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.
FIRST TIME IN THE AIR
When John Mills was going to fly in an aeroplane for the first time, he was frightened. He did not
like the idea of being thousands of feet up in the air. “ ‘I also didn’t like the fact that I wouldn’t be
in control,” says John. “I’m a terrible passenger in the car. When somebody else is driving, I tell
them what to so. It drives everybody crazy.”
However John couldn’t avoid flying any longer. It was the only way he could visit his
grandchildren in Canada. “I had made up my mind that I was going to do it, I couldn’t let my son,
his wife and their three children travel all the way here to visit me. It would be so expensive for

them and I know Tom’s business isn’t doing so well at the moment – it would also be tiring for
the children – it’s a nine-hour flight!” he says.
To get ready for the flight John did lots of reading about aeroplanes. When he booked his seat, he
was told that he would be flying on a Boeing 747, which is better known as a jumbo jet. “I needed
to know as much as possible before getting in that plane. I suppose it was a way of making myself
feel better. The Boeing 747 is the largest passenger aircraft in the world at the moment. The first
one flew on February 9th 1969 in the USA. It can carry up to 524 passengers and 3.400 pieces of
luggage. The fuel for aeroplanes is kept in the wings and the 747’s wings are so big that they can
carry enough fuel for an average car to be able to travel 16,000 kilometres a year for 70 years.
Isn’t that unbelievable? Even though I had discovered all this very interesting information about
the jumbo, when I saw it for the first time, just before I was going to travel to Canada, I still
couldn’t believe that something so enormous was going to get up in the air and fly. I was even
more impressed when I saw how big it was inside with hundreds of people!”
The biggest surprise of all for John was the flight itself. “The take-off itself was much smoother
than I expected although I was still quite scared until we were in the air. In the end, I managed to
relax, enjoy the food and watch one of the movies and the view from the window was spectacular.
I even managed to sleep for a while! Of course,” continues John, “the best reward of all was when
I arrived in Canada and saw my son and his family, particularly my beautiful grandchildren.
Suddenly, I felt so silly about all the years when I couldn’t even think of getting on a plane. I had
let my fear of living stop me from seeing the people I love most in the world. I can visit my son
and family as often as I like now!”
Question 20. Why did John Mills fly in an aeroplane?
A. He wanted to go on holiday.
B. He wanted to try it.
C. He wanted to see his family.
D. He had to travel on business.
Question 21. Why did John read about aeroplane?
A. He wanted to know how they work.
B. It was his body.
C. It guaranteed safety.

D. He had found a book on them.
Question 22. What happened when he saw the jumbo jet for the first time?
A. He felt much safer.
B. He liked the shape of it.
C. He was surprised at how big it was.
D. He thought the wings were very small.
Question 23. How did John feel when the aeroplane was taking off?
A. excited
B. happy
C. sad
D. frightened
Question 24. What surprised John most about the flight?
A. that he liked the food
B. that he was able to sleep
C. that there was a movie being shown
D. that the view was good
Question 25. How did John feel about his fears in the end?

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.
Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of
pollution, it is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different
individuals is highly subjective and, therefore, variable. Exposure to lower levels of noise may be
slightly irritating, whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Particularly
in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes
physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed
to it.
Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no
lid, and is, therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection.
Noise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes
accustomed. Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism,
including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict,
the skin pales, and muscles tense. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about
by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some of these responses persist even
longer than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased.
Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding
in the same way that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise
and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and
psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the

heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health
problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of
noise as well. Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they
cry easily, and they are more sensitive to gastrointestinal problems after birth. In addition, the
psychic effect of noise is very important. Nervousness, irritability, tension, and anxiety increase
affecting the quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activities during waking hours, as
well as the way that we interact with each other.
Question 26. Which of the following is the author’s main point?
A. Hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem.
B. Loud noises signal danger.
C. Noise may pose a serious threat to our physical and psychological health.
D. The ear is not like the eye.
Question 27. According to the passage, what is noise?
A. A byproduct of technology
B. Physical and psychological harm
C. Congestion
D. Unwanted sound
Question 28. Why is noise difficult to measure?
A. All people do not respond to it in the same way. B. It causes hearing loss.
C. It is unwanted.
D. People become accustomed to it.
Question 29. The word congested in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by
.
A. hazardous
B. crowded
C. polluted
D. rushed
Question 30. The word it in the first paragraph refers to
.
A. The quality of life

