Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers
to become the dominant language of international communication. English as we
know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of
French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s,
English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as
far as two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of
exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus,
small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of
the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary
language of international business, banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems
worldwide is English. Two - thirds of the worlds science writing is in English, and
English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports,
and air traffic controllers - Today there are more than 700 million English users in the
world, and over half of these are nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number
of nonnative users than any other language in the world.

water, fish and game. And because of wind, rain, and evaporation, residues routinely
show up in animals in the remostest parts of the world. For example, if grain fields on
rough lands are sprayed with pesticides, residue can show up in poultry, eggs, milk,
and butter. The end result is that every food we eat carries pesticides as the
inevitable consequence of spraying crops with these poisons. And human exposure

placenta and mothers milk.

Today the most universally known style of trousers for both men and women
is jeans; these trousers are worn throughout the world on a variety of occasions. Also
called levis or denims, jeans have an interesting story.
The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of
pants developed. In the 16 th century, sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore a unique tyle of
cotton trousers. In French, the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that
city is Genes, this name became attached to the trousers and developed into the
word jeans.
Similar to the word jeans, the word denim is also derived from a place name.
In the 17th century, French sailors began making trousers out of a specialized type of
cloth that was developed in the city of Nimes, France and was known serge de
Nimes. This name eventually developed into denim, the material which jeans are
made and an alternative name for these popular pants.
The word levis came from a person. In the 19th century, Levis Strauss tried to sell
heavy canvas to miners taking part in the hunt for gold in northern California. He
intended for this canvas to be used by miners to make heavy-duty tents. This first
attemp was a failure but he later found success when he used the canvas to make
indestructible pants for the miners. He changed the fabric from brown canvas to blue
denim, creating a style of pants that long outlived him and is now referred to by his
name.
61. All of the following are mentioned in the passage about Genoa except that it
A. was the source of the word jeans
B. is in Italy
C. has a different name in French
D. is a landlocked city
62. The word denim was most probably derived from .
A. 2 French words
B. 2 Italian words
C. 1 French word and 1 Italian word
D. 3 French words

63. All of the following are mentioned in the passage about Levis Strauss except that
he ..
A. failed to sell heavy canvas to miners to make tents
B. dyed the cloth from brown to blue
C. made his success in creating a new style of trousers
D. was an immigrant to America
64. To develop the pants for which he became famous, Levis did which of the
following?
A. He studied tailoring in Nimes
B. He used an existing type of material

triangle a three sided figure. Today the word delta means the triangular group of
islands at the mouth of a river.

deposits may themselves be swept away.

In addition to providing energy, fats have other functions in the body. The fatsoluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good
source of these vitamins have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in
the bodys fatty tissues. In the diet, fats cause food to remain longer in the stomach,
thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten.
Fats add variety, taste and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of
fried foods. Fatty deposits in body have an insulating and protective value. The
curves of the human female body are due mostly to strategically located fat deposits.
Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not
definitely known. When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases,
their skin becomes inflamed and scaly and their reproductive systems are damaged.
Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and
hence are called essential fatty acids. They are also required by a number of other
animals, but their roles in human beings are debatable. Most nutritionists consider
linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for humans.

Text 2: In the very distant geological past all animals were aquatic. The very first
vertebrates, or animals with backbones, of which we have any fossil record, lived in
the water. These vertebrates, the fish, were adapted to underwater living. Their
streamlined bodies were covered with scales to reduce surface friction: they had
muscular tails so that they could swim swiftly in such a dense medium as water; and
they were endowed with gills for breathing underwater.
Descendants of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and
accommodated themselves to life on land. As amphibians, they possessed limbs
instead of fins and lungs instead of gills. But they never became completely free of
the bonds that tied them to the water; even today many amphibians return to the
water to lay their eggs.
Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types
of land dwellers appeared; these animals gave rise to the present-day reptiles and
mammals. They were more completely converted for land dwelling, with bodies and
biological activities far different from those of fish. With these special adaptations,
mammals have been able to colonize the woods and meadows, the deserts and high
mountains, often far removed from the sea.

D. inability to breath air
67 Animals found desert living possible only
A. when they became amphibious

25approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising

annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business
Week published The Portable Executive as its cover story a few years ago. Why
hasnt telecommuting become more popular ?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance
on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the
telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too
difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the managers responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are
reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular
interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same
consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some
people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they
never really get away from the office.

