Once upon a time there was a man who went around selling small rat traps of wire. He made them himself at odd moments, from the material he got by begging in the stores or at the big farms. But even so, the business was not specially profitable, so he had to resort to both begging and petty thievery to keep body and soul together. Even so, his clothes were in rags, his cheeks were sunken, and hunger gleamed in his eyes. No one can imagine how sad and monotonous life can appear to such a vagabond, who plods along the road, left to his own conditions. But one day this man had fallen into a line of thought, which really seemed to him entertaining. He had naturally been thinking of his rat traps when suddenly he was struck by the idea that the whole world about him-the whole world with its lands and seas, its cities and villages-was nothing but a big rat trap. It had never existed for any other purpose than to set baits for people. It offered riches and joys, shelter and food, heat and clothing, exactly as the rat trap offered cheese and pork, and as soon as anyone let himself be tempted to touch the bait, it closed in on him, and then everything came to an end. The world had, of course, never been very kind to him, so it gave him unwonted joy to think ill of it in this way. It became a cherished pastime of his, during many dreary plodding’s, to think of people he knew who had let themselves be caught in the dangerous snare, and of others who were still circling around the bait.The life of rat comes to an end when it tries to find: |
| A. | Gate |
| B. | Window |
| C. | Bait |
| D. | Walls |
| E. | None of these |
| Answer» D. Walls | |

If you think a taxidermist has anything to do with driving a taxi then you will learn something new by the end of this passage. A taxidermist is a person whose job is to preserve dead animals and show them as they looked when they were alive. The word taxidermy comes from two Greek words meaning arrangement and skin. A taxidermist first takes exact measurements of the body of the dead animal. He/She then carefully removes and cleans the skin with a preservative or a special soap. The taxidermist then makes a drawing of the animal?s body structure, including its muscles and bones. This is done so that by looking at the drawing he/she makes a skeleton frame of the animal out of metal or wood. Or he/she may use the real skeleton of the animal if it is available. To this skeleton, the taxidermist adds clay and completes the animal's shape to make a mould. Once the shape is ready, it is used to make casting from the mould. Finally, the skin of the animal is glued and sewed on to the casting or sculpture of the animal. To become a taxidermist, a person needs to be proficient at natural history, drawing, sculpture, mechanics and dyeing. The first thing a taxidermist does is to ______. |

Over four hundred years after his death, scholars are still unravelling the mysteries of Michelangelo's art. Recently, one mystery that was revealed was that his famous drawing of a pensive Cleopatra included a hidden drawing of a different Cleopatra on the reverse side. This hidden Cleopatra shows a tormented woman, whose eyes stare out at the viewer and whose mouth is open, screaming in horror. The two images, drawn on two sides of the same paper, can be viewed simultaneously. A second mystery concerns Michelangelo's architectural plan for the dome of St. Peter Basilica in Rome. Did he intend for the dome to look like the model he built between 1558 and 1561? Or did he change his mind after building the model and decided to elevate the dome in the way it is today? Scholars do not agree on the answer. A third mystery about one of the greatest artists who ever lived was why he destroyed hundreds or thousands of his drawings before he died. Did he feel they were unimportant? Did he want posterity to see only his finished products? According to the passage, Michelangelo is: |
| A. | a private person. |

| C. | the most famous architect in Rome. |
| D. | screaming in horror. |

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:What carmakers often mean when they say a car is well-designed is that it appeals to men, particularly to their less noble instinct. "Beautiful body she must move like a dream." But auto-macho is going out of style. In America, 47% of new private cars are bought by women, up from 35% in 1989. Add in the influence women have on a family's car-buying and it is probable that women are more influential overall in choosing cars than men. So, carmakers are learning to create designs that appeal to them.Women tend to buy cheaper cars, largely because working women tend to have lower income. In America, they buy 55% of the small cars, 44% of medium sized ones, but only 28% of large and luxurious models. They put more store on reliability than men do, probably a hidden reason for the rise in Japanese imports.American carmakers are now tailoring certain versions of their cars with women in mind. And they are learning that design can sway even normally pragmatic women, as a comparison between Ford's Thunderbird and Mercury Cougar demonstrates. The Thunderbird is a high performance car, i.e., it goes fast and is styled to look aggressive. Less than 40% of Thunderbirds are bought by women. But the same car-with a more sedate body, a different name (the Cougar) and different advertising-is as popular with women as it is with men.Suppose VX 1000 is a new car that is taking away customers from Japanese cars. Our close at hypothesis would be that VX 1000: |
| A. | must be less macho. |
| B. | might be cheaper. |
| C. | might be better advertised. |
| D. | might be more reliable. |
| E. | None of these |
