  Many years ago when the summers seemed longer and life was less complicated, we had rented a cottage   26   a river in the heart of the country   27   the whole family was going to   28   a threeweek holiday. There were four of us: me, Mum and Dad, and Mum’s sister, Auntie June. Oh, and I mustn’t forget to   29   Spot, our little dog. I was     30   to go off by myself all day,   31   I promised to be careful and took Spot with me for   32    One day I was out fishing with Spot when we heard a lot of shouting in the  33   followed by a scream and splash. I was a bit   34   so I called Spot and we both hid   35   a bush where we could see but not be   36   . After a few moments, a straw hat  came drifting down the river, followed by an oar, a picnic basket and  37   oar. Then came the rowing boat itself, but  it was   38   upside down! A few seconds later my Dad and Auntie June came running   39   the river bank, both wet  40   . Spot started barking so I came out of hiding and said hello. My Dad got really angry   41   me for not trying to catch the boat as it went past. luckily,  42   , the boat and both the oars had been caught by an overhanging tree a little further downstream, but not the hat or picnic basket. So I had to let them   43   my sandwiches. Dad and Auntie June both made me   44   not to tell Mum what had happened  45   she would be worried.

  Text 1
  Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man: since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake related fatalities have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake related destruction has been beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis (gigantic sea waves), and other observable events resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakes themselves.
  The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering landmasses. The other extends from the East Indies to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time.
  This element of the unknown  has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake forecast may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth’s shell, variations in the earth’s force of attraction, and the frequency with which minor earth shakes are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in expecting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen)the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.
  It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur.
  46.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
  [A] Earthquake destruction is declining.
  [B] Earthquake forecast is improving.
  [C] Man is no longer fearful of earthquakes.
  [D] Man is capable of conquering earthquakes.
  47.We can infer from the passage that quakes         .
  [A] may happen anywhere at any time
  [B] mostly strike in oceans and mountains
  [C] are unobservable in masses of land
  [D] are hardly the direct cause of fatalities
  48.The phrase “this element of the unknown” (Paragraph 3) refers to         .
  [A] the extension of earthquake zones
  [B] the percentage of earthquake occurrences
