I. Read the passage and circle the best option A, B, C, or D to complete the following questions or statements:

Psychologist have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be develop. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.

It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine an d fuel.” Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly birth and brought up by different parents. They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment.

One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.

This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link between intelligence and socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect the intelligence.

Gifted people can not be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining. People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:

• Marry an intelligent person.
• Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
• Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.

• Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instrument is essential for a child who wants to become an outstanding musician.

1: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that ______.

1. different twins generally have different levels of ability
2. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement

4. ability depends both on intelligence and environment

  4. each twin has the same environment as his/ her twin
• How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development?
  1. They practice playing their instruments for many years
  2. They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic
  3. They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas
  4. Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured
• The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow ______.
  1. only their interests in computer gamesonly their interests in musical instruments

Read the passage and circle the best option A, B, C, or D to complete the following questions or statements:

 

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct.

 

What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet.

 

Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves. They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed.

READING.

Read the following passage and choose the right answer to fill in each of the blanks.

Keeping fit and staying healthy have, not surprisingly, become a growth industry (41)

apart from the amount of money spent each year on doctors’ (42)

and

approved

medical  treatment,  huge

sums are now spent on health foods and (43)

of various kinds, from vitamin pills to mineral water, (44)

health clubs and keep- fit books and videos. We are more concerned than ever, it seeems, (45)

the water we drink and the air we breathe, and are smoking less, though not yet drinking less alcohol. This

does not appear to mean that (46)

and sneezes have been banished, or that we can all expect to live

to a hundred. To give a personal example, one of my friends, who is a keep- fit (47)

,  a  non-  smoker

and teetotaler, and who is very (48)

about what he eats, is at present languishing in bed with a wrist in

(49)

and a badly sprained ankle. Part of his healthy (50)

is to play squash every day after

work, and that (51)

for the ankle. He also cycles everywhere, and if you have ever tried to cycle

through the rush-hour traffic with a sprained ankle, you will understand (52)

he  acquired  the  broken

wrist. For (53)

, it seems, is not just a matter of a good (54)

exercise can be harmful, as many joggers have discovered. Eating the right food can easily become an obsession, as

can overworking, which you might have to do so as to be able to afford your (55)					of the squash club, your
mountain bike, your health food, and a few holidays in peaceful and healthy places.

The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the foods supply is unsafe or inadequate in the meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and formed the basic for folklore.

Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder fo ods. Thre are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like.

One thing that most organically grown foods products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy expensive organic foods instead.

56. The “ welcome development” mentioned in paragraph 2 is an increase in .
57. interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans.
58. the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet.
59. the amount of healthy foods grown in North America.
60. the number of consumers in North America.
61. According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term “ organic foods” ?
62. It is accepted by most nutritionists. B. It has been used only in recent years.
63. It has no fixed meaning D. It is seldom used by consumers.

58. The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods instead

of conventionally grown foods because                               .

1. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods.
2. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods.
3. conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods.
4. too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops.
5. According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than conventionally

grown foods are often			.
A. careless		B. mistaken	C. thrifty	D. wealthy
60. What is the author’s attitude towards the claims made by advocates of health foods?
A. Very anthusiastic		B. Skeptical	C. Neutral	D. Somewhat favorable

For a long time, amphibians were confused with reptiles. Like reptiles, they have three-chambered hearts and are cold-blooded. Some amphibians, such as salamanders, are even shaped like lizards. However, unlike reptiles, amphibians never have claws on their toes or scales on their bodies. Furthermore, the eggs of amphibians lack shells, so they must be laid in water or in moist places.

Amphibians were the first creatures to spend sizable amounts of their lives on land. The larvae of most amphibians, such as frog tadpoles, are born with gills and live in water. However, their gills disappear as they develop lungs. Most retain the ability to breathe through the moist surface of their skin. This comes in handy when they hibernate in the bottom mud of lakes and ponds during the coldest months. They take in the small amount of oxygen they need through their skin. Some amphibians undergo what is known as a “double metamorphosis”, changing not only from gill breathers to lung breathers but also from vegetarians to insectivores.

Although the amphibian class is rather small in number of species, it shows great diversity. There are three major types. The caecilians of the tropics are long, legless, burrowing creatures. Caudate amphibians, such as newts and salamanders, mostly have long tails and stubby legs. Salientians, which include both frogs and toads, are tailless as adults and have powerful hind legs. Toads differ from frogs primarily in that they have dry, warty skin.

