Section III Cloze (20 points)

The most extraordinary dream I ever _21_ was one in which I fancied that, as I was going into a theater, the clock-room attendant stopped me in the lobby and insisted on my _22_my legs behind. I was not surprised, but I was considerably annoyed. I said I had never heard of such a rule at any respectable theater _23_, and that I considered it a most absurd regulation. The man replied that he was very _24_, but that those were his instructions. People complained that they could not get to and from their _25_ comfortably, because other people’s legs were always in the way, and it had, therefore, been decided that _26_ should leave their legs outside. It seemed to me that the management, in making this order, had gone _27_ their legal right; and, under ordinary circumstances, I should have disputed it. However, I didn't want to _28_ a disturbance; so I sat down and meekly prepared to comply with the demand. I had never before _29_ that the human leg could be unscrewed. I had always thought it was more securely fixed. But the man showed me how to undo them, and I found that they came off quite easily. The discovery did not surprise _30_ any more than the original request that I should take them off. Nothing does surprise one in a dream.

Section IV Reading (20 points)

Questions 31~35 are based on the following passage.

One day, sixty-year-old Henry Ford went down a mine. He lay on his back in narrow tunnels and cut the coal from above his head. He came out black, wet, stiff and sore. He told his manager to make the tunnels wider and to improve and repair the miner’s houses.

When he got tired of waiting for the railways to deliver his coal, Henry Ford bought an old railway, which ran between Ohio and Detroit. People laughed. But he ran that railway and at a time when locomotive burnt coal and made everything dirty, his engines sheds and stations were painted white and kept that way.

He did not like the quality of the glass he was getting for his windscreens. So he bought a glass factory, improved it, and became—quite by accident—one of the world’s biggest glass producers. And yet all he wanted to do was build cars.

He was interested in everything, in radios, clocks and planes. He flew with Lindbergh just before the famous pilot made his first flight alone across the Atlantic. He even began to build planes.

Meanwhile, Henry and his wife Clara were as happy a couple as ever. They both loved birds, and often watched them together. Once, when a bird made its nests by the front door, everyone used the back door until the mother bird had brought up her family.

They also loved dancing, even in old age, and organized dancing classes for the school children in their town.

Running was Henry’s favorite exercise. Early one morning a gue st on the Ford private train noticed that they were going rather slowly. He looked out and saw Henry Ford running along behind the train, getting his morning exercise.

Questions 36~40 are based on the following passage.

Nearly all energy comes from the sun, either in a roundabout way or straight from it, in the form of heat and light rays. The light from the moon, too, comes from the sun. the moon can be said to be like a large mirror which throws back he sun’s light to the earth.

Electrical energy comes from the sun in a roundabout way. It can come from the power of water falling down mountainside. The water fell there as rain, and we know that rain is made by the sun’s heat evaporating(使蒸发) the water on the earth’s surface. The water vapor rises, condenses(凝结) on cooling, and falls as rain.

The light and heat energy from coal also comes from the sun in a roundabout way. Coal was made by the rockets pressing on tress and plants which died millions of

years ago. Those trees and plants grew with the aid of sunlight, from which they made carbohydrates(碳水化合物), in this way hanging the sun’s energy into chemical energy. When we burn coal, some of this energy is set free.

Energy which we use to drive car engines comes from petrol, which also was made with the aid of the sun in a roundabout way. Plants and animals which ate the plants, died millions of year ago, and the parts of them that were left were pressed under the rocks in the earth. These parts left from dead animals made petroleum, from which petrol and oil are now obtained.

Thus, we can say that the sun is the place where nearly all energy comes from, and that without the sun’s heat and light, there could be no life on earth.
