Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each) Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question One of the factors contributing to the intense nature of twenty-first-century stress is our continual exposure to media – particularly to an over abundance of news. If you feel stressed out by the news, you are far from alone. Yet somehow many of us seem unable to prevent ourselves from tuning in to an extreme degree. The further back we go in human history, the longer news took to travel from place to place, and the less news we had of distant people and lands altogether. The printing press obviously changed all that, as did every subsequent development in transportation and telecommunication. When television came along, it proliferated like a population of rabbits. In 1950, there were 100, television sets in North American homes; one year later there were more then a million. Today, it’s not unusual for a home to have three or more television sets, each with cable access to perhaps over a hundred channels. News is the subject of many of those channels, and on several of them it runs 24 hours a day. What’s more, after the traumatic events of September 11, 2001, live newscasts were paired with perennial text crawls across the bottom of the screen – so that viewers could stay abreast of every story all the time. Needless to say, the news that is reported to us is not good news, but rather disturbing images and sound bytes alluding to disaster (natural and man-made), upheaval, crime, scandal, war, and the like. Compounding the problem is that when actual breaking news is scarce, most broadcasts fill in with waistline, hairline, or very existence in the future. This variety of story tends to treat with equal alarm a potentially lethal flu outbreak and the bogus claims of a wrinkle cream that over promises smooth skin. Are humans meant to be able to process so much trauma – not to mention so much overblown anticipation of potential trauma – at once? The human brain, remember, is programmed to slip into alarm mode when danger looms. Danger looms for someone, somewhere at every moment. Exposing ourselves to such input without respite and without perspective cannot be anything other than a source of chronic stress. 66. According to the passage, which of the following has contributed to the intense nature of twenty-first- century stress? A. An overabundance of special news B. The degree to which stress affects our life C. Our inability to control ourselves D. Our continual exposure to the media 67. In the past, we had less news of distant people and lands because ______. A. means of communication and transprotation were not yet invented. B. the printing press changed the situation to slowly C. printing, transportation, and telecommunications were not developed D. most people lived in distant towns and villages 68. The pronoun “ them ” in paragraph 3 refers to _________.

A. TV channels B. television sets C. TV news D. cable access

69. The word “ traumatic ” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______. A. boring B. fascinating C. upsetting D. exciting 70. According to the passage, when there is not enough actual breaking news, broadcasts _________. A. are full of dangerous diseases such as flu. B. send out live newscasts paired with text across the screen C. send out frightening stories about potential dangers D. are forced to publicize an alarming increase in crime 71. As stated in the passage, a flu outbreak and the bogus claims of a wrinkle cream tend to ________. A. involve natural and man-made disasters B. be treated with equal alarm C. be scarce breaking news D. be warmly welcomed by the public 72. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? A. The news that is reported to us is not good news. B. Many people are under stress caused by the media. C. Many TV channels supply the public with breaking news. D. The only source of stress in our modern life is the media. 73. The word “ slip ” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ______. A. release B. bring C. fail D. fall 74. According to the passage, our continual exposure to bad news without perspective is obviously ________. A. the result of human brain’s switch to alarm mode. B. a source of chronic stress. C. the result of an overabundance of good news. D. a source of defects in human brain. 75. What is probably the best title for this passage? A. Effective Ways to Beat Stress B. More Modern Life - More Stress C. The Media - A Major Cause of Stress D. Developments in Telecommunications Part 3: Questions 76 – 85 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each) Read the text and fill in one word which best fits each gap. The honey bee is a very unusual kind of insect.
