Furthermore, (8) ........................ European recycling laws and higher landfill taxes mean that the days of dumping waste into landfill sites are almost at an end.

Part IV. Reading Comprehension Choose the best answer to each question based on the information which is stated or implied in the text.
Text 1 The planet Mars has always captured the human imagination. There is its redness. We know now that the color comes from chemical reactions that long ago locked up Mars's oxygen in reddish minerals on its surface, causing the "rusting" "r usting" of the planet. To the ancient people, the red color meant only one thing: blood. From the earliest times, Mars has been associated with bloodshed. Even the astronomical symbol for Mars, a circle with an arrow pointing at 2 o'clock, is supposed to represent a shield and a spears. As astronomers used telescopes, Mars mythology grew. It was the Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli who, in 1877, produced the most lasting bit of Martian folklore. He saw what he took to be long, thin, unnaturally u nnaturally straight lines on the Martian surface. He called them canali, a word that can translate into English either as "channels" or "canals." Unfortunately, the latter translation was used, and the canals of Mars were born. Of course, if there were canals, there had to be canal builders, so once more Mars was peopled with all manner of intelligent life forms! In 1965 Mariner 4 sent back first close-up pictures of the Martian surface. Not only were there no canals, but Mariner 4 and the spacecraft that followed revealed a planet that was a cratered, lifeless desert. We have subsequently learned that Mars is home to Olympus Mons, Mo ns, the largest volcano in the entire solar system, and to t o a canyon system stretching for almost 3,000 miles around the Martian equator. The atmosphere is extremely thin (equivalent to that at 130,000 feet above Earth) and made up almost a lmost entirely of carbon dioxide. The surface is cold, almost never getting above freezing even at the summertime equator. Perhaps the greatest surprise were the photographs from Mariner 9 in 1971 and 1972 that showed channels on the surface. Now these were not Schiaparelli's canali there's, no way these channels could be seen by even the most powerful earthbound telescope. They are unmistakable water courses, however. There is no water in them now, but they trace out the path of water that flowed in the past. They are like the dry river of the American West, through which water from rain flows, but which are dry most of the time. Water once ran on the surface of Mars. Newinexplorations on Mars the spacecraft Pathfinder, dueabout to arrive arr ive on the surface 1997, are planned to by give scientists more information possible pastplanet's life on Mars. One of Pathfinder's missions will be to lay the foundation for future efforts to find fossil remains of living things. The landing site for the Mars Pathfinder is going to be b e the mouth of a flood channel called Ares Vallis. 1.

Text 2 An important new industry, oil refining, grew after the Civil War. Crude oil, or petroleum-a dark, thick ooze from the earth-had been known for hundreds of years. But little use had ever been made of it. In the 1850's 1850' s Samuel M. Kier, a manufacturer in western Pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local seepages and refining it into kerosene. Refining, like smelting, is a process of removing impurities from a raw material. Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum. The first oil well was drilled by E. L. Drake, a retired railroad conductor. In 1859 he began drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it "Drake's Folly." But when he had drilled down about 70 feet (21 meters), me ters), Drake struck oil. His well began to yield 20 barrels of crude oil a day. News of Drake's success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860's these wildcatters were drilling for "black gold" all over western Pennsylvania. The boom rivaled the California gold rush of 1S4S in its i ts excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush. Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. It was sold in grocery stores and door-to-door. In the 1880s and 1890s refiners learned how to make other petroleum products Such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum was not then used to make gasoline or heating oil. 6. A. B. C. D.

