Ever since Nobel prize-winner Linus Pauling first advocated vitamin C as a common-cold war weapon more than 20 years ago, researchers have been busy trying to verify that claim. But so far, they've found little evidence that vitamin C prevents colds - in fact, there are more studies that say it doesn't. But there is evidence that it can keep coughing and sneezing to a minimum, and that low levels of vitamin C in the body may be related to bronchitis.

1. 
   has greatly improved the treatment of bronchitis
   
2. 
   has caused a revolution in medical studies
   
3. 
   aroused very little interest among medical experts
   
4. 
   was based on the results of years of research
   
5. 
   has not been verified scientifically
   

84. According to the passage, coughing and sneezing _____ .

1. 
   should be taken seriously and treated accordingly
   
2. 
   are the early symptoms of bronchitis
   
3. 
   are now being effectively treated without vitamin C
   
4. 
   can be reduced with the help of vitamin C
   
5. 
   do not respond to any treatment whatsoever
   

85. During the last two decades there has been a great deal of scientific effort made to _____

1. 
   convince the public of the dangers of vitamin C
   
2. 
   prove that the common cold can be prevented by vitamin C
   
3. 
   establish a connection between coughing and bronchitis

Since early times it has been assumed that the actions of animals are unconscious. Behaviour, in this view, stems almost exclusively from instinct. If animals behave in ways that seem pretty clever, they do so without thinking about it. Animals may know things, the argument goes, but they don't know that they know. Or do they know? Recent research reports suggest a startling depth of intelligence among animals. Although no one can yet 'prove' the existence of animal consciousness, the data offered make a compelling case for at least considering it.

85. It is pointed out in the passage that traditionally, animals are believed to _____

1. 
   behave not instinctively but logical
   
2. 
   have an intelligence comparable with man’s
   
3. 
   imitate man in many ways
   
4. 
   act on instinct
   
5. 
   know exactly what they are doing
   

87. It is pointed out in the passage that modern research forces one to consider _____

1. 
   why animals behave differently under different circumstances
   
2. 
   the possibility of intelligence in animals
   
3. 
   the means by which animal behaviour can be improved
   
4. 
   how animals can be made to acquire new skills
   
5. 
   animals to be the equal of man in intelligence
   

88. The passage makes it quite clear that, in the light of modern research, our traditional assumptions about animal behaviour _____

1. 
   have been totally disproved
   
2. 
   have been confirmed
   
3. 
   have to be reconsidered
   
4. 
   were indeed based on scientific fact
   
5. 
   should never have been questioned

The first universities developed in Europe in the 12th century. By 1600 Western Europe boasted 108 institutions of higher learning, many of which had obtained special privileges from existing regimes because of their close association with the Church. In most European countries, universities were designed primarily for the sons of nobility and gentry. Scholarly standards were low, and scholarship was irrelevant for most professions.

The effects of sleep loss are subject to a number of popular misconceptions. The belief that everyone must sleep 8 hours a night is a myth.

Until recently, many archeologists took the view that civilized communities first arose in Egypt, though only a very short time before a similar development In Mesopotamia: a more recent opinion is now that the earliest advances may have taken place in Mesopotamia. Whichever view is followed, it is necessary to bear in mind that geographical conditions in both regions were not identical, and it can in fact be stated that in Mesopotamia environmental factors were not as wholly favourable as In the valley of the Nile.

Dates and periods are necessary to the study and discussion of history, for all historical phenomena are conditioned by time and are produced by the sequence of events. Periods especially, are retrospective conceptions that we form about past events; they are useful to focus discussion, but very often they lead historical thought astray. Thus, while it is certainly useful to speak of the Middle Ages and of the Victorian Age, those two abstract ideas have deluded many scholars and millions of newspaper readers into supposing that during certain decades called the Middle Ages, and again during certain decades called Age of Victoria, everyone thought or acted more or less in the same way- till at last Victoria died or the Middle Ages came to an end. But in fact there was no such sameness.

98. The author argues that, contrary to common assumption, the behaviour of people _____ .

1. 
   was more uniform in the Middle Ages than in the Victorian Age
   
2. 
   was not uniform, at all, in any given period
   
3. 
   is a subject that should also be studied by historians
   
4. 
   in any given period is always the same
   
5. 
   is unrelated to the age they live in
   

99. The division of history into periods _____

1. 
   is both useful and deceptive
   
2. 
   is avoided by modern historians
   
3. 
   was rejected in the Victorian Age
   
4. 
   has been in use since the Middle Ages
   
5. 
   serves no useful purpose at all

1. 
   began in the Middle Ages and reached its height in the Victorian Age
   
2.

3. 
   requires a knowledge of dates and periods
