F. The right attitude
G. Moving off
H. Holding your body correctly
I. How it all started
1……….
Ice skating has a history of thousands of years. Archaeologists have discovered skates made
from animal bone. It seems that bone skates were used until the introduction of iron into
Scandinavia about the year 200 AD. Among the Scandinavian upper classes, skating was seen
as an essential skill.
2. ……….
In the early twentieth century, skating was stylish and reserved, but at the 1924 Winter
Olympics, 11-year-old Sonja Hinnies introduced a more athletics attitude which inspired a new
wave of popularity. Nowadays art and athletics are combined and modern skating is both
graceful and physically demanding.
</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(5)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=5>
For beginners, balance and control are all important and speed can only increase with
proficiency. The position of your body plays a great part in balance. Legs slightly bowed and the
knees bent keep the body weight centered; in effect the body leans slightly forward in this
position. For skating, probably more than any other sport or recreation, relaxation is vital.
4. ……….
For the skating position, the heels should almost be touching and the feet should be turned out
wards. While pushing toward with a back foot, you make a very small movement with the other
foot. Fairly easy, isn’t it? If you can keep this up for a while, you can then slowly increase the
length of your movements as you gain experience.
5. ……….
Knowing how to fall must be learnt among the skater’s first skills. Even the best of the
professionals fall. In order to fall without injury, you should be as relaxed as possible. In this
way the sock of hitting the ice is lessened. To get up, use your hands to get into a kneeling
position, then stand.
6. ……….
One you have learnt to move on the ice with confidence, there are various styles to be
practised-figure skating, free styles, distance, speed, skating pairs, and so on- but the basics of
them all, and by far the best approach, it first to learn figures can soon be learn figure skating
and then elementary freestyle. With proper guidance available at most of the ice rinks, the basic
figures can soon be learnt and the turns, jumps, and spins or elementary free style will so
follow.
7. ……….
If you look at any good of professional skater, you will see how relaxed they are and how easily
they move. To achieve this, an exercise program should be regularly practised. It can be
dangerous to skate with a stiff body and warm up exercises should at least include those for the
legs, back and shoulders, with special emphasis on the ankles and the knees. After a long or
intense session, the same exercises should be used afterwards to avoid stiffness.
8……….
Skating improves balance, co-ordination, relaxation and movement. It improves heart and lung
activity and generally strengthens the body. Combined with swimming or jogging, it provides a
great program for all-round health and fitness.
PART 3: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Write A, B, C
or D to indicate your answers on the answer sheet. ( 10 points)
</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(6)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=6>
The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the
more distant Sun. In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the
outermost star of the universe. In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be
obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. Just as the Moon rises
later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is
correspondingly later each day. And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the
height of the tide varies. The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the
sky, and when it is full. These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar
month and are called the spring tides. At these times the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in
line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the
beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors.
Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon and Earth lie at the
apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the
moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference between high and low
water is less than at any other time during the month.
1. What is the main point of the first paragraph?
A. The waves created by ocean currents are very large.
B. Despite the strength of the wind, it only moves surface water.
C. Deep ocean water is seldom affected by forces that move water.
D. The tides are the most powerful force to affect the movement of ocean water.
2. The words "In reality" in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. surprisingly B. actually C. characteristically D. similarly
3. It can be inferred from the passage that the most important factor in determining how much
gravitational effect one object in space has on the tides is
A. size B. distance C. temperature D. density
4. The word "configuration" in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. unit B. center C. surface D. arrangement
5. Neap tides occur when
A. the Sun counteracts the Moon's gravitational attraction
B. the Moon is full
C. the Moon is farthest from the Sun
D. waves created by the wind combine with the Moon's gravitational attraction

Students learning English as a second language are sometimes given a word by

in other words, to provide a __2__ (define). The __3__ (assume) is that if you know
a word, you can define it. __4__ (logic), that might make sense, but in reality it is
not always __5__ (reason) to assume that. There are words and phrases that even
native speakers use in conversation without much __6__ (think) which can lead to
__7__ (confuse) when you ask a native speaker to define them. Take the __8__
(conceive) of ‘zeitgeist’, for example, which has entered English from German. It’s
__9__ (doubt) much easier to use than it is to define. With a word like ‘zeitgeist’ it
may be more __10__ (sense) to test the student’s understanding in ways other than
asking them to define it.

