Reading 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.


It takes a long time to raise a family of owlets, so the great horned owl begins early in the year. In
January and February, or as late as March in the North, the male calls to the female with a resonant
hoot. The female is larger than the male. She sometimes reaches a 5 body length of twenty-two to
twenty-four inches, with a wingspread up to fifty inches. To impress her, the male does a strange
courtship dance. He bobs. He bows. He ruffles his feathers and hops around with an important air. He
flutters from limb to limb and makes flying sorties into the air. Sometimes he returns with an offering
of food. 10 They share the repast, after which she joins the dance, hopping and bobbing about as

though keeping time to the beat of an inner drum.
Owls are poor home builders. They prefer to nest in a large hollow in a tree or even to occupy the
deserted nest of a hawk or crow. 15 These structures are large and rough, built of sticks and bark and
lined with leaves and feathers. Sometimes owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground. even
to occupy the deserted nest of a hawk or crow. These structures are large and rough, built of sticks and
bark and lined with leaves and feathers. Sometimes owls nest 20 on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare
ground. The mother lays two or three round, dull white eggs. Then she stoically settles herself on the
nest and spreads her feather skirts about her to protect her precious charges from snow and cold.
It is five weeks before the first downy white owlet pecks its way out of the shell. As the young
birds feather out, they look like wise old men with their wide eyes and quizzical expressions. They
clamor for food and keep the parents busy supplying mice, squirrels, rabbits, crayfish, and beetles.
Later in the season baby crows are 30 taken. Migrating songsters, waterfowl, and game birds all fall
prey to the hungry family. It is nearly ten weeks before fledglings leave the nest to search for their own
food. The parent birds weary of family life by November and drive the young owls away to establish
hunting ranges of their own.

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer.
The influenza virus is a single molecule composed of millions of individual atoms. Although bacteria
can be considered a type of plant, secreting poisonous substances into the body of the organism they
attack, viruses, like the influenza virus, are living organisms themselves. We may consider them regular
chemical molecules since they have strictly defined atomic structure; but on the other hand, we must
consider them as being alive since they are able to multiply in unlimited quantities.
An attack brought on by the presence of the influenza virus in the body produces a temporary
immunity, but, unfortunately, the protection is against only the type of virus that caused the influenza.
Because the disease can be produced by any one of three types, referred to as A, B, or C, and many
strains within each type, immunity to one virus will not prevent infection by another type or strain.
Approximately every ten years, worldwide epidemics of influenza called pandemics occur. Thought
to be caused by new strains of type-A virus, these pandemic viruses have spread rapidly, inflecting
millions of people. Epidemics or regional outbreaks have appeared on the average every two or three
years or type-A virus, and every four or five years for type-B virus.
Question 55: With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?
A. the influenza virus
B. immunity to disease
C. bacteria
D.chemical molecules
Question 56: According to this passage, bacteria are
A. poisons
B. very small
C. larger than viruses
D. plants
Question 57: The word “themselves” refers to

A. molecules
B. bacteria
C. substances
D. viruses
Question 58: The word “strictly” could best be replaced by
A. unusually
B. completely
C. broadly
D. exactly
Question 59: Why does the writer say that viruses are alive?
A. they have a complex atomic struture
C. they multiply
B. they move
D. they need warmth and light
Question 60: The atomic structure of viruses
A. is variable
C. cannot e analyzed chemically
B. is strictly defined
D. is more complex than that of bacteria.
Question 61: The word “unlimited” could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. very small
B. very large
C. very similar
D. very different
Question 62: How does the body react to the influenza virus?
A. It prevents further infection to other types and strains of the virus.
B. It produces immunity to the type and strain of virus that invaded it.
C. It becomes immune to types A, B, and C viruses, but not to various strains within the types.
D. After a temporary immunity, it becomes even more susceptible to the type and strain that caused
the influenza.

Question 63: The author names all of the following as characteristics of pandemics except
A. they spread very quickly.
C. they are regional outbreaks.
B. they are caused by type-A virus.
D. they occur once every ten years.
Question 64: The word “strains” is closest in meaning to
A. theories
B. injuries
C. varieties
D. weakness

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.
25. The word attained in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. attempted
B. changed
C. lost
D. reached
26. The word they in paragraph 1 refers to _____.
A. nuclear reactions B. giant planets
C. terrestrial
D. substances
27. According to the passage, hydrogen can become a metallic-like liquid when it is _____.
A. extremely hot
B. combined with helium C. similar atmospheres
D. metallic cores
28. According to the passage, some scientists believe Jupiter and Earth are similar in that
they both have _____.

A. solid surfaces
B. similar masses
C. similar atmospheres D. metallic cores
29. The clouds surrounding Jupiter are mostly composed of _____.
A. ammonia
B. helium
C. hydrogen
D. methane
30. 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
31. The author uses the word puzzling in paragraph 2 to suggest that the Great Red 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
32. Paragraph 3 supports which of the following conclusions?
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.
33. 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

34. 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 following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet
indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either
become extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which
once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025,
it is estimated that they will become extinct.
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have
been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always
interested in material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the
callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals such as the Bengal
tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem.
International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and
the survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways.
Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of
land to animals reserves. They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of
maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support.
This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another
response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made
from endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals
from being hunted and killed.

B. A problem and a solution
C. A statement and an illustration
D. Specific and general information
59. What does the word “this” refer to in the passage?

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” ?

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.

B. annoying

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 _____.

Question 47: According to the passage, hydrogen can become a metallic-like liquid when it
is __________.

A. extremely hot
B. combined with helium
C. similar atmospheres
D. metallic cores
Question 48: According to the passage, some scientists believe Jupiter and Earth are similar
in that they both have _____.
A. solid surfaces
B. similar masses
C. similar atmospheres D. metallic cores
Question 49: The clouds surrounding Jupiter are mostly composed of _____.
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
Question 51: The author uses the word puzzling in paragraph 2 to suggest that the Great
Red 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
Question 52: Paragraph 3 supports which of the following conclusions?
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

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.
