C. READING (30 points).
I. Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question. (5 points)
People have been playing with marbles for thousands of years. The first marbles
were probably either river stones that happened to be naturally round enough to roll
or, more likely, rounded globs of clay that were baked hardness. Such very old clay
marbles have been found in both Greek and Roman ruins, and quartz spheres have
been dated at around 6000 B.C. Harder and more durable marbles tend to inspire
different kinds of games than soft clay marbles, which crack very easily. So with the
advent of hand rounded and polished marbles made of agate or some other rugged,
igneous rock, the „golden age‟ of marbles and marble play flowered. Stone marbles
began to appear in the early 1800s in what is now the southern part of Germany.
Shortly after, handmade glass marbles appeared in the same part of Europe. For the
next 120 years, marbles and marble playing-there were literally hundreds of games -
flourished in both Europe and America. Marble players developed their own
vocabulary for different sizes and materials of marbles, as well as for the many kinds
of games to be played and the way marbles were used in the games. For example, if
you were going to play a game of Ring-Taw, one of the most popular and enduring
marbles games, you would lag for the first shot, and then knuckle down from the
baulk, trying your best to get a mib or two with your opponent‟s immie.

th
A. in the 18 C. in 6000 B.C
century D. after glass marbles were developed

4. We can infer from the passage that marble playing _ _.
A. is a game only for C. is played according to one set of rules
children D. uses only one kind of marble
B. has many variations in
games

This seeming preposterous idea did not become credible until the late s
nineteenth century when a French doctor actually had found a naked ten- a
year-old boy wandering in the woods. He did not walk erect, could not g
speak intelligibly, or could lie relate to people. He only growled and e
stared of them. Finally the doctor won the boy's confidence and began to b
work with them. After many long years of devoted and patient e
instruction, the doctor was able to have the boy to clothe and feed l
himself, recognize and utter a number of words, as well as write letters o

Mozart, who was born on January 27, 1756 in the Austrian city of Salzburg, was
neither the first nor the last child prodigy, but he was certainly the greatest. He was
born into a moderately prosperous family where his unmatched musical genius made
itself known extremely early.
Mozart began learning to play harpsichord at three and his earliest known work
was composed in 1761 when he was five, the age at which he also first appeared in
public.
From the age of six, when his father took him on the first foreign tour, Mozart
toured the courts and musical centres of Austria, Germany, France, England, Holland,
Switzerland and Italy. It has been
Page 13
calculated that Mozart spent almost a third of his short life - he died at the age of
thirty five – travelling.
As Mozart matured, he continued to tour and give concerts. Mozart also wrote a
lot of operas. His first opera, Mitridate, Re di Ponto, was performed in Milan when
he was 14, and it was the first of many successes in the theatre.
1. How rich was Mozart‟s family?
A. Very rich C. Not very rich
B. As rich as a D. Very poor
financial
2. When did he take the first step into the world of music as a composer?
A. When he was C. When he was fourteen
three D. When he was thirty-five
B. When he was
five

A. He made so much sightseeing C. He toured only
B. He toured the courts and musical D. He did nothing
centres
4. Why is it possible to name Mozart “A travelling composer”?
A. Because he spent almost a third of his C. Because he never travelled.
short life travelling. D. Because he had good imagination.
B. Because he liked travelling a lot.
5. What expression in the passage means “an exceptionally clever child?”
A. A child C. A child prodigy

Maybe you recycle cans, glass, and paper. Do you know that nature recycles, too?
One of the things nature (1) _ is water. Water goes from oceans,
lakes, and rivers into the air. Water falls from the air as (2) _ or snow. Rain
and snow eventually find their way back to the oceans. Nature‟s recycling program
for water is (3) _ the water cycle.
The water cycle has four stages: storage, evaporation, precipitation, and runoff.
Water on Earth gets stored (4) _ oceans, lakes, rivers, ice, and even
underground. Water goes from storage into the atmosphere by a process called
evaporation. When water evaporates, it changes from a liquid (5)
_ a gas, called water vapor. Water vapor goes up into (6) _
atmosphere. Water returns to the Earth as precipitation in rain or snow by changing
into drops of water (7) _ the air gets cold enough. Clouds are collections (8)
_ water droplets. Most precipitation falls into the oceans and goes right back
into storage.
Water that falls on land always flows from (9) _
places to lower ones. This flow is
called runoff. Water from land flows into streams. Streams join together to
make (10) _ and eventually the water flows
into storage in the oceans. Then the water cycle starts all over again.

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 Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next 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 in English. Two-thirds of the world's 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.

