EXERCISE 1: 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.
One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of
wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain
aspects of its construction makes it one of the truly wonders of the world. The thirteen acre structure near
the Nile river is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the number of hidden
passageways and the burial chamber of the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The
four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west-an incredible
engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshippers and great astronomers, so computations for
the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines.
Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past, present and
future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past.
Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation. Many believe that
pyramids have supernatural powers and this one is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with
extraterrestrial beings of ancient past. Was this superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a
race far superior to any known today?

INTERNET JOBS
Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be a trained programmer to work online. Of course,
there are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer skills, but the growth of new media
has opened up a wide range of Internet career opportunities requiring only a minimal level of technical
expertise. Probably one of the most well-known online job opportunities is the job of Webmaster.
However, it is hard to define one basic job description for this position. The qualifications and
responsibilities depend on what tasks a particular organization needs a Webmaster to perform.
To specify the job description of a Webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and software the
website the Webmaster will manage is running on. Different types of hardware and software require
different skill sets to manage them. Another key factor is whether the website will be running internally
or externally (renting shared space on the company servers). Finally, the responsibilities of a webmaster
also depend on whether he or she will be working independently, or whether the firm will provide people
to help. All of these factors need to be considered before one can create an accurate webmaster job
description.
Webmaster is one type of Internet career requiring in-depth knowledge of the latest computer
applications. However, there are also online jobs available for which traditional skills remain in high
demand. Content jobs require excellent writing skills and a good sense of the web as a “new media’.


The term “new media” is difficult to define because it compasses a constantly growing set of new
technologies and skills. Specifically, it includes websites, email, internet technology, CD-ROM, DVD,
streaming audio and video, interactive multimedia presentations, e-books, digital music, computer
illustration, video games, virtual reality, and computer artistry.
Additionally, many of today’s Internet careers are becoming paid-by-the-job professions. With many
companies having to downsize in tough economic items, the outsourcing and contracting of freelance

workers online has become common business practice. The Internet provides an infinite pool of buyers
from around the world with whom freelancers can contract their services. An added benefit to such online
jobs is that freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside their own country.
How much can a person make in these kinds of careers? As with many questions related to today’s
evolving technology, there is no simple answer. There are many companies willing to pay people with
Internet skills salaries well over $70,000 a year. Generally, webmasters start at about $30,000 per year,
but salaries can vary greatly. Freelance writers working online have been known to make between
$40,000 to $70,000 a year.
Question 8: Which of the followings is true about the job of the freelance writers?
A. They may work with others in the company.
B. It is considered a “content” job.
C. They manage hardware and software.
D. They require in-depth knowledge of applications.
Question 9: The word “vary” in paragraph 6 can be best replaced by _______.
A. decrease

B. change

C. differ

D. increase

Question 10: It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. only skilled workers make good money
B. online workers can work full-time online.
C. it is easy to become a webmaster
D. workers with limited computer skills can not work online.
Question 11: According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE of webmasters?
A. They never work independently.
B. The duties they perform depend on the organization they work for.

C. They require a minimal level of expertise.
D. They do not support software products.

A. To inform people about the tasks and the roles of a webmaster.
B. To inform people about employment related to the Internet.


C. To inform people about the computer industry.
D. To explain why webmasters make a lot of money.
Question 13: According to the passage, all of the followings are TRUE except _______.
A. Webmasters must have knowledge of the latest computer applications.
B. Online workers can not free themselves from the office.
C. “New media” is not easy to define.
D. There are online jobs available for workers with minimal computer skills.
Question 14: Which of the followings is not mentioned as part of the “new media”?

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 large number of inventions require years of arduous research and development before they are
perfected. For instance, Thomas Edison had to make more than 1,000 attempts to invent the
incandescentlight bulb before he finally succeeded. History is replete with numerous other examples of
people trying, yet failing to make inventions before they eventually succeede d. Yet some inventions have
come about not through hard work but simply by accident.
In most cases, when someone unintentionally invented something, the inventor was attempting to
create something else. For example, in the 1930s, chemist Roy Plunkett was attempting to make a new
substance that could be used to refrigerate items. He mixed some chemicals together. Then, he put them
into a pressurized container and cooled the mixture. By the time his experiment was completed, he had a
new invention. It was not a new substance that could be used for refrigeration though. Instead, he had
invented Teflon, which is today most commonly used to make nonstick pots and pans. Similarly, decades
earlier, John Pemberton was a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia .He was attempting to create a tonic that
people could use whenever they had headaches. While he was not successful in that endeavor, he
managed to invent Coca - Cola, the world – famous carbonated soft drink.
Scientists have also made crucial discoveries by accident when they were conducting experiments. In
1928, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, an antibiotic, in this manner. He discovered some mold
growing in a dish with some bacteria. He noticed that the bacteria seemed to be avoiding the mold. When
he investigated further, he determined some of the many useful properties of penicillin, which has saved
millions of lives over the past few decades. Likewise, in 1946, scientist Percy Spencer was conducting an


experiment with microwaves. He had a candy bar in his pocket, and he noticed that it suddenly melted.
He investigated and learned the reason why that had happened. Soon afterward, he built a device that
could utilize microwaves to heat food: the microwave oven.
Question 16: Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A. History's Most Important Inventions
B. Accidental Inventions and Discoveries

C. How to Become a Great Inventor
D. You Don't Always Get What You Want
Question 17: In paragraph 1, the word “arduous” is closest in meaning to _______.
A. detailed

B. tough

C. specific

D. constant

Question 18: In paragraph 2, the word “endeavor” is closest in meaning to _______.

