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 55.
When the first white men came to America, they found natural resources of tremendous value. Forests
cover a large part of the nation, later gas, oil and minerals were found in unbelievable amounts. There was
a great abundance of very fertile soil. Forests, prairies, streams and rivers abounded with wildlife. So vast
were these resources that it seemed that they could never be used up. So forests were destroyed to make
way for farmland. Grassland and prairies were plowed and harrowed. Minerals and oil were used in great
quantities to supply a young industrial nation. Almost every river became the scene of factories, mills and
power companies. Mammals and birds were slaughtered for food and sport.
Within a short time, the results were obvious. Floods caused millions of dollars worth of damage
yearly. The very fertile soil washed away or blew up in great clouds. The seemingly inexhaustible oil and
minerals showed signs of depletion. Rivers were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from
factories. Many of the rivers were made unfit for fish. Several species of birds disappeared, and some
mammals seemed on the verge of going. Future timber shortages were predicted. In short, Americans
soon came to realize that some sorts of conservation program must be set up, if future as well as present
Americans were to share the resources that are the heritage of every American.

Cu 56 (1 im)
56. What does the passage mainly discuss?
Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior.
The use of food in studies of animal behavior.
The role of instinct in animal behavior.
Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments.
Cu 57 (1 im)
Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember past 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 at all and ascribe 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 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 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 tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees 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.
57. Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have?
Communicating emotions
Remembering past experiences
Selecting among choices

Anticipating events to come
Cu 58 (1 im)
58. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site?
To determine the quality of food at a site
To increase the speed of travel to food sources
To identify the type of nectar that is available
To communicate the location of food

The expression on your face can usually dramatically alter your feelings and perceptions, and it has
been proved that (36)...smiling or frowning can create corresponding emotional responses. The
idea was first (37).by a French physiologist, Israel Waynbaum, in 1906. He believed that
different facial (38).affected the flow of blood to the brain, and that this could create positive
or negative feelings. A happy smile or irrepressible (39)increased the blood flow and
contributed to joyful feelings. But sad, angry expressions decreased the flow of oxygen-carrying blood,
and created a vicious (40)of gloom and depression by effectively starving the brain of
essential fuel.
Psychologist Robert Zajonc rediscovered this early subject, and suggests that the temperature of the
brain could affect the production and synthesis of neurotransmitters which definitely influence our
moods and energy levels. He argues that an impaired blood could not only deprive the brain of oxygen,
but create further chemical imbalance (41).inhibiting these vital hormonal messages. Zajonc
goes on to propose that our brains remember smiling associated with being happy, and that by deliberately
smiling through your tears you can (42)your brain to release uplifting neurotransmitters

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 55.
The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by the thermonuclear reactions near its center that
convert hydrogen to helium. The sun has existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred
million years and is thousands of times larger than earth.
By studying the other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the suns life will be like. About
five billion years from now, the core of the sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature
will fall. The higher temperature of center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer
regions of the sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is
the closest planet to the sun. The sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become
too high for life to exist.
Once the sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it
shrinks to the size of the earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The sun may throw off huge amounts of
gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf.
After billions of years as a white dwarf, the sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat.
Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the sun has become a black dwarf, the earth will be dark and
cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the earths surface.
46. It can be inferred from the passage that the sun____________
A. is rapidly changing in size and brightness.
B. will continue to be a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years
C. has been in existence for 10 billion years

Internet jobs
Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be a trained programmer to work online. Of
course, there are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer skills, but the growth of new
media has opened up a wide range of Internet career opportunities requiring only a minimal level of
technical expertise. Probably one of the most well-known online job opportunities is the job of
Webmaster. However, it is hard to define one basic job description for this position. The qualifications
and responsibilities depend on what tasks a particular organization needs a Webmaster to perform.
To specify the job description of a Webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and software the
website the Webmaster will manage is running on. Different types of hardware and software require
different skill sets to manage them. Another key factor is whether the website will be running internally or
externally (renting shared space on the company servers). Finally, the responsibilities of a webmaster also
depend on whether he or she will be working independently, or whether the firm will provide people to
help. All of these factors need to be considered before one can create an accurate webmaster job
description.
Webmaster is one type of Internet career requiring in-depth knowledge of the latest computer
applications. However, there are also online jobs available for which traditional skills remain in high
demand. Content jobs require excellent writing skills and a good sense of the web as a new media.
The term new media is difficult to define because it compasses a constantly growing set of
new technologies and skills. Specifically, it includes websites, email, internet technology, CD-ROM,
DVD, streaming audio and video, interactive multimedia presentations, e-books, digital music, computer
illustration, video games, virtual reality, and computer artistry.
Additionally, many of todays Internet careers are becoming paid-by-the-job professions. With
many companies having to downsize in tough economic items, the outsourcing and contracting of
freelance workers online has become common business practice. The Internet provides an infinite pool of
buyers from around the world with whom freelancers can contract their services. An added benefit to such
online jobs is that freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside their own country.
How much can a person make in these kinds of careers? As with many questions related to todays
evolving technology, there is no simple answer. There are many companies willing to pay people with
Internet skills salaries well over $70,000 a year. Generally, webmasters start at about $30,000 per year,
but salaries can vary greatly. Freelance writers working online have been known to make between
$40,000 to $70,000 a year.

