Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
(1) Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at home. In fact, the U.S.
Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being home-schooled. Some
educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and the ranks of home-schooled children
seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent every year.
(2) At one time, there was a theory accounting for home-schooling: it was traditionally used for students
who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today, however, more parents are
taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home due to their dissatisfaction with the
educational system. Many parents are unhappy about class size, as well as problems inside the classroom.
Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty
students. The children are, therefore, deprived of the attention they need. Escalating classroom violence has also
motivated some parents to remove their children from school.
(3) Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, home-schooling in the U.S. has become a
multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger. There are now plenty of websites, support
groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them to learn more about educating their
children. Though once it was the only choice for troubled children, home-schooling today is an accepted
alternative to an educational system that many believe is failing. Question 1: This estimated number was
presented by
A. home - schooled children
B. the parents
C. a governmental office
D. school teachers
Question 2: According to some experts, the exact number of home-schooled children then must be •

best equivalent to " at home".
A. taught B. self- learned C. self-studied D. untaught
Question 4: Many parents stop their children from going to school because it is now too________________ for
them.

questions.
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

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.
A( " LEVEL OF VOCABULARY
(1)Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers. In English, at
least three have been identified and described.
(2) Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of the
speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these words and expression are
well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms
that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speed or writing, but not considered
acceptable for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. Slang, refers to
words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as appropriate formal usage by
the majority.
(3) Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified.
Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than writing. Colloquial speech often passes into
standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary
popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases, the majority never

accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories. Every generation seems to
require its own set of words to describe familiar objects and events.
(4) It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the
creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and situations in
the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third, association among the subgroups
and the majority population.
(5) Fmally, it is worth noting that the terms "standard", "colloquial", and "slang" exist only as abstract labels
for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware that they are
using colloquial or slang expressions. Most speakers of English will, during appropriate situations, select and use
three types of expressions.

Question 4: How is "slang" defined by the author?
A. Words and phrases accepted by the majority of formal usage.
B. Words or phrases understood by the majority but not found in standard dictionaries.
C. Words or phrases that are understood by a restricted group of speakers.
D. Words or phrases understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as formal Question 5: Where in

A. does not approve of either slang or colloquial speech in any situation
B. approves of slang and colloquial speech in appropriate situations
C. approves of colloquial speech in some situations, but not slang

D. does not approve of colloquial usage in writing Question 10: What does the author mean by the statement:
"Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of
a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations.'"?
A. Informal language contains colloquialisms, which are not found in more formal language.

(1) Course numbers are an indication of which courses are to various categories of students at the
University. Undergraduate courses with the numbers 100 or 200 are generally introductory courses appropriate for
freshmen or sophomores, whereas courses with the numbers 300 or 400 often have prerequisites and are often to
juniors and seniors only. Courses with the numbers 800 or above are open only to graduate students. Certain
graduate courses, generally those devoted to introductory material, are numbered 400 for undergraduate students
who qualify to take them and 600 for graduate students. Courses designed for students seeking a professional
degree carry a 500 number for undergraduate students and a 700 number for graduate students. Courses numbered
99 or below are special interest courses that do not carry academic credit. If students elect to take a special interest
course, it will not count toward the number of hours needed to complete graduation requirements.
(2) Full-time undergraduate student is expected to take courses that total twelve to eighteen credit hours. A
full-time graduate student is expected to take courses that total ten to sixteen credit hours. Student holding
assistantships are expected to enroll for proportionately fewer hours. A part- time graduate may register for
minimum of three credit hours. An overload, that is, more than the maximum number of hours, may be taken with
the approval of an academic advisor. To register for an overload, students must submit the appropriate approval
form when registering. Overloads above 24 hours will not be approved under any circumstances.

ACADEMICS AREN'T THE PROBLEM
Studies about how students use their time might shed light on whether they face increased academic and financial
pressures compared with earlier eras.
Based on data about how students are spending time, academic or financial pressures don't seem to be greater now
than a generation ago.
The data show that full-time students in all types of colleges study much less now than they did a generation
ago - a full 10 hours a week less. Students are also receiving significantly higher grades. So it appears that
academic pressures are, in fact, considerably lower than they used to be.
The time-use data don't suggest that students feel greater financial pressures, either. When the time savings
and lower opportunity costs are factored in, college appears less expensive for most students than it was in the
1960s. And though there are now full-time students working to pay while in college, they study less even when
paid work choices are held constantly.
In other words, full-time students do not appear to be studying less in order to work more. They appear to be
studying less and spending the extra time on leisure activities or fun. It seems hard to imagine that students feeling
increased financial pressures would respond by taking more leisure.
Based on how students are spending their time then, it doesn't look as though academic or financial pressures
are greater now than a generation ago. The time-use data don't speak directly to social pressures, and it may well be
that these have become more intense lately.
In one recent set of data, students reported spending more than 23 hours per week either socializing with friends or
playing on the computer for fun. Social activities, in person or on computer,

would seem to have become the major focus of campus life. It is hard to tell what kinds of pressures would be
associated with this change.
Question 1: The study's conclusion that students' workload now is not greater than before is based

C. academic workload appears less demanding D. college's facilities are much better Question 4: According to
the author, the fact that students have more time for leisure is a proof that .
A. financial pressure on students is not a problem
B. academic work disinterests them
C. they are active with extra-curricular activities
D. they cannot find extra jobs
Question 5: All factors considered, college now seems ______________ .
A. more costly B. ever more expensive
C. much more expensive D. less expensive
Question 6: According to the author, the fact that more full-time students are working for

(1) It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said
that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and education
implied by this remark is important.

