ANSWER SHEET. $8BPlqBIZ  
Passage 1 z;y:9l  
  Guthrie's contiguity principle offers practical suggestions for how to break IsR!'%Pu  
babies. }l=xiAF  
  One application of the thrcshoM method involves the time young children S{3 nM<  
spend on academic activities. Young children have short attention spans, so the G}p\8Q}'  
length of time they can sustain work on one activity is limited. Most activities Z@r.pRr'  
are scheduled to last no longer than 30 to 40 minutes. However, at the start of m4*@o?Ow  
the school year, attention spans quickly wane and behavior problems often *z7dl5xJ  
result. To apply Gutiarie's theory, a teacher might, at the start of the year, limit ZK)%l~J  
activities to 15 to 20 minutes. Over the next few weeks the teacher could fum0>tff  
gredually increase the time students spend working on a single activity. A<y nIs<  
  The threshold methoci also can be applied to teaching printing abd 71l%MH  
handwriting. When children first learn to form letters, their movements b 5^OQH{v  
awkward and they lack free motor coordination. The distances between lines on M+x,opl  
a page are purposely wide so children can fit the letters into the space. If paper C"{k7yT  
with narrow lines is initially introduced, students' letters would spill over the r hfb ftw  
borders and students might become frustrated. Once students can form letters '}9 JCJ  
within the larger borders, they can use paper with smaller borders to help them {%C7EAq*  
refine their skills. F;>!&[h}G  
  The fatigue method can be applied when disciplining disruptive students D$x_o!JT  
who build paper airplanes and sail them across the room. The teacher can ?^N3&ukkyo  
remove the students from the classroom, We them a large stack of paper, and 'g{9@PkGn  
tell them to start making paper airplanes. After the students have made several jQ)T67  
airplanes, the activity should lose its attraction and paper will become a cue for [n/hkXa$\  
not building airplanes. }-@`9(o`)  
  Some students continually race around the gym when they first enter their d \35a4l  
physical education class. To employ the fatigue method, theteacher might dc rSz4E|>  
decide to have these students continue to run a few more laps after the class has x)_0OR2lkp  
begun. =J~ x  
  The incompatible response method can be used with students who talk and &e8s65`  
misbehave in the media center. Reading is incompatible with talking. The 0c#/hFn  
media center teacher might ask the students'to find interesting books and read ZGd!IghL  
them while in the center. Assuming that the studentS find the books enjoyable, b2FO$Os  
the media center will, over time, become a cue for selecting and reading books ?)#5X_V-q  
rather than for talking with other students. ny54XjtG,  
In a social studies class some students regularly fall asleep. The teacher Z@$8I{}G  
realized that using the board and overhead projector while lecturing was very dYgXtl=#j  
boring. Soon the teacher began to incorporate other elements into each lesson, >_LDMs[-p  
such as experiments, videotapes, and debates, in an attempt to involvs students W='> :H  
and raise their interest in the course. n9xAPB }  
41. The purpose of this passage is to___ ::/j$bL  
A. inform     B. persuade     C. debate   D. narrate E^ SH\5B  
42. Guthrie identified three methods for__ 9*(aU z9j  
A. educating students       B. altering bad habits Ho *AAg  
C. avoiding undesired action     D. forming good hobbies Ny%(VI5:  
43. Which of the following is not the example of applying the threshold 5O6hxcMjT  
method? 9\DQ>V TQ  
A. Parents introduce spinach in small bites or mixed with a food than the fP `b>]N_  
  child enjoys over time so that the child will not refuse to eat it. I'0@viF"Nx  
B. Teachers introduce academic content in short blocks of time for young IyLx0[:U  
  children and gradually increase session length but not to where students qhz]Wm P   
  become frustrated or bored. >:|q&|x-  
C. Paper with wider lines is first used and then paper with narrow lines is PxS8 n?y  
  introduced step by step to help children learn printing and handwriting. x3"# POp  
D. A child might be made to throw toys until it is no longer fan by his B[ 4KX  
  parents in order to change his behavior of repeatedly throwing toys. h^o{@/2  
44. To stop snacking while watching television, people should keep their hands [n$BRk|  
busy by sewing, painting, working crossword puzzles, and so forth. Over hHMN6i  
time. watching TV becomes a cue for engaging in an activity other than iS<I0\D  
snac 'king. What method is used in this example? O~^"  
A. The threshold method.         B. The fatigue method. \9g+^vQg  
C. The incompatible response method.   D. The punishment method. u9EgdpD  
45. We can draw the conclusion from the passage that wD]/{ jw  
A. The incompatible response method is to force child to make unwanted >M/V oV  
  response repeatedly in presence of stimulus until he or she becomes ~'CE[G5  
  exhausted g #6E|n  
B. The threshold method refers to introducing undesired behavior with a HI11Jl}{  
  response incompatible with the undesired response so they can not be KW^7H  
  performed simultaneously BjzPz  
C. The fatigue method means that engaging in the behavior is transformde q*7VqB  
  into avoiding it by introducing the stimulus at full strength so it becomes c>)Yt^ q&K  
  a cue for not performing it  D 'Zt  
D. The fatigue method is that in presence of stimulus teachers have child C .~+*"Vw  
  make response incompatible with unwanted response #I bp(  
Passage 2 uvG]1m#  
The increase in global trade means that international companies cannot 1jF`5k  
afford to make costly advertising mistakes if they want to be competitive. cj'}4(  
Understanding the language and culture of target markets in foreign `I,,C,{C  
countries is one of the keys to successful international marketing. Too many <t \H^H!  
companies, however, have jumped into foreign markets with embarrassing DRi<6Ob  
wralts . ZG Ku>yM  
Translation mistakes are at the heart of many blunders in international :dQ B R  
advertising. mh{1*T$fP  
General Motors, the US auto manufacturer, got a costly lesson when it n74V|b6W  
introduced its Chevrole Nova to the Puerto Rican market. "Nova" is Latin for zp%Cr.)$  
new (star)" and means "star" in many languages, but in spoken Spanish it can "$N+"3I  
sound like "no va", meaning "it doesn't go". Few people wanted to buy a car .w8J*JZ  
with that cursed meaning. When GM changed the name to Caribe, sales l)&X$3?tz  
picked up" dramatically. ap+JQ@b  
Marketing blunders have also been made by food and beverage companies. x?2@9u8Yb  
3ne American food company's friendly "Jolly Green Giant" (for advertising L'0B$6  
,egetables) became something quite different when it was translated into )6D,d5<  
Arabic as "Intimidating Green Ogre". Wg<(ms dj  
When translated into German Pepsi's popular slogan, "Come Alive with vRH d&0  
Pepsi" came out implying "Come Alive from the Grave". No wonder customers HV{wI1  
in Germany didn't rush out to buy Pepsi. P;ci9vk  
Successful international marketing doesn't stop with good c_'OPJ  
ranslafions--,-other aspects of culture must be researched and understood ff |m^k_d!d  
aarketers are to avoid blunders. 3 +G$-ru  
When marketers do not understand and appreciate the values, tastes, rzm:Yx  
geography, climate, superstitions, religion, or economy of a culture, they fail to v{ 0=  
capture their target market. e'~J,(fB  
For example, an American designer tried to introduce a new pentare ihto b2OQtSr a  
the Latin American market but the product aroused little interest. The mail lE&&_INHQ  
reason was that the camellia used in it was traditionally used for funerals in t>`a sL  
many South American countries. ,0~n3G  
  Having awakened to the special nature of foreign advertising, companies =,_ +0M9  
are becoming much more conscientious in their translations and more sensitive H1QJ k_RL  
to cultural distinctions. z6jc8Z=O  
                        XF;ES3 d  
The best way to prevent errors is to hire professional translators who d9;g]uj`  
understand the target language and its idiomatic usage, or to use a technique |yQZt/*SOZ  
called "back translation" to reduce the possibility of blunders. w~"KA6^  
  The process uses one person to translate a message into the target X[&Wkr8x '  
language and another to translate it back. Effective translators aim to capture ,^w?6?,&l}  
the, overall message of an advertisement because a word-for-word duplication _/6!yyl  
of the original rarely conveys the intended meaning and often causes MHX?@. v  
misunderstandings. ->g*</  
In designing advertisements for other countries, messages need to be shot x,|hU@h  
and simple. 'E/^8md>  
They should also avoid jokes, since what is considered funny in one part T"E6y"D  
of the world may not be so humorous in another. YW_Q\|p]M  
46. The best title of this passage might be __ . Sjyoc<Uo  
A. Culture Is Very Important ia Advertishag D6>2s\:>vp

