answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.
When we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on how they
look. And of course, we too are being judged on our appearance. Undoubtedly, it’s what’s inside that’s important
but sometimes we can send out the wrong signals and so get a negative reaction, simply by wearing
inappropriate clothing.
When selecting your clothes each day, it is therefore important to think about who you’re likely to meet,
where you are going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform. Clearly, on a
practical level, some outfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity and this will dictate your choice
to an extent. However, there’s no need to abandon your individual taste completely. After all, if you dress to
please somebody else’s idea of what looks good, you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not quite yourself.
Some colours bring your natural colouring to life and others can give you a washed-out appearance. Try
out new ones by all means, but remember that dressing in bright colours when you really like subtle neutral
tones or vice versa will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. You know deep down where your own
taste boundaries lie. It may be fun to cross these sometimes, but do take care not to go too far all at once.
Reappraising your image isn’t selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit.
You’ll look better and you’ll feel a better person all round. And if in doubt, you only need to read Professor Albert
Mehrabian’s book Silent Messages, which showed that the impact we make on each other depends 55 percent
on how we look and behave, 38 percent on how we speak, and only seven percent on what we actually say.
(Adapter from “Expert First” by Jan Bell and Roger Gower)
Question 28. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. Choosing Appropriate Business Suits
B. Making Judgements about People’s Appearance
C. Making Your Image Work for You
D. Creating a Professional Image
Question 29. According to paragraph 1, people can get a negative reaction from others by _______.
A. talking about other people’s behaviours. B. sending out right signals.
C. wearing inappropriate clothes. D. expressing too strong emotions.
Question 30. The word “outfits” in paragraph 2 mostly means _______.
A. sets of clothes. B. types of signals. C. types of gestures. D. sets of equipment.
Question 31. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2 as a factor to be considered when
choosing clothes?
A. Places you spend time in. B. Other people’s views on beauty.
C. Kinds of tasks you perform. D. People you meet.
Question 32. The word “others” in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. neutral tones. B. taste boundaries. C. colours. D. means.
Question 33. The word “Reappraising” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. reapplying. B. reconsidering. C. reminding. D. recalling.
Question 34. According to Professor Albert Mehrabian, the impact we make on each other depends mainly on
_______.
A. how we speak. B. how we look and behave.
C. what we read. D. what we actually say.
While watching sports on TV, the chances are children will see professional players cheating, having
tantrums, fighting, or abusing officials. In addition, it’s highly likely that children will be aware of well-known
cases of sportspeople being caught using drugs to improve their performance. The danger of all this is that it
could give children the idea that winning is all that counts and you should win at all costs. Good behavior and
fair play aren’t the message that comes across. Instead, it looks as if cheating and bad behavior are reasonable
ways of getting what you want. This message is further bolstered by the fact that some of these sportspeople
acquire enormous fame and wealth, making it seem they are being handsomely rewarded either despite or
because of their bad behavior.
What can parents do about this? They can regard sport on television as an opportunity to discuss attitudes
and behavior with their children. When watching sports together, if parents see a player swearing at the referee,
they can get the child’s opinion on that behavior and discuss whether a player’s skill is more important than their
behavior. Ask what the child thinks the player’s contribution to the team is. Point out that no player can win a
team game on their own, so it’s important for members to work well together.
Another thing to focus on is what the commentators say. Do they frown on bad behavior from players,
think it’s amusing or even consider it’s a good thing? What about the officials? If they let players get away with a
clear foul, parents can discuss with children whether this is right and what effect it has on the game. Look too at
the reactions of coaches and managers. Do they accept losing with good grace or scowl and show a bad
attitude? Parents can use this to talk about attitudes to winning and losing and to remind children that both are
part of sport.

However, what children learn from watching sports is by no means all negative and parents should make
sure they accentuate the positives too. They should emphasise to children the high reputation that well-behaved
players have, not just with their teammates but also with spectators and the media. They can focus on the
contribution made by such players during a game, discussing how valuable they are in the team. In the
interviews after a game, point out to a child that the well-behaved sportspeople don’t gloat when they win or sulk
when they lose. And parents can stress how well these people conduct themselves in their personal lives and the
good work they do for others when not playing. In other words, parents should get their children to focus on the
positive role models, rather than the antics of the badly behaved but often more publicized players.
(Adapter from “New English File – Advanced” by Will Maddox)
Question 35. Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The importance of team spirit in sport
B. The influence of model sportspeople on children

_______.
A. it is an acceptable way to win the game. B. it is necessary in almost any game.

Question 38. According to paragraph 2, what should parents teach their children through watching sports?
A. Cheating is frowned upon by the majority of players.
B. A team with badly-behaved players will not win a game.
C. A player’s performance is of greater value than his behavior.