Part III. You are going to read a newspaper article about ancient rock art. Choose the
answer A, B, C or D which you think fits best according to the text then write your
answers in the box given.
Tens of thousands of ancient pictures carved into
the rocks at one of France’s most important
tourist sites are being gradually destroyed.
Scientists and researchers fear that the 36.000
drawings on rocks in Mont Bego in the French
Alps are being damaged so rapidly that they will
not survive for future generations.
The mountain, believed to have once been a site
for prayer and worship, is scattered with 4,000
year-old drawings cut into bare rock. They include
pictures of cows with horns, cultivated fields and
various gods and goddesses. But as the popularity
of the site increases, the pictures are being ruined
by thoughtless graffiti.
Jean Clottes is the chairman of the International
Committee on Rock Art. He says, “People think that
because the picture have been there so long they
will always continue to be there. But if the damage
continues as this rate there will be nothing left in 50
years.”
He describes seeing tourists stamping on the
drawings, wearing away the rock and definition of
the artwork as they do so. Some visitors, he says,
even chop off parts to take home as souvenirs
“When people think they can’t take a good enough
photograph, they rub the drawings to get a clearer
picture,” he said. “The drawings are polished by the
weather, and if the sun is shining and the visitors
preventing the public from going there except
on guided tours. Otherwise, he says, not only
will the site be completely destroyed but
important research work will be reduced.
Clottes disagrees. “The measure proposed by
Henry de Lumley is the most severe, and
while it is the most effective, it is also certain
to bring about protests from people who live
there,” he said. “The site was classified as a
historic monument years ago by the Ministry
of Culture, and we must do as much as
possible to save what is there.”
</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(20)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=20>
can’t see them properly they simply rub and scrape
them to make them look fresher.”
Other researchers describe hoe people arrive
carrying long sticks with sharp ends to scratch their
own drawings, or even their names, in the rock.
But experts are divided over the best way to
preserve the drawings. Henry de Lumley, director
of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, believes
that the only way to save the site is to turn the whole
mountain into a “no-go” area,
rapidly. She thinks that the only solution is to
rope off the area and provide guides. “You
can’t say the plan can’t go ahead because
there is no money,” he said. “That is not good
enough. Money must be provided because
the Ministry of Culture has classified this area
as a historic site. If we don’t take steps, we will
be responsible for losing the drawings for the
next generation.”

