Many of the wildcat species in the world today face possible extinction. What is worse is that
the cause of depletion has not been a natural one. It is man who has been responsible,
knowingly or not, for the plight of these wild animals. Yet, the only hope of saving them lies
in man himself. Through the years, the wildcat species have been cruelly hunted. Today in
China and the Far East there is still a market for not only the fur skins but also the organs and
bones of the tiger and leopard. Ironically, one of the main uses of this body parts is in
producing medicines which are said to help men promote long life and vitality.
As the population of humans grows, communities are built and extended into the natural
habitat of the wild cats. Forests are cleared and the feeding grounds of many of the wild cats
natural prey are destroyed. As a result, in many of these areas, wild cats are forced to become
predators of domestic animals. In these cases, they are labelled as a danger to man. Man has
to be more responsible for these wild cats future. Many governments and organizations can
show more support by banning the hunting and killing of the worlds endangered cat species.
More conservation programs and wildlife reserves should also be set up to help preserve
these species.

George Washington is one of the most famous citizens of the United States. He is
remembered as the Father of His Country. For nearly twenty years, he guided his nation.
Washington was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, on February 22, 1732. It is difficult
to know much about washingtons early education.
He only had seven or eight years of school in his whole life. In 1749 he became a surveyor, a
person who measures land areas as a profession. He served in the army during the American
Revolution. In fact, he was a lieutenant general, the highest rank in the army at that time. In
1759, he married Martha Dandridge Custis. They had several children.
Washington was elected president of the United States in 1787. He was reelected to a second
term in 1792. Many people wanted him to continue as president after his second term, but
Washington refused. During Washington s presidency, many important things happened. The
first national census was completed. The total number of US citizens was then 3,929,214. In
addition, the Bill of Right became law on December 15, 1791. These ten laws make sure that
Americans will have basic freedoms, such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
Washington helped to shape the beginning of the United States in three important ways. First
he commanded the Continental Army that won independence from Great Britain in the
Revolutionary War. Second, he served as president of the convention that wrote the United
States Constitution. Third, he was the first man elected president of the United States.No
other American has been honored more than Washington. The nations capital, Washington
D.C. was named for him. The state of Washington is the only state that was named for a
president. Many countries, towns, streets bridges, lakes, parks, and schools have his name
today. Washingtons portrait appears on postage stamps, on the one-dollar bill, and on the
quarter. His birthday is also a federal holiday. The people of his day loved Washington very
much. His army officers wanted to make him king, but he did not let them. From the time of
Revolutionary War, his birthday has been celebrated throughout the country. Today we
continue to remember this famous United States citizen.

Very Fast Trains

A very fast train is an electrified train that runs on a dedicated line. A very fast train has an
average speed of more than 250 km/h. It offers an obvious alternative to cars on crowded
motorways and to air travel on crowded air routes. Very fast trains have been around for a
long while. In Japan, the first very fast train, the so-called bullet train, first ran in 1964. Its
route, the Tokaido line, was from Tokyo to Osaka, a distance of 515 km. It achieved speeds of
up to 300 km/h. The 6 other national super train, the TGV (Train aGrande Vitesse: meaning
high-speed train), ran in France for the first time in 1983, on Paris to Lyon route. Super trains
are generally expected to run at an average speed 270km/h. Spains super train, the Ave, has
reached a top speed of 500km/h. No wonder very fast trains have spread throughout Europe,
and the bullet train system has been extended in Japan. How are very fast trains able to attain
such high speed? First of all, they have an efficient supply of energy through overhead
electric lines. They have aerodynamic design to limit wind resistance at high speeds. Curves
and climbs have been kept to a minimum.
They also travel on lines especially built for their high speeds there are no slower, more
conventional trains on super train lines. Very fast trains are smooth-running and quiet. They
have few delays. For examples, the average time for TGV trains to remain at stations is just a
few minutes.
That is, enough time to permit passengers to alight from and board the train. Planes travel at
much faster speed than super trains, yet passengers spend a lot of time getting to airports,
boarding the plane, and then leaving the airport and traveling to their local destination at the
other end. On some routes in Europe it is faster to travel by super train than by plane. There
are no super trains in Australia because of our vast distances and very small population.
Elsewhere in the world, super trains travel between centers of great population. However,
Queensland does have a tilt train, the next step down from the super trains. It achieves high
speeds because it tilts as it comes into curves. As a
result, the train does not have to slow down so much. However, it does not travel on a
specially constructed line.

a. what a very fast train looks like
b. how fast a train is
c. what the tracks look like

a. bullet train
b. tilt train
c. France train
d. Ave
e. TGV
13. A leading factor that helps enable the speed of very fast train is . . . .
a. their popularity among the general public
b. the distance over which they run
c. the use of tracks built especially for them
d. their unique design
e. the short time in station

14. Regions and countries that are famous for their very fast train are . . . .
a. The United States and Canada
b. China, including Hong Kong
c. Some countries of Western Europe (such as France and Spain ) and Japan.
d. Australia and Africa
e. Europe and Queensland

15. The main reason why Australia does not have a super train is . . . .
a. the problem of noise pollution
b. long distance and lack of many great centers of population
c. they would introduce more competition for the airlines
d. a lack of interest in fast transport.

The next famous woman writer to be considered is Dorothy Parker, an American poet,
short story writer, and literacy critic who became famous in the early twentieth century
for her witty but cynical observations on life. She got her first paying job as a writer in
1916 at the age of twenty-three when she began working for a womens magazine, and
nine years later she became a contributor to The New Yorker and regularly had her book
reviews appear in Constant Reader, a column in that magazine.
In addition to her magazine work, she published volumes of poetry and short stories with
the recurrent themes of disappointment with life and the loss of idealism; these
pessimistic themes, however, were presented with biting wit. One of her most famous
observations, Men seldom make passes/At girls who wear glasses, came from the poem
News Item, which was published in the volume Enough Rope (1926). This volume of
poetry was followed by the Sunset Gun (1928), Death and Taxes (1931), and a collection
of short stories, Here Lies (1939). Her book reviews were published in 1970 in a volume
entitled Constant Reader.

Questions 49 to 50
IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, is defined as the ratio of a persons mental age to
 chronological age, with the ratio multiplied by 100 to remove the decimal. Chronological
age is easily determined; mental age is generally measured by some kind of standard test
and is not so simple to define.
In theory, a standardized IQ t

est is set up to measure an individuals ability to perform intellectual operations such as

reasoning and problem solving. These intellectual operations are considered to represent
intelligence.
In practice, it has been impossible to arrive at consensus as to which types of intellectual
operations demonstrate intelligence. Furthermore, it has been impossible to devise a test
without cultural bias, which is to say that any IQ tests so far proposed have been shown to
reflect the culture of the test markers. Test takers from that culture would, it follows,
score higher on such a test than the takers from a different culture with equal intelligence.
49. What type of information is included in the first paragraph?
A. An argument
B. A definition
C. An opinion
D. A theory
E. A myth
50. How does the information in the third paragraph differ from that in the second
paragraph?
A. It presents a contrasting point of view.
B. It follows chronologically from the ideas in the second paragraph.
C. It presents real information rather than a premise.
D. It presents an example of the ideas in the second paragraph.
E. It presents a theory.