A. highlight. B. embolden. C. consolidate. D. actualize.

Urban development is having a direct impact on the weather in many cities worldwide. It has been noticed that

A letter of application is a sales letter in which you are both salesperson and product, for the purpose of an
application is to attract an employer’s attention and persuade him or her to grant you an interview. To do this, the
letter presents what you can offer the employer, rather than what you want from the job.
Like a resume, the letter of application is a sample of your work and an opportunity to demonstrate your skills
and personality. If it is written with flair and understanding and prepared with prefessional care, it is likely to be
very effective. While the resume must be factual, objective, and brief, the letter is your chance to interpret and
expand. It should state explicitly how your background relates to the specific job, and it should emphasise your
strongest and most relevant characteristics. The letter should demonstrate that you know both yourself and the
company.
The letter of application must communicate your ambition and enthusiasm. Yet it must be modest. It should be
neither aggressive nor compliant: neither pat yourself on the back nor ask for sympathy. It should never express
dissatisfaction with the present or former job or employer. And you should avoid discussing your reasons for
leaving your last job.
Finally, it is best that you not broach the subject on salary. Indeed, even if a job advertisement requires that you
mention your salary requirements, it is advisable simply to call them “negotiable.” However, when you go on an
interview, you should be prepared to mention a salary range. For this reason, you should investigate both your
field and, if possible, the particular company. You don’t want to ask for less than you deserve or more than is
reasonable.

Henry is the undisputed star of Dronfield School near Sheffield. Whatever the achievements of other members of
the comprehensive school, it is Henry, with his soulful eyes and glossy hair, who has hogged the limelight,
appearing on television in Britain and abroad. Yet despite all the public adulation, Henry stirs up no envy or
resentment among the 2000 students – in fact, they all adore him. The dog, who first arrived six months ago, is
a super dog, who has improved students’ behaviour and encouraged more students to focus on their academic
achievement.
Andrew Wainwright, a student at Dronfield School, says there is something magical and calming about being
able to interact with Henry during his time at the school’s catch-up classes, and that if he falls behind, that
opportunity will be denied. Even doubting staff have finally been won round. Perhaps that is because Henry, who
lies on the floor during staff meetings, has also had a calming effect on them.
It was Andrew’s teacher, Wendy Brown and the school counsellor, Julie Smart, who first proposed buying a
school dog. “Julie and I were talking one day about how looking after dogs can positively affect children’s
conduct,” says Brown. “We did some research and discovered that the presence of pets has been shown to be
therapeutic. A number of studies have shown that animals improve recovery after surgery or illness and have a
calming influence on people in a lot of settings. Some of my kids can be a handful and some of the children
Julie counsels have terrible problems.”
Could the school dog become a craze? Other schools such as the Mulberry Bush, a primary school for children
with behavioural problems, have stepped forward to point out they already have one. Rosie Johnston, a Mulberry
staff member has been bringing her golden retriever, Muskoka, into school for three years. Apart from being a

calming influence, Muskoka even plays his part in literacy lessons. Children at the school can be too shy to read
to adults so they read to Muskoka. “Their anxiety about mispronouncing something or getting the words in the
wrong order is reduced when they read to him,” says Johnston.
Psychologist Dr Deborah Wells from Queen's University Belfast specialises in animal-human interaction. She
believes that the underlying key to the Henry effect is that dogs offer unconditional love and that cheers up adults
and children and helps with self-esteem. But traditionalist Chris Woodhead, the former chief inspector of schools
says, “I don’t see why a teacher cannot create a positive learning environment through the subject they teach
and their personality. Dogs strike me as a bit of a publicity stunt. It’s the kind of sentimental story journalists
love.” Despite this sentiment, Henry remains as popular as ever.

answer to each of the question from 18 to 25.
The principle of use and disuse states that those parts of organisms' bodies that are used grown larger.
Those parts that are not tend to wither away. It is an observed fact that when you exercise particular muscles,
they grow. Those that are never used dimish. By examining a man's body, we can tell which muscles he uses
and which he doesn't. We may even be able to guess his profession or his reaction. Enthusiasts of the "body-
building" cult make use of the principle of use and disuse to "build" their bodies, almost like a piece of sculpture,
into whatever unnatural shape is demanded by fashion in this peculiar minority culture. Muscles are not the only
parts of the body that respond to use in this kind of way. Walk barefoot and you acquire harder skin on your
soles. It is easy to tell a farmer from a bank teller by looking at their hands alone. The farmer's hands are horny,
hardened by long exposure to rough work. The tellerēs hands are relatively soft.
The principle of use and disuse enables animals to become better at the job of surviving in their world,
progressively better during their lifetime as a result of living in that world. Humans, through direct exposure to
sunlight, or lack of it, develop a skin color which equips them better to survive in the particular local conditions.
Too much sunlight is dangerous. Enthusiastic sunbathers with very fair skins are susceptible to skin
cancer. Too little sunlight, on the other hand, leads to vitamin-D deficiency and rickets. The brown pigment
melanin which is synthesized under the influence of sunlight, makes a screen to protect the underlying tissues
from the harmful effects of further sunlight. If a suntanned person moves to a less sunny climate, the melanin
disappears, and the body is able to benefit from what little sun there is. This can be represented as an instance
of the principle of use and disuse: skin goes brown when it is "used", and fades to white when it is not.

Question 18: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. How the principles of use and disuse change peopleēs concepts of themselves.
B. The changes that occur according to the principle of use and disuse.
C. The way in which people change themselves to conform to fashion.
D. The effects of the sun on the principle of use and disuse.