Text 3 Beavers, North American largest rodents, appear to lead such exemplary lives that trapper once rather romantically observed that "beavers follow close to the line of the Ten Commandments." The Ten Commandments do not mention anything about building damslodges, and canals, however, and the beaver's penchant for doing so has got it into a lot of hot water lately. Fishing enthusiasts in the Midwest and New England are complaining about beaver dams that spoil streams for trout and, in the Southeast, lumber companies object whenever the animals flood out valuable stands of commercial timber. But some beaver experts champion a more charitable view. Historically, they say, this creature’s impact on the environment has been tremendously significant and its potential as a practical conservation resource is receiving more and more attention. When it comes to modifying the landscape in a major way, the beaver ranks second only to humans among all living creatures. "Some people think of the beaver the same way they think of the gypsy moth." said one scientist. "They think it just comes through and eats and destroys. What they don t understand is the tact that for centuries this animal has controlled the character of the forests and streams that it occupies." 11.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

Text 5 With the show Rodeo, Agnes de Mille had been an innovator in the world of ballet. But with the show Oklohomo she revolutionized the Broadway stage-brought to an end e nd the dance line routine of high kicks and mechanized movement, and gave in its place dance and plot smoothly integrated, choreography reinforcing the action. Twenty five years later, in March, 1968, a N New ew York Times article by theater critic Walter Kerr, headed "In the beginning was Oklahomo" stated, “Oklahomo had a plot. It had to do with whether a boy would succeed in taking a girl to a pioni lunch”. At the end of the first half this great issue was still unresolved, so unresolved that its emotional implications had to be danced out at a great length in what remains the most exhilarating dancing ever devised for the United States musical comedy stage. The impact of Okloriomo, was instantaneous. The song 'Beautiful Morning’sounded out via v ia radios, in restaurants, from cars passing on o n the highways in shoeshine parlors. Full skirts of gingham patterns, street shoes made to look like ballet slippers, the ponytail hairdo, were the rage. The play ran for five years and nine weeks in New York Yor k City. A traveling road company played it for nine and a half years. It also toured abroad for several years. In 1955 it became a movie. A newly assembled all star company was sent abroad by the State Department as representative of a part of United States culture.

Text 6 Cells cannot remain alive outside certain limits of temperature, and much narrower limits mark the boundaries of effective functioning. Enzyme systems of mammals and birds are most efficient only within a narrow range around 37 ℃; a departure of a few degrees from this value seriously impairs their functioning. Even though cells can survive wider fluctuations, the integrated actions of bodily systems are impaired. Other animals have a wider tolerance for changes of bodily temperature. For centuries it has been recognized that mammals and birds differ from other animals in the way they regulate body temperature. Ways of characterizing the difference have become more accurate and meaningful over time, but popular terminology still reflects the old division into "warm - blooded" and "cold - blooded" species; warm - blooded included mammals and birds, whereas all other creatures were considered cold - blooded. As more species were studied, it became evident that this classification was inadequate. A fence lizard or a desert iguana-each iguana -each cold - blooded-usually bas a body temperature only a degree or two below that of humans an and d so is not cold. Therefore the next distinction was made between animals that maintain a constant body temperature, called homeotherms, and those whose body temperature varies with their environment, called poikilotherms, But this classification also proved inadequate. because among mammals there are many that vary their body temperatures during hibernation. Furthermore, many invertebrates that live in the depths of the ocean never experience a change in the chill of the deep water, and their body temperatures remain constant. 19
The current distinction is between animals whose body temperature is regulated chiefly 'by ' by internal metabolic processes " and those whose temperature is regulated by, and who get most of their heat from, the environment. The former are called endotherms, and the latter are called ectotherms. Most ectotherms do regulate their body temperature, and they do so mainly by locomoting to favorable sites or by changing their exposure to-external sources of heat. Endotherms (mainly mammals, and birds) also regulate regula te their temperature by choosing favorable environments, but primarily they regulate their temperature by making a variety of internal adjustments. 26.

Text 7 A folk culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly h ighly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonal relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though duties many differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries 20
such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern-equivalent in Anglo-America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving device of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse - drawn buggies still serve as a local transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish's central religious concept of Demut, "humility", clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith,Byprovides the principalculture mechanism for maintaining -order. contrast, a popular is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic i ndividualistic and constantly changing. Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists, leading to the establishment of many specialized professions. Secular institutions of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining ma intaining order, and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts, "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk". The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized i ndustrialized countries and in many developing nations, Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner. 31.
