May 7
th
1840 was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth century:
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the son of a mining inspector. Tchaikovsky studied music as a child and later studied
composition at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. His greatest period of productivity occurred between 1876 and
1890, during which time he enjoyed patronage of Madame von Meck, a woman he never met, who gave him a
yearly living stipend. Madame von Meck later terminated her friendship with Tchaikovsky, as well as his living
allowance, when she, herself, was facing financial difficulties. It was during the time of Madame von Meck’s
patronage, however, that Tchaikovsky created the music for which he is most famous, including the music for
the ballets of “Swan Lake” and “The Sleeping Beauty”. Tchaikovsky’s music, well-known for its rich melodic and
sometimes melancholy passages, was one of the first that brought serious dramatic music to dance. Before this,
little attention had been given to the music behind the dance. Tchaikovsky died ostensibly of cholera on
November 6
th
1893, though there are now some scholars who argue that he committed suicide.
66. The best title for this passage could be ______.
A. “The Life and Music of Tchaikovsky”
B. “Development of Tchaikovsky’s Music for Ballets”
C. “Tchaikovsky’s Relationship with Madame von Meck”
D. “The Cause of Tchaikovsky’s Death”
67. According to the passage, all of the following describe Madame von Meck EXCEPT ______.
A. she had economic troubles B. she was generous
C. she was never introduced to Tchaikovsky D. she enjoyed Tchaikovsky’s music
68. According to the passage, Tchaikovsky’s music is most well-known for ______.
A. its repetitive and monotonous tones B. the ballet-like quality of music
C. the richness and melodic drama of the music D. its lively, capricious melodies
69. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Tchaikovsky’s influence on ballet music.
B. Tchaikovsky’s unhappiness leading to suicide.
C. The patronage of Madame von Meck.
D. Tchaikovsky’s productivity in composing.
70. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. it was not the music behind the dance that made Tchaikovsky famous
B. there is suspicion on the cause of Tchaikovsky’s death
C. Madame von Meck was one of the most famous Russian composers

Read the passage about Education in the future . Then decide whether the following statements
are true (T) or false (F) according to the information in the passage.
EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE
Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the way
we communicate. Today’s college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a library to learn about
their field. Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality they can participate in lifelike
simulated experiences. Consider the following scenario of the future of education made possible
through developments in information technology.
For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory.
Some of the older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or
instruction from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from home.
Students must complete a minimum number of study hours per year; however, they may make up these
hours by studying at home at times that suit their family schedule. They can log on early or late in the
day and even join live classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each student is learning
adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week each student
studies on-line as well as that students’ learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be
available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify the best learning activities and
conditions for each individual student and generate similar activities. It can also identify areas of weak
achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the student’s needs.
1.________If students are under 10, they won’t have to go to school on a daily basis.
2.________Sometimes students go to school to pay their tuition fees.
3.________There are some requirements about the learning hours that students must complete in a
year.

5.________Students can be provided with learning programs that best suit them.