Question 22: From the passage, it can be inferred that author views body building _______ .
A. with enthusiasm B. as an artistic from
C. with scientific interest D. of doubtful benefit
Question 23: It can be inferred from the passage that the principle of use and disuse enables organisms to
_______ .
A. change their existence B. automatically benefit
C. survive in any condition D. improve their lifetime
Question 24: The author suggests that melanin _______ .
A. is necessary for the production of vitamin D B. is beneficial in sunless climates

THE HISTORY OF WRITING

The development of writing (30) _______ a huge difference to the world and might see it as the beginning
of the media. Pieces of pottery with marks on that are probably numbers have been discovered in China (31)
_______ date from around 4000 BC. Hieroglyphics and other forms of "picture writing" developed in the area
around Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), where the ancient Sumerian civilization was based, from around 3300
BC onwards. However, the first (32) _______ alphabet was used by the Phoenicians around 1050 BC. Their
alphabet had 22 letters and it is estimated that it lasted for 1000 years. The first two signs were called "aleph"
and "beth", which in Greek became "alpha" and "beta", which gave us the modern word "alphabet".
The modern European alphabet is based on the Greek and spread (33) _______ other European countries
under the Romans. A number of changes took place as time passed. The Romans added the letter G, and the
letter J and V were unknown to people in Shakespeare's time.
If we (34) _______ the history of punctuation, we also find some interesting facts. The Romans used to
write quaesto at the end of a sentence in order to show that it was a Question. They started to write Qo in place
of the whole word, and then put the Q above the o. In the end, that became the question mark "?"

ENGLISH SEVENTH MEETING “SAN ANDREAS FAULT”
The San Andreas Fault line is a fracture at the congruence of two major plates of the Earthēs crust, one of
which support most of the North American continent, and the other of which underlies the coast of California and
part of the ocean floor of the Pacific Ocean. The fault originates about six hundred miles south of the Gulf of
California, runs north in an irregular line along the western coast to San Francisco, and continues north for about
two hundred more miles before angling off into the ocean. In places, the trace of the fault is marked by a trench,
or, in geological terms, a rift, and a small ponds dot the landscape. Its western side always move north in
relation to its eastern side. The total net slip along the San Andreas Fault and the length of time it has been active
are matters of conjecture, but it has been estimated that, during the past fifteen million years, coastal California
along the San Andreas Fault has moved about 190 miles in a northwesterly direction with respect to the North
American plate. Although the movement along the fault averages only a few inches a year, it is intermittent and
variable. Some segments of the fault do not have move at all for long periods of time, building up tremendous
pressure that must be released. For this reason, tremors are not unusual along the San Andreas Fault, some of
which are classified as major earthquakes. Also for this reason, small tremors are interpreted as safe, since they
are understood to be pressure that releases without causing much damage.
It is worth noting that the San Andreas Fault passes uncomfortably close to several major metropolitan
areas, including Los Angeles and San Francisco. In addition, the San Andreas Fault has created smaller fault
systems, many of which underlie the smaller towns and cities along the California coast. For this reason,
Californians have long anticipated the recurrence of what they refer to as Ĕthe Big Oneĕ, a chain reaction of
destructive earthquakes that would measure near 8 on the Richter scale, similar in intensity to those that
occurred in 1857 and 1906. Such a quake would wreak devastating effects on the life and property in the region.
Unfortunately, as pressure continues to build along the fault, the likelihood of such an earthquake increases
substantially.
Question 35: What is the authorēs main purpose in the passage?
A. To describe the San Andreas Fault.
B. To give a definition of a fault.
C. To explain the reason for tremors and earthquakes.
D. To classify different kinds of faults.
Question 36: How does the author define the San Andreas Fault?
A. A plate that underlies the North American continent.
B. A crack in the Earthēs crust between two plates.
C. Occasional tremors and earthquakes.
D. Intense pressure that builds up.
Question 37: The word originates in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by _______ .
A. gets wider B. changes direction C. begins D. disappears
Question 38: In which direction does the western side of the fault move?
A. West B. East C. North D. South
Question 39: The word Ĕitsĕ in the paragraph 1 refers to _______ .
A. San Francisco B. ocean C. coast D. fault
Question 40: Along the San Andreas Fault, tremors are _______ .
A. small and insignificant B. rare, but disastrous
C. frequent events D. very unpredictable
Question 41: The phrase Ĕthe Big Oneĕ refers to which of the following?
A. A serious earthquake B. The San Andreas Fault
C. The river scale D. California

Animals have an intuitive awareness of quantities. They know without analysis the difference between a
number of objects and a smaller number. In his book “The Natural History of Selboure” (1786), the naturalist
Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously removed one egg a day from a plover’s nest, and how the mother laid
another egg each day to make up for the missing one. He noted that other species of birds ignore the absence of
a single egg but abandon their nests if more than one egg has been removed. It has also been noted by
naturalists that a certain type of wasp always provides five - never four, never six -caterpillars for each of their
eggs so that their young have something to eat when the eggs hatch. Research has also shown that both mice
and pigeons can be taught to distinguish between odd and even numbers of food pieces.
These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than humans can actually
count. They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to numerical questions with the correct number
of barks, or to horses that seem to solve arithmetic problems by stomping their hooves the proper number of
times.
Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survival as a species - as in the case of
the eggs - or survival as individuals - as in the case of food. There is no transfer to other situations or from
concrete reality to the abstract notion of numbers. Animals can “count” only when the objects are present and
only when the numbers involved are small - not more than seven or eight. In lab experiments, animals trained to