Câu 33:  The term “scales” is closest to which of the following in meaning?

1. Plates covering the bodies of certain animals. B. Proportions between different sets of dimensions.
2. Devices used to measure weight. D. Sounds made by various animals.

Câu 34: According to the passage, the term “double metamorphosis” refers to the fact that amphibians _____.

1. change both the shape of their bodies and the way in which they lay eggs B. change both their methods of breathing and their feeding habits
2. first breathe through their gills, then through their lungs, then through their skin D. first live in the water, then on land, then in mud in the bottom of ponds and lakes

i câu, t 69 ñn 80

Galaxies are not evenly distributed throughout the universe. A few are found alone, but almost all are grouped in formations termed galactic clusters. These formations should not be confused with stellar clusters, globular clusters of stars that exist within a galaxy. The size of galactic clusters varies enormously, with some clusters containing only a dozen or so members and others containing as many as 10,000. Moreover, galactic clusters themselves are part of larger clusters of clusters, termed superclusters. It is surmised that even clusters of superclusters are possible.

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a galactic cluster called the Local Group, which has twenty members and is typical in terms of the types of galaxies it contains. There are three large spiral galaxies: Andromeda, the largest galaxy in the group; the Milky Way, the second-largest galaxy; and the Trianglum Spiral, the third largest. There are also four medium-sized spiral galaxies, including the Large Cloud of Magellan and the Small Cloud of Magellan. There are four regular elliptical galaxies; the remainders are dwarf ellipticals. Other than our own galaxy, only Andromeda and the Clouds of Magellan can be seen with the naked eye, and the Clouds are visible only from the Southern Hemisphere.

In the vicinity of the Local Group are several clusters, each containing around twelve members. The nearest cluster rich in members is the Virgo Cluster, which contains thousands of galaxies of all types. Like most large clusters, it emits X-rays. The Local Group, the small neighboring clusters, and the Virgo Cluster form part of a much larger cluster of clusters – the Local Supercluster.

The existence of galactic clusters presented a riddle to scientists for many years – the “missing mass” problem. Clusters are presumably held together by the gravity generated by their members. However, measurements showed that the galaxies did not have enough mass to explain their apparent stability. Why didn’t these clusters disintegrate? It is now thought that galaxies contain great amounts of “ dark matter”, which cannot be directly observed but which generates gravitational pull.

This matter includes gas, dust, burnt-out stars, and even black holes.

Câu 69:  Which of the followings does the passage mainly discuss?

1. An astronomical problem that has never been solved. B. A recent development in astronomy.

1. Clusters and superclusters of galaxies. D. The incredible distance between galaxies.

1. They are outnumbered by galaxies that do occur in clusters. B. They are not actually galaxies but

parts of galaxies.

1. They have never been observed. D. They are larger than other galaxies.

Câu 72:  The word “globular” is closest in meaning to _____.

1. immense B. spherical C. dense                               D. brilliant

Câu 73:  The author would probably characterize the existence of clusters of superclusters as _____.

1. certain B. surprising C. theoretical                     D. impossible

Câu 74:  According to the passage, in what way is the Local Group typical of galactic clusters?

1. In its size. B. In its shape.

Question 81-85

How can we keep our teeth healthy? First, we ought to visit our dentist twice a

year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and flouride toothpaste at least twice a day, once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, vegetables and fresh fruit.

Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are			bad,	especially when we eat them between meals. They
are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.

Question 86-90

In 1920, after some 39 years of problems with diseases, high cost and politics, The Panama Canal was officially opened, finally linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass through the fifty-mile canal zone instead of travelling some seven thousands miles around Cape Horn. It takes a ship approximately eight hours to complete the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand dollars, one tenth of what it would cost an average ship to round the Horn.

Question 91 – 95

Romantic love is often the basis for marriage in Australia; young adults meet their future spouses at school, at jobs and in organizations and religious institutions. Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents would approve of their choices. In many families,

Question 81- 85

How can we keep our teeth healthy? First, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and flouride toothpaste at least twice a day, once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.