A. Anyone can try to make a drink which tastes similar to Coca-Cola. Chemists say
that it consists almost entirely of carbonated water and sugar.
B. In only a few years Coca-Cola became the national drink of the United States.
The shape of the famous bottle was invented in 1961. During the Second World
War, American soldiers drank three million bottles of Coca-Cola a day.
C. Coca-Cola was originally invented by John Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta,
Georgia. In 1886, he created a new kind of medicine to cure tiredness and
headaches.
D. This helped spread the name and flavor of „ Coke‟ all over the world .
E. Then a businessman bought Pemberton‟s recipe for his creation. He did
something to the recipe and made a really refreshing drink that appealed to many
people. Demand for the drink grew.
F. But no one outside the Coca-Cola company has yet discovered what the „magic‟
combination of ingredients is, and a very few people- only seven, have ever
known the secret formula of Coca- Cola. Only two of them are still alive today,
so they never travel on the same aero plane.
G. Today, nearly a hundred million bottles or cans are drunk every day, in one
hundred and fifty-five different countries.
H. It tasted so revolting that just about no one wanted to buy it. In the first year,
Pemberton only made $50 from his creation.

Read the passage and answer the questions that followed, from 21 to 25 (10ps).
People have smoked for a long time now. The tobacco which is used to make
cigarettes was first grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher
Columbus, who discovered America, saw the Indians smoking. Soon the dried leaves
were transported to Europe where smoking began to catch on. In the late 1800s, the
Turk made cigarettes popular.
Cigarette smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which
forms as the tobacco burns, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine,
which is found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases the breathing
rate.
Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The US Public Health Service stated that cigarette
smoking is the cause of lung cancer and several other deadly diseases. The US
government now requires that each package of cigarettes bears a special warning about
the danger of smoking.

If you are invited to someone‟s house in America for dinner , you should bring
a gift , such as a bunch of flowers or a box of chocolates . If you give your host a
wrapped gift , he or she may open it in front of you. Opening a present in front of
the gift-giver is considered polite . It shows that the host is excited about receiving
the gift and want to show his or her appreciation to you immediately. Even if the
host doesn‟t like it , he or she will tell a “white lie” and say how much they like the
gift to prevent the guest from feeling bad.
If your host asks you to arrive at a particular time, you should not arrive
exactly on time or earlier than the expected time, because this is considered to be
potentially inconvenient and therefore rude , as the host may not be ready.

Colors and Emotions

Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just
as important to me as emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so
intimately related?
Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your
emotions, and is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions.
The color that you choose to wear either reflects your current state of being, or
reflects the color or emotion that you need.
The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around
you. Of course they also affect anyone who comes in contract with you, but you are
the one saturated with the color all day! I even choose items around me based on
their color. In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the color or emotion that I
need for the day. So you can consciously use color to control the emotions that you
are exposed to, which can help you to feel better.
Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in
motion; they are meant to move and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the
fastest way to get your energy in motion. Also, flowing energy is exactly what
creates healthy cells in your body. So, the fastest way to be healthy is to be open to
your real feelings. Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit your
emotions.
71. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Colorful clothes can change your mood. B. Emotions and colors are closely
related to each other.
C. Colors can help you become healthy. D. Colors are one of the most exciting.
72. Which of the following can be affected by color?
A. Your need for thrills. B. Your friend's feelings.
C. Your appetite. D. Your mood.
73. According to the passage, what do color, sound, and emotion all have in common?
A. They all affect the cells of the body. B. They are all forms of motion.
C. They are all related to health. D. None of the above.
74. Why does the author mention that color and emotions are both vibrations?
A. to show how color can affect energy levels in the body.
B. because they both affect how we feel.
C. to prove the relationship between emotions and color.
D. because vibrations make you healthy.
75. The phrase "saturated with" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “……………” .
A. bored with B. in need of C. covered with D. lacking in

As far back as 700 B.C, man has talked about children being cared for by wolves.
Romulus and Remus, the legendary twin founders of Rome, were purported to have
been cared for by wolves. It is believed that when a she-wolf loses her litter, she
seeks a human child to take its place.
This seemingly preposterous idea did not become credible until the late nineteen
century when a French doctor actually found a naked ten-year-old boy wandering in
the woods. He did not walk erect, could not speak intelligibly, nor could he relate to
people. He only growled and stared at them. Finally the doctor won the boy‟s
confidence and began to work with him. After many long years of devoted and
patient instruction, the doctor was able to get the boy to clothe and feed himself,
recognize and utter a number of words, as well a write letters and form words.

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the
sea has served the need of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient
way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world‟s
populations live within 80 km of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind
survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be
hoped to supply many of man‟s needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be
developed by man‟s technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been
carried out for nearly 30 years. A lot of valuable minerals exist on the ocean floor
ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The
culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental
people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that
the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a
steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The
development of strong, new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the
year 2050s the problems that prevent us from fully exploiting the food, minerals, and
energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived
through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after, and dying ten years
before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements into a
nation, and he also contributed much to the development of the new state.
At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. He had already received some training as a
printer‟s apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first publication, the
Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do government printing work, which helped
him to rise from his poor background to become a successful entrepreneur. Some of his experience
in business was shared in his famous Poor Richard‟s Almanak, which established his reputation
throughout the American colonies. In another of his works, the Autobiography, which was written
toward the end of his life, he shows the same quiet common sense.
He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with electricity and
lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in improving the
conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia,
including the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical society, and–because he was a
pragmatic man–a fire prevention service. In 1753 he became Postmaster–General of the colonies.
Through this experience he began to develop the idea that the colonies of North America should be
a single nation. Later, he went to London to try to persuade the British government to change the
conditions, especially the taxes, that later led the American colonists into rebellion.
Whatever Benjamin Franklin‟s personal feelings about the rebellion of the American states, he
worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to help
George Washington. After the war he attended the American constitutional congress. This was his
last contribution, for he died later that year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of
the creators of the United States.

