VIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Arthur Dove
Arthur Dove was an abstract nature painter whose work was radically different and underappreciated
in the American art scene.
[1] In fact, Dove was the first American artist to paint in an entirely abstract manner. [2] He painted a
set of six abstract works around 1910, prior to the European artist Wassily Kandinskys famous
abstract compositions. [3] Kandinskys abstract work, however, complemented the cultural context in
Europe, and was therefore appreciated. Doves work had no similar cultural context in America. [4]
Overall, Dove's abstract paintings did nothing to change Amercican art. His work was not once but
twice orphaned: by the general indifference of the Amercican public, and by his own reclusive
nature. Nevertheless, Dove's abstract paintings remain interesting compositions on nature.
Dove once wrote, I would like to make something that is real in itself, or to be real without looking
like something else, that does not remind anyone of any other thing, and that does not have to be
explained, like the letter A for instance.

C. Because they did not have a cultural context in America.
D. Because America was not interested in European painters.
Question 47: The word "orphaned" in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate
Television
An American TV network has had an international hit with the drama "24. a thriller known for its
suspense and often graphic violence. Over the past year, controversy has surrounded the series because
of its portrayal of Muslim terrorists and its frequent scenes of torture. But the content of 24 is not
the only thing that would have been unthinkable on primetime television 20 years ago. Its form also
represents a major change in modem TV: during each episodes 44 minutes a realtime hour, minus
16 minutes for commercials the show connects the lives of 21 different characters, each with their
own personalities and specific relationships with other characters. Nine different story lines (or
threads") arc depicted, eachinvolving events and information revealed in previous episodes. [ I ]
[2] For years many people have assumed that popular culture is in a state of decline rapidly
degenerating into junk culture" with no worthwhile purpose. But an interesting new book challenges
that assumption. Everything Bad is Good for You: How Todays Popular Culture Is Actually Making
Us Smarter," by Steven Johnson, makes a persuasive argument that todays complex TV dramas and
other pop culture Products gives healthy mental exercise. He calls the use or complex, interwoven plot
lines involving multiple characters multithreading, and it is a new and growing phenomenon in TV
To keep up with shows like 24", he points out, you must pay attention, make inferences, track
shifting social relationships", and these cognitive challenges are changng our mental development for
the better. [3]
[4] The most obvious change in the last five years of narrative entertainment is the rise of reality TV,
Surely, you might be thinking, watching Survivor" or The Bachelor cannot possibly raise anyone's
IQ Survivor is now in its tenth season, and The Bachelor is in its seventh. But as Johnson tells us
lately even the junk has improved. The new reality shows are like games: they arc series of
competitive tests, each more challenging than the last, and with rules that must be learned as you play.
On Survivor" for instance, the participants and the audience know the general objective of the game
but each episode brings new challenges that require quick thinking. Success in these games calls for
the intellectual labor of finding the weak spots in the rules and in your opponents. This labor is done
not just by the stars of the shows but the viewers at home as well. This is what makes these shows
such fun to watch the human mind enjoys being challenged. As Johnson writes, Theres real
pleasure ... in solving puzzles, detecting patterns or understanding a complex narrative system.
Question 55: What is the topic of the passage?
A. The decline of TV today B. Benefits of TV today
C. TV and culture D. Why 24 became a hit

the correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64.
James Whistler
James Whistler was born in 1834 in Massachusetts, the son of a West Point graduate and civil
engineer. [1] He moved with his family at the age of nine to St. Peterdburg, Russia, where he studied
drawing. At age 14, he joined his sister her husband in London to continue his studies in art. A year
later, following the death of his father, he returned to America and lived in Connecticut. He attended
but flunked out of West Point because of his inadquacies in chemistry. [2] Affronted at what he
considered to be Americas poor treatment of artists, and perhaps because of his academic failure,
Whistler moves to Europe permanently in 1855 at the age of 21. He first lived and studied in Paris,
where he was influenced by Coubets Realism and was associated with the avant garde.
Whistler moved to London four years later and became known for his outspokenness,
controversy,
expensive lifestyle and frequent debt. [3] In 1866 he traveled to Chile, returning to London a year
later. By 1879, he was bankrupt, and went to Venice for a year, where be was commissioned to create
a series paintings of the city. By the late 1880s he had achieved international fame, and was president
of the Society of British Artists from 1886 to 1888. He published his manifesto, theGentle Art of
Making Enemies, in 1890. In 1888 at the age of 54 he married Beatrix Godwin, a widow who died
eight years later of cancer, Whistler followed her in death seven years later, at the age of 69[4].
Whistler's paintings are well-regarded, though he never achieved greatness; nevertheless, he
considered to have been a major influence in England's modern art movement. He hated the narrative,
and he refused to teach morals through art. He rejected scenes of ordinary life, preferring to depict
well-designed moments. Critics have noted that the placid nature of his paintings was in sharp
contrast to the wildness of his lifestyle. One of his more famous works, generally referred to as
Whistler's Mother" but which he controversially titled "Arrangement in Grey and Black, NO. 1
places him in the pantheon of American artists. It is thus ironic that he spent his adult life in Europe,
primarily in England, and that painting of his mother was purchased by government of France and
resides in the Museed Orsay of Paris.

wrong. Reading books brings me minutes of happiness and pleasures. I have found a source of
consolation and encouragement in books when I am in despair. They're my true companions indeed.
How relieved and comforted I feel when I can find in good books good teachers and friends! Instead
of indulging myself in futile entertainments, I often absorbed in reading interesting books which
always have miracles to soothe my sorrows and hardships and reveal to me strange and new horizons.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a
substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for
example, rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons
sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into
contact with the substance. After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body
becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you
have a food allergy, since it can show up so many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by
many other problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches,
irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts,
seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not develop if these foods are not
fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months. Breast milk also tends to be
protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenathylamine, monosodium
glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour
cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental
and prepared foods (read the labels!). Some people have been successful in treating their migraines
with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are hyperactive may
benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their
diets. A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular
by Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book Why your Child is Hyperactive. Other researchers
have had mixed results when testing whether the diet is effective.
35. The topic of this passage is _______________.
A. reactions to foods B. food and nutrition C. infants and allergies D. a good diet
36. According to the passage, the difficulty in diagnosing allergies to foods is due to ___________.

Iron production was revolutionized in the early eighteenth century when coke was first used instead
of charcoal for refining iron ore. Previously the poor quality of the iron had restricted its use in
architecture to items such as chains and tie bars for supporting arches, vaults, and walls. With the
improvement in refining ore, it was now possible to make cast-iron beams, columns, and girders.
During the nineteenth century further advances were made, notably Bessemer's process for converting
iron into steel, which made the material more commercially viable.
Iron was rapidly adopted for the construction of bridges, because its strength was far greater than that
of stone or timber, but its use in the architecture of buildings developed more slowly. By 1800 a
complete internal iron skeleton for buildings had been developed in industrial architecture replacing
traditional timber beams, but it generally remained concealed. Apart from its low cost, the appeal of
iron as a building material lay in its strength, its resistance to fire, and its potential to span vast areas.
As a result, iron became increasingly popular as a structural material for more traditional styles of
architecture during the nineteenth century, but it was invariably concealed.
Significantly, the use of exposed iron occurred mainly in the new building types spawned by the
Industrial Revolution: in factories, warehouses, commercial offices, exhibition hall, and railroad
stations, where its practical advantages far outweighed its lack of status. Designers of the railroad
stations of the new age explored the potential of iron, covering huge areas with spans that surpassed
the great vaults of medieval churches and cathedrals. Paxton's Crystal Palace, designed to house the
Great Exhibition of 1851, covered an area of 1.848 feet by 408 feet in prefabricated units of glass set
in iron frames. The Paris Exhibition of 1889 included both the widest span and the greatest height
achieved so far with the Halle Des Machines, spanning 362 feet, and the Eiffel Tower 1,000 feet high.
However, these achievements were mocked by the artistic elite of Paris as expensive and ugly follies.
Iron, despite its structural advantages, had little aesthetic status. The use of an exposed iron structure
in the more traditional styles of architecture was slower to develop.
55. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Advances in iron processing in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
B. The effects of the Industrial Revolution on traditional architectural styles
C. Advantages of stone and timber over steel as a building material
D. The evolution of the use of iron in architecture during the 1800's
56. The word "revolutionized" is closest in meaning to _______.
A. quickly started B. gradually opened
C. dramatically changed D. carefully examined

