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.
Commuting is the practice of travelling a long disteince to a town or city to work each day, and then travelling home again
in the evening. The word commuting comes from commutation ticket, a US rail ticket for repeated journeys, called a season
ticket in Britain. Regular travellers are called commuters.
The US has many commuters. A few, mostly on the East Coast, commute by train or subway, but most depend on the car.
Some leave home very early to avoid the traffic jams, and sleep in their cars until their office opens. Many people accept a
long trip to work so that they can live in quiet bedroom communities away from the city, but another reason is ‘white flight’.
In the 1960s most cities began to desegregate their schools, so that there were no longer separate schools for white and black
children. Many white families did not want to send their children to desegregated schools, so they moved to the suburbs,
which have their own schools, and where, for various reasons, few black people five.
Millions of people in Britain commute by car or train. Some spend two or three hours a day travelling, so that they and their
families can live in suburbia or in the countryside. Cities are surrounded by commuter belts. Part of the commuter belt around
London is called the stockbroker belt because it contains houses where rich business people live. Some places are becoming
dormitory towns, because people sleep there but take little part in local activities.
Most commuters travel to and from work at the same time, causing the morning and evening rush hours, when buses and
trains are crowded and there are traffic jams on the roads. Commuters on trains rarely talk to each other and spend their
journey reading, sleeping or using their mobile phones, though this is not popular with other passengers. Increasing numbers
of people now work at home some days of the week, linked to their offices by computer, a practice called telecommuting.
Cities in both Britain and the US are trying to reduce the number of cars coming into town each day. Some companies

encourage car-pooling (called car sharing in Britain), an arrangement for people who live and work near each other to travel
together. Some US cities have a public service that helps such people to contact each other, and traffic lanes are reserved for
car-pool vehicles. But cars and petrol/gas are cheap in the US, and many people prefer to drive alone because it gives them
more freedom. In Britain many cities have park-and-ride schemes, car parks on the edge of the city from which buses take
drivers into the centre.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to

Real estate sales agents work on behalf of property owners and earn a commission, or percentage of the sale or rental of
property. Agents are employed by real estate agencies that sell or rent property as well as manage, appraise, or develop real
estate. Some agencies combine their real estate business with an insurance agency or law practice. Most real estate agents sell
private homes. Some specialize in commercial property such as factories, apartment buildmgs, stores and office buildings.
Others specialize in undeveloped land sites for commercial or residential use or go into agricultural real estate. Real estate
agents work from a file of listings of property that is for sale or rent. A listing is an agreement, usually in the form of a
contract, between the owners of the property and the agent. The owners agree to pay the agent a percentage of the selling
price.
Real estate agents obtain new listings for their agency by locating property owners interested in selling. For example, they
may call home owners who are trying to sell their houses privately through newspaper want ads. Real estate agents visit
newly listed properties so that they can familiarize themselves with the features of the property before bringing prospective
buyers to see it.
In any sale, the agents have to negotiate with both the seller and the buyer. Many sellers begin by asking more for their
property but buyers are not willmg to pay for it. Agents must be able to convince sellers to set a realistic price. Most of the
agents’ efforts focus on the buyer, however. Agents try to learn what will motivate the buyers to make a purchase. Agents
must be able to convince them that the property suits their needs and is a good buy. Buyers generally offer less for a property


than the seller asks. Agents help to negotiate the final price. They usually help buyers arrange bank loans and are generally
present at closings, when final contracts of sale are signed.

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.
Commuting is the practice of travelling a long disteince to a town or city to work each day, and then travelling home again
in the evening. The word commuting comes from commutation ticket, a US rail ticket for repeated journeys, called a season

