The importance and influence of the Bible among Christians and Jews may be explained broadly in both external and internal
(1) . The external explanation is the (2) of tradition, custom and creed: Religious groups confess that they are (3) by
the Bible. In one (4) the religious cormnunity is the author of Scripture, (5) it, cherished it, used it, and eventually
canonized it (that is, developed lists of officially (6) biblical books). The internal explanation, (7) , is what many
Christians and Jews continue to experience as the power of the contents of the biblical books themselves. Ancient Israel and
the early church knew of many more religious books (8) the ones that constitute the Bible. The biblical books, however,
were cherished and used because of what (9) said and how they said it; they were officially canonized because they had come
to be used and (10) so widely. The Bible truly is the foundation (11) of Judaism and Christianity.
It is commonly known that the Bible, in its (12) of different translations, is the most widely (13) book in human
history. Moreover, in all its forms, the Bible has been enormously (14) , and not only among the religious communities that
hold it (15) . The literature, art and music of Western culture in particular are deeply (16) to biblical themes, motifs
and images. Translations of the Bible, such as the Authorized Version (or King James Version, 1611) and Martin Luther's (17)
of the Bible into German (first completed in 1534) not only influenced literature but also (18) the development of
languages. Such effects continue to be felt in (19) nations, where translations of the Bible into the (20) help to shape
language traditions.

TEXT A
American federalism has been described as a neat mechanical theory. The national government was said to be sovereign in
certain areas of governmental concern, such as the regulation of interstate commerce. State governments were said to be
sovereign in certain other areas, such as regulation of intrastate commerce and exercise of the police power. One writer has
described this as the "layer cake" concept of American federalism. In the top layer are neatly compacted all the powers of
the national government; in the bottom layer are found the separate and distinct functions and powers of state governments.
How nice it would be if the American federal system could be so easily and conveniently analyzed. But Professor Martin
Grodzins of the University of Chicago has gone on to describe federalism in practice as more like a marble cake, with a
mixing of functions, than like a layer cake, with functions separate and distinct. This mixing can be seen best, perhaps, by
examining the example of railroad traffic. If it crosses a state line, it constitutes interstate commerce, coming under
control of the national government. Rail shipments originating and ending within a single state constitutes intrastate
commerce, thus—the theory tells us—falling under regulation of state governments. However, both the interstate and
intrastate shipments may have moved over the same rails. In this simple example, one might easily read the urgent necessity
for close cooperation between state and national governments. This need has not gone unrecognized by administrators of
governmental programs at the state, local and national levels.
Nonetheless, national and state interests often conflict in the political field. Pressures may be brought to bear on state
legislators which differ from those felt by members of the national Congress. Disagreement over the proper division of powers
between states and the national government often lies beneath a conflict of interests. But no "best" formula has been
discovered for drawing a dividing line between state powers and national powers.
The men who wrote the United States Constitution did the best they could in the face of circumstances which confronted
them at the time. The state national power dispute has raged persistently ever since. What are "states" rights? It is obvious
that, throughout United States history, "states" rights have arisen repeatedly as they felt that they were being treated
unsympathetically at a given moment by the national government. The source of the cry would seem to depend on whose ox is
being gored.
2.
From the author's point of view, the basic problem in establishing clear guidelines related to interstate commerce would
be______.
A. as the power of the federal government increases, the power of the states decreases
B. state and national governments have not effectively cooperated in defining their areas of control
C. federal authorities have abused their constitutional power to regulate commerce
D. the rapid development of transportation networks has undermined federal authority
3. Federalism is best described as______.
A. dividing the powers of the federal government into three distinct branches of government
B. a system that provides for continuous checks on federal authority
C. a system that limits central government power
D. a system in which the state and federal governments have distinct functions
4. hich of the following would not be a primary reason for lack of cooperation between federal and state governments?
A. Duplication of government. B. Regional planning.
C. Diversity of state laws services. D. Conflict of interests.
5. What is intrastate commerce?
A. Commerce that is within state boundaries.
B. Commerce that is between state boundaries.
C. Commerce that is primarily regulated by the national government.
D. Commerce that depends on regional planning.
6. A major factor in limiting federal state cooperation would be______.
A. inadequate legislation B. conflicting political pressures
C. the growth of the national government D. national highway legislation

