Package holidays, covering a two weeks’ stay in an attractive location are
increasingly popular, because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to
the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination.
Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing - you name it – it’s all laid on
for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother anything yourselves. You make friends
and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local
people. This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time
travelling. Of course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit historic buildings
and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous
city, with a polite reminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for the coach next morning.
You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There
is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people
you have never met before, may not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away
from. As against this, it can be argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly,
the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short period on holiday, is an added bonus.
They can sit safely back in their seat and watch the world go by.

particularly good for ________
A. schoolboys and schoolgirls B. the lonely or elderly people

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

 Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has
served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and convenient way to travel to
many parts of the world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world's population lives within 80
kilometers of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind
survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped
to supply many man's needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's
technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years.
Valuable amounts of minerals existing on the ocean floor are ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The
culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental
people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the
warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship.
Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The
development of strong, new materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the
sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent US
from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy source of the sea will be largely solved.

 It is a common saying that we do not fully value a thing until we lose it. We often
value the love and worth of a friend when he has been taken from US by death more than
when he was with US in the flesh; it is only when we have left school or college that we
understand the greatness of our opportunity of education, which has gone forever; and it is
the sick and the ailing who realize the value of good health, when we are young and strong,
we cannot imagine what it is to be weak and ailing. We are so used to vigorous health that we
take it for granted. The organs of our body work so smoothly that we scarcely know we
have lungs and liver, heart and stomach. But when any of these gets upset and gives US pain
and sickness, we learn by bitter experience what an unspeakable blessing it is to be well.
Loss of health makes US miserable, and a burden to ourselves and our friends. It
cripples our efforts so that we cannot accomplish many of the good and great things we
might have done. It spoils our life. What must we do to keep our health?
We must be moderate in eating and drinking and wise in the choice of plain,
wholesome simple food. Gluttony has killed thousands, and strong drink tens of thousands.
We must, when young, get plenty of sleep, which is "nature's sweet restorer", and not try to
burn the candle at both ends. We must live as much as possible in the open air and keep our
rooms well ventilated. We must get sufficient and regular physical exercise, and keep our
bodies clean. And we must avoid bad habits and secret sins as we avoid the devil, and keep
our thoughts clean and our bodies pure. Our ideal must be the sound mind in the sound body.

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
One of the biggest trends in television in recent years has been the rise of Reality TV‖.
These shows, in which ordinary people are placed in unusual situations and then filmed
without a script, have become some of the highest rating shows on television. Early programs
of this genre, including Big Brother (from the Netherlands) and Survivor (from the United
States), have led to dozens of copycat programs in many different countries. A common
element to many of these programs is that a number of contestants are placed in a closed
environment in which they are filmed 24 hours a day, and every week contestants are thrown
off the show. What is it about these shows that makes them so popular? Perhaps it is because
viewers enjoy watching ordinary people with real emotions being placed in extraordinary,
situations. Or perhaps it is that people are really voyeurs - they enjoy being a spy, looking
secretly into other people’s lives.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B or C on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is don’t buy an
exercise bike. Typically, people who buy them use them for a week or so and then forget
about them. There are effective if they are used regularly but you need to be determined.
Most people will find it much easier to go for a gentle jog around the park.
As well as being easy to do, jogging is also relatively cheap compared to most other
sports. You don’t need to buy expensive clothes if you’re just going running around the park
or on the beach. The main thing is that they’re comfortable, and that they keep you warm in
the winter and cool in the summer. There is one piece of equipment, however, that you will
have to spend time and money on, and that’s your running shoes. Remember that you are not
looking for a fashion item, but for something that will support your feet and protect you
from injury. They can be expensive, but if they are good quality they will last you a long
time. It’s always best to get expert advice, and the best place for that is a sports shop.
As for the actual jogging, the secret is to start gently, and not to do much at the
beginning – especially if you haven’t had any exercise for a long time. Try a mixture of
walking and running for ten minutes about three times a week at first. Once you are happy
doing that you can then start to increase the amount you do gradually. After a few months
you should hope to be able to run at reasonable speed for twenty minutes three or four times
a week. It’s important that you feel comfortable with whatever you do. If you do, you’ll start
to enjoy it and will probably keep doing it. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you’ll
probably stop after a short time and return to your bad habits. In any case, training too hard
is not very effective. Research has shown that somebody who exercise for twice as long as
or twice as hard as another person doesn’t automatically become twice as fit.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of
clean water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain,
industrial pollution and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable.
Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake
Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals
and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet,
they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the
lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the governments do not have the power
to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea
occupies 1% of the world's water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all
marine pollution. Almost sixteen countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles
offshore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean
water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution
and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect it. What
should we do to save this precious source?