(2) Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits. It can
take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on the tractor. It includes both
the formal learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent (doer) of
education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio , from a child to
a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A
chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People
receive education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it is a lifelong process, a
process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one's entire life.
(3) Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from
one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the assigned
seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces of reality that
are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of governments, have been
limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high school students know that thev are not likely to find out in
their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmarkers are experimenting
with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
Question 1: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The best school teach a wide variety of subjects
B. Education and schooling are quite different experiences
C. Students benefit from schools, which require long hours and homework
D. The more years students go to school, the better their education is
Question 2: In the passage, the expression "children interrupt their education to go to school" mostly implies that
_______________.
A. schooling prevents people discovering things
B. schooling takes place everywhere
C. all of life is an education
D. education is totally ruined by schooling
Question 3: The word "all-inclusive" in the passage mostly means _____________________ .
A. including every thing or everyone B. going in many directions
C. involving many school subjects D. allowing no exceptions
Question 4: According to the passage, the doers of education are _______________ .
A. only respected grandparents B. mainly politicians
C. mostly famous scientists D. almost all people
Question 5: What does the writer mean by saying "education quite often produces surprises"?
A. It's surprising that we know little about other religions.
B. Educators often produce surprises.
C. Informal learning often brings about unexpected results.
D. Success of informal learning is predictable.
Question 6: Which of the following would the writer support?
A. Our education system needs to be changed as soon as possible.
B. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.

C. Schooling is of no use because students do similar things every day.

D. Without formal education, people won't be able to read and write. Question 7: The word "they" in the last
paragraph refers to _________________________________________ .
A. newest filmmarker^w" B. political problems:.^* ®
C. workings of governments D. high school students
Question 8: Because the general pattern of schooling varies little from one setting to the next, school
children throughout the country _____ .
A. are taught by the same teachers B. have the same abilities C. do similar things D. have similar study conditions
Question 9: From the passage, we can infer that a high school teacher _________ .
A. is free to choose anything to teach
B. is not allowed to teach political issues
C. is bound to teach programmed subjects
D. has to teach social issues to all classes

questions.
We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their
knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages instreaming pupils. It does not
take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the
bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top
grade! tloon*

Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect
of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their
academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching
contributes to all these aspects of learning^ ^
In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the opportunity
to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with the personal
problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, to communicate effectively.
The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes the
work on individual tasks and assignments, they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class
teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need
in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced works; it does not matter what age the child is.
We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.
Question 1: In the passage, the author's attitude towards "mixed-ability teaching" is ______________
A. questioning B. approving C. objective D. critical
Question 2: The phrase "held back" in paragraph 1 means __________ .
A. prevented from advancing B. forced to study in lower class
C. made to remain in the same classes D. made to lag behind
Question 3: The author argues that a teacher's chief concern should be the development of the pupils'
A. learning ability and communicative skills B. intellectual abilities

C. total personality D. personal and social skills
Question 4: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Group work provides the pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers
B. Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities
C. Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others
D. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning ability
Question 5: The author's purpose of writing tins passage is to ______________
A. recommend pair work and group work classroom activities
B. offer advice on the proper use of the school library
C. argue lor teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class.
D. emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching Question 6: According to the
passage, which of the following is NOT true?
Development of pupils as individuals is not the aim of group work
Pupils cannot develop in the best way if they are streamed into classes of different intellectual abilities
It's not good for a bright child to find out that he performs worst in a mixed-ability class
There is no fixed method in teaching pupils to develop themselves to the full
Question 7: According to the passage, which of the following is an advantage of mixed-ability teaching?
A. Formal class teaching is the important way to give pupils essential skills such as those to be used in the
library.

questions.
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.
Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language
barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas.
Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole
words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A
wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the
head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the
fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warm, and
instruct people.

While verbalization is most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human
thoughts and feelings.
Question 1: Which of the following best summarizes this passage?
A. Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners

Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an
illness or accident does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people,
such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of
playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat. Plants age too, but
the signs are much harder to detect.
Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood. They reach their
peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood. After that, they begin to decline. Bones, for example, gradually
become lighter and more brittle. In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible.
This can make moving very painful.
All the major organs of the body show signs of aging. The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and even
gets smaller in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old people often have trouble in
remembering recent events.
One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the heart.
They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body. This condition accounts,
directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged. It may, for example, result in heart attack.
Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at different rates. There are great
differences among people in their rate of aging. Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age. The majority
of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime. Nerve cells and muscle
fibers can never be replaced once they wear out.
Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging-believe this wearing out of the body is controlled by
a built-in biological time-clock. They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the
process. This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years.
Question 1: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Signs of aging are easier to detect in animals than in plants.
B. Aging occurs in every living thing after it has reached maturity.
C. Not all signs of aging are visible.
D. The outward signs of aging may be seen in old people Question 2:
What does the word "it" in line 2 refer to ___________________________ ?
A. aging B. a living thing C. an illness D. an accident Question 3: All of the followings may be the
outward signs of aging EXCEPT _____________________________________________________ .
A. the graying of the hair B. the wrinkling of the skin
C. the decline in hearing and eyesight D. the loss of appetite
Question 4: When does the human body begin to lose vigor and the ability to function efficiently?

Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy diet. They provide the main source of
energy for the body, and they also function to flavor and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates range from simple sugars
like glucose to complex sugars such as amylose and 5 amylopectin. Nutritionists estimate that carbohydrates
should make up about one-fourth to one-fifth of a person's diet. This translates to about 75-100 grams of
carbohydrates per day.
A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect 10 on a person's health. When the body
lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrates it must then use its protein supplies for energy, a process called
gluconeogenesis. This, however, results in a lack of necessary protein, and further health difficulties may occur. A
lack of carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis, a build-up of ketones 15 in the body that causes fatigue, lethargy, and
bad breath. Question 1. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Carbohydrates are needed for good health.

