Each (32) was virtually a stone town, (33) is why the Spanish would later (34) them pueblos, the Spanish word (35) towns. These pueblos represent one of the Anasazis’ supreme achievements. At least a dozen large stone houses (36) shape below the bluffs of Chaco Canyon in northwest New Mexico. They were built with masonry walls more than a meter thick and adjoining apartments to (37) dozens, even hundreds, of families. The largest, later named Pueblo Bonito (Pretty Town) (38) the Spanish, rose in five terraced stories, contained more than 800 rooms, and could have housed a population of 1,000 or (39) Besides living quarters, each (40) included one or more kivascircular underground chambers faced with stone.

Friend: OK, so what happened when you got to the airport Pauline: Well, I waited in queue for ages and finally it was my turn to come up to the desk. So I presented my passport and she said, "I think you need a visa". And I said, "No, I don’t. I was there six years ago and it was OK then". So…and she said, "Well your travel agent should have told you". So anyway she went away to check and when she came back I just knew by the look on her face that I needed a visa. And my flight was going to go just then. And I said," What will I do" And so she called over the OSL rep, they’re the people I booked through, and they were very nice to me and they said," Well, you’ve got to go to London and get your visa. "And I said" Well can’t you have it at the airport" And they said" No". So then they said, "Well the best thing to do is to get on this coach and go down to London". So I got on a coach but there was pea-soup fog everywhere and so I sat on the motorway for two hours. And the whole time thinking what I am doing And so I got down to London. And it took literally three minutes. I filled in a form. They stamped my passport, 3 pounds thanks. And then I had to ring the airline and try to get a flight out. And they kept saying "Ring back in an hour. Ring back in an hour. Ring back in an hour". And every time I had to ring back they’d say "Sorry. Well, the nearest flight we’ve got is from Newcastle tomorrow morning. " Friend: Oh, no. You didn’t go to Newcastle. Pauline: No, I didn’t go to Newcastle. Luckily, they kept ringing and ringing and ringing and meantime I had to kill time in Green Park. It was a hot, hot day and I was carrying all my luggage and I then kept walking back to Victoria Station. Friend: Oh, you weren’t in Luton. You were waiting in London. Pauline: That’t right. I then went to London. And then , so I kept ringing and then eventually they got me a flight out to airport…er to lbiza. Friend: From Luton Pauline: No, from Gatwick actually. So then because I was in London that was nearer Gatwick, I had to then stay in London so I had to phone a friend and he was out for two hours, and then he wouldn’t be home for another two hours so I killed four hours before I got to him, stayed the night with him. He drove me to the airport the next morning. Then the plane was delayed. So I was getting really frightened by this time. And so then eventually I got on the plane and it was delayed by engine trouble and so on. And then I got out there, and I got out there five minutes after the airline office closed and there was no message for me. Friend: Oh my God. Pauline: So I thought "I don’t know what to do". And all the other people kept saying "Well, get in a taxi" and you know what it’s like in a foreign country. You think "I can’t get in a taxi. It’ll cost the earth". But in fact they said "Well it’s never far in these places". And so then I decided. OK, so I got in a taxi. Friend: But you had the address Pauline: Well luckily…I didn’ t have the address before I left home but luckily at Luton airport I’d asked for the address, so I had the address. Right. So then the taxi drove me out to the airport…er…to the villa, and we took ages to find it. We were searching round eventually found it… She stayed a night with one of her friends in London.