People have been playing with marbles for thousands of years. The first marbles were probably
either river stones that happened to be naturally round enough to roll or, more likely, rounded globs of
clay that were baked hardness. Such very old clay marbles have been found in both Greek and Roman
ruins, and quartz spheres have been dated at around 6000 B.C. Harder and more durable marbles tend
to inspire different kinds of games than soft clay marbles, which crack very easily. So with the advent
of hand rounded and polished marbles made of agate or some other rugged, igneous rock, the „golden
age‟ of marbles and marble play flowered. Stone marbles began to appear in the early 1800s in what is
now the southern part of Germany. Shortly after, handmade glass marbles appeared in the same part of
Europe. For the next 120 years, marbles and marble playing-there were literally hundred of games -
flourished in both Europe and America. Marble players developed their own vocabulary for different
sizes and materials of marbles, as well as for the many kinds of games to be played and the way
marbles were used in the games. For example, if you were going to play a game of Ring-Taw, one of
the most popular and enduring marbles games, you would lag for the first shot, and then knuckle down
from the baulk, trying your best to get a mib or two with your opponent‟s immie.
1. The author makes the point in the passage that playing with marbles __________.
A. has been going on since ancient times C. is losing popularity
B. is a relatively recent phenomenon D. is a very expensive pastime
2. According to the passage, which of the following was the least used substance for making marbles?
A. agate B. glass C. rock D. clay
3. It can be inferred from the passage that the use of marbles became very popular in Europe and
America __________.
A. in the 18th century C. in 6000 B.C
B. in the 1970s D. after glass marbles were developed
4. We can infer from the passage that marble playing __________.
A. is a game only for children C. is played according to one set of rules
B. has many variations in games D. uses only one kind of marble
5. We can conclude from lines 11-12 of the passage that the terminology of marble playing is
__________.
A. specialized C. easy to understand
B. used only by children D. derived from an ancient language
II. Read the text and decide which answer (A, B, C or D) best fits each space. (15 points)

LOOKING AFTER THE COUNTRYSIDE
You are going to read an article about a warden working for a conservation organization. Six sentences have
been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (1-6).
The National Trust is an organization whose aim is to conserve the British countryside. Gill Page visits the
Lleyn Peninsula in North Wales and talks to one of the wardens employed by the Trust to look after the beautiful
areas it owns.
Page 71
Common sense. (1) _______. "And you definitely need to good at handling people, because you're continually
dealing with farmers, visitors, conservationists and building firms."
(2)_______. About 80 people applied for the post as National Trust Warden for the Lleyn Peninsula. In the
end, Gareth's local knowledge and farming experience won him the job, despite his lack of formal training.
"I find it particularly helpful that I still farm with my parents and that I can deal with farmers on the same
level and be aware of their problems. (3)_______. His farming life also means he is well able to cope with the
physical demands of the job - erecting fences, planting trees, building walls.
Since he has been with the Trust, Gareth says he has come to understand more about nature conservation.
"When I was a youngster," he recalls, "I used to pick and press flowers, collect butterfly larvae and old birds' nests.
And I thought to myself recently, where would I find all those flowers, the birds' nests the grasshoppers now?
(4)_______. It's not the farmers' fault - they were just doing what the government told them."
Gareth says that, when he started his job, farmers and conservationists were set against each other. Both
sides wanted things done their way. Now they are talking and can see each other's point of view. (5)_______.
Conservation is one of the main aspects of Gareth's work, along with public entry to the Trust's land, tree
planting and maintenance, and meeting the Trust's tenant farmers. "My role is to make sure jobs get finished, with as
little fuss and as economically as possible. What I enjoy most is seeing projects completed, although about half my
time is spent on reports, signing bills and so on."
Gareth is certainly keen on his job and despite never being off duty, he obviously enjoys every minute of his
work, especially talking to the public. (6)_______. "It's the attitude of some people I dislike," he admits. "They just
walk into the area, demand everything, then walk out again as if it's their absolute right. Having to be nice to those
people gets on my nerves!"
But as Gareth says, it's all down to common sense really. So if you've got plenty of that, and you like the
idea of an outdoor job, you might think of applying to become a warden like Gareth - but don‟t expect a job to be
available on the Lleyn Peninsula for a good many years!
A. "Also, they can't take me in about anything!" he says.
B. "We're at the crossroads and there's a small step needed to join them together," says Gareth.
C. Most of them, anyway.
D. That's what a National Trust Warden needs, according to Gareth Roberts.
E. From the first small headland acquired, the Trust now looks after a spectacular range of coast, countryside and
historic landscapes.
F. It's really become clear to me that farming has affected the countryside.
Page 72
G. Gareth was born and bred on the Lleyn Peninsula and worked on his parents' farm until he married.