hen we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain kind of test, or even the
ability to do well in school. These are at best only indicators of something larger, deeper and far more important. By
intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations. The true test of intelligence is not how much
we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do.
The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take in with
mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen to
him. He grapples with it boldly, imaginatively, resourcefully, and if not confidently, at least hopefully: if he fails to
master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. Clearly its
roots lie in a certain feeling about life, and one's self with respect to life. Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what
most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style of
behavior, arising out of entirely different set of attitudes.
Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not bright, or less bright, have shown that they are very
different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, embrace it, and
unite himself with it. There is no wall, no barrier, between himself and life. On the other hand, the dull child is far less
curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real, more inclined to live in a world of fantasy. The bright child
likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the maxim that there is more than one way to skin a cat. If he can't do
something one way, he'll try another. The dull child is usually afraid to try at all. It takes a great deal of urging to get
him to try even once; if that try fails, he is through.
Nobody starts off stupid. Hardly an adult in a thousand, or ten thousand, could in any three years of his life learn as
much, grow as much in his understanding of the world around him, as every infant learns and grows in his first three years.
But what happens, as we grow older, to this extraordinary capacity for learning and intellectual growth? What happens is that
it is destroyed, and more than by any other thing, it is destroyed by the process that we misname education—a process that
goes on in most homes and schools.
8. The writer believes that "unintelligence" is
A. similar to intelligence
B. less than intelligence
C. the common belief of most psychologists
D. a particular way of looking at the world
9. Which of the following is true about an unintelligent child?
A. He/She rarely daydreams. B. He/She takes the initiative.
C. He/She isn't afraid of failing. D. He/She gives up easily.
10. Why does the writer say that education is misnamed?
A. Because it takes place more in homes than in schools.
B. Because it discourages intellectual growth.
C. Because it helps dull children with their problems.
D. Because it helps children understand the world around them.
11. "There's more than one way to skin a cat." Which of the following maxims has a similar meaning to this one?
A. If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again.
B. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
C. Make new friends and keep the old; one is silver and the other is gold.
D. Make hay while the sun shines.

TEXT C
We all know that the normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7-8 hours' sleep alternating with some 16-17 hours'
wakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness. Our present concern is with
how easily and to what extent this cycle can be modified.
The question is no merely academic one. The ease, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to
working at night is a question of growing importance in industry where automation calls for round-the-clock working of
machines. It normally takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a reversed routine of sleep and wakefulness,
sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every
week; a person may work from 12 midnight to 8 a.m. one week, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. the next, and 4 p.m. to 12 midnight the third
and so on. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine than he has to change to another, so that much of his
time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently.
The only real solution appears to hand over the night shift to a number of permanent night workers. An interesting study
of the domestic life and health of night shift workers was carried out by Brown in 1957. She found a high incidence of
disturbed sleep and other disorders among those on alternating day and night shifts, but no abnormal occurrence of these
phenomena among those on permanent night work.
This latter system then appears to be the best long term policy, but meanwhile something may be done to relieve the
strains of alternate day and night work by selecting those people who can adapt most quickly to the changes of routine. One
way of knowing when a person has adapted is by measuring his body temperature. People engaged in normal daytime work will
have a high temperature during the hours of wakefulness and a low one at night; when they change to night work the pattern
will only gradually go back to match the new routine and the speed with which it does so parallels, broadly speaking, the
adaptation of the body as a whole, particularly in terms of performance. Therefore, by taking body temperature at intervals
of two hours throughout the period of wakefulness it can be seen how quickly a person can adapt to a reversed routine, and
this could be used as a basis for selection. So far, however, such a form of selection does not seem to have been applied in
practice.
13. The main problem of the round the clock working system lies in______.
A. the inconveniences brought about to the workers by the introduction of automation
B. the disturbance of the daily cycle of workers who have to change shifts too frequently
C. the fact that people working at night are often less effective
D. the fact that it is difficult to find a number of good night workers
14.
It is possible to find out if a person has adapted to the changes of routine by measuring his body temperature
because______.
A. body temperature changes when the cycle of sleep and wakefulness alternates
B. body temperature changes when he changes to night shift or back
C. the temperature reverses when the routine is changed
D. people have higher temperatures when they are working efficiently
15.
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Body temperature may serve as an indication of a worker's performance.
B. The selection of a number of permanent night shift workers has proved to be the best solution to problems of the round
-the-clock working system.
C. Taking body temperature at regular intervals can show how a person adapts to the changes of routine
D. Disturbed sleep occurs less frequently among those on permanent night or day shifts.

TEXT D
Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together
they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national
pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the
Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the
tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by
minor national contests.
One country received its second place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final, There had been noisy scenes
at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals
should not have been disallowed and that their opponents' victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said: "This
wasn't hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished." The president of the Federation said later that
such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their
contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it
was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to
the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball
match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The
American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The
suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in nonnational teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the
present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.
17. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have______.
A. created goodwill between the nations
B. bred only false national pride
C. barely showed any international friendship
D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred
18. The author gives the two examples in paragraphs 2 and 3 to show______.
A. how false national pride leads to undesirable incidents in international games
B. that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to be
C. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendship
D. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games
19. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.
C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.
D. International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.
