Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 36 to 42.
Education is an issue which concerns many people in the UK as well as round the world. In
England, Wales and Northern Ireland pupils sit GCSE (General Certificate in Secondary Education)
exams followed 2 years later by A (Advanced) levels. Pupils in Scotland follow a different system,
finishing their time at school with the Higher Leaving Certificate. One particular worry - why are boys
doing so badly?
Some twenty years ago, the performance of girls and boys in class was compared. Boys scored
better in exams, so various measures were introduced to improve the performance of girls, including
having single sex girl-only classes. Now, the situation is reversed, with girls consistently out-performing
boys.
So, what has gone wrong with boys, and what can be done about it? John Dunsford, leader of the
association of head teachers of secondary schools, says that that the academic failure of boys is a problem
which has its roots in society rather than the classroom. Girls, more than boys, see education as a
passport to a good job. On the other hand, according to Penny Lewis, a head teacher, young men lack

confidence, which they hide with a show of bravado. They’re uncertain about their place in society.
Some boys grow up in families where there is no male role model to follow.
Moreover, boys may learn in a different way to girls, preferring small amounts of work with
immediate deadlines rather than large projects stretching into the distance. And education is not seen as
“cool”.
As one contributor to a BBC website put it, “Girls achieve more at school because they are

watching the future while the boys are watching the girls.”
This is not just a problem in Britain. In a study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and
Development and UNESCO, girls out-performed boys at reading at the age of 15 in all 45 countries. The
UK ranks ninth out of the 45 countries for reading despite the fact that pupils in the UK spend less time
reading than in most other countries. Interestingly, the study suggested that British children read for
pleasure more often than those in other countries.
(Source: />Question 36: Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Boys have always scored better in exams than girls.
B. Boys pay too much attention to girls to learn well at school.
C. Boys don’t do well at school because of what happens in class.
D. Boys prefer to work on large projects.
Question 37: What does the author mean by the phrase “see education as a passport” in the passage?
A. Girls try their best to avoid drifting out of school without qualifications and be better at socializing.

B. Girls see education as a means of broading their knowledge and exposuring to diverse cultures.
C. Girls regard education as a way of enabling them to go further and do more in life.
D. Girls think that learning is the key to the opportunity to go to many countries in the world.
Question 38: Some boys are not sure of themselves because of ______.
A. their lack of family support

B. their financial capability

C. their low self-esteem

D. their family situations

Question 39: What does the word “cool” in the passage mostly mean?
A. interesting

B. unattractive

C. fashionable

D. priceless

Question 40: The phrase “a show of bravado” in the passage refers to ______.
A. their lack of confidence at work

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 43 to 50.
The economic growth that many nations in Asia and increasingly Africa have experienced over the
past couple of decades has transformed hundreds of millions of lives – almost entirely for the better. But
there’s a byproduct to that growth, one that’s evident – or sometimes less than evident – in the smoggy,
smelly skies above cities like Beijing, New Delhi and Jakarta. Thanks to new cars and power plants, air
pollution is bad and getting worse in much of the world, and it’s taking a major toll on global health.
How big? According to a new analysis published in the Lancet, more than 3.2 million people
suffered deaths from air pollution in 2010, the largest number on record. That’s up from 800,000 in 2000.
And it’s a regional problem: 65% of those deaths occurred in Asia, where the air is choked by diesel soot

