One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and
prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C . Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction makes
it one of the truly wonders of the world. The thirteen- acre structure near the Nile river is a solid mass of stone blocks
covered with limestone. Inside are the number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber of the Pharaoh. It is the
largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and
west-an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshippers and great astronomers, so computations
for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further
scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events past, present and future. . Many of the events
have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and

the following questions .
Baseball evolved from a number of different ball-and stick games (paddle ball, trap ball, one-old-cat, rounders,
and town ball) originating in England. As early as the American Revolution. It was noted that troops played baseball in
their free time. In 1845 Alexander Cartwright formalized the New York Knickerbockers version of the game: a diamond
shaped infield, with bases ninety feet apart, three strikers youre out , batter out on a caught ball , three outs per
inning , a nine man team. The New York Game spread rapidly , replacing earlier localized forms. From its beginnings,
baseball was seen as a way of satisfying the recreational needs of an increasingly urban industrial society. At its
inception it was it was played by and for gentlemen. A club might consists of 40 members. The president would appoint
two captains who would choose teams from among the members. Games were played on Monday and Thursday
afternoons, with the losers often providing a lavish evenings entertainments for the winners
During the 1850- 70 period the game was changing, however, with increasing commercialism (charging
admission), under the table payments to exceptional to players, and gambling on the outcome of games. By 1868 it
was said that a club would have their regular professional ten, an amateur first - nine , and their muffins (the gently
duffers who once ran the game) . Beginning with the first openly all salaried team (Cincinnatis Red Stocking Club) in
1869, the 1870- 1890 period saw the complete professionalization of baseball, including formation of the National
Association of Professional baseball players in 1871. The National League of Professional Baseball Clubs was formed in
1876, run by business-minded invertors in joint-stock company clubs. The 1880s has been called Major League Baseballs
Golden Age. Profits soared, players salaries rose somewhat, a season of 84 games became one of 132, a weekly
periodical The sporting News came into being, wooden stadiums with double-deck stands replaced open fields, and the
standard refreshment became hot dogs, soda pop and peanuts. In 1900 the Western League based in the growing cities of
the Mid-west proclaimed itself the American League.

COULD COMPUTER GAMES BE GOOD FOR YOU AFTER ALL
In Britain, the average young person now spends more money on games each year than on going to the
cinema or renting videos. But is this 31 necessarily a bad thing? For years, newspaper reports have been 32
saying that children who spend too much time playing computer games become unsociable, bad- tempered,
even violent as a 33 result. But new research, 34 carried out in both Europe and the USA, suggests that the
opposite may be true.
Indeed, playing some of the more complicated games may help people of all ages to improve certain skills.
Researchers claim that this is because the games 35 make the brain work harder in certain ways, like 36
noticing sounds and movements quickly and identifying what they are. The fact that people play the games
repeatedly 37 means that they get a lot of practice in these skills which are therefore likely to become highly
developed.
Social skills may benefit, too. Researchers in Chicago think that fans of first- person shooter games (38 such as)
Counterstrike are better than non-players when it comes to building trust and co-operation, and that this (39
helps )them to make good friendships and become strong members of their communities. So rather than (40
giving) up computer games, perhaps young people need to spend more time on them?

answer to each of the questions from 41 to 50
A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker.
The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting (truyn t) information by use
of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through
performance. A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant
or unpleasant, gentle or harsh (chua, chi), by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by
speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the
utterance. When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm.
At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie
them. Here the participants tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive (trc gic) sympathy or
antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are .usually
discernible (nhn r) by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly
specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The motivation derived from
the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability
to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic (s phm) communication.
Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health.
Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or
exuberant (ci m), to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask
7
of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front. How a speaker perceives the
listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can drastically (mnh m) alter the tone
of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free
and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted (hp hi) and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and
lethargic (th ) qualities of the depressed.

answer to each of the questions from 56 - 64
Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects - an estimated 90 percent of the world's
species have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining
patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general
public. Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation issues
such as diversity.
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is the striking
difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he
mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on the
British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321. This early comparison of
tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.

A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and
tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal and
plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or tropical regions, rather
man between them, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin,
tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other
words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation
phase.
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are
made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about the
evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples because
they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and
incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.

In the United States, presidential elections are held in years evenly divisible by four (1888, 1900,
1964, etc.). Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending with zero have died in office, with
one exception. William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia only
several weeks after his inauguration.
Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860,
and his untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from
Ohio, was shot during his first year in office (1881) by a man to whom he wouldn't give a job. While in
his second term of office (1901), William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan-American
Exposition in Buffalo, New York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with
some of the guests. John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his
election.
Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G, Harding died in office. Although it was never
proved, many believe he was poisoned. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times (1932, 1936, 1940
and 1944), the only man to serve so long a term. He had contracted polio in 1921 and eventually died of
the illness in 1945.
Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980 and reelected four years later, suffered an assassination
attempt but did not succumb to the assassin's bullets. He was the first to break the long chain of

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he
foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of
dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to
people who had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature,
physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first
awards ceremony.
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for
the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated
diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges'
decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War 11. Some people have
won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.

V. Reading comprehension:
1. Read the passage and choose the best answer:
The planet Earth is 4,600 million years old. It is difficult for us to think about such an enormous
length of time because it has little meaning for us. We can, however, simplify the idea to make it more
understandable. We can compare the planet Earth to a person of forty six years of age.
Nothing is known about the first seven years of this persons life. Very little information exists
about the middle period either. It was only at the age of forty two that the Earth began to flower.
Dinosaurs and great reptiles did not appear until one year ago, when the planet was forty five. Mammals
only arrived eight months ago. In the middle of last week, man like apes became ape like men and
began to communicate with each other. Last weekend, the Ice Age covered the Earth.
Modern man has only been around for four hours. During the last hour man discovered
agriculture. The industrial Revolution and the rise of large cities began just six seconds ago. During the
short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth. In one minute, he has increased his numbers
to terrible proportions, and has caused the death of hundreds of species of animals. He has robbed and
destroyed the planet in his search for fuels. Now he stands, like a violent, spoilt child, delighted at the
speed of his rise to power, on the edge of the final mass destruction and of killing all the life which
exists in the solar system.
61. The passage tells us that
A. A great deal is known about how the Earth was created.
B. life on Earth began relatively recently.
C. more is kown about the first part of the Earths life than the middle part.
D. scientists are wellinformed about the middle part of the Earths life.

A. the dinosaurs appeared during the middle period
B. mammals and great reptiles both appeared at the same time
C. there were more than forty five kinds of great reptiles
D. ape -like man appeared before the last Ice Age.

