Part 3: Read the following passage and answer the questions from 101 to 110. (10 pts)
Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) a government train carrying oxen
traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in a snowstorm and had to be abandoned. The
driver returned the next spring to see what had become of his cargo. Instead of the skeletons he had expected to find, he
saw his oxen, living, fat, and healthy. How had they survived?
The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to cross the “Great
American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the eastern parts of the United States, the preferred
grass for forage was a cultivated plant. It grew well with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become
nourishing hay for winter feed. But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by
drought. To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless. Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no
rain and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did
just that. They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses. Variously
known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were actually
preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short,
hard stems. And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they grew on the ground. When they dried
in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the winter. Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves
thrived on this hay. And the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural
seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring. The dry summer
air cured them much as storing in a barn cured the cultivated grasses.

Question 8: Read the passage carefully then choose the best answer (A, B, C or D). (5 pts)
During the last 400 years, most scientists have relied on mathematics for the development of their inventions or
discoveries. However, one great British scientist, Michael Faraday, did not make use of mathematics. Faraday, the son of a
poor blacksmith, was born in London in 1791 and had no education beyond reading and writing.
In 1812, Faraday was hired as a bottle washer by the great chemist Humphrey Davy. Later, Faraday became a
greater scientist than Davy, making the last years of Davy’s life embittered with jealousy.
Faraday made the first electric motor in 1821, a device that used electricity to produce movement. Then Faraday
became interested in the relationship between electricity and magnetism. In 1831, he discovered that when a magnet is
moved near a wire, electricity flows in the wire. With this discovery, he produced a machine for making electricity called
dynamo. Faraday then went on to show how electricity affects chemical substances. Because Faraday believed that
money should be given to the poor, when he grew old, he was very poor. However, Queen Victoria rewarded him for his
discoveries by giving him a stipend and a house. He died in 1867.
1. Which of the following statements is not true about Faraday?
A. He didn’t make use of mathematics to develop his inventions B. he just knew how to read and write.