“count” one kind of object were unable to count any other type. The objects, not the numbers, are what interest
them. Animals’ admittedly remarkable achievements simply do not amount to evidence of counting, nor do they
reveal more than innate instincts, refined by the genes of successive generations, or the results of clever, careful
conditioning by trainers.
Question 20: The word “they” refer to _______ .
A. numbers B. animals C. achievements D. genes
Question 21: According to information in the passage, which of the following is LEAST likely to occur as a result
of animals’ intuitive awareness of quantities?

C. When one of its four kittens crawls away, a mother cat misses it and searches for the kitten.
D. A pigeon is more attracted by a box containing two pieces of food than by a box containing one piece.
Question 22: The word “surreptitiously” is closest in meaning to _______.
A. stubbornly B. secretly C. quickly D. occasionally
Question 23: What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Of all animals, dogs and horses can count best.
B. Careful training is required to teach animals to perform tricks involving numbers.
C. Although animals may be aware of quantities, they cannot actually count.
D. Animals cannot “count” more than one kind of object.
Question 24: Where in the passage does the author mention research that supports his own view of animals’
inability to count?
A. Line 2-4 B. Line 8-9 C. Line 10-11 D. Line 17-18
Question 25: Why does the author refer to Gilbert White’s book in line 2?

American music, in most of its various forms, can be traced back to the music of the earliest African-
Americans. Even though these Americans came here under the worst of circumstances, they still brought with
them traditions, and developed new traditions of their own, that have grown into what is recognized around the
world today as American music.
Musicians, like other artists, are usually quick to give credit where credit is due. Just as a writer quotes his
sources, a musician credits those musicians who inspired him. In the case of the early African - Americans that
is not always easy. Many of the slaves who brought musical traditions from Africa will never be known by name.

No one wrote their history. Many of the slaves who sang work songs in the fields will never be known by name
No one wrote their history either. However, there is a lot that we do know.
The first well-recognized form of African-American music was spirituals. Spirituals are religious songs
They are songs that tell a story or express emotions. Spirituals have a strong rhythm. They are often sung by a
group, sometimes with a leader who sings a line or two alone and a chorus that sings the refrain. Spirituals
originated in the Southern United States. Spirituals sung by slaves often expressed the hope for freedom that was
so important in their lives. Well know spirituals include "Go Down Moses," "Deep River, " and "Swing Low Sweet
Chariot.”
After slavery ended, spirituals began to spread to other parts of the United States. Harry Thacker Burleigh
was one of the first singers to perform spirituals on stage in a concert. Marian Anderson, well known for her
classical singing, helped spirituals to gain a wider audience too. Spirituals influenced the development of another
well-known form of American music - the blues.
The blues were a more individual style of music than spirituals. Blues were often sung solo, and
sometimes they were accompanied by guitar music. As the name suggests, the blues were often about sadness
and facing troubles. However, the blues could also be funny, positive, and even defiant. One blues singer, loved
for her strong, beautiful voice, was Bessie Smith. Another early blues musician was w. C. Handy. Handy was not
only a musician, he also wrote music, promoted concerts, and published blues songs.
During the time that the blues were spreading across the country, another style of music was also quickly
gaining in popularity. Ragtime was energetic music with a complicated, syncopated beat. Often played on the
piano, ragtime was the latest and most sophisticated in American popular music. The best-known ragtime
musician was probably Scott Joplin, who wrote many hit ragtime pieces for the piano including “Maple Leaf
Rag”.
Eventually, elements from all of these forms of music and more came back together. In their own kind of
melting pot, African rhythms, slave work songs, spirituals, blues, ragtime, and other influences recombined to
form the beginnings of that truly American art form - jazz. In the late 1800’s jazz was just beginning, but not long
after the turn of the century, it would be the most popular American music. It would go on from there to
worldwide popularity. Jazz would branch out into many forms, and it would influence future styles of American
music.
Many musicians today credit earlier musicians such as Scott Joplin or Bessie Smith with inspiring their
music. It’s a shame that they can’t also name the earliest African-Americans who really began the traditions that
led to the American music of today.
Question 38: According to the passage, who introduced the early form of American music?
A. American natives. B. Harry Thacker Burleigh.
C. Slaves from Africa D. People from the South of the United States.
Question 39: Which type of music is often involved with piano accompaniment?
A. spirituals B. ragtime C. blues D. jazz
Question 40: What is NOT true when talking about blues?
A. They could be amusing and optimistic.
B. A well-known blues musician was Scott Joplin.
C. They gained popularity near the time ragtime became popular.
D. They were a more individual style of music than spirituals.

