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.
We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and
experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact
that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can
be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total
personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value
personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with the personal problems as well as learning
how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as
well as from the teachers.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes the work on individual tasks and assignments, they can do this at their own
speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we
teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced works; it does not matter
what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain
this goal.

D. Pupils cannot develop in the best way if they are streamed into classes of different intellectual abilities

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.
Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun. It is well placed for observation
for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief
periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter's less than 10 hour rotation period gives it the shortest day in the solar system in so far
as the principal planets are concerned. There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular
of the orbital plane is only just over 3° less than that for any other planet.
The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. It has shown variations in both intensity and colour, and at times it
has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years. At its greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometres long and 14,000
kilometres wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth. Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts
about in longitude.

Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200°. The latitude is generally very close
to -22°, It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter's outer gas. However, the
Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its
longevity may well due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent.
Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted.

A. Earth
B. Venus
C. Jupiter
D. Mars

A. Jupiter is bigger than all the other planets in the solar system.

C. The Red Great Spot moves more vertically than horizontally.
D. Scientists have proof showing that smaller red spots are increasing other Great Red Spots.
Question 31: The word "it" can be refered to......
A. intensity
B. Jupiter
C. Great Red Spot
D. colour
Question 32: It can be inferred from the passage that......
A. there are other stuctures on Jupiter that has the same size as the Great Red Spot
B. there are times when Great Red Spot cannot be observed from the earth
C. a day on Earth is shorter than a day on Jupiter
D. the Great Red Spot is the only stucture on Jupiter
Question 33: According to the passage, Great Red Spot......
A. is as big as the Earth
B. has different colours

C. is a solid structure floaring in the air

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.
Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun. It is well placed for observation
for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief
periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter's less than 10 hour rotation period gives it the shortest day in the solar system in so far


as the principal planets are concerned. There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular
of the orbital plane is only just over 3° less than that for any other planet.
The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. It has shown variations in both intensity and colour, and at times it
has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years. At its greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometres long and 14,000
kilometres wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth. Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts
about in longitude.

Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200°. The latitude is generally very close
to -22°, It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter's outer gas. However, the
Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its
longevity may well due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent.
Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted.
Question 23: It can be inferred from the passage that......
A. the Great Red Spot is the only stucture on Jupiter
B. there are times when Great Red Spot cannot be observed from the earth
C. a day on Earth is shorter than a day on Jupiter
D. there are other stuctures on Jupiter that has the same size as the Great Red Spot
Question 24: According to the passage, which planet typically shines the most brightly?
A. Venus
B. Earth
C. Jupiter
D. Mars
Question 25: The word "exceptional" mostly means.......
A. temporary
B. extreme
C. sustainable
D. infrequent
Question 26: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Jupiter is bigger than all the other planets in the solar system.
B. Scientists have proof showing that smaller red spots are increasing other Great Red Spots.
C. A day in Jupiter is nearly 10 hours long.
D. The Red Great Spot moves more vertically than horizontally.
Question 27: The passage was probably taken from.......
A. a geology magazine B. an art journal
C. a high school textbook
D. an archaeology
Question 28: According to the passage, Great Red Spot......

A. is as big as the Earth
B. has different colours
C. has increased its size over the years
D. is a solid structure floaring in the air
Question 29: The word "it" can be refered to......
A. Jupiter
B. Great Red Spot
C. intensity
D. colour

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.
We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and
experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact
that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can

be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total
personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value
personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with the personal problems as well as learning
how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as
well as from the teachers.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes the work on individual tasks and assignments, they can do this at their own
speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we
teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced works; it does not matter
what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain
this goal.

Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200°. The latitude is generally very close
to -22°, It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter's outer gas. However, the
Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its
longevity may well due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent.
Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted.

A. intensity
B. Jupiter

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.
Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun. It is well placed for observation
for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief
periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter's less than 10 hour rotation period gives it the shortest day in the solar system in so far


as the principal planets are concerned. There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular
of the orbital plane is only just over 3° less than that for any other planet.
The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. It has shown variations in both intensity and colour, and at times it
has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years. At its greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometres long and 14,000
kilometres wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth. Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts
about in longitude.
Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200°. The latitude is generally very close
to -22°, It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter's outer gas. However, the
Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its
longevity may well due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent.
Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted.
Question 23: It can be inferred from the passage that......
A. the Great Red Spot is the only stucture on Jupiter
B. there are times when Great Red Spot cannot be observed from the earth
C. a day on Earth is shorter than a day on Jupiter

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.
We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and
experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact
that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can
be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total
personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value
personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with the personal problems as well as learning
how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as
well as from the teachers.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes the work on individual tasks and assignments, they can do this at their own
speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we
teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced works; it does not matter
what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain

this goal.

Question 35: The author's purpose of writing this passage is to.......
A. recommend pair work and group work classroom activities
B. emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching
C. offer advice on the proper use of the school library
D. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class

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.
Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun. It is well placed for observation
for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief
periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter's less than 10 hour rotation period gives it the shortest day in the solar system in so far

as the principal planets are concerned. There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular
of the orbital plane is only just over 3° less than that for any other planet.
The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. It has shown variations in both intensity and colour, and at times it
has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years. At its greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometres long and 14,000
kilometres wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth. Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts
about in longitude.
Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200°. The latitude is generally very close
to -22°, It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter's outer gas. However, the
Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its
longevity may well due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent.
Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted.
