C1. The main elements required for survival are food, fire, shelter and water. Their
order of importance will depend upon where you happen to be. In the desert, water will
head the list.Water is the most common liquid on Earth. It covers about 71.4% of the
Earth. Pure water has no smell, taste, or color. Water is the main component of drinks
like milk, juice, and wine. Water is very important for life but it is something that most
people in the modern world take for granted. They are so used to turning on a tap that
until an extreme drought causes water rationing they seldom think about it. Yet the
survivor at sea, or after a flood, though surrounded by water, may be desperate for
drinkable water. And there are many places where, unless it rains, no obvious water is
available. Although there could be other survival necessities to deal with, water is
always universally important.
Read the passage and answer the following multiple-choice:
1. The factor which decides the order of importance or the main elements required for
survival is:
A. your health.

C2.Solar collectors absorb heat from the sun’s rays. They can be used to effectively
heat and cool buildings. The most common type of collector for space heating is a flat
plate designed to absorb both radiation falling directly on it, as well as radiation
scattered by the atmosphere. Collectors are usually panels of aluminum, copper, or
steel. The collector is covered with glass or plastic. This layer allows short-wave
radiation or light to enter the collector. As the radiation passes through the glass or
plastic, it is transformed from short-wave radiation to long-wave radiation – or heat.
A transfer agent (air or water) is circulated through the collector and becomes heated.
As it leaves the collector and travels through the heating ducts of a house, it warms
the air inside the house or brings hot water to sinks, tubs, and appliances. With solar
collectors, storage is a problem: great amounts of heat must be stored for nighttime
use and for use during cloudy days.

C3. When you visit a supermarket you probably think you know exactly what you are
going to buy, but the truth is you are very easily persuaded. Over half the decisions
you make are made suddenly, on impulse, while you are inside the store, so it is
important that a product is displayed in an eye-catching position if it is to have any
chance of success. Today’s supermarkets invest millions of pounds in powerful
computer, which tell them what product sells best and where. “Space management”
is the name given to a highly complicated way of influencing the way we shop to
make sure that stores make the maximum profit. You walk into a supermarket. You
pull out a trolley and stare up and down row after row of packed shelves. You step
out into the aisles. You are faced with possibly the widest choice of food and drink in
the world. But over the next hour or so, you will shop in a completely predictable way.


This is what the space management teams who work for supermarkets have found out.
They believe that everything depends on the following rules about our behavior in
supermarket.
Read the passage and answer the following multiple-choice:
1. Today, supermarkets invest millions of pounds in
A. marketing

C4.Fires play an important role in the natural changes that occur in Earth's ecosystems.
The diversity of plant and animal life in the world's forests, prairies, and wetlands is
(partly) dependent on the effects of fire.It results when matter burns beyond its
combustion point and it releases energy in form of heat energy.Fire has been important
for the survival of man in the following ways. Firstly, fire is used for cooking food.Most
of the food we eat is usually cooked. Eating raw food has been in the decrease due to
health concerns. Secondly, fire is used for boiling water. Water is another important part
of our life. Most of the water sources like rivers are not protected and this creates
chances of water contamination. Boiling, instead of use of chemicals in water treatment
will save you the side effects which come along with excessive use of chemicals. For
many other reasons, fire is important to human’s life.

C5. In the 16th century, Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the
world. As a young Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal. After he was
dismissed from service by the king of Portugal, he offered to serve the future Emperor
Charles V of Spain. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five
ships. More than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography of
South America in search of a water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the
remaining four ships searched along the southern peninsula of South America. Finally,
they found the passage they sought near 50 degrees S latitude. Magellan named this
passage the Strait of All Saints, but today it is known as the Strait of Magellan.Later,
Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in
a tribal battle. Only one ship and 17 sailors under the command of the Basque
navigator Elcano survived to complete the westward journey to Spain and thus prove
once and for all that the world is round, with no precipice at the edge.

C6.Marie Curie, who was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, was one of the most
accomplished scientists in history. At an early age, she displayed a brilliant
mind.Marie was fortunate to have studied at the Sorbonne with some of the greatest
scientists of her day, one of whom was Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre were married

in 1895 and spent many productive years working together in the physics laboratory.
A short time after they discovered radium, Pierre was killed by a horse-drawn wagon
in 1906. Marie was so depressed. The fact that she had two young daughters to raise
by herself greatly increased her distress.Curie's feeling of desolation finally began to
fade when she was asked to succeed her husband as a physics professor at the
Sorbonne. She was the first woman to be given a professorship at the world-famous
university. In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for isolating radium.
Although Marie Curie eventually suffered a fatal illness from her long exposure to
radium, she never became disillusioned about her work. Regardless of the
consequences, she had dedicated herself to science and to revealing the mysteries of
the physical world.

