Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Nuclear energy is seen as the new source of power for the future. Long ago 1 was thought that the atom was the smallest particle of 2 . About 60 years ago, 3 , scientists found that atoms of uranium, a sort of 4 like coal, could be split, and 5 make a lot of heat energy, 6 they were hit by large numbers of neutrons. After a lot of research, scientists found they could produce an even 7 amount of heat by splitting a 8 of atoms one after the other, in 9 is called a chain reaction. But this means that a lot of uranium is needed to 10 the fuel to produce the heat energy and the supply will 11 to an end soon. Fortunately, a new development could make uranium 12 in the production of nuclear power. There are certain types of atoms, 13 , when they hit each other 14 great speed, join together 5 of breaking apart, and it 16 produces energy. The material needed in this 17 can be found in sea-water, which covers more than three- 18 of the earth. Therefore, nuclear energy produced 19 this way could be the solution 20 the energy crisis.
A. replace
B. instead

Even though we have more choice of what to eat than forty years ago, the average diet of the average Briton is less healthy. In fact, according to recent research, British pets, eating specially prepared tinned food, have a healthier diet than most of their owners. Health ministers were alarmed at recent figures which show that Britain has the third worst record in Europe for heart disease. Cancer is also a growing cause of illness and death. This has led the government to try to launch a campaign to encourage healthier eating habits. Health ministers believe we should take a lesson from America, where death rates from heart disease have fallen. The American public is now much more aware of the link between diet and good health. The campaign will encourage the eating of less animal fat, salt and sugar than are consumed at present. It will show the advantages of eating more fresh fruit and vegetables. The Health Department is going to issue a booklet which will give guidance on what food to eat and what to avoid. Discussions are being held between the government and food manufacturers. Following these talks, food will be labeled so that consumers can clearly see how much fat, sugar and salt there is in the food products they buy. The word "launch" (Line 3, Para. 2) can be best replaced by ______.
A. decide
B. start
C. order
D. send