Alzheimer's disease impairs a person's ability to recall memories, both distant and as recent as a few hours
before. Although there is not yet a cure for the illness, there may be hope for a cure with a protein called nerve
growth factor. The protein is produced by nerve cells in the same region of the brain where Alzheimer's occurs.
Based 011 tins relationship, scientists from the University of Lunch 111 Sweden and the University of California at
San Diego designed an experiment to test whether doses of nerve growth factor could reverse the effects of memory
loss caused by Alzheimer's. Using a group of rats with impaired memory, the scientists gave half of the rats doses of
nerve growth factor while giving the other half a blood protein as a placebo, thus creating a control group. At the
end of the four- week test, the rats given the nerve growth factor performed equally to rats with normal memory
abilities. While the experiments do not show that nerve growth factor can stop the general process of deterioration
caused by Alzheimer's, they do show potential as a means to slowing the process significantly.

Thanks to our modern lifestyle, with more and more time spent sitting down in front of computers than ever
before, the number of overweight people is at a new high. As people frantically search for a solution to this
problem, they often try some of the popular fad diets being offered. Many people see fad diets as innocuous ways
of losing weight, and they are grateful to have them. Unfortunately, not only don't fad diets usually do tlie hick,
they can actually be dangerous for your health.
Although permanent weight loss is the goal, few are able to achieve it. Experts estimate that 95 percent of
dieters return to their starting weight, or even add weight. While the reckless use of fad diets can bring some initial
results, long-term results are very rare.
Nonetheless, people who are fed up with the difficulties of changing their eating habits often turn to fad diets.
Rather than being moderate, fad diets involve extreme dietary changes. They advise eating only one type of food,
or they prohibit other types of foods entirely. This results in a situation where a person's body doesn't get all the
vitamins and other tilings that it needs to stay healthy.
One popular fad diet recommends eating lots of meat and animal products, while nearly eliminating
carbohydrates. A scientific study from Britain found that this diet is very high in fat. According to the study, the
increase of damaging fats in the blood can lead to heart disease and, in extreme cases, kidney failure. Furthermore,
diets that are too low in carbohydrates can cause the body to use its own muscle for energy. The less muscle you
have, the less food you use up, and the result is slower weight loss.
Veteran dieters may well ask at tins point, "What is the ideal diet?" Well, to some extent, it depends on the
individual. A United States government agency has determined that to change your eating habits requires changing
your psychology of eating, and everyone has a different psychology. That being said, the British study quoted
above recommends a diet that is high in carbohydrates and high in fiber, with portions of fatty foods kept low.
According to the study, such a diet is the best for
people who want to stay healthy, lose weight, and keep that weight off. And, any dieting program is best undertaken
with a doctor's supervision Question 1: What is the author's mam point?
A. Reckless fat dieting probably takes weight off the fastest.
B. Most people shouldn't tiy to lose weight
C. High-protein diets can make you sick.

D. Fad diets are ineffective and unsafe; high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets are best. Question 2:
According to the passage, why are there more overweight people nowadays?
A. They are using fad diets.
B. They spend a lot of time in front of computers.
C. They have heart disease.
D. They are eating more protein than ever before.
Question 3: After losing weight by dieting, what usually happens to people?
A. they have kidney failure
B. they gain weight back again
C. they keep the weight off
D. they have less muscle
Question 4: Which of the following best expresses the essential information in paragraph 3?
A. Fed up people turn to fad diets, which, being too extreme, don't give the body everything it needs.
B. People are fed up with fad diets and turn to diets which provide what the body needs.
C. People prefer fad dieting to moderate dieting because it requires fewer foods to give the body what it needs.
D. Fad diets give fed up people the moderate dietary changes they need to get all the required vitamins.
Question 5: Which is not mentioned as an effect of the meat and animal product diet?
A. heart disease
B. slower weight loss
C. psychological changes
D. kidney failure
Question 6: According to the passage, why does the ideal diet depend in the individual?
A. The less muscle you have, the less food you use up.
B. Everyone can gain weight back.
C. Everyone has a different psychology.
D. Everyone likes different food.
Question 7: According to the passage, what diet does a British study recommend?
A. a meat and animal product diet
B. a diet high in carbohydrates, low in fiber, and high in fat.
C. a fad diet but with healthier foods.
D. a diet high in carbohydrates, low in fiber, and low in fat.
Question 8: The word " innocuous" 111 the paragraph 1 can be best replaced by ____________________ .
A. helpful
B. harmless
C. effective
D. beneficial
Question 9: What does the word "this' in paragraph 3 refer to? changing eating habits.
A.
B. that people change their habits.
C. extreme dietary change
D. eating one type of food.
Question 10: What does the writer imply in the last paragraph?
There are many different ways of dieting.

The best way of dieting is psychological.

There is no such a thing called best diet for all.

The diseases related to smoking are a big problems. Doctors think that the annual medical cost for lung cancer,
heart disease, and other illnesses connected to smoking is between 12 and 35 million pounds.
And smoking costs society money in other ways. Between 27 and 61 billion pounds is spent each year 011 sick
days when people don't go to work, 011 wages that you don't get when you don't go to work. And on work lost at the
company when you are sick.
This money counts the wages from people who die of cancer at young age and stop paying taxes. This does not
count fires started by cigarettes, which kill fifteen hundred people yearly and injure another four thousand. Smoking
costs every man, woman and child in the UK from one hundred and ten to two hundred and fifty pounds each year
in the lost work and wages. When you add another fifty to one hundred and fifty pounds yearly in insurance cost,
that comes to one hundred and sixty to four hundred and ten pounds. If everyone stopped smoking, a family of four
could have up to one thousand six hundred and forty pounds a year more.
Smoking will also cause other problems. People who don't smoke will live longer and so they will take more
money from the government when they are old. But they will also work for more years and pay more taxes.

