Last year I went to Nepal for three months to work in a hospital. I think it's important
to see as much of a country as you can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The
hospital let me have a few days’ holiday, so I decided to go into the jungle and I asked a
Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.

We started preparing for the trip at six in the morning, and left camp with two
elephants carrying our equipment. It was hot but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers
to protect me from snakes. In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to
find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto the elephants' backs to get better view,
but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the heat of the day.

Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We crept
nearer and found a dead deer, still bleeding. This was the tiger's lunch! Suddenly I started
to feel very frightened.

We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out like a flash of lightning,
five hundred kilos plus and four meters long. I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right
down the animal's throat. It grabbed Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull

Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so
we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep!

appropriately for the party. You will stick out like a sore thumb if you are dressed formally
whereas everyone else is in T-shirt and jeans. If you are not sure what to wear, do ask
your host.

During the party you may perhaps like to help your host by offering to serve drinks or
wash the dishes. Your host would certainly appreciate these efforts. If you happen to be in
a party you do not know anyone, do not try to monopolize the host's attention. This is
inconsiderate since your host has many people to attend to and can not spend all his time
with you. Instead, learn to mingle with others at the party. You could try breaking the ice
by introducing yourself to someone who is friendly-looking.

Before you leave the party, remember to thank your host first. If you have the time, you
could even offer to help your host clean up the place.

VIII. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions below.

The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to
read and write, or the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and
speak. In modern contexts, It refers to reading and writing at a level
adequate for communication, or at level that lets one understand and
communicate ideas in a literate society, so as to take part in that
society. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) has drafted the following definition: " Literacy is the
ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute,
using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts.
Literacy involves a continuum of learning to enable an individual to achieve
his or her goals, to develop his or her knowledge and potential, and to
participate fully in the wider society."

Policy makers also argue that literacy increases job opportunities and
access to higher education. In Kerala, India, for example, female and child
mortality rates declined dramatically in the 1960s, when the girls who were
educated in the educational reforms after 1948 began to raise

families. Recent researchers, however, argue that correlations such as the
one listed above may have more to do with the effects of schooling rather
than literacy in general. Regardless, the focuses of educational systems
worldwide include a basic concept around communication through text and
print, which is the foundation of most definitions of literacy.

Asian, Arab and Sub-Sahara African countries are regions with the
lowest literacy rates at about 10% to 12%. East Asia and Latin America
have illiteracy rates in the 10 to 15% region while developed countries have
illiteracy rates of a few percent. Within ethnically homogeneous regions,
literacy rates can vary widely from region to region. This often coincides with
the region's wealth or urbanization, though many factors play a role.

A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS

I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an
isolated village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N’Djamena. Coming from a rich country, I
got quite a shock as conditions were much harder than I had expected. But after a few days I soon
got used to living there. The people were always very friendly and helpful, and soon I began to
appreciate how beautiful the countryside was.

One of my jobs was to supply the village with water. The well was a long walk away. And
the women used to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards. So I
contacted the organization and arranged to have some pipes delivered. We built a simple pipeline
and a pump, and it worked first time. It wasn’t perfect – there were a few leaks, but it made a great
difference to the villagers, who had never had running water before. And not only did we have
running water, but in the evening it was hot, because the pipe had been lying in the sun all day.
All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience. Although it was not well-paid, it
was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone who was considering working for a
charity.

A. surprised B. depressed C. impressed D. disappointed

2. Which of the following is not true?

A. A pipeline was built to carry clean water to homes.
B. Solar energy was used to heat water.

D. It took a lot of time to take water home from the well.

Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For
many Americans it is the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices
and most businesses close for Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend
a vacation.

Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North
America. They arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough
food to eat, so many of them died. But in the following summer Native Americans showed
them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They
held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they had

survived.

to create an air of prosperity, wealth and fun for the first three days of the Lunar New Year,
people are kept busy cooking traditional foods, buying gifts, and making other

preparations. Certain items deemed to be bought or made are banh chung, dried

watermelon seeds, tea, dried sausages, fruit (fresh and candied), ornamental plants and
flowers. Red and yellow flowers are ideal as they make the house more welcoming. On the
New Year's days, only good comments and wishes can be expressed. Children receive
their Ii xi (or red envelopes with lucky money inside). People make a visit to family

members, neighbors, and close friends. And people who live apart from their family try to

VIII. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

One of the most urgent environment problems in the world today is the shortage of
clean water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial
pollution and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes and even
entire seas have become large pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of largest
lake in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare
species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the
massive volumes of industrial pollutants which pour into the lake everyday. Even where
law existed, the government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries
simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world's water
surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost sixteen
countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore. Water is free to everyone.
A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was limitless.
Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is
now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do

something now.

