PART FOUR　 WRITING

SECTIONA

Direction: Reading the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks with no more than three words that best fits the passage.

Two influential thinkers of the twentieth century have died.　John Kenneth Galbraith, the economist, died on April twenty-ninth at the age of 97.　Jane Jacobs, a defender of cities, died April twenty-fifth at the age of 89.

Jane Jacobs believed cities should be densely populated and full of different people and activity.　She believed in the value of natural growth.　She opposed the kind of city planning that involves big development and renewal projects that tear down old communities.

She is best known for her book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities," published in nineteen sixty-one.　Another book was "The Nature of Economies."　Yet she never finished college.

Jane Jacobs was an activist in New York City.　Her work defeated a road plan to build a big highway through the Greenwich Village area.

She was also against the war in Vietnam.　She had sons almost old enough to be called for duty.　In nineteen sixty-eight the family moved to Canada.　But she remained a community activist.　Soon she was fighting a road plan in Toronto.

Jane Jacobs was born in the United States but lived and died in Canada.　John Kenneth Galbraith was born in Canada but lived and died in the United States.

Among his best-known books is "The Affluent Society," from nineteen fifty-eight.　He wrote that American society had too many goods but not enough social services that show people care about each other.　He warned about widening divisions between the very rich and the very poor.

John Kenneth Galbraith believed in the power of government to improve lives.　He believed in a system of progressive taxes, and in public support for the arts and government involvement in education.　He also supported the idea of public ownership of housing and medical services.

Experts say John Kenneth Galbraith and Jane Jacobs led many to question not only how and where they want to live and work.　It also led them to wonder what kind of society they wanted to leave for their children.

SECTION B

Direction: Read the following passage and answer the questions according to the imfomation you get in the passage and the required words limit.

Different creatures have developed some pretty creative ways to get their rest and stay safe. The lizard(蜥蝎)likes to sleep at the far end of small branches hanging out over a pond or lake in the rain forest. If a snake tries to slither up the branch to eat it ,it will shake the branch and knock the lizard off ,and the lizard will fall safely into the water. Chameleons can change color to match their surroundings in order to hide even while sleeping.

　　　 Corillas(大猩猩)like to sleep high in the trees. They build a new bed every night, sometimes taking up to half an hour to pile branches ,twigs ,and leaves into a comfortable bed .Birds also find it safe to sleep in the trees, but unless they have eggs or young chicks ,they don’t use a nest .They just lock their feet around a branch and hang on .A special tendon(腱)in their legs in automatically tight when they are at rest ,so they won’t let go and fall.

　　　 Dolphins live underwater ,but must come to the surface to breather .Scientists now believe that dolphins may sleep with only half their brain, while the other half stays awake to keep them safe and breathing. Seals also do this ,lying on their sides on the surface of the water with one flipper underwater paddling to keep their noses above the surface. Some ducks may also have this ability, and actually sleep with one eye closed and one eye open.

TOKYO-As Japanese shops run out of face masks amid the H1N1 flu outbreak, local authorities and bloggers are offering do-it-yourself tips on making masks from kitchen paper, coffee filters and even sanitary pads.

The western city of Tatsuno now gives handy hints on its official website on fashioning a basic anti-flu mask from gauze, tissue and a pair of rubber bands. “We had many enquiries from people on what o do after they found no marsks in the stores,” said Hiroyuki Kobayashi, a disaster management official with the city’s fire brigade.

The instructions, first posted last week, have since been used by the websites of other cities, Kobayashi said by telephone.

A private hospital in the central district of Niigata has meanwhile proposed a mask made from kitchen paper, while one blogger showed how to make a mask from textile and fine wire and one made with coffee filters.

The latest edition of Aera Weekly, published by the Asahi Shimbun(《朝日新闻》), carried an article in which a reporter tried on various types of homemade masks. The coffee-filter mask “looks like Donald Duck” but brought an unexpected “sense of security”, the article said.

Japan has confirmed 342 cases of H1N1 virus, according to the Health Ministry. There have been no death reports in Japan and the government has said the spread of infections appears to be easing. Nonetheless, there has been a shortage of masks at drugstores in the hygiene-conscious nation where face masks have been part of everyday street-wear for decades.
