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 16 to 22.
Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over

conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods- a
term whose meaning varies greatly frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious
than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and more 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 food supply is unsafe or inadequate in 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 form the basis for folklore.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for "no-aging" diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods.
There 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 food 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 organic foods can
maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause
for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food and buy only
expensive organic foods instead.
16. The world "Advocates" is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. Inspectors

B. Merchants

C. Supporters

D. Consumers

C. products

D. organic foods

17. The word "others" refers to_______.
A. advantages

B. advocates


18. The "welcome development" is an increase in______.
A. interest in food safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet
B. the amount of healthy food grown in North America
C. the number of consumers in North America
D. the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet
19. According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term "organic foods"?
A. It is accepted by most nutritionists.
B. It is seldom used by consumers.
C. It has no fixed meaning.
D. It has been used only in recent years.
20. The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods
instead of conventionally grown foods because_______.
A. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods
B. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods
C. too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops
D. conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods
21. According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than conventionally
grown foods are often_______.
A. careless

B. thrifty

C. mistaken

D. wealthy

22. What is the author's attitude toward the claims made by advocates of health foods?
A. Doubtful

B. Very enthusiastic

C. Somewhat favorable

D. Neutral

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

The tradition of gift giving is a worldwide (26)________ that is said to have been around since the beginning


of human beings. Over time, different cultures have developed their own gift giving customs and traditions.
In France, the gift of wine for the hostess of a dinner party is not an appropriate gift as the hostess would
prefer to choose the vintage for the night. In Sweden, a bottle of wine or flowers are an appropriate gift for
the hostess. In Viet Nam, a gift of whisky is appropriate for the host, and some fruit or small gifts for the
hostess, children or elders of the home. Besides, gifts should never be wrapped in black paper because this
color is unlucky and associated with funerals in this country. Gifts (27)_________ symbolize cutting such as
scissors, knives and other sharp objects should be avoided because they mean the cutting of the relationship.
Also, in some countries you should not open the gift in front of the giver and in (28)_______ it would be an
insult if you did not open the gift.
Beyond the gift itself, give careful consideration to the manner in which it is presented. Different cultures
have different customs regarding how a gift should be offered - using only your right hand or using both
hands, (29)________. Others have strong traditions related to the appropriate way to accept a gift. In
Singapore, for instance, it is the standard to graciously refuse a gift several times before finally accepting it.
The recipient would never unwrap a gift in front of the giver for fear of appearing greedy.
Understanding these traditions and customs, as well as taking time to choose an appropriate gift, will help

you to avoid any awkwardness or (30)______ as you seek to build a better cross-cultural relationship.

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 37 to 41.
Cambridge University is considering axing compulsory written exams, allowing students to use laptops or
iPads instead, after tutors complained that students' handwriting is becoming illegible. Academics say the
move, which would bring an end to over 800 years of tradition, has come about because students rely too
heavily on laptops in lectures, and are losing the ability to write by hand.
Dr Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer at Cambridge University, said handwriting is becoming a "lost art" among
the current generation of students. She added, "It's increasingly hard for our examiners to read students'
scripts. Those with illegible writing are forced to come back to their college during the summer holidays to
read their answers aloud in the presence of two university administrators. It's extraordinarily commendable
that the University is considering reforms to its examination practices."
Sir Anthony Seldon, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham, said it is inevitable that universities
will move to computers as handwriting deteriorates in the coming years. "We have to accept the reality.
Handwriting has now become an optional, not a necessary, part of education. There simply isn't the same
time in the curriculum for learning elegant, beautiful handwriting. Life is so quick now. Everybody writes as
if they were a doctor writing a prescription," he said. "Handwriting is not necessary for great thought, great


English, or great intelligence. Some of our finest wordsmiths today write using laptops, and we have to fight
to preserve what is really important, such as the use of great English or great sentence structures. "
Others, however, were not very positive about the move. Tracey Trussell, a handwriting expert, urged
Cambridge to ensure that students continue to write by hand. She said, "It's vital that people continue to write

by hand. Writing by hand improves memory and equates to a higher rate of comprehension and information
retention. "There is also concern that schools could follow Cambridge's example by moving away from
handwriting. Dr Jane Medwell, Associate Professor of Education at the University of Nottingham, is
concerned that scrapping handwritten exams in universities could prompt "downward curriculum pressure"
on primary and secondary schools to follow suit.