B. our advancing technology
C. the noise
D. physical and psychological harm
Question 31. According to the passage, people respond to loud noises in the same way that they
respond to
.
A. annoyance
B. danger
C. damage
D. disease

or band that made you want to buy the album. You might even know the name of the guitar player
or the drummer. Those talented performers, however, are only some of the people in the music
industry work behind the scenes, but the roles they play in the musical progress are very
important.
Songwriters: Songs begin with the songwriter. Some songwriters work alone, but many work in
teams that combine the talents of a lyricist, who writes the words to songs, and an instrumentalist,
often a piano player or guitarist, who writes the music. Many of today’s pop stars work with
songwriters. For example, some of Lady Gaga’s biggest hits were written by Nadir Khayat, also
known “RedOne”. Some songwriting teams have become very famous, such as Mike Stock, Matt
Aitken, and Pete Waterman, who were responsible for many big 1980s pop hits.
Arrangers: After a song has been written, music arrangers make it more appealing by deciding
which instruments will be used, what tempo, or speed, the song will have, and whether the song
should have a lower or higher pitch. A good arrangement can bring a song to life and make it a
classic.

Studio Musicians: Not every singer or instrumentalist can be a star, and many work in the
background as studio musicians. These artists are not a part of any one musical group. Instead,
they are hired for recording sessions that eventually become the albums you buy, as well as
soundtracks for television shows, movies, and radio ads.
Recording Engineers: Recording engineers also play a major role in creating the final sound that
you hear. First, these engineers set up the recording studio, the room where the performers play,
placing musicians and microphones in exactly the right places to get the best sound. Next, they
use electronic equipment, such multi-track recorders, to capture the music. Finally, long after the
musicians have gone home, recording engineers use a mixing board to balance the melodies and
rhythms of each musician, and sometimes to incorporate special sound effects or additional tracks.
Many people make a living with music. You may not recognize all of their names, but all of them
work together to create the songs you love to listen to.
12. Which piece of equipment is used at the end of the recording process?
A. a multi-track recorder
B. a guitar or piano
C. a mixing board
D. a microphone
13. Which sentence is NOT true about studio musicians?
A. They work in the recording studio.
B. They earn money for each session that they do.
C. They are not as famous as the artists they play for.
D. They usually support or play for the same artist.
14. Which of the following do music arrangers probably NOT do?
A. decide the price of the CD
B. decide how fast or slow a song will be
C. decide which instrument to use
D. decide which pitch to use
15. The word “classic” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
.
A. a traditional song B. a famous song

C. a lively song
D. a modern song
16. Which statement would the author probably agree with?
A. Studio musicians would be more successful as members of one musical group.
B. It is important to buy albums made by performing artists who are not yet famous.
C. Having a famous person sing a song will usually make it successful.
D. People are often unaware of the amount of work that goes into creating music.
17. Why does the author mention Lady Gaga?
A. to give an example of a star who works with a songwriter.
B. to explain why she does not write her own songs.
C. to compare her with other talented songwriters.
D. to persuade readers to buy her music.
18. The article is mainly about
.
A. people who play a background role in creating music
B. pop stars who write the biggest hits

the correct answer to each of the questions.
The Rise of Robots
As kids, our grandparents frequently scared us by talking about how difficult life was when they
were growing up. They mentioned walking miles to school in the snow, or doing hours of manual
labour for little pay. Life has changed greatly since then, and it seems to get easier year by year. In
fact, with the help of robots we soon might have to do much at all. But is this a good thing?
By 2030, it’s estimated that robotics will be a $10 billion business worldwide. Companies are
already starting to integrate them into the workforce. The electronics manufacturer Foxconn is
drawing up plans to launch a factory within the next 10 years that’s completely staffed by robot
workers. Meanwhile, an American company Briggo has invented a robot that serves gourmetquality coffee to customers. With the push of a button it will crush coffee beans, measure exact
quantities of water, and even wave a steam wand to ensure customers get the perfect cream on top.
Unlike human baristas, it can serve multiple drinks at once and work all day and night without a
break.

