Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of
exercise. It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles
and stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling.
Because youre not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, its a good form of
7

exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise its
important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage
muscles that arent used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for
health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask his/her advice.
Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to
be doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Dont worry that if you begin to
lose your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart.
This is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect.
However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.
46. According to the writer, it is best to go cycling..............
A. once a week
B. at least two or three times a month
C. at least two or three times a week
D. every day
47. All forms of exercise must be started............
A. quickly
B. gradually
C. strenuously
D. violently
48. People with back problems might go cycling because.............
A. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet
B. it helps them to relieve their backache
C. it helps to make their backs become stronger
D. it does not make them carry the weight of their body on their feet
49. You should not worry about the shortness of breath because..............
A. it is a sign of exercise having the right effect
B. it shows that you should stop and take a rest
C. it shows that there is something wrong with your heart
D. it is a sign of your getting rid of your heart problem

QUESTIONS 36-40: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions

Like schools in Britain and other English speaking countries, those in the U.S have also
always stressed "character" or "social" skills through extracurricular activities, including
organized sports. Because most schools start at around 8 o'clock every morning and classes
often do not finish until 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, such activities mean that many
18

students do not return home until the early evening. There is usually a very broad range of
extracurricular activities available. Most schools, for instance, publish their own student
newspapers, and some have their own radio stations. Almost all have student orchestras,
bands, and choirs.
Many different sports are also available and most schools share their facilities - swimming
pools, tennis courts, tracks, and stadiums - with the public. Often the students themselves
organize and support school activities and raise money through car washes, baby-sitting, or
by mowing lawns. Parents and local business often also help a group that, for example, has
a chance to go to a state music competition, to compete in some sports championship, or
take a camping trip. Such activities not only give pupils a chance to be together outside of
normal classes, they also help develop a feeling of "school spirit" among the students and in
the community.

B. five
C six
D. four
37. Which extracurricular school activities are not mentioned?

A. look after a baby
B. repair cars
C. sell lawn movers
D. sell newspapers
40. Which activities are not helped by parents and local business?
A. performing at a state music competition B. working in a TV station
C. playing in a sport competition
D. having a camping trip

for farm, for houses and industry, and there are fewer open spaces than there once were.
Farmers use powerful chemicals to help them grow better crops, but these chemicals pollute
the environment and (39)--------------wildlife. The most successful animals on Earth, human
beings, will soon be the only ones(40)--------------unless we can solve this problem.

From our start in 1961, WWF has worked to protect endangered species. We're
ensuring that the world our children inherit will be home to elephants, tigers, giant pandas,
whales and other wildlife species, as well as people.
WWF safeguards hundreds of species around the world, but we focus special attention on
our flagship species: giant pandas, tigers, polar bears, endangered whales and dolphins,
rhinos, elephants, marine turtles and great apes. These species not only need special
measures and extra protection in order to survive, they also serve as umbrella species:
helping them helps numerous other species that live in the same habitats.
WWF and its partners have a number of projects around the world to reduce HumanWildlife Conflict and improve the livelihoods of the people affected.
In addition to our flagship animals, we work to protect numerous species in peril around the
world that live within our priority ecoregions. Large predators like snow leopards and
grizzly bears, migratory species like whooping cranes and songbirds, and a host of other
species facing threats also benefit from WWF's conservation efforts. Our wildlife trade
experts at TRAFFIC work to ensure that trade in wildlife products doesn't harm a species,
while also fighting against illegal and unsustainable trade.

Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the way
we communicate. Today's college students may not simple sit in a lecture or a library to
learn about their field. Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality they can
36

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 a weekly to get tutorial support or
instruction from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from
home. Students should complete a minimum number of study hour 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 hours a week each student studies on line as well as that student's
learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and
teachers. The software can then identify the best learning activities and conditions for each
individual student and generate similar activities. It can be also identify areas of week
achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the students' needs.
41. What is the topic of the passage?
A. Students don't have to go to school any more
B. The effect of information technology on education
C. Students can know about their weak aspects to focus
D. Computer software will make sure students learn at home
42. How many times are children who are older than 10 required to go to school weekly?
A. Three
B. No time
C. Once or twice
D. Four
43. Who/what counts the number of hours per week that students spend learning?
A. Teacher
B. Parents
C. Virtual reality
D. Computers
44. What can't the software do?
A. Find out the best activities for the students
B. Design materials for the students
C. Identify weaknesses of the students
D. Monitor the time the students learn
45. What is NOT MENTIONED as a benefit of information technology to the students?
A. Students can learn at times that suit their schedule
B. Students can stay at home to learn
C. Students' learning time won't be monitored
D. Students' weak achievement can be identified.

