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.
Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the
dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around
1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the
Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England
and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the

next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade
(including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers
became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities grew, English
gradually became the primary language of international business, banking, and diplomacy.
Currently, more than 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is
in English. Two-thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of
technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there are
more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are non-native speakers,
constituting the largest number of non-native users of any language in the world.
Question 26: Approximately when did English begin to be used beyond England?
A. in 1066
B. around 1350
C. before 1600D. after 1600
Question 27: According to the passage, what of the following did NOT contribute to the spread of
English around the world?
A. the slave trade
B. the Norman invasion
C. missionaries
D. colonization
Question 28: Which of the following is true?
A. English became a world language around 1350.
B. Less than half of information stored on computer systems in the world is now in English.
C. English borrowed a lot from French.
D. Currently English is not spoken in Wales, Scotland, or Ireland.
Question 29: According to the passage, approximately how many non-native users of English are
there in the world today?
A. a quarter million B. half a million
C. 350 million
D. 700 million
Question 30: What is the main topic of this passage?

A. the number of non-native users of English
B. the French influence on the English language
C. the expansion of English as an international language
D. the use of English for science and technology

The point at which physical decline with age begins adversely to affect a driver’s capability
has not yet been thoroughly studies. A survey of more than 3,000 road accidents in Michigan

of 71 who had caused a collision by failing to yield, turning carelessly or changing lanes. Older
drivers are obviously more (32)________ to injury in vehicle crashes, as well as being a potential higher

different physical (34)________ such as the production of the nerve impulse, perception of the signal,
choice of response and transmission to the muscles. Some of these (35)________ more than others with
age, but the overall effect increases the time it takes to respond for more (36)________ drivers. Part of
the ageing process, however, does include the (37)________ of experience, often in the subconscious,
which triggers (38)________ danger warnings than in younger drivers who have not experienced
similar situations. This (39)________ of judgment heightens the perception of risk and often leads older

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.
When something terrible happens, such as an earthquake or a flood, people need help. At
these times, they work together in groups. On January 17, 1995, a powerful earthquake hit the city of
Kobe, Japan. Many buildings burned or collapsed. Part of an expressway fell over. Train lines were
damaged, and supplies of electricity, gas, and water were cut off. Soon after the earthquake was over,
people in Kobe began working together to save their city. Neighbors pull each other out of collapsed
buildings. Ordinary people put out fires even before the fire trucks arrived. Volunteers in Kobe
organized themselves into teams. They worked out a system to send help to where it was needed.
Some people brought food, water, clothes, and electric generators to different parts of the city. Other
teams search for belongings in damaged stores and homes. Some volunteers took care of children
who had lost their parents. Teams of volunteers from outside Japan helped, too. A rescue team with
search dogs came from Switzerland. A group of doctors, called Doctors Without Borders, came from

EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE
Education is another area of social life in which information technology is
changing the way we communicate. Today's college students may not simply sit in a
lecture or a library to learn about their field. Through their computers and the wonders of
virtual reality theycan participate in lifelike simulated experiences. Consider the
following scenario of the future of education made possible through developments in
information technology.
For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory.

Some of the older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial


support or instruction from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work
online from home. Students must complete a minimum number of study hours per year;
however, they may make up these hours by studying at home at times that suit their
family schedule. They can log on early or late in the day and even join live classes in
other countries. In order to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer
software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week each student studies online as well as that students' learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be
available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify the best learning
activities and condition for each individual student and generate similar activities. Itcan
also identify areas of weak achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the
students' needs.
Question 19: How many times are children who are older than 10 required to go to
school weekly?
A. notime
B. three times
C. four times
D. once or twice
Question 21: What is NOT MENTIONED as a benefit of information technology to the
students?
A. Students' learning time won't be monitored
B. Students' weak achievement can be identified.
C. Students can learn at times that suit their schedule
D. Students can stay at home to learn
Question 22: What CAN'T the software do?
A. Monitor the time the students learn
B. Find out the best activities for the
students
C. Identify weaknesses of the students

D. Design materials for the students
Question 23: What is the topic of the passage?
A. The effect of information technology on education
B. Computer software will make sure students learn at home
C. Students can know about their weak aspects to focus.
D. students don't have to go to school any more
Question 26: Who/What counts the number of hours per week that students spend
learning?
A. Parents
B. Teacher
C. Computer software
D. Virtual reality
Question 27: The word adequately in the passage mostly means_______.