Robots are also invading our homes. The Rooma is a mini-robot that vacuums rooms
automatically according to a schedule. The Robomow is a device that will cut the grass for you
while you sit in the shade. Then there’s the Nanda clocky, an alarm clock that makes sure that
even the deepest sleepers get up on time. The clock is attached to a pair of wheels, and it will
randomly move around the room. Once you finally catch it, you’re probably too awake to hit the
snooze button. Although these early home robots are somewhat basic, they will likely become
more capable as times goes on.
Although robots certainly help us to eliminate tedious tasks, many people are concerned about a
future filled with robots. Some fear that humanity will start to decline if machines do everything
for us. Others have even warned about the robot rebellion, in which robots become so smart that
they may decide to turn on their masters. These ideas may seem a bit far-fetched, but there are
certainly lots of questions that need to be answered before everyone opens up to the idea of a
robotic future.
21. How is Briggo’s invention superior to human workers?
A. It is more knowledgeable about coffee-making.
B. It is better at conversation.
C. It never has to stop.
D. It can operate machinery.
22. What would happen if you pressed the snooze button?
A. You would have to wake up immediately
B. The alarm clock would turn off forever
C. The alarm would stop, but go off again soon D. Nothing would happen at all
23. Which of the following is NOT true about the concerns over roboties?
A. It takes some time for people to accept robots.
B. Robots may do some harm to humans
C. The idea of robotics may seem far-fetched.
D. Robots may be dominant at the workplace.
24. The word “tedious” in the last paragraph mostly means
.
A. boring

B. difficult
C. intelligent
D. expensive
25. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Some reasons why people don’t accept robots yet.
B. A very amusing science-fiction story about robots.

Southern Thailand was hit Thursday by the most severe haze from forest fires in Indonesia,
forcing all schools in a province to close and disrupting fights in a popular tourist area, officially
said.
The haze that has shrouded parts of Malaysia and Singapore for nearly two months reached
hazardous levels in the southern Thai city of Songkhla, with the pollution index hitting a recordhigh reading of 365. A reading of 101-200 is unhealthy, 201-300 is very unhealthy and above 300
is hazardous.
“This is a crisis,” said Halem Jemarican, head of the Southern Environment Office. He said the
pollution index in southern Thailand has never exceeded 300 before.
Halem said his office has worked with other authorities to have all schools in Songkhla province
send students home and all outdoor sports stadiums to close temporarily. Warnings have been
issued to vulnerable people such as children, the elderly and people with illnesses not to go out of
their homes.
“The wind speed is very low this year in the south, causing haze to stay in our skies longer,”
Halem said by telephone.
An airport official in Hat Yai, a popular tourist area, said three flights bound for Bangkok were
delayed Thursday morning because of the haze. A flight from Bangkok to Hat Yai was diverted to
Surat Thani on Wednesday evening. The official declined to be identified because of working
rules.
Local media reported that cloud seeding has been discussed as a way to dispel the haze in
southern Thailand, which is hundreds of kilometers (miles) from the forest fires in Indonesia's
Sumatra island.
Southern Thailand boasts tropical beaches popular among tourists in Surat Thani and Phuket, two
of the seven provinces suffering from the haze.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate

Marianne Moore (1887-1972) once said that her writing could be called poetry only
because there was no other name for it. Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed
essays that happen to be printed in jagged lines on the page. Her subject were varied: animals,
laborers, artists, and the craft of poetry. From her general reading came quotations that she found

