Thomas Cook (1808 -1892) is widely considered to be the father of modern mass tourism. He organised the first package (1) tour in history. He arranged for the Midland Counties Railway to charge one shilling per person for a group of campaigners travelling (2) from Leicester to a rally in Loughborough, eleven miles away. Cook was paid a share of the fares charged to the passengers, as the railway tickets couldn't (3) be issued at his own price. There (4) had been railway excursions before, but this one included entrance to an entertainment held on private grounds, rail tickets, and food during the train (5) journey . Cook immediately saw the potential of a convenient ‘off-the-peg’ holiday product in which everything was (6) included in one cost. Afterwards he pioneered (7) package  holidays both in Britain and on the European continent (where Paris and the Alps were the most popuiar destinations). He founded the (8) travel agency Thomas Cook & Son ( popularly nicknamed Cook's Tours), which became Thomas Cook AG eventually becoming Thomas Cook Group in 2007.

THE TERROR OF THE SEA

Some 16,000 icebergs are born in the Arctic Ocean each year. Most of them are calved by the age-old glaciers that cover the coast of Greenland.

Fortunately, in an average year only about 400 of them make it past the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Once past that point, they are in some of the world's busiest shipping lanes. There they are as dangerous as torpedoes. In the year 1912, when the Titanic went down with 1 503 lives, about 1,000 icebergs made it past the Grand Banks.

A newborn iceberg, unlike most newborn things, is bigger to begin with and slowly grows smaller. When it first breaks free from the mother glacier an Arctic baby may weigh up to 3 million tons and as big as a block in New York City. But it takes two or three years of travel before it reaches the Banks. By that time most icebergs are less than 100 feet in height. Sometimes, however, a giant one, towering 400 feet above the sea is spotted.

The sight of these “blocks” is frightening enough, bụt the real danger lies in the fact that 85 percent of the bulk lies hidden under the water, ready to cut the hull of any ship that comes too close.

Icebergs usually die after they pass thè Grand Banks and meet the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. Yet, a melted-down iceberg was seen about 200 miles south of Bermuda. It was only 15 by 30 feet in size. But remember almost nine times that size was hiding under the water. It was still big enough to sink a ship.

Time, sun and the Gulf stream slowly change the icebergs to water, but, whilethey live, they are a hazard to the strongest ship and a terror to the bravest captain.

76. This article tells mostly about .......

A. ships sunk by icebergs B. how icebergs are spotted

C. dangerous icebergs D. ships built for destroying icebergs

77. About 85 percent of the iceberg is .......

A. under the water B. frozen freshwater

EDVARD MUNCH

This style later became known as Expressionism, and many 20th century artists were influenced by him.

At the time, though, Norwegian critics could not understand his work and(70) ______ it shocking. Munch moved to Germany in 1892, but met with the same reaction there.

VIII. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer for each question.When we accept the evidence of our unaided eyes and describe the Sun as ayellow star, we have summed up the most important single fact about it - at this moment in time, it appears probable, however, that sunlight will be the color we know for only a negligibly small part of the Sun's history.

Stars, like individuals, age and change. As we look out into space, we see around us stars at all stages of evolution. There are faint bloodred dwarfs so cool that their surface temperature is a mere 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit; there are searing ghosts blazing at 100,000 degrees Fahrenheit and almost too hot to be seen, for the great part of their radiation is in the invisible ultraviolet range. Obviously, the “daylight” produced by any star depends on its temperature; today (and for ages to come) our Sun is at about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and this means that most of the Sun’s light is concentrated in the yellow band of the spectrum, falling slowly in intensitytoward both the longer and shorter light waves.

That yellow “hump” will shift as the Sun evolves, and the light of day will change accordingly. It is natural to assume that as the sun grows older, and uses up its hydrogen fuel - which it is now doing at the spanking rate of half a billion tons a second - it will become steadily colder and redder.

76. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Faint dwarf stars. B. The evolutionary cycle of the Sun.

c. The Sun's fuel problem. D. The dangers of invisible radiation.

77. What does the author say is especially important about the Sun at the present time?

A. It appears yellow. B. It always remains the same.

c. It has a short history. D. It is too cold.

78. Why are very hot stars referred to as “ghosts”?

A. They are short-lived. B. They are mysterious,

c. They are frightening. D. They are nearly invisible.

79. According to the passage, as the Sun continues to age, it is likely to become what color?

A. Yellow. B. Violet. c. Red. D. White.

80. In the passage, to which of the following does the word “it" refer?

A. Yellow “hump”. B. Day. c. Sun. D. Hydrogen fuel.