A. the time when man first evolved from apes.
C. the effects of farming.
B. what has happened since the Industrial Revolution D. the period before the last Ice Earth
64. It would appear that the main danger ahead is that
A. man will destroy everything on earth
C. there will be a population explosion
B. man will use up all the fuels
D. more species of animal may die out

B. he has been the most successful animal
D. he has learnt a lot from past mistakes
2. Read the passage and choose the best answer:
Most people think of deserts as dry, flat areas with little or no rainfall, but this is hardly true.
Many deserts have varied geographical formations ranging from soft, rolling hills to stark, jagged cliffs,
and most deserts have a permanent source of water. Although deserts do not receive a high amount of
rainfall to be classified as a desert, an area must get less than twenty five centimeters of rainfall per
year there are many plants that thrive on only small amounts of water, and deserts are often full of
such plant life.
Desert plants have a variety of mechanisms for obtaining the water needed for survival. Some
plants, such as cactus, are able to store large amounts of water in their leaves or stems; after a rainfall
these plants absorb a large supply of water to last until the next rainfall. Other plants, such as the
mesquite, have extraordinarily deep root systems that allow them to obtain water from far below the
deserts arid surface.

answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70.
In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a
greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there are a number of readily available,
renewable resources that are both cost- effective and earth friendly. Two such resources are solar power and
geothermal power. Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the
needs of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use
of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. In the US alone, more than 100, 000 homes are
equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of the
world, including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily.
Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal
power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth. Hot water and steam that are
trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which is produces
electricity. Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel
resources. And as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple. A prime
example of effective geothermal use is in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity where over 80 percent of
private homes are heated by geothermal power. Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising
renewable alternatives to conventional energy sources. The time is long overdue to invest in the development
and use of alternative energy on global scale.
Question 61. What is the main topic of this passage ?
A. The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources.
B. How energy resources are tapped from nature.
C. Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized.
D. Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide.
Question 62. According to the passage, why should we consider using alternative energy sources ?
A. Because fossil fuels are no longer available.
B. Because global warming has increased the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth.
C. Because they are free and available worldwide.
D. Because conventional energy resources are being depleted, and they cause environmental damage.
Question 63. Which of the following words could best replace the word harnessing
A. Capturing
B. Harassing
C. Depleting
D. Exporting
Question 64. According to the passage, what can be inferred about solar roof tiles?
A. They are being used in many undeveloped countries. C. They are more expensive than solar panels.
B. They can convert geothermal energy to electricity. D. They contain photovoltaic cells.
Question 65. According to the passage, how is solar energy production similar to geothermal energy production
?
A. They both require the use of a generator.
B. They both use heat from the earths surface.
C. They both require fairly simple technology.
D. They are both conventional and costly.
Question 66. Where is the best place in the passage to insert the following sentence:

Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit by being flat and hugging the contours. There are two very
different types of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways. The skates and rays, relatives of the
sharks, have become flat in what might be called the obvious way. Their bodies have grown out sideways to
form great wings. They look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical and the
right way up. Conversely, fish such as plaice, sole, and halibut have become flat in a different way. There are
bony fish which have a marked tendency to be flattened in a vertical direction; they are much taller than they
are wide. They use their whole, vertically flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate through the
water as they move. Therefore, when their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side than on their
bellies- However, this raises the problem that one eye was always looking down into the sand and was
effectively useless In evolution this problem was solved by the lower eye moving around the other side. We
see this process of moving around enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish. It starts life
swimming near the surface, and is symmetrical and vertically flattened , but then the skull starts to grow in a
strange asymmetrical twisted fashion, so that one eye, for instance the left, moves over the top of the head
upwards, an old Picasso- like vision. Incidentally, some species of 20 flatfish settle on the right side, others on
the left, and others on either side.

A. have one eye each side of the head
B. have one eye underneath the head

In the United States, presidential elections are held in years evenly divisible by four (1888, 1900,
1964, etc.). Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending with zero have died in office, with
one exception. William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia only
several weeks after his inauguration.
Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860,
and his untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from
Ohio, was shot during his first year in office (1881) by a man to whom he wouldn't give a job. While in
his second term of office (1901), William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan-American
Exposition in Buffalo, New York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with
some of the guests. John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his
election.
Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G, Harding died in office. Although it was never
proved, many believe he was poisoned. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times (1932, 1936, 1940
and 1944), the only man to serve so long a term. He had contracted polio in 1921 and eventually died of
the illness in 1945.
Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980 and reelected four years later, suffered an assassination
attempt but did not succumb to the assassin's bullets. He was the first to break the long chain of
unfortunate events. Will the candidate in the election of 2020 also be as lucky?

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he
foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of
30
dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to
people who had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature,
physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first
awards ceremony.
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for
the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated
diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges'
decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War 11. Some people have
won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.

Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes
sensitive to a substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk,
33

20
wheat, and egg, for example, rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these
foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual
is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance. After a varying interval of time,
usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to
develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show up so
many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may
have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The
most common food allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges,
and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant
until her or his intestines mature at around seven months. Breast milk also tends to be
protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenathylamine,
monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are chocolate,
aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas,
cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!). Some people have been
successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and
niacin. Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially
colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets. A few of these are almonds, green
peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who has
written the book Why your Child is Hyperactive. Other researchers have had mixed results
when testing whether the diet is effective.

Line
Situated in the central mountains of Alaska, a peak named Denali rises 20,320 feet above
sea level. It is the highest peak in North America and the center of Denali National Park. One
of America's greatest wilderness areas, the park has had limited access to visitors, but in spite
of this tourism rose from under 6,000 visitors in 1950 to over 546,000 visitors in 1990. The
5
increasing popularity of this park is prompting serious discussions about the future use of
Denali as well as how to preserve wilderness areas in general. One important issue of land use
arises when parts of National Parks are owned by individuals. In Denali, though most of the
land in this vast tract of more than a million acres is owned by the National Park Service,
several thousand acres are still privately owned as mining tracts. These mining tracts in Denali
10 were once abundant sources of gold, but they were sources of heavy metals such as arsenic
and lead that pollute drivers and streams. Environmentalists were successful in getting the
government to require mining companies to submit statements showing the potential impact
of a mining project before they are allowed to begin mining. Because of this requirement,
many individuals closed their mines and some sold their land to the National Park Service.
15 Some land owners, however, are wondering if it is better to sell their land to the government
or keep it for possible future use. Tourism in this previously remote area is bound to rise, as
more roads are built to provide easier access to the park. This increase in the number of
visitors creates a demand for hotels and other real estate development. The economic
implications of this are of interest to the land owners, but are dismaying to those interested in
preserving the wilderness.

