correct answer to each of the questions from 45 to 54.
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating
without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The
basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as,
for example, the dots and dashes of a
telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for
communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in
and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently.
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate
relationship with the receivers cultural perceptions. In some cultures,
applauding in a theater
provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking
also communicate certain cultural messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage in
communication. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent
to the receiver. Without an exchange of ideas, interaction comes to a halt. As a result, means of
communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods must be based upon speech.
To radio, television, and the telephone, one must add fax, paging systems, electronic mail, and the
Internet, and no one doubts but that there are more means of communication on the horizon.
Question 45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Gestures
B. Signs and signals
C. Speech
D. Communication

A. It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors.
B. It is the most advanced form of communication.
C. It is necessary for communication to occur.
D. It is the only true form of communication.
Question 47. According to the passage, what is a signal?
A. A form of communication that interrupts the environment.
B. The most difficult form of communication to describe.
C. A form of communication which may be used across long distances.
D. The form of communication most related to cultural perception.
Question 48. The phrase impinge upon in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. prohibit
B. intrude
C. vary
Question 49. The word it in paragraph refers to ________.
D. improve
A. way

A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many households,
despite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey of 1,256 people ages between 18
and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37% of the total housework, while the women
estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70%. This ratio was not affected by whether the
woman was working or not.
When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt that
housework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work
outside the home were satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of the household work if their
husbands did remainder. Research has shown that, if
levels increase beyond these percentages,
women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant.
After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for
men the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a mans share
increases much less than the womans. It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number of
hours, which leads to anxiety and depression. The research describes housework as thankless and
unfulfilling. Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing
up and childcare. Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to
their professional duties. In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work
when the children grow up. Distress for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage.
In cases where men perform most of the housework, results were similar. The men also became
depressed by the imbalance of labor. The research showed that the least distressed people are those who
have equal share, implying that men could perform significantly more chores and even benefit from
this. The research concludes Everybody benefits from sharing the housework. Even for women
keeping house, a share division of labor is important. If you decide to stay at home to raise the children,
you dont want to become the servant of the house.
Question 55. The word remainder in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______ .
A. what is done
B. what is fulfilled
C. what is left
D. what is share
Question 56. Although women think men should share the housework, those who dont have paid job
agree to share ______ of the chores.
A. 14%
B. 37%
C. 70%
D. 80%
Question 57. After getting married, ______ .

A. women have a bigger house
B. men do more housework
C. men do less housework
D. women do twice as much housework
Question 58. Working women ______ .

A. want their partners to do an equal share
B. are anxious and depressed
C. do 80% of the household
D. would prefer not to have a job
Question 59. Women who do not have a job become depressed ______ .
A. if they have to do more than half of the housework
B. because they have no respect
C. when their husbands do not help them
D. if their husbands do 20% of the chores
Question 60. The word norm in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______ .
A. changing thing
B. strange thing
C. usual thing
D. unequal thing
Question 61. According to the passage, a good relationship is the one in which ______ .

A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which provides
information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known surveys are
the Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during campaigns presidential
knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States.
North Americans are familiar with the many person on the street interviews on local television
news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate
indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a
certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or
factory workers, depending on which area the news people select. Second, television interviews
tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others
who may feel intimidated by a camera. A survey must be based on a precise, representative
sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population.
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of
questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it.
It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results. Even
questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information
desired. Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done
properly and the questions are worded accurately.
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these forms of
survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people
find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written
questionnaire. In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subjects
underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and
more consistent.

Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in
the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and
summer quarters. The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven
weeks each beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is
composed of shorter sessions of vary length.
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students
who wish to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of
the opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters. In addition, although most
students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any other
quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used
effectively to serve the greatest number of students. But there are several disadvantages as well.
Many faculty complain that eleven-week term is simply not enough for them to cover the material
required by most college coursed. Students also find it difficult to complete the assignments in such
a short period of time.
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some
colleges and universities have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty
and students have more time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional
term provides options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those
students who wish to graduate early.

