A young man from Germany named Levi Strauss arrived in California in 1850.
He went there to sell things to the miners. He saw that the miners needed strong
pants, so he began to make them. He used cloth that people made tents from.
He put rivets on the pockets to make them strong because the men put rocks in
their pockets. These pants were very strong and lasted a long time. The pants
became very popular immediately. Later Mr. Strauss started making jeans from
cotton cloth from Nimes, France. People called this cloth denim. Denim was
popular in the fifteenth century. Christopher Columbus used denim for the sails
of his ships. Sailors in Genoa, Italy, wore denim pant. The words “jeans”
comes from the word “Genoa”. Mr. Strauss made the first jeans in the United
States, but the idea and the kind of cloth came from Europe. The names came
from France and Italy. Jeans were always blue until recently. People used
indigo to dye them. Indigo is the oldest dye in the world. Most jeans have blue
threads going across and white threads going up and down. These two colors
make denim look different from other kinds of cloth.

IV. Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
Greenhouse gases refer to the atmosphere gases that cause greenhouse effect.
Some of these gases happen naturally, while others are caused by human ac-
tivities. Carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, and water vapor are
some examples of greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases act like a natural blanket to the earth. They keep the
temperature of the earth warmer and longer. Greenhouse gases cause many
environmental and ecosystem problems.
Because the temperature of the globe is warmer, the glaciers and polar ice caps
begin to melt. As a result, sea levels have risen. The studies also show that
floods and droughts are more severe. There are also more reports of extreme
weather, like hurricane Katrina. There will be more tidal wave and beach
erosion on the coasts.

Computerization has changed high school education in many ways. The first is
the use of the computer as a teaching aid for teachers. The next is the massive
data storage and fast data gain from computers. In early 1980s only 20% of
high school teachers in the US used computers. However, since then high
schools in the US have computerized rapidly. In 1987, school acquired about
1.5 million computers with 95% of the schools having at least one computer. At
school, teachers can use a computer to bring texts, sound and pictures into a
classroom. With a computer, they can more readily attract and retain students’
attention. Computers can also speed up the teaching process and make difficult-
to-explain ideas straights forward. This means that teachers can spend more
time answering students’questions and catering for other needs. Computer
software can shorten the learning process by illustrating real world applications
of abstract theories.

IV. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer:
In an early survey conducted in 1888, a billion and a half people inhabited
the earth. Now, the population is about six billion and is growing fast. Even
though the rate of growth has begun to slow down, most people believe the
population size may be eight billion during the next several years.
If we examine the amount of land available for this ever-increasing
population, we begin to see the problem. Not all land is useful to us because
it cannot produce food. We can cut out about one fifth of it because it is
covered by snow and ice. Then we can cut out another fifth because it is
desert. Another fifth is mountains. The other fifth does not have enough soil
for crops to grow because it is bare rock. Obviously, with so little land to
support us, we should take great care not to reduce it any more or with the
rapidly growing population we may sooner or later lack food to eat and
place to live in.
26. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The world's population and the shortage of cultivated land.

Each summer, the Winant and Clayton Volunteer program sends a group
of Americans to volunteer in London for seven weeks and provides
housing and a small stipend to help defray the high cost of living. After
seven weeks of volunteering, participants have two weeks to travel
independently before returning to London to evaluate the program and get
their flight back to the United States.

The application includes a few short essays, a series of questions about

the type of placement one would prefer, and an informal interview with
former volunteers that gives applicants a chance to find out more about the
program.
Deciding to participate takes a small leap of faith. The roster of
volunteer placements and housing options can change from year to year
and volunteers can’t choose their placement in advance. But once you’re
accepted you instantly feel that you’ve joined a close-knit group. The
volunteer coordinator is in frequent contact through mailings and e-mails
to help you prepare for the trip, and there is a daylong orientation in New
York that bring all the volunteers together before departure for London.
