unfinished statement is given four suggested answers marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the one best answer and {#uf#J|

Passage One Ih5F\eM  
Some of the earliest diamonds known came from India. In the eighteenth century they were found in Brazil, and in 1866, huge /mFa*~dj2  
deposits were found near Kimberley in South Africa. Though evidence of extensive diamond deposits has recently, been found N+0`Jm  
in South Africa, the continent of Africa still produces nearly all the world's supply of these stones. 5SmgE2}  
The most valuable diamonds are large, individual crystals of pure crystal lint carbon. Less perfect forms, known as 'boars'and 'carbonado' arc clusters of tiny crystals. Until diamonds are cut and polished, they do not sparkle lice those you sec on a u7ER  
ring--they just look like small, blue-grey stones. hS:j$j e  
In a rather crude form the cutting and polishing of precious stones was an art known to the Ancient Egyptians, and in the >-<7 r?~  
Middle Ages it became 1Lidcspread iii north-west Europe. However, a revolutionary change in the methods of cutting and zu|=1C#5h  
polishing was made in 1476 when Ludwig Van Berquen of Bruges in Belgium invented the use of a swiftly revolving wheel :TN^}RML  
with its edge faced with fine diamond powder. The name 'boast' is given to this fine powder as well as the natural crystalline d"JI4)%  
material already mentioned. It is also gimp to badly flawed or broken diamond crystals, useless as jewels, that are broken into A;# GU`  
powder for grinding purposes, the so-called `industrial' diamonds. 4 | DGQ  
Diamond itself is the only material hard enough to cut and polish diamonds--though recently, high-intensity light beams #u6ZCv7u  
called lasers have been developed which can bore holes in them. It may be necessary to split or cleave the large stones before '9#h^.  
they arc cut and polished. Every diamond has a natural line of cleavage, along which it may be split by a sharp blow with a a76`"(W  
cutting edge. 5Rec~&v  
A fully cut 'brilliant' diamond has 58 facets, or faces, regularly arranged. For cutting or faceting, the stones arc fixed into U `<?~Bz  
copper holders and held against a wheel, edged with a mixture of Oil and fine diamond dust, which is revolved at about 2,500 dGBVkb4]T  
revolutions a minute. Amsterdam and Antwerp, in Holland and Belgium respectively, have been the centre of the diamond 7e D<(  
cutting and polishing industry for over seven centuries. )rFcfS+/  
The jewel value of brilliant diamonds depends greatly on their colour, or `water' as it is called. The usual colours of ![#>{Q4i  
diamonds are white, yellow, brown, green or blue- Surrounding rocks and take on their color. thus black ,red and even bright vx8-~Oq{|;  
pink diamonds have occasionally been found. iH""dtO  
The trade in diamonds Is not only in the valuable gem stones but also in the industrial diamonds mentioned above. Zaire rq>Om MQ67  
produces 70% of such stones. They are fixed into the rock drills used in mining and civil engineering, also for edging band KQ(7%W  
saws for cutting stone. Diamond-faced tools are used for cutting and drilling glass and fine porcelain and for dentists' drills. SH${\BKup  
They are used as bearings in watches and other finely balanced instruments. Perhaps you own some diamonds without knowing m6=Jp<  
it--in your wristwatch! ^`XTs!.  
71. 'Carbonado' is the name given to >*aqYNft  
A) only the very best diamonds B) lumps of pure carbon A#P]|i  
C) Spanish diamonds D) diamonds made up of many small crystals 4(FEfde=  
72. The art of cutting and polishing precious stones remained crude until 96$qH{]Ap  
A) the fourteenth century B) the fifteenth century YKT=0   
C) the sixteenth century D) the seventeenth century 9:tn! <^=I  
73. During faceting, diamonds are held in copper holders 4q7hL  
A) to facilitate accurate cutting B) to make them shine more brilliantly iCrLZ" $M  
C) so that they can revolve more easily D) as a steel holder might damage the diamond ?pJUbZ#J  
74. The value order of `water' in diamond, _ & 0*=F%Fd

C) ranges from blue-white downwards D) has never been reliably established P,@ :?6  
75. Industrial diamonds are used ] oh.w  
A) for a wide range of purposes B) mainly for dentists' drills ?QXc,*=N  
C) for decoration in rings and watches D) principally in mass-produced jewellery t$W~X~//  
Passage Two ?Q X S?  