C7.Many great inventions are initially greeted with disbelief. The invention of the
airplane was no exception. Although many people who heard about the first powered
flight on December 17, 1903 were excited and impressed, others reacted with peals
of laughter. The idea of flying an aircraft was repulsive to some people. Such people
called Wilbur and Orville Wright, the inventors of the first flying machine, impulsive
fools. Negative reactions; however, did not stop the Wrights. In 1900 and 1901, the
Wrights tested numerous gliders and developed control techniques. In 1903 the
Wrights built their first airplane, which cost less than $1,000. When they started the
engine on December 17, the airplane pulsated wildly before taking off. The plane

managed to stay aloft for 12 seconds, however, and it flew 120 feet. By 1905, the
Wrights were successful. They created the first airplane that could turn, circle, and
remain airborne for half an hour at a time. This was the first plane with the full-size
machine that could fly under its own power. As the contributors of one of the most
outstanding engineering achievements in history, the Wright brothers are accurately
called the fathers of aviation.

B. People believe that the Wright brothers are the fathers of aviation.
C. The Wrights spent more $1,000 on building their airplane
D. In 1900 and 1901 the Wrights are successful when building their airplane.

C8. Reading is becoming more and more important in the new knowledge economy
and remains the most effective human activity for transforming information into
knowledge.If top readers read at speeds of above 1000 words per minute (wpm) with
near 85% comprehension, they only represent 1% of readers. Average readers are the
majority and only reach around 200 wpm with a typical comprehension of 60%.The
average reader is five times slower than the good reader. Things are even worse if we
consider reading efficiency as well as speed.There are three possible ways to improve
reading. The fastest is probably a speed reading seminar based upon good materials
and animated by a dynamic instructor.A book about speed reading is the second
possibility. Such a book usually provides speed and comprehension tests as well as
techniques to improve reading.Finally, a speed reading computer program is probably
the most efficient way to achieve top reading levels. This is the task that seminars and
speed-reading books usually leave up to the reader.
Read the passage and answer the following multiple-choice:

1. Compared to average reader, the accomplished reader reads with

A. higher speed and worse reading comprehension
B. higher speed and better reading comprehension
C. higher speed and same reading comprehension

A. A speed reading book

B. A speed reading seminar
C. A speed reading software
D. A speed reading game

C9. There are many reasons to use alternative energy sources. One reason is to reduce
pollutants and greenhouse gases. Alternative or renewable energy sources help to
reduce the amount of toxins that are a result of traditional energy use. These
alternative energy sources help protect against the harmful by-products of energy use
and help to preserve many of the natural resources that we currently use as energy
sources. There are many alternative energy sources: wind power, solar power,
geothermal power, and hydroelectric power are some examples. Wind power is the
ability to capture the wind in a way to propel the blades of wind turbines. When the
blades rotate, this movement is switched into electrical current with the help of an
electrical generator. In older windmills, wind energy turned mechanical machinery to
do the physical work like crushing grain to make bread or pumping water to get water.
Wind towers are built on wind farms, and usually there are several towers built
together. Wind towers are built on windfarms, and usually there are several towers
built together. In 2005, the worldwide use of wind-powered generators was less than
1% of all of the electricity use combined.

C. 99%
D. 5%
5. The word “propel” in line 8 means that
A. move
C. remove

in 2005.

B. delete
D. eliminate

C10. Solar energy is an important source of renewable energy and its technologies

are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on how
they capture and distribute solar energy or convert it into solar power. It is used for
heating, cooking, making electricity, and even taking salt out of saltwater so the water
can be drinkable and used for additional purposes that do not need the salt. Solar
power uses sunlight that hits the solar thermal panels to convert the sunlight to heat
either air or water. Other methods of using solar power include simply opening up
blinds or shades and letting the sunlight pass into the room or using some type of
mirror to eat water and produce steam. One advantage of solar power is that it is
renewable. As long as there is sunlight, you will be able to harness the power from it.
There is also no pollution and it can be used efficiently to heat and light things. You
can see the benefits of solar energy in heating swimming pools, spas, and water tanks
in many cities across the country.

C. renewable

B. creating electricity
D. simple

5. The benefits of solar energy show in
A. spas
B. water tanks
C. swimming pools D. All of the above


C11. Geothermal means ‘earth heat’. Geothermal energy is heat energy is generated
and stored in the Earth. Hot rocks under the ground help to heat water to produce
steam. If holes are dug in this area of the ground, then the steam shoots up and is
purified and used to drive turbines, which in turn gives power to electric
generators.Thermal energy determines the temperature of matter. The geothermal
energy of the Earth's crust originates from the original formation of the planet and
from radioactive decay of materials. The advantages of this type of energy is that there
are no harmful by-products, it is self-sufficient once the geothermal plant is built, and
the plants are generally small so there is no negative visual effect on the area
surrounding the plant.The geothermal gradient, which is the difference in temperature
between the core of the planet and its surface, drives a continuous conduction of
thermal energy in the form of heat from the core to the surface.

Read the passage and answer the following multiple-choice:
1. “Earth heat” refers to
A. Heat energy is generated in the Earth
B. Heat energy is stored in the Earth

except
A. no harmful by-products
B. easy to build
C. no negative effect on the area surrounding the plant
D. self-sufficient

geothermal

energy

4. The geothermal gradient is
A. the same as temperature between the core of the planet and its surface.
B. different with temperature between the core of the planet and its surface.
C. dependent on the environment
D. dependent on the gravity of the Earth
5. People believe that

helps to heat water to produce steam.

