A farmer had once made a purchase of a fine fat sheep, hoping to offer it up to the Buddha. While he was leading it home, four thieves saw him and made up their minds to steal the sheep. They knew him to be an honest person and one who thought of no more harm in others than he had in himself. They dared not take the sheep away from him by force, for they were too near the city. Therefore, they thought hard and got an idea: they first parted company and then came to the man as if they had come from several distinct parts. The first thief came up to the farm and said, ―My good old man, why are you leading this dog?‖
At this moment the second thief, coming from another direction, cried to him, ― Poor old man, where have you stolen this dog?‖ And immediately after these words, the third thief came up and asked the farmer, ―Where are you going with this handsome greyhound?‖
The poor farmer began to doubt whether the sheep was a sheep or not. But the fourth robber put him quite beside himself by coming near him and asking what the dog cost him.
The farmer began to think and got the conclusion that the four men, who came from different directions, could not all be wrong. He believed that the sheep he was leading was a dog. On realizing this, the farmer went back quickly to the market to demand his money of the person who sold him the dog, leaving the dog with the four thieves. 1.The farmer _________________.

B. The four thieves knew about the farmer

Prior to modern times, Western Europe was an underdeveloped rather than a developed region. In the eleventh century China was producing
two and a half times as much iron as did England and Wales together in 1640. By the twelfth century several Chinese cities had a population equal to that of the whole contemporary England --- about 1.3 million people. When the Westerners began their attack of Constantinople in 1203, they were full of respects for those high walls, those mighty towers, those rich palaces and churches, of which there were so many that no man could believe it if he had not seen them with their own eyes.
In modern times the situation was changed, thanks in large part to the profits from overseas trade and colonies, and to the settlement in new continents. Therefore, ninety percent of the world’s total industrial output comes today from European origin. About two-thirds of the world’s people are earning about $200 per capita every year, while the remaining one-third enjoy per capita incomes as high as $2,400 in the case of the United States.
16. In the 11th century China was ___________________. A. more underdeveloped than Western Europe. B. more advanced in technology than England C. as developed as Western Europe
D. producing as much iron as Western Europe 17. Constantinople was __________________. A. a part of Western Europe B. part of China
C. quite rich and prosperous D. was a city with a population of 1.3 million
18. Europe became much more developed in modern times mainly by __________________. A. attacking Constantinople
B. making profits from foreign trade and their colonies
C. learned from the developed parts of the world and improved its technology D. having its people form the idea of working hard
19. It can NOT be concluded from the passage that ____________________. A. several Chinese cities altogether had a total population of 1.3 million B. westerners admired Constantinople for its marvelous buildings C. Constantinople was much more developed than the invaders’ hometown D. Americans have much higher salaries than two-thirds of the world’s people 20. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Four-fifths of the world’s products come from Europe. B. Ninety percent of the world’s industrial output is from Europe C. Europe began to develop when they attacked Constantinople D. Westerners set up colonies after they became rich Passage 3
The body of an animal may well be compared with some machine like a locomotive engine. Indeed, the animal body is a machine. It is a machine composed of many parts doing some particular kind of work for which a particular kind of structure fits it. All the parts are dependent on each other and work together for the accomplishment of the total business of the machine. The locomotive must be provided with fuel, such as coal or wood or other combustible substance, the consumption of which provides the force or energy of the machine. The animal body must be provided wit fuel, which is called food, which similarly provides the energy of the animal. Oxygen must be provided for the combustion of the fuel in the locomotive and of the food in the body. The locomotive is composed of special parts: the fire box for the storage and combustion of fuel; the steam pipes for the carriage of steam; the wheels for locomotion; the chimney for throwing off waste. The animal body is similarly composed of such parts as the stomach for the storage and digestion of food, the organs for the throwing off of waste water, the blood vessels for the carriage of oxygen and food-holding blood, the legs or wings for locomotion. 21. The body of an animal is like a locomotive in that ___________________. A. it is composed of many parts that work just like different parts of a locomotive B. it can do some particular kind of work C. it works like all the machines in the world
D. both the animal and the locomotive need coal or wood as their fuel 22. Every part of the animal body __________________. A. works independently B. works dependently on each other
C. looks like the same as that of a machine D. has the same structure as that a machine 23. The energy of an animal is provided by ____________________. A. throwing off waste B. the combustion of fuels such as coal or wood
