X. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage:
Synchronized swimming is a water sport in which contestants perform choreographed maneuvers set to music.
Synchronized swimming requires agility, grace, timing, musical interpretation, and overall body strength.
Three competitive synchronized swimming events are recognized internationally: solo, duet, and team
(consisting of eight swimmers), although all three events are not always held at each competition. In each event,
synchronized swimmers compete in three categories: figures, technical routine, and free routine. All three
categories are also not always held at each competition.
In the figures competition, swimmers perform 4 of a possible 20 figures, or combinations of movements. A panel
of judges awards points from 0 to 10 based on the accuracy of the performance and the timing, height, stability, and
control of the figures. In the technical routine, the swimmers must perform a set list of elements, or combinations
of figures and swimming Strokes, in a prescribed order. In the free routine, swimmers can create their own
choreography of figures and strokes. In the technical and free routines, which can last from two to five minutes
each, depending on whether they are in solo, duet, or team competition, a panel of judges awards points from 0 to
10 in the categories of technical-merit and artistic impression. Technical merit encompasses the execution,
synchronization, and difficulty of the elements. Artistic impression includes the choreography, musical
interpretation, and manner of presentation of the performance. Routines are enhanced by swimmers' use of original
and expressive movements, patterns, and rhythms. The scores for the figures and the routines are weighted



according to a formula and combined for each competitor to determine the winner.

XI. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage:

Water polo originated in England during the 1870s and soon became popular in the United States. It was first
played in the Olympic Games as a men's exhibition sport in 1900. In 1904 it became a men's medal sport, but only
the United States fielded a team. In 1908 it was contested internationally at the Olympics. Over the succeeding
decades water polo became especially popular in Europe.
From approximately 1920 to 1946 the United States departed from the international rules for water polo by
adopting for play a loosely inflated ball that could be gripped in one hand and carried toward the goal. Opposing
players usually attempted to seize the ballcarriers, wrestle them under water, and render them helpless from loss of
breath. This rough style of play virtually disappeared by 1946. Since that time traditional water polo has grown
rapidly in North America, especially as a college sport. It is particularly popular in southern California and other
parts of the West.
Women have played water polo since the game's early days, but participation was not widespread until the 1960s.
In 1961 United States Water Polo established a national club championship for women. It has hosted one fbr men
since 1890. Women's water polo became an Olympic medal sport at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia.
1. Where did water originate?
A. In Europe.
B. In England.

C. In 1904.
D. In 1908.
3. When did the players the United States follow the same rules as in Europe?
A. In 1920.
B. In 1945.
C. In 1946.
D. In 1960.
4. In what parts of the United States does water polo is very popular at colleges?
A. In the East.

KEY
XII. Read the following passage and then choose the best answer.
The excitement of snorkeling in a clear sea is hard to explain to someone who hasn't done it. If you expect to
have the opportunity of trying it when on holiday, it is well worth bringing a snorkel if you can get hold of one.
Experts now recommend a separate breathing tube.
Many swimmers take a deep breath before diving with a snorkel. This is a mistake, because it makes the body so
light that you dive with difficulty. It is best to take a couple of deep breaths and then a normal relaxed breath in
order to breathe in enough for the dive. Don't take repeated deep breaths before diving because this can lead to a
shortage of oxygen, which causes unconsciousness with warning.
The backs of many snorkellers get badly burnt, for the snorkellers are so involved in the world below they forget
about the dangers of sunburn. The sea does not protect your back from the rays of the sun, and it is best to wear a
T-shirt. Snorkellers should also consider wearing shoes (or slippers), which may protect their feet from cuts from
sharp rocks which can easily become infected.
