Passage 1

Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.

Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.

The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large \"hot air balloon\". They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The

passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about eight kilometers. 6. Leonardo Da Vinci made designs for flying machines. A. T B. F

7. Eight hundred years ago an Englishman made a kind of flying machine. A. T B. F

8. In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly lost his life. A. T B. F

9. The very first air passengers in the balloon were two Frenchmen. A. T B. F

10. The two Frenchmen rose above Paris in November 1783. A. T B. F

Passage 2

It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become “in”. Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can’t wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.

Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they’re a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960’s, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.

Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people’s lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems. (226 words)

11. What is soap opera? _________

A. Plays based on science fiction stories. B. Plays based on non-fiction stories. C. The daytime serial dramas on TV. D. Popular documentary films on TV. 12. What can be the best title of the passage?

A. College student viewers. B. Favorite TV serials. C. Soap opera fans. D. College-age viewers.

13. Which is NOT the reasons why the soap opera has suddenly become “in” among American

young people?

A. Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.

B. Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people. C. Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.

D. Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles. 14. What can we learn from the passage? _________

A. College students like soap operas more than any other social groups. B. Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today.

C. Young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now. D. The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain. 15. What message does the author want to convey to us? _________

A. The people’s favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time. B. The people’s favorites to drama works change along with the times. C. The people’s favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera. D. The people’s favorites have changed the drama works.
