Read the following pasage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet ti indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
In some cultures, tea drinking is a social event with specific customs. China and the United Kingdom are
two countries with formal, well-developed tea cultures.
In China, there are ceremonial customs for every aspect of tea drinking, from filling the cup to thanking
the pourer. A tea drinker can thank the server by tapping the table with the index and middle fingers. In
Chinese society, tea customs can express a range of emotions. Offering tea to one’s elders, for example, is a
way of showing respect. In other situations, pouring tea for someone can be a form of apology. On the other
hand, a newly married couple may serve tea during their wedding ceremony to express gratitude to their
parents for all the sacrifices they made raising them.
In the United Kingdom, tea culture is closely tied to the workday schedule. Afternoon tea, Britain’s
best-known tea ceremony, started in the 1840s. It usually happens between 4 and 6 p.m. but can be somewhat
earlier or later. It is a time for conversation and relaxation, when people take a break from their day.
Traditionally, afternoon tea was taken with a light snack of pastries and sandwiches. The tea itself, usually from
India or Ceylon (which is now known as Sri Lanka), was served in a silver teapot and china cups. Afternoon tea
is still sometimes served formally today, but it is just as often served informally. High tea is a variation on
afternoon tea originally adapted for working-class families who could not afford a proper dinner. It happens
slightly later in the day and is served with food more substantial than pastries and sandwiches.
In China, tea customs are a means of emotional expression. In the United Kingdom, they break up the
workday schedule and give people an opportunity to socialize and rest. But these traditions are disappearing in
both countries as time goes by. What purpose do tea customs in your country serve? Are these customs still
followed today?
Question 36: What is the passage mainly about?
A. how Chinese tea customs inflenced the United Kingdom

A. show that tea customs have a very long history
B. explain that the meaning of tea drinking varies by culture
C. point out that China and the United Kingdom have much in common
D. explain why tea customs in China and the United Kingdom are disappearing
Question 39: The word “tied” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A. recorded
B. collected
C. reported
D. related

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
Look in the mirror—are you wearing glasses right now? Did you choose that particular pair of glasses
because of their function or because of their design? Nowadays, we have many options to
choose from.
Glasses have come a long way since the time of their origin. The first record of lenses used for
magnification appears in an Egyptian text from around the 5th century B.C. Yet the first mention of
eyeglasses did not come until more than a millennium and a half later. In 1306, a religious leader in Italy
mentioned that eyeglasses had been around for two decades. From that, we can infer that they were invented
around 1286. In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin developed the technology further when he created
bifocals.
In spite of advances like contact lenses and laser eye surgery, glasses remain popular today. What will
be the next major leap in the evolution of glasses? Technology companies are researching ways to make glasses
into wearable computers. Perhaps these will one day replace smartphones. Future glasses may have a function
that is completely apart from correcting vision. They may look like the glasses of the past, with a headband that
runs across your forehead and hooks behind each ear. But instead of having lenses, they may hold a partially
transparent screen in front of your eyes. Using this screen, you may be able to make calls, browse the Internet,
and get directions. In addition to a screen, future glasses may have an earpiece, speaker, and microphone,
which may allow you to control the device through speech. If you actually need glasses to correct your vision,
however, you may have to hope that these futuristic features can be built into regular glasses.
The glasses of the future sound very convenient, but it’s likely they will have some unforeseen side
effects. It would be a good idea to study their impact before we start wearing screens in front of our eyes all the
time.
Question 43: What is the passage mainly about?
A. how glasses were invented in ancient Egypt
B. why glasses have not changed much since their invention
C. the benefis of making wearable computers in the future
D. how glasses have evolved and what they might be like in the future
Question 44: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to _______.

A. explain what glasses will probably look like in the future
B. warn readers about a possible problem with future glasses
C. make readers excited about possible developments in eyewear
D. explain the differences between glasses of the past and the present
Question 46: The word “partially” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A. not quickly
B. not correctly
C. not regularly
D. not completely
Question 47: Where did the fist record of lenses appear?
A. in an 18th century book about eye surgery
B. in notes made by the inventor Benjamin Franklin
C. in an Egyptian text from the 5th century B.C.
D. in a talk given by an Italian leader
Question 48: Which is NOT mentioned as a feature of future glasses?
A. They will fil the function of a smartphone.
B. They will have a partially see-through screen.
C. They will be controlled through speech.
D. They will be more comfortable than regular glasses.
Question 49: The word “unforeseen” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______
A. unpredicted
B. unbelievable
C. unknown
D. unestimated
Question 50: What can be inferred about future glasses?
A. They will not contain lenses that correct vision. B. They will cost less than current glasses.

C. They will be less breakable than normal glasses. D. They will not need to be worn every day.
