Around the year 1000 AD some people from north-west India began to travel westwards – nobody knows why. After leaving their homes, they did not settle down again, but spent their lives moving from one place to another. Their descendants are called the Romany people, or Gypsies. There are Gypsies all over the world, and many of them are still travelling, with no fixed homes. There are about eight million of them, including three million in eastern Europe. Gypsies sometimes have a hard time in the countries where they travel. Because they are different, people may be afraid of them, look down on them, or think that they are criminals. The Nazis persecuted the Gypsies, like the jews, and nobody knows how many of them died in Hitler’s death camps.

Three Scotsmen founded the “Encyclopedia Britannica”. Colin Macfarquhar, a hardheaded printer with a flair for learning, concentrated on the fund-raising and printing. William Smellie, a brilliant 28-year-old scholar, did most of the writing and arranging. Finally, Andrew Bell, an engraver of dog collars, served as illustrator. Between 1768 and 1771, the trio printed their encyclopedia a pamphlet at a time. Articles emphasised art, science and utility. Curing of diseases in horses had a 39-page coverage, while the reference for “women” simply read, “the female of man”. The first edition, for the sake of popularity, even used careful calculations to estimate the number of species on Noah’s ark: 177 in total.

Every newborn baby is dealt a genetic hand of cards which helps to determine how long he or she will be allowed to play the game of life. There are good cards which give those who have them a long and healthy existence, and there are bad cards which give people high blood pressure or heart disease. Occasionally cards are dealt out which doom their holders to an early and debilitating death. In the past, people never knew exactly which cards – in otherwords, which genes – they had been dealt. They could guess at the future only by looking at the kind of health problems experienced by their parents or grandparents.

In the 16th century, as the Spaniards began exploring and colonising the New World, they frequently found the people using hallucinogenic plants in religious ceremonies conducted by local shamans. Obsessed with the need to destroy what they saw as barbaric local beliefs, the missionaries and soldiers used torture and violance to discourage the use of these plants. Under such pressure, the hallucinogens seemed to disappear to the point where future botanists even doubted their existence. In the 1930s, however, a scientist discovered that rituals using psychoactive mushrooms had survived underground for nearly four centuries, and in some villages, had even been cleverly integrated into Christian theology.
64. It’s clear from the passage that the 16th-century Spaniards in the New World _____ .
a. made a great effort to get along with their new neighbours, the local Indians
b. befriended the local shamans, or religious leaders, whom they met in the Americas

One positive effect of chocolate undoubtedly lies in its sugar content, which is said to sharpen concentration. Glucose, a type of sugar, is the main source of energy for the brain. According to one experiment, a car-driving simulation, glucose was shown to improve the concentration levels of drivers. A liquid containing glucose was given to one group, while one without it was given to another. After they had drunk it, they were made to drive. Although no difference was observed when they drove in low gear, the group that drank the glucose were better drivers at high speed. This taken into account, it seems that chocolate eaten or drunk during a work or study break might be helpful in restoring concentration.
67. We understand from the passage that a diet deficient in glucose _____ .
a. won’t provide the person with the energy needed to carry out even the simplest tasks
b. requires the person to have a sedentary office work
c. may cause the person not to succeed in anything at all in life
d. will help people control their weight but leave them weak
e. will leave the brain deprived of its principal energy source
68. One conclusion we can draw from the results of the experiment is that _____ .
a. it is dangerous to drive if you don’t eat sugary foods all the time
b. all good drivers eat sweet foods like chocolate before getting behind the wheel
c. every driver should keep some chocolate or candy in his or her car
d. taking in sugar before driving makes it easier to change gears in a car
e. driving at lower speeds requires less concentration than does driving fast
69. The author is suggesting that chocolate _____ .
a. is better when drunk than eaten during a break from studying
b. should be taken carefully as it is actually quite a powerful medicine
c. is the only thing that can possibly help you regain your concentration
d. is a good thing to consume at work if your concentration is starting to fail
e. doesn’t do much for your concentration, but it certainly tastes good
Building dams is commonly seen as an environmentally friendly way of generating electricity, but in fact, the building of dams is often destructive. It usually means clearing forests or other habitats in areas to be flooded. Water in reservoirs, especially in water-shortage dams, becomes silted with vegetation and matter washed off land upstream. As that rots, it gives out carbon dioxide and methane, contribute to the greenhouse effect. How much gas is emitted in this way is not precisely known, but some estimates say reservoirs could account for more than a quarter of the “global warming potential” of gases in the atmosphere. It was assumed that hydro power, by substituting for burning fossil fuels, would reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, but this assumption now seems false. In hot, tropical countries, where reservoirs appear to produce most gases, that claim now needs reassessing.
70. The author emphasises that, contrary to the common belief, _____ .
a. dams have a number of negative effects on the environment
b. there are no environmentally friendly ways of producing power
c. no one knows whether reservoirs give out methane and carbon dioxide
d. the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by reservoirs is insignificant
e. dams provide an environmentally friendly way of generating power
71. We understand from the passage that in generating electricity, _____ .
a. man is experimenting with alternative energy sources
b. using hydro power is far better than burning fossil fuels
c. there are no sources of energy that won’t damage the environment
d. both hydro power and fossil fuels are damaging for the environment
e. hydro power is particularly effective in hot, tropical countries
72. The author points out that the vegetation that washes into reservoirs from upstream _____ .
a. provides food for the water-dwelling creatures
b. emits a small amount of greenhouse gases
c. can be used in a similar manner to fossil fuels
d. is exaggerated as far as their effects are concerned
e. decomposes, creating greenhouse gases
Herman Melville published Moby Dick, for which he is best known, in 1851. Background material for this book came from Melville’s own experiences. At the age of 22, Melville sailed from New York on the whaling ship Acushnet. Upon reaching the South Seas, he abandoned the ship in the Marquesas Islands, where he was captured by the natives.