THE BEATLES

been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to imagine how
sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and none of them had
any training in music. They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some
success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular.
The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written
themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own songs.
The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They
stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them - their fans were so excited
that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain

KETCHUP
(1) The sauce that is today called ketchup (or catsup) in Western cultures is a tomato - based sauce that is quite
distinct from Eastern ancestors of this product. A sauce called ke-tjap was in used in China at least as early as the
17th century, but the Chinese version of the sauce was made of picked fish, shellfish, and spices. The popularity
of this Chinese sauce spread to Singapore and Malaysia, where it was called kechap. The Indonesian (5) ketjab
derives its name from the same source of the Malysian sauce but is made from very different ingredients. The
Indonesian ketjab is made by cooking black soy beans, fermenting them, placing them in a salt brine for at least a
week , cooking the resulting solution further, and sweetening it heavily; this process results in a dark, thick and
sweet variation of soy sauce.
Early in the 18th century, sailors from the British navy came across this exotic sauce on voyages to Malaysia
( 1 0 ) and Singapore and brought samples of it back to England on return voyages. English chefs tried to recreate
the sauce but were unable to do exactly because key ingredients were unknown or unavailable in England; chefs
ended up substituting ingredients such as mushrooms and walnuts in an attempt to recreate the special taste of the
original Asian sauce. Variations of this sauce became quite the rage in the 18th century England, appearing in a
number of recipe books and features as an exotic addition to menus from the period.
(15) The English version did not contain tomatoes, and it was not until the end of the 18th century that
tomatoes became a main ingredients in the ketchup of the United States. It is quite notable that tomatoes were
added to the sauce and that tomatoes had previously been considered quite dangerous to health. That tomato had
been cultivated by the Aztecs, who had called it tomalt; however, early botanists had recognized that tomato was
a member of the Solanecaeafamily, which does include a
number of poisonous plant. The leaves of the tomato plant are poisonous, though of course the fruit is
Ailli*
not.

Thomas Jefferson, who cultivated the tomato in his gardens at Monticello and served dishes containing
tomatoes at lavish feasts, often receive credit for changing the reputation of the tomato. Soon after Jefferso had
introduced the tomato to American society, recipes combining the new fashionable tomato with the equally
fashionable and exotic sauce known as ketchap began to appear. By the middle of the 19th century, both of the
tomato From tomato ketchup, Heizn branched out into a number of other products, including various sauces,
pickles, and relishes. And tomato ketchup were stables of the American kitchen.

Read the below passage and choose the correct letter A, B, C or D for each of the questions.
hqo Television
fki
A11 American TV network has had an international hit with the drama "24", a thriller known for its suspense
and often graphic violence. Over the past year, controversy has surrounded the series because of its portrayal of
Muslim terrorists and its frequent scenes of torture. But the content of "24" is not the only thing that would have
been unthinkable 011 prime-time television 20 years ago. Its form also represents a major change in modem TV:
during each episode's 44 minutes - a real-tune hour,
minus 16 minutes for commercials - the show connects the lives of 21 different characters, each with
fljj §3
their own personalities and specific relationships with other characters. Nine different story lines (or "threads") are
depicted, each involving events and information revealed in previous episodes. [ I ]
[2] For years many people have assumed that popular culture is in a state of decline rapidly degenerating
into "junk culture" with 110 worthwhile purpose. But an interesting new book challenges that assumption.
"Everything Bad is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter," by Steven
Johnson, makes a persuasive argument that today's complex TV dramas and other pop culture Products gives
healthy mental exercise. He calls the use or complex, interwoven plot lines involving multiple characters
"multi-threading", and it is a new and growing phenomenon 111 TV To keep up with shows like "24", he points out,
you must "pay attention, make inferences, track shifting social relationships", and these cognitive challenges are
changing our mental development for the better. [3]
[4] The most obvious change in the last five years of narrative entertainment is the rise of reality TV, Surely,
you might be thinking, watching "Survivor" or "The Bachelor" cannot possibly raise anyone's IQ, "Survivor" is
now 111 its tenth season, and "The Bachelor" is 111 its seventh. But as Johnson tells us lately "even the junk has
improved". The new reality shows are like games: they are series of
competitive tests, each more challenging than the last, and with rules that must be learned as you play.
f*p
On "Survivor" for instance, the participants and the audience know the general objective of the game but each
episode brings new challenges that require quick thinking. Success in these games calls for the intellectual labor of
finding the weak spots in the rules and in your opponents. This labor is done not just by the stars of the shows but
the viewers at home as well. This is what makes these shows such fun to watch - the human mind enjoys being
challenged. As Johnson writes, "There's real pleasure ... in solving puzzles, detecting patterns or understanding a
complex narrative system." Question 1: What is the topic of the passage?
A. The decline of TV today B. Benefits of TV today

De bai doc 29:
the decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the United States is a great collection
displayed in a great country house. Passing through successive generations of a single family, Winterthur has been
a private estate for more than a century. Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929 and 1931, the
house remained a ( 5 ) family residence. This fact is of importance to the atmosphere and effect of the museum. The
impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor: the rooms look as if they were vacated only a short while
ago whether by the original owners of the furniture or the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of
personal interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of furniture and architectural
elements has been assembled. Like an English country house, U is an organic structure; the house, as well as the
collection and ( 1 0 ) manner of displaying it to the visitor, has changed over the years. The changes have coincided
with develoyins concepts of the American arts, increased knowledge on the part of collectors and students, and a
progression toward the achievement of a historical effect in period-room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have
followed this current, yet still retained the character of a private house.
( 2 ) The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years in an effort to
( 1 5 ) present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would give them more meaning
for the viewer. Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history museum, the period room represents the
decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble objects related by style,
date, or place of manufacture.

