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.
After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United
States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a substantial increase in
enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990,
the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3
percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue.

There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many
graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street,
or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to
students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA
degrees. Students have asked the question "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting
a good job?" The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of
entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new
demands.
Question 31. What is the main focus of this passage?
A. jobs on Wall Street B. types of graduate degrees
C. changes in enrollment for MBA schools D. how schools are changing to reflect the economy
Question 32. The phrase "two decades" in line 1 refers to a period of _________.
A. 10 years B. 20 years C. 50 years D. 100 years
Question 33. Which of the following business schools has NOT shown a decrease in enrollment?
A. Princeton B. Harvard C. Stanford D. Yale
Question 34. As used in paragraph 2, the word "seeking" could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. examining B. avoiding C. seizing D. pursuing
Question 35. Which of the following descriptions most likely applies to Wall Street?
A. a center for international affairs B. a major financial center
C. a shopping district D. a neighborhood in New York
Question 36. According to the passage, what are two causes of declining business school enrollments?
A. lack of necessity for an MBA and an economic recession
B. low salary and foreign competition
C. fewer MBA schools and fewer entry-level jobs
D. declining population and economic prosperity
Question 37. The word "cutting" in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. wounding B. reducing C. dividing D. carving

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.
Early peoples had no need of engineering works to supply their water. Hunters and nomads camped near
natural sources of fresh water, and populations were so sparse that pollution of the water supply was not a
serious problem. After community life developed and agricultural villages became urban centres, the problem
of supplying water became important for inhabitants of a city, as well as for irrigation of the farms surrounding
the city. Irrigation works were known in prehistoric times, and before 2000 BC the rulers of Babylonia and
Egypt constructed systems of dams and canals to impound the flood waters of the Euphrates and Nile rivers,
controlling floods and providing irrigation water throughout the dry season. Such irrigation canals also
supplied water for domestic purposes. The first people to consider the sanitation of their water supply were the
ancient Romans, who constructed a vast system of aqueducts to bring the clean waters of the Apennine
Mountains into the city and built basins and filters along these mains to ensure the clarity of the water. The
construction of such extensive water-supply systems declined when the Roman Empire disintegrated, and for
several centuries local springs and wells formed the main source of domestic and industrial water.
The invention of the force pump in England in the middle of the 16th century greatly extended the possibilities
of development of water-supply systems. In London, the first pumping waterworks was completed in 1562; it
pumped river water to a reservoir about 37 m above the level of the River Thames and from the reservoir the
water was distributed by gravity, through lead pipes, to buildings in the vicinity.
Increased per-capita demand has coincided with water shortages in many countries. Southeast England, for
example, receives only 14 per cent of Britain's rainfall, has 30 per cent of its population, and has experienced
declining winter rainfall since the 1980s.
In recent years a great deal of interest has been shown in the conversion of seawater to fresh water to provide
drinking water for very dry areas, such as the Middle East. Several different processes, including distillation,
electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, and direct-freeze evaporation, have been developed for this purpose. Some of
these processes have been used in large facilities in the United States. Although these processes are successful,
the cost of treating seawater is much higher than that for treating fresh water.
