Taking piano lessons and solving math puzzles on a computer significantly improve specific math skills of elementary
schoolchildren, according to a new study. The results, (23) were published in the journal
Neurological Research, are the latest in a series that links musical training to the development of higher brain functions.
Researchers worked with 135 second-grade students at a school in Los Angeles after (24) a
pilot study with 102 students. Children that were given four months of piano training as well as time playing (25)

newly designed computer software scored 27 percent higher on math and fraction tests than other children.
Piano instruction is thought to enhance the brain’s “hard wiring” for spatial-temporal reasoning, or the ability to
visualize and transform objects in space and time, says Professor Gordon Shaw, who led the study. At the same time, the
computer game allows children to solve geometric and math puzzles that boost their ability to
(26) shapes in their mind.
The findings are significant (27) a grasp of proportional math and fractions is a prerequisite to math at
higher levels, and children who do not master these areas of math cannot understand move advanced math that is critical to
high-tech fields.

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.

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)

A. The importance of team spirit in sport

.
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?

B. A team with badly-behaved players will not win a game.

Urban development is having a direct impact on the weather in many cities worldwide. It has been noticed that the difference
(23) temperature is usually greater at night and the phenomenon occurs in both winner and
summer. Experts agree that this is due to urban development, when open green spaces are replaced with asphalt roads and
tall brick or concrete buildings. These materials retain heat generated by the Sun and release it through the night. In Atlanta, in
the US, this has even led to thunderstorms (24) occur in the morning
rather than, as is more common, in the afternoon.
Large cities around the world are adopting strategies to combat this issue (25) it is not uncommon to
find plants growing on top of roofs or down the walls or large buildings. In Singapore, the government has (26)

to transform it into a “city within a garden” and, in 2006, they held an international competition calling for entries to
develop a master plan to help bring this about. One outcome was the creation of 18 “Supertrees” – metal constructions
resembling very tall trees. Each one is a vertical freestanding garden and is (27) to
exotic plants and ferns. They also contain solar panels used to light the trees at night and also containers to collect
rainwater, making them truly self-sufficient.

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.

A. split B. rot C. perish D. shrink

A. organisms B. bodies C. parts D. muscles

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 .

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 "?"
Question 30: A. did B. had C. made D. took
Question 31: A. where B. that C. who D. when
Question 32: A. true B. accurate C. exact D. precise

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
Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word(s) CLOSEST in meaning to the

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.

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.

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?

B. When elements from other American music combined.
C. After the hit “Maple Leaf Rag” was written.
D. In the late 1800s.
Question 42: Scott Joplin and Bessie Smith were .

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

heartbreak that lies in store for them. Swept up by the excitement and desperate to win, tempers soon get frayed. One girl finds
herself disqualified from the egg and spoon race despite giving it everything she’s got, and another boy, (28) jealous of the

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.

Working mothers
Because an increasing number of people are opting to work outside the traditional office, notebook PCs are becoming
more and more popular. However, you should know that notebook PCs aren't for everyone. As you
(27) up the pros and cons of your desktop PC with a new system, you should bear (28)
mind that you may get better profit for your money by investing in a faster, more powerful desktop PC.
Portability comes at a price. Leave your laptop unattended for any length of time in any sort of public place and you will
quickly discover that it has been stolen. You could even lose it without any intentional neglect on your area; laptops (and all
the business and personal information they contain) are easy (29) for
skilled thieves. So, yes, there are definitely serious security issues. Also, if you are prone to tossing your laptop around as you
do your purse, workout bag or umbrella, youēll probably break it before you get your money's worth. Guarantees are
getting better and longer, but they still wonēt cover a simple slip, let alone (30)
carelessness. So, before you (31) out to get yourself the
latest technological appliance, think long and hard as to whether a notebook PC is really suitable for you.

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.
Question 37: The word “eventually” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to .
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 .
A. chips B. tissues C. voltages D. researchers

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
C. make fun of runners in costume D. give reasons for the popularity of foot races
Question 20: Which of following is NOT implied by author?
A. Foot races appeal to a variety of people.

Question 21: The word “beat” as used in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by which of the following?

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
Question 23: The word “costumes” as used in paragraph 2 most likely refers to .
A. outfits B. uniforms C. cloaks D. suits

School lunch
Research has shown that over half the children in Britain who take their own lunches to school do not eat (26)
in the middle of the day. In Britain, schools have to (27) meals at lunchtime. Children can
choose to bring their own food or have lunch at the school canteen.
One shocking finding of the research is that school meals are much healthier than lunches prepared by parents. There
are strict (28) for the preparation of school meals, which have to include one
(29) of fruit and one of vegetables, as well as meat, a dairy item and starchy food like break or pasta.
Lunchboxes examined by researchers contained sweet drinks, crisps and chocolate bars. Children consume twice as
much sugar as they should at lunchtime.
The research will provide a better understanding (30) why the percentage of overweight in
Britain has increased in the last decade. Unfortunately, the government can’t criticize parents, but it can remind them of the
nutritional value of milk, fruit and vegetables. Small changes in their children’s diet can affect their future health. Children can
easily develop bad eating habits at this age, and parents are the only ones who can prevent it.
Question 26: A. appropriately B. properly C. probably D. possibly
Question 27: A. give B. provide C. make D. do
Question 28: A. standards B. procedures C. conditions D. ways

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)

= If there were no water, life wouldn’t exist.

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 .
A. unaided B. without glasses C. with little hesitation D. easily
Question 28: According to the passage, why might birds and animals consider humans very visually 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

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

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
lots of friends come to stay, you can always dig another room.
Question 30: A. brought B. entered C. placed D. worked
Question 31: A. sizes B. areas C. volumes D. numbers
Question 32: A. strongly B. heavily C. extremely D. sharply
Question 33: A. through B. over C. across D. off
Question 34: A. grows B. rises C. stretches D. explodes
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. Thehigh 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

Many parents believe that they should begin to teach their children to read when they are slightly more than toddlers. This is
fine if the child shows a real interest but forcing a child could be counterproductive if she isn't ready. Wise parents will have a
(23) attitude and take the lead from their child. What they should provide
is a selection of (24) toys, books and other activities. Nowadays there is plenty of good material
available for young children, and of course, seeing plenty of books in use about the house will also encourage them to
read.
Of course, books are no longer the only source of stories and information. There is also a huge range
of videos, (25) can reinforce and extend the pleasure a child finds in a book and are (26)
valuable in helping to increase vocabulary and concentration. Television gets a bad review as far as children are concerned,
mainly because too many spend too much time watching programs not intended for their age group. Too many television
programs induce an incurious, uncritical attitude that is going to make learning much more difficult. However, (27)
viewing of programs designed for young children can be useful. Just as adults enjoy
reading a book after seeing it serialised on television, so children will pounce on books which feature their favourite
television characters, and videos can add a new dimension to a story known from a book. Question 23: A. cheerful

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.

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.