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.
In the past, technology and progress was very slow. People "invented" farming 12,000 years ago but it took
8,000 years for the idea to go around the world. Then, about 3,500 years ago, people called "potters" used
round wheels to turn and make plates. But it took hundreds of years before some clever person thought, if we
join two wheels together and make them bigger, we can use them to move things.
In the last few centuries, things have begun to move faster. Take a 20th-century invention like the aeroplane,
for example. The first aeroplane flight on 17 December 1903 only lasted 12 seconds, and the plane only went
37 metres. It can't have been very exciting to watch, but that flight changed the world. Sixteen years later, the
first plane flew across the Atlantic, and only fifty years after that, men walked on the moon. Technology is
now changing our world faster and faster. So what will the future bring? One of the first changes will be the
matter we use. Scientists have just invented an amazing new material called graphene, and soon we will use
it to do lots of things. With graphene batteries in your mobile, it will take a few seconds to charge your phone
or download a thousand gigabytes of information! Today, we make most products in factories, but in the
future, scientists will invent living materials. Then we won't make things like cars and furniture in factories we will grow them! Thirty years ago, people couldn't have imagined social media like Twitter and Facebook.
Now we can't live without them.
But this is only the start. Right now, scientists are putting microchips in some disabled people's brains, to
help them see, hear and communicate better. In the future, we may all use these technologies. We won't need

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your ans wer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.

Throughout history, various people have demonstrated a high degree of confidence in the ability of certain
animals to predict the weather. It may seem surprising today in view of the complex equipment now involved
in weather forecasting to understand that in certain cases, the behavior of animals does indeed provide an
indication of inclement weather. Sensitivity of certain animals to falling air pressure or to low-frequency
sound waves that humans cannot hear, which are indicators of approaching storms, causes behaviors in
animals that certain societies have come to recognize as predictors of storms.
A number of animals are remarkably sensitive to variations in air pressure, and some of these animals show
consistent, noticeable, and predictable behaviors as air pressure drops before a storm hits. When the air
pressure drops before a storm, some animals move closer to the ground to equalize the pressure in their ears:
some birds such as swallows tend to stay on the ground or roost in trees instead of soaring in the skies when
a storm is imminent because of the decreasing air pressure. Other animals make more noise than usual as air
pressure drops: an unusual amount of quacking by ducks and a high volume of croaking by frogs are both
indicators that are believed to occur because of the high degree of sensitivity of ducks and frogs to the
change in pressure. Finally, still other animals become more active before storms as a reaction to the falling
air pressure: dolphins and porpoises seem to be taking part in a frenzied sort of play, and bees and ants
become more active prior most likely because of their sensitivity to lower pressure.
There is good reason to believe that the fact that these animal behaviors seem to occur regularly prior to


storms may have a scientific basis and that the animals demonstrating these behaviors may actually be good
short- range weather forecasters. However, their ability to predict long-range weather patterns is rather
suspect. Certain proverbs, for example, are based on what is most likely the idea that squirrels are good
indica weather patterns. One proverb indicates that, if a squirrel seems busier than usual in gathering nuts,
then a long and cold winter is on its way; however, this behavior in squirrels is more likely due to a large
supply of nuts available for gathering, which occurs because of earlier good weather, and is not an indicator
of cold weather to come. Another proverb about squirrels indicates that if a squirrel grows a long and bushy
tail in the fall, then a particularly harsh winter is on its way; in this case too, the squirrel develops a long and
bushy tail because of earlier good weather and not as a warning of bad weather to come.