Question 41: When did jazz become the most popular American music?
A. Sometime in the early 20th century.
B. When elements from other American music combined.

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.
Very few people in the modem world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment
surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the oldest known subsistence
strategy and has been practised for at least the last two million years. It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food
until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago.
Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have
dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and arctic wastelands. In
higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditions have
caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the coasts and waterways. The abundance of
vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a
variety of plants. In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the
development of subsistence societies.
Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help US understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from the observation
of modem hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very
mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a
reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area has become exhausted, the community moves on to
exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a
strict division of labor between the sexes. These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practised by mankind
during the Paleolithic Period.
Question 19: The word “domestication” in the first paragraph mostly means _________ .
A. adapting animals to suit a new working environment
B. hatching and raising new species of wild animals in the home
C. teaching animals to do a particular job or activity in the home
D. making wild animals used to living with and working for humans
Question 20: According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on ________.
A. hunter-gatherers’ tools B. nature’s provision
C. farming methods D. agricultural products
Question 21: In the lower latitudes of the tropics, hunter-gatherers __________ .
A. can free themselves from hunting B. have better food gathering from nature
C. live along the coasts and waterways for fishing D. harvest shorter seasonal crops
Question 22: A typical feature of both modem and prehistoric hunter-gatherers is that .

A. they live in the forests for all their life B. they don’t have a healthy and balanced diet
C. they don’t have a strong sense of community D. they often change their living places
Question 23: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?
A. Harvesting from the natural environment had existed long before farming was taken up.
B. The environmental differences produce no effect on subsistence societies.
C. The number of hunter-gatherers decreases where farming is convenient.
D. Hunting or fishing develops where there are no or short growing seasons.
Question 24: According to the author, most contemporary and prehistoric hunter-gatherers share .
A. some methods of production B. some patterns of behavior
C. some restricted daily miles D. only the way of duty division
Question 25: Which of the following would serve as the best title of the passage?
A. Hunter-gatherers and Subsistence Societies B. Evolution of Humans’ Farming Methods
C. Brief History of Subsistence Farming D. Hunter-gatherers: Always on the Move

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.
Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road. Some of these are made on public transport but most are
by private car.
In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g. getting to work, doing the shopping, and
visiting friends. People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city
centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car. Some places in the
country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but to rely on their
cars.
In the US, large cities have good public transportation systems. The El railroad in Chicago and the underground
systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used. Elsewhere, most Americans
prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to
schools, offices, shops, banks, etc. Many college and even high-school students have their own cars.
Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities. Most places are
linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their own convenience rather than use
a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam. Long-distance coach/bus services are usually a cheaper
alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable. Some long-distance travel, especially that
undertaken for business reasons, may be by air. There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to
and from London. A lot of freight is also distributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail.
In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound
and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private railway companies such
as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road.
The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution.
It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years, making both these
problems worse. The British government would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had
little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours. Most people say that
public transport is simply not good enough. Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars
because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom. Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the
major cities public transport is bad, so they see no reason to use their cars less.

answer to each of the following questions.
Itēs often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the minimum of work
because theyēre crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream before their piano practice because
itēs so boring. They have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to
take exams. But the story is different when youēre older.
Over the years, Iēve done my share of adult learning. At 30,1 went to a college and did courses in History and
English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no reason to be late - I was the
one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round. Indeed, if I could persuade
him to linger for an extra five minutes, it was a bonus, not a nuisance. I wasnēt frightened to ask questions, and
homework was a pleasure not a pain. When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me alone, not for my
parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got was entirely personal.
Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the joy is that,
although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since you were young. It has
learnt to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another. What you lose in the
rust department, you gain in the maturity department.
In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when youēre older, you get less frustrated. Experience has
told you that, if youēre calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually youēll get the hang of
it. The confidence you have in other areas - from being able to drive a car, perhaps - means that if you canēt,
say, build a chair instantly, you donēt, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells you
that you will, with application, eventually get there.
I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming back to it, with a teacher who could
explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten, I could never grasp,
was magical. Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that Iēd played for my school exams, with just
as little comprehension of what the composer intended as Iēd had all those years before. But soon, complex
emotions that I never knew poured out from my fingers, and suddenly I could understand why practice makes
perfect.

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 following questions.
Scientists have developed a new bionic computer chip that can be mated with human cells to combat disease.
The tiny device, smaller and thinner than a strand of hair, combines a healthy human cell with an electronic
circuitry chip. Doctors can control the activity of the cell by controlling the chip with a computer.
It has long been established that cell members become permeable when exposed to electrical impulses.
Researchers have conducted genetic research for years with a trial-and-error process of bombarding cells with
electricity in an attempt to introduce foreign substances such as new drug treatments or genetic material. They
were unable to apply a particular level of voltage for a particular purpose. With the new invention, the computer
sends electrical impulses to the chip, which triggers the physicians to open a cellēs pores with control.

Researchers hope that eventually they will be able to develop more advanced chips whereby they can choose
a particular voltage to activate particular tissues, whether they be muscle, bone, brain, or others. They believe
that they will be able to implant multiple chips into a person to deal with one problem or more than one problem.

