inches of precipitation. The total annual precipitation would be recorded
as forty-two inches.
The amount of precipitation is a combined result of several factors,
including location, altitude, proximity to the sea, and the direction of
prevailing winds. Most of the precipitation in the United States is
brought originally by prevailing winds from the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf
of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Great Lakes. Because these
prevailing winds generally come from the West, the Pacific Coast
received more annual precipitation than the Atlantic Coast. Along the
Pacific Coast itself, however, altitude causes some diversity in rainfall.

a) Precipitation
b) Snowfall
c) New York State
d) A general formula 67. Which of the following is another word that is often used in place of
precipitation?

72. Questions 72-78
Today's cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their
predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free
than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines
have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power,
such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen,
and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option
presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful,
compact battery or other dependable source of current is available,
transportation experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles
entering everyday life: shorter - range commuter electric cars, three -
wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes, and trolleys.
As automakers works to develop practical vehicles, urban planners and
utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and
make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to
be as common as today's gas stations. Public parking spots on the street
or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow
drivers to charge their batteries while they shop, dine, or attend a
concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient
parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.

a) automated freeways
b) pollution restrictions in the future
c) the neighborhood of the future
d) electric shuttle buses 75. In the second paragraph the author implies that

a) a dependable source of electric energy will eventually be developed

b) everyday life will stay much the same in the future
c) a single electric vehicle will eventually replace several modes of
transportation
d) electric vehicles are not practical for the future 76. According to the passage, public parking lots of the future will bea) more convenient than they are today
b) equipped with charging devices
c) much larger than they are today
d) as common as today's gas stations 77. This passage would most likely be found in aa) medical journal
b) history book

insulting and childish.
She'd been invited so many times to go and meet all Frank's family.
Every year for the last ten years since he started making money out of
his farm, Frank had invited her to visit them in Australia, all expenses
paid, for as long as she chose to stay. Always she had replied 'We 'll see'
But it never went further.
Sometime Mrs Pendlebury wondered if the people in the coloured
photographs they kept sending existed at all. Was that Frank, now quite
a lof heavier than that confident-looking boy of nineteen who had gone
out to Australia so long ago? And his wife, Veronica, who had long red
hair and a permanent smile -
who was she ? Mrs Pendlebury had studied
her photographs extremely closely and still she could get no idea. Her
letters were warm and friendly enough but they were only words on
paper. You couldn't tell from letters. At least, Mrs Pendlebury hope you
couldn't. Heaven forbid that any one should judge her by her painful
letters. Only her grandchildren's little messages had any real value.
Surprisingly, the girl Carol, who was fourteen, did not write well and
never had much to say, but the boy Paul who was ten , was a gook writer.
She enjoyed his little letters and it made her sad to think he would never
know from her few words how pleased she was. What a waste ! Three
lovely grandchildren growing up not even knowing their grandmother.
frank already talked of Carol coming over on her own soon and it really
worried her. What would she do with a strange girl? It was the baby she
most wanted, Alexander, aged einghteen months, would be no problem.

79. why was Mrs Pendlebury finding ot difficult to write to her son,
Frank?

a) She did not want to tell hem about her troubles

82. What did Mrs Pendlebury feel about her own letters to Frank and his
family?

a) They were not as interesting as her grandchildren's to her.
b) They would have been better with some photographs.
c) They could not express what she really felt.
d) They sounded full of complaints. 83. Paul's letters to Mrs Pendlebury

a) disappointed her because they were so short.

b) were not as interesting as his mother's.
c) made her more dissatisfied with her own.
d) were just a waste of time. 84. What did Mrs Pendlebury feel about the possibility of Carol visting
her?

a) She was uncertain how to entertain her.
b) She was concerned about Carol travelling alone.
c) She was pleased that Carol wanted to come.
d) She wanted the whole family to come.

85. Questions 85-90

to be very low in relationto the present cost of supplying fresh air to
miner'. said Professor Thring. 'There need be no oxygen present, and
this would mean there would be no risk of explosions.'
The Professor does his economic sums as follows. B
ritain needs each year
as much energy as 350 million tons of coal would provide; and North Sea
oil will only provide the same amount of energy as 150million tons of coal
for fifty years, while the cost of nuclear power is ten times greater than
the cost of getting oil.
'We can get ten times as much coal as North Sea oil. We could have 250
million tons a year - double the present amount - for 200 years at least,
and solve the energy crisis. The mechanical coal miner could be
developed and active within six or seven years.'
Could be, certainly ! But Professor Thring knows very well how much
luck he will need to succeed, which is why he gave the public display of
his latest invention yesterday, to try to get opinion-makers on his side.

a) has already been seen by the Coal Board.
b) is his first invention.
c) looks like a TV camera.
d) is not yet in production.


89. Why does Professor Thring think it is important for Britain to
produce more coal?

a) North Sea oil costs far more than coal to produce.
b) Coal could be sold for ten times the present price.
c) Britain has large reserves of coal.
d) Britain cannot afford nuclear power. 90. Professor Thring expects that the Coal Board.a) will reject his idea.
b) will listen to the Press.
c) will be unable to develop his invention.
d) will reduce coal output. 91. Question 91-95
It was a Devonshire farmer called Ben Jesty, who lived more than two
hundred years ago, who began the development of vaccination as a
method of protecting people against many diseases. In 1774 there was a
severe outbreak of the disease smallpox in his local village. He already

perhaps at 7 a.m. She has to check in 1,5 hours before the flight - maybe
at half past five - that might mean leaving home at 4 a.m. Before the
flight, hostesses have to prepare the cabin and toilets and make sure that
the food and drink are aboard. Dan- Air don't do long-distance flights,
just short of medium distance ones. and so there are no overnight
stopovers unless weather conditions prevent taken-off or landing, or the
plane develops technical problems. There's a 45-minute turn around
interval, when the hostesses have to prepare the plane for the return
flight. Depending on where you're flying, this can make it a 12- hour
day; with delays it can even be 16 hours'.
'During the flight you've got no time to relax-
the safety instructions have
to be demonstrated and the food and drinks served. You're always busy.
So one day you might have an early morning flight; the next an afernoon
flight; the day after you might be on relief duty and have to be ready to
work if someone else becomes ill or there is an emergency. This means
that you have to stay near a phone all the time and be no more than an
hour and a half from the airport'.
