Read the text below and decide which answer (A,B,C or D) best fits each space.
One of the greatest advances in modern technology has been the (46) of computers. They
are already (47) used in industry and in universities and the time may come when it will be
common for (48) people to use them as well. Computers are capable of doing extremely
complicated work in all (49) of learning. They can (50) the most complex mathematical
problems or put thousands of unrelated facts (51) order. Because they work accurately and
at high speeds they (52) research workers years of hard work.
(53) is a mistake to believe that the machines could “think”. There is no (54) that human
beings will be controlled by machines. Though computers are capable of learning from
their(55) and improving on their performance, they need detailed (56) from human beings
in order to be able to operate. They can never, as it were (57) independent lives, or rule the
world by making decisions of their (58) . Computers are the most efficient (59) man has
ever had and there is no limit to the way they can be used to (60) our lives.

Read the passage and the questions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer-
A, B, C or D- that you think fits best.
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 contribution 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
animal 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.
61/ What does the word "this" in line 7 refer to in the passage?
a the decrease in the Bengal tiger population b killing animals for personal
satisfaction
c Bengal tiger d interest in material gain
62/ Which of the following best describes the author
'
s attitude?
a Forgiving b Surprised c Concerned d Vindictive
63/ What does the term "international boycott" in line 17 refer to?
a a global increase in animal survival
b a refusal to buy animal products worldwide
c buying and selling of animal products overseas
d defraying the cost of maintaining national parks
64/ Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "alarming" in line 5?
a gripping b serious c dangerous d distressing
65/ The previous passage is divided into two paragraphs in order to contrast:
a Specific and general information b A comparison and a contrast
c A statement and an illustration d A problem and a solution
66/ What is the main topic of the passage?

a Endangered species b The Bengal tiger
c International boycotts d Problems with industrialization
67/ Where in the passage does the author discuss a cause of extinction?
a Line 1-4 b Line 6-9 c Line 21-23 d Line 15-17
Read the passage and the questions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer-
A, B, C or D- that you think fits best.
Nobody knows exactly when fiction began. Maybe the first story-teller was a prehistoric
mother trying to explain the world to her children. Or perhaps it was a hunter telling about
his adventures around the camp fire. Who can tell? What we do know, though, is that
story-telling was a purely oral activity until around 800 B.C. Myths and tales were passed
down by word of mouth and had to be memorized by each new generation of story-tellers.
This oral tradition only changed when ancient people started to keep written records of