ticket in Britain. Regular travellers are called commuters.
The US has many commuters. A few, mostly on the East Coast, commute by train or subway, but most depend on the car.
Some leave home very early to avoid the traffic jams, and sleep in their cars until their office opens. Many people accept a
long trip to work so that they can live in quiet bedroom communities away from the city, but another reason is ‘white flight’.
In the 1960s most cities began to desegregate their schools, so that there were no longer separate schools for white and black
children. Many white families did not want to send their children to desegregated schools, so they moved to the suburbs,
which have their own schools, and where, for various reasons, few black people five.
Millions of people in Britain commute by car or train. Some spend two or three hours a day travelling, so that they and their
families can live in suburbia or in the countryside. Cities are surrounded by commuter belts. Part of the commuter belt around
London is called the stockbroker belt because it contains houses where rich business people live. Some places are becoming
dormitory towns, because people sleep there but take little part in local activities.
Most commuters travel to and from work at the same time, causing the morning and evening rush hours, when buses and
trains are crowded and there are traffic jams on the roads. Commuters on trains rarely talk to each other and spend their
journey reading, sleeping or using their mobile phones, though this is not popular with other passengers. Increasing numbers
of people now work at home some days of the week, linked to their offices by computer, a practice called telecommuting.
Cities in both Britain and the US are trying to reduce the number of cars coming into town each day. Some companies
encourage car-pooling (called car sharing in Britain), an arrangement for people who live and work near each other to travel
together. Some US cities have a public service that helps such people to contact each other, and traffic lanes are reserved for
car-pool vehicles. But cars and petrol/gas are cheap in the US, and many people prefer to drive alone because it gives them


more freedom. In Britain many cities have park-and-ride schemes, car parks on the edge of the city from which buses take
drivers into the centre.
Question 42: Which of the following definitions of commuting would the author of this passage most probably agree with?
A. Travelling to work and then home again in a day within a rural district.
B. Regularly travelling a long distance between one’s place of work and one’s home.
C. Using a commutation ticket for special journeys in all seasons of the year.
D. Travelling for hours from a town or city to work in the countryside every day.
Question 43: The phrase "linked to" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to.......
A. satisfied with

B. connected to
C. shared with
D. related to
Question 44: All of the following are measures to reduce the number of cars coming into town each day in the US and/or
Britain EXCEPT........
A. car pooling/sharing
B. park-and-ride schemes
C. free car parks in the city centre
D. traffic lanes for car pooling
Question 45: It can be inferred from the passage that dormitory towns in Britain are places where people........
A. take part in local activities
B. contribute to the local community
C. are employed locally D. stay for the night
Question 46: The word "repeated" 1 in paragraph 1 most probably means........
A. saying something again.
B. doing something once again.
C. happening again and again.
D. buying a season ticket again.
Question 47: The word "it" in the last paragraph refers to.......
A. car pool
B. travelling together
C. petrol / gas
D. driving alone
Question 48: Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Commuting helps people in the US and Britain save a lot of time.
B. The US has considerably more commuters than Britain,
C. Britain has considerably more commuters than the US.
D. Both the US and Britain have a great number of commuters.

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.
Commuting is the practice of travelling a long disteince to a town or city to work each day, and then travelling home again
in the evening. The word commuting comes from commutation ticket, a US rail ticket for repeated journeys, called a season
ticket in Britain. Regular travellers are called commuters.
The US has many commuters. A few, mostly on the East Coast, commute by train or subway, but most depend on the car.
Some leave home very early to avoid the traffic jams, and sleep in their cars until their office opens. Many people accept a
long trip to work so that they can live in quiet bedroom communities away from the city, but another reason is ‘white flight’.
In the 1960s most cities began to desegregate their schools, so that there were no longer separate schools for white and black
children. Many white families did not want to send their children to desegregated schools, so they moved to the suburbs,
which have their own schools, and where, for various reasons, few black people five.
Millions of people in Britain commute by car or train. Some spend two or three hours a day travelling, so that they and their
families can live in suburbia or in the countryside. Cities are surrounded by commuter belts. Part of the commuter belt around
London is called the stockbroker belt because it contains houses where rich business people live. Some places are becoming
dormitory towns, because people sleep there but take little part in local activities.
Most commuters travel to and from work at the same time, causing the morning and evening rush hours, when buses and
trains are crowded and there are traffic jams on the roads. Commuters on trains rarely talk to each other and spend their
journey reading, sleeping or using their mobile phones, though this is not popular with other passengers. Increasing numbers
of people now work at home some days of the week, linked to their offices by computer, a practice called telecommuting.
Cities in both Britain and the US are trying to reduce the number of cars coming into town each day. Some companies
encourage car-pooling (called car sharing in Britain), an arrangement for people who live and work near each other to travel
together. Some US cities have a public service that helps such people to contact each other, and traffic lanes are reserved for
car-pool vehicles. But cars and petrol/gas are cheap in the US, and many people prefer to drive alone because it gives them
more freedom. In Britain many cities have park-and-ride schemes, car parks on the edge of the city from which buses take
drivers into the centre.

