　　Section B Passage One

　　It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger

　　who had promised to pay an extra far.

　　While the youth stood on the landing place searching in his pockets for money

　　the boatman got close to him and with the help of the moonlight

　　took a careful look at the stranger---a young man of just 18 years

　　obviously country bred,and now,as it seemer

　　on his first visit to town.

　　He was wearing a rough gray coat

　　which was in good shap

　　The clothes under his coat were well made of leathee

　　and fitted tightly to a pair of fat legs

　　his blue cotton stockings must have been the work of his mother or sister

　　and on his head was a 3-cornered hat.

　　In his left hand was a walking stick

　　which hung on his strong shoulder

　　with 2 leather bags on both ends of the stick.

　　The youth,whose name was Robin, paid the boatman

　　and then walked forward into the town with light steps

　　as if he had not already traveled more than 30 miles that day.

　　As he walked alone he looked about his surroundings

　　as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid

　　in stead of the little town.

　　11. Why was the boarman willing to taken Robin across the river?

　　12. What time of the year did the story most probably take place?

　　13. At what time of the day did Robin cross the river?

　　14. What do we know from the context about Robin?

　　Passage Two

　　In the year 2000,the world is going to have a population of about 8 billion.

　　Most scientists agree that the most severe problem is food suppy.

　　Who is going to feed all those people?

　　Where is the food going to come from?

　　Are you going to have enough food?

　　Are we going to produce more artificial food?

　　One way of improving the situation is for people to eat less meat. Why?

　　Because it takes four kilo of grain protein to produce half a kilo of meat protein.

　　Clearly,there is not going to be sufficient meat protein for 8 billion people.

　　Therefore,it will also be necessary to change eating habits

　　because meat is the main part of many people's food today.

　　A possible solution to this latter problem is the soybea

　　The soybean plant produces beans which have a very high fat and protein content.

　　Scientists can now make these look and taste like real mea

　　They can also make many other artificial products such as soybean milk,

　　for example,which has a taste of milk and can be used in cooking

　　in very much the same ways as cow's milk.

　　In fact,one woman in the United States fed her family only on soybeans for a year.

　　She gave them soybean beef,soybean chicke,

　　soybean milk,and sometimes just soybean.

　　Possibly,we are all going to eat soybeans in the future

　　and finally give up meat completely from our tables.

　　15. What is the main subject of the passage?

　　16.Why will meat completely disappear in the future according to the passage?

　　17. What do we know about soybean meat?

　　Passage Three

　　If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good thing.

　　This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors

　　who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercises

　　---and as a result we are growing old unnecessarily soon.

　　Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out

　　why quite healthy farmers

　　in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think

　　and reason at a rather early age

　　and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.

　　With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University

　　he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different jobs.

　　Computer technology helped the researchers to get most measurements of the volume

　　of the front and side parts of brain

　　which have something to do with intellect and feeling

　　and decide the human characte

　　As we all know, the back part of the brain

　　which controls tasks like eating and breathing

　　does not contract with age.

　　Contraction of the front and side parts

　　--as cells die off--was seen in some people in their thirties

　　but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year olds.

　　Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way

　　to prevent the contraction--using the head
