Task 5Directions: Read the following passage. After reading it, you are required to read the questions and then complete the answers below them (No. 56 through No. 60). You should write your answers briefly on the Answer Sheet correspondingly. Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. Even so, more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the deserts in time. Why is more and more land becoming desert Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth. Some places on the earth do not get very much rain. Yet they still do not become deserts. This is because there are some green plants growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants help keep water in the earth. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily. A man decides to make a farm in a very dry place. He cuts down the trees. He digs in the earth and takes away the grass and plants that are already growing on the dry land. He makes a farm. He puts plants in rows. The sun is very hot. It makes the land even drier. When the rain comes, it runs between the rows of plants. It washes the good dirt away. When the wind comes, it blows between the rows of plants. It blows the good dirt away. Soon the land is not good enough for a farm anymore. The man lets his animals eat all the plants on it. Now the land does not have any plants on it. The sun and wind dry the land and blow all of the good dirt away. Now the land is a desert. How can we make deserts into good land againBring ____________________ and grow ______________________.

Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task t. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. In everyday usage "hot" means "having a lot of heat". Many people think that "cold" is something completely separated from heat. But this is not true. "Cold" simply means "having little heat". Your life depends on heat. In fact, every living thing depends on it. Without heat, every living thing would be frozen to death. All living things get their heat from the sun, which provides the conditions in which life is possible. Since before the dawn of history, man has been able to make his own heat. He has been able to release the sun’s heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal, and oil. And he has been able to use this heat. Heat has made civilization possible. With heat, man could melt metals. As man learned to use metals and fuels, industries grew. As a result, engines were invented. These are machines that change heat energy into mechanical energy. Engine can do the work of many men. Without engines industrial civilization is impossible. Yet when the first engines were built in the 17th century, men were still wondering about the nature of heat. "What is it" they asked. Not until the early years of the 19th century did they find the right answer. From the last two sentences of the passage, we can see ______.
In less than 30 year’s time the Star Trek holodeck will be a reality. Direct links between the brain’s nervous system and a computer will also create full sensory virtual environments, allowing virtual vacations like those in the film Total Recall.61) There will be television chat shows hosted by robots, and cars with pollution monitors that will disable them when they offend. 62) Children will play with dolls equipped with personality chips, computers with in-built personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools, relaxation will be in front of smell-television, and digital age will have arrived.According to BT’s futurologist, Ian Pearson, these are among the developments scheduled for the first few decades of the new millennium(a period of 1,000 years), when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life.63) Pearson has pieced together to work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place. Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine, including an extended life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs coming into use between now and 2040.Pearson also predicts a breakthrough in computer human links. "By linking directly to our nervous system, computers could pick up what we feel and, hopefully, simulate feeling too so that we can start to develop full sensory environments, rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck," he says. 64) But that, Pearson points out, is only the start of man-machine integration:" It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century."Through his research, Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted. However, there are still no forecasts for when faster-than-light travel will be available, or when human cloning will be perfected, or when time travel will be possible. But he does expect social problems as a result of technological advances. A boom in neighborhood surveillance cameras will, for example, cause problems in 2010, while the arrival of synthetic lifelike robots will mean people may not be able to distinguish between their human friends and the droids. 65)And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorder—kitchen rage. Pearson has pieced together to work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place.