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be
very useful in teaching and learning. Many schools have brought television sets, intending to
use them effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually they are rarely used
properly in classrooms. Meanwhile, children spending the majority of their out-of-school
hours watching TV and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist.

teachers. Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for
equipment repairs and maintenance so these television sets are sooner and later out of work.

television into their ongoing instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the
quality of television and its usefulness in the classroom.

become good readers. However, according a recent statistic, teenagers seldom spend their

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to
become the dominant language of international communication. English as we know it
today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were
introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the
most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as two centuries,
English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave
trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers
became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities
proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business,
banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems
worldwide is English. Two - thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English
is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic
controllers - Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half
of these are nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number of nonnative users than any
other language in the world.

Television and Kids
Television is very popular and even has some benefits for kids. It helps very young
children learn the letters of the alphabet, and helps other kids learn about science, cultures,
and world events.
However, researchers show that too much TV is bad for children. For one thing,
there is a link between watching more than four hours of TV a day and being overweight.
For another thing, many TV shows are violent and upsetting. Watching these shows may
cause kids to be more fearful. And of course, more time in front of the TV means less time
to study. Too much TV may also be the cause of lower grades.
Experts do not agree on the solution to these problems. Some say that kids should
watch only educational programs; others say kids should watch no TV at all. And others
suggest teaching them to watch TV as occasional entertainment, not as an everyday hobby.

The Beatles
 In the 1960s, the Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole

four boys from the north of England and none of them had any training in music. They
started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success
with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became

to each of the questions.
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high- quality
protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart
diseases. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two- thirds of the suggested daily
cholesterol limit. This knowledge has driven egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in
turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One
alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These eggs substitutes are not really eggs, but they look
somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having low
cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in banking. One disadvantage, however,
is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs
is a new type of egg, sometimes called "designer" eggs. These eggs are produced by hens
that are fed low- flat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In
spite of their diet, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of
cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will
not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite
scientific studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between
eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that is not the type
of eggs that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs.
Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In
fact, there is evidence that certainly dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood
cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even
designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help
reduce the blood cholesterol level.
Question 28: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To make people how about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten.
D. To convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes.
Question 29: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. Increasing price B. Decreased production
C. Dietary changes in hens D. Concerns about cholesterol
Question 30: What is meant by the phrase "mixed results"?
A. The results are blended B. The results are a composite of things.
C. The results are inconclusive. D. The results are mingled together.
Question 31: Which of the following could best replace the word "somewhat"?
A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot
Question 32: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction
of the suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 3/4 B. 2/3 C. 1/2 D. 1/3

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer

In the earliest times children got their education directly from parents and other
adults. They learned mainly skills for survival. Adults passed down this knowledge through
spoken language. Eventually cultures around the world began inventing writing. As societies
developed they set up schools to teach reading, writing, maths and other subjects.
The first schools were usually just for boys. Most of the students came from rich and
powerful families. Often the purpose of their education was religious training. In many
cultures the religious leaders formed the highest level of society. Some schools had other
purposes as well. Many schools focused on military training. Sometimes youths attended
special schools to learn the art of public speaking. These skills were meant to help them
become future leaders.
Most girls received their education at home. They learned cooking, sewing and other
useful skills. Over time education became available to more people, not just the rich and
powerful. The governments of some countries set up public systems of education in the
1800s. More schools opened to girls.
During the 1900s marks, or grades, became a new measure of learning. Testing
became a regular part of formal education. As education became more important to people,
teachers' colleges opened. The requirements for becoming a teacher became stricter.
Teaching became a highly respected profession.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
In early days no medical college took a woman student. Elizabeth Blackwell,
however, was determined to become a doctor. The young American wrote again and again to
a number of medical colleges, asking if she could be enrolled but each time the answer was
NO.
 Then one day, to her surprise, she got a letter from the dean of a college in Geneva,
which said YES.
At first Geneva College, like the other colleges, was not willing to enroll Elizabeth.
But later the important people of that college learned that Elizabeth's application had the
support of a famous doctor, and they were afraid to offend that man.
So the dean decided to play a trick by turning the matter over to the student's general
meeting of the college, thinking that the students would be the last to agree to take
Elizabeth. When the boy students met, most students took no interest in the matter. Of the
rest, some considered the young American's idea interesting and some thought by having
Elizabeth they would be proud of their college training the world's first woman doctor. Very
soon the students all agreed to accept Elizabeth.
The dean of Geneva College was of course very sorry to learn this, but seeing that he
could do nothing to keep Elizabeth out, he gave in.

American foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on
convenient and rapid consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers,
French fries, and soft drinks. By the 1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of America's
strongest exports as franchises for Me Donald's and Burger King spread through Europe and
other parts of the world, including Russia and China. Traditional meals cooked at home and
consumed at a leisurely pace gave way to quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as
other countries imitated American cultural patterns.
By the late 20lh century Americans had become more conscious of their diets, eating
more poultry, fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover
many world cuisines in forms closer to their original. In California, chefs combined fresh
fruits and vegetables available with ingredients and spices borrowed from immigrant
kitchens to create an innovative cooking style that was lighter than traditional French, but
more interesting and varied than typical American cuisine. Along with the state's wines,
California cuisine took its place among the acknowledged forms of fine dining.
