Your mobile phone vibrates in your
pocket. ‘Need to see you,’ reads the screen.
Nothing new, considering that texting
is currently the most common form of
long-distance communication. But how
were messages conveyed in the past?
One of the first methods was the smoke
signal. This practice was used by
Chinese soldiers guarding the Great
Wall to warn of the enemy’s approach. The
Greeks invented a whole alphabet of
smoke signals for sending messages. But it was
2
Native
Americans who made the system mobile by carrying
small bunches of dried
grasses around
with them. These could be lit quickly from any
place at any time.
Moving
on to messages transmitted by sound, an early
technique was the drum.
Drums are still
used today in the rainforests of Africa, Papua New
Guinea and
Central and South America
for broadcasting news. The instrument is made from
a
piece of wood, which is empty inside,
and this is hit with a stick. On receiving the
message, each village passes it on to
the next, which means that news can travel at up
to 150 km an hour.
In some parts of the world, humans are
able to convey messages over long
distances without using instruments. On
La Gomera, one of the Canary Islands,
people use
Silbo
,
or the ‘whistling language’ to communicate across
the valleys
. The
language
involves the use of the tongue, lips and hands to
make sounds, which can
travel up to 5
km. To ensure its continuation,
Silbo
is currently a
compulsory subject
in primary and
secondary schools on the island.
A look at long-distance communication
would not be complete without
mentioning the art of
yodelling
. This is a form of
singing, in which the voice changes
sound levels very quickly, making it
easily heard over long distances. It is believed
that the technique was developed in the
Swiss Alps, but it is also found in other
places such as Central Africa. At one
time,
yodelling
was popular
in theatres and
music halls, but this
is no longer so.
24. What was most
remarkable about the Greeks’ system of smoke
signals?
A. It could
communicate words.
B. It
could be used instantly.
C. It could
mislead the enemy.
D. It could stop wars from breaking
out.
25. What is the advantage of
communicating by drums?
A. The length
of the message.
B. The
simplicity of the instrument.
C. The
speed of the transmission.
D. The volume of the sound.
26. What would be an accurate
definition of ‘yodelling’?
A. Moving frequently between high and
low notes.
B. Singing a recognizable
tune in harmony.
C. Using music with a
really strong beat.
D.
Shouting in a loud voice.
27. Which of
the following would be the best title for the
passage?
A. Is That Strange?
B. Get the Message?
C. The
Old Technology

D. The History
of Information
C
My first
introduction to Chinese art was an early morning
walk in Beihai Park in
Beijing. There,
I saw elderly people writing on the pavement with
paintbrushes
which were a metre long! I
soon learned that they were doing water
calligraphy ?
writing in water. The
words have meanings, but they are also art. The
calligraphy
quickly disappears, of
course. But tomorrow, the old people will be back.
Temporary art like this is
very popular in China. Every winter, Harbin, in
northern China, is visited by sculptors
and tourists from around the world. They
come for the Harbin Ice Festival, when
the city has huge sculptures made out of ice.
The sculptures are bigger than houses,
and they take weeks to make. Harbin’s
freezing winter temperatures make it
very difficult for the artists to work outside.
But
the weather also means that the
sculptures will be protected until the spring.
Of course, not all Chinese
art is temporary ? some of it has been around for
a
very long time! Near the city of
Xi’an, I visited the amazing terracotta warriors,
or
soldiers. In 200 BC, 8,000 statues
of soldiers were made by sculptors out of a
material called terracotta. They are as
big as real people and they all have different
faces. An important king had the
statues produced to protect his body after he
died.
They stayed under the ground with
the dead king for over 2,000 years, until they
were discovered by a farmer in 1974.
At the China Art Museum, in
Shanghai, I saw wonderful 16th-century Chinese
paintings of tall mountains, trees and
cliffs. The paintings were beautiful, but they
didn’t look very realistic to me at the
time.
‘Mountains aren’t like
that,’ I thought.
But that was before
the last stop on my trip: the mountains of
Zhangjiajie National
Park.
These mountains were used by film
director James Cameron in his sci-fi film
Avatar
because they look
like something from another planet. On my last
weekend in
China, I took a cable car up
into the mountains there. Trees grew on the sides
of
hundred-metre cliffs, and strange
towers of rock appeared out of the morning fog. It
looked just like the pictures in the
China Art Museum. For a moment, I felt like I was
inside a Chinese painting!
28. According to the passage, what is
true about the people in Beihai Park?
A. They introduced themselves to the
writer.
B. Some of them
were writing graffiti (
涂鸦
).
C. Their art didn’t last
ve
ry long.
D.
They use paint and big brushes.
29. What does the author say about the
ice festival in Harbin?
A.
The sculptures don’t last long.
B. It’s only popular with local people.
C. It’s easy to make
sculptures out of ice.
D.
The winter weather both helps and causes problems.

30. What is true about the terracotta
soldiers of Xi’an according to the passage?
A. They all look exactly
the same.
B. Nobody saw
them for a long time.
C.
Many people died making them.
D. They are bigger than real people.
31. Which statement
describes the author’s feelings about Chinese art?
A. She particularly liked
Chinese paintings made long time ago.
B. She was impressed by different types
of Chinese art.
C. She did
not think it was very realistic.
D. She was surprised that it was so
old.

