From France comes the story of an attack on an old man near Calais carried out by a swarm of bees. The scenario might have pleased Hitchcock. The victim was sunning himself in his garden at the time. The firemen were called but were driven back into their van by the ferocity of the insects. After 45 minutes someone arrived with protective clothing and insecticide. By then the man sitting in the deck chair was dead, covered in hundreds of stings, most of them on his eyelids.The French liked the story from London about grafting a pig’s kidneys onto a human patient. They went for the animal rights angle. They like the idea of putting a security ring round the hospital to repel people who are intent on rescuing the pig from dismemberment. From London, too, came the story of the brown paper parcel in London’s main parcel sorting office, a parcel which moved. Packages do not normally move very quickly through the post office at the best of times, but this one was definitely frisky. A lady customs officer was summoned to Xray the package. The Xray revealed a poisonous reptile called a gila monster wrapped in a sock. The subsequent police trail led to a salesman in Hampshire whose back bedroom was filled with rattlesnakes, lethal lizards, snapping turtles and a python, most of which he had sent himself through the post.An animal story which made the British papers a couple of years ago was the report that staff at Stockholm’s Skansen Park zoo had raffled the remains of a favourite bear cub, and that the winners had taken home a joint for the pot. How could they? How can staff give a cub a name, look after her for a year or two, and then end up sneaking her on to the dinner table,” asked Malin Bergman, 15, winner of a national competition to pick a name for the cub, called Molly. A Swedish newspaper columnist said she had been swamped with calls from readers in tears. She said: ”It sounds bizarre to eat up an animal that has been given a name and a national identity. Dog meat is popular in China and Korea, but people there don’t eat Oscar the family chow.” The superintendent of the zoo was quoted as saying that while people did not like to see “teddy bears” eaten, it’s worse to destroy meat in a world that hungers.”The whole business of eating dog could be the answer to a crisis in Britain’s cities. The country is suffering from half a million stray dogs. 1,000 are destroyed every day. In one small town alone, £100,000 is spent each year catching stray dogs. Terry Singh, the local dogcatcher, admits grimly: ”We are chasing our tails. In a town of half a million people, we have 50,000 stray dogs.” In Britain, seven million dogs bite a quarter of a million people a year, at a cost of six million for casualty treatment. They attack 10,000 farm animals, cause 50,000 road accidents, and require three million to be spent on kenneling and destruction.Mr Singh says: ”In my first year we had 775 complaints. That was 10 years ago. Our recent figures show we are dealing with six thousand dogs a year. Everywhere you look in the town, on any patch of grass or street comer, you will see at least one stray dog. We even get packs of dogs loose on housing estates. Dog attacks have increased. The craze of the moment is for owning Rottweilers and Dobermans.” The city has two main dog kennels run by the RSPCA. At one, two and a half thousand dogs are destroyed every year, put down with an injection of Pentobarbitone.Considering what has been going on down at the farm, it may be safer to eat British dog rather than British beef. It appears that British farmers have been feeding their cattle on processed artificial food which includes sheep carcasses infected with a brain disease called scrapie. This practice was banned in 1988, but it appears that the disease has already been transmitted to British cattle. The big question has been, if the disease can be transmitted from sheep to cattle, surely it follows that it can be transmitted from cattle to people.The infection appears to be present in the immune system and in the brain and nervous system. Evidence shows that there is a link between brain disease and the eating of sheep’s heads in the Middle East. In one instance, there is a high incidence of CreutzfeldtJakob disease, a degenerative disease of the brain, among Libyan Jews, who eat sheep’s eyes. According to one researcher: “Steak has very little nervous tissue in it, and it is veiy unlikely to pass on disease. But nothing would induce me to eat other parts of the animal.” So its goodbye to cervelle au beurre noisette and amourettes a la Tosca. Life gets duller all the time.41. Which title best sums up the Stories in the passage?A. Life on the FarmB. How to be a JournalistC. Stranger than FictionD. Selling Newspapers42. Which adjective best describes this type of newspaper story?A. untrueB. expectedC. standardD. important43. The incident of the man killed by bees might have…………...A.made a good horror movieB.been caused by dilutionC. happened because the insects were poisonedD. occurred because of a new type of bee44. The word “grafting” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to…………..A. growing B. transplanting C. injectingD. putting45.

According to Mr Singh, trying to catch stray dogs is……………...A. an expensive operationB. a difficult jobC. important to the townD. an endless task47.

It seems that the disease can be transmitted to humans because……………A.it has travelled from sheep to cattle.B.people who eat sheep’s eyes get it.C. people eating sheep get it.D. it is in the brain.Phần 9.

have existed without it Take computers as example For many of us, they still (35) .a threat to our freedom and give us a frightening (36) .of a future in which all decisions will be taken by machines This may be because they seem (37) ., and difficult to understand Ask most people what you can use a home computer for, and you usually get vague answers about how ‘they give you information’ In fact, even those of us who are (38) .with computers and use them in our daily work, have very little idea of how they work But it does not take long to learn how to operate a business programme, even if things occasionally go wrong for no apparent reason Presumably, much the same happened when telephone and television became widespread What seems to alarm most people is the (39) of technological change, rather than change itself And the objections that are made to new technology may (40) have a point to them, since change is not always an improvement As we discover during power cuts, there is

entered the American language, but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet o ordinary citizens in the United States The ice trade grew with the growth o cities Ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by some forward - looking city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and butter After the Civil War (1861 - 1865), as ice was used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use Even before 1880, half the ice sold in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families for their own use This had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, a precursor of the modem refrigerator, had beer invented Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose In the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of the physics of heat, which was essential to a science of refrigeration, was undeveloped The commonsense notion that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right track He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of Georgetown was the market center When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market, he found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the rubs of his competitors to pay a premium price for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound bricks One advantage of his icebox, Moore explained, was that farmers would no longer have to travel to market ạt night in order to keep their produce cool 41 What does the passage mainly discuss? A The influence of ice on the diet B The development of refrigeration C The transportation of goods to market D Sources of ice in the nineteenth century 42 According to the passage, when did the word “icebox” become part of the language of the United States? A In 1803 B Sometime before 1850 C During the Civil War D Near the end of the 191h century 43 The phrase “forward-looking” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to………… A progressive B popular C thrifty D well-established 44 The author mentions “fish” in the first paragraph because………… A many fish dealers also sold ice B fish was shipped in refrigerated freight cars C fish dealers were among the early commercial users of ice D fish was not part of the ordinary person's diet before the invention of the icebox 45 The word “it” in the first paragraph refers to………… A fresh meat B the Civil War C ice D a refrigerator 46 According to the information in the second paragraph, an ideal icebox would ………… A completely prevent ice from melting B stop air from circulating C allow ice to melt slowly D use blankets to conserve ice 47 The author describes Thomas Moore as having been "on the right track” (in the third paragraph) to indicate that………… A the road to the market passed close to Moore’s farm B Moore was an honest merchant C Moore was a prosperous farmer D Moore's design was fairly successful 48 The "produce" mentioned in the last sentence could include………… A iceboxes B butter
