and navigational skills, /[01:18.14]and are able to remember and re-find[01:21.42]remote places they have previously visited./[01:24.61]⑤Birds can thereby occupy widely separated areas at different seasons, / [01:30.80]returning repeatedly to the same localities from year to year./[01:35.76]⑥Although migration is evident in other animal groups, /[01:40.09]including insects, mammals, and fish, /[01:43.49]in none is it as widely and well developed as in birds./[01:48.22]⑦The collective travel routes of birds span almost the entire pla./ [01:53.69]⑧As a result of migration, bird distributions

typically five to eight printed pages in most fields, /[01:28.58]which is short and narrowly specific./[01:32.50]⑤Therefore, to provide a general overview[01:36.16]of a significant slice of science, /[01:39.15]professional writers of scientific books have to[01:43.03]organize and join the reported knowledge in a field /[01:46.85]into a much larger, more meaningful package./[01:51.26]⑥In other words, new scientific knowledge is made meaningful / [01:56.99]by sorting the bits and pieces into book reviews[02:00.81]to provide a larger picture./[02:03.49]⑦Thus, the individual plants and flowers,[02:07.18]and even the weeds, bee a landscape.Passage 8Television Advertisements[00:46.76]①A television advertisement or television mercial[00:51.00]is a span of television programming

bined /[01:22.48]in order to ensure the safe and legal disposal of the waste./[01:27.89]⑤The European Union has started a discussion /[01:31.60]that will end in an End-of-Waste directive./[01:36.44]⑥It will clarify the distinction between waste[01:39.29]that shall be treated for disposal /[01:42.04]and raw materials that can be reused for other purposes./[01:47.58]⑦All over the world, America generates more waste[01:51.36]than any other nation in the world, /[01:54.17]with 4.5 pounds of municipal solid waste per person per day, / [02:01.38]55 percent of which is

[01:51.63]will pay their members to do that./[01:54.39]⑦Getting paid to shop is certainly the ideal solution / [01:58.19]that fits perfectly with most women[02:00.59]who like to shop often or see shopping as a hobby.Passage 11Negative Effects of Television[00:49.82]①Spending too many hours watching television[00:53.23]wastes the precious time /[00:55.67]that can rather be spent in fruitful and

also be overwhelming./[01:13.33]⑤You may feel sad, an_ious, frustrated, and want to go home./ [01:18.69]⑥It’s natural to have difficulty adjusting to a new culture./ [01:22.76]⑦People from other

harmfulness[01:13.39]for the environment and people’ s health /[01:16.29]but also in the lower fuel costs./[01:19.28]④However, their production is rather e_pensive, /[01:23.14]so it is still a controversial point /[01:26.01]both for the customers and the automobile manufacturers./ [01:30.31]⑤Although they are more e_pensive to buy, /[01:32.95]they pay for themselves in a period of about 5 years /[01:37.47]because they consume less e_pensive fuels./[01:41.31]⑥The mon types of environmentally friendly cars[01:44.95]include electric cars, fuel-cell-powered cars,[01:49.79]crossbreed cars and solar cars./[01:53.47]⑦And environmentally friendly cars[01:56.46]have bee the choice of many people /[01:59.20]who decided to reduce the influence[02:01.90]of burning fossil fuels on the

sign of politeness./[01:30.07]⑦The ropriate thing to do would be to eat whatever-it-is / [01:34.80]and say how tasty it is./[01:37.63]⑧If you feel unfortable with this, /[01:40.04]you can just say a polite thank-you and leave the food there./ [01:44.95]⑨And you should never tap on your bowl with your chopsticks, / [01:48.79]which can be very insulting to the host.Passage 16Artificial

study and design of intelligent agents, /[01:01.90]where an intelligent agent is a system[01:04.96]that perceives its environment /[01:07.03]and takes actions which ma_imize its chances of success./ [01:12.23]③The field was founded on the claim that[01:15.23]human intelligence can be so precisely described /[01:18.89]that it can be simulated by a machine./[01:22.32]④The discipline of Artificial Intelligence was born[01:25.92]in the summer of 1956./[01:29.16]⑤Half of a century has passed, /[01:31.51]and Artificial Intelligence has e a long way[01:34.86]since its beginning./[01:37.29]⑥It has turned into an important field, /[01:39.59]whose influence on our daily lives[01:42.71]can hardly be underestimated./[01:45.64]⑦Many specialized Artificial Intelligence systems[01:49.30]e_ist that are at work in our cars, /[01:51.87]in our lap puters,[01:54.28]and in our personal and mercial technologies./[01:57.71]⑧There is no doubt that the impact of Artificial Intelligence [02:01.96]on our lives in the future /[02:03.85]will bee even more general and universal.Passage 17Idioms[00:46.45]①An idiom is defined as a group of words /[00:49.47]whose meaning must be known as a whole, /[00:53.14]because it cannot be learned from the meaning[00:56.00]of the same words used separately./[00:58.98]②Obviously, there is a problem /[01:01.12]when you cannot look up individual words in a dictionary [01:04.96]and find the meaning, /[01:06.87]the usual strategy we all employ[01:09.60]when we e across a word or words that are unfamiliar./ [01:14.10]③With idioms, however, we must learn