TEXT 2.
The three phases of human memory are the sensory memory , the shortterm memory, and the long term memory. This division of the memory into phase is
based on the length of time of the memory.
Sensory memory is instantaneous memory. It is an image or memory that
enters your mind only for a short period of time; it comes and goes in under a
second. The memory will not last longer than that unless the information enters the
short-term memory.

IV. Read The following passage and choose the best answer:
The influenza virus is a single molecule composed of millions of individual
atoms. Although bacteria can be considered a type of plant, secreting poisonous
substances into the body of the organism they attack, viruses, like the influenza virus,
are living organisms themselves. We may consider them regular chemical molecules
since they have strictly defined atomic structure; but on the other hand, we must
consider them as being alive since they are able to multiply in unlimited quantities.
An attack brought on by the presence of the influenza virus in the body
produces a temporary immunity, but, unfortunately, the protection is against only the
type of virus that caused the influenza. Because the disease can be produced by any
one of three types, referred to as A, B, or C, and many strains within each type,
immunity to one virus will not prevent infection by another type or strain.
Approximately every ten years, worldwide epidemics of influenza called
pandemics occur. Thought to be caused by new strains of type-A virus, these
pandemic viruses have spread rapidly, inflecting millions of people. Epidemics or28

or as long as you are actively using it.If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will stay

1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent
screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied
by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band,
or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines.
Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures
- called 'synchronized sound' began soon after the very first films were shown. With
synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early
as 1896, the newly invented gramophone (may hat), which played a large disc
carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest
disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for
example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed.
This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on
celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on
the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization (s ng b hoa ). Short
feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually
brought us 'talking pictures'.

From the seeds themselves to the machinery, fertilizers and pesticides - The Green
Revolution regimen depend heavily on technology. One (91) alternative , however,
depends much (92) less on technology - organic farming. Many organic farmers use
machinery, but (93) not chemical fertilizers or pesticides. (94) Instead of chemical soil
enrichers, they use animal manure and plant parts not used as food -,natural,organic
fertilizers that are clearly a renewable (95) source . Organic farmers also use
alternatives (96) to pesticides; for example they may rely on natural predators of
certain insect pests. (97) If the need arises, they can buy the eggs and larvae of
these natural predators and introduce them into their crop fields. They use (98) other
techniques to control pests as well, like planting certain crops together because one
crop repels the other's pests. Organic farmers do not need a lot of land;(99) in fact
organic farming is perfectly (100) suited to small farms and is relatively inexpensive.

The fourth letter of the Greek alphabet was named delta. Its sign was a
triangle a three sided figure. Today the word delta means the triangular group of
islands at the mouth of a river.
Delta are formed by the rivers themselves. Large rivers may carry sand and fine soil
as they sweep towards their mouths. Near their outlets, rivers usually slow, and can
less easily carry their burdens. Sand and silt are dropped when rivers enter a larger
body of water. Not all rivers form delta. Ocean currents may be strong enough to
sweep the river water away before sand and silt are deposited. Or the deposits may
themselves be swept away.
The fertile soil of the Nile delta has made it famous. Mans history in this delta dates
back for thousands of years.

Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and
animals for his own use. This not only provided more abundant food but also allowed
more people to live on a smaller plot of ground. We tend to forget that all of our
present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed
into the forms we know today.
As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans
began to organise their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history.
One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants for drugs and
medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this
respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that
resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ, Thus, an extract
made from a heart-shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart
problems.
Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the
rudiments of our present knowledge of drugs and their uses.
46. What does this passage mainly discuss?
A. Cures from plants.
B. The beginning of natural history. C. Prehistoric
man.
D. Early plants and animals.
47. Domestication of plants and animals probably occurred because of .

D. the desire of prehistoric man to
be nomadic

A. providing food for man
B. mans domestication of plants and
animals
C. mans ability to live on a small plot of land D. the earliest condition of
prehistoric man
49. The word blossomed is closest in meaning to ..
A. produced flowers
B. changed
C. learned
D. flourished
50. An herbalist is which of the following?

B. An early historian. C. Someone who uses plants
in medicine. D. A farmer.
51. The phrase in this respect refers to
A. the development of human culture
B. the development of the field of
natural history
C. the use of plants for drugs and medicine D. the origin of knowledge of nature
52. The word extract is closest in meaning to ..