Answer questions 71-80 by referring to the comments on the economy of three different countries/region in the following magazine article. Note: Answer each question by choosing A, B or C and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1. Some choices may be required more than once.A=Indonesia B=Hong Kong C=CanadaWhich country/region… Indonesia The period under review (1994-98) has been one of great contrast for Indonesian. After three decades of continuous growth fostered by political, social and macro-economic stability, the Asian economic crisis of 1997 has sown the seeds of major change in Indonesia’s economic and financial structures, which prompted calls for reform. Trade and foreign direct investment have been at the heart of Indonesia’s economic policy. In the face of the recent economic crisis, the Government undertook to accelerate the pace of reforms and to remove many remaining restrictions on domestic and international trade. From 1994 to 1996, real GDP grew on average by 8% annually. Although economic activity started to decelerate in the second half of 1996, the financial crisis of 1997 transformed a soft landing of the Indonesian economic into a serious recession. Indonesia’s international trade has also been severely affected by the recession in the country and elsewhere in Asia. Imports, which increased by nearly 27% in 1995, declined by 3% in U. S. dollar value in 1997 before failing by 30% in the first quarter of 1998. Exports a major element that could have stimulated activity in current circumstances, have fallen (in value terms) as a result of the slump in demand elsewhere in Asia. The causes of the financial and currency turmoil are multiple and complex. External factors, such as the withdrawal of international investors from Asia in the wake of the Thai, Philippines and Korean Crisis, were compounded by internal developments, particularly growing uncertainty about economic, social and political stability in Indonesia. Hong Kong The period under review (1994-95) was marked by two main events. The first was Hong Kong’s reversion to the People’s Republic of China, on 1 July 1997, and its designation as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) with a high degree of autonomy with regard to economic (and most other) policies under the "one country, two systems" framework established in accordance with the Basic Law. Hong Kong is one of, if not the most liberal among WTO members. There is no indication that Hong Kong’s traditional openness to trade and foreign investment has been affected by reunification, and as such, the present economic regime may be broadly characterized as "business as usual". The second main event during the review period was the outbreak of the economic crisis in Thailand in July 1997 and its spread to other countries in and beyond South East Asia. The crisis, and the associated drop in demand throughout the region, has seriously impaired Hong Kong’s economic performance since the third quarter of 1997, causing a dramatic slow-down in economic activity. Nor, it would appear, has the Government attempted to influence the long-run structural evolution of Hong Kong’s economy during the period under review. One of the main features of this evolution has been the increasingly closer links with the fast-developing adjacent region of South China. In response to domestic calls for the Government to take action in order to alleviate, if not reverse, the recent slow-down in economic growth and the consequent rise in unemployment, in June 1998 the Government introduced a package of relief measures. Apart from the implementation of a few "emergency" measures, the authorities have largely refrained from interfering with the normal functioning of the free-market system. Canada Canada has continued to pursue an outward-oriented strategy that, combined with prudent macroeconomic policies, has been integral to a recent strong growth performance. Over the last two years, Canada has participated in regional and multilateral initiatives that have further liberalized its generally open economy. It has also demonstrated its commitment to a strong multilateral trading system through an active and constructive participation in all aspects of work in the WTO. Domestic initiatives to lower interprovincial trade barriers, and move forward internal deregulation, enhance transparency, and rationalize the import regime have helped Canadian producers to adapt to the challenges, and to take advantage of the opportunities resulting from greater market access both at home and abroad. Economic activity has reflected strong private consumption and investment. Developments in the past two years have confirmed trade as a major determinant of Canada’s economic performance. Exports continued to benefit from the United States’ cyclical lead, supported by efficiency gains in the Canadian economy. The U. S. share in Canadian trade has risen further, to some 83% of merchandise exports and 67% of imports. Canada’s aggregate output thus remains exposed to slower growth in the United States. The financial crisis in Asia has had so far a limited impact on Canada’s overall economic growth, as only 8% of Canadian exports are destined for that region. Nevertheless, the crisis has been felt distinctively in western Canada and, if protracted, could have significant indirect effects on the economy as a whole. has been broadly characterized by its openness to trade and foreign investment 71. . has a strong link with the U. S. economy 72. . was severely impaired in its economy by he crisis in and beyond South-east Asia 73. . called for reform in economic and financial structures, which was particularly true during the crisis in South-east Asia 74. . has strengthened links with the Southern part of China 75. . wants to lower inter-provincial trade barriers to strengthen internal deregulation 76. . is the one where the lack of stability in economy, society and politics blocked its economic development 77. . was a special Administrative Region within one country with a high degree of autonomy 78. . takes advantage of market both at home and abroad 79. . is a very liberal WTO member or actively involved in the work in WTO 80. ____ .

