage, why was recycling prominent during World War II?
(A)It was part of American prosperity. (B)America was a poor country at that time. (C)It was due to serious environmental problems. (D)People needed materials for the war.
39. According to the passage, what is the major reason that people started to recycle again? (A)Americans have forgotten their recycling habits.
(B)People recycled again in order to save money.
(C)Many people cannot find a place to dump their garbage. (D)Americans grew more wasteful.
40. What can be inferred from the passage?
(A)Simply dumping garbage in landfills does not work well any more. (B)Deforestation was a pressing environmental problem during World War II. (C)People are urged to dump garbage in landfills.
(D)The main factor of prompting recycling is that people have become poorer.

Plague is a disease carried by animals, primarily by rodents. It was widespread in Europe, where in the 1300s 25 million people died and the raging epidemic spread as late as the last part of the seventeenth century. Once people became aware of the fact that plague was spread by rats that carried the epidemic on ships from one port to another, rodent extermination put the end to the devastating plagues in the world. In the United States, plague occurred in epidemic strength in San Francisco in 1900. Intensive rats control
measures were employed immediately, but squirrels in the area had been infected and had to be destroyed too. Descendants of these rodents continue the infection and have transmitted it to other rodents such as prairie dogs in the western and southwestern part of the United States. The plague is endemic to those areas that are sparsely populated. There have been scattered cases of plague since 1900, but no serious outbreaks.
41. Plague is mainly spread by .
42. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
(A)Plague was an epidemic which had been spread in Europe for several centuries. (B)In the United States, large-scale plague happened later than in the Europe. (C)Prairie dogs transmitted plague to squirrels.
(D)There have been small cases of plague since 1900.
43. The western and southwestern parts of the United States . (A)still have serious and widespread outbreaks of plague since 1900 (B)are the habitat of some infected rodents
(C)have large populations of prairie dogs (D)are sparsely populated because of the plague 44. The plague spread in Europe because .
(A)infected rats traveled on ships
(B)a quarter of a billion people died of that raging epidemic (C)a severely cold weather came in this area
(D)there were not enough doctors to treat patients 45. Widespread epidemic ended in Europe when .
(A)ships were not allowed in foreign ports (B)intensive rat control actions were applied (C)people were infected and destroyed (D)25 million people had been killed
Veterinarians and psychologists have joined forces to redress the behavioral ills of dogs. Subject to the same emotional problems as their owners, dogs have increasingly developed neuroses formerly attributable to humans.
Dog owners frequently reveal their own egos in their choice of a pet. Haven’t you seen many a huge dog taking a small person for a walk? The dog fits in with its owner’s own frustrated feelings of aggression and power. Many lonely people find a dog a source of comfort—reliable, affectionate, and willing to listen. Child psychologists have turned to dogs for help. The child who rejects his or her peers or parents will treasure a dog and can be influenced by the psychologist who talks about the dog. Childless couples frequently select baby-sized dogs upon whom they lavish parental affection.
What happens to dogs that are burdened with owners who treat them like people? They behave like spoiled children. A dog whose owner feeds it on her lap refuses to eat from a bowl on the floor. A dog belonging to a childless couple for several years develops paralysis in its hind legs when they produce a real baby.
The veterinarians / psychologists urge us to follow the advice of our child
psychologists: Bring up our dogs with the same patience, love, and discipline we extend to our children.
46. Dogs resemble people in their inability to .
(A)work together (B)develop neuroses
(C)live in confined space (D)deal with emotional changes 47. Dog owners reflect their own egos by selecting a dog that .
(A)is temperamentally similar to them (B)has characteristics they lack
(C)is regarded as their property (D)resembles them in their appearance 48. Child psychologists use dogs .
(A)as a means of establishing a close relation with a withdrawn child (B)as objects for experiments in human psychology
(C)to cure children of influenza (D)to console the elders’emotion
49. We can infer that the dog which develops paralysis when its owners have a child is .
(A)struck by a disease on the nerves (B)affectionate toward the new baby (C)neurotically jealous
(D)frustrated by its owner’s aggression and power
50. The author suggests that the best way to bring up a dog is to . (A)treat it like an animal (B)overindulge it