VIII. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.

Scientists often divide resources into two groups: renewable and non– renewable.
When a resource is used, it takes some times to replace it. If the resource can be replaced
quickly and easily, it is called renewable. If it cannot be replaced quickly and easily, it is
non-renewable. All fossil fuels are non-renewable resources. Solar energy, air, and water
are usually called renewable because there is an unlimited supply.

However, this definition may change if people are not careful with these resources.
The amount of solar energy that reaches the earth depends on the atmosphere. If the

atmosphere is polluted, the solar energy that reaches the earth may be dangerous. If
humans continue to pollute the air, it will not contain the correct amounts of these gases.

Many resources are limited and non- renewable, and many are in danger of
pollution. As a consequence, resources must be conserved and the environment
protected. Conservation must become an important part of everyone’s life.

VIII. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.

The Asian Games owes its origins to small Asian multi-sport competitions. The Far
Eastern Championship Games were created to show unity and cooperation among three
nations: Japan, the Philippines and China. The first games were held in Manila, the
Philippines in 1931. Other Asian nations participated after it was organized.

After World War II, a number of Asian countries became independent. Many of the
new independent Asian countries wanted to use a new type of competition where Asian
dominance should not be shown by violence and should be strengthened by mutual
understanding. In August 1948, during the 14th Olympic Games in London, Indian

representative Guru Dutt Sondhi proposed to sports leaders of the Asian teams the idea of
having discussions about holding the Asian Games. They agreed to form the Asian Athletic
Federation. A preparatory committee was set up to draft the charter for the Asian amateur
athletic federation. In February, 1949, the Asian athletic federation was formed and used the
name Asian Games Federation. It was decided to hold the first Asian Games in 1951 in New
Delhi the capital of India. They added that the Asian Games would be regularly held once
every four years.

Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related objects, such as
envelopes or packages with stamps on them. It is one of the world’s most popular hobbies,
with estimates of the number of collectors ranging up to 20 million in the United States
alone. Many casual collectors enjoy accumulating stamps without worrying about the tiny
details, but the creation of a large or comprehensive collection generally requires some
philatelic knowledge. This is especially important for those who intend to spend large
amounts for stamps.

Stamp collectors are an important source of revenue for some small countries that
create limited runs of elaborate stamps designed mainly to be bought by stamp collectors.

The stamps produced by these countries far exceed the postal needs of the countries.
Some collectors, observing the generally rising prices of rare stamps, have taken
to Philatelic Investment. Rare stamps are among the most portable of tangible
investments, and are easy to store. They offer an attractive alternative to art, other
collectible investments, and precious metals.

IX. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions:

The Asian Games takes places every four years. The spirit of the Asian Games has
been built up over a long period of time, spreading the messages of unity, warmth, and
friendship through competitive sport. It helps to establish the relationship among individual
athletes, coaches, trainers, officials, volunteers and spectators who come together from

many different back grounds and cultures.

Just 11 countries and regions with 489 athletes participated in the 1st Asian Games in
New Delhi in 1951, with only six sports. The 15th Asian Games took place from December
1st through December 15th, 2006, in Doha, the capital of Qatar. More than 10,000 athletes
who represented 45 countries and regions took part in 39 sports and 424 events of the
games. Some new events such as chess and triathlon were also included in the Games.
The world records came in shooting and weightlifting with the Asian bests in archery,
athletics, track cycling, shooting, swimming and weightlifting.

However, it wasn’t all about the winning of medals, taking part for some was just as
much of an achievement for them. The Games have been about more than just the
athletes as 16,000 volunteers from 100 countries around the world have worked 100,000
shifts to ensure the 750,000 spectators had an experience of a lifetime.

VIII. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

There is one planet that still fascinates and teases scientists mainly because it doesn't
have an atmosphere to obscure observation, yet it is not big enough for sufficiently

accurate telescopic observation. The fact that it is also very close to the sun also makes it
difficult for astronomers.