QUESTION IV. Reading (30 points)
A. Read the text below and then answer the questions 1 - 8 (10 points)
The World and Its Global Economy
The world as man knows it today is getting smaller and smaller because of technology such as
the Internet and high speed modems. In fact, on March 3, 2005, a man flew entirely around the
globe without refueling or stopping in a one-person jet. The world is changing the world, and as
the 21st<sub> century continues, the global economy will play a larger and larger role. As Thomas </sub>
Friedman so eloquently put it in Lexus and the Olive Tree, globalization is "the inexorable
integration of markets, nation-states, and technologies to a degree never witnessed before."
A With today's technology it is possible for people to solicit business from the far side of the
globe. B A company like Dell Computers can order parts from several different countries, take
shipment in North Carolina where the new computers will be assembled, and then ship them to
all regions of the globe . C An American oil firm can do a satellite survey in Siberia for oil deposits
and then contract with a Russian oil firm to drill the actual well, while the petroleum engineer,
acting as the project supervisor, remains in the US and runs the project by using a computer, a
high speed Internet connection, and a cellular telephone for quick questions. D
A global economy poses some serious problems. If a company doesn't act fast enough, it can
lose, and if the company loses heavily, what will happen to the employees working for the
company, and then in turn what will happen to the stores that depend on those employees buying
their goods? As can be seen, there is a definite trickle-down effect. How is the child who is about
to graduate from high school supposed to decide on what career field to enter? A career field that
is here today might be gone long before the child can graduate from college, so not only does it
become vital that a person gain the needed knowledge to enter a given career field, but the
person also needs to learn how to learn. Learning how to learn may prove to be even more
necessary than the knowledge needed to enter a given career field. A person who is good at
learning how to learn can quickly adapt to changes in the global economy by quickly preparing to
enter other career fields if his job is here today, but gone in the morning.
If the world turns into a global economy, a person will need to be able to get along and work with
people from different cultural backgrounds. However, unless a person has spent time living in
different parts of the world, this might be hard to do. While many students from foreign countries,
especially the Asian countries, come to the US to earn a graduate degree, how many students
from the US spend even a semester abroad studying in another country? The answer to this
question is of course a very small percentage.
</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(33)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=33>
On the positive side, as prices rise due to increased demands on scarce resources, there will be
an incentive to find affordable alternatives. For example, as the price of oil rises and along with it
the price of a gallon of gasoline, a point will be reached at which people are no longer willing to
purchase gasoline so they can drive their cars, and they will demand both alternative
transportation methods and cars which use another source of energy. A current online survey
says $2.50 per gallon of gasoline is the point at which the people in the US will start making
demands on the auto manufacturer, which will open up new career fields in a few countries that
have the technology needed to meet the demands; however, people around the globe will work
together on it.
1. The word “inexorable” in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. upward B. recent C. inevitable D. preposterous
2. The word “solicit” in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. lure B. sell C. help D. ask for
3. According to par.2, what can be inferred about the role of a project supervisor?
A. To make sure the project is finished correctly and on time
B. To hand-check each of the steps in a project
C. To assign each of the items that needs to be done in a project
D. To talk to everyone on a daily basis
4. According to the passage, people need to learn how to learn, otherwise
A. they will not move from the first grade to the second grade in elementary school
B. they will not be able to work in the same job throughout college
C. they will not be able to switch from one career to another as the global economy changes
D. they will not be able to graduate from college and become a member of the global economy
5. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the underlined
sentence in
the passage?
A. The mass media are like a witch stirring her cauldron.
B. The mass media always report the truth since this keeps the ratings up and brings in
the most
advertising revenue.
C. The mass media will report half-truths if it will keep their ratings up so they can sell
advertising
D. The mass media report every angle of a story since reports are apolitical and never
present
only one viewpoint.
</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(34)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=34>
project the car as a symbol of wealth.
C. The media slant the stories, so it will appear to viewers that only wealthy people own a
car.
D. The members of the media don't own cars, so they are jealous of those wealthy people
who do
own cars
7. Look at the four squares [■] in par.2 that indicate where the following sentence could be added
to
the passage.
E-businesses will be the lucrative businesses in the future since they are available to
everyone
with an Internet connection.
Where would the sentence best fit?
8. Directions: An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below.
Complete the summary by selecting the THREE answer choices that express the
most important ideas in the passage. Some sentences do not belong in the
summary because they express ideas that are not presented in the passage or are
minor ideas in the passage.
The Internet and technology are making the world a smaller and smaller place
today, and this is creating a global economy.

A. As Thomas Friedman so eloquently put it in Lexus and the Olive Tree, globalization is "the
inexorable integration of markets, nation-states, and technologies to a degree never
witnessed before,"
B. A global economy poses some serious problems and if a company doesn't act fast enough,
it can lose, and if the company loses heavily, the employees working for the company and
the stores that depend on those employees buying their goods can go out of business.
C. A person who is good at learning how to learn can quickly adapt to changes in the global
economy by quickly preparing to enter other career fields, if his job is here today but gone
in the morning.
D. A career field that is here today might be gone long before the child can graduate from college, so it becomes vital.
E. People are always going to be willing to pay any price they need to pay in order to buy
something they want, which is why the price of gasoline will not be a factor in the global
economy.
F. Individuals from some foreign countries, some individuals from the US and the US economy
will adjust to globalization, but the real question is, how is the rest of the world going to react
to living in a global economy?
