Choose the best option A, B, C or D to complete the passage. Mark your choice on the answer sheet.
Saving energy means saving money. Homeowners and renters know this basic fact, but they often don't know what kinds of
adjustments they can make in their homes and apartments that will result in savings.
For those willing to spend some time and money to reap long-term energy savings, an energy audit is the way to go. An
energy auditor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The auditor will pinpoint areas of your home that
use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your energy use and costs. Trained energy auditors know what to look for
and can locate a variety of flaws that may be resulting in energy inefficiency, including inadequate insulation, construction
flaws, and uneven heat distribution.
There are quicker and less costly measures that can be taken as well. One way to save money is to replace incandescent
lights with fluorescents. This can result in a savings of more than 50% on your monthly lighting costs.

When it's time to replace old appliances, it's wise to spend a bit more for an energy-efficient model, and be sure that you are
taking advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer.


Windows provide another opportunity to cut your energy costs. Caulk old windows that might be leaky to prevent drafts,
and choose double-paned windows if you're building an addition or replacing old windows. Most areas of your home or
apartment offer opportunities to save energy and money. The results are significant and are well worth the effort.
Question 36: Which two main organizational schemes can be identified in this passage?
A. order by topic and cause and effect
B. hierarchical order and order by topic
C. chronological order and compare and contrast
D. hierarchical order and chronological order
Question 37: According the passage, double-paned windows......
A. should only be used as replacement windows.
B. are energy efficient.
C. should only be used in new additions to homes.
D. will lower your heating costs by 50%.
Question 38: The word “This” in line 9 refers to......
A. saving money
B. monthly lighting cost
C. quicker and less costly measure
D. incandescent lights with fluorescents being replaced
Question 39: According to the passage, which of the following would an energy auditor NOT do?
A. Check for construction flaws.
B. Locate a variety of flaws that may result in energy inefficiency and fix them.
C. Offer solutions to lower your energy costs.
D. Look for problems with heat distribution.
Question 40: The word “pinpoint” is closest in meaning to......
A. discover the exact position
B. show how to reach

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.
A new British medical instrument is about to change dramatically our ability to recognise disease hidden inside the body. It
is called the magnetic scanner, and it gives information about the body which current machines, such as the brain scanner and
the more recent body scanner, cannot provide. And unlike existing machines, the new machine does not use X-ray radiation
waves, which make it much safer for patients.
Unlike existing scanners, a magnetic scanner can show the side or the back of a suspect part of the body. Used on, for
example, a lung with suspected damage, it can turn the image of the lung to give a series of different views. The image is not
simply worked out in the computer's "imagination": the magnetic scanner actually examines every side of the lung. When
examining the softer part of the body with existing scanners, doctors frequently have to use a "contrast medium" to make a
muscular organ show up to X-ray waves, the usual "contrast-medium" given to patients before a stomach X-ray scan takes
place is harmless, but for some brain scans so that it passes into the brain. This is unpleasant and painful and it can be
dangerous. The magnetic scanner needs no "contrast medium".

The new machine can also see in greater detail than ever before. Growths of all kinds show up clearly on the brain and so
do the dead patches which are the signs of the disease, multiple sclerosis. Until now patients complaining of double vision or
an inability to control their muscles from time to time could be suffering from some much more easily cured disease and a
brain scanner could not distinguish between these with certainty. The doctor can now definitely say whether or not cancer of
multiple sclerosis is present. Previously, these diseases have been missed and patients have been given false information
about their health. The technique is still improving with great speed: pictures produced a couple of years ago look very simple
compared with those of today.
Question 44: What does the new magnetic scanner machine do?
A. It sends waves round the diseased part of the body.
B. It can look right through a diseased part of the body.
C. It uses a computer to "imagine" different views of the body.
D. It looks at a diseased part of the body from all directions.
Question 45: The word “it” in line 10 refers to......
A. The muscular organ B. The brain scan
C. The stomach X-ray
D. The X-ray wave
Question 46: What disadvantage do existing machines have?
A. It is often necessary to use a contrast medium.
B. The contrast recorded are too strong.
C. Patients need an injection before they are used.
D. The X-ray waves are sometimes painful.


Question 47: The machine is useful in identifying the disease multiple sclerosis, because it shows......
A. dark spots in the eyes.
B. damage to muscles.
C. dead areas in the brain.
D. cancer like growths.
Question 48: In what way is the new machine an improvement?
A. The techniques involved can be learned quickly.