B. Elements that make Winterthur an unusual museum.

(lines 5-6)?
A. Winterthur is very old.

D. The furniture at Winterthur looks comfortable.

PANDEMIC DISEASES > to indicate the co,
Diseases are a natural part of life on earth. If there were no jiooft diseases, the population
would grow too quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources, so in a
way, diseases are natural ways of keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread
very quickly and kill large numbers of people. For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world,
killing over 25 million people in only six months. Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics.
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In 1918, a new
type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and killed
large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them
have a new thing in common. First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily.
Second, while they may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of
this would be the Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly.
About 70 -80% of all people who get the Marburg virus died from the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not
become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease. This means that the virus does
not have enough time to spread a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took
about a week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread.
While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common. Doctors
carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in 2002,

and 2003, doctors carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a
pandemic.
Question 1: According to paragraph 1, how are diseases a natural part ot lite on Earth? A. They prevent
pandemics B. They help control the population C. They led the world grow quickly D. They kill too many people
Question 2: Based on the information in the passage the term "pandemics" can be explained as _____________
A. diseases with no cure
B. a deadly kind of flu
C. diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of people
D. new disease like SARS or the Marburg virus Question 3: According to the passage, what
causes pandemics?
A. Changes in a disease that body cannot fight
noon*
B. Careless doctors who do not watch the spread of disease
C. Population growth that the world cannot support
D. The failure to make new medicines
Question 4: According to the passage, all of the following are true of the 1918 flu pandemic EXCEPT that
_________
A. it involved a new kind of flu virus B. it killed over 25 million people
C. it was the last pandemic in history D. it took a little over a week to kill its victims
Question 5: The word "it" in the passage refers to __________
A. disease B. flu virus C. pandemics D. bodies
Question 6: Which of the following is mentioned as a common feature of all pandemic diseases?
A. They spread from people to people very quickly
B. It kill many people very quickly
C. They do not kill people very quickly
D. They kill all the victims
Question 7: According to paragraph 3, why hasn't Marburg virus become a pandemic?
A. It is not a deadly disease

ENDING CHLD LABOUR

Carefully guiding a needle that's longer than his tiny fingers, a young boy stitched together the leather pieces
of a soccer ball. He sits crouched in the corner of a hot, airless shed for 12 hours. For his long day's work, he will
earn 60 cents.
The boy is one of more than 200 million children who work at hard, sometimes dangerous jobs all over the
world. Child labor exists in two-thirds of the world's nations. From Indonesia to Guatemala, poor children as
young as 6 are sent off to work. Often they are mistreated and punished for not working hard enough. Children
mix the gunpowder for firecrackers in China and knot the threads for carpets in India—all for pennies a day.
Sometimes they are sold as slaves.
In a speech to the Child Labor Coalition when he was U.S Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich expressed gratitude
for the organization's work to end abuse of child labor, "You turned lip the heat, and you got results." He also
congratulated Craig Kielburger, then 13, of Canada, who traveled the world for a year fighting for kids' rights.
Craig believes kids can make a difference. He offers tins advice. "Write letters

to companies and government officials. Put pressure on leaders to make changes and to stop the misuse of
children."
One solution to the child-labor problem in poor countries is education. "The future of these countries,"
Secretary Reich told TFK, "depends on a work force that is educated. We are prepared to help build schools."
Education is helping to make the world a brighter place for 12-year-old Aghan of India. When he was 9,
Aghan was kidnapped from his home and sold to a carpet maker. Aghan's boss was very cruel. "I was always
crying for my mother," he recalls. Aghan's dream was to learn to write so that he could send letters to his parents.
Earlier this year, Aghan was rescued from the factory by a group that opposes child labor. Today he is living in a
shelter in New Delhi and is hard at work—learning to write. Question 21: What is an example of dangerous work

(1) European citizens are concerned about the state of the environment. They want their children and
grandchildren to have the same right as we have to clean air, clear water and green forests. The European Union
(EU) shares these concerned and has accepted the principle of sustainable development. Since 1992, the focus of
EU environmental policy has been to match production and consumption patterns to what our environment can
sustain in the long term. Climate change and the depletion of the ozone layer are two instances where the limits of
sustainability may have been exceeded. Pre-1992, EU environmental policy concentrated on corrective action. This
was not always successful, partly because there was no integrated approach between environmental protection and
economic activities in other sectors which went on harming the environment. Now the EU promotes partnership and
shared responsibility to prevent and where possible, reverse environmental degradation. It seeks from a coalition of
government, industry and consumers a commitment to conserve resources, to re-use and recycle old products, to
dispose of waste safely and develop environment-friendly energy sources. As pollution knows no frontiers, the EU
sees its policy as part of a global strategy to save the environment for future generations.
(2) We are engaged in a race against time. The need for a pro-active policy to protect the environment is
universally recognized in Europe and elsewhere. [V
(3) Social progress and economic prosperity have depended on activities which deplete the earth's
resources and cause pollution. The products we need and the vital services we use - from

transportation to health-care systems - use these resources and create waste and pollution as byproducts.
(4) Historically our planet's remarkable regenerative capacity was able cope with the environmental impact of
human activity. But this capacity is now stretched beyond its limit. The two need to be brought back into balance as
quickly as possible as our environment is threatened in many, often interrelated ways. [... ]

activities.