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
With Robert Laurent and William Zorach, direct carving enters into the story of modern sculpture in
the United States. Direct carving - in which the sculptors themselves carve stone or wood with mallet and
chisel - must be recognized as something more than just a technique. Implicit in it is an aesthetic principle
as well: that the medium has certain qualities of beauty and expressiveness with which sculptors must
bring their own aesthetic sensibilities into harmony. For example, sometimes the shape or veining in a
piece of stone or wood suggests, perhaps even dictates, not only the ultimate form, but even the subject
matter.
The technique of direct carving was a break with the nineteenth-century tradition in which the
making of a clay model was considered the creative act and the work was then turned over to studio
assistants to be cast in plaster or bronze or carved in marble. Neoclassical sculptors seldom held a mallet
or chisel in their own hands, readily conceding that the assistants they employed were far better than they
were at carving.
With the turn-of-the-century Crafts movement and the discovery of nontraditional sources of
inspiration, such as wooden African figures and masks, there arose a new urge for hands-on, personal
execution of art and an interaction with the medium. Even as early as the 1880's and 1890's,

nonconformist European artists were attempting direct carving. By the second decade of the twentieth
century, Americans - Laurent and Zorach most notably - had adopted it as their primary means of
working.
Born in France, Robert Laurent (1890-1970) was a prodigy who received his education in the United
States. In 1905 he was sent to Paris as an apprentice to an art dealer, and in the years that followed he
witnessed the birth of Cubism, discovered primitive art, and learned the techniques of woodcarving from
a frame maker.
Back in New York City by 1910, Laurent began carving pieces such as The Priestess, which reveals
his fascination with African, pre-Columbian, and South Pacific art. Taking a walnut plank, the sculptor
carved the expressive, stylized design.
It is one of the earliest examples of direct carving in American sculpture. The plank's form dictated
the rigidly frontal view and the low relief. Even its irregular shape must have appealed to Laurent as a
break with a long-standing tradition that required a sculptor to work within a perfect rectangle or square.
Question 23: The word “medium” in paragraph 1 could be used to refer to _______.
A. principle

B. mallet and chisel

C. technique

Question 24: What is one of the fundamental principles of direct carving?

D. stone or wood


A. A sculptor must work with talented assistants.
B. The subject of a sculpture should be derived from classical stories.

D. Designing a sculpture is a more creative activity than carving it.
Question 25: The word “dictates” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. includes

B. determines

C. reads aloud

D. records

Question 26: How does direct carving differ from the nineteenth-century tradition of sculpture?
A. Sculptors are personally involved in the carving of a piece.
B. Sculptors find their inspiration in neoclassical sources.
C. Sculptors have replaced the mallet and chisel with other tools.
D. Sculptors receive more formal training.
Question 27: The word “witnessed” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. studied

B. influenced

C. validated

D. observed

C. Africa

D. New York

C. a destruction of

D. a departure from

A. It depicts the front of a person.
C. The design is stylized

B. The carving is not deep.

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.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their
actions. This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to
them. Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to
others. But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it
does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions.
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand
substantially the same "facial language". Studies by Ekman's group have demonstrated that humans share
a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human
species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such
far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the

jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim


that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust,
contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the
context and intensity of emotional displays - the so called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for
example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially negative ones- while many
American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however,
emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people's behavior. From their first days of life,
babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings.
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention to
facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people's
faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a
basic set of human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some
emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that
certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do
you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust,
while in China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a
Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional
expressions.
Question 31: The word “evolved” is closest in meaning to _______.
A. developed

B. simplified

C. increased

D. reduced

A. raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth.

Question 33: Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _______.
A. change their behaviour

B. conceal their positive emotions

C. display their emotions openly

D. control their emotions

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.
Advertising helps people recognize a particular brand, persuades them to try it, and tries to keep
them loyal to it. Brand loyalty is perhaps the most important goal of consumer advertising. Whether they
produce cars, canned foods or cosmetics, manufacturers want their customers to make repeated purchases.
The quality of the product will encourage this, of course, but so, too, will affect advertising.
Advertising relies on the techniques of market research to identify potential users of a product. Are
they homemakers or professional people? Are they young or old? Are they city dwellers or country
dwellers? Such questions have a bearing on where and when ads should be placed. By studying
readership breakdowns for newspapers and magazines as well as television ratings and other statistics, an
advertising agency can decide on the best way of reaching potential buyers. Detailed research and
marketing expertise are essential today when advertising budgets can run into thousands of millions of
dollars.
Advertising is a fast-paced, high-pressure industry. There is a constant need for creative ideas that
will establish a personality for a product in the public's mind. Current developments in advertising
increase the need for talented workers.
In the past, the majority of advertising was aimed at the traditional white family - breadwinner father,
non- working mother, and two children. Research now reveals that only about 6 percent of American
households fit this stereotype. Instead, society is fragmented into many groups, with working mothers,
single people and older people on the rise. To be most successful, advertising must identify a particular
segment and aim its message toward that group.

