　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　The potato is native to South America.

　　It was probably first brought to England by Sir John Hawkins

　　but attracted little interest.

　　It was reintroduced by Drake in 1586.

　　Sir Walter Raleigh first grew potatoes in Ireland.

　　The potato was praised by Bacon and was served

　　at the Royal table by 1619.

　　Ever since then it has been an important item of Ritish died

　　especially in Ireland

　　during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries it was the main food of the Irish

　　and there was starvation and famine when the crop failed

　　as it did in the 1840

　　Also in Ireland

　　and illegal and very strong liquor called poteen is brewed from the potato.

　　11. Who should be regarded as the first person to plant potatoes in Ireland?

　　12. Which of the following is not true?

　　13. According to the passage,what is considered an illegal act?

　　Passage Two

　　There is increasing scientific evidence that large cars cause more highway accidents than small car

　　In the news recently was the story of a woman who died of a heart attack while driving her station wagon.

　　The car was moving so fast that it went through the highway-dividing fench

　　resulting in a collision in which five people died.

　　Those unnecessary deaths are attributable in part to the woman's choice of a large automobile.

　　A lighter and smaller car probably wouldn't have gone through the fence

　　because the heavier the car

　　the greater the force it will have in a collision.

　　Furthermore,even if the lighter car had broken through the fence

　　its remaining energy would have been much less

　　and this would have reduced the chances of serious injury or death.

　　Because of its small size

　　it might have missed the other car completely.

　　The present design of the oversized automobile is largely responsible not only for the increasing death

　　toll on the highway but also for the rapid depletion of our resources of petroleum

　　for the pollution of our environment

　　for urban sprawl,and for the congestion and inconenience of our cities.

　　14. What did the author want to tell us?

　　15. In the author's opinion, what's the best way to reduce the chances of serious injury or death in highway accidents?

　　16. According to the passage,which of the following is not the disadvantage of the oversized automobile?

　　Passage Three

　　For all its benefits,television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young.

　　Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world

　　that commercials lie in order to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless.

　　They believe and want to imitate what they see.

　　They do believe that they will make more friends if they use a certain soap

　　or some other product.

　　By the time they are out of high school

　　most young people have watched about 15,000 hours of television

　　and have seen about 18,000 killings or other acts of violence.

　　How could they be choked to see the same in real life.

　　All educators and psychologists agree that they "television generations"

　　are more violent than their parents and grandparent

　　It is certain that television has deeply transformed our lives and our society.

　　It is certain that, along with its benefit

　　it has brought enormous problem

　　To those problems we must soon find a solution

　　because--whether we like it or not--television is here to stay.

　　17. What does the paragraph before this passage most probably discuss?

　　18. What do we learn from the passage?

　　19. How many days of television have most young people watched when they graduate from high school?

　　20. What can be inferred from the passage?