C. One regular term and four summer terms
D. Three regular terms and one summer term
Question 58: When is the academic year?

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.
Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees homes and
offices. For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or
typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate
over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a
distant site and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates
that there are approximately 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 hasn't 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 manager's responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often 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.
Cu 6:

EXCEPT_____ .
A. the lack of interaction with a group
B. the different system of supervision
C. the fact that the work space is in the home
D. the opportunities for advancement

the correct answer to each of the following questions.
The three phases of the human memory are the sensory memory, the short-term memory, and the
long-term memory. This division of the memory into phases 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.
Information can be held in the short-term memory for about twenty seconds or as long as you are
actively using it. If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will stay in your short-term memory as
long as you keep repeating it. Once you stop repeating it, either it is forgotten or it moves into long
term memory.
Long-term memory is the huge memory tank that can hold ideas and images for years and years.
Information can be added to your long-term memory when you actively try to put it there through
memorization or when an idea or image enters your mind on its own.

One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of
wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C . Despite its antiquity,
certain aspects of its construction makes it one of the truly wonders of the world. The thirteen- acre
structure near the Nile river is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the
number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber of the Pharaoh. It is the largest single
structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south,
east and west-an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshippers and great
astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting
lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events past,
present and future. . Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known
facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation.

the correct answer to each of the questions
Robert Capa
1. Robert Capa is a name that has for many years been synonymous with war photography.
2. Born in Hungary in 1913 as Friedmann Endre Ern, Capa was forced to leave his native country
after his involvement in anti government protests. Capa had originally wanted to become a writer,
but after his arrival in Berlin had first found work as a photographer. He later left Germany and
moved to France due to the rise in Nazism. He tried to find work as a freelance journalist and it was
here that he changed his name to Robert Capa, mainly because he thought it would sound more
American.
3. In 1936, after the breakout of the Spanish Civil war, Capa went to Spain and it was here over the
next three years that he built his reputation as a war photographer. It was here too in 1936 that he
took one of his most famous pictures, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier. One of Capas most famous
quotes was 'If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.' And he took his attitude of
getting close to the action to an extreme. His photograph, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier is a prime
example of this as Capa captures the very moment the soldier falls. However, many have questioned
the authenticity of this photograph, claiming that it was staged.
4. When World war II broke out, Capa was in New York, but he was soon back in Europe covering
the war for Life magazine. Some of his most famous work was created on 6th June 1944 when he
swam ashore with the first assault on Omaha Beach in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Capa,
armed only with two cameras, took more than one hundred photographs in the first hour of the
landing, but a mistake in the darkroom during the drying of the film destroyed all but eight frames.
It was the images from these frames however that inspired the visual style of Steven Spielberg's
Oscar winning movie Saving Private Ryan. When Life magazine published the photographs, they
claimed that they were slightly out of focus, and Capa later used this as the title of his
autobiographical account of the war.
5. Capas private life was no less dramatic. He was friend to many of Hollywoods directors, actors
and actresses. In 1943 he fell in love with the wife of actor John Austin. His affair with her lasted
until the end of the war and became the subject of his war memoirs. He was at one time lover to
actress Ingrid Bergman. Their relationship finally ended in 1946 when he refused to settle in
Hollywood and went off to Turkey.
6. In 1947 Capa was among a group of photojournalists who founded Magnum Photos. This was a
co-operative organisation set up to support photographers and help them to retain ownership of the
copyright to their work.
7. Capa went on to document many other wars. He never attempted to glamorise war though, but to
record the horror. He once said, "The desire of any war photographer is to be put out of business."
8. Capa died as he had lived. After promising not to photograph any more wars, he accepted an
assignment to go to Indochina to cover the first Indochina war. On May 25th 1954 Capa was
accompanying a French regiment when he left his jeep to take some photographs of the advance and
stepped on a land mine. He was taken to a nearby hospital, still clutching his camera, but was
pronounced dead on arrival. He left behind him a testament to the horrors of war and a standard for
photojournalism that few others have been able to reach.
9. Capas legacy has lived on though and in 1966 his brother Cornell founded the International Fund
for Concerned Photography in his honor. There is also a Robert Capa Gold Medal, which is given to
the photographer who publishes the best photographic reporting from abroad with evidence of
exceptional courage. But perhaps his greatest legacy of all are the haunting images of the human
struggles that he captured.
Question 16. Why did Capa change his name?
A. To hide his identity
B. Because he had been involved in protests
C. To sound more American
D. Because he had to leave Hungary
Question 17. Capa originally wanted to be

