Passage 6:

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of
exercise. It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient
muscles and a stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of
cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it’s a good form
of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it’s
important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage
muscles that aren’t used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for
health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for his/her advice.

Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be
doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose
your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart.
This is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right

effect. However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.

A. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet

Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at
different times. Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people
can react differently to the music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music
we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a positive effect will probably
not make him feel good. A happy song might appear to make an angry person angrier,
yet it is not the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of
the music. The angry person does not want to accept the song's happy feeling: it points
out his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to the surface. When a piece
of music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being
affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece
understood the effects of music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a
whole science that concerned them. Because the musicians of these ancient cultures
understood these effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and beneficial.

Once the effects of music are better understood, the next step is to gain a better
understanding of the music around us, and what effect it is actually having.

1. The text is about_____.

A. The science of music
B. Understanding music

C. The effects of music on human feelings
D. Music and an angry person

2. Music_____.

A. cannot be chosen B. affects everybody in the same way
C. affects us in different ways D. never make us angry

3. According to the text,_____.
A. Everybody likes jazz

B. Jazz always makes us feel better
C. No one likes jazz

D. A very angry person sometimes do not accept music

4. In ancient cultures, there used to be a science that concerned the effects of music
in_____.

A. China B. India
C. Turkey D. Greece

5. The word "Once" has a close meaning to_____.

A. on time B. when C. because D. if

Passage 9:

Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To
generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be
installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their
own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages.
Wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down.
Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require
little maintenance and have a long lifetime.

However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy
during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large
area to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice
as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are
expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more

people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy.

1. What does the passage primarily discuss?

A. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.

B. Solar energy’s advantages over other sources of energy.
C. The cost of solar energy.

D. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels.
2. What does the word they in line 4 refer to?

A. solar energy users. B. other renewable resources.

C. advantages. D. solar cells.

3. What is NOT mentioned as an advantage of solar cells?

5. Which of the following is the main disadvantage of solar energy mentioned in the
passage?

A. It is expensive. B. Solar cells require large areas to operate.
C. It is unfriendly to the environment. D. It depends on sunlight.

Passage 10:

When you enter the supermarkets, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles
between the shelves. You push a shopping cart and put your food in it.

You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk along the aisles. If you hear fast
music, you walk quickly. The supermarket plays slow music, you walk slowly and have
more time to buy things.

Maybe you go to the meat department first. There is some meat on sale, and you
want to find it. The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter the meat
department. The cheaper meat is at the other end of the meat department, away from where
the customers enter. You have to walk by all the expensive meat before you find the
cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.

The dairy department sells milk and milk products such as butter and cheese. Many
customers like milk that has only little butterfat in it. One store has three different
containers of low fat milk. One says ‘1% fat’ on the container. The second says ‘99 percent
(99%) fat free’. The third says ‘Low fat’ in big letters and 1% in small letters. As you can
see, all the milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is all the same. The amount of milk
in each container is also the same. However, in this store they cost three different amounts
of money. Maybe the customers will buy the milk that costs the most.

1. What is the main topic of this passage?
