Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the
following questions from 39 to 43.
More and more young people are choosing to take a gap year between finishing school and starting
university. Alternatively, they may decide to take a gap year between graduating from university and
starting a career feeling the need for some time out before joining the rat race. Most students see the time
as an opportunity to travel. The idea of travelling to as many foreign places as possible appeals greatly.
A large percentage of gap-year students have wealthy parents who can easily subsidze their travel.
Others have to save up before they go or look for some forms of employment while travelling. For
example, they may works on local farms or in local hotels. By doing so, they not only earn some money,
but they are likely to meet local people and acquire some understanding of their culture.
There are some students who choose to work for the whole of their gap year. A number may decide to get
work experience, either at home or abroad in an area which they hope to make their career, such as
medicine or computers. A large proportion of students are now choosing to work with a charity which
arranges voluntary work in various parts of the world. The project provides hands-on experience of a very
varied nature, from teaching to helping build roads or dams.
The gap year is not just an adventure. Young people can benefit greatly from encountering new varied
experiences and from communication with a wide range of people. Perhaps most important, gap-year
students have to learn to stand on their own two feet.
Question 39: What could be the best title of the passage?
A. Studying Overseas

B. Taking Time Out

C. Working for Life

D. Contributing to the Community

Question 40: The word “subsidize” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by.......


A. pay for

B. work for

C. apply for

D. ask for

Question 41: The word “their” in paragraph 2 refers t..........
A. gap-year students

B. local farms

C. local people

D. local hotels

Question 42: According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Students can take a gap year only before starting university.
B. The number of students take a gap year between high school and university is falling
C. Most students consider a gap year as a chance to travel

D. None of the students choose to work for the whole of their gap year to get experience
Question 43: According to the passage, which is perhaps the most benefit of the students’ taking a gap
year?
A. They receive partical training for their future careers
B. They learn how to become independent
C. They earn money to support their further studies
D. They have an opportunity to meet local people
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 from 44 to 50.
“I have not paid a single electricity bill since the year 1970” says Richard Perez with noticable glee. He
can afford to be smug. He lives “ off-grid” – unconnected to the power grid and the water, gas and
sewerage supplies that most people in the world rely on. He ganerate his own electricity, sources his own
water and deals with his own waste disposal – and he prefers in that way. “There are times when the grid
blacks out” he says. “I really like the security of having my own electricity company.”
Perez is not alone. Once the preserve of mavericks, hippies and survivalists, there are now approximately
200,000 off-grid households in the United States of America, a figure that Perez says has been increasing
by a third every year for the past decade. For all of the people who live off-grid, self-sufficency means
guilt-free energy consumption and peace of mind. “It feels brilliant to make use of clean, free energy that
is not from fossil fuels” says Suzanne Galant, a writer who lives off-grid in a rural area in Wales. “And if
something goes wrong, we can fix it ourself”. Now even urbanites are seeing the appeal of generating
some if not all of their own power needs. So is energy freedom an eco pipe-dream or the untimate good
life?
Well, there is only one wy to find out: begin to explore the possibilities of solar, wind or hydro-power.
But unless you live on a sunny, south-facing hillsidewith access to a nearby river or stream, that might
prove prohibitively expensive!
There is no doubt that being off-grid has its problems, and it is not always the cheapest way to get the
energy you need. Even so, pioneers like Perez have proved that it can be done, and without giving up a
21st century lifestyle: “I have got five personal computers, two laser scanners, two fridge-freezer, a
microwave, a covection oven, vacuum cleaners –you name it” says Perez. There is an external beam
antenna on the roof for the phone and a satellite dish for an Internet connection. I have got 70 kWh in

batteries that could last me five days. I have too much electricity”. Too much electricity and no more
bills. That has got to be worth aiming for.
Question 44: Which is the best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Unplugging from the Grid
B. No water, no life!
C. A Day in the Life of an “Off-Grid”


D. Living without Electricity
Question 45: The phrase “blacks out” in paragraph 1 mostly means............
A. fails to work

B. is able to run

C. has no functions

D. serves many purposes

Question 46: According to paragraph 1, Perez has managed to.......
A. save a lot of money with his own company
B. stay independent of certain public utilities
C. provide energy for people in his neighbourhood
D. pay off his electricity bills since 1970
Question 47: The word “pipe-dream” in paragraph 2 mostly means............
A. a promissing vision

B. a terrible situation

C. an impractical hope

D. a real nightmare

Question 48: The word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to.............
A. being a pioneer

B. getting the energy

C. being off-grid

D. giving up a 21st century lifestyle

Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. The number of “off-gridders” in the US is said to have risen by 33% over the past ten years
B. Some city dwellers have shown an interest in producing their own electricity
C. “Off-gridders” enjoy not doing harm to the environment
D. People opting for off-grid living used to be considered quite eccentric
Question 50: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Adopting an off-grid lifestyle is only suitable for low-income people
B. Leading a 21st century lifestyle means consuming a great deal of electricity
C. Many “off-gridders” have made a fortune selling thier own electricity
D. Most people living in temperate regions are against the idea of living off-grid

