Measurements are needed in many everyday activities. In kitchens you will find measures for
volume
(measuring
cups),
mass
(scales
and
weights),
and
temperature
(cooking
thermometers).
Accurate
measurements
are
11
important
for
scientific
experiments.
In
a
laboratory,
make
sure your measure meets your needs.
12
using any thermometer, double check that it covers
the
right
temperature
13
for
your
activity
or
experiment.
A
garden
thermometer,
14
,
will burst if you try to use it for boiling liquids.
There are different systems of measures. Most scientists now use the International System of
measures, with meters for length, kilograms for
15
, and seconds for time. If the measures in
your experiment show other units, appropriate conversion tables for different systems may prove
to be very useful.

Young visitors to museums often complain about having museum feet, the tired feeling one
gets after spending too much time in a museum. A case of museum feet makes one feel like saying:
“This is
21
. I could have done the painting myself. When can we sit down? What time is
it?”
Studies of museum behavior show that the average visitor spends about four seconds looking
at
one
object.
For
young
visitors,
the
time
span
can
be
22
shorter.
Children
are
more
interested in smells, sounds, and the “feel” of a place than looking at a work of art. If they stay in a
museum
too
long,
a
feeling
of
boredom
and
monotony
will
build
up,
leading
23
to
impatience and fatigue.
To
24
museum feet, try not to have children look at too many things in one visit. It is
reported that young visitors get more out of a visit if they focus on
25
nine objects. One and
a half hours is the ideal time to keep their eyes and minds sharp, and their feet happy!
21. (A) boring
(B) difficult
(C) cool
(D) exciting
22. (A) almost
(B) also

In
the
desert
of
southwest
Peru,
enormous
shapes,

patterns,
and
thousands
of
perfectly straight lines are cut into the desert’s surfac

500

kilometers.
There
are
about
fifty
animal
figures
27
275
meters
long, including a monkey, a spider, and an “owl man.” The last of these lines were drawn about
1,000 years ago. More
28
is the fact that they can be viewed only from the air. Some people
believe the Nazca Indians were
29
able to fly, perhaps in balloons. Others say the lines were
landing areas for alien spaceships. Maybe the lines were to carry water for farming, or were used
as
a
calendar.

With one out of every
two
American marriages ending in divorce, custody of children has
become an issue in the American society. Up until the late 1970s, it had been common practice in
the United States to automatically
31
custody to the mother when a divorce occurred.
However,
since
the
1970s,
this
practice
has
been
32
.
Most
custody
battles
today
are
decided, in theory, on the basis of who is the more fit parent for the child. The reality, nevertheless,
is that most women still win custody of their children in a
33
.
This
legal
change
was
the
result
of
the
social
changes
that
34
in
the
United
States
during
the
1960s
and
1970s.
These
changes
challenged
many
of
the
35
roles
men
and
women
were
expected
to
play.
As
a
36
,
it
is
not
uncommon
nowadays
to
find
women
working outside their homes and being very
37
about their careers and personal lives. It is
also not
38
to see men accepting roles that were once considered the exclusive domain of
women, such as shopping for groceries, driving their children to and from school, or cleaning their
homes.
Because of the
39
in the divorce rate, the change in the roles that men and women are
expected to play, and the changing attitude of the judicial system toward child custody, more men
have started to
40
for and win custody of their children when divorce occurs.
(A) award
(B) challenged
(C) concerned
(D) consequence
(E) divorce
(F) fight
(G) increase
(H) took place
(I) traditional
(J) unusual

Many
people
say
that
is
just
a
faster
way
to
deliver
letters.
The
fact
is
that
letter
writing
and
are
completely
different
processes.
Handwritten
or
typed,
letters
travel
in
envelopes through actual space and take time getting from one place to another.
41
. If I am
writing on paper to my brother in Kenya, I will be less likely to complain about the breakfast I had
this morning. I will probably write about my relationships and some things that I’ve been thinking
about.
42
People
tend
to
regard
letters
as
important.
My
brother
might
save
my
letter;
he
might read it back to me years from now.
43
It
is
instant,
traveling
from
point
to
point.
If
you
don’t
it
out,
the
message
doesn’t physically exist. With e
-mail, geography is no obstacle and time is not important.
44
The
ease
of
this
kind
of
writing
and
sending
probably
makes
for
a
different
kind
of
communication. I can complain about the breakfast I had this morning or rattle on about friends
and
movies.
That
is
because
I
am
not
so
focused
on
style
and
profundity.
45
My
brother
might glance at my mail, have a laugh, and then delete it.
(A) E-mail is different.
(B) The downside is, I might be less likely to say something deeper.
(C) The time and distance, as a matter of fact, influence the letter-writer.
(D) I can zap a message to Kenya whenever I want to, and it gets there almost in a second.
(E) I will also take more care with my style, trying to write in a way that is interesting and worth
reading.