striking or insightful. She included these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotation marks,
and sometimes identified in footnotes. Of this practice, she wrote, " 'Why many quotation marks?'
I am asked ... When a thing has been so well that it could not be said better, why paraphrase
it? Hence, my writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of collection of flies in amber." Close
observation and concentration on detail and the methods of her poetry.
Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St. Lois. After graduation from
Bryn Mawr College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian School in Carlisle,
Pennsylvania. Later she became a librarian in New York City. During the 1920’s she was editor
of The Dial, an important literary magazine of the period. She lived quietly all her life, mostly in
Brooklyn, New York. She spent a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by animals. Her
admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers-before the team moved to Los Angeles-was widely known.
Her first book of poems was published in London in 1921 by a group of friends associated with
the Imagist movement. From that time on her poetry has been read with interest by
succeeding generations of poets and readers. In 1952 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her
Collected Poems. She wrote that she did not write poetry "for money or fame. To earn a living is
needful, but it can be done in routine ways. One writes because one has a burning desire to
objectify what it is indispensable to one's happiness to express
Question 43. The word "succeeding" in line 19 is closest to

A lot of advice is available for college leavers heading for their first job. In this article we
consider the move to a second job. We are not concerned with those looking for a second
temporary position while hunting for a permanent job. Nor are we concerned with those leaving
an unsatisfactory job within the first few weeks. Instead, we will be dealing with those of you
taking a real step on the career ladder, choosing a job to fit in with your ambitions now that you
have learnt your way around, acquired some skills and have some idea of where you want to go.
What sort of job should you look for? Much depends on your long-term aim. You need to ask
yourself whether you want to specialize in a particular field, work your way up to higher levels of
responsibility or out of your current employment into a broader field.
Whatever you decide, you should choose your second job very carefully. You should be aiming to
stay in it for two or three years. This job will be studied very carefully when you send your letter
of application for your next job. It should show evidence of serious career planning. Most
important, it should extend you, develop you and give you increasing responsibility. Incidentally,
if you are interested in traveling, now is the time to pack up and go. You can do temporary work
for a while when you return, pick up where you left off and get the second job then. Future
potential employers will be relieved to see that you have got it out of your system, and are not
likely to go off again.
Juliette Davidson spend her first year after leaving St. Aldate’s College working for three lawyers.
It was the perfect first job in that “ OK ... they were very supportive people. I was gently
introduced to the work, learnt my way around an office and improve my word processing skills.
However, there was no scope for advancement. One day, I gave my notice, bought an air ticket
and traveled for a year.”
Juliette now works as a Personal Assistant to Brenda Cleverdon, the Chief Executive of business
in the Community. “In two and a half years I have become more able and my job has really
grown”, she says. “ Right from the beginning my boss was very keen to develop me. My job title
is the same as it was when I started but the duties have changed. From mainly typing and
telephone work, I have progressed to doing most of the correspondence and budgets. I also have
to deal with a variety of queries, coming from chairmen of large companies to people wanting to
know how to start their own business. Brenda involves me in all her work but also gives me
specific projects to do and events to organize.”

Question 4. Who is intended to benefit from the advice given in the article?
A. students who have just finished their studies
B. people who are unhappy with their current job
C. those who are interested in establishing a career
D. people who change jobs regularly
Question 5. According to the writer, why is the choice of your second job important?
A. It will affect your future job prospects.
B. It will last longer than your first job.

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.
It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has
been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between
schooling and education implied by this remark is important.

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits.
It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on the
tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of
informal learning. The agent (doer) of education can vary from respected grandparents to the
people arguing about politics on the radio , from a child to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling
has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation
with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People
receive education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it is a lifelong
process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary
part of one’s entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little
from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same
time, take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take
exams, and so on. The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an
understanding of the workings of governments, have been limited by the subjects being taught.
For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the
truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmarkers are experimenting
with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
Question 20. In the passage, the expression “children interrupt their education to go to
school” mostly implies that
.
A. schooling prevents people discovering things
B. schooling takes place everywhere
C. all of life is an education
D. education is totally ruined by schooling
Question 21. What does the writer mean by saying “education quite often produces surprises”?
A. Educators often produce surprises.
B. Informal learning often brings about unexpected results.
C. Success of informal learning is predictable.
D. It’s surprising that we know little about other religions.

Question 22. Which of the following would the writer support?
A. Without formal education, people won’t be able to read and write.
B. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.
C. Schooling is of no use because students do similar things every day. D.
Our education system needs to be changed as soon as possible. Question
23. According to the passage, the doers of education are
.
A. only respected grandparents
B. mostly famous scientists
C. mainly politicians
D. almost all people
Question 24. Which of the following is TRUE according to passage?

