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.
Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road. Some of these are made on public
transport but most are by private car.
In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g. getting to work, doing the
shopping, and visiting friends. People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the
Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find
anywhere to park a car. Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so
people living there have no choice but to rely on their cars.
In the US large cities have good public transportation systems. The El railroad in Chicago and the
underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used.
Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities,
have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc. Many college and even highschool students have their own cars.
Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities.
Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their own
convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam. Long-distance
coach/bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less
comfortable. Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air.
There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London. A lot of freight is also
distributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail.
In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies,
Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private
railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes
by road.
The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion
and pollution. It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few

years, making both these problems worse. The British government would like more people to use public
transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides
with neighbours. Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough. Americans too have
resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom.
Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they
see no reason to use their cars less.
(Extracted from Oxford Guide to British and American Culture, Oxford University Press, 2000)

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.
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual
not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the
phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and
connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professional worried.
Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of
mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are

worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones
are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use
mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern
scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious
memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son.
This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a
couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines
can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there
is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their
safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often.
46. The most suitable title for the passage could be ____.
A. Technological Innovations and Their Price B. The Importance of Mobile Phones
C. Mobile Phones: A Must of Our Time
D. Advantages and Disadvantages of Mobile Phones
47. According to the passage, cell phones are especially popular with the youth because ____.
A. they keep the users in alert all the time
B. they are integral in daily communication
C. they are the only effective means of communication
D. they make them look more stylish
48. According to the passage, the changes possibly caused by the cell phones are mainly concerned with
____.
A. the smallest units of the brain
B. the central unit of the brain
C. the structure of the brain
D. the long-term memory
49. The words negative publicity in paragraph 2 most likely means ____.
A. information on the lethal effects of cellphones
B. the negative public use of cellphones

C. widespread opinion about bad effects of cellphones
D. constructive ideas about the effects of cellphones
50. The word their in the last paragraph refers to ____.
A. mobile phone companies B. mobile phones C. high-tech machines D. radiations

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.
Naming customs are different around the world. In most cultures, however, people have at least
two names: a family name and given name. Your given name is the name you receive when you are born.
Your family name is the name you share with other people in your farnily In the United States, the family
name is often called the last name, and the given name is often called the first name. However, the order of
two names is not the same everywhere. For example, in many Asian countries, the family name is first and
the given name is second. When two people from different cultures meet, sometimes they use the incorrect
name. This can cause embarrassment.
Family names can show something about a family's early history. The origin of many English family name
is a place, like London, or a job, such as Farmer or Shoemaker. A long time ago, these families probably
worked as farmers or shoemakers. Swedish and Danish family names often mean son of _____. For
example, Johansson means son of Johan. In South Korea, there are only about 250 family names. These
names go back hundreds of years to vary old clans. About half of all Koreans have one of the three most
common family names - Kim, Park or Lee.
There is generally no choice about a family name, but there is much more choice about given names.
Parents choose their child's name for many different reasons. They may select a name that sounds
beautiful or means something special. These names may have meanings like peaceful or happiness. In
some cultures, there may be a connection between children’s names and when or how they were born.
For example, a Yoruba child in Nigeria might have a name like Sunday or Born on a Sunny day. In some
countries, parents may pay more money to a professional baby namer to help them find a good name.
They want to find a name that will be lucky for their child.

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.
E-waste is being produced on a scale never seen before. Computers and other electronic equipment
become obsolete in just a few years, leaving customers with little choice but to buy newer ones to keep
up. Millions of tons of computers, TVs, smartphones, and other equipment are discarded each year. In
most countries, all this waste ends up in landfills, where it poisons the environment - e-waste contains
many toxic substances such as lead, mercury, and arsenic that leak into the ground.
Recycling is the ideal solution to the problem. E-waste contains significant amounts of valuable
metals like gold and silver that make it attractive to recycle. In theory, recycling gold from old computers

is more efficient - and less environmentally destructive - than digging it from the earth. The problem is
that a large percentage of e-waste dropped off for recycling in wealthy countries is sold and diverted to the
developing world, posing an increasing threat to the health of the people there.
To address the problem of the international trade in e-waste, 170 nations signed the 1989 Basel
Convention, an agreement requiring that developed nations notify developing nations of hazardous waste


shipments coming into their countries. Then, in 1995 the Basel Convention was modified to ban hazardous
waste shipments to poor countries completely. Although the ban hasn’t taken effect the European Union,
where recycling infrastructure is well developed, has already written it into their laws. One law holds
manufacturers responsible for the safe disposal of electronics they produce.
Companies like Creative Recycling Systems in Florida, the USA, are hoping to profit from clean ewaste recycling. The key to their business is a huge, building-size machine able to separate electronic
products into their component materials. As the machine’s steel teeth break up e-waste, all the toxic dust is
removed from the process. This machine can handle some 70,000 tons of electronics a year. Although this
is only a fraction of the tota1, it wouldn’t take many more machines like this to process the entire USA’s
output of high-tech trash.
Unfortunately, under current policies, domestic processing of e-waste is not compulsory, and while
shipping waste abroad is ethically questionable, it is still more profitable than processing it safely in the
USA. Creative Recycling Systems is hoping that the US government will soon create laws deterring
people from sending e-waste overseas.
