Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
At the moment, the note of the highest value which is generally in use is the 20-pound note. Now, the bank of England plans to introduce a new, 50-pound note. And the Bank is trying to decide which famous English man or woman to put on the back of the new note.
Quite a problem. The Bank usually chooses safe, historical personalities. We already have Sir Isaac Newton, the scientist, the first Duke of Wellington, the famous soldier who led the British army at Waterloo, Florence Nightingale, founder of English Nursing and — of course – Shakespeare. So far, the list of possible choices for the 50-pound note is quite predictable. There’s Sir Francis Drake, to represent the achievements of English explorers in the sixteenth century. Then we have Lord Nelson, another sailor and the man who won the battle of Trafalgar in 1805 for England. The Bank will not forget music this time either. If they choose a woman, the feminist movement has two representatives: Boadicea, who fought against the Romans, or Pankhurst, who fought to get the vote for women early in this century.

A) not high enough now

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