answer to each of the questions
MOBILE PHONES: Are they about to transform our lives?
We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow, yet we are increasingly concerned
that we cannot escape their electronic reach. We use them to convey our most intimate secrets, yet we worry
that they are a threat to our privacy. We rely on them more than the Internet to cope with modern life, yet many
of us dont believe advertisements saying we need more advanced services.
Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third generations phones and fears
over the health effects of phone masts, a recent report claims that the long-term effects of new mobile
technologies will be entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use of them. Research
about users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond being a mere practical
communications tool to become the backbone of modern social life, from love affairs to friendship to work.
The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers, the report says, who
regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity. This is partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond
the control of parents. But the researchers suggest that another reason may be that mobiles, especially text
messaging was seen as a way of overcoming shyness. The impact of phones, however, has been local rather
than global, supporting existing friendship and networks, rather than opening users to a new broader
community. Even the language of texting in one area can be incomprehensible to anybody from another area.
Among the most important benefits of using mobiles phones, the report claims, will be a vastly improved
mobile infrastructure, providing gains throughout the economy, and the provision of a more sophisticated
location-based services for users. The report calls on government to put more effort into the delivery of services
by mobile phone, with suggestion including public transport and traffic information and doctors text messages
to remind patients of appointments. There are many possibilities. At a recent trade fair in Sweden, a mobile
navigation product was launched. When the user enters a destination, a route is automatically downloaded to
their mobile and presented by voices, pictures and maps as they drive. In future, these devices will also be able
to plan around congestion and road works in real time. Third generation phones will also allow for remote
monitoring of patients by doctors. In Britain scientists are developing an asthma management solution using
mobiles to detect early signs of an attack.
Mobile phones can be used in education. A group of teachers in Britain use third generation phones to
provide fast internet service to children who live beyond the reach of terrestrial broadband services and can
42
have no access to online information. As the new generation of mobile technologies takes off, the social
potential of the vastly increase, the report argues.
Question 46: What does the writer suggest in the first paragraph about our attitudes to mobile phones
A. We cant live without them.
B. We are worried about using them so much.
C. We have contradictory feelings about them.
D. We need them more than anything else to deal with modern life.
Question 47: What does them in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. long-term effects B. new mobile technologies
C. doubts D. benefits
Question 48:
What is the connection between social life and mobile phones?
A. Modern social life relies significantly on the use of mobile phones
B. Mobile phones makes romantic communication easier
C. Mobile phones encourage people to make friends.
D. Mobile phones enable people to communicate while moving around
Question 49:
Why do teenagers have such a close relationship with their mobile phones?
A. They use text messages more than any other group
B. They are more inclined to be late than older people
C. They feel independent when they use them
D. They tend to feel uncomfortable in many situations

answer to each of the questions
Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a childs upbringing can give it the ability to do
outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a
person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be developed. The
truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a childs ability
to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities. As one
psychologist says, To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel. Scientists have recently
assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly after
birth and brought up by different parents. They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later
influenced by the childs environment.
One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and
performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every
possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence
as the other, performed even better.
This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the environment, the
more a childs intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link between intelligence and
socioeconomic level of a childs family. In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as
this does not affect the intelligence.
Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One professor of
music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often
because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years hard work and
training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining.
People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
+ Marry an intelligent person.
+ Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
+ Start a childs education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.
+ Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instrument is essential for a child who wants to
become an outstanding musician.
Question 61: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that ______.
A. different twins generally have different levels of ability
B. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement
C. intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability
D. ability depends both on intelligence and environment

Question 62: Scientists chose twins for their study because ______.
A. they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence
B. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing
C. they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities
D. each twin has the same environment as his/ her twin
Question 63: How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development?
A. They practice playing their instruments for many years
B. They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic
C. They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas
D. Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured .
Question 64: The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow ______.
A. only their interests in computer games

Read the passages and the questions. Then choose A, B, C, or D that you think fits best
The modern comic strip started out as ammunition in a newspaper war between giants of the American
press in the late nineteenth century. The first full-color comic strip appeared January 1894 in the New York
World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer. The first regular weekly full-color comic supplement, similar to todays
49
Sunday funnies, appeared two years later, in William Randolph Hearsts rival New York paper, the Morning
Journal.
Both were immensely popular and publishers realized that supplementing the news with comic relief
boosted the sale of papers. The Morning Journal started another feature in 1896, the Yellow Kid, the first
continuous comic character in the United States, whose creator, Richard Outcault, had been lured away from
the World by the ambitious Hearst. The Yellow Kid was in many ways a pioneer. Its comic dialogue was the
strictly urban farce that came to characterize later strips, and it introduced the speech balloon inside the strip,
usually placed above the characters heads.
The first strip to incorporate all the elements of later comics was Rudolph Dirkss Katzenjammer
Kids, based on Wilhelm Buschs Max and Moritz, a European satire of the nineteenth century. The Kids
strip, first published in 1897, served as the prototype for future American strips. It contained not only speech
balloons, but a continuous cast of characters, and was divided into small regular panels that did away with the
larger panoramic scenes of earlier comics.
Newspaper syndication played a major role in spreading the popularity of comic strips throughout the
country. Though weekly colored comics came first, daily black-and-white strips were not far behind. The first
appeared in the Chicago American in 1904. It was followed by many imitators, and by 1915 black-and-white
comic strips had become a staple of daily newspapers around the country.
41. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. A comparison of two popular comic strips.
B. The differences between early and modern comic strips.
C. The effects of newspapers on comic strip stories.
D. Features of early comic strips in the United States.
42. Why does the author mention Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst?
A. They established New Yorks first newspaper.
B. They published comic strips about the newspaper war.
C. Their comic strips are still published today.
D. They owned major competitive newspapers.
43. The passage suggests that comic strips were popular for which of the following reasons?
A. They provided a break from serious news stories.
B. Readers enjoyed the unusual drawings.
50
C. Readers could identify with the characters.

D. They were about real-life situations.
44. To say that Richard Outcault had been lured away from the World by Hearst means which of the
following?
A. Hearst convinced Outcault to leave the World.
B. Hearst fired Outcault from the World.