Question 86-90

Language, the way we express ourselves, is a vital part of learning. A baby learns his native tongue naturally by hearing speech around him. If the speech he hears is rapid, not clear and never directed at him then he learns slowly and speaks badly. A child of two or three who can’t make his desires known or put his thoughts into words will usually become angry. His relationships with other get worse. If the speech a baby hears around him is clear, and his family talk to him, he will gain a satisfactory command of language directly, by his mother, his language ability will be greater. By the time he is two, it is quite possible for him to have a vocabulary of two thousand words and by the time he is three he will be able to read. Once ahead he will stay ahead.

Question 91 – 95

Romantic love is often the basis for marriage in Australia; young adults meet their future spouses at school, at jobs and in organizations and religious institutions. Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents would approve of their choices. In many families,

The Japanese have perhaps the strictest rules of social and business behaviour. Seniority is very important, and a younger man should never be sent to complete a business deal with an older Japanese man. It is also important to exchange business cards immediately on meeting because it is essential to establish everyone’s position. when it is handed to a person in a superior position, it must be given and received with both hands, and you must take time to read it carefully, and not just put it in your pocket.

1. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.

Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wale. Unusually, it gives young people much needed experience of life outside the classroom as well as the opportunity to study for their exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the world, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.

One of the great things about Atlantic College, students is that they come from many different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available. A quarter of the students are British and many of those can only attend because they receive government’s help.

“I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understandings among young people”, as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. “You learn to live with people and respect them, even the ones you don’t like. During the summer holidays my mother couldn’t believe how much less I argued with my sister.”

To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really seem to work.

52. give an opinion about a particular student.

54. describe his own experience of education.

57. how to become a student at Atlantic College.
58. what kind of program Atlantic College offers.
59. what the British education system is like.
60. how to get along better with other people.
61. What is the writer’s opinion of Atlantic College?
62. It doesn’t allow students enough study time.
63. Its students are taught to like each other.
64. It doesn’t give good value for money.
65. Its way of teaching is successful.
66. How has Barbara changed since being at Atlantic College?
67. She knows a lot about other countries.
68. She is more confident than her sister now.
69. She finds it easier to get on with other people.
70. She prefers her new friends to her family.
71. Which advertisement uses correct information about Atlantic College?

Probably the most important factor governing the sererity of forest fires is weather. Hot, dry weather lowers the moisture content of fuels.once a fire has started,wind is extremely critical because it influences the oxygen supply and the rate of spread. Forest type and forest conditions are also important factors. For example, fire is more likely to occur in conifers than in hardwoods; slash-covered or brushy areas are especially hazardous because the rate at which combustion consumes fuels is proportional to fuel volume and surface area.

Some fies are caused by lightning; others are caused by people. Those caused by people may be accidental or intertional ( incendiary). The causes of fire in the United States show large regional differences. In the Rocky Moutains more than 70 percent of the fires are caused by lightning, whereas incendiary fires amount to only about 1 percent. In contrast, more than 40 percent of the fires in the South are incendiary, whereas lightning causes only 1 percent.

One of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 BC. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction make it one of the truly great wonders of the world. The thirteen- acre structure near the Nile River is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber for the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the Pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true North, South, East and West- an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.

Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many interesting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events- past present and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers and this one is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial being of the ancient past. Was this superstructure made by ordinary being, or one built by a race far superior to any known today?

2. to permit the high priests to pray at night
3. to enable the pharaoh’s family to bring food for the journey after life.
4. to keep grave robbers from finding the tomb and the treasure buried with the pharaoh.

54:  What is the best title for the passage?

1. Symbolism of the great Pyramid
2. Problem with the construction of the Great Pyramid
3. Wonders of the Great Pyramid of Giza .
4. Explorations of the Burial Chamber of Cheops.

55:  On what did the ancient Egyptians base their calculation?

Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D.

Many years ago, people often said  “a woman’s place is in the home ”. But Americans do not feel that way any more. Today, women make up about 43 percent of the America labor force. There are about 45 million working women in the United States, and a large number of them are married women with children. In 1980, for the first time in the nation’s history there were more working wives than household wives. Looking back to 1940, we can see a picture of some very rapid change. In 1940, only 15 percent of married women held jobs.

Today,  most young women choose to work even when they have young children. Why do they work? The most important reason is that they need to earn money. But another reason is that women today are better educated and they have more opportunities to work in various professions than women had earlier.

As far back as 700B.C., man has talked about children being cared for by wolves. Romuhts and Remus, the legendary twin founders of-Rome, were purported to have been cared for by wolves. It is believed that when a she-wolf loses ‘her litter, she seeks a human child to take its place.

