Exercise 1. Choose from A, B, C, or D the one that best answers each of the questions in the
following passage.
May 7th 1840 was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth
century: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the son of a mining inspector. Tchaikovsky studied music as a
child and later studied composition at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. His greatest period of
productivity occurred between 1876 and 1890, during which time he enjoyed patronage of
Madame von Meck, a woman he never met, who gave him a yearly living stipend. Madame von
Meck later terminated her friendship with Tchaikovsky, as well as his living allowance, when she,
herself, was facing financial difficulties. It was during the time of Madame von Meck’s patronage,
however, that Tchaikovsky created the music for which he is most famous, including the music for

the ballets of “Swan Lake” and “The Sleeping Beauty”. Tchaikovsky’s music, well-known for its rich
melodic and sometimes melancholy passages, was one of the first that brought serious dramatic
music to dance. Before this, little attention had been given to the music behind the dance.
Tchaikovsky died ostensibly of cholera on November 6th 1893, though there are now some scholars
who argue that he committed suicide.
1. The best title for this passage could be_________.
A. “The Life and Music of Tchaikovsky”
B. “Development of Tchaikovsky’s Music for Ballets”
C. “Tchaikovsky’s Relationship with Madame von Meck”

A. she had economic troubles
B. she was generous
C. she was never introduced to Tchaikovsky D. she enjoyed Tchaikovsky’s music
3. According to the passage, Tchaikovsky’s music is most well-known for_________.
A. it’s repetitive and monotonous tones
B. the ballet-like quality of music
C. the richness and melodic drama of the music
D. its lively, capricious melodies
4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Tchaikovsky’s influence on ballet music.
B. Tchaikovsky’s unhappiness leading to suicide.
C. The patronage of Madame von Meck.
D. Tchaikovsky’s productivity in composing.
5. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.
A. it was not the music behind the dance that made Tchaikovsky famous
B. there is suspicion on the cause of Tchaikovsky’s death
C. Madame von Meck was one of the most famous Russian composers
D. Madame von Meck was one of Tchaikovsky’s girlfriends

Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that
create the tides. No other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves
created by the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface.
The currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their
impressive sweep.

The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more
distant Sun. In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost
star of the universe. In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by
the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty
minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day.
And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies. The tidal
movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full. These are the
highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides. At
these times the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is
added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs,
and to draw a high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the
Sun, Moon and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and
Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference
between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month.
1. What is the main point of the first paragraph?
A. The waves created by ocean currents are very large.
B. Despite the strength of the wind, it only moves surface water.
C. Deep ocean water is seldom affected by forces that move water.
D. The tides are the most powerful force to affect the movement of ocean water.
2. The words "In reality" in the passage is closest in meaning to_________.

A. surprisingly
B. actually
C. characteristically D. similarly
3. It can be inferred from the passage that the most important factor in determining how much
gravitational effect one object in space has on the tides is_________.
A. size
B. distance
C. temperature
D. density
4. The word "configuration" in the passage is closest in meaning to_________.
A. unit
B. center
C. surface
D. arrangement
5. Neap tides occur when_________.
A. the Sun counteracts the Moon's gravitational attraction
B. the Moon is full
C. the Moon is farthest from the Sun
D. waves created by the wind combine with the Moon's gravitational attraction
Exercise 3. Choose from A, B, C, or D the one that best answers each of the questions in the
following passage.
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places, it is actually considered
unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They
find that the phones are means of communication – having a mobile phone shows that they are
cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals
worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems
from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile
phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no
proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.

On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people
who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with
modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because
of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of
his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his
working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his
employer's doctor didn't agree.
