Lynette Long was once the principal of an elementary school. She said, “We had a
school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys
attached. I was constantly telling them to put the keys inside shirts. There were so many
keys; it never came to my mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned that they were house
keys.

She and her husband began talking to the children who had keys. They learned of the
effect working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear was the
biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs
talked to reported being frightened. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own
safety.

The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. They may
hide in a shower stall, under a bed or in a closet. The second is TV. They often turn the
volume up. It’s hard to get statistics on latchkey children, the Longs have learned. Most
parents are slow to admit that they leave their children alone.

Today the position is quite different. Women now can vote and choose their own husbands.
In 1970, a law was passed to give them an equal share of property in the case of divorce, and
in the same year the Equal Pay Act gave them the right to get equal payment with men for
work of equal value.

Despite these changes, there is no doubt that there are still great differences in status
between men and women. Many employers seem to ignore the Equal Pay Act. It is also more
difficult for a woman to get promotion than a man does.

There is sex distinction in England although it has not been as serious as it was. More and
more women go out to work, earn more money, get high positions in the society, and live
independently. However, there are two great problems to solve. The first problem is men's
attitude. They always think that women are lower in rank and are the weaker sex. We do not
know exactly how long it will take them to change their mind. And the other problem which
is much more difficult is women's attitude. They should be ready to struggle to change their
fate.

Question 43: At the beginning of the 19th century, British women ______.

A. seemed to have almost no rights at all B. had the right to choose their husbands
C. were better off than today D. had the right to vote

Question 44: The word “They” in the first paragraph refers to ______.
A. women’s marriages B. women’s children

A. It is the same as in the past. B. It is quite different from the
past.

C. It is worse than the past. D. It is a bit better than the past
Question 47: The Equal Pay Act was passed in ______.

A. 1960 B. 1970 C. 1971

D. 1962

Question 48 : The word “doubt” in the third paragraph can best be replaced with ______.

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

Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life. The great ocean basins
hold about 300 million cubic miles of water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic
miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by
precipitation and drainage to the ocean. More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend
annually upon the continents. This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and
streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent. Thus, the
hydrosphere permits organic existence.

The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike
those of any other liquid. One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9
percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling. For this reason, ice floats on water bodies
instead of sinking to the bottom. If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen
solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer season. Thus, all
aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which
moderates climate, would be notably absent.

Another outstanding charateristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is
the highest of all liquids and solids except ammonia. This characterisitc enables the oceans
to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes. In
addition, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. It is this characteristic
which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down
from the continents. In several areas of the world these minerals are being commercially
exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely practised, potash is extracted from the Dead
Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast.

45: The author’s main purpose in this passage is to ___________.

A. illustrate the importance of conserving water B. describe the properties
and uses of water

C. compare water with other liquids D. explain how water is
used in commerce and industry

46: The phrase “this vast amount” in line 4 of paragraph 1 refers to __________ .
A. 80,000 million cubic miles of water B. 24,000 cubic miles of rain

C. 80,000 cubic miles of water D. 300 million cubic miles of water
47: The word “replenish” in paragraph 1 can best replaced by ________ .

A. exceptionally goodB. special C. amusing D. important

A. the part of the earth covered by water B. responsible for all forms of life

C. in danger of freezing over D. a source of natural resources

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer for each of the questions.

Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination against
women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had
kept the number of women entrepreneurs small. Now, however, businesses owned by
women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to
continue rising throughout the 1990s. As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small
Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade of women entering
management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur". What

are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced
degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles. Women are
still excluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had
noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could
become chairman of the board. Now they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they go
out on their own".

In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and
clothing, for example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, a
$22-million-a-year computer software business. It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who
was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering. When Kurtzig founded the
business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their
newspaper carriers-and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to
hold the company's cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired
several bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs. When these were
marketed and sold, ASK began to grow. It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig
owns $66.9 million of stock.

</div>
(10)<div class='page_container' data-page=10>

businesses owned by women are still quite small. But the situation is changing; there are
likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead.

One of the most important ways to help threatened plants and animals survive is to
protect their habitats permanently in national parks, nature reserves or wilderness areas.
There they can live without too much interference from humans. It is also important to
protect habitats outside reserves such as on farms and along roadsides.

You can visit a nearby national park or nature reserve. Some national parks have special
guided tours and walks for kids. Talk to the rangers to find out whether there are any
threatened species and how they are being protected. You and your friends might be able to
help the rangers in their conservation work.

When you visit a national park, make sure you obey the wildlife code: follow fire
regulations; leave your pets at home; leave flowers, birds' eggs, logs, bushes and rocks
where you find them; put your rubbish in a bin or, better still, take it home.

If you have friends who live on farms, encourage them to keep patches of bush as
wildlife habitats and to leave old trees standing, especially those with hollows suitable for
nesting animals.

Some areas have groups which look after local lands and nature reserves. They do this
by removing weeds and planting local native species in their place. You could join one of
these groups, or even start a new one with your parents and friends. Ask your local parks
authority or council for information.

By removing rubbish and weeds and replanting with native plants you will allow the
native bush to gradually regenerate. This will also encourage native animals to return.
