Probably the most..(1).recognized conversational convention is that

Some..(3)..must be present, otherwise conversations would be continually
breaking down into a disorganized jumble of interruptions and simultaneous talk.
Turn-taking cues are usually quite subtle. People do not simply .(4)..
talking when they are ready to yield the floor. They usually signal in advance that
they are about to conclude. The clues may be semantic So anyway, or Last but
not least,; but more commonly the speech itself can be modified to show that a
turn is about to ..(5).. typically, by lowering its pitch, loudness, or speed.
Body movements and patterns of eye(6)are especially important.
While speaking, we look at any away from our listener in about equal(7);
but as we approach the end of a turn, we look at the listener more steadily.
Listeners are not passive in all of this. Here too there are several ways of
(8) that someone wants to speak next. One way is through an observable
increase in body tension by learning forward or producing an audible intake of
breath. A less subtle approach is simply to..(9) a strategy that may be
tolerated, if the purpose is to ..(10).what the speaker is saying, but that more
usually leads to social disapproval.

(...10...) animals are small.
Question 7: Read the article about endangered species. For questions 1-5, choose
the correct answer: A, B, C or D. (5p)
ENDANGERED SPECIES
In todays world, thousands of plants and animals are in danger of extinction,
and the number of species at risk increases every year. Not all plants or animals
existing in small numbers are endangered as their population may not be decreasing
or threatened. An endangered species is one which is expected to die out within
twenty years unless special measures are taken to protect it.
Endangered animals include blue whales, giant pandas, orangutans,
rhinoceroses, snow leopards, tigers and some species of crocodile. Endangered
plants include some species of cactus. Why are the above species of animal
endangered? There are now legal limits on hunting, but not all species are protected
by law. Even when animals are legally protected. Illegal hunting for fur, tusks and
horns continues. Those animals that are not killed are captured and sent to zoos or
sold as pets. For example, the little blue macaw, a parrot native to Brazil, has been
captured in such numbers for private bird collections that it is almost extinct in the
wild. In addition to this, many species habitats are eliminated when people clear
land in order to build on it, or when they introduce domestic and non-native animals
which overgraze the vegetation and even prey on birds and mammals which are
already at risk of extinction.
Why is it important to save endangered species? Firstly, nature is delicately
balanced, and the extinction of one species may have a serious effect on others.
Secondly, it is the fault of mankind that so many species are endangered, so it is our
responsibility to protect those species while we still can. We must stop the hunting
of wild animals and the destruction of the forests before it is too late. It is worth
making an effort- by saving endangered species we could be saving ourselves.
1. According to the text, ......
A. all plants and animals are expected to die out in 20 years if we dont take
measures to protect them.
B. blue whales have become extinct.
C. more and more species become endangered each year.
D. only animal species are seriously threatened.
2. The author wonders why all the species mentioned are in danger because ......
A. all species are protected by law
B. hunting is not allowed everywhere nowadays.
C. most endangered species are kept in zoos.
D. illegal hunting has been eliminated.
3. The author uses the blue macaw as an example of ......
A. birds captured for the pet trade.
B. a species that has completely died out.
C. a species of birds killed by hunters.
D. birds captured for zoos.

5
4. According to the author introducing domestic, non-native animals ......
A. is not associated with endangered species.
B. is only dangerous in tropical forests.
C. is the only reason why some species habitats are destroyed.
D. may threaten the habitats of some species.
5. Endangered animals .....
A. will definitely die out soon.
B. are an important part of the worlds wildlife.
C. cannot be saved because we need to save ourselves.
D. have a bad effect on others.

may look like simple, however it requires a great deal of practice. There are a
number of different strokes which can to be used while swimming and most people
have their own special preference. The most common stroke is the crawl.
Actually, the crawl wasnt being developed until the early nineteenth century. Its
probably the most easiest stroke. Another one stroke is the back - stroke, which is
used in competition or simply for relaxing. Then there is the butterfly - stroke, which
is quite difficult and used mostly in competition. It resembles the up - and - down
movements of a dolphin. All this, of course, it doesnt mean that it is a sport for the
young only. The elderly and disabled can benefit greatly from swimming. This is

III. Read the passage and choose the best answers to questions below. ( 10 pts )

Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods
only in season. Drying, smoking, and salting could preserve meat for a short time,
but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited, there was
no way to prevent spoilage. But in 1810 a French inventor named Nicolas Appert
developed the cooking-and-sealing process of canning. And in the 1850s an
American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving
milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860s,
but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880, however,
inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans
from tinplate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all time
of the year.
Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to
vary their daily diet. Growing urban population created demand that encouraged
fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars enabled
growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distance and to preserve them
for longer periods. Thus, by the 1890s, northern city dwellers could enjoy southern
and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at
most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled
families to store perishables. An easy means of producing ice commercially had
been invented in the 1870s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand
commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a
fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it
in the 1920s and 1930s.
Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to
eat mainly foods that were heavy in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone
could afford meat. Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously
unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare.