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.
During the past half-century, our species has embarked on a remarkable social experiment. For the first time


in human history, great numbers of people - at all ages, in all places, of every political persuasion - have
begun settling down as singletons. Until the second half of the last century, most of us married young and
parted only at death. If death came early, we remarried quickly; if late, we moved in with family, or they with
us. Now we marry later. We divorce, and stay single for years or decades.
The rise of living alone has produced significant social benefits, too. Young and middle-aged solos have
helped to revitalise cities, because they are more likely to spend money, socialise and participate in public
life. Contemporary solo dwellers in the US are primarily women: about 18 million, compared with 14 million
men. The majority, more than 16 million, are middle-aged adults between the ages of 35 and 64. The elderly
account for about 11 million of the total. Young adults between 18 and 34 number increased more than 5
million, compared with 500,000 in 1950, making them the fastest-growing segment of the solo-dwelling
population.
Despite fears that living alone may be environmentally unsustainable, solos tend to live in apartments rather
than in big houses, and in relatively green cities rather than in car-dependent suburbs. There's good reason to

believe that people who live alone in cities consume less energy than if they coupled up and decamped to
pursue a single-family home.
26. The best title for this passage could be _______.
A. the rise in divorce rates

B. figures about solo dwellers in the US

C. the increase in solo living

D. solos' tendency towards living in apartments

27. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The rise of living alone has brought about significant social advantages.
B. People have begun settling down as singletons since the second half of the last century.
C. Solos tend to live big houses in car-dependent suburbs.
D. People now marry at young age and when they divorce, they remarry quickly.
28. The word "them" in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. young adults

B. the elderly

C. middle-aged adults

D. solo dwellers

29. In paragraph 2, all the following are the suggestions of the writer EXCEPT _________.
A. There are fewer middle-aged solos than the elderly who live alone.
B. The number of the young adult choosing to live alone has increased the most rapidly.
C. Solo dwellers have helped to renew their cities.
D. In the US, more females choose to live alone than males.

30. The word "decamped" in paragraph 3 means _______.
A. quitted

B. settled down

C. lived separately

D. lived together

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.
It's important to be able to articulate your dream job. Not just for personal reasons, but also for when you're
asked about it in interviews. But, how can you even begin to describe your ideal job, especially to someone
who's clearly going to be judging your response? Just picking a place to start is a head-scratcher.
First, let's talk about what you're good at doing, or your strengths. It's likely you've already had the chance to
talk about this topic a bit during the interview, so it makes for a nice transition. Highlight the skills that you
enjoy using most, not just the ones you're a superstar at. This is about your dream job, so don't shy away
from mentioning any that you want to grow as well.
Next, it's time to talk about what interests you. Think big picture for this. What drew you to your industry?
What's something you did as a kid that's actually found its way into your work? What is it about your career
that keeps you engaged? Weave that in.
Giving a sense of what your career values are will give the interviewer an idea about what motivates you; it's
a good way to bring the focus back to the company you're interviewing for. It also adds some extra
complexity to your answer. You're not just saying, "I want an interesting job that I'm good at." I mean, that's
nice, but this is your dream job we're talking about!
Don't pigeonhole yourself with anything that official. Instead, give the hiring manager a
more nuanced response by covering your skills, interests, and values. He or she will get the chance to learn
more about you-and you have more flexibility to line up your career goals and the position you're applying
for. That's a win-win.
36. Which best serves as the title for the passage?


A. The secret formula for a job interview.

B. What makes for the dream job?

C. Is “dream job" really possible?

D. Think proactively about your career.

37. The word "nuanced" in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. discouraging

B. automatic

C. distinctive

D. insignificant

38. The word "head-scratcher" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. difficulty

B. misery

C. simplicity

D. flexibility

C. interviews

D. transitions

C. Caustic

D. Speculative

39. The word "ones" in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. skills

B. strengths

40. What is the tone of the passage?
A. Motivating

B. Biased

41. According to the passage, what should interviewees NOT include in their answers?
A. Their values

B. Their interests

C. Their engagement

D. their skills

42. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. Something relating to your childhood as well as your priorities in career shouldn't be mentioned to your
interviewer.
B. Being able to express your thoughts about your dream job wisely can help you a lot in a job interview.
C. Taking advantage of your shyness in any job interview can definitely help impress your interviewer.
D. Concentrating on your most outstanding ability to work for the company is a must in a job interview.