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 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 the 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.
46. What is the main topic of this passage?
The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources.
Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized.
How energy resources are tapped from nature.
Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide.
Cu 47 (1 im)
scale.
47. According to the passage, why should we consider using alternative energy sources?
Because fossil fuels are no longer available.
Because global warming has increased the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth.
Because they are free and available worldwide.
Because conventional energy resources are being depleted, and they cause environmental damage.

Lighthouses are towers with strong lights that help mariners plot their position, inform them that land is
near, and warn them of dangerous rocks and reefs. They are placed at prominentpoints on the coast and on
islands, reefs, and sandbars.
Every lighthouse has a distinctive pattern of light known as its characteristic. There are five basic
characteristics: fixed, flashing, occulting, group flashing, and group occulting. A fixed signal is a steady
beam. A flashing signal has periods of darkness longer than periods of light, while an occulting signals
periods of light are longer. A group- flashing light gives off two or more flashes at regular intervals, and a
group occulting signal consists of a fixed light with two or more periods of darkness at regular intervals.
Some lighthouses use lights of different colors as well, and today, most lighthouses are also equipped
with radio beacons. The three types of apparatus used to produce the signals are the catoptric, in which
metal is used to reflect the light; the dioptric, in which glass is used; and the catadioptric, in which both
glass and metal are used.
In the daytime, lighthouses can usually be identified by their structure alone. The most typical structure is
a tower tapering at the top, but some, such as the Bastion Lighthouse on the Saint Lawrence River, are
shaped like pyramids, and others, such as the Race Rock light, look like wooden houses sitting on high
platforms. Still others, such as The American Shoal lighthouse off the Florida Coast, are skeletal towers
of steel. Where lighthouses might be confused in daylight, they can be distinguished by day-marker
patterns - designs of checks and stripes painted in vivid colors on lighthouse walls.
In the past, the job of lighthouse keepers was lonely and difficult if somewhat romantic. Lighthouse
keepers put in hours of tedious work maintaining the lights. Today, lighthouses are almost entirely
automated with humans supplying only occasional maintenance. Because of improvements in
navigational technology, the importance of lighthouses has diminished. There are only about 340
functioning lighthouses in existence in the United States today, compared to about 1,500 in 1900, and
there are only about 1,400 functioning lighthouses outside the United States. Some decommissioned
lighthouses have been preserved as historical monuments.
56. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the functions of lighthouses?
To help sailors determine their location

Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun. It is well
placed for observation for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets apart
from Venus, though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiters less than 10 hour rotation
period gives it the shortest day in the solar system in so far as the principal planets are concerned. There
are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular of the orbital plane is only
just over 3-less than that for any other planet.
The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. It has shown variations in both intensity and
color, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years. At its greatest extent it
may be 40,000 kilometers long and 14,000 kilometers wide, so its surface area is greater than that of
Earth. Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in longitude. Over the past century
the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200. The latitude is generally very close to
-22. It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiters outer
gas. However, the Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a
phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its longevity may well due to its exceptional size, but there are signs
that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent. Several smaller red spots have been seen
occasionally but have not lasted.

For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming back to an empty
house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in
common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. They are children who
look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.
Lynette Long was once the principal of an elementary school. She said, We had a school rule against
wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling
them to put the keys inside shirts. There were so many keys; it never came to my mind what they meant.
Slowly, she learned that they were house keys. She and her husband began talking to the children who
had keys. They learned of the effects working couples and single parents were having on their children.
Fear was the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs
talked to reported being frightened. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety. The
most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. They may hide in a shower stall,
under a bed or in a closet. The second is TV. They often turn the volume up. Its hard to get statistics on
latchkey children, the Longs have learned. Most parents are slow to admit that they leave their children
alone.

The ocean bottom - a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth - is a
vast frontierthat even today is largely unexplored and uncharted. Until about a century ago, the deepocean 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.
5
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
10 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 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
15
back hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated from the mechanical erosion
and the intense chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much land-based evidence of
past climates. This record has already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climatic
change - information that may be used to predict future climates.