B. It can cure some diseases much more easily.
C. It can show all the details of a diseased part of the body.
D. It will never give a double view.
Question 49: "Sclerosis" means......
A. bronchitis.
B. a disease hardening soft parts of the body
C. tuberculosis.
D. a disease that causes indigestion.
Question 50: The word “missed” in live 17 is closest in meaning to......
A. failed to do
B. notied something is lost
C. felt sad because of the absence
D. escaped from doing

Saving energy means saving money. Homeowners and renters know this basic fact, but they often don't know what kinds of
adjustments they can make in their homes and apartments that will result in savings.
For those willing to spend some time and money to reap long-term energy savings, an energy audit is the way to go. An
energy auditor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The auditor will pinpoint areas of your home that
use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your energy use and costs. Trained energy auditors know what to look for
and can locate a variety of flaws that may be resulting in energy inefficiency, including inadequate insulation, construction
flaws, and uneven heat distribution.
There are quicker and less costly measures that can be taken as well. One way to save money is to replace incandescent
lights with fluorescents. This can result in a savings of more than 50% on your monthly lighting costs.
When it's time to replace old appliances, it's wise to spend a bit more for an energy-efficient model, and be sure that you are
taking advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer.
Windows provide another opportunity to cut your energy costs. Caulk old windows that might be leaky to prevent drafts,
and choose double-paned windows if you're building an addition or replacing old windows. Most areas of your home or
apartment offer opportunities to save energy and money. The results are significant and are well worth the effort.

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.
A new British medical instrument is about to change dramatically our ability to recognise disease hidden inside the body. It
is called the magnetic scanner, and it gives information about the body which current machines, such as the brain scanner and
the more recent body scanner, cannot provide. And unlike existing machines, the new machine does not use X-ray radiation
waves, which make it much safer for patients.
Unlike existing scanners, a magnetic scanner can show the side or the back of a suspect part of the body. Used on, for

example, a lung with suspected damage, it can turn the image of the lung to give a series of different views. The image is not
simply worked out in the computer's "imagination": the magnetic scanner actually examines every side of the lung. When
examining the softer part of the body with existing scanners, doctors frequently have to use a "contrast medium" to make a
muscular organ show up to X-ray waves, the usual "contrast-medium" given to patients before a stomach X-ray scan takes
place is harmless, but for some brain scans so that it passes into the brain. This is unpleasant and painful and it can be
dangerous. The magnetic scanner needs no "contrast medium".
The new machine can also see in greater detail than ever before. Growths of all kinds show up clearly on the brain and so
do the dead patches which are the signs of the disease, multiple sclerosis. Until now patients complaining of double vision or
an inability to control their muscles from time to time could be suffering from some much more easily cured disease and a
brain scanner could not distinguish between these with certainty. The doctor can now definitely say whether or not cancer of
multiple sclerosis is present. Previously, these diseases have been missed and patients have been given false information
about their health. The technique is still improving with great speed: pictures produced a couple of years ago look very simple
compared with those of today.
Question 44: What does the new magnetic scanner machine do?
A. It looks at a diseased part of the body from all directions.
B. It can look right through a diseased part of the body.
C. It sends waves round the diseased part of the body.
D. It uses a computer to "imagine" different views of the body.
Question 45: In what way is the new machine an improvement?
A. The techniques involved can be learned quickly.
B. It will never give a double view.
C. It can show all the details of a diseased part of the body.
D. It can cure some diseases much more easily.
Question 46: The word “it” in line 10 refers to......
A. The muscular organ B. The brain scan
C. The X-ray wave
D. The stomach X-ray


Question 47: The machine is useful in identifying the disease multiple sclerosis, because it shows......

A. dead areas in the brain.
B. cancer like growths.
C. damage to muscles.
D. dark spots in the eyes.
Question 48: The word “missed” in live 17 is closest in meaning to......
A. failed to do
B. notied something is lost
C. escaped from doing
D. felt sad because of the absence
Question 49: "Sclerosis" means......
A. bronchitis.
B. tuberculosis.
C. a disease hardening soft parts of the body
D. a disease that causes indigestion.
Question 50: What disadvantage do existing machines have?
A. Patients need an injection before they are used.
B. The X-ray waves are sometimes painful.
C. It is often necessary to use a contrast medium.
D. The contrast recorded are too strong.