Your next car may be electric. We look at the technologies that will bring the revolution.
(1) The main reasons why electric cars are not more popular at present are their price and their relatively
small range. Existing battery systems only allow electric cars to travel a distance of between 100 and 160 km.
However, this distance may not be a problem for urban drivers. A recent Sydney study reported that 70 percent of
journeys were 30 km or less, and recent data from the US suggests that 77 percent of trips taken there are 48 km or
less.
(2) An innovative company called Better Place is aiming to make electric car an option for all drivers. It
wants to see existing vehicles replaced by electric vehicles which, it says, offer a number of benefits. Firstly, they
can be powered by renewable energy which produces zero emissions. What is more, electric motors are more
efficient and can convert more than 90 percent of power into movement, whereas the efficiency of diesel or petrol
engines is less than 20 percent. To achieve its aim, Better Place plans to use technology which is already available.
(3) The plan is simple but revolutionary. It starts with the installation of a home charge point, and through
this, the vehicle will be plugged into the electricity grid whenever it is in the garage, typically at night. In the
morning, with the fully charged battery, the car is capable of as much as 160 km in urban motoring conditions. In
addition to the home charge point, the battery can be topped up by charge point as work and at supermarkets.
(4) The battery is linked to a control centre by smart technology inside the vehicle. Better Place can then
ensure that the car is charged with electricity from renewable sources at the cheapest price. For longer trips, a
navigation system directs the driver to the nearest switch station, where the depleted battery can be replaced with a
charged one by a robot within a couple of minutes.

(1) As its name suggests, the acacia ants live in acacia trees, and it chooses the most inaccessible places in
the tree to build its nest. When an ant finds itself on a tree, it will start making a hole beneath one of the thorns, the
sharp needle-like structures growing on the branches. When the hole is big enough, the ant will start a family there.
That family soon grows very large, and when it is a few hundred strong, it will protect the whole tree, from the roofs
up to the leaves, and flowers, by defending against invaders.
(2) Acacia ants ward off not only small animals, like sugar gliders, but also large ones, like goats or
giraffes. As soon as the ants detect an intruder near the tree, they quickly rush toward it and bite it, injecting a toxic
substance into the animal's skin. The substance is not life threatening, but it creates enough pain to make the
intruder look for another tree whose tasty leaves are not so well guarded.
(3) The ants protect the tree because it is in their interest to do so. If a giraffe were to destroy the tree, it
would also mean the demise of the ant's home. Such animals are thus a threat to the ant. But acacia ants do not
frighten away all animals that come near them. Scale insects, for example, are quite welcome, because they produce
a sweet juice the ants enjoy. Some of the ants' food also comes from the acacia tree itself. Acacia trees provide a
kind of oil that is collected by the ants and taken to their nests. It is one of the favorite food of baby ants.

(1) Have you ever wondered where museums get the works and relics that they put on display? If the
museum is sponsored by the government, then the relics were probably collected under special laws that protect
historical treasures related to that country. However, not all museums are sponsored by the government. Sometimes
a private collector decides to set up a museum so that the public can view the works or relics in his or her collection.
Since the 1990s, more and more of these museums set up by private collectors have sprung up in China. Typically,
these private museums are small, but they give visitors the chance to see works and relics not found anywhere else.

Songtang Li is one such collector who has put part of his private collection on display for the public. In
2001, Li opened his museum in an old 18th century house in Beijing. The museum displays some of the best
examples of Chinese folk art he has collected over his lifetime. Many of the pieces in tlie collection are actually
architectural decorations from old houses and buildings around China's capital. Whenever an old building was
being torn down, Li would visit the site to see if there was anything from the building worth rescuing. In this way, Li
managed to accumulate thousands of folk art pieces, some of which are over 1,000 years old.
Li began collecting folk art sculptures when he was young. The first pieces in his collection were two
gate piers that stood in front of his house. The stone piers were carved with historical designs, and Li thought of
them as his two friends. During his childhood, he would sometimes even sit beside them and tell them stories.
When Li was seven, the city told Li's family to get rid of the piers so that the street could be rebuilt. Rather than
throwing them away, Li's father allowed his son to keep them.
Thus began Li's lifetime hobby of visiting demolition sites and collecting pieces of sculpture or
decorative architecture. Anything that he was allowed to take away would end up in his collection. In the late 1970s,
China underwent major economic reforms. At that time, Beijing started widespread demolition and rebuilding
across the city. According to Li, more than ninety percent of the old houses and temples in Beijing have since been
torn down and replaced with modern buildings.
Luckily, all of old Beijing's architectural folk art has not been lost. Visitors to the Songtangzhai Folk
Sculpture Museum can view some of the best relics Li rescued over the years. Question 1: What can be the best title

