Passage 3

　　Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:��

　　The year 1400 opened with more peacefulness than usual in England. Only a few months before Richard Ⅱ weak, wicked, and treacherous had been deposed, and Henry　IV declared king in his stead. But it was only a seeming peacefulness, lasting　for but a little while; for though King Henry proved himself a just and a merciful man,as justice and mercy went with the men of iron of those days——and though he did not care to shed blood needlessly, there were many noble families who　had been benefited by King Richard during his reign, and who had lost somewhat of their power and prestige from the coming in of the new king.��

　　Among these were a number of great lords who had been degraded from their formertitles and estates, from which degradation King Richard had lifted them. They planned to fall upon King Henry and his followers and to massacre them during a g　reat tournament which was being held at Oxford. And they might have succeeded had not one of their own members betrayed them. ��

　　But Henry did not appear at the lists; whereupon, knowing that he had been lodging at Widnsor with only a few attendants, the conspirators marched there against　him. In the meantime, the king had been warned of the plot, so that instead of　finding him in the royal castle, they discovered through their scouts that he had hurried to London, and that he was marching against them at the head of a considerable army. So nothing was left but flight. One and another, they were all caught and some killed. Those few who found friends faithful and bold enough to afford them shelter dragged those friends down in their own ruin.��

　　Passage 4

　　Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:��

　　“I have considered the structure of all volant animals, and find the folding continuity of the bat’s wings most easily accommodated to the human form. Upon this model I shall begin my task tomorrow, and in a year expect to tower into the air beyond the malice or pursuit of man. But I will work only on this condition,　that the art shall not be divulged, and that you shall not require me to make wings for any but ourselves.”��

　　“Why,” said Rasselas.“should you envy others so great an advantage? All skill　ought to be exerted for universal good; every man has owed much to others, and　ought to repay the kindness that he has received.” “If men were all virtuous,” returned the artist.“I should with great alacrity teach them all to fly. But, what would be the security of the good, if the bad could at pleasure invade them from the sky? Against an army sailing through the clouds neither wall, nor mountains, nor seas, could afford any security. A flight of northern savages might　hover in the wind, and light at once with irresistible violence upon the capital of a fruitful region that was rolling under them. Even this valley, the retreat of princes, the abode of happiness, might be violated by the sudden descent of　some of the naked nations that swarm on the coast of the southern sea.”��
