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 from 3 to 7.
Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote
that it was played “long , long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere
from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the other’s
king, he says in English, “check”. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says “check

mate”. These words come from Persian. “shah mat” means “ the king is dead”. That is the game is over, and
one player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For
example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the
board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game
for all kinds of people. You don’t have to be champion in order to enjoy it. it is not always played by two
people sitting at the same table.The first time of the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by
radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one
man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game
in the world.

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 from 35 to 42.
Fifty-five delegates representing all thirteen states except Rhode Island attended the Constitutional
Convention in Philadelphia from May to September 1787. The delegates had been instructed by the
Continental Congress to revise the old Articles of Confederation, but most believed that a stronger central
government was needed. There were differences, however, about what structure the government should take
and how much influence large states should have.
Virginia was by far the most populous state, with twice as many as people as New York, four times as
many as New Jersey, and ten times as many as Delaware. The leader of the Virginia delegation, James
Madison, had already drawn up a plan for government, which became known as the Large State Plan. Its
essence was that congressional representation would be based on population. It provided for two or more
national executives. The smaller states feared that under this plan, a few large states would lord over the rest.
New Jersey countered with the Small State Plan. It provided for equal representation for all states in a national
legislature and for a single national executive. Angry debate, heightened by a stifling heat wave, led to
deadlock.
A cooling of tempers seemed to come with lower temperatures. The delegates hammered out an
agreement known as the Great Compromise – actually a bundle of shrewd compromises. They decided that
Congress would consist of two houses. The larger states were granted representation based on population in
the lower house, the House of Representatives. The smaller states were given equal representation in the
upper house, the Senate, in which each state would have two senators regardless of population. It was also
agreed that there would be a single executive, the president. This critical compromise broke the logjam, and
from then on, success seemed within reach.
Question 35 . What is the main topic of this passage?
A. James Madison’s plan to create a stable structure for the government of the United States
B. A disagreement at the Constitutional Convention and a subsequent compromise
C. The differences in population and relative power between the original states
D. The most important points of the Small State Plan
Question 36. According to the passage, how many states were represented at the Constitutional Convention?
A. Twelve
B. Thirteen

C. Fourteen
D. Fifty-five
Question 37 . According to the passage, in 1787 which of the following states had the FEWEST people?
A. Virginia
B. Delaware
C. New York
D. New Jersey
Question 38 . In line 10, the phrase this plan refers to ___________.
A. the Small State Plan
B. a plan suggested by the national legislature
C. the Large State Plan
D. a compromise plan
Question 39 . According to the passage, the weather had what effect on the Constitutional Convention?
A. Hot weather intensified the debate while cooler weather brought compromise
B. Bad weather prevented some of the delegates from reaching Philadelphia
C. Delegates hurried to achieve an agreement before winter arrived

The role of translation enabling literature to pass beyond its natural frontiers is receiving growing
recognition. In view of the general increase in this (43) _____ , it is not surprising that many people with
literary interests and a knowledge of languages should think of adopting translating as a full- or part-time (44)
_____. Some advice may usefully be given to such would -be translators.
The first difficulty the beginner will encounter is the unwillingness of publishers to entrust a translator to
anyone who has not already established a reputation for sound work. The least publishers will demand

feels competent and eager to translate, translate a (46) _____ section of the book and then submit the book
and the translation to a suitable publisher. If he or she is extremely lucky, this may result in a commission to
