Section B Passage I Bees are very small animals which fly through the air to look for flowers for food. Bees have been studied by Karl von Frisch who won a Nobel Prized for his work. He studied bees' activities when they returned to their home called a hive. When a bee found some food, it returned to the hive and danced. The dance was the way the bee communicated to other bees the fact that it had found food. Bees do two kinds of dances to tell other bees of their discovery of food. First, there is a round dance. In this dance, the bee moves in a circle inside the hive. The round dance is used when food is close by. The food must not be more than ten meters away. If a bee comes back and does round dance, other bees know they must go out and look nearby for food. The bees also smell the bee that has found the food. The smell tells them what kind of flower to look for. After watching the round dance and smelling the bee that has found the food, the other bees can find the food source. A second kind of dance done by the bees is a tail-wagging dance. In this dance, the bee wiggles the end of its body as it moves in a straight line. The tail-wagging dance is used when the food is far away. The food must be more than ten meters away. The bees know from the speed of the tail-wagging dance just how far away the food source is. The line the bee dances on shows the direction that the bees must fly in to find the food. In the tail-wagging dance, the bees also smell the bee that has found the food. The smell tells them what kind of flower to look for. After watching the tail-wagging dance and smelling the bee that has found the food, the other bees know three things. They know how far to fly, what direction to fly in , and what kinds of flowers to look for. 11. What do the bee's round dance and tail-wagging dance indicate? 12. What does the speed of the tail-wagging dance tell other bees? 13. How can the bees in the passage be described?
Passage II According to government statistics, men of all social classes in Britain visit pubs quite regularly, thought the kind of pub they go to may be different and their reasons for going there vary, too. Nowadays they often take their wives or girl-friends, which used not to be the case. The fact is that the typical English pub is changing, partly because of the licensing laws not being so strict as they were, but also because publicans are trying to do away with the old Victorian image of the pub. Pubs now provide couples with an atmosphere where they can both enjoy themselves. Pubs used not to open except at certain times. The result was that they were usually crowded with men who seemed to be drinking as much as in the time available. But that kind of pub is rapidly becoming a thing of past. Opening hours are still limited to eight hours a day, but the publican can now choose which hours suit him best. And these days you can even get a cup of coffee if you prefer it to beer. But in spite of this the Puritans would never dream of admitting that a pub could become a respectable place. 14. What do government statistics show? 15. How were things going with pubs in the past? 16. How do Puritans feel about the pubs?
Passage III Some critics of American society say that dishonesty is rampant in the Federal government. One example they cite took place during March and April,1980. For a whole month, they say, the United States lied to its allies. Cyrus Vance, who was then Secretary of State, was given the task of telling Great Britain, Japan, France, West Germany and others that the United States would not take military action against Iran as long as we had the cooperation of our allies. Secretary of State Vance knew that the raid to get out the American captives was already planned while he was talking to our allies. But he also knew that the reason for this deliberate lying was to save lives. The primary purpose of the deception was not to trick our allies but to mislead the Iranian kidnappers so that a rescue attempt could take up. 17. Who was Cryus Vance? 18. What was the lie about? 19. What was the primary purpose of the deception? 20. What information can we get from the passage?
