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 from 36 to 42.
An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans
to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or
materials adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits
continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were established in England in
the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or
smelled - a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As
technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals
has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor
might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon
monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the
concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they
became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification
scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a
global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human

activities.
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city.
In such a region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the
natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of
noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear
will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence
of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be
a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an
increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area.
For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million
(ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has a
natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15
ppm.
Question 36: An air pollutant is considered a compound added directly or indirectly
by_______ to the atmosphere.
A. people
B. animals
C. disasters
D. the weather
Question 37: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. What constitutes an air pollutant B. The economic impact of air pollution.
C. How much harm air pollutants can cause.
D. The effects of compounds
added to the atmosphere
Question 38:

A. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas
B. the definition of air pollution will continue to change
C. most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled
D. a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities
Question 40:For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an
important role in controlling air pollution?
A. They function as part of a purification process.
B. They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.
C. They have existed since the Earth developed
D. They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants.
Question 41:According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in
localized regions___.
A. will damage areas outside of the localized regions
B. will react harmfully with natural pollutants
C. can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants

B. it can be calculated quickly
C. it is in a localized area
D. the other substances in the area are
known
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 from 43 to 50.
The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of
primary and secondary education prior to attending university or college. This may be
accomplished either at public or government-operated schools, or at private
schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may also be completed
outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of
the American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one
of the most impressive facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and
leaders from other countries have experienced the American education system and
graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and industries, the
American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at
the world's best schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American school
and being exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in
your future.
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational
or high school, a thorough understanding of how the American education system
works is essential. Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an
international student will find it difficult to make the right academic choices. It is no
surprise that the American education system and the American school system host
more international students than any other countries in the world!

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 from 38 to 45.
One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien,
achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, 'The Lord of the Rings'.
Bom in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World
War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo Saxon and English language
and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books
that comprise 'The Lord of the Rings' were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949.

This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak
of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a
sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and
legends created by Tolkien.
The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of
historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot
describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a
magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a
time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before
humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil
creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The
characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological
stories from Greece and Northern Europe.
Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have
tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during
World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his
years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create
mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful
fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of
work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today.

A. When he was a professor
B. During World War I
C. During World War II
D. When he was a student

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 from 36 to 42.
Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be
done with care. View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply
as a way to earn a living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your
options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career
and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work
influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you
live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider.
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You
may want to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses.
Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask
yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel ? Do you want to work with
children ? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work ?” There are no right
or wrong answers ; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job
features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot
accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you.
The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit
at a desk all day. If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector,
supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office.
Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields in
concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large
cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and
retail sales are found in all regions of the country.

If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages.
Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however,
pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training,
promotions and commission.
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke
positive or negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears
glamorous, while that of a plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what
they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious.
Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers
can be as highly paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as you
mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new
opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one.
Question 36: The author states that “There are no right or wrong answers” in
order to ____.

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 from 43 to 50.
If we took a look at how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years
ago, we would be very surprised to find out that English was hardly used outside the
United Kingdom. The language most commonly used between people of different
nationalities, and particularly the aristocracy, was French. In fact, French was the
language of diplomacy, culture and education. However, that is not the case
nowadays. English has replaced French as the international language of
communication. Today, there are more people who speak English as a second
language than people who speak it as a first language.

There are many reasons why English has become the language of international
communication. Britain’s colonization of many parts of the world had something to do
with it, but it is mainly due to America’s rise to the position of major world power. This
helped spread popular American culture throughout the world bringing the language
with it.
But is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? Language
specialists seem to be divided over this issue. There are those who claim that it is
important to have a language that the people in our increasingly globalized world
have in common. According to others, English is associated with a particular culture
and therefore promotes that culture at the expense of others. Linguists have
suggested “Esperanto”, an artificially put-together language, as a solution to
international communication problems but without success. So English will continue
being the world language until some other language, maybe Chinese, which is the
most widely-spoken native language in the world, takes over as the world’s
international language instead of English.
Question 43: According to the passage, a century ago ______________.
A. educated people throughout Europe spoke English.
B. foreign travelers to England spoke only French.
C. French was much more popular than English.
D. only the French aristocracy could speak English.
Question 44: What is chiefly responsible for the growth in popularity of English?
A. Britain’s becoming an international power
B. The French losing many
colonies
17


