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 45. to 54.
Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments.
Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs.
But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of
industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was
willing
to
work
could
find
a

job.
Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the
programs Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deductions from the
paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly
income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those
who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65,
when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund
may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly
Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up
the
anticipated
deficit,
but
a
long-term
solution
is
still
being
debated.
In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs. These
include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public
housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes.
Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of
private charities and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States,
especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do
volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity.
Question 45: New immigrants to the U.S. could seek help from ______.
A. the people who came earlier
B. the US government agencies

C.
only
charity
organizations
D.
volunteer
organizations
Question 46: It took welfare programs a long time to gain a foothold in the U.S. due to the fast growth
of______.


A.
industrialization
B.
modernization
C.
urbanization
D.
population
Question 47: The word “instituted” in the first paragraph mostly means ______.
A.
“executed”
B.
“studied”
C.
“introduced”
D.
“enforced”
Question 48: The Social Security program has become possible thanks to ______.
A. deductions from wages

B. people’s willingness to work
C.
donations
from
companies
D.
enforcement
laws
Question 49: Most of the public assistance programs ______ after the severe economic crisis.
A. were introduced into institutions
B. did not become institutionalized
C. functioned fruitfully in institutions
D. did not work in institutions
Question 50: That Social Security payments will be a burden comes from the concern that ______.
A. elderly people ask for more money
B. the program discourages working people
C. the number of elderly people is growing
D. younger people do not want to work.

A.
low

non-government

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 55 to 64
Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use
one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are
more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some
doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile
phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried

about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for
your
health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile
phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning
equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss.
He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used
to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of
years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines
can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there
is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use
your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need
it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile
phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use
your
mobile
phone
too
often.
Question 55: According to the passage, cellphones are especially popular with young people because
______.
A. they are indispensable in everyday communications B. they make them look more stylish
C. they keep the users alert all the time
D. they cannot be replaced by regular phones
Question 56: The changes possibly caused by the cellphones are mainly concerned with ______.
A. the mobility of the mind and the body
B. the smallest units of the brain

C. the arteries
of the brain
D. the resident memory

A. “meanings”
B. “expression”
C. “method”
D. “transmission”
Question 58: The word "potentially" in the passage most closely means ______.
A. “obviously”
B. “possibly”
C. “certainly”
D. “privately”
Question 59: "Negative publicity" in the passage most likely means ______.
A. information on the lethal effects of cellphones
B.
widespread
opinion