Read the passages and the questions. Then choose A, B, C, or D that you think fits best
The modern comic strip started out as ammunition in a newspaper war between giants of the American
press in the late nineteenth century. The first full-color comic strip appeared January 1894 in the New York
World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer. The first regular weekly full-color comic supplement, similar to todays
Sunday funnies, appeared two years later, in William Randolph Hearsts rival New York paper, the Morning
Journal.
Both were immensely popular and publishers realized that supplementing the news with comic relief
boosted the sale of papers. The Morning Journal started another feature in 1896, the Yellow Kid, the first
continuous comic character in the United States, whose creator, Richard Outcault, had been lured away from
the World by the ambitious Hearst. The Yellow Kid was in many ways a pioneer. Its comic dialogue was the
strictly urban farce that came to characterize later strips, and it introduced the speech balloon inside the strip,
usually placed above the characters heads.
57
The first strip to incorporate all the elements of later comics was Rudolph Dirkss Katzenjammer
Kids, based on Wilhelm Buschs Max and Moritz, a European satire of the nineteenth century. The Kids
strip, first published in 1897, served as the prototype for future American strips. It contained not only speech
balloons, but a continuous cast of characters, and was divided into small regular panels that did away with the
larger panoramic scenes of earlier comics.
Newspaper syndication played a major role in spreading the popularity of comic strips throughout the
country. Though weekly colored comics came first, daily black-and-white strips were not far behind. The first
appeared in the Chicago American in 1904. It was followed by many imitators, and by 1915 black-and-white
comic strips had become a staple of daily newspapers around the country.

PART VI: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 56 to 60.
Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees homes and offices. For
employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the
location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the
work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a distant site and transmit the material to their
employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. But
although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when
Business Week published "The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn't
telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many
managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the
country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the manager's responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the
opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will
not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people
feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the
office.
Question 56: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuters EXCEPT_____ .
A. the lack of interaction with a group
B. the different system of supervision
C. the fact that the work space is in the home D. the opportunities for advancement
Question 57: How many American workers are involved in telecommuting?
A. More than 8 million
B. More than predicted in Business Week
C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today
D. Fewer than last year
Question 58: It can be inferred from the passage that the author is _______.
A. the manager of a group of telecommuters
B. a reporter
C. a telecommuter
D. a statistician
Question 59: The word "resistance" could best be replaced by_______.
A. participation
B. consideration
C. opposition
D. alteration
Question 60: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. A definition of telecommuting
B. The advantages of telecommuting
C. An overview of telecommuting
D. The failure of telecommuting
PART VII: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain
a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a
little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused egg sales to
plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating
regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look
somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they
can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching,
or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called 'designer' eggs. These
eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice
bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as
regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in
humans.
67
Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up
their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought
mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person
who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people.
In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol.
Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing
this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.
Question 61: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
D. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.
Question 62: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?
A. minerals
B. cholesterol
C. canola oil
D. vitamins
Question 63: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?
A. in fact
B. a little
C. indefinitely
D. a lot
Question 64: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. increasing price
B. decreased production
C. dietary changes in hens
D. concerns about cholesterol
Question 65: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested
daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 3/4
B. 2/3
C. 1/2
D. 1/3
Question 66: The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. studied
B. destroyed
C. tested
D. described

Television has changed the lifestyle of people in every industrialized country in the world. In the United
States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.
TV, although not essential, has become a(n) (16)_ integral_ part of most peoples lives. It has become a
baby- sitter, an initiator of conversations, a major transmitter of culture, and a keeper of traditions. Yet when
what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that TV is not a teacher but a
sustainer (ngi nng ). The poor (17)__ quality_ of programs does not elevate people into greater (18)_
understanding_, but rather maintains and encourages the status.
The (19)_ primary_ reason for the lack of quality in American TV is related to both the history of TV
programming development and the economics of TV. TV in American began with the radio. Radio companies
and their sponsors first experimented with TV. (20)___ Therefore_, the close relationship, which the advertisers
had with radio programs become the system for American TV. Sponsors not only pay money for time within
programs, but many actually produced the programs. Thus, (21)__ coming_ from the capitalistic, profitoriented sector of American society, TV is primarily (22)_ concerned_ with reflecting and attracting society
(23)_ rather_ than innovating and experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing
audience possible; to do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than challenging.
TV in America today remains, to a large (24)_ extent_, with the same organization and standards as it
had thirty years ago. The hope for some evolution and true achievement toward improving society will (25)_
require_ a change in the entire system.

Water scarcity is fast becoming one of the major limiting factors in world crop production. In many areas, poor
agricultural practices have led to increasing desertification and the loss of formerly arable lands. Consequently,
those plant species that are well adapted to survival in dry climates are being looked at for an answer in
developing more efficient crops to grow on marginally arable lands.(c th trng trt)
Plants use several mechanisms to ensure their survival in desert environments. Some involve purely
mechanical and physical adaptations, such as the shape of the plant's surface, smaller leaf size, and extensive
(m rng) root systems. Some of the adaptations are related to chemical mechanisms. Many plants, such as
cacti, have internal gums and mucilage (dch nhy) which give them water-retaining properties. Another
chemical mechanism is that of the epicuticular wax layer (lp m, sng ngoi). This wax layer acts as an
impervious (tr, khng thm) cover to protect the plant. It prevents excessive loss of internal moisture. It also
protects the plant from external aggression, which can come from inorganic agents such as gases, or organic
agents which include bacteria and plant pests.
Researchers have proposed that synthetic waxes (sp tng hp) with similar protective abilities could be
prepared based on knowledge of desert plants. If successfully developed, such a compound could be used to
greatly increase a plant's ability to maintain health in such adverse situations as inadequate water supply, limited
fertilizer availability, attack by pests, and poor storage after harvesting.

A. spongy
B. shallow
C. widespread
D. comprehensive
Question 55: Which is one of the ways in which the epicuticular wax protects the plant?
A. It helps the plant to avoid excessive moisture intake B. It helps the plant to attack aggressors.