Advertising is also making use of new technologies. Computer graphics are used to grab the attention
of consumers and to help them see products in a new light. The use of computer graphics in a
commercial for canned goods, for instance, gave a new image to the tin can.
Question 38: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How to develop a successful advertising plan.
B. New techniques and technologies of market research.
C. The central role of advertising in selling products.
D. The history of advertising in the United States.
Question 39: The word "this" in bold type in paragraph 1 refers to______.
A. the quality of the product

B. effective advertising

C. repeatedly buying the same brand

D. the most important goal

Question 40: It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that advertisers must______.
A. encourage people to try new products
B. aim their message at homemakers and professional people
C. know about the people who will buy the product
D. place several ads in newspapers and magazines
Question 41: According to paragraph 2, market research includes______.
A. studying television ratings.
B. hiring researchers with backgrounds in many fields.
C. searching for talented workers.
D. determining the price of a product.
Question 42: The author implies that the advertising industry requires______.

A. millions of dollars

B. a college-educated work force

C. innovative thinking

D. government regulation

Question 43: According to the passage, most advertising used to be directed at______.
A. working mothers with children

B. two-parent families with children

C. unmarried people

D. older adults

Question 44: The phrase "in a new light" in bold type in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. differently

B. with the use of color enhancement

C. more distinctly

D. in a more energy-efficient way

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.
One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through
his highly inventive trilogy. The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from
Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo -Saxon and
English language and literature at Oxford University.
Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in
intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the
outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological
phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien.
The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its
success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as
they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time

called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth,
Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and
some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories
from Greece and Northern Europe.
Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy
with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims
that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create
mythology and legends about elves and their language.


Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a
body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today.

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.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It’s a special, dark place completely different from
anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects,


and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but
sometimes you don't know it's raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach
the ground
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in
tropical parts of the worldThe largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The
Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is

in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia,
and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the "lungs of our
planet" because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's fresh water is
also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and
insects live in the Earth's rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For
example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from
rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only
in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get
from rainforests, it's surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000

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.
There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently
linked to one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation
when they hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the outer
layer of the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates. There are
a few enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is
fluid. As a result, the plates are in constant - yet slow - motion. The plates may move away from or
towards other plates. In some cases, they collide violently with the plates adjoining them. The movement
of the plates causes tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up. When it is released,
an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only
scientific instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they
cause little harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and
other structures to collapse. They may additionally injure and kill thousands of people and might even
cause the land to change it appearance.
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's oceans.
Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water in the

ocean. When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all
directions from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can
travel thousands of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This
causes the tsunamis to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami - one more


than ten meters in height - can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human
settlements, and kill large numbers of people.
Question 68: Which of the following statements does paragraph 1 support?
A. Earthquakes cause more destruction than tsunamis.
B. A tsunami happens in tandem with an earthquake.
C. The most severe type of natural disaster is an earthquake.
D. Earthquakes frequently take place after tsunamis do.
Question 69: The word "it" in bold in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. the Earth

B. the core

C. the crust

D. the mantle

Question 70: What is the passage mainly about?
A. How earthquakes and tsunamis occur.
B. What kind of damage natural disasters can cause.
C. Why tsunamis are deadlier than earthquakes.
D. When earthquakes are the most likely to happen.
Question 71: The word "adjoining" in bold in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. bordering

B. residing

C. approaching

D. appearing

Question 72: The word "perceive" in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. comprehend

B. detect

C. prevent

D. locate

Question 73: Which of the following is true regarding the crust?
A. There many separate pieces that make it up.
B. It is the smallest of the Earth's three layers.
C. It is thicker on land than it is under the water.
D. The mantle beneath it keeps it from moving too much.
Question 74: Based on the passage, what is probably true about tsunamis?
A. They kill more people each year than earthquakes.
B. They are able to move as fast as the speed of sound
C. They cannot damage ships sailing on the ocean.
D. They can be deadly to people standing near shore.
Question 75: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 3 about earthquakes?

B. How often powerful ones take place
C. What kind of damage they can cause
D. How severe the majority of them are

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.
Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these
activities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant
returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger to
the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone – a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse
messages as the context changes.
These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either
direction. Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept
secret from members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of
compounds as trail pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working
with the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Atta texana calculated that one milligram of this substance
would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth.
The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant
detects this signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest
concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant
moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one
and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in
the vapor space. The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new
course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back

and forth down the trail.
