Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions from
45 to 54.
Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He played for the New
York Yankees in their years of glory. From the time Mantle began to play professionally in
1951 to his last year in 1968, baseball was the most popular game in the United State. For
many people, Mantle symbolized the hope, prosperity, and confidence of America at that time.

Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both right-handed
and left-handed. He won game after game, one Would Series championship after another, for
his team. He was a wonderful athlete, but this alone cannot explain America’s fascination with
him.
Perhaps it was because he was a handsome, red-haired country boy, the son of a poor miner
from Oklahoma. His career, from the lead mines of the West to the heights of success and
fame, was a fairy-tale version of the American dream. Or perhaps it was because America
always loves a “natural”:a person who wins without seeming to try, whose talent appears to
come from an inner grace. That was Mickey mantle.
But like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of problems. He
played without complain despite constant pain from injuries. He lived to fulfill his father’s
dreams and drank to forget his father’s early death.
It was a terrible addiction that finally destroyed his body. It gave him cirrhosis of the liver
and accelerated the advance of liver cancer. Even when Mickey Mantle had returned away
from his old life and warned young people not to follow his example, the destructive process
could not be stopped recovery, Mickey Mantle died of cancer at the age of 63.
45/What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Mickey Mantle as the greatest baseball players of all time
B. Mickey Mantle’s success and private life full of problems
C. Mickey Mantle and his career as a baseball players
D. Mickey Mantle and the history of baseball

A. played for New York Yankees all his life. B. had to try hard to be a professional player.
C. earned a lot of money from baseball.
D. introduced baseball into the US.
47/ According to the passage, Mantle could ______.
A. hit with the bat on either side of his body
B. bat better with his left hand with his right hand
C. hit the ball to score from a long distance
D. give the most powerful hit in his team

48/The word “this” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. Mantle’s being a fast and powerful player

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions from
55 to 64.
The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts: its bare
mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. Many
of the most beautiful areas are national parks and are protected from development. When
British people think of the countryside they think of farmland, as well as open spaces. They
imagine cows or sheep in green fields enclosed by hedges of stone walls, and fields of wheat
and barley. Most farmland is privately owned but is crossed by a network of public footpaths.
Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation. They spend their free
time walking or cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch. In the summer
people go to fruit farms and pick strawberries and other fruit. Only a few people who live in
the country work on farm. Many commute to work in towns. Many others dream of living in
the country, where they believe they would have a better and healthier lifestyle.
The countryside faces and many threats. Some are associated with modern farming
practices, and the use of the chemicals harmful to plants and wildlife. Land is also needed for
new houses. The green belt, an area of land around many cities, is under increasing pressure.
Plans to build new roads are strongly opposed by organizations trying to protect the
countryside. Protesters set up camps to prevent, or at least delay, the building work.
America has many areas of wild and beautiful scenery, and there are many areas, especially
in the West in states like Montana and Wyoming, where few people live. In the New England
states, such as Vermont and New Hampshire, it is common to see small farms surrounded by
5

hills and green areas. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other Midwestern states, fields of corn or
wheat reach to the horizon and there are many miles between towns.
Only about 20% of Americans live outside cities and towns. Life may be difficult for
people who live in the country. Services like hospitals and schools may be further away and
going shopping can mean driving long distances. Some people even have to drive from their
homes to the main road where their mail is left in box. In spite of the disadvantages, many
people who live in the country say that they like the safe, clean, attractive environment. But
their children often move to a town or city as soon as they can.
As in Britain, Americans like to go out to the country at weekends. Some people go on
camping or fishing trips, others go hiking in national parks.
55/ We can see from the passage that in the countryside of Britain _____
A. it is difficult to travel from one farm to another
B. only a few farms are publicly owned
C. none of the areas faces the sea
D. most beautiful areas are not well preserved
56/ The word “enclosed” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______
A. blocked
B. embraced
C. surrounded
D. rotated
57/ Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an activity of relaxation in the countryside of
Britain?
A. Going swimming
B. Going for a walk
C. Riding a bike
D. Picking fruit
58/ What does the word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Those who go to the country for a picnic B. Those who dream of living in the country

C. Those who commute to work in towns
D. Those who go to fruit farms in summer
59/ Which of the following threatens the countryside in Britain?
A. Protests against the building work
B. Plants and wildlife
C. Modern farming practices
D. The green belt around cities
60/ The phrase “associated with” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______
A. separated from
B. supported by
C. related to
D. referred to
61/ According to the passage, all of the following are true EXCEPT _____
A. all organizations strongly oppose plans for road construction
B. the use of chemicals harms the environment of the countryside
C. camps are set up by protesters to stop the construction work
D. the green belt is under pressure because of the need for land
62/ The phrase “reach to the horizon” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______
A. are varied
B. are endless
C. are horizontal
D. are limited
63/ According to the passage, some Americans choose to live in the country because _____
A. life there may be easier for them
B. hospitals, schools and shops are convenient located there
C. they enjoy the safe, clean, attractive environment there
D. their children enjoy country life
64/ Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage
A. Both British and American people are thinking of moving to the countryside.
B. Towns in some Midwestern states in the US are separated by long distances.

C. Many British people think of the country as a place of peace and relaxation.