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of
women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to
vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. Anne
Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best
contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned (vit, sng tc) important letters
showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United
States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained
invisible in history books.
Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors
writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their
writings were celebratory (ca ngi)in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources.
During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping
records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local womens organizations
compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved
and stored. These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of womens history in the United States
one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith
Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians.
Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth Century, most of
the writing about women conformed to the great women theory of History, just as much of mainstream
American history concentrated on great men. To demonstrate that women were making significant
contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else
important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as
reformers, activists working for womens right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great
of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories
being published.
Question 71: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The role of literature in early American histories B. The place of American women in written histories
C. The keen sense of history shown by American women
D. The great women approach to history used by American historians

A. a womans status was changed by marriage
B. even the contributions of outstanding women were ignored

D. poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women

to say, and acting so that they are not embarrassed in any way. For example, we may understand that they are in

indicate feelings, and interviewers often pay particular attention to the way a candidate for a job walks into the
room and sits down. However it is not difficult to present the right kind of appearance, while what many
employers want to know relates to the candidates character traits, and (6)____ stability. This raises the
awkward question of whether job candidates should be asked to complete psychological tests, and the further
problem of whether such tests actually produce (7)____ results. For many people, being asked to take part in
such a test would be an objectionable (8)____ into their private lives.
After all, a prospective employer would hardly ask a candidate to run a hundred meters, or expect his or

answer to each of the questions from number 41 to 50
Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial
problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare. And since mans
inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that
many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop.
Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its
desiccating effects. No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found. The
giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it
holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is largely
nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having adapted to their
austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word.
The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if,
like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So
most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt
only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the
temperature is only 60 degrees.

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all
the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between
the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to
make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to do
without being taught to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle compare their own performances with those
of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to
find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he
would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he
becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he
wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing
this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let
him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to
help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Lets end all this nonsense of
grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must
someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if
they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of ones
life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, But
suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world? Dont worry! If
it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

Read the following passage and choose the right answer to each of the questions.
Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over
conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods- a term
whose meaning varies greatly- frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a
welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the foods
supply is unsafe or inadequate in the meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported
79
by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the
general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of
organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely
publicized and formed the basic for folklore.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for no-aging diets, new vitamins, and other wonder
foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that
fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated
grains, and the like.
One thing that most organically grown foods products seem to have in common is that they cost more
than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe foods. So there is real
cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and
buy expensive organic foods instead.
Question 76 The welcome development mentioned in paragraph 2 is an increase in
A. interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans.
B. the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet.
C. the amount of healthy foods grown in North America.
D. the number of consumers in North America.
Question 77. According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term organic foods?
A. It is accepted by most nutritionists.
B. It has been used only in recent years.
C. It has no fixed meaning
D. It is seldom used by consumers.
Question 78. The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic
foods instead of conventionally grown foods because
.
A. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods.
B. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods.
C. conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods.
D. too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops.
Question 79. According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than
conventionally grown foods are often
.
A. careless
B. mistaken
C. thrifty
D. wealthy
Question 80. What is the authors attitude towards the claims made by advocates of health foods?
A. Very enthusiastic B. Skeptical
C. Neutral
D. Somewhat favorable

What exactly is a tornado? The general picture is familiar enough. The phenomenon usually occurs on a hot,
sticky day with south wind and an ominous sky. From the base of a thunderhead, a funnel-shaped cloud extends
a violently twisting spout toward the Earth. As it sucks in matter in its path, the twister may turn black, brown or
even white. The moving cloud shows an almost continuous display of sheet lightning. It lurches along in a
meandering path, usually northeast ward, at 25 to 40 miles per hour. Sometimes it picks up its finger from the
earth for a short distance and then plants it down again. The funnel is very slender; its wake of violence
averages about 400 yards wide. As the tornado approaches, it is heralded by a roar as a hundreds of jet planes or
thousands of railroad cars. Its path is a path of total destruction. Buildings explode as they are sucked in by the
tornados low-pressure vortex (where the pressure drop is as much as 10 percent) and by its powerful whirling
winds (estimated at up to 500 miles per hour). The tornados lifetime is as brief as it is violent. Within a few

Passage 2 - Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer.
PARENTESE
Who talk more men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist Deborah
Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a stereotype. According
to Tannen, women are more verbal talk more in private situations, where they use conversation as the glue
to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to
exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that we can see these differences even in children.
Little girls often play with one best friend, their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play
games in groups; their play usually involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal
skills, boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers studied
conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk very differently
to their son than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents use more language with
their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more
details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness, with daughters than with sons.

answer to questions from 31 to 40
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a disaster.
According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious
parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic
parental expectations can cause great damage to children. However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what
they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well
especially if the parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about
86
music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons
for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michaels mother knows very little
about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music
competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michaels friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are
successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as
they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win.
Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
Cu 31: Michael Collins is fortunate in that ______.
A. his father is a musician
B. his parents are quite rich

A. has won a lot of piano competitions
B. cannot learn much music from them

Cu 33: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ______.
A. help their child to become a genius
B. make their child become a musician
C. neglect their childs education
D. push their child into trying too much
Cu 34: Parents ambition for their children is not wrong if they ______.
A. force their children into achieving success
B. themselves have been very successful
C. arrange private lessons for their children D. understand and help their children sensibly

answer to questions 46 to 55.
Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life. The great ocean basins (vng) hold about 300
million cubic miles of water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked (hp th) into
the atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by precipitation (ma, kt ta) and drainage to the ocean.
More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the continents. This vast amount is required to
replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent. Thus, the
hydrosphere (quyn nc) permits organic existence. The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water
87
has properties unlike those of any other liquid. One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9
percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling. For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking
to the bottom. If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface
melt water during the summer season. Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm
and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent. Another outstanding characteristic of
water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and solids except ammonia. This
characteristic enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic
extremes. In addition, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. It is this characteristic which helps
make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down from the continents. In several
areas of the world these minerals are being commercially exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely
practiced, potash (KCO3 b tt) is extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water
along the American Gulf Coast.
Cu 46: The authors main purpose in this passage is to _____.
A. explain how water is used in commerce and industry
B. compare water with other liquids
C. illustrate the importance of conserving water
D. describe the properties and uses of water
Cu 47: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because _______.
A. they do not need oxygen
B. ice floats
C. evaporation and condensation create a water cycle
D. there are currents in the oceans
Cu 48: The word outstanding in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. exceptionally good
B. special
C. important
D. amusing
Cu 49: According to the passage, the hydrosphere is NOT _______.
A. a source of natural resources
B. the part of the earth covered by water
C. responsible for all forms of life
D. in danger of freezing over
Cu 50: The word replenish in paragraph 1 can best be replaced by _______.
A. replace
B. evaporate
C. fill again
D. form

A. 80,000 million cubic miles of water

Reading the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 10:
Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frame of an object, each slightly
different than the proceeding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw the
different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer will
produce the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as computer-assisted
animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.
In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequences of
pictures. These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that defines the objects in the pictures as
they exist in mathematical space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information.
Highly trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees of
realism involves computer techniques fro three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures.(cong, vo)

High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special color
terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer(m, gim sc) is nothing more than a giant image memory for
viewing a single frame. It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen.
A camera can be used to film directly from the computers display screen, but for the highest quality images
possible, expensive film recorders are used. The computer computers the positions and colors for the figures in
the picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes, however, the
images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder. Once this process is completed, it
is replaced for the next frame. When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the film must be
developed before the animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right, the motions must be
corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive and time- consuming.
Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings
before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images.