Passage 3 h]+C.Eqnt#  
It is not unusual for chief executives to collect millions of dollars a year in M dZ&A}S  
pay, stock options, and bonuses. In the last fifteen years, while executive AsAT_yv#  
remuneration rose, taxes in the highest income bracket went down. Millionaires <j*;.yyC  
are now commonplace. F(k.,0Nc  
Amiability is not a prerequisite for rising to the top, and there are a hAYTj0GZ  
number of chief executive officers with legendary bad tempers. It is not the k7?N ?7w  
boss's job to worry about the well-being of his subordinates although the man ^?cz,N~  
with many enemies wi!! be swept out more quickly in hard times; it is the #!aN{nK0  
company he worries about . His business savvy is supposed to be based on D7lK3 0  
intimate knowledge of .his company and the industry .so he goes home nightly @wpN6 /   
with a full briefcase. At the very top - and on the way up - executives are #E? (vA1  
exceedingly dedicated. VL% UR{  
The American executive must be capable of enough small talk to get him Z*y`R XE  
through the social part of his schedule, but he is probably not a highly cultured !>{G,\^=pT  
individual or an intellectual. Although his wife may be on the board of the t]y D-3'l&  
symphony or opera, he himself has little time for such pursuits. His reading %\D)u8}  
may largely concern business and management, despite interests in other fields. ^B(V4-|  
Golf provides him with a sportive outlet that combines with some useful LJk@Vy <?  
socializing. |uqf:V`z:  
These days, he probably attempts some form of aerobic exercise to "keep 7ePqmB<.  
the old heart in shape" and for the same reason goes easy on butter and alcohol, vy0X_DPCr  
and substances thought to contribute to taking highly stressed executives out of ?]Pmxp H}  
the running. But his doctor's admonition to "take it easy" falls on deaf eyes. He lsNrAA%m  
likes to work. He knows there are younger men nipping at his heels. ]l1\? I  
Corporate head-hunting, carried on by "executive search fares," is a ofPHmh`  
growing industry. America has great faith in individual talent, and dynamic and =NnNN'}  
aggressive executives are so in demand that companies regularly raid each v@Gl|29_  
other's managerial ranks. OK{quM5  
51. We can infer from the second paragraph that___ h\5OrD@L  
  A. promotion depends on amiability ;'5>q&[qbP  
  B. chief executives do not work hard enough at the top level AvdXEY(-  
  C. it is the duty of the chief executive to look after the well-being of his ZAv,*5&<  
    subordinates \@8+U;d  
  D. a chief executive is expected to know more about his company and the *pAV2V(!23  
  industry IPgt|if^  
52. The term "aerobic exercise" (fa'st line in second last paragraph) is a kind Of \hBG<nH{0