Daily
physical activity is an important part of a
healthy lifestyle. For this reason,
many architects and designers are
working to create buildings that encourage people
to make exercise a part of their
ordinary routine. The movement to promote healthy
activity through architecture is called
active design. It began in 1998 as part of a
university public health program, and
it has since gained popularity in cities around
the world. Active design uses a number
of techniques to encourage the occupants of a
building to be more active.
One of the most important strategies of
active design is inspiring people to make
walking part of their routine. A
particularly successful tool for promoting walking
is
the skip-stop elevator. These
elevators stop only on every second or third
floor,
leaving riders to take the
stairs in order to reach their destination.
Another strategy of
active design is to
make stairs more pleasant and inviting. Instead of
creating dark
stairwells that are
located in isolated parts of buildings, active
design uses well-lit and
centrally
placed stairs to encourage more foot traffic.
Skip-stop elevators and
appealing stair
design are both effective tools of active design
because they offer
incentive
and opportunity for exercise. In fact, researchers
studying a building that
employs both
skip-stop elevators and more attractive stair
design said that 70 percent
of building
occupants reported using the stairs every day.
Active design encourages physical
activity using not only the interior features of
a building, but the relationship
between a building and its surroundings as well. A
building that employs active design may
integrate outdoor space in order to make the
environment more engaging and promote
physical activity. Some elements that
architects use to incorporate the
exterior with the interior are glass walls,
interior
gardens or park spaces, and
courtyards with open ceilings, all of which de-
emphasize
the boundaries between inside
and outside. These elements make the building more
physically and mentally invigorating.
Similarly, by increasing the number of
entrances and exits to a building,
architects can help keep a building’s users
interested
in their surroundings by
providing a variety of routes for them to use. If
people
continue to be stimulated by new
sights or experiences, they are less likely to
choose
5
the quickest and easiest path to their
destination and may instead choose a more
physically challenging route.
32. What does the underlined word
“incentive” in p
aragraph 2 mean?
A. requirement
C. technique
B.
encouragement
D. assistance
33. Why does the author discuss dark
stairwells in paragraph 2?
A. To
demonstrate the differences between elevator and
stairwell design.
B. To
describe one advantage of using skip-stop
elevators in buildings.
C.
To make a point about why people don’t use the
stairs often.
D. To argue
that skip-stop elevators may lead to design
failures.
34. Which of the following is
NOT a way that architects weaken the boundary
between indoor and outdoor spaces?
A. Creating more routes for entering
and exiting.
B. Building
gardens inside the building.
C.
Creating spaces with open ceilings.
D. Using see-through materials.
35. How does paragraph 2
relate to paragraph 3 in the passage?
A. Para 2 describes an early model of a
design discussed in para 3.
B. Para 3
argues about the effectiveness of the technique
from para 2.
C. Para 3 introduces a
different strategy than the one discussed in para
2.
D. Para 2 explains a technique, and
para 3 gives examples of how it is used.

Identical twins are
born when an egg divides into two, resulting in
the birth of
two children with
identical genes.
36
Some believe, however, that there is
also a close connection between twins
in the way they think, not just in the way they
look. Twins finish each other’s
sentences, and share the same tastes in clothes or
music. Some have argued that identical
twins have mysterious, even psychic, powers.
Although many identical twins claim to
know what the other is thinking, there is
no evidence to suggest that this is
because of special powers.
37
Most of
us have met up with
a brother or sister, or close friend, and
immediately asked,
“What’s wrong?”
because we have unconscious
ly
recognized, in their facial
expression,
that they are upset in some way. Signs we would
miss in a stranger’s
behavior are
instantly obvious in the way those close to us
act. It is hardly surprising
that twins
notice the way their brother or sister’s
fac
ial expressions or body language
6
gives away how they feel. Indeed, the
closeness of their bond is likely to improve this
ability over the years.
The
media is full of stories in which a twin senses
her brother or sister to be in
trouble.
38
Damien Croft
developed a bad headache one evening and,
concerned, felt the need to phone his
brother to check if everything was OK. When
there was no reply, he drove to his
brother’s home, only to find him unconscious,
having had an epileptic fit
(
癫痫症
) and fallen from a
ladder while decorating. On the
face of
it, his sixth sense had saved the day.
39
Damien knew his brother
was
decorating, and knew that he was prone to
epileptic fits. Subconsciously
concerned, he had just imagined the
worst-case situation.
40
.
A. We all know
such twins are often very similar in appearance.
B. The fact that something awful had
happened was only a coincidence.
C. In
contrast, there are many other stories which can
be more easily explained.
D. In truth,
of course, the events might also be explained in
more ordinary terms.
E. Recent studies
show the reasons of all those cases of mysterious
happenings
between identical twins.
F. In a recent, widely-reported case,
for example, a young man survived a horrific
fall thanks to a feeling his twin is
supposed to have had.
G. A more
believable explanation is that, like any pair of
people who have grown
up together, they
are just good at understanding the thought
processes behind
what their twin does.