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.
A new British medical instrument is about to change dramatically our ability to recognise disease hidden inside the body. It
is called the magnetic scanner, and it gives information about the body which current machines, such as the brain scanner and
the more recent body scanner, cannot provide. And unlike existing machines, the new machine does not use X-ray radiation
waves, which make it much safer for patients.
Unlike existing scanners, a magnetic scanner can show the side or the back of a suspect part of the body. Used on, for
example, a lung with suspected damage, it can turn the image of the lung to give a series of different views. The image is not
simply worked out in the computer's "imagination": the magnetic scanner actually examines every side of the lung. When
examining the softer part of the body with existing scanners, doctors frequently have to use a "contrast medium" to make a
muscular organ show up to X-ray waves, the usual "contrast-medium" given to patients before a stomach X-ray scan takes
place is harmless, but for some brain scans so that it passes into the brain. This is unpleasant and painful and it can be
dangerous. The magnetic scanner needs no "contrast medium".
The new machine can also see in greater detail than ever before. Growths of all kinds show up clearly on the brain and so
do the dead patches which are the signs of the disease, multiple sclerosis. Until now patients complaining of double vision or
an inability to control their muscles from time to time could be suffering from some much more easily cured disease and a
brain scanner could not distinguish between these with certainty. The doctor can now definitely say whether or not cancer of
multiple sclerosis is present. Previously, these diseases have been missed and patients have been given false information

about their health. The technique is still improving with great speed: pictures produced a couple of years ago look very simple
compared with those of today.
Question 17: What does the new magnetic scanner machine do?
A. It sends waves round the diseased part of the body.
B. It looks at a diseased part of the body from all directions.
C. It uses a computer to "imagine" different views of the body.
D. It can look right through a diseased part of the body.
Question 18: The machine is useful in identifying the disease multiple sclerosis, because it shows......
A. cancer like growths.
B. damage to muscles.
C. dead areas in the brain.
D. dark spots in the eyes.
Question 19: In what way is the new machine an improvement?
A. It can cure some diseases much more easily.
B. It can show all the details of a diseased part of the body.
C. It will never give a double view.
D. The techniques involved can be learned quickly.
Question 20: The word “it” in line 10 refers to......
A. The brain scan
B. The muscular organ
C. The stomach X-ray
D. The X-ray wave
Question 21: The word “missed” in live 17 is closest in meaning to......
A. notied something is lost
B. felt sad because of the absence
C. escaped from doing
D. failed to do
Question 22: "Sclerosis" means......

A. bronchitis.
B. tuberculosis.
C. a disease hardening soft parts of the body
D. a disease that causes indigestion.
Question 23: What disadvantage do existing machines have?
A. The X-ray waves are sometimes painful.
B. Patients need an injection before they are used.
C. It is often necessary to use a contrast medium.
D. The contrast recorded are too strong.
Choose the best option A, B, C or D to complete the passage. Mark your choice on the answer sheet.
Saving energy means saving money. Homeowners and renters know this basic fact, but they often don't know what kinds of
adjustments they can make in their homes and apartments that will result in savings.
For those willing to spend some time and money to reap long-term energy savings, an energy audit is the way to go. An
energy auditor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The auditor will pinpoint areas of your home that
use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your energy use and costs. Trained energy auditors know what to look for
and can locate a variety of flaws that may be resulting in energy inefficiency, including inadequate insulation, construction
flaws, and uneven heat distribution.
There are quicker and less costly measures that can be taken as well. One way to save money is to replace incandescent
lights with fluorescents. This can result in a savings of more than 50% on your monthly lighting costs.
When it's time to replace old appliances, it's wise to spend a bit more for an energy-efficient model, and be sure that you are
taking advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer.
Windows provide another opportunity to cut your energy costs. Caulk old windows that might be leaky to prevent drafts,
and choose double-paned windows if you're building an addition or replacing old windows. Most areas of your home or
apartment offer opportunities to save energy and money. The results are significant and are well worth the effort.
Question 24: According to the passage, which of the following would an energy auditor NOT do?
A. Locate a variety of flaws that may result in energy inefficiency and fix them.

The new machine can also see in greater detail than ever before. Growths of all kinds show up clearly on the brain and so
do the dead patches which are the signs of the disease, multiple sclerosis. Until now patients complaining of double vision or
an inability to control their muscles from time to time could be suffering from some much more easily cured disease and a
brain scanner could not distinguish between these with certainty. The doctor can now definitely say whether or not cancer of
multiple sclerosis is present. Previously, these diseases have been missed and patients have been given false information
about their health. The technique is still improving with great speed: pictures produced a couple of years ago look very simple
compared with those of today.
