The atom bomb and still more the hydrogen bomb have caused new fears, involving new doubts as to the 
effects of science on human life. Some eminent authorities, including Einstein, have pointed out that there is 
a danger of extinction of all life on Earth. I do not myself think that this will happen in the next war, but I 
think it may well happen in the next one but , if that is allowed to occur. If this expectation is correct, we 
have to choose within the next fifty years or so, between two alternatives. Either we must allow the human 
race to exterminate itself, or we must forgo certain liberties which are very dear to us.
22. It is stated that ........................ . 
a. the scientist should ignore moral issues 
b. Einstein seldom agreed with other scientists as regards the value of human life 
c. science is not always beneficial to mankind 
d. personal liberties are the things we should fight for 
e. scientists will prevent any further war 
23. The writer believes that the only way to avoid war ........................ . 
a. cannot be found within the next half century 
b. is to give up certain much loved liberties 
c. is to submit everything to arbitration 
d. is by a voluntary lowering of economic standards 
e. is by fairly facing the problems of all nations 
24. A suitable title for this text could be ........................ .
a. What Choice to Make? 
b. Another Nuclear War 
c. Einstein and His Theories 
d. The Extermination of Mankind 
e. How to Safeguard Liberties

Today, Canada is in the grip of a sudden industrial revolution. While the first, something from the 1860s to 
the 1960s, shattered the main section of the Canadian economy from agriculture to industry, the new 
revolution is changing the economy away from traditional smokestack manufacturing industries to those 
based upon information, services and new technologies. It took the country years to get used to the cultural 
and social changes resulting from the first industrial revolution, and it would be rashly optimistic to assume 
that Canadians will not face serious stresses in coming to terms with the changes that are transforming the 
workplace today. 
1. It can be understood from the passage that the Canadian economy ____. 
a. was, at the beginning, largely an agricultural one 
b. was, from the start, based on heavy industry 
c. has, over the years, undergone very little radical changes 
d. has recently entered a period of recession 
e. has invariably kept a balance between agriculture and industry 
2. The passage points out that the change in Canada from an agricultural to an industrial economy ____. 
a. was bitterly opposed by a large segment of society 
b. was achieved in a very short period of time, actually only about two decades 
c. made the use of information technologies indispensable 
d. brought with it many new cultural and social conditions which took years to resolve 
e. brought little benefit to the country as a whole 
3. The author has the opinion that the Canadians____. 
a. will find the second industrial revolution hard to cope with 
b. are closing down heavy industry far too soon 
c. don't pay adequate attention to conditions in the workplace 
d. may turn back to an agricultural economy 
e. have already lost their control over manufacturing industries 
So many books was written on computers, computer programming, and computer programming languages, 
particularly C++. To write another book on C++, even the newest C++ IV, probably seems difficult to most, 
and it is with mild anxiety that, I, the author, take place in this project. But, some good reasons can be 
stated for doing just that. Most computer professionals will agree that the field of computer and information 
science has quickly become a valid discipline for academia, and that changes are occurring in computer 
programming languages. Both of these facts demand that a new direction be taken in presenting the 
subject. 
4. One can understand from the passage that the writer is somewhat apprehensive in case _____ . 
a. computer sales should drop sharply 
b. developments in computer programming will become more and more costly 
c. his book will be felt, by many people, to be superfluous 
d. computer programming should be taken over by professionals 
e. programming languages should become far more complicated