Simply being bilingual doesnt qualify someone to interpret. Interpreting is
not only a mechanical process of converting one sentence in language A into the
same sentence in language B. Rather, its a complex art in which thoughts and
idioms that have no obvious counterparts from tongue to tongue _ or words that have
several meanings must be quickly transformed in such a way that the message is
clearly and accurately expressed to the listener.
At one international conference, an American speaker said, You cant make a silk
purse out of a sows ear, which meant nothing to the Spanish audience. The
interpretation was, A monkey in a silk dress is still a monkey _ an idiom the Spanish
understood and that expressed the same idea.
There are 2 kinds of interpreters, simultaneous and consecutive. The former,
sitting in a separated booth, usually at a large multilingual conference, speaks to
listeners wearing headphones, interpreting what a foreign language speaker
says actually a sentence behind. Consecutive interpreters are the ones most
international negotiations use. They are employed for smaller meetings without
sound booths and headphones. Consecutive interpretation also requires two-person
teams. A foreign speaker says his piece while the interpreter, using a special
shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was said.
56. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the scope of interpreting. B. To differentiate between simultaneous
and consecutive interpreters.
C. To state the qualifications of an interpreter. D. To point out the importance of
an interpreter.
57. The author implies that most people have the opinion that the skill of interpreting
is ..
A. simpler than it really is
B. very complex and demanding
C. highly valued and admired
D. based on principles of business
58. The example You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear is used to.
A. show the differences in language A and language B
B. stress the importance of word for word translation
C. emphasize the need for translation of the meaning of what is said
D. point out the difference in attributes of animals in English and Spanish
59. A precondition of being a translator is ..
A. being a linguist B. being bilingual C. being able to use high-tech
equipment D. working well with people
60. Which of the following would a consecutive interpreter be used for?
A. A business transaction between 2 foreign speakers.
B. A large meeting
of
many
nations.

C. A translation of a foreign book.

Reducing your intake of sweet foods is one way to keep your teeth healthy.
The least cavity-causing way to eat sweets is to have them with meals and not
between. The number of times you eat sweets rather than the total amount determine
how much harmful acid the bacteria in your saliva produces. But the amount of
sweets influences the quantity of your saliva. Avoid, if you can, sticky sweets that
stay in your mouth a long time. Also try to brush and floss your teeth after eating
sugary foods. Even rinsing your mouth with water is effective. Whenever possible,
eat foods with fiber, such as raw carrot sticks, apples, etc... that scrape off plaque,

In addition to providing energy, fats have other functions in the body. The fatsoluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good
source of these vitamins have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in

the bodys fatty tissues. In the diet, fats cause food to remain longer in the stomach,
thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten.
Fats add variety, taste and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity
of fried foods. Fatty deposits in body have an insulating and protective value. The
curves of the human female body are due mostly to strategically located fat deposits.

their skin becomes inflamed and scaly and their reproductive systems are damaged.
Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and

animals, but their roles in human beings are debatable. Most nutritionists consider

Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in
1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent
screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied
by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band,
or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines.
Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures
- called 'synchronized sound' began soon after the very first films were shown.
With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As
early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone (may hat), which played a large disc
carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest
disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for
example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed.
This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on
celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed
on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization (s ng b hoa ).
Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system
eventually brought us 'talking pictures'.

From the seeds themselves to the machinery, fertilizers and pesticides - The Green
Revolution regimen depend heavily on technology. One (91) alternative , however,
depends much (92) less on technology - organic farming. Many organic farmers use
machinery, but (93) not chemical fertilizers or pesticides. (94) Instead of chemical
soil enrichers, they use animal manure and plant parts not used as food
-,natural,organic fertilizers that are clearly a renewable (95) source . Organic farmers
also use alternatives (96) to pesticides; for example they may rely on natural
predators of certain insect pests. (97) If the need arises, they can buy the eggs and
larvae of these natural predators and introduce them into their crop fields. They use
(98) other techniques to control pests as well, like planting certain crops together
because one crop repels the other's pests. Organic farmers do not need a lot of land;
(99) in fact organic farming is perfectly (100) suited to small farms and is relatively
inexpensive. Finally, many organic farmers' average yields compare favorably with
other farmers' yields.