Reading the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the question 71 to 80:
Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones,
make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about
the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing.
Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness (hiu bit) at all and ascribe
( li) actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained
behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight
pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the suns position in the sky,
and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the
ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when
experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the
previous site, foraging (tm ti) honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When
the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No
one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the
location of the new site.
Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition (nhn thc) include tool use. Many animals, like the
otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as
rudimentary (s ng) tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees (tinh tinh) occasionally show
their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells
containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and
three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the
higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label
quantities of items and do simple sums.
Question 71: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior.
B. The use of food in studies of animal behavior.
C. The role of instinct in animal behavior.
D. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments.

A. To determine the quality of food at a site
B. To increase the speed of travel to food sources
C. To identify the type of nectar that is available
D. To communicate the location of food
Question 74: The word yet is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. however
B. generally
C. since
D. so far
Question 75: What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2?
A. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought.
B. The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food.
C. Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity.

PART VI: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees homes and offices. For
employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the
location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the
work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a distant site and transmit the material to their
employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. But
although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when
Business Week published "The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn't
telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many
managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the
country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the manager's responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the

PART VII: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain
a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a
99
little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused egg sales to
plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating
regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look
somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they
can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching,
or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called 'designer' eggs. These
eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice
bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as
regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in
humans.
Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up
their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought
mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person
who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people.
In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol.
Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing
this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.
Question 61: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
D. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.
Question 62: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?
A. minerals
B. cholesterol
C. canola oil
D. vitamins
Question 63: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?
A. in fact
B. a little
C. indefinitely
D. a lot
Question 64: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. increasing price
B. decreased production
C. dietary changes in hens
D. concerns about cholesterol
Question 65: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested
daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 3/4
B. 2/3
C. 1/2
D. 1/3
Question 66: The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. studied
B. destroyed
C. tested
D. described

VI. Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 56 .
A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake ,one of the
worlds largest and deepest , lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice .Now known as Lake Vostok, this
huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica . The lake is able to exist in its
unfrozen state beneath this blockof ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earths
core .The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface .
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research teamwas conducting an aerial survey of the
area .Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate
size.It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous
size of the lake ; the satellite borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because
it is floating on the water of the lake .
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific
community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands
upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have
affected organism in more exposed areas .The downside of the discovery,however, lies in the difficulty of
conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining
uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination . Scientists are
looking for possible way to accomplish this.

V. Read the passage and the questions or unfinished sentences, then choose the best answer for each.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun and hides at least some part of the Sun from
the earth. In a partial eclipse, the Moon covers part of the Sun; in an annual eclipse, the Moon covers the center
of the Sun, leaving a bright ring of light around the Moon; in a total eclipse, the Sun is completely covered by
the Moon.
It seems rather improbable that a celestial body size of the Moon could completely block out the
tremendously immense Sun, as happens during a total eclipse, but this is exactly what happens. Although the
Moon is considerably smaller in size than the Sun, the Moon is able to cover the Sun because of their relative
distances from Earth. A total eclipse can last up to 7 minutes, during which time the Moons shadow moves
across Earth at a rate of about 6 kilometers per second.
36. This passage mainly _________.
a. describes how long an eclipse will last.
B. gives facts about the Moon.
c. explains how the Sun is able to obscure the Moon.
D. informs the reader about solar eclipses.

d. A celestial eclipse
38. The word ring in line 3 could be best replaced by ______.

39. A celestial body in line 5 is most probably one that is found ______.
a. somewhere in the sky
b. within the Moons shadow
c. on the surface of the Sun
d. inside Earths atmosphere
40. What is the meaning of block out in line 5?
a. Square
b. Cover
c. Evaporate
d. Shrink
41. According to the passage, how can the Moon hide the Sun during a total eclipse?
a. The fact that the Moon is closer to Earth than the Sun makes up for the Moons smaller size.
b. The Moon can only obscure the Sun because of the Moons great distance from the Earth.
c. Because the Sun is relatively close to Earth, the Sun can be eclipsed by the Moon.
d. The moon hides the Sun because of the Moons considerable size.
42. The word relative in line 8 could best be replaced by ________.

Most people think of deserts as dry, flat areas with little vegetation and little or no rainfall, but this is hardly
true. Many deserts have varied geographical formations ranging from soft, rolling hills to stark, jagged cliffs,
and most deserts have a permanent source of water. Although deserts do not receive a high amount of rainfall
to be classified as a desert, an area must get less than twenty-five centimeters of rainfall per year there are
many plants that thrive on only small amounts of water, and deserts are often full of such plant life.
Desert plants have a variety of mechanisms for obtaining the water needed for survival. Some plants, such
as cactus, are able to store large amounts of water to last until the next rainfall. Other plants, such as the
mesquite, have extraordinarily deep root systems that allow them to obtain water from far below the deserts
arid surface.

Reading passage:
As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have become
increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks. High-fat diets and "life
in the fast lane" have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of heart failure. But according to new
studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and quite surprising.
Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage of heart
attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any other day of the
week. In addition, people are more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few hours after waking. Cardiologists
first observed this morning phenomenon in the mid-1980, and have since discovered a number of possible
causes. An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart stimulating hormones,
plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between
the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M.
115
In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors. Statistics reveal that
heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few days immediately preceding and
following their birthdays. And unmarried men are more at risk for heart attacks than their married counterparts.
Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research
continues in the hope of further comprehending why and how heart failure is triggered.

Reading passage:
Line

You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by
their actions. This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know
how to respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and
to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say
the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional

humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological
heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate
sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary,
Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo
villages north of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can
recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and
surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity
of emotional displays the so called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example,
children are taught to control emotional responses especially negative ones- while many
American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of
culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in peoples behavior.
From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings.
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close
attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading
emotions on peoples faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our
abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin
pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species
boundaries. Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry
different meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose might be
conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in
China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on
a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences
emotional expressions.

Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has
been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was passed
through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power.
Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not
much adaptability. On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful
voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge
electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by
electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a furnace, or
to boil a jug for a cup of coffee. Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full,
electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted.
It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast
distances. To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water
to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the
atmosphere with smoke from coal. Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an
accident. A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity.
The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation. Now scientists are examining new ways of
creating electricity without harmful effects to the environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and
out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming
pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this
happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars
that burn fossil fuels.
Question 36: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to
______.
A. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy
B. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer for each of the questions
Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a hindrance, and
may even cause harm. These studies have disclosed that the judgments of interviewers differ markedly and bear
little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants. Of the many reasons why this should be the case,
three in particular stand out.
The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect. If a person has one
noticeable good trait , their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are. Thus, an individual
who dresses smartly and shows self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well regardless of
his or her real ability.
Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect. This error occurs when
interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information. Hence, in an interview situation,
the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the impression given by the candidate in the first
few moments. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the
applicant.
The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers. A suitable candidate
may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who appears exceptionally intelligent.
Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be judged as more
suitable than he or she really is.
Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other selection
procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability. Of the various tests devised,
the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety of verbal
and spatial tests.

Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the tides.
No other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves created by the wind
are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface. The currents also seldom
involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive sweep.
The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun.
In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of the universe.
In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and,
to a lesser extent, the Sun.
Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of
high tide is correspondingly later each day. And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the
height of the tide varies. The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and
when it is full. These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called
the spring tides. At these times the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two
heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against
the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon,
when the Sun, Moon and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and
Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference between
high and low water is less than at any other time during the month.
Cu 16: What is the main point of the first paragraph?
A. The waves created by ocean currents are very large.
B. Despite the strength of the wind, it only moves surface water.
C. Deep ocean water is seldom affected by forces that move water.
D. The tides are the most powerful force to affect the movement of ocean water.

A. size

The ocean bottom - a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth - is a vast
frontier that even today is largely unexplored and uncharted. Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor
was completely inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep. Totally without light
and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth's surface, the deep-ocean
bottom is a hostile environment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer
space.
Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first
detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the
National Science Foundation's Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP).Using techniques first developed for the
offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP's drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady
position on the ocean's surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock from
the ocean floor.
The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November
1983. During this time, the vessel logged 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 core samples of seabed
sediments and rocks at 624 drilling sites around the world. The Glomar Challenger's core samples have
allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to
calculate what it will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today, largely on the strength of
evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger's voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of
134
plate tectonics and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes that shape the Earth.
The cores of sediment drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also yielded information critical to
understanding the world's past climates. Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching back
hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated from the mechanical erosion and the intense

In the very distant geological (a cht) past all animals were aquatic. The very first vertebrates (c xng
sng), or animals with backbones, of which we have any fossil record, lived in the water. These vertebrates, the
fish, were adapted (thch nghi) to underwater living. Their streamlined bodies were covered with scales to
reduce surface friction (ma st): they had muscular tails so that they could swim swiftly in such a dense medium
as water; and they were endowed with gills for breathing underwater.
Descendants (hu du) of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and accommodated themselves to
life on land. As amphibians, they possessed limbs instead of fins and lungs instead of gills. But they never
became completely free of the bonds that tied them to the water; even today many amphibians return to the
water to lay their eggs.
Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types of land dwellers
appeared; these animals gave rise to the present-day reptiles and mammals. They were more completely
converted for land dwelling, with bodies and biological activities far different from those of fish. With these
special adaptations, mammals have been able to colonize the woods and meadows, the deserts and high
mountains, often far removed from the sea.

For a long time, amphibians were confused with reptiles. Like reptiles, they have three-chambered hearts and
are cold-blooded. Some amphibians, such as salamanders, are even shaped like lizards. However, unlike
reptiles, amphibians never have claws on their toes or scales on their bodies. Furthermore, the eggs of
amphibians lack shells, so they must be laid in water or in moist places.
Amphibians were the first creatures to spend sizable amounts of their lives on land. The larvae of most
amphibians, such as frog tadpoles, are born with gills and live in water. However, their gills disappear as they
develop lungs. Most retain the ability to breathe through the moist surface of their skin. This comes in handy
when they hibernate in the bottom mud of lakes and ponds during the coldest months. They take in the small
amount of oxygen they need through their skin. Some amphibians undergo what is known as a "double
metamorphosis", changing not only from gill breathers to lung breathers but also from vegetarians to
insectivores.
Although the amphibian class is rather small in number of species, it shows great diversity. There are three
major types. The caecilians of the tropics are long, legless, burrowing creatures. Caudate amphibians, such as
newts and salamanders, mostly have long tails and stubby legs. Salientians, which include both frogs and toads,
are tailless as adults and have powerful hind legs. Toads differ from frogs primarily in that they have dry, warty
skin.

Galaxies are not evenly distributed throughout the universe. A few are found alone, but almost all are
grouped in formations termed galactic clusters. These formations should not be confused with stellar clusters,
globular clusters of stars that exist within a galaxy. The size of galactic clusters varies enormously, with some
clusters containing only a dozen or so members and others containing as many as 10,000. Moreover, galactic
clusters themselves are part of larger clusters of clusters, termed superclusters. It is surmised that even clusters
of superclusters are possible.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a galactic cluster called the Local Group, which has twenty members
and is typical in terms of the types of galaxies it contains. There are three large spiral galaxies: Andromeda, the
largest galaxy in the group; the Milky Way, the second-largest galaxy; and the Trianglum Spiral, the third
largest. There are also four medium-sized spiral galaxies, including the Large Cloud of Magellan and the Small
Cloud of Magellan. There are four regular elliptical galaxies; the remainders are dwarf ellipticals. Other than
our own galaxy, only Andromeda and the Clouds of Magellan can be seen with the naked eye, and the Clouds
are visible only from the Southern Hemisphere.
146
In the vicinity of the Local Group are several clusters, each containing around twelve members. The nearest
cluster rich in members is the Virgo Cluster, which contains thousands of galaxies of all types. Like most large
clusters, it emits X-rays. The Local Group, the small neighboring clusters, and the Virgo Cluster form part of a
much larger cluster of clusters the Local Supercluster.
The existence of galactic clusters presented a riddle to scientists for many years the missing mass
problem. Clusters are presumably held together by the gravity generated by their members. However,
measurements showed that the galaxies did not have enough mass to explain their apparent stability. Why didnt
these clusters disintegrate? It is now thought that galaxies contain great amounts of dark matter, which
cannot be directly observed but which generates gravitational pull.
This matter includes gas, dust, burnt-out stars, and even black holes.
Cu 69: Which of the followings does the passage mainly discuss?
A. An astronomical problem that has never been solved.
B. A recent development in astronomy.
C. Clusters and superclusters of galaxies.
D. The incredible distance between galaxies.