A. gravity
C. hot rocks

B. radium
D. turbines

C12. Hydroelectric energy comes from the potential energy of water that is dammed
up supplies energy to a water turbine and generator. Another example of hydroelectric
energy is to make use of tidal power. Today, electric generators can be powered by
hydro-power that can run backwards as a motor to pump water for later use. An
advantage is that you can control the use of the energy by controlling the water. You
can also generate water all the time as there are no outside forces that prevent this
from happening. Furthermore, there is no pollution in using this type of energy. In
fact, you can reuse the water that is used for hydroelectric power. The disadvantages
are that dams are expensive to build and maintain. There also needs to be a powerful
enough supply of water in the area to produce energy.

5. Which of the following could best describe the author’s attitude in the passage?
A. objective
B. negative


C. sarcastic

D. sympathetic

C13. A job, or occupation, is a person's role in society. More specifically, a job is an
activity, often regular and often performed in exchange for payment for a living.
Many people have multiple jobs (e.g., parent, homemaker, and employee). An activity
that requires a person's mental or physical effort is work (as in ‘a day's work’). The
two may differ in that one usually retires from their career, versus resignation or
termination from a job.Most people spend up to forty or more hours each week in paid
employment. Jobs can be categorized as paid or unpaid. Examples of unpaid jobs
include volunteer, homemaker, mentor, student, and sometimes intern.Jobs can be
categorized by the level of experience required: entry level, intern, and co-op.Some
jobs require specific training or an academic degree.Those without paid full-time
employment may be categorized as unemployed or underemployed if they are seeking
a full-time paid job.

C14.If standard of living is your number one objective, quality of life almost never
improves. But if quality of life is your number one objective, standard of living
invariably improves. Life can be overwhelming.The tough times can seem
overbearing. Usually, we want to throw our hands up in silent resignation and utter
the words, ‘I give up’. However, you can improve the quality of your life by making
a few small adjustments to your routines by altering your behavior and your way of


thinking. And keep in mind that you’re not alone; we all go through long periods of
frustration, anxiety, fear, upset, and worry.It’s not difficult to overcome some of our
natural tendencies to slip into a state of marginal depression. Sometimes, life doesn’t
turn out the way we want it to. By improving our habits, we can improve the quality
of our lives on multiple spectrums.

C15. Quality of life, as defined here, is the sum total of your health, happiness, vitality,
leisure, and income. This formulaic approach helps to paint a better picture of the
overall quality that people are subjected to. Yet, many people simply define their
quality of life by the amount of money they have. Now, money does make the world
go round. People with access to money and resources can most certainly improve
many areas of their lives. But studies proved that those same people aren’t statistically
that much happier. An increase in income only equates to a temporary improvement
of happiness. Eventually, happiness levels baseline again. Think about it in your past.
Maybe you received promotion you were hoping for or you landed a dream job. For
a short period, you were happy. But it was fleeting. Happiness doesn’t last forever
when it comes to monetary gains, and it’s not the full picture. While money does give
you access to ‘things,’ there’s a reason why the saying ‘The best things in life are
free,’ exists.

C16. In 1971, 2 behavioral psychologists, Donald T. Campbell and Phillip Brickman,
coined the term, ‘Hedonic Treadmill,’ also known as ‘Hedonic Adaptation.’ The term
makes reference to the natural tendencies for humans to revert back to a set point of

happiness after major changes – either positive or negative – to their lives. The
Hedonic Set Point, then, is a baseline of happiness that we all have, which we tend to
revert to, even after things like a traumatic event or a major windfall of cash through
say a lottery winning. In a study published by Campbell and Brickman, they showed
that both lottery winners and paraplegics all returned to a baseline level of happiness
some time after the event. They further argue that we all have a baseline Hedonic Set
Point, which is determined through hereditary means and experiential knowledge.
And, although the baseline level of happiness might be different for everyone, the
concept is very important to understanding the root of happiness and improving the
quality of your life.

C20.What is Diet? In the simplest terms, your diet is what you eat. Any diet consists
of two main aspects: what you eat and how much of it? To maintain a healthy weight,
medical and nutritional authorities have prepared a nutrition food chart that gives the
list of foods that are essential for the body as well as the amount of nutrients that we
need to consume in order to remain healthy. When you are trying to lose weight or
maintain a healthy weight, it is important that you give due consideration to both the
quality and the quantity of your diet. The importance of food and nutrition cannot be
stressed enough. Our bodies are made up of various cells and organs. All of these
require nutrition in order to function normally. The importance of nutrition can be
assessed by the simple fact that if we do not get proper nutrition, the body begins to
wear out and shows signs of neglect. The importance of food in health simply cannot
be stressed enough. There is an age old adage that says ‘you are what you eat’. This
is indeed true. Your body constitution changes when you change your diet. Food not
only impacts our physical appearance and our physical health but also the way we