eighteenth century because _______.
A. all available iron was needed for other purposes
B. limited mining capability made iron too expensive
C. iron was considered too valuable for use in public buildings
D. the use of charcoal for refining ore produced poor quality iron
58. Iron replaced stone and timber in the building of bridges because iron was considered ______.
A. more beautiful B. new and modern
C. much stronger D. easier to transport
59. The word "it" refers to _________.
A. industrial architecture B. internal iron skeleton
C. stone D. strength

Environment contains water, soil, air, which are necessary to all of the livings. Therefore, we are
trying to find solutions to environmental pollution. People should stop cutting trees for timber instead
of planting trees and forests. Besides, people should reduce using cars, motorbikes that cause noise
and air pollution. The next measure is that we should prevent farmers from using fertilizers and
pesticides that damage soil. In addition, people should not leave litter on land and in water and we
should prohibit factories from dumping industrial waste into rivers and lakes. It is high time
governments had suitable measures that require companies, as well as individuals, to stop cutting
down and polluting activities.

correct word or phrase for each of the blanks.
Cutting the Apron Strings
There is substantial evidence that students going off to college have changed over the years. For one
thing, studies show that they are emotionally closer to their parents and their parents to them. One
thing that means is that they depend on each other more for happiness. It puts a burden on children for
parents to use their children as vehicles for their own happiness although today's young people
seem complicit in this arrangement, perhaps because they've known no other way even if it creates
anxiety in the children. That's one reason parents like to be involved in their children's college
experiences, and colleges have had to devise novel ways of getting parents off campus when they
transport their kids to school.
There's also evidence that students today seem to be choosing schools with reference to proximity to
home. The closer a student is to home, the easier it is to bring the laundry home and to land in your old
bed with tea and sympathy when you have the sniffles. And the easier it is for parents to visit you at
university whenever the mood strikes. The amount of visiting parents do is far more than in
generations past.
But in a real sense, students don't really leave their parents behind. Their parents go to college right
along with them in their front pockets. That is, the parents are a speed dial away by cellphone. And
the evidence is clear that students call parents and parents call students at an alarmingly frequent rate.
This, of course, significantly reduces independence. A student doesn't get the chance to solve minor
problems on his own he just calls Mom or Dad. A student has initial problems getting along with a
roommate? A roommate doesn't do laundry as often as the other roommate wishes (I'm talking about
actual incidents, not hypothetical ones? A student gets a C on her first paper? Instead of absorbing the
negative information and figuring out how to resolve the problem or how to do better, the call gets
made to home, where Mom or Dad solves the problem, often by calling the school administration.
This kind of behavior is, sadly, commonplace today and is a mark of the lack of coping skills among
students because all the lumps and bumps have been taken out of life for them until now.
In addition to being tethered to parents, incoming freshmen are now very heavily connected (by
cellphone) to classmates from high school, who are presumably at other colleges. So there isn't the
great impetus to mix and venture forth to meet new people, to get out of one's comfort zone, to get
drawn into new experiences, that has traditionally marked the beginning of freshman year. The laws of
physics still apply, and it is difficult to be meeting new people and seeking novel experiences while
you are talking to your old pals.