D. It is more precise than previous techniques.

A. in the future B. especially C. possibly D. finally
Question 38: The author implies that up to now, the point of applying electric impulse to cells was to _______.
A. open their walls to introduce medication B. kill them
C. combine cells D. stop growth
Question 39: The author states that scientists previously were aware that ___________.
A. electric impulses could affect cells
B. electric charges could harm a person
C. cells interact with each other through electrical charges
D. they could control cells with a separate computer
Question 40: The word they in the first sentences of the third paragraph refers to _________.

Foot racing is a popular activity in the US. It is seen not only as a competitive sport but also as a way to
exercise, to enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded people, and to donate money to a good cause. Though serious
runners may spend months training to compete, other runners and walkers might not train at all. Those not
competing to win might run in an effort to beat their own time or simply to enjoy the fun and exercise. People of
all ages, from those of less than one year (who may be pushed in astrollers) to those in their eighties, enter into
this sport. The races are held on city streets, on college campuses, through parks, and in suburban areas, and
they are commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length.
The largest footrace in the world is the 12-kilometer Bay to Breakers race that is held in San Francisco every
spring. This race begins on the east side of the city near San Francisco Bay and ends on the west side at the
Pacific Ocean. There may be 80.000 or more people running in this race through the streets and hills of San
Francisco. In the front are the serious runners who compete to win and who might finish in as little as 35
minutes. Behind them are the thousands who take several hours to finish. In the back of the race are those who
dress in costumes and come just for fun. One year there was a group of men who dressed like Elvis Presley,
and another group consisted of firefighters who were tied together in a long line and who were carrying a fire
hose. There was even a bridal party, in which the bride was dressed in a long white gown and the groom wore a
tuxedo. The bride and groom threw flowers to bystanders, and they were actually married at some point along
the route.
Question 19: The main purpose of this passage is to ___________.
A. encourage people to exercise B. describe a popular activity

A. incline B. overturn C. outdo D. undermine

Question 22: In what lines does the author give reasons for why people enter footraces?
A. Line 1-2 B. Line 4-5 C. Line 8-11 D. Line 13-14

Britain has increased in the last decade. Unfortunately, the government can’t criticize parents, but it can remind

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
Overpopulation, the situation of having large numbers of people with too few resources and too little space, is
closely associated with poverty. It can result from high population density, or from low amounts of resources, or
from both. Excessively high population densities put stress on available resources. Only a certain number of
people can be supported on a given area of land, and that number depends on how much food and other
resources the land can provide. In countries where people live primarily by means of simple farming, gardening,
herding, hunting, and gathering, even large areas of land can support only small numbers of people because
these labor-intensive subsistence activities produce only small amounts of food.
In developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and the countries of Western Europe, overpopulation
generally is not considered a major cause of poverty. These countries produce large quantities of food through
mechanized farming, which depends on commercial fertilizers, large-scale irrigation, and agricultural machinery.
This form of production provides enough food to support the high densities of people in metropolitan areas.
A country’s level of poverty can depend greatly on its mix of population density and agricultural productivity.
Bangladesh, for example, has one of the world’s highest population densities, with 1, 147 persons per sq km. A
large majority of the people of Bangladesh engage in low-productivity manual
farming, which contributes to the country’s extremely high level of poverty. Some of the smaller countries in
Western Europe, such as the Netherlands and Belgium, have high population densities as well. These countries
practice mechanized farming and are involved in high-tech industries, however, and therefore have high
standards of living.
At the other end of the spectrum, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have population densities of less than
30 persons per sq km. Many people in these countries practice manual subsistence farming; these countries
also have infertile land, and lack the economic resources and technology to boost productivity. As a
consequence, these nations are very poor. The United States has both relatively low population density and high
agricultural productivity; it is one of the world’s wealthiest nations.
High birth rates contribute to overpopulation in many developing countries. Children are assets to many poor
families because they provide labor, usually for farming. Cultural norms in traditionally mral societies commonly
sanction the value of large families. Also, the governments of developing countries often provide little or no
support, financial or political, for family planning; even people who wish to keep their families small have
difficulty doing so. For all these reasons, developing countries tend to have high rates of population growth.
(From "Poverty" by Thomas J. Corbett)