Just about everyone knows the meaning of `value" though you'd never know it from the excesses of the Eighties. Clever _(Qec?[^Ps  
campaigns often allowed marketers to charge more for their product and reap ever-higher profits. It worked like a dream until RC| t-(Z  
suddenly, facing difficult economic times, consumers work up. Now, to the extent that they're buying, many consumers are <!r0[bKz@  
choosing the car that delivers the most for the money--not necessarily the one they coveted as a status symbol a few years ago, 7u9!:}Tu  
they are shifting to the toothpaste that works from the ones with it slickest promotions. Companies that understand this new f4TNy^-  
consumer have come up wit something new: "value marketing". `Ko6;s#  
A word of caution is necessary. In marketing, watchwords quickly metamorphos into buzzwords--and value is no iEJY[P1  
exception. We're not taping about ads that merely boast of a product's value or even such legitimate sates tools as price cuts and f(o1J|U{  
discount: Used correctly, value marketing amounts to much more than just stashing prices distributing coupons. It means (t\ F>A  
giving the customer an improved product, with adds, features and enhancing the role of marketing itself:In value marketing, marketing becomes part of the system for delivering value t( the consumer. Instead of merely shaping 3:;2Av2(X.  
image, such a program might offer enhance guarantees or longer warranties, ads that educate rather than hype, membership club: 9. 7XRxR^  
that build loyalty, frequent-buyer plans, improved communications with customer. through 800 numbers, or package design that e viv,  
makes the product easier to use or more environmentally friendly. 9Xv>FVG!  
These and other value-marketing techniques can be expensive. They can tncar added production and marketing costs C/w!Y)nB=  
added to lower unit prices, Even so, the principle involved in value marketing value for money, an improved product, enhanced P{-f./(JD  
=Nice, and added features--are just %fiat U_S_ business needs to enhance its competitiveness in the global marketplace. That's .Y"H{|]Mnh  
why it will be all to the good if the commonsensical virtues of value marketing become part of the permanent strategy of U.S. ?u`TX_OsB  
business. 1~HR;cTv=  
76. Consumers have waken up because of J,bE[52  
A) the poor products they bought B) the high price they paid for what they bought =h4* ^NJ  
C) the difficult economic times D) a horrible dream !\0UEC  
77. Many consumers are choosing the commodities -|l^- Qf!  
A) that are precious B) that are warranted ) DzbJ}  
C) that can show their status D) that deliver the most for the money ]y:ez8RFPU  
78. In the 1980s, people would like to go after the products |G5Me  
A) that were most expensive B) that were up-to-date F .(zS(q  
C) that could show their status D) that were in fashion 0koC;(<n  
79. Communications with customers malj be improved 7>a-`"`O  
A) through annual customers congress B) through ton free 800 numbers $LLy#h?V]  
C)through membership clubs D) through frequent education [_&\wHX  
80. A value marketing program may not include i U^tv_1  
A)daily visits to customers B)longer warranties .."=  
C)membership clubs D)environmentally friendly packages 4&Q.6HkL  
Passage Three Pw^ lp'dO  
Great emotional and intellectual resources are demanded in quarrels; stamina helps, as does a capacity for obsession. But wz-#kH5?  
no one is born a good quarreller; the craft must be learned. s/,wyxKd  
There are two generally recognised apprenticeships. First, and universally preferred, is a long childhood spent in the :<    
company of fractious siblings. After several years of rainy afternoons, brothers and sisters develop a sure feel for the tactics of GgoPwl#{  
attrition and the niceties of strategy so necessary in first-rate quarrelling. J!$q"0G'WT  
The only child, or the child of peaceful or repressed households, is likely to grow up failing to understand that quarrels, 5$,dpLbL  
unlike arguments, arc not about an)1hing, least of all the pursuit of truth. The apparent subject of a quarrel is a mere pretext; the q F \a]e  
real business is the quarrel itself. #|\NG  
Essentially, adversaries in a quarrel are out to establish or rescue their dignity. I fence the elementary principle: anything Jon<?DQj  
may be said. The unschooled, probably no less quarrelsome by inclination than anyone else, may spend an hour with knocking - I$qe Xy  
heart, sifting the consequences of roiling this old acquaintance a lying fraud. Too late! With a cheerful wave the old f\W1u#;u)  
acquaintance has left the room. fa7I6 i  
Those who miss their first apprenticeship may care to enrol in the second, the bad marriage. This can be perilous for the w&eX) !  