As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased. The
frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities. Industrialization
and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise
to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility. Increasingly, too, schools
were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society.
The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the
century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920
schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly
lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and
counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the
larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by
public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies.
Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs
of specific populations. Immigrant women were once such population. Schools tried to educate young
women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many
educators considered appropriate for women was the home.
Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American
education gave homemaking a new definition. In preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the
production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities
both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States,
however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal American
homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be consumer
homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if
economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others. Subsequent reforms have made these
notions seem quite out-of-date.

Ranked as the number one beverage consumed worldwide, tea takes the lead over coffee in both
popularity and production with more than 5 million metric tons of tea produced annually. Although much
of this tea is consumed in Asian, European, and African countries, the United States drinks its fair share.
According to estimates by the Tea Council of the United States, tea is enjoyed by no less than half of the
U.S. population on any given day. Black tea or green tea iced, spiced, or instant tea drinking has
spurred a billion-dollar business with major tea producers in Africa and South America and throughout
Asia.
Tea is made from the leaves of an evergreen plant, Camellia sinensis, which grows tall and lush in tropical
regions. On tea plantation, the plant is kept trimmed to approximately four feet high and as new buds
called flush appear, they are plucked off by hand. Even in todays world of modern agricultural
machinery, hand harvesting continues to be the preferred method. Ideally, only the top two leaves and a
bud should be picked. This new growth produces the highest quality tea.
After being harvested, tea leaves are laid out on long drying racks, called withering racks, for 18 to 20
hours. During this process, the tea softens and becomes limp. Next, depending on the type of tea being
produced, the leaves may be crushed or chopped to release flavor, and then fermented under controlled
conditions of heat and humidity. For green tea, the whole leaves are often steamed to retain their green
color, and the fermentation process is skipped. Producing black teas requires fermentation during which
the tea leaves begin to darken. After fermentation, black tea is dried in vats to produce its rich brown or
black color.
No one knows when or how tea became popular, but legend has it that tea as a beverage was discovered
in 2737 B.C. by Emperor Shen Nung of China when leaves from a Camellia dropped into his drinking
water as it was boiling over a fire. As the story goes, Emperor Shen Nung drank the resulting liquid and
proclaimed the drink to be most nourishing and refreshing. Though this account cannot be documented, it
is thought that tea drinking probably originated in China and spread to other parts of Asia, then to Europe,
and ultimately to America colonies around 1650.
With about half the caffeine content as coffee, tea is often chosen by those who want to reduce, but not
necessarily eliminate their caffeine intake. Some people find that tea is less acidic than coffee and
therefore easier on the stomach. Others have become interested in tea drinking since the National Cancer
Institute published its findings on the antioxidant properties of tea. But whether tea is enjoyed for its
perceived health benefits, its flavor, or as a social drink, teacups continue to be filled daily with the
worlds most popular beverage.

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 disease. One egg yolk, in fact,
contain a little more than two- thirds of 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 eggs substitutes are not really eggs,
but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have advantage of having lower
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 eggs,
sometimes called "designer" eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting
of ingredients such as canola oil, flaw, 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 relationships between eggs and human cholesterol levels have
brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of eggs 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 is 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.
46. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. to inform people about the relation between eggs and cholesterol

C. to persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten

The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts: its bare mountains and
moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. Many of the most beautiful areas
are national parks and are protected from development. When British people think of the countryside they
think of farmland, as well as open spaces. They imagine cows or sheep in green fields enclosed by hedges
or stone walls, and fields of wheat and barley. Most farmland is privately owned but is crossed by a
network of public footpaths.
Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation. They spend their free time walking or
cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch. In summer people go to fruit farms and
pick strawberries and other fruit. Only a few people who live in the country work on farms. Many
commute to work in towns. Many others dream of living in the country, where they believe they would
have a better and healthier lifestyle.
The countryside faces many threats. Some are associated with modern farming practices, and the use of
chemicals harmful to plants and wildlife. Land is also needed for new houses. The green belt, an area of
land around many cities, is under increasing pressure. Plans to build new roads are strongly opposed by
organizations trying to protect the countryside. Protesters set up camps to prevent, or at least delay, the
building work.
America has many areas of wild and beautiful scenery, and there are many areas, especially in the West in
states like Montana and Wyoming, where few people live. In the New England states, such as Vermont
and New Hampshire, it is common to see small farms surrounded by hills and green areas. In Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and other Midwestern states, fields of corn or wheat reach to the horizon and there are
many miles between towns.
Only about 20% of Americans live outside cities and towns. Life may be difficult for people who live in
the country. Services like hospitals and schools may be further away and going shopping can mean
driving long distances. Some people even have to drive from their homes to the main road where their
mail is left in a box. In spite of the disadvantages, many people who live in the country say that they like
the safe, clean, attractive environment. But their children often move to a town or city as soon as they can.
As in Britain, Americans like to go out to the country at weekends. Some people go on camping or fishing
trips, others go hiking in national parks.
56. We can see from the passage that in the countryside of Britain ______.