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 9
Today, there are 600 million cars in the world. They may seem like a lot. However, there are over
7 million people on our planet. Most of the world’s population uses public transportation to get around.
The number of people using public transportation continues to rise. Subway systems worldwide carry 155
million passengers each day. That’s more than 30 times the number carried by all the world’s airplanes.
Every day in Tokyo passengers take more than 40 million rides on public transportation.
Yet many people see public transportation as ‘a depressing experience’, says author Taras
Gresco. They say it is slow, crowded, or too expensive. In fact , Gresco says, it is actually ‘faster, more
comfortable and cheaper’ than driving a car. Like millions of people, Taras Gresco is a ‘straphanger’ - a
person who rides public transportation. In his book straphanger: Saving Our Cities and Ourselves from
the Automobile, Gresco describe the benefits of public transportation. Firstly, it is better for the
environment. When people use public transportation, they use less fuel. Twenty people on one bus use
much less fuel than 20 people in 20 cars. Fewer cars mean less pollution and cleaner air.
Using public transportation can be good for your health in other ways. It can even help you lose
weight. In one study, a group of people took public transportation every day for six months. Each day
they walked to a bus stop or train station. In six months, each person lost an average of six pounds almost three kilograms. Taking public transportation has another benefit, says Gresco. It helps people
become part of their community. When you are alone in your car, you don’t talk to anyone. One Tokyo
straphanger told Gresco, “To use public transport is to know how to cooperate with other people,’ It

teaches you ‘how to behave in a public space’. So, public transportation is more than a way to get to
work or school. It can help lead to cleaner cities. It may also lead to a healthier and more cooperative
world population.

about

B. He or she will have a good chance to make more friends with the different people.
C. He or she will have a good chance to enjoy the natural landscape.

public transportation?

B. The smaller number of cars sold helps the automobile industry save the environment
substantially.
C. Subways use renewable energy sources instead of the fossil fuels, making the environment
cleaner.
D. Fewer people using private transportation means less fuel used, hence cleaner environment.

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 following questions from 40 to 44
The word robot first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek. In the play, a
man makes a machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner. In the
1940s, the American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov wrote a series of stories about robots and
invented the term robotics, the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were
developed by an engineer, Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor, George C. Devol. Together they
started Unimation, a manufacturing company that produces the first real robot in 1961, called the
Unimate. Robots of this type were installed at a General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a
success. They worked reliably and saved money for General Motors, so other companies were soon
acquiring robots as well.
These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in
science fiction films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were simply
pieces of computer-controlled machinery, with metal “arms” or “hands”. Since they were made of metal,
they could perform certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve
high heat. And since robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful
for tasks that would be tiring or boring for humans. Industrial robots have been improved over the years,
and today they are used in many factories around the world. Though the use of robots has meant the
loss of some jobs, at the same time other jobs have been created in the design, development, and
production of the robots.

In Africa, people celebrate with joy the birth of a new baby. The Pygmies would sing a birth-song to the child. In
Kenya, the mother takes the baby strapped to her back into the thorn enclosure where the cattle are kept. There,
her husband and the village elders wait to give the child his or her name.
In West Africa, after the baby is eight days old, the mother takes the baby for its first walk in the big, wide
world, and friends and family are invited to meet the new baby. In various African nations, they hold initiation
ceremonies for groups of children instead of birthdays. When children reach a certain designated age, they learn
the laws, beliefs, customs, songs and dances of their tribes. Some African tribes consider that children from nine to
twelve are ready to be initiated into the grown up world. They may have to carry out several tests.
Maasai boys around thirteen years old to seventeen undergo a two-stage initiation. The first stage lasts about
three months. The boys leave their parents' homes, paint their bodies white, and are taught how to become young
warriors. At the end of this stage, they have their heads shaved and they are also circumcised. At the second stage,

the young warriors grow their hair long and live in a camp called a “manyatta” where they practice hunting the
wild animals that might attack the Maasai herds. This stage may last a few years. When they are ready, they will
marry and become owners of large cattle herds like their fathers. The girls are initiated when they are fourteen or
fifteen. They are taught by the older women about the duties of marriage and how to care for babies. Soon after

correct answer to the following questions.
Foot racing is a popular activity in the United States. It is seen not only as a competitive sport but also as

a way to exercise, to enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded people, and to donate money to a good cause.
Though serious runners may spend months training to compete, other runners and walkers might not train
at all. Those not competing to win might run in an effort to beat their own time or simply to enjoy the fun
and exercise. People of all ages, from those of less than one year (who may be pushed in strollers) to those
in their eighties, enter into this sport. The races are held on city streets, on college campuses, through
parks, and in suburban areas, and they are commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length.
The largest foot race in the world is the 12-kilometer Bay to Breakers race that is held in San Francisco
every spring. This race begins on the east side of the city near San Francisco Bay and ends on the west side
at the Pacific Ocean. There may be 80,000 or more people running in this race through the streets and hills
of San Francisco. In the front are the serious runners who compete to win and who might finish in as little
as 34 minutes. Behind them are the thousands 20 who take several hours to finish. In the back of the race
are those who dress in costumes and come just for fun. One year there was a group of men who dressed
like Elvis Presley, and another group consisted of firefighters who were tied together in a long line and
who were carrying a fire hose. There was even a bridal party, in which the bride was dressed in a long
white gown and the groom wore a tuxedo. The bride and groom threw flowers to bystanders, and they
were actually married at some point along the route.

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.

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

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.

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.