At 7pm on a dark, cold November evening, thousands of people are making their way across a vast car park.
They're not here to see a film, or the ballet, or even the circus. They are all here for what is, bizarrely, a global
phenomenon: they are here to see Holiday on Ice. Given that most people don't seem to be acquainted with
anyone who's ever been, the show's statistics are extraordinary: nearly 300 million people have seen Holiday on
Ice since it began in 1943; it is the most popular live entertainment in the world.
But what does the production involve? And why are so many people prepared to spend their lives travelling
round Europe in caravans in order to appear in it? It can't be glamorous, and it's undoubtedly hard work. The
backstage atmosphere is an odd mix of gym class and workplace. A curtained-off section at the back of the
arena is laughably referred to as the girls' dressing room, but is more accurately described as a corridor, with
beige, cracked walls and cheap temporary tables set up along the length of it. Each girl has a small area littered
with pots of orange make-up, tubes of mascara and long false eyelashes.
As a place to work, it must rank pretty low down the scale: the area round the ice-rink is grey and mucky with
rows of dirty blue and brown plastic seating and red carpet tiles. It's an unimpressive picture, but the show itself
is an unquestionably vast, polished global enterprise: the lights come from a firm in Texas, the people who make
the audio system are in California, but Montreal supplies the smoke effects; former British Olympic skater Robin
Cousins is now creative director for the company and conducts a vast master class to make sure they're ready
for the show's next performance.
The next day, as the music blares out from the sound system, the cast start to go through their routines under
Cousins' direction. Cousins says, The aim is to make sure they're all still getting to exactly the right place on the
ice at the right time - largely because the banks of lights in the ceiling are set to those places, and if the skaters
are all half a metre out they'll be illuminating empty ice. Our challenge,' he continues, 'is to produce something
they can sell in a number of countries at the same time. My theory is that you take those things that people want
to see and you give it to them, but not in the way they expect to see it. You try to twist it. And you have to find
music that is challenging to the skaters, because they have to do it every night.
It may be a job which he took to pay the rent, but you can't doubt his enthusiasm. ĔThe only place you'll see
certain skating moves is an ice show,ĕ he says, Ĕbecause you're not allowed to do them in competition. It's not
in the rules. So the ice show world has things to offer which the competitive world just doesn't.ĕ Cousin knows
what he's talking about because he skated for the show himself when he stopped competing - he was financially
unable to retire. He learnt the hard way that you can't put on an Olympic performance every night. ĔI'd be
thinking, these people have paid their money, now do your stuff, and I suddenly thoughtĕ, "I really can't cope. I'm
not enjoying it". The solution, he realised, was to give 75 per cent every night, rather than striving for the sort of
twice-a-year excellence which won him medals.
To be honest, for those of us whose only experience of ice-skating is watching top-class Olympic skaters,
some of the movements can look a bit amateurish, but then, who are we to judge? Equally, it's impossible not to
be swept up in the whole thing; well, you'd have to try pretty hard not to enjoy it.

The human criterion for perfect vision is 20/20 for reading the standard lines on a Snellen eye chart without a
hitch. The score is determined by how well you read lines of letters of different sizes from 20 feet away. But
being able to read the bottom line on the eye chart does not approximate perfection as far as other species are
concerned. Most birds would consider us very visually handicapped. The hawk, for instance, has such sharp
eyes that it can spot a dime on the sidewalk while perched on top of the Empire State Building.
It can make fine visual distinctions because it is blessed with one million cones per square millimeter in its
retina. And in water, humans are farsighted, while the kingfisher, swooping down to spear fish, can see well in
both the air and water because it is endowed with two foveae - areas of the eye, consisting mostly of cones,
that provide visual distinctions. One fovea permits the bird, while in the air, to scan the water below with one eye
at a time. This is called monocular vision. Once it hits the water, the other fovea joins in, allowing the kingfisher
to focus both eyes, like binoculars, on its prey at the same time.
A frogēs vision is distinguished by its ability to perceive things as a constant motion picture. Known as Ĕbug
detectorsĕ, a highly developed set of cells in a frogēs eyes responds mainly to moving objects. So, it is said that
a frog sitting in a field of dead bugs wouldnēt see them as food and would starve. The bee has a Ĕcompoundĕ
eye, which is used for navigation. It has 15,000 facets that divide what it sees into a pattern of dots, or mosaic.
With this kind of vision, the bee sees the sun only as a single dot, a constant point of
reference. Thus, the eye is a superb navigational instrument that constantly measures the angle of its line of
flight in relation to the sun. A beeēs eye also gauges flight speed. And if that is not enough to leave our 20/20
Ĕperfect visionĕ paling into insignificance, the bee is capable of seeing something we canēt - ultraviolet light.
Thus, what humans consider to be Ĕperfect visionĕ is in fact rather limited when we look at other species.
However, there is still much to be said for the human eye. Of all the mammals, only humans and some primates
can enjoy the pleasures of color vision.
A. Limits of the human eye B. Perfect vision
C. Different eyes for different uses D. Eye variation among different species
Question 27: The phrase “without a hitch” is closest in meaning to _________ .

handicapped?
A. Humans canēt see very well in either air or water.
B. Human eyes are not as well suited to our needs.
C. The main outstanding feature of human eyes is color vision.
D. Human eyes canēt do what their eyes can do.
Question 29: The word “that” in line 10 refers to ___________.
A. foveae B. areas of the eye C. cones D. visual distinctions
Question 30: According to the passage, “bug detectors” are useful for ___________.
A. navigation B. seeing moving objects

C. avoiding bugs when getting food D. avoiding starvation

Question 31: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Kingfishers have monocular vision.
B. Bees see patterns of dots.

