VI. Read the following passage and choose the item (a, b, c, or d) that best answers each of the questions

The business of tennis clothes has grown astoundingly in the past few years. Over $250 million is spent annually
on the trappings of tennis. Apparently everyone wants to look like a pro, even though 20% of the clientele has
never even played the game.
Manufacturers pays the stars lucrative fees for wearing their brands of clothes and wielding their racquets on
center court. Chris Evert-Lloyd, for example, is rumored to have signed a five-year contract for $5 million with

Ellesse, a producer of fancy, expensive tennis wear. John McEnroe gets a reported $600,000 for playing with a
Dunlop racquet, $330,000 for sporting Tacchini clothes, and $100,000 for tying his Nike tennis shoes.
Obviously, in a bad year, these stars make more as fashion models than as athletes.
Not only tennis players get free clothing, but also all the people involved in the game – the referees, linespeople,
ball boys and girls – are living advertisements for tennis wear producers. Where, traditionally, conservative
white clothing was required for the entire tennis coterie, changing times have seen a new vogue in tennis outfits.


Flamboyant colors, designers’ nameplates, geometric figures, and bold lines distinguish the new tennis togs
from their predecessors.

VI. Read the following passage and choose the item (a, b, c, or d) that best answers each of the questions

Levi Strauss, a young immigrant from Germany, arrived in San Francisco in 1850. California was in the middle
of the Gold Rush. Thousands of men were coming to California to dig for gold. And Strauss came to sell canvas
to these gold miners. Canvas is a heavy fabric. So Strauss thought the miners could use the canvas for tents.
One day Strauss heard a miner complain that he couldn’t find clothes strong enough for the work he was doing.
Strauss got an idea. He quickly took some of his canvas and made it into pants. These pants were what the
miners needed. In one day Strauss sold all the pants he had made.
Straus wanted to improve his pants. He wanted to make them even better. He bought a fabric that was softer
than canvas but just as strong. This fabric came from Nimes, a city in France, and was called sege de Nimes. The
miners like this fabric. They called it “denim” (from de Nimes) and bought even more pants from Strauss.
However, denim had no color. Because of this the denim pants did not look very interesting, and they got dirty
easily. To solve these problems, Strauss dyed the denim blue.
Strauss continued to improve his jeans. Today, the company he started is known around the world. And jeans are
considered not just practical but very fashionable as well.

Lieutenant Ives was one of the first non-Indians to see the canyon. He wrote, "It seems intended by nature that
the Colorado River ... shall be forever unvisited."
In 1869, John Wesley Powell became the first to explore the Grand Canyon. The rapids of the Colorado River
and the narrow, twisting canyon walls were extremely dangerous. Powell set off with ten men and four boats and
emerged, several weeks later, with six men and two boats.
The prediction made by Lieutenant Ives couldn't have been more wrong. Today, millions visit the Grand Canyon
each year. Many come only for a quick look. But for those who want to explore the canyon, there are plenty of
opportunities.

You can explore the canyon by helicopter. Going up and down the canyon sides can be a lot like being on a
roller coaster.
You can hike down to the bottom of the canyon. It's a two-day round trip, and you must bring lots of water.
Once there, you can stay at the Phantom Ranch, which has a campsite and dining hall. If you prefer, you can
make this trip by mule.
On foot or on muleback, you can also reach the village of the Havasupai, at the west end of the canyon.
Finally, you can go rafting on the Colorado River. Because of the danger, if you want to go alone you'll need
permission from the park superintendent. But you can also go with a group on a weeklong rafting and camping
trip. The groups use rafts that are linked together and are too big to tip over. In this way you can enjoy the rapids
without risking your life.
What can be the best title of the passage?
The Amazing Grand Canyon

Lieutenant Ives' Prediction
According to the author, _____.
Lieutenant Ives was the first to see the Grand Canyon
John Wesley Powell explored the Grand Canyon with six men and two boats

According to the passage, how can we explore the canyon?
We can explore the canyon by helicopter.
We can explore the canyon by hiking.

In the context of the paragraph 2, "set off’’ means _____.
to leave on a trip
to cause something to operate
to cause a situation to happen

to arrange for someone to go to a place to do a job
Which of the following is true?
On the canyon sides, there are a lot of roller coasters.
People visit the Grand Canyon each year just for a quick look.
You can go rafting on the Colorado River only when you have the park superintendent's assistance.

VI.
Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant language
of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated
many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066.
Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and hadn't extended even, as far as
Wales, Scotland or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread
around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work.
Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these
communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking
and diplomacy.
Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are non-native
speakers, constituting the largest number of non-native users than any other language in the world.
What is the main topic of the passage?
The number of non-native users of English.
The French influence on the English language.
The expansion of English as an international language.
The use of English for science and technology.
Approximately when did English begin to be used beyond England?

In 1066
Around 1350
Before 1600
After 1600
According to the passage, all of the following contributed to the spread of English around the world except
_____.
the slave trade
the Norman invasion
missionaries
colonization
The word "enclaves" in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by which of the following?
communities
organizations
regions
countries
The word "proliferated" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to which of the following?
prospered
organized
disbanded
expanded