HOW TO AVOID MISCOMMUNICATION IN THE WORKPLACE
As a small-business owner, you can avoid many problems simply by improving communication in
your office. By clarifying everyone's expectations and roles, you'll help to (30)
greater
trust and increase productivity among employees. Here are a few tips for doing so.
Practice active listening. The art of active listening includes (31)
close attention to what
another person is saying, then paraphrasing what you've heard and repeating it back. Concentrate
(32)
the conversation at hand and avoid unwanted interruptions (cell phone calls, others
walking into your office, etc.). Take note of how your own experience and values may color your

comes with a host of non-verbal cues - facial expressions, body language, etc. - that may

contradict what we're saying. Before addressing a staff member or (34)
a
project conference, think carefully about your tone of voice, how you make eye contact, and what
your body is "saying." Be consistent throughout.
Be clear and to the point. Don't cloud instructions or requests with irrelevant details, such as
problems with past projects or issues with long-departed personnel. State what you need and what
you expect. Ask, "Does anyone have any questions?" Demonstrate that you prefer questions upfront as opposed to misinterpretation later on.

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.
The cause of tooth decay is acid, which is produced by bacteria in the mouth. The acid removes
minerals from tooth enamel, allowing tooth decay to begin; the saliva in your mouth encourages
remineralization and neutralizes the acid. The rate at which bacteria in the mouth produce acid
depends on the amount of plaque on the teeth, the composition of the microbial flora, and whether
the bacteria of the plaque have been "primed" by frequent exposure to sugar. To keep your teeth
healthy, a regular dental hygiene program should be followed.
Removing plaque with a toothbrush and dental floss temporarily reduces the numbers of bacteria
in the mouth and thus reduces tooth decay. It also makes the surfaces of the teeth more accessible,
enabling saliva to neutralize acid and remineralize lesions. If fluoride is present in drinking water
when teeth are forming, some fluoride is incorporated into the enamel of the teeth, making them
more resistant to attack by acid. Fluoride toothpaste seems to act in another way, by promoting the
remineralization of early carious lesions.
In addition to a regular dental hygiene program, a good way to keep your teeth healthy is to
reduce your intake of sweet food. The least cavity-causing way to eat sweets is to have them with
meals and not between. The number of times you eat sweets rather than the total amount
determines how much harmful acid the bacteria in your saliva produce. But the amount of sweets
influences the quality of your saliva. Avoid, if you can, sticky sweets that stay in your mouth a
long time. Also try to brush and floss your teeth after eating sugary foods. Even rinsing your
mouth with water is effective. Whenever possible, eat foods with fiber, such as raw carrot sticks,
apples, celery sticks, etc., that scrape off plaque, acting as a toothbrush. Cavities can be greatly
reduced if these rules are followed when eating sweets.
34. What does this passage mainly discuss?
A. Good nutrition
B. Food with fiber
C. Ways to keep your teeth healthy
D. Fluoridization and cavities
35. The word “it” refers to
.

A. dental floss
B. bacteria
C. removal of plaque D. plaque
36. According to the passage, all of the following statements about plaque are true EXCEPT
.
A. It consists of acid producing bacteria
B. It is not affected by eating sweets
C. It can be removed from teeth by brushing and flossing
D. It reduces the positive effect of saliva
37. We can infer from the passage that one benefit of fluoride to healthy teeth is
_.
A. It strengthens tooth enamel
B. It stimulates saliva production
C. It makes teeth whiter
D. It is a replacement for brushing and flossing in dental care
38. What can be concluded from the passage about sweets?
A. All sweets should be avoided.
B. Sweets should be eaten with care.
C. It is better to eat sweets a little at a time throughout the day.
D. Sticky sweets are less harmful than other sweets.
39. The author of the passage states that the amount of acid produced by the bacteria in your
saliva increases
.
A. with the amount of sweets you eat
B. with the number of times you eat sweets
C. if you eat sweets with your meals
D. if you eat sticky sweets
40. The word "scrape off" is closest in meaning to