C. American’s becoming powerful
D. The development of
American culture

Question 45: What is meant by “the language of diplomacy” ( line 4)
A. The language used by ordinary people.
B. The language used by the English and the French
C. The language used by the aristocracy.
D. The language used by governments
Question 46: What is true according to the passage?
A. The linguists don’t like Esperanto
B. Esperanto is not a
natural language
C. Esperanto is difficult to learn
D. Esperanto is becoming more
and more popular
Question 47: The linguists’ opinion on the spread of English is___________.
A. split
B. positive
C. negative
D. undecided
Question 48: The author believes that ___________.
A. English is easier to learn than Chinese
B. English will probably be replaced as an international language
C. Chinese is going to be the next language of international communication
D. Chinese is growing in popularity among non-native speakers
Question 49: These days ___________.
A. French is the language of diplomacy
B. more non-natives speak
English than natives
C. more people speak French than English
D. French is a dying
language
Question 50: What would be a good title for this passage?

A. English in the future
B. English as an international
language
C. English language means English culture
D. English - a difficult
language to learn

Read the 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
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, that
provides information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the
best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches
the news during presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an important
part of political life in the United States.
North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on
local television news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they
are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the
opinions of only those people whc appear at a certain location. Thus, such samples
can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers,
depending or which area the newspeople select. Second, television interviews tend to
attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away
others who may feel intimidated by a camerA. A survey must be based on a precise,
representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population.
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the
wording of questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough
for people to understand it. It must also be specific enough so that there are no
problems in interpreting the results. Even questions that are less structured must be
carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired. Surveys can be
indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the
questions are worded accurately.
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of
these forms of survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high
response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for

an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire. In addition, an interviewer
can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject's underlying feelings and
reasons. However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more
consistent.
Question 31: The word "they" in line 6 refers to……
A. North Americans
B. news shows
C. interviews
D.
opinions
Question 32: According to the passage, the main disadvantage of person-on-thestreet interviews is that they….

21


A. are not based on a representative sampling
B. are used only on
television
C. are not carefully worded
D. reflect political opinions
Question 33: The word "precise" in line 11 is closest in meaning to …..
A. accurate
B. rational
C. required
D. planned
Question 34: According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for
an effective survey?
A. A high number of respondents
B. Carefully worded questions
C. An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings

D. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results
Question 35: According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over
questionnaires is that live interviews ……
A. cost less
B. can produce more information
C. are easier to interpret
D. minimize the influence of the researcher
Question 36: It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists
may become frustrated with questionnaires is that…..
A. respondents often do not complete and return questionnaires
B. questionnaires are often difficult to read
C. questionnaires are expensive and difficult to distribute
D. respondents are too eager to supplement questions with their own opinions
Question 37: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The history of surveys in North America
B. The principles of conducting surveys
C. Problems associated with interpreting surveys
D. The importance of polls in American political life
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
Telecommuting is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes
and offices. For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor
entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence.
If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed,
employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers.
A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million
telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not
appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable
Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become
more

popular
?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on
the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the
telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too
difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the manager’s responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are
reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular
interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same
consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some
people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they
never really get away from the office.
Question 38: How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?
A. More than predicted in Business Week.
B. More than 8 million.
22


C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today. D. Fewer than last year.
Question 39: The phrase “of no consequence” means _____.
A. of no use
B. of no good
C. unimportant
D. irrelevant
Question 40: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting,
EXCEPT _____.
A. the opportunities for advancement B. the different system of supervision
C. the lack of interaction with a group D. The work place is in the home
Question 41: The word “ them” which is bold and italic refers to _____.

A. systems
B. telecommuters C. executives
D. responsibilities
Question 42: The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the
employees _____.
A. needn't regular interaction with their families
B. are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office
C. like that a work area in their home is away from the office
D. are ignorant of telecommuting