</div>
(77)<div class='page_container' data-page=77>

valleys which are uncratered. The moon's valleys have fewer cracks and the ridges are
smoother. Mercury's valleys are filled with volcanic rocks, similar to on the moon, yet there
is no evidence of volcanoes, even extinct ones, on Mercury, as there is on the both Mars
and the moon, and of course here on Earth.

So, scientists presume the valleys on Mercury were caused by different things, that is
to say not by volcanoes, but by very large meteorites, which also caused the cracks in the
terrain and left the ridges rough and uneven. More and better photos of Mercury are
needed to prove what are at present at best only hypotheses.

A. The planet, Mercury B. Observation of planets

B. Because it is too close to the sun;

C. Because it is too small.

D. Because it is difficult for space probes to get close to.

3.What is true about Mercury but not true about the moon or Mars?

A. The valleys are filled with volcanic rocks. B. There are no volcanoes.
C. The valleys are uncratered D. There are hilly regions.
4.What does the author imply space telescopes can do better than land-based
telescopes?

A. Show, the volcanoes on Mercury. B. Show the meteorites which hit Mercury.
C. Show what caused Mercury's valleys. D. Show more of the planet, Mercury.
5.What can we infer from the passage that astronomers still need to get more detailed
observation of Mercury?

A. Better and more space telescopes B. More hypotheses.

C. Larger space telescopes D. More ways to prove hypotheses.

VIII. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions below.

Taj Mahal, a mausoleum in Agra, India, regarded as one of the most beautiful
buildings in the world. The Mughal emperor Shah Jahan had it built in memory of his
wife, Arjumand Banu Bagam, known as Mumtaz Mahal (Persian for "Elect of the
Palace"), who died in 1631.

Building commenced about 1632. The mausoleum was complete by about 1643
and the surrounding complex of buildings and gardens was complete by about 1653.
Situated on the southern bank of the Yamuna River, the white marble mausoleum is
composed of four identical facades, each containing a large central arch 33 m (108 ft)
high. A large bulb-shaped dome, over 73 m (240 ft) tall, rises over the center, with four
smaller domes surrounding it. The building is raised on a square podium with a minaret
at each corner. It is flanked by two red sandstone buildings-a mosque and its replica,
the Jawab (Answer), a building of which the main function is visual balance. Visitors
approach the Taj Mahal through an imposing red sandstone gate, decorated with
inscriptions from the Muslim holy book, the Qur'an (Koran). The gate and
accompanying walls also contain a vast, geometrically laid out garden, 305 m (1,002 ft)
on each side. The enclosed garden, itself a Muslim symbol of paradise, is centered on
a large, raised pool. Canals divide it into four equal parts, each containing flower beds,
fountains, and cypress trees (symbols of death).

Inside theTaj Mahal, the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal stands at the center of an
octagonal hall, while the slightly larger tomb of Shah Jahan, who died in 1666, is off to

one side. Both are elaborately carved and inlaid with semiprecious stones, illuminated
by sunlight filtering through an elaborately carved marble screen that is also studded
with jewels.

VIII. Read the passage carefully and the answer the following questions.

THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH

Buzz Aldrin was a part of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 when man first walked on
the moon. Neil Armstrong went first, followed by Buzz. Nothing in all his training had been
prepared by him for that moment, and he has been traveling the world ever since, reliving
the experience.

He was born in New Jersey in 1930, and he graduated from West Point Military
Academy. He served as a pilot in Korea and West Germany, and 1966 he was chosen an
astronaut.

Apollo 11 was launched to the moon on July 16. Four days later they landed near
the sea of Tranquility. The mission ended on July 24, with a splashdown in the Pacific
Ocean.

On coming back to earth, he became very depressed, and suffered from
alcoholism. He had married for the first time when he was young, and had three children .
His second marriage lasted a very short time. Fortunately, he seems to have found
happiness and stability with his third wife, Loris Driggs Cannon, who saved him from self –
destruction. They now live with their three dogs in California and six cars “for fun”. He has
written his autobiography and a science fiction book, called Encounter with Tiber, which
was published in 1996. He now travels the world, giving lecture tours and raising funds for
space exploration.