from cars and trucks, as well as the song from power plants and the dust from endless urban construction.
In East Asia and China, 1.2 million people died, as well as another 712,000 in South Asia, including
India. For the first time ever, air pollution is on the world’s top – 10 list of killers, and it’s moving up the
ranks faster than any other factor.
So how can air pollution be so damaging? It is the very finest soot – so small that it roots deep
within the lungs and then enters the bloodstream – that contributes to most of the public – health toll of
air pollution including death. Diesel soot, which can also cause cancer, is a major problem because it is
concentrated in cities along transportation zones affecting overpopulated areas. It is thought to contribute
to half the deaths from air pollution in urban centers. For example, 1 in 6 people in the U.S. live near a
diesel – pollution hot spot like a rail yard, port terminal or freeway.
We also know that air pollution may be linked to other non-deadly diseases. Fortunately in the U.S.
and other developed nations, urban air is for the most part cleaner than it was 30 or 40 years ago, thanks
to regulations and new technologies like the catalytic converters that reduce automobile emissions.
Govemments are also pushing to make air cleaner – see the White House’s move last week to further
tighten soot standards. It’s not perfect, but we’ve had much more success dealing with air pollution than
climate change.
Will developing nations like India eventually catch up? Hopefully – though the problem may get
worse before it gets better. The good news is that it doesn’t take a major technological advance to
improve urban air. Switching from diesel fuel to unleaded helps, as do newer and cleaner cars which are
less likely to send out pollutants. Power plants – even ones that burn mineral fuels like coal – can be
fitted with pollution – control equipment that, at a price, will greatly reduce smog and other pollutants.
But the best solutions may involve urban design. In the Guardian, John Vidal notes that Delhi now
has 200 cars per 1,000 people, far more than much richer Asian cities like Hong Kong and Singapore.

Developing cities will almost certainly see an increase in car ownership as residents become wealthier –
and that doesn’t have to mean deadly air pollution. Higher incomes should also lead to tougher
environmental regulations, which is exactly what happened in the West. We can only hope it happens
before the death toll from bad air gets even higher.
(Source: by Bryan Walsh)
Question 43: What tends to give rise to the highest death toll according to the passage?
A. The lack of tight environmental protection standards.
B. The world’s serious air pollution such as soot and dust.
C. The increasing numbers of the diesel cars and trucks.
D. The frighteningly high death rate from deadly cancer.
Question 44: The phrase “taking a major toll” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. making it possible

B. creating motivation

C. having a bad effect

D. leading to danger

Question 45: All of the following statements are true according to the passage EXCEPT _______.
A. The report found that the number of people suffering deaths from air pollution in 2010 is greater than
that in 2000.
B. The tightening of the emission standards has helped people solve some of the immediate
environmental problems, for example, tackle air pollution.
C. Many efforts have been put into the reduction of the emission of pollutants through the tightening of
legislation on new vehicles.

D. Air pollution may have been responsible for our mental health problems and prematurely robbed us
of our lives.
Question 46: According to the passage, which of the following is an example of measure taken to help
generate less emissions?
A. Catalytic converters are applied to exhaust systems in automobiles.
B. People increase the use of vehicles powered by mineral fuels.
C. Many nations encourage people to avoid densely populated areas.
D. The government minimizes the number of people using car in major cities.
Question 47: The word “byproduct” in paragraph 1 most probably refers to ______.
A. consequence

B. solution

C. reform

D. design

Question 48: The basic reason why so many people die from air pollution is that ______.

B. the diesel soot is much too poisonous to breathe

A. the global economic growth is mainly to blame for air pollution and climate change
B. the developing countries are repeating the same mistakes as the developed ones made
C. the ecological situation and air pollution in India are becoming worse and worse
D. the unbeatable air is increasingly becoming a major killer throughout the world
Question 50: By describing urban design as “the best solutions” in the last paragraph, the writer means
that ______.
A. the making of tougher environmental regulations alone is of little use
B. more sever regulations should be made to handle air pollution
C. the urban construction in western developed countries is the best choice
D. the pace of development has to be slowed down to reduce air pollution

Many people have forgotten what the world was like before TV. But today it has become an
integral part of our lives. No medium can compare with TV as a means of information, entertainment and
education. TV now plays such an important role in so many people’s lives that it is essential for us to try
to decide (36)_______ it is bad or good.
First of all, TV is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a (37)_______ cheap one.
For a family of 4, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home than to

go out. They don’t have to pay for expensive tickets. All they have to do is to turn on TV and they can
see films, political discussions and the latest exciting football matches. Some people say that this is fist
where the danger lies. The TV viewers need do nothing: they (38)______ no choices, they’re completely
passive and don’t even use their legs.
TV, people often say, informs about current events and the latest developments in science and
politics. A lot of good films, music programs have appeared recently on TV. (39)_______ here again
there is a danger. We get to like watching TV so much that it begins to dominate our lives. A friend of
mine told me that when his TV set broke he and his family suddenly found that they had much more time
to do things.
The most important thing which is really criticizing is poor quality of the programs and its harmful
effect on children. For example the film “Natural Born Killers” teaches children to kill and there was one
accident in France when a group of teenagers kill their parents.
There are many arguments for and against TV. I think we must understand that TV in itself is
neither good (40)______ bad. TV is as good or as bad as we make it.