neophyte; the mutual intimacy of spouses makes them at once more vulnerable and more dangerous in attack. Once sex is +mReWf:o  
involved, the stakes are higher all round. And there is an unspoken rule that those who love, or have loved, one another are ;+%(@C51GE  
granted a licence for unlimited beastliness such as is denied to mere sworn enemies. For all that, some of our most tenacious Tl.dr   
black belt quarrellers have come to it late in fife and mastered every throw, from the Crushing Silence to the Gloating Apology, TG\3T%gH/s  
in less than ten years of marriage. X~DI  d  
A quarrel may last years. Among brooding types Kith time on their hands, like writers, half a lifetime is not uncommon. 3d qj:4[f  
In its most refined form, a quarrel may consist of the participants not talking to each other. They will need to scheme 8Bvc# +B  
laboriously to appear in public together to register their silence. [NE:$@  
Brief, violent quarrels are also known as rows. In all cases the essential ingredient remains the same; the original cause oUMY?[Wp  
must be forgotten as soon as possible. From here on, dignity, pride, self-esteem, honour ate the crucial issues, which is why EkV LSur  
quarrelling, like jealousy, is an all -consuming business, virtually a profession. For the quarreller's very self-hood is on the fine. "r6DZi(^K  
To lose an argument is a brief disappointment, much like losing a game of tennis; but to be crushed in a quarrel ... rather bite offyour tongue and spread it at your opponent's feet. ?U~9d"2=  
81. Unschooled quarrellers are said to be at a disadvantage because n%o"n?e  
A) their insults fail to offend their opponent B) they reveal their nervousness to their opponent F;Q8^C0e*c  
C) they suffer from remorse for what they've said D) they are apprehensive about speaking their minds p`@7hf|hm  
82. According to the writer, quarrels between married couples may be_-__ y\]~S2}G  
- A) physically violent B) extremely IYitter J?d&+mt  
C) essentially trivial D) sincerely regretted (Sr D  
83.when quarrelling both children and married couples may, according to the writer ? Xb8B5  
A) be particularly brutal B) use politeness as a weapon fiuF!<#;6  
C) employ skillful manoeuvres D) exaggerate their feelings &F4khga`^:  
84. The difference between a quarrel and an argument is said to be that _^+z2m+ ~N  
A) the former involves individual egos B) the former concerns strong points of view V87?J w%2  
C) the latter has well-established miles D) the latter concerns trivial issues biTET|U`$  
85. In the passage as a whole, the writer treats quarrelling as if it were ^oNk}:>  
A) a military campaign B) a social skill %d<uOCf\Q  
C) a moral evil D) a natural gilt %UEV['=  
Passage Four dd+[FU  
`I just couldn't do it. I don't know what it is. It's not embarrassment. No that's not it. You see, you're putting your head 1Ner1EKGp  
in a noose; that's what it seems to me.' Derek am armed robber with a long record of bank jobs, was talking about hoisting N*~G ]  
(shop-lifting). `No I just couldn't do it. I mean just going in there.' He paused to try to fund a more exact way of fixing; his qDR`)hle  
antipathy. `I tell you what. It's too blatant for my liking.' `m N*"1p-  
It seemed a fanny way to put it. Pushing a couple of ties in your pocket at a shop was hardly the last word in extroversion, %y( oY  
and even a bit on the discreet side when compared to all that firing of shotguns and vaulting over counters which made up the ';g]!XsY)  
typical bank raid. 2hOr#I$/  
But my ideas of shop-lifting were still bound up with teenage memories of nicking packets of chewing gum from the E^uWlUb{  
local newsagents. A lot of guilt and not much loot_ After a few conversations with professional holsters, I realised that `blatant' +}IOTw" O`  
was just about right. 1 J3h_z6/  
Nobody took a couple of ties they took the whole rack. The fast member of the gang would walk in nice and purposefully. [i7Ug.Oi"  
Their job was to set up the goods: perhaps put an elastic bawd round the ends of a few dozen silk scarves; move the valuable  U#=Q`  
pieces of jewellery nearer the edge of the counter; slide the ties on the rack into a compact bunch. Then, wine somebody else xHs8']*\  
diverts the assistant or provides some fort of masking, the third member lifts the lot u`Ew^-">  
If the walk to the door is a little long, then there mm be someone else to take over for the last stretch. No one is in r^<W$-#  
possession for more than a few seconds, and there's always a couple of spare bodies to obstruct any one who seems to be m2!y;)F0  
getting too near the carrier. P'^#I[G'  
Store detectives who move forward with well-founded suspicions may still find themselves clutching empty air. Store m"MTw@}SJ;  
detectives watch for three main give-sways: am- sort of loitering which looks different from the usual hanging around and Dps0$f c  
dithering that characterises the real customer; any covert contact between individuals %N-ho %v shown no other sign of 01md@4NQ  