Questions 31 35: Read the following passage and then choose the best answer to the
questions by circling the letter A, B, C or D:
Women in Britain are without doubt better off today than they used to be. At the
beginning of the 19th century, women seemed to have almost no rights at all. They could not
vote , or even sign a contract. Their marriages were arranged by their parents. They were
once kept at home and if they were allowed to work, they were never given responsible
jobs. It is strange to think that, as far as we know, most women were happy with that
situation.
Today the position is quite different. Women now can vote and choose their own
husbands. In 1970, a law was passed to give them an equal share of property in the case of
divorce, and in the same year the Equal Pay Act gave them the right to get equal payment
with them for work of equal value.
Yet , despite these changes, there is no doubt that there are still great differences in
status between men and women. Many employers-maybe even in the majority-seem to
ignore the Equal Pay Act. It is also more difficult for a woman to get a promotion than a
man does.
There is sex discrimination in England although it has not been so serious as it was.
More and more women got out to work, earn more money, get high positions in the society,
and live independently. However there are two great problems to solve. The first problem is
mens attitude. They always think that women are inferior and are the weaker sex. We do
not know exactly how long it will take them to change their mind. And the other problem
whish is much more difficult is womens attitude. They should be ready to struggle to
change their fate.
31. At the beginning of the 19th century, ..
A. British women were better off than today
B. Women seemed to have almost no rights at all.
C. British women had the right to vote.
D. British women had the right to choose their husbands.
32. The Equal Pay Act was passed in . .
A. 1960
B. 1962
C. 1970
D. 1971
33. Which of these following sentences is not true?
A. All the employers in Britain obey the Equal Pay Act.
40

B. In 1970, a law was passed to give British women the right to share property equally in
the case of divorce.
C. The Equal Pay Act gave British women the right to get equal payment with men for work
of equal value.
D. Women cannot get promotion as easily as men.
34. What is mens attitude?
A. They consider women to be equal to them.
B. They always look up women.
C. They consider women the stronger sex.
D. They consider women the weaker
sex.
35. What should women do to eliminate sex discrimination?
A. They should struggle to change their fate.
B. They should suffer with pleasure.
C. They should earn more money.
D. All are correct.

Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables
humans to share knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify
communication with speech, communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal and
nonverbal.
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It
includes apparent behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as
well as less obvious messages such as dress, posture and spatial distance between two or
more people.
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and
these others, in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.
73

Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and
refined throughout a person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by
watching and imitating, much as they learn verbal skills.
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at
reading nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent
reliance on the nonverbal to communicate. As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal
channels of communication do' not cease to exist although become entwined in the total
communication process.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs, and other parts' of the body and face
are the most pervasive types of nonverbal messages and the most difficult to control. 'It is
estimated that there are over 200.000 physical signs capable of stimulating meaning in
another person. For example, there are 23 distinct eyebrow movements, each capable of
stimulating a different meaning.
Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements and
postures. Body movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked.
77

Because such avenues of communication are visual, they travel much farther than spoken
words and are unaffected by the presence of noise that interrupt, or cancels out speech.
People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit. We tend to be more relaxed
with friends or when addressing those of lower status. Body orientation also indicates status
or liking of the other individual. More direct orientation is related to a more positive
attitude.
Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly
support or reject the spoken word. If these two means of communication are dichotomized
and contradict each other, some result will be a disordered image and most often the
nonverbal will dominate.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Spoken language is based on a face-to-face encounter. One person directly addresses
another or others.
Within the face-to-face encounter of speech, communication is' not limited to Words.
Speakers use a wide variety of extra-verbal devices, from emphasis and dramatic pauses to
changes in tone or tempo. Speakers also use a broad range of nonverbal clues. They "talk"
with their eyes and their bodies. They use hand gestures and facial expressions to convey
ideas. And speakers respond to similar cues from their listeners - the nods and grunts that
say, in effect, "I hear you," or the quizzical looks that say, "I don't understand."
As we learn a language, we also learn the non-verbal conventions of that language- the
meaning of a shrug, a pout, or a smile. Speech thus often includes not only a face-to-face
meeting, but also a meeting of the minds. "Conversation," Steven Pinker notes, "requires
cooperation."
Listeners assume that speakers are conveying information relevant to what they already
know and what they want to know. They have to not only listen to words but also observe
verbal devices and body gestures in order to understand the meanings of vague and
ambiguous words and to fill in the unsaid logical steps.
Speaker and listener are aware of each other's knowledge, interests, and biases. They
can interpret remarks within the common social setting in which they find themselves. This
mutual understanding is frequently absent with written communication. While in written
communication, information an author would like to assume the reader knows must be
included with a text. Writers must make their biases explicit to assure full understanding by
the critical reader, and readers, unable to read body language, must read the text carefully to
find out attitudes or biases underlying it.
36.We can use nonverbal clues in both spoken and written communication.
a. True
b. False
c. No information
37.Emphasis, dramatic pauses and changes in tone or tempo are verbal devices.
81

a. True
b. False
c. No information
38.We can even use gestures to express a marital proposal.
a. True
b. False
c. No information
39.In a conversation, only listening to the speaker's voice is enough for the listener to
understand thoroughly even the meanings of vague and ambiguous words
a. True
b. False
c. No information
40.Body language can also be read in a written text.
a. True
b. False
c. No information