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 41 to 45.
A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s
sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off - if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin, which has been proven to
help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk
powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and
less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in
The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now,
taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the
calcium content, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best
choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden
you will put on your body at night.

Question 43: What can be a suitable title for the text?

In modern society, receiving systematic college education seems a necessary way for success as a
graduate from first-class university may always get more opportunities than others. However, if it is gold,
it will shine one day. In this article, we will get to know three most successful people in U.S. who never
finished their college education. Following experiences of these successful dropouts may give you some
inspiration.
1. Bill Gates
Harvard’s campus paper “Harvard Crimson” called Bill Gates “Harvard’s most successful

dropout”, while the rest of the world preferred to name him “the world’s richest man” for more than a
decade. Now, even not on the top, he is still among the list of the world’s wealthiest people. Gates
entered Harvard in the fall of 1973. Two years later, he dropped out to found Microsoft with friend Paul
Allen. And in 2007, he finally received an honorary doctorate from Harvard.
2. Steve Jobs
The iPad, even Buzz Lightyear probably wouldn’t have existed if Steve Jobs stayed in school.
Because his family couldn’t afford his college education, Jobs had to drop out of Reed College just after
entering for 6 months. Then he found Apple, NeXT Computer and Pixar, which had made great
influences on development of modern technique and culture. However, this wizard thought that his brief
college education was not worthless.
3. Frank Lloyd Wright
As the America’s most celebrated architect, Wright spent more time on designing colleges rather
than attending classes in them. Once spent one year in the University of Wisconsin-Madison, then he left
for Chicago and started to learn from Louis Sullivan, the “father of modernism.” Wright’ s splendid
resume included more than 500 works, most famous of which are Fallingwater and New York City's
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
(Source: />Question 46: What does “dropouts” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Hardworking students.

B. Very successful students.

C. Students failing to finish their school education.

D. Students from poor families.

Question 47: Which of the following is right according to Paragraph 1?
A. People graduating from famous universities are more likely to get jobs.
B. Many successful people had the experience of giving up their school education.
C. If one has a lot of gold, he will become very rich one day.
D. We should stop our college education to follow in those successful people’s steps.

Global emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning jumped by the largest amount on
record in 2010. Emissions rose 5.9 percent in 2010, according to an analysis released on Sunday by the
Global Carbon Project.
Scientists said the increase was almost certainly the largest absolute jump in any year since the
Industrial Revolution. The increase solidified a trend of ever-rising emissions that will make it difficult, if
not impossible, to stop severe climate change in coming decades.
The burning of coal represented more than half of the growth in emissions, the analysis found. In
the United States, emissions dropped by a remarkable 7 percent in the year of 2009, but rose by over 4
percent in 2010, the new analysis shows.
“Each year, emissions go up, and there’s another year of negotiations, another year of indecision,”
said Glen P. Peters, a researcher at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research.
“There’s no evidence that this path we’ve been following in the last 10 years is going to change.”
Scientists say the rapid growth of emissions is warming the Earth and putting human welfare at

long-term risk. But their increasingly urgent pleas that society find a way to limit emissions have met
sharp political resistance in many countries because doing so would involve higher energy costs.
The new figures show a continuation of a trend in which developing countries have surpassed the
wealthy countries in their overall greenhouse emissions. In 2010, the burning of fossil fuels and the
production of cement sent more than nine billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, the new analysis
found, with 57 percent of that coming from developing countries.
On the surface, the figures of recent years suggest that wealthy countries have made headway in
stabilizing their emissions. But Dr. Peters pointed out that, in a sense, the rich countries have simply
exported some of them.
The fast rise in developing countries has been caused to a large extent by the growth of energyintensive manufacturing industries that make goods that rich countries import. “All that has changed is
the location in which the emissions are being produced,” Dr. Peters said.
Many countries, as part of their response to the economic crisis, invested billions in programs
designed to make their energy systems greener. While it is possible, the new numbers suggest they have
had little effect so far.
