C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child
learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the
time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He
notices a thousand times a day the difference between
the language he uses and the language those around
him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to
make his language like other people’s. In the same way,
children learn all the other things they learn to do without
being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle –
compare their own performances with those of more
skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes.
But in school we never give a child a chance to find out
his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it

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 concept of obtaining fresh water from iceberg that is towed to populated areas and
arid regions of the world was once treated as a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real life.
But now it is being considered quite seriously by many nations, especially since scientists have
warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out of food.
Glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that has been overlooked until recently. (A)
Three-quarters of the Earth's fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice, a reservoir
of untapped fresh water so immense that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for 1,000
years. Floating on the oceans every year are 7,659 trillion metric tons of ice encased in 10,000
icebergs that break away from the polar ice caps, more than ninety percent of them from
Antarctica. (B)

Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs
throughout the year. Icebergs are not like sea ice, which is formed when the sea itself freezes;
rather, they are formed entirely on land, breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea. As they
drift away from the polar region, icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a direction opposite to
the wind, pulled by subsurface currents. Because they melt more slowly than smaller pieces of
ice, icebergs have been known to drift as far north as 35 degrees south of the equator in the
Atlantic Ocean. (C)

The difficulty arises in other technical matters, such as the prevention of rapid melting
in warmer climates and the funneling of fresh water to shore in great volume. But even if

the icebergs lost half of their volume in towing, the water they could provide would be far
cheaper than that produced by desalination, or removing salt from water. (D)
Question 43: What is the main topic of the passage?

A. The movement of glaciers
B. Icebergs as a source of fresh water
C. Future water shortages
D. The future of the world's rivers
Question 44: The word “arid” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
.
A. anhydrous
B. fruitful
C. remote
D. distant
Question 45: The word "it" in the first paragraph refers to
.
A. an iceberg that is towed
B. obtaining fresh water from icebergs
C. the population of arid areas
D. real life
Question 46: According to the author, most of the world's fresh water is to be found in
.
A. oceans
B. rivers
C. glaciers
D. reservoirs
Question 47: The word “currents” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to
.
A. pulls
B. waves

C. weather
D. flows of water
Question 48: How are icebergs formed?

A. They break off from glaciers
B. Seawater freezes
C. Rivers freeze
D. Small pieces of floating ice converge
Question 49: With which of the following ideas would the author be likely to agree?
A. Towing icebergs to dry areas is economically possible
B. Desalination of water is the best way to obtain drinking water

C. Using water from icebergs is a very short-term solution to water shortages
D. Icebergs could not be towed very far before they would melt
Question 50: Which is the best place where the following sentence will most properly fit?
"To corral them and steer them to parts of the world where they are needed would not
be too difficult."
A. (A)
B. (B)
C. (C)
D. (D)
Question 51: The word "that" in the last paragraph refers to
.

A. the volume
B. the water
C. the iceberg
D. the towing
Question 52: What are the technical matters mentioned as the difficulty arising in the process of
obtaining fresh water from the iceberg?

A. The prevention of rapid melting iceberg
B. The filtering water and the funneling it to shore in a large amount

correct answer to each of the following questions.
American humor and American popular heroes were born together. The first popular heroes of the
new nation were comic heroes, and the first popular humor of the new nation was the antics of its heroclowns.
The heroic and the comic were combined in novel American proportions in popular literature. The
heroic themes are obvious enough and not much different from those in the legends of other times
and places: Achilles, Beowulf, Siegfried, Roland, and King Arthur. The American Davy Crockett legends
repeat the familiar pattern of the old world heroic story: the pre-eminence of a mighty hero whose fame in
myth has a tenuous basis in fact; the remarkable birth and precocious strength of the hero; single combats
in which he distinguished himself against antagonists, both man and beast; vows and boasts; pride of the
hero in his weapons, his dog, and his woman.
Davy Crockett conquered man and beast with a swaggering nonchalance. He overcame animals by
force of body and will. He killed four wolves at the age of six. He hugged a bear to death; he killed a
rattlesnake with his teeth. He mastered the forces of nature. Crockett’s most famous natural exploit was
saving the earth on the coldest day in history. First, he climbed a mountain to determine the trouble. Then
he rescued all creation by squeezing bear-grease on the earth’s frozen axis and over the sun’s icy face. He
whistled, “Push along, keep moving!” The earth gave a grunt and began moving.
Neither the fearlessness nor the bold huntsman’s prowess was peculiarly American. Far more
distinctive was the comic quality, all heroes are heroic; few are also clowns. What made the American
popular hero heroic also made him comic. “May be”, said Crockett, “you’ll laugh at me and not at my
book”. The ambiguity of American life and the vagueness which laid the continent open to adventure,
which made the land a rich storehouse of the unexpected, which kept vocabulary ungoverned and the
language fluid----this same ambiguity suffused both the Crockett legends were never quite certain whether
to laugh or to applaud, or whether what they saw and heard was wonderful, awful or ridiculous.
Question 6: What is the main point the author makes in the passage?
A. Davy Crockett wrote humorous stories about mastering the nature.
B. American popular heroes were characteristically comic.
C. The Davy Crockett stories reflected the adventurous spirit of early America.
D. American popular literature was based on the legends of other times and places.