C. consequently
D. Suitably
Question 28: The word encouraged in the passage mostly means_________.
A. Suggested
B. Allowed

Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial language. It was created more
than a century ago by Polish eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed
that a common language would help to alleviate some of the misunderstandings among
cultures.
In Zamenhofs first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language
that was as uncomplicated as possible. This first language included words such as ab, ac,

ba, eb, be, and ce. This did not result in a workable language in that these monosyllabic
words. though short, were not easy to understand or to retain
Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language. He
made the words in his language sound like words that people already knew, but he


simplified the grammar tremendously. One example of how he simplified the language
can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this language end in 0, as in the noun amiko,
which means "friend," and all adjectives end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means
"pretty." Another example of the simplified language can be seen in the prefix mal-,
which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word malamiko therefore means "enemy,"
and the word malbela therefore means "ugly" in Zamenhofs language.
In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it. He used
a pen name, Dr. Esperanto, when signing the book. He selected the name Esperanto
because this word means "a person who hopes" in his language. Esperanto clubs began
popping up throughout Europe and by1905, Esperanto had spread from Europe to
America and Asia.
In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximately
700 attendees from 20 different countries. Congresses were held annually for nine years,
and 4,000 attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled
for 1914, when World War I erupted and forced its cancellation.
Esperanto has had its ups and downs in the period since World War I. Today,
years after it was introduced, it is estimated that perhaps a quarter of a million people are
fluent in it. This may seem like a large number, but it is really quite small when
compared with the billion English speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in
today's world. Current advocates would like to see its use grow considerably and are
taking steps to try to make this happen
Question 34: The expression "popping up" in the fourth paragraph could best be
replaced by________.
A. shouting

B. leaping
C. leaping
D. opening
Question 35: It can be inferred from the passage that the Third World Congress of
Esperanto took place in_________.
A. 1905
B.1907
C. 1913
D. 1909
Question 36: This passage would most likely be assigned reading in a course
on________.
A. English grammar
B. applied linguistics
C. world government
D. European history
Question 38: According to the passage, Zamenhof wanted to create a universal
language________.
A. to provide a more complex language
B. to build a name for himself
C. to resolve cultural differences
D. to create one world culture
Question 39: According to the passage, what happened to the Tenth World Esperanto
Congress?
A. It had 4,000 attendees
B. It was scheduled for 1915
C. It had attendees from 20 countries
D. It never took place

A. using language to communicate internationally
B. how language can be improved

C. a language developed in the last few years
D. one man's efforts to create a universal language

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.
New surveys suggest that the technological tools we use to make our lives easier are killing our
leisure time. We are working longer hours, taking fewer and shorter vacations (and when we do go
away, we take our cell phones, PDAs, and laptops along). And, we are more stressed than ever as
increased use of e-mail, voice mail, cell phones, and the Internet is destroying any idea of privacy and
leisure.
Since the Industrial Revolution, people have assumed that new labor-saving devices would free them
from the burdens of the workplace and give them more time to grow intellectually, creatively, and
socially – exploring the arts, keeping up with current events, spending more time with friends and
family, and even just ‘goofing off’.
But here we are at the start of the 21 st century, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom times
in human history, and nothing could be further from the truth. The very tools that were supposed to
liberate us have bound us to our work and study in ways that were inconceivable just a few years ago. It
would seem that technology almost never does what we expect.
In ‘the old days’, the lines between work and leisure time were markedly clearer. People left their
offices at a predictable time, were often completely disconnected from and out of touch with their jobs
as they traveled to and from work, and were off-duty once they were home. That is no longer true. In
today’s highly competitive job market, employers demand increased productivity, expecting workers to
put in longer hours and to keep in touch almost constantly via fax, cell phones, e-mail, or other
communications devices. As a result, employees feel the need to check in on what is going on at the
office, even on days off. They feel pressured to work after hours just to catch up on everything they

have to do. Workers work harder and longer, change their work tasks more frequently, and have more
and more reasons to worry about job security.
Bosses, colleagues, family members, lovers, and friends expect instant responses to voice mail and email messages. Even college students have become bound to their desks by an environment in which
faculty, friends, and other members of the college community increasingly do their work online. Studies
of time spent on instant messaging services would probably show staggering use.
This is not what technology was supposed to be doing for us. New technologies, from genetic research
to the Internet, offer all sorts of benefits and opportunities. But, when new tools make life more difficult
and stressful rather than easier and more meaningful – and we are, as a society, barely conscious of it –
then something has gone seriously awry, both with our expectations for technology and our
understanding of how it should benefit us.
From “Summit 1” by Joan Saslow & Allen Ascher

A. They make our life more stressful.

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.
Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety. Instead, critics of
globalization believe aspects of the way globalization operates should be changed. The debate over
globalization is about what the best rules are for governing the global economy so that its advantages
can grow while its problems can be solved.
On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international
trade and investment, allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater
freedom of choice. With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich
countries to the developing countries. Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced
taxes make goods produced at low cost from faraway places cheaper to buy. Producers of goods gain by
selling to a wider market. More competition keeps sellers on their toes and allows ideas and new

technology to spread and benefit others.
On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty,
inequality, social conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage. They say that the most
developed nations – the United States, Germany, and Japan – succeeded not because of free trade but
because of protectionism and subsidies. They argue that the more recently successful economies of
South Korea, Taiwan, and China all had strong state-led development strategies that did not follow neoliberalism. These critics think that government encouragement of “infant industries” – that is, industries
that are just beginning to develop – enables a country to become internationally competitive.
Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of
money from speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles. These bubbles are characterized
by the rapid inflow of foreign funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property values. When the
economy cannot sustain such expectation, the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out
of the country.
Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization
itself but rather against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment. The question raised
by nongovernmental organizations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization
will result in a rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of lowering
living standards and undermining environmental regulations.
One of the key problems of the 21 st century will be determining to what extent markets should be
regulated to promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution of public goods on a global
scale.
