II. Read the passage and then choose the correct answers: (10 points)
Reading 1:
BRITISH POLITENESS
Do you, learners of English, ever wonder whether repeating and trying to remember various
everyday English expressions, such as “Excuse me, could you tell me where the nearest taxi rank is?”
has any value other than in exams? Well, I must admit that such things didn’t cross my mind until last
February when I got a letter from the British Council, saying that I had won a language course in

England.
The polite question mentioned was the one I had to ask on arrival in Parkston, a picturesque part
of Poole with lots of semi-detached houses on either side of each street. What struck me most was the
kindness of an old lady, who happened to leave Safeway’s just after my getting off the coach. Not
only did she show me where to phone for a taxi, but she also gave me a hand with the luggage. I was
really surprised, too, when the taxi driver got out of the car and helped me put the bags into the boot.
I immediately thought of Polish taxi drivers who usually do not make the slightest effort to help you,
apart from pressing the right button and waiting for the boot to open.
In spite of all the stereotypes about reluctance towards foreigners, the English turn out to be an
extreme polite and open nation.
1. According to the passage, where does the author come from?
A. England
B. Poland
C. Parkston
D. Poole
2. How did the old lady help the author?
A. showed her where to phone for a taxi
B. gave her a hand with the luggage
C. put her luggage in the boot
D. both A and B are correct
3. What does the author think of the English?
A. they are very polite and open
B. they are always reluctant towards foreigners
C. they are kind-hearted
D. they care a lot about others’ business
4. What did the author see when arriving in Parkston?
A. the picturesque part of Poole
B. the semi-detached houses
C. the British Council building
D. the coach

5. What is NOT true according to the passage?
A. the author won a language course in England
B. the author met a kind lady when she first arrived in Parkston
C. the author was surprised by the enthusiastic help of the British drivers
D. the author thinks that everyday English expressions have no practical values
Reading 2:
Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun. It is
well placed for observation for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the
planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter’s less than
10-hour rotation period gives it the shortest day in the solar system insofar as the principal planets are
concerned. There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular of
the orbital plane is only just over 3 0 - less than that for any other planet.
The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. It has shown variations in both
intensity and color, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years. At its
greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometers long an 14,000 kilometers wide, so its surface area is
greater than that of Earth. Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in longitude.
Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200 0. The latitude is
generally very close to -220. It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body
floating in Jupiter’s outer gas. However, the Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and
proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its longevity may well be due to its


exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent. Several
smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted.
1. According to the passage, Jupiter has the shortest day among the principal planets because
A. its rotation period is shorter than 10 hours
B. the axial inclination is only just over 30
C. it is on the average the brightest of all the planets
D. There is the interference of the Great Red Spot
2. The author’s tone in this passage is

A. argumentative
B. supportive
C. enthusiastic
D. neutral
3. According to the passage, Mars outshine Jupiter
A. on a regular basis
B. from time to time
C. every several months
D. less often than any other planet
4. This passage would be of most interest to
A. students of anthropology
B. geologists
C. mathematicians
D. amateur astronomers
5. It can be inferred from this passage that Jupiter’s Great Red Spot
A. will become brighter with time
B. will one day vanish
C. will continue expanding
D. is made of floating gases
SECTION FOUR: writing
I. Rewrite each of the sentences using the given world so that the new one has a similar
meaning as the preceded.(5 points)
1. You can use it as long as you like, and it will not wear out.
