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
Who talk more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However,
linguist Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says
that this is a stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private
situations, where they use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together. But, she
says, men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information
and gain status. Tannen points out that we can see these differences even in children. Little
girls often play with one “best friend”, their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys
often play games in groups; their play usually involves more doing than talking. In school,
girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference.
Researchers studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found
evidence that parents talk very differently to their son than they do to their daughters. The
startling conclusion was that parents use more language with their girls. Specifically, when
parents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details. There is
also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness, with daughters than with sons.
Question 35. Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Little girls and little boys have different ways of playing.
B. Women talk more than men.
C. It’s stereotype that women talk more than men.
D. Women talk more in private , and men talk more in public.
Question 36. Which word is similar in meaning to “glue” in line 4 ?
A. means
B. sticky substance C. game
D. rope

Question 37. Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Researchers have studied the conversations of children and their parents.
B. Parents do not talk much about sadness with their sons.
C. Study at Emory University can help to explain the differences between
communication styles of boys and girls.
D. An Emory University found that parents talk more with their daughters than with their
sons.
Question 38 . Which of the following phrases best explains the meaning of the word
“verbal”?
A. connected with the use of spoken language
B. being very talkative
C. deriving from verbs
D. using very loud noise
Question 39. The word they in line 4 refers to ___________.
A. situations
B. women
C. men and women D. men
Question 40. Which can be used as a synonym of the word “feelings” ?
A. anger

C. thinking
D. worries
Question 41. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the first paragraph ?
A. Men and women have different styles of talking, which may begin in childhood.
B. Men are more sociable than women.
C. According to Tannen, the belief that women talk more is partly right but most wrong
and oversimplified.

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
The Planets of Jupiter
The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times greater than Earth’s,
contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined. It is thought to be a
gaseous and fluid planet without solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter
might have attained internal temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear reactions,
and it would have flamed as a star in its own right. Jupiter and the other giant planets are of a
low-density type quite distinct from the terrestrial planets: they are composed predominantly
of such substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike terrestrial planets.

Much of Jupiter’s interior might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally,
hydrogen is a gas, but under pressures of millions of kilograms per square centimeter, which
exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquid
with the properties of a metal. Some scientists believe that the innermost core of Jupiter might
be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth.
Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours. As a result, its clouds, which are composed
largely of frozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright
bands that circle the planet at different speeds in different latitudes. Jupiter’s puzzling Great
Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the Southern Hemisphere. Scientists speculate it might be
a gigantic hurricane, which because of its large size (the Earth could easily fit inside it), lasts
for hundreds of years.
Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. Perhaps this is primeval
heat or beat generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet. Another star
like characteristic of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of the
Solar System, decrease in density with distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy
moons farther away. If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive, it would have become a star,
Jupiter is the best-preserved sample of the early solar nebula, and with its satellites, might
contain the most important clues about the origin of the Solar System.
Question 45: The word attained in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. attempted
B. changed
C. lost
D. reached
Question 46: The word they in paragraph 1 refers to _____.
A. nuclear reactions
B. giant planets
C. terrestrial
D. substances
Question 47: According to the passage, hydrogen can become a metallic-like liquid when it is
__________.

A. ammonia
B. helium
C. hydrogen
D. methane
Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that the appearance of alternating bands
circling Jupiter is caused by _____.
A. the Great Red Spot
B. heat from the Sun
C. the planet’s fast rotation
D. Storms from the planet’s Southern Hemisphere

Spot is _____.
A. the only spot of its kind
B. not well understood

C. among the largest of such spots
D. a problem for the planet’s continued existence

A. Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as the Sun.
B. Jupiter has a weaker gravitational force than the other planets.
C. Scientists believe that Jupiter was once a star.
D. Scientists might learn about the beginning of the Solar System by Studying Jupiter.
Question 53: Why does the author mention primeval heat in paragraph 3?
A. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the Sun
B. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the other planets
C. To suggest a possible explanation for the number of satellites that Jupiter has
D. To suggest a possible source of the quantity of heat that Jupiter gives off
Question 54: Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
A. If Jupiter had fewer satellites, it would be easier for scientists to study the planet itself.
B. If Jupiter had had more mass, it would have developed internal nuclear reactions.
C. If Jupiter had been smaller, it would have become a terrestrial planet.
D. if Jupiter were larger, it would give off much less heat.
Read the passage and choose one word or phrase marked A, B, C or D that best fits each of
the gaps:
When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently come across words you
do not (55)______ understand. Sometimes you (56)______ the meaning in a dictionary and

Part II:
Model
Conservation concerns men’s safeguarding and preservation of natural resources and his
responsibility for improving the environmental conditions in which he lives. An important task
of conservation is the prevention of waste – waste of forests, soil, minerals, wildlife and human
life. Trees help to preserve land because their roots bind the soil and retain water. Without
trees, heavy rains will cause soil erosion. Forest conservation also means the prevention of
bush fires and the attention to planting and looking after new, young trees. Not only should
man preserve forests but he should also realize the importance of wildlife protection. Unless
governments have a good system of control or pass laws restricting the hunting, eradicating of
rare animals and plants, they slowly disappear. Natural resources such as coal, gas and mineral
ores are limited but the need for them is growing day by day. Therefore, man should use them
widely on the one hand, and look for alternative fuels on the other hand.