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.
Real estate sales agents work on behalf of property owners and earn a commission, or percentage of the sale or rental of
property. Agents are employed by real estate agencies that sell or rent property as well as manage, appraise, or develop real
estate. Some agencies combine their real estate business with an insurance agency or law practice. Most real estate agents sell
private homes. Some specialize in commercial property such as factories, apartment buildmgs, stores and office buildings.
Others specialize in undeveloped land sites for commercial or residential use or go into agricultural real estate. Real estate
agents work from a file of listings of property that is for sale or rent. A listing is an agreement, usually in the form of a
contract, between the owners of the property and the agent. The owners agree to pay the agent a percentage of the selling
price.
Real estate agents obtain new listings for their agency by locating property owners interested in selling. For example, they

may call home owners who are trying to sell their houses privately through newspaper want ads. Real estate agents visit
newly listed properties so that they can familiarize themselves with the features of the property before bringing prospective
buyers to see it.
In any sale, the agents have to negotiate with both the seller and the buyer. Many sellers begin by asking more for their
property but buyers are not willmg to pay for it. Agents must be able to convince sellers to set a realistic price. Most of the
agents’ efforts focus on the buyer, however. Agents try to learn what will motivate the buyers to make a purchase. Agents
must be able to convince them that the property suits their needs and is a good buy. Buyers generally offer less for a property


than the seller asks. Agents help to negotiate the final price. They usually help buyers arrange bank loans and are generally
present at closings, when final contracts of sale are signed.

Commuting is the practice of travelling a long disteince to a town or city to work each day, and then travelling home again
in the evening. The word commuting comes from commutation ticket, a US rail ticket for repeated journeys, called a season
ticket in Britain. Regular travellers are called commuters.
The US has many commuters. A few, mostly on the East Coast, commute by train or subway, but most depend on the car.
Some leave home very early to avoid the traffic jams, and sleep in their cars until their office opens. Many people accept a

long trip to work so that they can live in quiet bedroom communities away from the city, but another reason is ‘white flight’.
In the 1960s most cities began to desegregate their schools, so that there were no longer separate schools for white and black
children. Many white families did not want to send their children to desegregated schools, so they moved to the suburbs,
which have their own schools, and where, for various reasons, few black people five.
Millions of people in Britain commute by car or train. Some spend two or three hours a day travelling, so that they and their
families can live in suburbia or in the countryside. Cities are surrounded by commuter belts. Part of the commuter belt around
London is called the stockbroker belt because it contains houses where rich business people live. Some places are becoming
dormitory towns, because people sleep there but take little part in local activities.
Most commuters travel to and from work at the same time, causing the morning and evening rush hours, when buses and
trains are crowded and there are traffic jams on the roads. Commuters on trains rarely talk to each other and spend their
journey reading, sleeping or using their mobile phones, though this is not popular with other passengers. Increasing numbers
of people now work at home some days of the week, linked to their offices by computer, a practice called telecommuting.
Cities in both Britain and the US are trying to reduce the number of cars coming into town each day. Some companies
encourage car-pooling (called car sharing in Britain), an arrangement for people who live and work near each other to travel


together. Some US cities have a public service that helps such people to contact each other, and traffic lanes are reserved for
car-pool vehicles. But cars and petrol/gas are cheap in the US, and many people prefer to drive alone because it gives them
more freedom. In Britain many cities have park-and-ride schemes, car parks on the edge of the city from which buses take
drivers into the centre.

A. Regularly travelling a long distance between one’s place of work and one’s home.
B. Using a commutation ticket for special journeys in all seasons of the year.

Real estate sales agents work on behalf of property owners and earn a commission, or percentage of the sale or rental of
property. Agents are employed by real estate agencies that sell or rent property as well as manage, appraise, or develop real

estate. Some agencies combine their real estate business with an insurance agency or law practice. Most real estate agents sell
private homes. Some specialize in commercial property such as factories, apartment buildmgs, stores and office buildings.
Others specialize in undeveloped land sites for commercial or residential use or go into agricultural real estate. Real estate
agents work from a file of listings of property that is for sale or rent. A listing is an agreement, usually in the form of a
contract, between the owners of the property and the agent. The owners agree to pay the agent a percentage of the selling
price.
Real estate agents obtain new listings for their agency by locating property owners interested in selling. For example, they
may call home owners who are trying to sell their houses privately through newspaper want ads. Real estate agents visit
newly listed properties so that they can familiarize themselves with the features of the property before bringing prospective
buyers to see it.

property but buyers are not willmg to pay for it. Agents must be able to convince sellers to set a realistic price. Most of the