A. "A great collector and his museum"

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.
(1) Most people know that a balanced diet and regular exercise are very important. However, most people
do not know how to exercise properly. Instead of concentrating on how to get the best results efficiently and
effectively, people usually rush through their workouts, or they make the same common workout mistakes.
(2) Exercising the right way is important for people who are worried about their health and their
appearance. However, if someone is not working out properly, it is rare that he or she will see the results he or she
wants. Therefore, training experts have devised tips to teach people how to exercise correctly in order to achieve
the greatest health benefits. If you want to achieve the best workout results, here are a few helpful tips to bear in
mind.
(3) One of the most common workout mistakes is doing the same routine over and over again. This does not
challenge your muscles, and it can actually prevent muscles from growing and repairing themselves. Instead of
always sticking to the same old workout, it is important to change your routine every six to eight weeks. It is also
important to add a variety of workouts to your routine, such as swimming, yoga, or biking to make sure your whole
body stays fit. This will help make your workouts more interesting, and benefit your health and muscle
development as well.
(4) Another mistake people tend to make is to work out too hard, too often. Your body needs to rest between
workouts. Otherwise, no progress will be made. It is best to keep the number of hard workout routines to no more
than two per week. Then, for those who don't want to get off schedule by

skipping a day, shorter workouts of about twenty minutes can be used on other days. For more variety in workouts,
you could also plan an easier routine for forty to sixty minutes between days of shorter, more intense workouts.
Experts recommend, however, taking at least one day off completely each week, especially after several hard
workout days in a row.
(5) In reality, no one is perfect. However, if you want to make a difference in your overall health, there are
some things you can do. Stretch before and after every workout. Do not rush your routine and do not work out too
little or too much. Remember not to make these common workout mistakes, and always have fun while exercising!

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.
(1) In early 1976, Mau Piailug, a fisherman, led an expedition in which he sailed a traditional
Polynesian boat across 2,500 miles of ocean from Hawaii to Tahiti. The Polynesiar Voyaging Society had
organized the expedition. Its purpose was to find out if seafarers in the distant past could have found their way from
one island to the other without navigational instruments, or whether the islands had been populated by accident. At
the time, Mau was the only man alive who knew how to navigate just by observing the stars, the wind and the sea.
(2) He had never before sailed to Tahiti, which was a long way to the south. However, he understood how
the wind and the sea behave around islands, so he was confident he could find his way. The voyage took him and his
crew a month to complete and he did it without a compass or charts.
(3) His grandfather began the task of teaching him how to navigate when he was still a baby. He showed
him pools of water on the beach to teach him how the behavior of the waves and wind changed in different places.
Later, Mau used a circle of stones to memorize the positions of the stars. Each stone was laid out in the sand to
represent a star.
(4) The voyage proved that Hawaii's first inhabitants came in small boats and navigated by reading the sea
and the stars. Mau himself became a keen teacher, passing on his traditional secrets to people of other cultures so
that his knowledge would not be lost. He explained the positions of the stars to his students, but he allowed them to
write things down because he knew they would never be able to remember everything as he had done.

C. To find out if navigating between islands had been possible in the past.
D. To teach people in the other island how to navigate.

Hibernation is typically linked to seasonal changes that limit food supplies. It is identified by metabolic
suppression, a drop in body temperature, and torpor - a sleep-like state - interspersed with brief bouts of
wakefulness. Though certain species of fish, amphibians, birds and reptiles are known to lie dormant during cold
winter months, hibernation is generally associated with mammals, according to Don Wilson, a curator emeritus of
vertebrate zoology at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
Endothermic mammals — "waim-blooded" animals that generate body heat internally - need a constant
energy source to keep their engines running, Wilson told Live Science. And when that energy source becomes
difficult to find, hibernation can help them weather harsh conditions.
"Duiing times of the year when that energy source is missing - especially in northern climates - one coping
mechanism is to just shut down," he said. "They'll feed heavily duiing the few months when food is plentiful and
build up fat, then go to sleep and live off their fat reserves."
A special type of fat called "brown fat" accumulates in hibernating mammals, Wilson said. Bats that
hibernate develop brown fat on their backs between their shoulder blades, but mammals can also store brown fat in
their bellies and elsewhere in their bodies, Wilson said.
Brown fat goes a long way because the hibernating animal draws on it very slowly, reducing their
metabolism to as little as 2 percent of their normal rate, according to a 2007 study published in the Journal of
Neurochemistry.
Their core body temperature is also greatly reduced. It generally hovers close to the air temperature in the
animal's den but can sometimes fall as low as 27 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 3 degrees Celsius) in Arctic ground
squirrels, according to Kelly Drew, a neurochemist and professor with the Institute of Arctic Biology at the
University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Arctic ground squirrels' bouts of torpor last about two to three weeks, Drew told Live Science, and the
animals rouse "pretty consistently" for about 12 to 24 hours, before resuming their winter sleep. They repeat this
process for up to eight months.
But even though Arctic squirrels maintain a lower body temperature than any other hibernating mammal, the
changes in their bodies overall aren't that different from those that occur in other hibernating mammals, Drew said.
"The quality of mammalian hibernation is similar from bears to hamsters to ground squirrels," Drew said.
"The distmguisliiiig feature is how cold they get." Question 13: What is the main idea of the passage?

GOOD SLEEP HABITS
What should I do in the evening?
Try to go to bed at the same time each night. The body has an internal clock and hormones that control
sleepiness and wakefulness. This clock worLs best if there is a regular sleep routine. When working well, you will
feel sleepy at bed time. Try not to ignore this by staying up, as this is a window of opportunity for sleep. Going to
bed too early can also disturb your sleep. In the hour before going to bed, it is important to have a relaxing sleep
routine. This may include a warm bath, reading quietly or a warm milk drink. Going to the the toilet is important to
avoid having to get up in the night.
Are there things that I should not do in the evening?
Caffeine should be avoided for at least 4 hours before going to bed. This isn't just coffee and tea. It is also
found in colas and soft drinks. Smoking also makes it difficult to go to sleep, so there should be no cigarettes before
going to bed or during the night. Alcohol might help you get to sleep, but it will make it harder to stay asleep. It
makes sleep problems like snoring and sleep apnoea worse as well. Activities that are stimulating should be
avoided in the hour before bed. This includes moderate exercise, computer games, television, movies and important
discussions. Being in brightly lit environments or the blue light of the computer can reduce evening levels of the
sleep-promoting hormone, melatonin. Don't fall asleep on the couch during the evening as it reduces your sleep
pressure and makes it harder to fall asleep when you go to bed.