correct word or phrase for each of the blanks.
One of the most famous concert halls in America is the Carnegie Hall in New York. Initially, it was
called simply the 'Music Hall', but three years after its opening it was renamed in honour of Andrew
Carnegie, the man who had provided much of the finance for its building.
The Hall officially opened on May 5, 1891. Since then the Hall has played host to the giants of
classical music, as well as those of jazz, pop, folk and rock music, and has also been used for political
rallies, religious services and lectures.
One of the most dramatic lectures given in the Hall took place during its first year. This began simply
as a talk accompanied by slides of paintings of sunsets and landscapes, which was what the audience
had been expecting. However, as the lecture progressed, the effects became more dramatic, with
thunder, rolling clouds and steam billowing over the audience's head while mechanical volcanoes
exploded on stage - all to the amazement and delight of the audience.
In 1927 the violinist Yehudi Menuhin made his appearance at the Carnegie Hall for the first time - he
was aged ten. In the afternoon before the performance, he was wandering around the Hall instead of
practising and was fascinated by an axe which he saw on the wall. The axe was for use in a fire but the
boy, not knowing this, asked a security guard what it was for. The guard made an impression with his
reply: "That's for chopping the heads off soloists who don't play well enough. Quite a few have
already been chopped off." Yehudi went rushing back to practise.
On one occasion another famous violinist and a pianist were giving a performance together when the
violinist got lost in the music. He anxiously looked to the pianist for help and whispered "Where are
we?". He received the less than helpful reply "In the Carnegie Hall".
Rock and roll made its first appearance at the Carnegie Hall in 1955 with Bill Haley and his Comets.
In 1964 the British invasion arrived when the Beatles played their first concert here. On the day of the
concert, cars came to a halt all over the city and the crowds surrounding the building were enormous.
Fortunately, in all the chaos nobody was seriously injured and the Hall escaped with only minor
damage.
In the 1950s the building was threatened with demolition but a vigorous campaign to save it was led
by the conductor, Isaac Stern. In 1960 the Hall was purchased by the City of New York and a few
years later it was named a national landmark. Over the years the most famous musicians, singers and
entertainers in the world have appeared there - no doubt they will continue to do so for many years to
come.

In the future, students may have the choice of studying at home by using technology such as
computers or television, or of studying at traditional school. Which would you prefer?
Example:
Technology is so increasingly advanced that going to school may be unnecessary for future education.
However, traditional schools still offer more indispensable benefits that outweigh technology. First
and foremost, direct guide from lecturers can make learning more easily and seriously. Teachers
voice, eye contact and varied teaching methods make the lesson more interesting to listen to. Students
can also satisfied by chances of exchanging more information and receiving greater care from
teachers. Besides, with teachers assignment and homework, more pressure is placed on study. Another
advantage to mention is the development of related skills when going to school. Schools are mini
societies that promote communication skill as well as relationship among students through daily
school- preparation and conversation. Last but not least, studying at traditional school is much
healthier. Instead of sitting at home for hours to learn, learners have to travel and play at break. Their
eyes will be less affected while their body are more energetic. In sum, traditional schools provide
better study environment than technological study at home.

Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.
Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is
a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for
letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression.
Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used
internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally.
A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval,
while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the
fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide,
warn, and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also
express human thoughts and feelings.

Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springsdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology at college
and zoology at Johns Hopkins University, where she received her masters degree in 1933. In 1936,
she was hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life.
Carsons 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 oceans 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 nontechnical readers.
In 1962, Carson published Silent 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 fish, and contaminate human food. At the 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 proved by a 1963 report of the Presidents
Science Advisory Committee.

Part 2:
Health is considered to be the most valuable thing one possesses. And the simplest, cheapest, but the
most effective way to better ones health is doing regular exercise. One advantage of doing exercise is
to reduce stress. Doing regular exercise helps the body produce happy chemicals that make the
exercisers reduce the worries about life and work as well as forget the boredom and unhappiness.
Another benefit exercising brings us is that we will feel more energetic to face and overcome our daily
difficulties. Doing exercise helps us reduce the possibilities of being ill, protects us from some fatal
diseases as heart disease, cancers and diabetes. Regular exercisers are believed to have healthier,
happier and longer lives. The other good thing is that doing exercise helps us feel more self-confident.
We know exactly what we can do or what abilities, talents we have. We will think positively, do
confidently, and lead an optimistic life if we practice exercising regularly. Controlling our weight
effectively is another value. Perspiration occurs when we exercise, which helps our bodies get rid of
bad things inside. Fats are burnt during our practicing exercise, which helps us to keep fit. To sum up,
doing exercise enables people to have good body-buildings, keep fit and brings exercisers many
benefits. Sparing time doing exercise will ensure us a longer, healthier and happier life.