knowing each other, any over-friendliness towards sales staff which might be acting as a distraction. 'There's one other little l56D?E8  
angle', said one detective. 'l often pop round the back stairs; that's where you'll occasionally find one of them; trying to relax ~~h@(2/Q>x  
and get themselves in the right mood before starting the next job.' &yFt@g]  
86. The bank robber wouldn't consider shop-lifting because &"vh=Z-  
A) it was beneath his dignity B) the penalties were too high #!,tId  
C) it wasn't challenging enough D) the risks were too great <VB;J5Rv  
87. The writer's experience led rum to think that most shop-lifters 1b)^5U ;  
A) were I their teens B) stole modest amounts i#$N ,kt  
C) used violent methods D) stole for excitement V,=V   
88. The; role of the first member of the gang is to ") Xy%C`J  
A) convince the staff he's a serious shopper B) remove die goods from the shelves vAW+ ,Rfj  
C) establish the easiest goods to steal D) smooth the. path for his accomplice . cC'{+j8-a  
89. Professional shop-lifters avoid being caught in the act byA) passing goods from one to another B) hiding behind ordinary shoppers h#K863  
C) racing for the nearest exit D) concealing goods in ordinary bath j(Tt-a("z  
90. Potential shop-lifters may be identified when the: 5Qb%g )jZ  
.A) seem unable to decide what to buy B) openly signal to apparent strangers ^cO^3=  
C) are unusually chatty to assistants D) set off towards emergency exits F?]nPb|  
Passage Five ADoxma@  
Perhaps there are far more wives than I imagine who take it for granted that housework ii neither satisfying nor even \hSOJ,{)U  
important once the basic demands of hygiene and feeding have been met. But home and family is the one realm in which it is p"Ki$.Y  
really difficult to shale free: of one's upbringing and create new values. My parents' house was impeccably kept; cleanliness HhfuHZ<  
was a moral and social virtue, and personal untidiness, visibly old clothes, or long male hair provoked biting jocularity. If that Jq1 Zb  
had been all, maybe I could have adapted myself to housework on an easy-going, utilitarian basis, refusing the moral overtones k8E'wN  
but shill believing in it as something constructive because it is part of creating a home. But at the same time my mother used yQ)y#5/<6  
to recant doing it, called it drudgery, and convinced me that it wasn't a fit activity for an intelligent being. I was an only child, .@{W6 /I  
and once I was at school there was no reason why she should have continued against her will to remain housebound, unless, as I -P+( =U  
suspect, my father would not hear of her having a job of her own. \ ]  
I can now begin to understand why a woman in a small suburban house, with no infants to look after, who does not enjoy .Y.\D\>~  
reading because she has not had much of an education, and who is intelligent enough to find neighbourly chit-chat boring, |ToCRM  
should carry the pursuit of microscopic specks of dust to the point of fanaticism in an attempt to fill hours and salvage her XjpFJ#T*$A  
self-respect. My parents had not even the status-seeking impetus to send me to university that Joe's had; my mother wanted me oWGtKtDhH  
to be `a nice quiet person who wouldn't be noticed in a crowd', and it was feared that university education results in ingratitude ^7Q}W#jy  
(independence).. w]w>yD>$  
It is constantly niggling not only to be doing jobs that require so little; valuable effort, but also jobs which are mainly >U@7xeK  
concerned with simply keeping level with natural processes--cleaning jobs, whether of objects or people. which once done are /I~iUND"G  
not done for good, and will have to be done all over again, just as if I have not alreadv made the effort; the next day, or even V[>MKB(

of making sure that things do not get dirty, and people do not get unhealthy. I want to believe in health as something basic, > t *+FcD  
neutral, to assume that all the essentials are cared for, or at least will not magnify themselves into a full-time occupation. VZNMom,Wr  
Can you imagine what would happen to a man who was suddenly uprooted from a job in which he placed the meaning of :AYp{"{  
his life, and delegated to a mindless task, in performing which he was also cut off fairly completely from the people who shared =\7o@ 38  
his interests'? I think more of the men I know would disintegrate completely. R[>fT}Lo  
9l . 'The writer attributes her attitude towards housework to +5( #~  
A) her rejection of her parents' old-fashioned standards B) her determination to avoid her mother's mistakes ON~jt[

Passage: Six Z_{`$nW  
How many hypochondriacs are there? Can anybody- in the great social science industry tell me? Even to the nearest ten wb^Yg9  
thousand? UD6D![e  
I doubt it, and I think I know why. The trouble about being a hypochondriac (and I speak from a lifetime of practice) is vKYdYa\  
that you feel silly-.qty rational mind tells me that, just because the cut on my forger has been throbbing for two days, I am unlikely to die of "X~ayn'@w,
