    D The disaster at the Chernoby1 power station happened quickly and without warning. It was in the early hours on April 26, 1986 when the cooling system of the reactor failed. Minutes later, a violent explosion blew the top off the reactor and blasted a huge cloud of radioactive gas high into atmosphere. Two people were killed immediately . Hundreds received powerful radiation overdoses. And more than 25,000 had to be taken away from their homes. Days later, the radioactive cloud had spread as far as Scotland. Its radiation was weak, but all over Europe radioactive rain was falling. In some areas people were advised not to eat fresh vegetables, or drink fresh milk, and the sale of meat was forbidden. The accident at Chernoby1 was the world’s worst nuclear accident. In Britain, it convinced many people that all nuclear power stations should be shut down for good. But the Central Electricity Generating Board didn’t agree. They claimed that : l similar disasters could not happen in Britain because of safer designs. l Fewer deaths are caused using nuclear fuel than by mining for coal or drilling for oil and gas. l Nucleaar accidents are unusually compared with other types of accidents---- such as air crashes, fires or dam break-down. l More nuclear power staations are necessary because the world’s supplies of oil , coal and natural gas are running out. In 1957 in Cumbria a nuclear reactor overheated and caught fire. No one was killed but fourteen workers received radiation overdoses. Small amounts of gas and dust were let out over the local countryside. An official report said the accident was nearly a full-scale disaster. The Nuclear Authority wanted the report published but the Prime minister at the time refused. He thought that it would make people less confident in Britain’s nuclear industry. Thirty years later, the cabinet records of 1957 were published. Only then did the public discover what had really happened in Cumbria. 96. One result of the Chernoby1 nuclear disaster was that .

According to the passage, nuclear accidents . A. are mostly likely to cause death B. are always kept secret from the public C. can only happen in underdeveloped countries.

A. still believed it could not happen in their country B. were not convinced that nuclear power stations could be safe C. accepted that there would be fewer deaths than in drilling for oil. D.

          What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "No". It is not a tool a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further: he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question into a large set of ideas about how the world works.

          The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any change the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the change in the conditions.

           This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einstein's ideas are shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.

     "...knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. " The author says this to show       .

          A. the importance of information

          B. the difference between carpenters and ordinary people

          C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people

          D. the importance of thinking

    A sound scientific theory should be one that       .

        A. works under one set of conditions at any time

        B. leaves no room for improvement

        C. does not allow any change even under different conditions

       D. can be used for many purposes

    Which of the following statements is NOT tree?

       A. What works under one set of conditions at one time might work under the same conditions at other times.

       B. Tools which a scientist uses for measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.

       C. A scientist should know more about other branches of knowledge to arrive in his achievement.

       D. Knowing how to investigate, how to discover information is important to scientists.

    What is the main idea of the passage?

       A. Scientists are different from the ordinary people.

       B. The theory of relativity.

       C. Exactness is the secret of science.

       D. Exactness and way of using tools is the key to the making of a scientist.

    Jeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October of 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.

    Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her. 

    So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86. 

    A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at that time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying:

    Sorry, I’m still alive!

    How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?

    A. She is miserable and unhappy.

    B. She is cheerful and humorous.

    C. She would like to live much longer.

    D. She feels she is going to die very soon.

    Jeanne Calment has a long life because of _______.

    A. smoking only a little every day

    B. her giving up smoking and drinking

    C. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every day

    D. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercises

    According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

      A. The Japanese man died earlier than Jeanne Calment by one day.

      B. Jeanne Calment is tired of living so long a life.

      C. Jeanne Calment’s husband, children and grandchildren have all died.

      D. One of Jeanne Calment’s legs was once broken.

    Which could best replace the underlined word “move” in the fourth paragraph?

    A. deal                  B. trick                 C. march              D. sport

    Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the local lawyer every year on her birthday?

    A. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.

    B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.

    C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.

    D. Because the house she rented to the lawyer isn’t worth the money he has already paid.