A. A photojournalist

C. went to Europe.
D. went to Normandy.

C. Capa wanted to make friends with important people in Hollywood so that he could move
into the movie industry
D. Capas private life was very complicated. He could not choose between the two women
he loved, so he went off to work in Turkey.

A. Capa never tried to avoid danger. He risked his life to take photographs of the D-Day
invasion, but then destroyed most of them
B. Capa took some of his most famous photographs during the D-Day invasion, but most

C. Capa only kept the best eight D-Day photographs as the others were out of focus. These

D-Day invasion
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Sharks have gained an unfair reputation for being fierce predators of large sea animals.
Humanity's unfounded fear and hatred of these ancient creatures is leading to a worldwide slaughter
that may result in the extinction of many coastal shark species. The shark is the victim of a warped
attitude of wildlife protection; we strive only to protect the beautiful, non-threatening parts of our
environment. And, in our efforts to restore only non-threatening parts of our earth, we ignore other
important parts.
A perfect illustration of this attitude is the contrasting attitude toward another large sea
animal, the dolphin. During the 1980s, environmentalists in the United States protested the use of
driftnets for tuna fishing in the Pacific Ocean since these nets also caught dolphins. The
environmentalists generated enough political and economic pressure to prevent tuna companies
from buying tuna that had been caught in driftnets. In contrast to this effort on behalf of the
dolphins, these same environmentalists have done very little to help save the Pacific Ocean sharks
whose population has decreased nearly to the point of extinction. Sharks are among the oldest
creatures on earth, having survived in the seas for more than 350 million years. They are extremely
efficient animals, feeding on wounded or dying animals, thus performing an important role in nature
of weeding out the weaker animals in a species. Just the fact that species such as the Great White
Shark have managed to live in the oceans
for so many millions of years is enough proof of their
efficiency and adaptability to changing environments. It is time for us humans, who may not survive
another 1,000 years at the rate we are damaging the planet, to cast away our fears and begin
considering the protection of sharks as an important part of a program for protection of all 30 our
natural environment.
Question 26. With which of the following topics is this passage primarily concerned?
A. Sharks are efficient creatures with bad reputations
B. Sharks are some of the oldest creatures on earth

C. Sharks illustrate a problem in wildlife protection.
D. The campaign to save dolphins was not extended to save sharks.
Question 27. Which of the following is most similar to the meaning of the word "warped"?
A. distorted
B. wasteful
C. extravagant
D. wanton
Question 28. The word "protested" is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. prescribed
B. objected to
C. protected
D. reflected on
Question 29. The word "generated" could be best replaced by

A. consumed
B. absorbed
C. designated
D. produced
Question 30. How did environmentalists manage to protect dolphins?

A. They prevented fishermen from selling them for meat.
B. They pressured fishermen into protecting dolphins by law
C. They created sanctuaries where dolphin fishing was not allowed
D. They brought political pressure against tuna companies.
Question 31. About how long have sharks lived on the planet?
A. 25 million years
B. 150 million years
C. 350 million years D. 500 million years
Question 32. The author uses the phrase "weeding out" in the passage to mean
A. strengthening something that is weak
B. feeding something that is hungry
C. encouraging something that is efficient
D. getting rid of something that is unwanted
Question 33. The phrase "managed to live" is used to infer that
