Task 1When someone has money that he wants to put in a safe place, he naturally takes it to a bank. Until recently the very appearance of the bank building was designed to assure people that their money would be safe. There were thick, solid walls and barred windows. All the windows and doors were wired to set off the burglar alarms if anyone tried to force his way in. The vaults where the money was kept had huge, steel doors with complicated locks. Uniformed guards with pistols in their holsters were always on duty in the bank. The tellers’ cages - the cubicles where the bank clerks, or tellers, worked - actually resembled cages. They had gratings across the front, high sides and back, and a door that could be opened only by pushing a release button.The new style of bank design retains some of these protective features, but the idea now is to make the hank seem like a friendly place rather than a forbidding fortress. The tellers’ cages have been replaced by flat, unobstructed counters. The guards and burglar alarms are still there, but they are less noticeable than they used to be. According to the passage, which of the following statements is correct()

A. It is safer to put your money in a bank now.
B. Vaults have huge, steel doors in a new style bank.
C. Guards on duty in a bank will not carry guns now.
D. Bank clerks used to work in high sides and back chairs

Task 4In general, the ancient Romans were a practical people. They cared less about philosophy anti pure mathematics than did the Greeks. The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers anti architects. They were brilliant students of Greek geometry and trigonometry, and they applied their knowledge to the constructions of fine bridges, roads, aqueducts, and public buildings.They knew about the smelting of iron ore, but they used the iron they produced mainly for spears, swords, and shields, rather than for building construction.While the Romans accomplished practical wonders, they did very little theoretical scientific thinking. Because of their frequent wars, many of their inventions were no more than improvements in the design of Greek weapons with which they were familiar.There are two reasons for the Romans neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics. First, they were apparently too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste much time on abstract thinking. Secondly, they were handicapped by the rigidity of their numerical system. The Romans did all of their arithmetic on an abacus, the ancient counterpart of the modem computing machine. Their number system discouraged the study of pure mathematics. By saying that the ancient Romans were "practical", the writer means ().

A. they could use their knowledge in their constructions
B. they learned geometry and trigonometry very well
C. they paid no attention to philosophy and pure mathematics
D. they could became engineers and architects

Task 3The difficulties that would have to be encountered by anyone who attempted to explore the Moon would be incomparably greater than those that have to be faced in the endeavor to reach the summit of Mount Jolmo Lungma. In two respects only would the lunar explorer have the advantage. In the first place movement would be less fatiguing because the gravitational pull of the Moon is not very great, the weight of the Moon being only about one - eightieth of that of the Earth. If the Moon had an atmosphere like that of the Earth, a man playing golf on the Moon would find that he could drive his ball for a mile without much difficulty. The second advantage the lunar explorer would have over the climbers on Mount Jolmo Lungma would be the absence of strong wind to contend against. The Moon having no atmosphere, there can be no wind nor, of course, can there be any noise, for sound is carried by the air. The Moon is a world that is completely still and where utter silence prevails. It can be inferred from the passage that().

A. the gravity on the earth is 80 times as big as that on the moon
B. the weight of the earth equals the weight of 18 moons
C. a stone can be thrown far away very easily on the moon
D. the moon is a good place to play golf
