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 23 to 29.
A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of
the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake
Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is
able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by
geothermal heat from the earth's core. The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from
the frigid temperatures on the surface.
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of
the area. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of
indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made

scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely
flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake.
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the
scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have
survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and
elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas. The downside of the
discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate
and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without
actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish
this.
Question 23: What is true of Lake Vostok?
A. It is completely frozen.
B. It is a saltwater lake.
C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice.
D. It is heated by the sun.
Question 24: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it
.
A. was conducted by air
B. made use of radio waves
C. could not determine the lake's exact size
D. was controlled by a satellite
Question 25: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if
.


A. there were no lake underneath
B. the lake were not so big
C. Antarctica were not so cold
D. radio waves were not used
Question 26: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the

following?
A. Pieces of dust
B. Tiny bubbles
C. Tiny organisms
D. Rays of light
Question 27: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it
A. can be studied using radio waves
B. may contain uncontaminated microbes
C. may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light
D. has already been contaminated
Question 28: The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of
A. further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica
B. problems with satellite-borne radar
equipment
C. ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating itD. the harsh climate of Antarctica
Question 29: The purpose of the passage is to .
A. explain how Lake Vostok was discovered
B. provide satellite data concerning
Antarctica
C. discuss future plans for Lake Vostok D. present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica's geography
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 30 to 37
Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding
natural resources. We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source
of environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful
production practices. We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve
the quality of the environment. Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which
is abandoned and poorly stored. It represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it
degrades and leaks into the earth without any control at all.
Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can affect all levels of an

ecosystem. It can affect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability
of food up through the food chain. It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to
support healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff. The
health of animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in contaminated water. In
addition water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate contaminants in
their bodies. When other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of
contaminant than they would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination.
Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from
the ground by manmade or natural processes. Depending on the study of rocks of the area,
groundwater may rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers,
streams, or ponds, or sink deeper into the earth. In many parts of fhe world, groundwater is pumped
out of the ground to be used for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry.
Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their
roots. Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that
have piled up soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals.
Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as
contaminants are absorbed from the lungs into other parts of the body. Certain air contaminants can
also harm animals and humans when they contact the skin. Plants rely on breathing for their growth
and can also be affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air.

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

the
correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare (38) __________ between
husband and wife. Young couples will try to arrange their work schedules so that they work
opposite hours or shifts in order that one parent is always home with the children. Since childcare is
expensive, this saves money for the young couple trying to establish themselves and provide a
secure environment for the family. Husband and wife may also share household chores. Some
fathers are just as capable as mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing
the laundry.
In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family (39) __________ and the father becomes the
“househusband." These cases are still fairly rare. One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to
be spending more time with their children. In a recent survey, 41% of the children sampled said they
spend equal time with their mothers and fathers. “This is one of our most significant cultural
changes,” says Dr. Leon Hoffman, who co-directs the
Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society. In practice, for over 30 years,
Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything from
care-taking to general decision (40) __________ around kids' lives.”
Another factor has recently been added to the childcare formula. The number of people who work
from home nearly full-time rose 23% from the last decade. The (41) _________ of technology computers, faxes, teleconferencing - has made it easier for at-home workers to be constantly in
touch. Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a positive change for the (42) __________ of
children? Only time will tell.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 38 to 42.
IN ONE CUBIC FOOT
In any environment- forest, mountain, or water- you always see the big animals first:
birds, mammals, fish. But under your feet, on land or in the water, there are many smaller
organisms: insects, tiny plants, miniature sea creatures. They seem unimportant, but, in fact,
these sea creatures and ground dwellers are “ the heart of life on the Earth”, says naturalist E.O.
Wilson. Without them, our world would change dramatically.
Most organisms on the Earth live on the ground or just below it. Here, they are not part of
an important cycle. Plants and animals fall to the ground when they die. Later, tiny insects and
other organisms break down the dead plant and animal material. This process eventually returns
nutrients to the soil and gives plants energy. Plants can then help to maintain a healthy
environment for humans and other animals.
Despite their importance, scientists know very little about most ground organisms. To
learn more, photographer David Liittschwager went to different place around the world,
including a forest, a river, a mountain, and a coral reef. In each place, he put a green 12-inch
cube on the ground or in the water. Then he and his team counted and photographed the
organisms that lived in or moved through the cube. Often they discovered hundreds, some only a
millimeter in size. “It was like finding little gems.” he says. In the coral reef in French
Polynesia, he saw thousands of creatures in the cube and photographed 600. The team identified
as many as possible, but it was difficult. Many of the animals they found were new species.
Question 38. Another title of the passge could be _____________.
A. Dangers to Ground Creatures