Education in the future
Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the way we
communicate. Todays college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a library to learn about their field.
Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality they can participate in lifelike simulated
experiences. Consider the following scenario of the future of education made possible through developments in
information technology.
For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory. Some of the older children
attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or instruction from a teacher. For the most part,
pupils are encouraged to work online from home. Students must complete a minimum number of study hours
per year; however, they may make up these hours by studying at home at times that suit their family schedule.
They can log on early or late in the day and even join live classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each
student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week each
student studies on-line as well as that students learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be
available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify the best learning activities and condition for
each individual student and generate similar activities. It can also identify areas of weak achievement and
produce special programs adjusted to the students needs.

A. The effect of information technology on education.
B. students dont have to go to school any more.
C. Computer software will make sure students learn at home.

C. Three
D. Four
3. Who/What counts the number of hours per week that students spend learning?
A. Virtual reality
B. Teacher
C. Parents
D. Computer software
4. What CANT the software do?
A. Monitor the time the students learn.
B. Design materials for the students.
C. Find out the best activities for the students.
D. Identify weaknesses of the students.
5. What is NOT MENTIONED as a benefit of information technology to the students?
A. Students can stay at home to learn.
B. Students can learn at times that suit their schedule.
C. Students learning time wont be monitored.

Read the passage and choose the best answer.

It is always thought that women are the second class in the citizen, and men are the first. There is not real
equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society. Women
had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Womens place was in the kitchen and womens work was
household. In many places, women were not even allowed to go to school. Women had no rights, even the right
to choose a husband for them-selves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so they thought they were
more intelligent and important than women. Men considered women their property. Sometimes, women were
mistreated by their husbands and suffered this as a fate. Many parents did not even want to have female
children.
Thanks to the women liberation movement, women have nowadays proved that they are equal to men on
every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as him.
Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can: they produce children.

Read the passage and then choose the best answer for each following question.
Psychologists are interested in the reasons why some people like taking part in risky sports. When they
studied people who were learning to jump from a plane with a parachute, they found that parachutists bodies
produced large amounts of two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline, just before they made their jump.
These hormones help to prepare us for any sudden activity. Adrenaline increases the heart rate and provides
more sugar for the muscles, while nor does adrenaline make us react more quickly. However, nor adrenaline
also stimulates apart of the brain which controls feelings of pleasure. Some psychologists have concluded that it
is a feeling of pleasure caused by this hormone which makes certain people want to participate in dangerous
sports.
Another possible reason is the level of arousal in part of the brain. According to some psychologists, the brain
tries to maintain a certain level of arousal. They believe that people who normally have a low level of arousal
look for excitement and new experiences in order to stimulate themselves, whereas people who usually have a
high level of arousal try to avoid risks and unfamiliar situations in order not to become overexcited. If the
psychologists are right, people with a low arousal are the ones who enjoy participating in dangerous sports and
activities.
It is thought that people with low levels of arousal have a slower-reacting nervous system than people with
higher arousal levels. It may therefore be possible to find out your level of arousal by testing your nervous
system. A quick way of doing this is to put some lemon juice on your tongue. If you produce a lot of saliva,
your nervous system has been affected by the lemon and so you probably have a high level of arousal; if you
produce little of saliva, you probably have a low arousal level. If you have a low level, you might enjoy taking
part in risky sports. However, this does not mean that you have to try parachuting!
66. Why did the parachutists bodies produce a lot of adrenaline and nor adrenaline before they jumped from a
plane?
A. This is a natural reaction which helps to prepare one for sudden activity.
B. Because they had high arousal levels.
C. It is a natural reaction which guards them against the effects of accidents.
D. Because they had taken drugs which led to the production of these two hormones.
67. What two possible reasons are given for some peoples desire to participate in dangerous sports?
A. A lack of common sense, and a high level of arousal.
B. A low level of arousal, and an inborn desire for adventure.
C. The pleasure that results from the production of nor adrenaline, and a low level of arousal.
D. A desire to show off, and a lack of common sense.
68. What dose the brain try to maintain, according to some psychologists?
A. A high temperature.
B. A low temperature.
C. A certain level of arousal.
D. A sense of safety.
69. Why do psychologists believe that people with a high level of arousal try to avoid danger?
A. Because they already have the level of excitement which the brain tries to maintain.
B. Because they are more aware of the dangers involved.
C. Because they already have enough of the two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline.
D. Because they would not be able to cope with accidents.
70. What is shown by putting lemon juice on your tongue?
152
A. It shows that you have a high level of arousal if no saliva is produced.

B. It indicates your level of arousal by amount of saliva that is produced.
C. It can indicate whether your saliva is more acidic or more alkaline.
D. It is a good test of your sense of taste.

hormones?

Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem
of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare. And since mans inexorable
necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many
creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop.
Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its
desiccating effects. No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found. The
giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it
155
holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is largely
nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having adapted to their
austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word.
The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like
mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of
them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by
night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is
only 60 degrees.
Question 21: The title for this passage could be _____ .
A. Desert Plants
B. Life Underground

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the
time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the
language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make
his language like other peoples. In the same way, they learn all the other things they learn to do without being
taught to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle compare their own performances with those of more skilled
people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his
mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never
notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes
dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it,
what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or
not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him
correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the
child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Lets end all this nonsense of grades,
exam, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday
learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if
they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of ones
life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, But
suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world? Dont worry! If
it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

Read the following passage and choose the right answer to each of the questions.
Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over
conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods- a term
whose meaning varies greatly- frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a
welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the foods
supply is unsafe or inadequate in the meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported
by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the
general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of
organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely
publicized and formed the basic for folklore.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for no-aging diets, new vitamins, and other wonder
foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that
fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated
grains, and the like.
One thing that most organically grown foods products seem to have in common is that they cost more
than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe foods. So there is real
cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and
buy expensive organic foods instead.
Question 56 The welcome development mentioned in paragraph 2 is an increase in
A. interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans.
B. the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet.
C. the amount of healthy foods grown in North America.
D. the number of consumers in North America.
Question 57. According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term organic foods?
A. It is accepted by most nutritionists.
B. It has been used only in recent years.
C. It has no fixed meaning
D. It is seldom used by consumers.
159
Question 58. The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic
foods instead of conventionally grown foods because
.
A. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods.
B. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods.
C. conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods.
D. too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops.
Question 59. According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than
conventionally grown foods are often
.
A. careless
B. mistaken
C. thrifty
D. wealthy
Question 60. What is the authors attitude towards the claims made by advocates of health foods?
A. Very enthusiastic B. Skeptical
C. Neutral
D. Somewhat favorable
