Read the passage below and answer the questions 94-97

Although he created the game of basketball at the YMCA in Springfield,

Massachusetts, Dr. James A. Naismith was a Canadian. Working as a physical

education instructor at the International YMCA, now Springfield College, Dr.

Naismith noticed a lack of interest in exercise among students during the wintertime.

The New England winters were fierce, and the students balked at participating in

outdoor activities. Naismith determined that a fast-moving game that could be

played indoors would fill a void after the baseball and football seasons had ended.

First he attempted to adapt outdoor games such as soccer and rugby to indoor play,

but he soon found them unsuitable for confined areas. Finally, he determined that he

would have to invent a game. In December of 1891, Dr. Naismith hung two old

peach baskets at either end of the gymnasium at the school, and, using a soccer ball

and nine players on each side, organized the first basketball game. The early rules

allowed three points for each basket and made running with the ball a violation.

Every time a goal was made, someone had to climb a ladder to retrieve the ball.

Nevertheless, the game became popular. In less than a year, basketball was being

played in both the United States and Canada. Five years later, a championship

tournament was staged in New York City, which was won by the Brooklyn Central

YMCA.

discuss?

A) The Olympic Games in St. Louis in

1904.

C) The YMCA athletic program.

D) Dr. James Naismith.

basketball?

A) He did not like soccer or rugby.

B) He was tired of baseball and football.

C) He wanted his students to exercise

during the winter.

D) He could not convince his students to

play indoors.

following as typical of the early game

of basketball EXCEPT

A) three points were scored for every

basket.

B) running with the ball was not a foul.

C) nine players were on a team.

D) the ball had to be retrieved from the

basket after each core.

Although I had stayed in England for over a year, it was difficult for me to

understand the British mentality. Traveling to the office everyday by train, I watched

Read the passage below and answer the questions 102-105

The human brain contains, I am told, 10 thousand million cells and each of these

may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to daunt us and

cause to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but

now that we have grown accustomed to advancing at such a pace we can be less

sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps we will be able to assemble a

machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us

a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software or by altering the

architecture but that too will happen. I think it certain that in decades, not centuries,

machines of silicon will arise first to rival and then surpass their human progenitors.

102. Now the complexity of human

brain …

A) makes it impossible for us to create

intelligent machines.,

B) causes us to dismiss the possibility of

making intelligent

computers.

C) leads to our uncertainty about the

ability of the machines.

D) does not discourage us to make

machines with human like

ability

103. It is pointed out in the passage that

machines with human-like ability …

A) are likely to be made in the near

future

B) have almost no possibility of being

made

C) are very difficult to assemble

D) need complex software

104. It is suggested that in the long run

human beings …

A) can rival intelligent machines and

defeat them

B) will be able to alter the appearance of

the computers

C) will be beaten by the machines they

create

D) should use silicon to make efficient

machines

105. The word “surpass” used in the

passage is closest in meaning to …

A) to progress B) to exceed

C) to diminish D) to succeed