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 following questions.
The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in
one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans
had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood.

The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax
forest. Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of
fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new
forests. By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was
still extremely abundant.
The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a
foundation of the economy. Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown
in Britain. Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking. Thirdly, it was used as the source of
important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder;
and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.
The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at that time
was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to
exploit her rich iron mines. But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was
encouraged and became successful. However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not
follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke
smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution. In
the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because
their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron.
Question 48: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The advantages of using wood in the colonies
B. The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies
C. The roots of the Industrial Revolution
D. The difference between charcoal iron and coke iron
Question 49: The word strikingly in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
.
A. realistically
B. dramatically

Question 50: Which of the following is a common assumption about the forests of North America during

the colonial period?
A. They contained only a few types of trees.
B. They existed only along the Atlantic seaboard.
C. They had little or no economic value.
D. They covered the entire continent.
Question 51: The word “abundant” in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to
.
A. redundant
B. sufficient
C. insufficient
D. plentiful


Question 52: According to the passage, by the end of the colonial period, the price of wood in Eastern
cities
.
A. rose quickly because wood was becoming so scarce.
B. was much higher than it was in Britain.
C. was slightly higher than in previous years.
D. decreased rapidly because of lower demand for wood.
Question 53: What can be inferred about houses in Britain during the period written about in the passage?
A. They were more expensive than American houses.
B. They were generally built with imported materials.
C. They were typically smaller than homes in North America.
D. They were usually built from materials built from materials other than wood.
Question 54: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source of industrial compounds?
A. potash
B. charcoal
C. gunpowder
D. tannic acid

Question 55: Why does the author mention gunpowder in paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate the negative aspects of some industrial processes
B. To remind readers that the colonial era ended in warfare
C. To give an example of a product made with wood compounds
D. To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies
Question 56: The phrase follow suit in paragraph 4 means
.
A. do the same thing
B. make an attempt
C. have the opportunity
D. take a risk
Question 57: According to the passage, why was the use of coke smelting advantageous?
A. It led to advances in technology.
B. It was less expensive than wood smelting.
C. It produced a stronger type of iron than wood smelting.
D. It stimulated the demand for wood.

Lin Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything else
e
that is included in one’s possessions. Other forms of property can be intangible and copyright
deals with intangible forms of property. Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of
creative works, for example, books, magazine articles, maps, films, plays, television shows,
software, paintings, photographs, music, choreography in dance and all other forms of intellectual
5

or artistic property.
Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyright
establishes the ownership of the creator. When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, it belongs
to this individual as a tangible object. However, the authors of the magazine articles own the
10
research and the writing that went into creating the articles. The right to make and sell or give
away copies of books or articles belongs to the authors, publishers, or other individuals or
organizations that hold the copyright. To copy an entire book or a part of it, permission must be
received from the copyright owner, who will most likely expect to be paid.
Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property. Music may be played
15 by anyone after it is published. However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to pay a
fee, called a royalty. A similar principle applies to performances of songs and plays. On the other
hand, names, ideas, and book titles are accepted. Ideas do not become copyrighted property until
they are published in a book, a painting or a musical work. Almost all artistic work created before
th
the 20 century is not copyrighted because it was created before the copyright law was passed.
20 The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy. Plagiarizing
the work of another person means passing it off as one’s own. The word plagiarism is derived
from the Latin plagiarus, which means “abductor”. Piracy may be an act of one person, but, in
many cases, it is a joint effort of several people who reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for

profit without paying royalties to the creator. Technological innovations have made piracy easy
25 and anyone can duplicate a motion picture on videotape, a computer program, or a book. Video
cassette recorders can be used by practically anyone to copy movies and television programs, and
copying software has become almost as easy as copying a book. Large companies zealously
monitor their copyrights for slogans, advertisements, and brand names, protected by a trademark.
