[02:45.75]In the United State

[02:47.50]the heads of colleges and universities and of many business corporations

[02:52.46]etc. are often given the title.

[02:55.49]Most important of all

[02:57.01]it is the title of the head of the Federal Government.

[03:00.24]The president's powers and duties are laid down by the Constitution

[03:04.42]it states that the president should be elected for a term of four years

[03:09.10]and that no president can hold office for more than two consecutive 3 terms.

[03:13.85]The president is also Commander-in-Chief of the armed force.

[03:18.37]The relative power of president and Congress varies

[03:21.87]and depends partly on the prseident himself

[03:24.83]on the whole the president has become more important during the present centure

[03:29.87]but the system of CHECK AND BALANCES provides a continuous struggle between president and Congress.

[03:37.89]11. What persons below are seldom given the title "President" in the United States?

[03:45.04]12.According to the passage,how long can a president hold office consecutively 4 at most?

[03:52.57]13. What can we infer from the passage?

[03:56.36]Passage Two

[03:57.90]Elephants are perhaps the only animals that are hunted for their teeth.

[04:02.16]Elephants' tusks 5, or very large teeth growing ones

[04:06.02]on either side of their mouths are composed of a valuable material called ivory.

[04:11.27]An elephant uses its long

[04:13.26]pointed tusks as tools for digging in the ground for foot

[04:17.15]He also uses them as weapons in combat.

[04:20.31]the tusks of male elephants are usually large and heavy.

[04:24.31]In Africa,female elephants have long,light tusks

[04:28.51]In India and other parts of Southern Asia

[04:31.44]female elephants have small,short tusks or none at all.

[04:35.38]Tusks in good condition are in great demand

[04:38.00]and may sell for as high as two thousand dollars or more.

[04:41.21]Because of this,large numbers of elephants have been killed.

[04:45.15]Some countries have initiated 6 methods of trying to protect elephants

[04:49.49]These have established elephant preserves

[04:52.15]or areas of land set aside for herds 7 of elephants where no one is allowed to harm them.

[04:58.14]Elephants on the preserves are safe from ivory hunters.

[05:02.11]14. Which of the following is not true?

[05:16.79]A cormorant 8 is a large waterfowl that looks somewhat like a seagull

[05:21.72]and has a long beak 9 with a pouch 10

[05:24.15]or sack, on its underside.

[05:26.32]The birds are often used for fishing in China and Japan.

[05:30.50]In order to fish with cormorant

[05:32.98]the fisherman goes out at night in a small boat.

[05:36.14]He must carry with him a bright light.

[05:38.60]He must also take with him a number of cormorant

[05:42.05]each with a cord around its body and a loose metal ring around its neck.

[05:46.88]The fisherman first puts the birds in the water

[05:50.25]making sure to keep the strings 11 in his hand.

[05:53.28]At once the cormorants 12 begin looking for fish.

[05:56.94]When a cormorant catches a fish, the bird tries to swallow it.

[06:01.09]However,the metal ring around its neck prevents this.

[06:05.01]Because he cannot swallow the fish he catches

[06:08.22]the cormorant stores them in the sack under its beach.

[06:11.57]When the sacks are full,the fisherman pulls in his birds.

[06:15.98]Opening their beaks,he reaches into the sacks and pulls out the fish.
