Passage Three
　　One winter evening Mr. Blake was driving in his car along an isolated country road. He had been to New York, in which he had withdrawn 10,000 dollars from the bank.
　　He was then going back home with the money, which he had put in his pocket. At the loneliest part of the road a middle-aged man in poor clothes stopped him and asked for a lift. Mr. Blake told him to get into the car and continued on his way. As he talked to the man he learned that he had been in prison for robbery and had escaped out of prison three days ago. Mr. Blake was very worried at the thought of the 10,000 dollars in his pocket.
　　Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a clever idea. He had just reached a small town where the speed limit was 40 miles an hour. He pressed down the accelerator and drove the car as fast as it would go. He looked back and saw the police-car had seen this and had begun to chase him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook him and ordered him to stop.

　　33.Who was the middle-aged man?
　　34.How fast could a car drive in the small town mentioned?
　　35.Why did Mr. Blake drive his car as fast as it could go?
　　Section C
　　Today, students who want to learn English in the U.S. have a wide choice of courses and institutions to choose from. And, because the U.S. is such a big country, they also have a huge (36) variety of locations in which to study. The U.S. has a long (37) tradition of teaching English because, (38) throughout its history, the country has welcomed immigrants from all over the world, most of whom have needed to (39) learn English. Today, the English language teaching sector in the U.S. is well (40)developed and its teachers are highly(41)qualified and experienced.
　　American universities and colleges welcome many thousands of(42)overseas students each year, who(43) enroll on degree or postgraduate courses. Most of these institutions provide preparation courses for students(44) who need to improve their English before they start university study. These courses are called Intensive English Language Programs and(45) they are the most common type of course taken by overseas students.
　　In addition to language tuition, Intensive English Language Programs give students (46) the chance to get to know the school where they will be studying, and become more familiar with the American academic environment.