This seemingly preposterous idea did not become credible until the late tenth century when a French doctor actually found a naked ten year-old boy wandering in the woods. He did not walk erect, could not speak intelligibly, nor could he relate to people. He only growled and stared at them. Finally the doc­tor won the boy’s confidence and began to work with him.

5. Read the passage and the questions or unfinished sentences, then choose the best answer for each.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun and hides at least some part of the Sun from the earth. In a partial eclipse, the Moon covers part of the Sun; in an annual eclipse, the Moon covers the center of the Sun, leaving a bright ring of light around the Moon; in a total eclipse, the Sun is completely covered by the Moon.

It seems rather improbable that a celestial body size of the Moon could completely block out the tremendously immense Sun, as happens during a total eclipse, but this is exactly what happens. Although the Moon is considerably smaller in size than the Sun, the Moon is able to cover the Sun because of their relative distances from Earth. A total eclipse can last up to 7 minutes, during which time the Moon’s shadow moves across Earth at a rate of about 6 kilometers per second.

37. describes how long an eclipse will last.

49. Square b. Cover c. Evaporate d. Shrink
50. According to the passage, how can the Moon hide the Sun during a total eclipse?
51. The fact that the Moon is closer to Earth than the Sun makes up for the Moon’s smaller size.
52. The Moon can only obscure the Sun because of the Moon’s great distance from the Earth.
53. Because the Sun is relatively close to Earth, the Sun can be eclipsed by the Moon.

Most people think of deserts as dry, flat areas with little vegetation and little or no rainfall, but this is hardly true. Many deserts have varied geographical formations ranging from soft, rolling hills to stark, jagged cliffs, and most deserts have a permanent source of water. Although deserts do not receive a high amount of rainfall – to be classified as a desert, an area must get less than twenty-five centimeters of rainfall per year – there are many plants that thrive on only small amounts of water, and deserts are often full of such plant life.

Desert plants have a variety of mechanisms for obtaining the water needed for survival. Some plants, such as cactus, are able to store large amounts of water to last until the next rainfall. Other plants, such as the mesquite, have extraordinarily deep root systems that allow them to obtain water from far below the desert’s arid surface.

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 from 61 to 70.

The hippopotamus is the third largest land animal, smaller only than the elephant and the rhinoceros. Its name comes from two Greek words which mean “river horse”. The long name of this animal is often shortened to the easier to handle term “hippo.”

The hippo has a natural affinity for the water. It does not float on top of the water; instead, it can easily walk along the bottom of a body of water. The hippo commonly remains underwater for three to five minutes and has been known to stay under for up to half an hour before coming up for air.

In spite of its name, the hippo has relatively little in common with the horse and instead has a number of interesting similarities in common with the whale. When a hippo comes up after a stay at the bottom of a lake or river, it releases air through a blowhole, just like a whale.

1. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.

Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wale. Unusually, it gives young people much needed experience of life outside the classroom as well as the opportunity to study for their exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the world, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.

One of the great things about Atlantic College, students is that they come from many different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available. A quarter of the students are British and many of those can only attend because they receive government’s help.

“I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understandings among young people”, as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. “You learn to live with people and respect them, even the ones you don’t like. During the summer holidays my mother couldn’t believe how much less I argued with my sister.”

To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really seem to work.

52. give an opinion about a particular student.

58. what kind of program Atlantic College offers.
59. what the British education system is like.
60. how to get along better with other people.
61. What is the writer’s opinion of Atlantic College?
62. It doesn’t allow students enough study time.
63. Its students are taught to like each other.

66. How has Barbara changed since being at Atlantic College?
67. She knows a lot about other countries.
68. She is more confident than her sister now.
69. She finds it easier to get on with other people.

Probably the most important factor governing the sererity of forest fires is weather. Hot, dry weather lowers the moisture content of fuels.once a fire has started,wind is extremely critical because it influences the oxygen supply and the rate of spread. Forest type and forest conditions are also important factors. For example, fire is more likely to occur in conifers than in hardwoods; slash-covered or brushy areas are especially hazardous because the rate at which combustion consumes fuels is proportional to fuel volume and surface area.

Some fies are caused by lightning; others are caused by people. Those caused by people may be accidental or intertional ( incendiary). The causes of fire in the United States show large regional differences. In the Rocky Moutains more than 70 percent of the fires are caused by lightning, whereas incendiary fires amount to only about 1 percent. In contrast, more than 40 percent of the fires in the South are incendiary, whereas lightning causes only 1 percent.