B. The Importance of Tiny Organisms
C. Saving Small Animals in Cubes

________.
A. they went to various places in the world.
B. they discovered numberous organisms in small sizes
C. the examined cubes by putting them on the ground or in the water
D. they did some experiments with the organisms
Question 42. Why was it difficult to identify the creatures at the coral reef?
A. Many were new to science.
B.The water was cloudy.
C. They were too small.
D. Many of them looked the same.
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 43 to 50.
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new
behaviours. It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much
4

of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their
lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their
hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the
sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their
parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school,
children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also
continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be
rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other
children. After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that
affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.
Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the
study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best
ways to educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other humanservice workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviours.
Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the
behavior of workers, voters and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain.
Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this
storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast,
psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a
result of a person’s experiences.
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of
learning involve a single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a
sight, sound, smell, tough, or taste. In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people
learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thumder. In
operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its
consequences (reward or punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation-that is,
by watching others perform behaviors. More complex forms of learning include learning
languages, concepts, and motor skills.

Question 43. According to the passage, which of the following is learning in broad view
comprised of?
A. Acquisition of social and behavioural skills.
B. Knowledge acquisition and ability development.
C. Acquisition of academic knowledge.
D. Knowledge acquisition outside the classroom.
Question 44. The word “retrieves” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ____________.
A.generates
B. recovers
C. creates
D. gains
Question 45. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Psychologists studying memory are concerned with how the stored knowledge is used.
B. Psychologists studying memory are concerned with the brain’s storage of knowledge.
C. Psychologists are all interested in memory as much as behaviours.
D. Psychologists studying are interested in human behaviours.
Question 46. According to the passage, what are children NOT usually taught outside the
classroom?
A. Literacy and calculation
B. Life skills
C. Interpersonal communication
D. Right from wrong
5


Question 47. According to the passage, the study of learning is important in many fields due to
_____________.
A.the great influence of the on-going learning process
B.the influence of various behaviours in the learning process
C. the exploration of the best teaching methods

D. the need for certain experiences in various areas
Question 48. It can be inferred from the passage that social workers, employers, and politicians
concern themselves with the study of learning because they need to __________.
A.change the behaviours of the objects of their interest towards learning
B.make the objects of their interest more aware of the importance of learning
C. understand how a stimulus relates to the senses of the objects of their interest
D. thoroughly understand the behaviours of the objects of their interest

passage?
A.It is more interesting and effective in school than that in life.
B. It becomes less challenging and complicated when people grow older.
C. It plays a crucial part in improving the learner’s motivation in school.
D. It takes place more frequently in real life than in academic institutions.

Read the following pasage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
From 1940 to 1956, a man called George Metesky set off bombs in places like movie theatres and
train stations all over New York City. A psychiatrist named James A. Brussel was called in by the
police to help. He used crime scene photos and others from the bomber to profile the criminal doing the
bombings. He assured the police that the man was middle-aged, unmarried, and a skilled mechanic from
Connecticut.
This was an example of criminal profiling. Profiling is used when a criminal's identity is unknown.
Based on profiling, a psychological sketch of the person is created. This sketch helps the police more
easily find him or her. It Is an essential tool for the police trying to solve major crimes. Profiling has
been used for a long time to help the police.
Profilers are not police officers. They are experts who create criminal profiles for the police. They use
the crime scene evidence and psychology to write about the suspect. They can't tell who the person is,
but they can tell the police what kind of person to look for. To be a profiler, one needs a degree in
psychology, criminal justice, or behavioral science. Profilers sometimes work in police departments and
sometimes they are independent workers.
Profiling is especially effective in cases of repeated crimes, like serial killers. The profile tells the
police what the killer may act like. It also tells the police what kind of person the killer may target next
and where it might happen. That way, the police can prevent further crimes. Profilers can learn a lot
about a criminal's habits from the evidence they leave behind.
All of this is impressive, but not everyone agrees with profiling. Some say it's just a guessing game. It
may not always work, but profiling methods have improved over time. Today's profilers are much better

than previous profilers. They can create better profiles thanks to decades of knowledge and experience.
Even if their information isn't perfect, it's still a great help to the police.