In the following article some paragraphs have been removed. For Questions 66～70, choose the most suitable paragraph from the list A～F to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There is one paragraph which does not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.Over breakfast Florian loan Wells, a 33-year-old aerospace engineer, and Craig Parsley, a 25-year-old environmental technician, discussed their plan for that day, May 14, 1983. They were going to climb one of Mt. Garfield’s western peaks, a minor if perilous crag in the Cascade Range east of Seattle. For them it was a routine climb, and neither had bothered to pinpoint for his wife where he would be.When they reached the mountain, the sky was cloudy and the temperature was 34 degree Fahrenheit. Conditions weren’t ideal, but the men decided to continue on, hoping the weather would hold.It was 8 a. m. when they started for the 4896-foot-high summit.66. .All morning, they took turns leading. The pitch of the granite face averaged 70 degrees, about the steepness of a ladder placed against a house.It began to rain-a few drops at first, then a steady downpour. Florian was troubled; if the rain continued, they would have to turn back. It was 11 a. m. , and they were about halfway up the face.67. .Thrown off balance, Florian screamed, "Watch out ! "Then he fell backward, head down, scraping and bumping against the rock. Instinctively he rotated, feet down, fumbling for something to grab.Craig saw his friend slip back and heard his yell. As Florian dropped twice the length of the rope between the two of them, about 120 feet, Craig braced himself. "I’m going to have to absorb one whale of a pull when i stop him," he thought. Then the rope tightened with a bornjarring wrench and yanked Craig off the rock face. Hurtling forward on his belly, Craig tried to stop himself with his hands, tearing skin from his palms.68. .Like Florian, Craig turned his body to a feet-down position. He slammed into a small ledge, which spun him around like a rag doll. Crashing forward headfirst again, he clutched frantically at anything that interrupted the smooth rock face, pulling several fingers out of their sockets.Florian, too, was desperately trying to find a way to stop his fall. He caught a narrow ledge with his right foot, but the leg bent uselessly beneath him. Looking beyond his dangling feet, he saw a 500-foot vertical drop ending in a small pool. Florian closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable yank, when Craig’s plunging body would pull him from his position to go screaming into the abyss.69. .Craig has grabbed a finger-size twig sticking out of the rock face. Hanging by his right arm, he felt a wave of pain sweep over him and realized that his shoulder was broken. Craig grabbed a piton with his left hand, set it in a mossfilled crack and drove it to the jilt with his hammer.Meanwhile, Florian had hauled himself onto his ledge. Wedging himself in place with one arm and leg, he fumbled some jam huts from his harness and secured them in small cracks. The two climbers were safe, temporarily. Yet they clung to the lip of a sheer drop, a 50-story fall to certain death.70. __ .Craig slid down the ripe to Florian, and it was then Florian found out that his partner’s injuries were worse than his own. Craig’s shoulder was broken and his right wrist and both ankles were fractured.The situation looked bleak. It was raining and temperatures would fall below freezing that night. Their wives did not expect them back until much later and did not know their location. If the climbers stayed on the rock face, they would die from exposure or blood loss."I’m going down," Florian told Craig. "When I get to the truck, I’ll use the CR radio to call for help. "A. But the lethal tug never came. Instead there was silence followed by an anguished yell, Looking up, he saw Craig dangling by one arm from a small ledge.B. Craig took the lead. Seeking out tiny cracks and crevices in which to wedge his fingers and the toes of his climbing shoes, he worked his way 165 feet up the length of his rope. Then he planted some pitons-large, flat nails with eyelets-in a crack, secured his rope through them and told Florian to start climbing.C. Florian fastened his rope around his waist, and Craig lowered him the length of the rope. But to reach the bottom of the cliff, Florian had to make six long rappels. With one end of his rope belayed through a piton and the other wrapped around his body, he pushed off.D. Florian was leading, clinging to the wall 60 feet above Craig. In a crack at about shoulder height he planted a No. 2 jam nut. Properly anchored, the nut holds 500 pounds, but Florian didn’t like the look of the crack it was in. He bent down to. plant a larger No. 3 in, a better crack near his feet. As he did, he heard a "pop. " The No. 2 nut had torn loose.E. Florian now felt a pain in his fight leg. A jagged bone poked through his shoe. "My leg is broken," he cried to Craig.F. Now Florian was again sliding down the rock, barely touching it, a terrifying speed. "I wonder if it’s going to hurt to die," he thought. 70().