Almost all the energy on the earth comes from the sun. Heat from the sun makes the earth warm enough for life. Plants use the sun’s energy to live and grow. Plants give off a

gas called oxygen. Animals eat plants and breathe oxygen. Animals need plants in order to live, and plants need the sun. You use plants to creat heat and energy. You can burn wood

from  trees.You  can  burn  fossil  called  coal,  gas,  and  oil.  Fossil  fuels  formed  deep underground from plants and animals that died millions of years ago.

One of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 BC. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction make it one of the truly great wonders of the world. The thirteen- acre structure near the Nile River is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber for the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the Pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true North, South, East and West- an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.

Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many interesting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events- past present and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers and this one is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial being of the ancient past. Was this superstructure made by ordinary being, or one built by a race far superior to any known today?

Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D.

Many years ago, people often said  “a woman’s place is in the home ”. But Americans do not feel that way any more. Today, women make up about 43 percent of the America labor force. There are about 45 million working women in the United States, and a large number of them are married women with children. In 1980, for the first time in the nation’s history there were more working wives than household wives. Looking back to 1940, we can see a picture of some very rapid change. In 1940, only 15 percent of married women held jobs.

Today,  most young women choose to work even when they have young children. Why do they work? The most important reason is that they need to earn money. But another reason is that women today are better educated and they have more opportunities to work in various professions than women had earlier.

As far back as 700B.C., man has talked about children being cared for by wolves. Romuhts and Remus, the legendary twin founders of-Rome, were purported to have been cared for by wolves. It is believed that when a she-wolf loses ‘her litter, she seeks a human child to take its place.

This seemingly preposterous idea did not become credible until the late tenth century when a French doctor actually found a naked ten year-old boy wandering in the woods.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun and hides at least some part of the Sun from the earth. In a partial eclipse, the Moon covers part of the Sun; in an annual eclipse, the Moon covers the center of the Sun, leaving a bright ring of light around the Moon; in a total eclipse, the Sun is completely covered by the Moon.

It seems rather improbable that a celestial body size of the Moon could completely block out the tremendously immense Sun, as happens during a total eclipse, but this is exactly what happens. Although the Moon is considerably smaller in size than the Sun, the Moon is able to cover the Sun because of their relative distances from Earth. A total eclipse can last up to 7 minutes, during which time the Moon’s shadow moves across Earth at a rate of about 6 kilometers per second.

37. describes how long an eclipse will last.

47. somewhere in the sky b. within the Moon’s shadow c. on the surface of the Sun d. inside Earth’s atmosphere
48. What is the meaning of block out in line 5?
49. Square b. Cover c. Evaporate d. Shrink
50. According to the passage, how can the Moon hide the Sun during a total eclipse?
51. The fact that the Moon is closer to Earth than the Sun makes up for the Moon’s smaller size.
52. The Moon can only obscure the Sun because of the Moon’s great distance from the Earth.
53. Because the Sun is relatively close to Earth, the Sun can be eclipsed by the Moon.
54. The moon hides the Sun because of the Moon’s considerable size.
55. The word relative in line 8 could best be replaced by ___.

VIII. Read the following passage then choose the best answer to the questions below.

Most people think of deserts as dry, flat areas with little vegetation and little or no rainfall, but this is hardly true. Many deserts have varied geographical formations ranging from soft, rolling hills to stark, jagged cliffs, and most deserts have a permanent source of water. Although deserts do not receive a high amount of rainfall – to be classified as a desert, an area must get less than twenty-five centimeters of rainfall per year – there are many plants that thrive on only small amounts of water, and deserts are often full of such plant life.

Desert plants have a variety of mechanisms for obtaining the water needed for survival. Some plants, such as cactus, are able to store large amounts of water to last until the next rainfall. Other plants, such as the mesquite, have extraordinarily deep root systems that allow them to obtain water from far below the desert’s arid surface.

The hippopotamus is the third largest land animal, smaller only than the elephant and the rhinoceros. Its name comes from two Greek words which mean “river horse”. The long name of this animal is often shortened to the easier to handle term “hippo.”

In spite of its name, the hippo has relatively little in common with the horse and instead has a number of interesting similarities in common with the whale. When a hippo comes up after a stay at the bottom of a lake or river, it releases air through a blowhole, just like a whale.