  A. hallucination exercise i\KQ!f>A  
  B. physical exercise ebT:/wu,2

  A. there are too many aggressive executives i'9vL:3  
  B. individual talent is not essential for a company m=}B,']O

Passage 4 Z/t+8;TMR,  
In November 1970 Yukio Mishima, together withsome of his fanatical C q%IE^g<  
followers from the ultranationalistic Shield Society WhiCh. he had four, dod in gLy&esJl1  
1966, broke into the headquarters of Japan's Eastern Defense Forces armed {buo^kgj`]  
with swords and daggers, overpowered some aides, tied up the commanding k&,~qoU  
general, and demanded that the troops be assembled to hear a speech. Mishima rNB_W.   
addressed the troops for ten minutes, inciting them to rebel against the W3 'q\+  
constitutional govemment imposed by the United States that had, in his words, E;+O($bA  
"turned Japan spineless." Receiving only ridicule in response, he returned to the jV4\A

After Mishima had driven a dagger deep into his left abdomen, one of his aides X&7 F_#s  
severed his head with a sword. The aide likewise 'killed himself and was 0a}u;gt,4w  
5eheaded; the others surrendered. {&\jW!&n  
  In 1936 there had been a similar revolt and, though equally unsuccessful, SV2M+5#;  
it had foreshadowed the repressive re,me of General Tojo that was to stage tho "x3lQ  
attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. That earlier revolt is the one referred to in cVv;Jn  
"Patriotism," one of Mishima's most powerful stories. Here life and fiction )i !o8YB  
become joined. The act of seppuku was for Mishima a fulfdlment, "the ultimate TrLu~4  
dream of my life." Bom of an ancient samurai family, he longed to die a hero's ~ xft  
death in accordance with the ancient samurai code; but his weak body kept him rvnT6Ve  
from service in the war, and he had to compensate through body building (he joiL{  
became expert at karate and kendo) and, most important, through the discipline C/TF-g-_Y  
writing. In his short lifetime he turned out twenty novels, thirty plays, many TWQG591  
essays, and more than eighty stories: he also produced, directed, and acted in  :}@g6   
movies, and even sang on stage. His first book of stories, A Forest in Flower, _nbBIaHN{  
appeared in 1943, but it was Confession of a Mask (1948), dealing with the f;1K5Y  
meditations of a young man of homosexual leanings in a repressive society, that =8; {\  
brought him fame. aVK3?y2

One might ask why speculation is permitted when there is so real a danger of vh*U]3@  
loss. The basic reason is that speculation can perform useful functions in the 82]vkU  
economy. Buying a commodity or stock in the belief that prices will rise speeds 1f8GW  
market equilibrium and encourages faster entry of more suppliers. If the price A _XhuQB;d  
change lagged until after an actual commodity shortage had occurred, the iTV) NsC}  
fluctuation would probably be sharper and more sudden. Remedial supply _<NMyRJo  
action could not be further delayed. Similarly, if speculators foresee a surplus in aOiR l,  
some commodity, their selling of futures will help drive the price down to some 3l3'bw2  
extent before the SurpluS actually occurs. When speculators foresee a shortage ,iv|Pq $!  
and bid up the price, they are also helphng to conserve the present supply. As #*g5u{k'P  
the price goes up,less of the commodity is purchased; a rise in price |7}C QU  
encourages users to ecor, om2ze. Similarly, a lowering of price encourages users 8WXJ.  
to buy more, thus helping to sell the surplus which is developing. h?FmBK'BAd
