Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage
Among all the animals, the ape is most like human beings. Both people and apes have the similar brain structure, the similar nerve system, and the similar kind of blood.
There are four kinds of apes: the chimpanzee(黑猩猩), the orangutan(猩猩), the gorilla(大猩猩), and the gibbon(长臂猿). They live in the deep forests and warm tropical regions of Africa and of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia.
All apes are covered with brown, reddish-brown, or black hair everywhere on their bodies except their faces, feet, and hands. Their hands each have four fingers and a thumb that helps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumb on each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also. Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the ground very much. However, their arms are very strong. This enables them to swing from branches and travel very quickly from tree to tree.
These animals live in small family groups that move from place to place in search of vegetables and fruits. They also eat eggs, small animals, nuts, and insects. When they are tired, they build nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep there for more than a night or two. Then they move on to look for more food.
There are some differences among the following three kids of apes. The gibbon is never more than three feet high and weight only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be six feet tall and weight up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is smaller than the gorilla. It stands three to five feet tall and weight up to 200 pounds.
Chimpanzees are the smartest of all apes. They can be taught to sit at a table and eat, to dress themselves, and to do things that human children can do.

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Accompanying India's industrial transformation has been another revolution of profound significance. A property-owning middle class is not only fuelling a surge of consumption but also developing a keen desire to protect its property. Many want better governance and a legal system that protects them. And all but the very richest complain bitterly about a government that, despite strong and growing revenues, has presided over the collapse of affordable health care and education.
Farmers want change too. The past few years have seen an upsurge of peasant protests, many of them about the rapid encroachment(侵蚀) of cities into rural land. Many millions of farmers have been pushed off their fields with little, if any, compensation, and anger is growing. India needs another ownership revolution, this time in the countryside.
President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam has set his sights high. Abroad, he wants to convince the world that India's rise poses no threat to other countries. At home, he hopes to create a harmonious society. The Congress meeting late next year will be an important opportunity for him to indicate how the government can give the public a greater say in ad dressing these growing social problems. And it will be a chance to show the world that against the background of India's remarkable economic change the government is changing too.
Political reform. matters. Without it, it is hard to imagine how India could make a stable transition to democracy and an unstable India is more likely to pose a threat to the outside world.
The Bush administration is trying to persuade India that a rising India and a strong America could not only co exist but thrive together. Reassuringly, at least in its relations with America, India for now seems to be guided more by pragmatism(实用主义) than by competition. And just as reassuringly, America is encouraging it in this.
Barring a sharp slowdown in the global economy or some huge crisis at home, India is likely to maintain strong growth for the remainder of this decade. This gives its leaders more leeway(回旋余地) to sort out its banking system, deal with the land-ownership problem, fix health care and education (which will involve big changes in the country's financial system) and set up a credible social-security safety net. If it fails to do so in the next few years, it will store up potential crises for the decade beyond, when India's working-age population will begin to decline and a rapidly aging society will loom closer.
With the reform. in industry, Indian government is ______.
A.demanded by many people to improve the legal system
B.praised by many people for bringing steady growth to the national income
C.criticized by all the people for building an unsuccessful health care system
D.complained by all the people of not providing enough money for the education