Question 32: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Eyes have developed differently in each species
B. Bees have the most complex eye
C. Humans should not envy what they donēt need
D. Perfect vision is not perfect

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 question.
Rachel Carson was bom in 1907 in Springsdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology in college and zoology at
Johns Hopkins University, where she received her master’s degree in 1933. In 1936, she was hired by the US
Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life.
Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but sales were
poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year, she published The Sea Around Us, which provided a fascinating
look beneath the ocean’s surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology and marine biology. Her
imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1, 000 printed sources. She had
voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field. However, she always realized the
limitations of her non-technical readers.
In 1962, Carson published Silence Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved how much
harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how they poison the food supply
of animals, kill birds, and contaminate human food. At that time, spokesmen for the chemical industry mounted
personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her findings were flawed. However, her
work was vindicated by a 1963 report of the President’s Science Advisory Committee.

Set in the red desert of central Australia is the mining town of Coober Pedy. At first sight, the town looks
similar to many other such communities, but Coober Pedy is different. Sixty per cent of its population of 4,000
people lives underground. There are today about 800 underground houses as well as shops, hotels and even
churches in the town and the surrounding hills. Once a site has been chosen, special tunneling machines are
(30) _______ in to create passages and rooms in the sandstone. Rock pillars are left to support the roof, and
doors and windows are cut into the front. Houses are of all shapes and (31) ________, the largest having
twenty rooms, and some even have their own swimming poll.
Living underground may sound strange but in fact it has a number of advantages. In summer, the temperature
outside can reach an astonishing 47°C, and in winter the nights can be (32) _______ cold. However, inside
the houses it remains a steady 25°C all year round. Many people say that living underground makes they feel
very secure. There is no problem with noise from the neighbours and the houses are not affected. By the fierce

dust storms that regularly sweep (33) _________ the area. And of course, if your family (34) ____________ or

Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frame of an object, each slightly
different than the proceeding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw the
different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer will
produce the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as computer-assisted
animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.
In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequences of
pictures. These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that defines the objects in the pictures as
they exist in mathematical space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity
information. Highly trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high
degrees of realism involves computer techniques from three-dimensional transformation, shading, and
curvatures.
High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special color
terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a single
frame. It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen.
A camera can be used to film directly from the computer’s display screen, but for the highest quality images
possible, expensive film recorders are used. The computer computers the positions and colors for the figures in
the picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes, however, the
images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder. Once this process is completed, it
is replaced for the next frame. When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the film must be
developed before the animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right, the motions must be
corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive and time -
consuming. Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple computergenerated line
drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images.
Question 35: What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The production procession B. The equipment needed
C. The high cost D. The role of the artist
Question 36: According to the passage, in computer-assisted animation the role of the computer is to draw the

Question 38: According to the passage, the frame buffers mentioned in the third paragraph are used to
A. add color to the images B. expose several frames at the same time

Question 39: According to the passage, the positions and colors of the figures in high-tech animation are
determined by ____________.
A. drawing several versions B. enlarging one frame at a lime
C. analyzing the sequence from different angles D. using computer calculations
Question 40: The word “captures” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to _________ .
A. separates B. registers C. describes D. numbers

Composers today use a wider variety of sounds than ever before, including many that were once considered
undesirable noises. Composer Edgard Varese (1883-1965) called thus the "liberation of sound...the right to
make music with any and all sounds." Electronic music, for example - made with the aid of computers,
synthesizers, and electronic instruments - may include sounds that in the past would not have been considered
musical.
Environmental sounds, such as thunder, and electronically generated hisses and blips can be recorded,
manipulated, and then incorporated into a musical composition. But composers also draw novel sounds from
voices and non-electronic instruments. Singers may be asked to scream, laugh, groan, sneeze, or to sing
phonetic sounds rather than words. Wind and string players may lap or scrape their instruments A brass or
woodwind player may hum while playing, to produce two pitches at once; a pianist may reach inside the piano
to pluck a string and then run a metal blade along it. In the music of the Western world, the greatest expansion
and experimentation have involved percussion instruments, which outnumber strings and winds in many recent
compositions. Traditional percussion instruments are struck with new types of beaters; and instruments that
used to be couriered unconventional in Western music - tom-toms, bongos, slapsticks, maracas - are widely
used.
In the search for novel sounds, increased use has been made in Western music of Microtones. Non- Western
music typically divides and intervals between two pitches more finely than Western music does, thereby
producing a greater number of distinct tones or micro tones, within the same interval. Composers such as
Krzysztof Penderecki create sound that borders on electronic noise through tone clusters - closely spaced tones
played together and heard as a mass, block, or band of sound. The directional aspect of sound has taken on
new importance as well Loudspeakers or groups of instruments may be placed at opposite ends of the stage, in
the balcony, or at the back and sides of the auditorium. Because standard music notation makes no provision for
many of these innovations, recent music scores may contain graph like diagrams, new note shapes and
symbols, and novel ways of arranging notation on the page.
Question 28: The word Ĕwiderĕ in line 1 is closest in meaning to __________ .
A. more impressive B. more distinctive
C. more controversial D. more extensive
Question 29: The passage suggests that Edgard Varese is an example of a composer who __________.

An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such
quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible
definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the
fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the
extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health
aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water
vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are
found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical
reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification scheme by
allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature's output of these
compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities.
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such a region, human output
may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an
increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear
will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The
actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little
until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the

area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about
400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a
pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.