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.
(1) Over the past 20 years, scientists have been using technology on nature to improve food supplies. They
are producing genetically modified (GM) food by modifying, or changing, the genes of

plants and animals. Genes are the codes in the cell of every living thing that determine the way they look and
grow. In humans, gens determine characteristics such as the color of our eyes and how tall we are. By changing
the genes of plants, scientists can cause crops to produce more, become resistant to pests and disease, and have
more nutritional value. Genetically modified plants can have great benefits by increasing food supplies,
protecting the environment, and even improving nutrition.
(2) How will we feed the growing population? The world's population is expected to exceed 8 billion by
2025. Much of this increase will occur in the cities of developing countries. Unfortunately, food production,
instead of increasing, has decreased over the last ten years. As it is, some 40,000 people die from hunger-related
causes every day. The only way to increase food production seems to be through technology, since land and water
are getting scarce. In Africa, millions of people don't have enough food to eat and are dying because drought has
destroyed their food supply. If GM food crops could be developed that could resist drought or grow in poor, dry,
or salty soils, this would help poorer countries.
(3) GM crops can protect the environment because they are kinder to nature. Many farmers today depend
on chemical such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers to make their crops grow. Through gene biology, the
genes of plants can be modified so that they will be disease-resistant and pest-resistant and still produce the same
amount. An example of a pest-resistant crops is maize, which is similar to corn. There is a bacterium in the soil
which produces poison that kills insects, but is it harmless to people. Putting this bacterium gene into maize
plants makes them produce their own poison, which kills the pests that eat them. This is better for the
environment because it reduces the need to spray fields with pesticides and fertilizers.
(4) Genetically modified crops may make food more nutritious by adding genes to produce more
vitamins that the body needs for health and growth. For example, a kind of rice called golden rice has been
genetically modified to contain vitamin A. Regular rice dose not have vitamin A, and some people who live
mostly on rice are missing this important vitamin. This new rice can make a big difference to those people.
Modifying potatoes to contain less starch would make French fries healthier because they would not absorb so
much fat in the cooking. GM vegetables of the future may be produced with added nutrient to help fight heart
disease and cancer. Question 13: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How GM crops are made B. The development of GM crops
C. The advantages of GM crops D. The history of Gm crops
Question 14: What causes 40,000 people to die every day?
A. Food inadequacy B. Diseases related to GM food
C. Diseases related to overpopulation D. Lack of water and land
Question 15: How can GM crops help produce more food?
A. GM crops can grow on less fertile land and in unsupportive weather conditions.
B. GM crops grow faster, so farmers can grow more in the same period of time.
C. GM crops are healthier and people will stay full longer. I
D. GM crops can grow on less soil and water. Question 16: The word "they" in paragraph 3
refers to _____________________________________________

A. genes B. plants C. crops D. farmers

Question 17: According to the passage GM crops ________ .
A. kill other plants B. don't need water to grow
9
C. attract more pest^V D. are environment-friendly
Question 18: The word "absorb" in paragraph 4 is closet in meaning to ________ .
A. release B. reduce C. take in D. set out Question 19: Some crops do not require many pesticides
because they ________________________________________________________ .
A. are poisonous to pests that eat them
B. don't taste good to pests
C. have a bacterium that kills pests
D. grow underground and pests hardly find them
Question 20: Which of the following statements would be the writer probably agree with?
A. GM crops should be promoted for their benefits.
B. GM crops should be developed more in poorer countries.
C. GM crops will soon replace naturally grow crops.
D. GM crops are more nutritious and so more expensive than naturally grown crops. Dap an:

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.
(1) Despite what society might try to tell us, being single doesn't have to be a bad thing - in fact, for some
people, it is even better than being paired up, with researchers finding that single life can impart a whole lot of
benefits that marriage doesn't.
(2) In a recent presentation to the American Psychological Association, psychologist Bella DePaulo,
pointed to evidence that single people can have richer, more meaningful lives than their married counterparts.
One study cited by DePaulo showed that people who are single are often closer to their parents, siblings, friends,
neighbors, and co-workers. Another study showed they had a heightened sense of self-determination, and
demonstrated continued growth and development as an adult. DePaulo is now conducting her own research into
this topic in the hopes of breaking down "singlism" - the stereotype that single people are somehow less worthy
than their married counterparts.
(3) Most people who live alone are young adults who postpone marriage into their last twenties, but some
are in their thirties and forties. One reason they often give for staying single is that they have not met the right
person. Others say that marriage involves too much commitment and responsibility, or that they prefer the single
lifestyle. There are two important sociological for the increase in singlehood. First, the social pressure to get
married has declined. Second, the opportunity for singles to have a good life has expanded. This is especially true
for women. As educational and employment opportunities for women increase, marriage is no longer the only
path to economic security, emotional support, social responsibility, and meaningful work.

A. Living alone among young people
B. Challenges of singlehood
C. The advantages of and the reasons for staying single

C. is mostly done by female researchers
D. is only presented to the American Psychology Association Question 4: The word
"commitment" is closet in meaning to ___________________________ .
A. promises B. health C. finance D. time
Question 5: According to the passage, singles ________ .
A. have a strong bond with their family
B. are not as determined as others
C. are often in their early twenties onwards
