After an absence in thirty years, I decided visiting my old school again. I had expected to find changes,
but no a completely different building. As I walked up the school drive, I wondered for a moment if I had
come to the right address. The grimy, red brick fortress with their tall windows that had looked up grimly
on the playground and playing fields had swept away. In its place stood a bright, modern block risen
from the ground on great concrete stilts. A huge expanse of glass extending across the face of the
building, and in front, there was a well-kept lawn where previous there had been untidy gravel yard.

C. READING (20p)

Question 6: Read the following passage and choose the best answer. Write your answers
in the numbered blanks provided below the passage. (10p)

In addition to the great ridges and volcanic chains, the oceans conceal another form of undersea
mountains: the strange guyot, or flat-topped seamount. No marine geologist even suspected the
existence of these isolated mountains until they were discovered by geologist Harry H. Hess in 1946.
He was serving at the time as naval officer on a ship equipped with a fathometer. Hess named these
truncated peaks for the nineteenth-century Swiss-born geologist Arnold Guyot, who had served on the
faculty of Princeton University for thirty years. Since then, hundreds of guyots have been discovered in
every ocean but the Arctic. Like offshore canyons, guyots present a challenge to oceanographic theory.
They are believed to be extinct volcanoes.Their flat tops indicate that they once stood above or just
below the surface, where the action of waves leveled off their peaks. Yet today, by definition, their
summits are at least 600 feet below the surface, and some are as deep as 8,200 feet. Most lie between
3,200 feet and 6,500 feet. Their tops are not really flat but slope upward to a low pinnacle at the center.
Dredging from the tops of guyots has recovered basalt and coral rubble, and that would be expected
from the eroded tops of what were once islands. Some of this material is over 80 million years old.
Geologists think the drowning of the guyots involved two processes: The great weight of the volcanic
mountains depressed the sea floor beneath them, and the level of the sea rose a number of times,
especially when the last Ice Age ended, some 8,000 to 11.000 years ago.

As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many old ones
were reworked. The legend of Santa Claus, for example, had origins in Europe and was brought
by Dutch settlers to New York in the early 18th_{century. Traditionally, Santa Claus - from the Dutch}
Sinter Klaas - was depicted as a tall, dignified, religious figure riding a white horse through the
air. Known as Saint Nicholas in Germany, he was usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elf
who punished disobedient children. In North America he eventually developed into a fat, jolly old
gentleman who had neither the religious attributes of Saint Nicholas nor the strict disciplinarian
character of Black Peter.

Santa’s transformation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the poem A
Visit from Saint Nicholas, which Clement Clark Moore had written to amuse his daughter. The
poem introduced many Americans to the story of a kindly saint who flew over housetops in a
reindeer-drawn sleigh. Portraits and drawings of Santa Claus by American illustrator Thomas
Nast further strengthened the legend during the second half of the 19th_{century. Living at the}
North Pole and assisted by elves, the modern Santa produced and delivered toys to all good
children. By the late 19th_{century he had become such a prominent figure of American folklore}
that in 1897, when Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the New York Sun newspaper asking if Santa was
real, she received a direct answer: “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus”.

C. READING

PART VIII. Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C, or D to each of the
questions.

Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing the
effects of extreme heat. One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb
the Sun's rays. Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of

maintaining a constant body temperature. Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature
deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert

mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally be fever height, and
temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in Grant's gazelles. The
overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature may
fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel. This is an advantage
since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an
excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day.

Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that
would be fatal for non-adapted animals. The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight
as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of
their body weight. An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at
one drink. Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been
known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes. A very dehydrated person, on the other hand,
cannot drink enough water to dehydrate at one session, because the human stomach is not
sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water
intoxication.

The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do not have to
remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures.
Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated,
it is a common experience in people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate
thirst.

76. What is the main topic of the passage?

A. Weather variations in the desert B. Adaptations of desert animals
C. Diseased of desert animals D. Human use of desert animals.
77. According to the passage, why is light coloring an advantage to large desert animals?

A. It helps them hide from predators. C. It helps them see their young at
night

B. It does not absorb sunlight as much as dark colors. D. It keeps them cool at night.
78. The word "maintaining" is closest in meaning to__________.

A. measuring B. inheriting C. preserving D. delaying
79. The author uses of Grant's gazelle as an example of__________.

</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(23)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=23>

B. an animal that is not as well adapted as the camel

C. a desert animal that can withstand high body temperatures
D. a desert animal with a constant body temperature

80. When is the internal temperature of a large desert mammal lower?

A. Just before sunrise B. In the middle of the day
C. Just after sunset D. Just after drinking
81. The word "tolerate" is closest in meaning to__________.

A. endure B. replace C. compensate D. reduce
82. What causes water intoxication?

A. Drinking too much water very quickly B. Drinking polluted water

C. Bacteria in water D. Lack of water.
83. What does the author imply about desert-adapted mammals?

A. They do not need to eat much food. B. They can eat large quantities
quickly

C. They easily lose their appetites. D. They can travel long distances looking for food.
84. Why does the author mention humans in the second paragraph?

A. To show how they use camels. B. To contrast them to desert
mammals.

C. To give instructions about desert survival. D. To show how they have adapted to
desert life.

85. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an adaptation of large desert animals?
A. Variation in body temperatures B. Eating while dehydrated
C. Drinking water quickly D. Being active at night

PART IX. Read the text below and decide which answer A, B, C or D best fits each space.
When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently (86)________ across words
you do not fully understand. Sometimes you check the meaning in a dictionary and sometimes
you (88)________. The strategy you adopt depends very much upon the (87)________ of
accuracy you require and the time at your disposal.

If you are the sort of person who tends to turn to the dictionary frequently, it is worth
remembering that every dictionary has its (89)________. Each definition is only an
approximation and one builds up an accurate picture of the meaning of a word only after

meeting it in a (90)________ of contexts. It is also important to recognize the special dangers of

dictionaries that translate from English into your native language and vice versa. If you must
use a dictionary, it is usually far safer to (91)________ an English-English dictionary.

In most exams you are not permitted to use a dictionary. (92)________ you are allowed to use
one, it is very time-consuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited. You are,
(93)________, forced to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words.

</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(24)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=24>

Two strategies which may help you guess the meaning of a word are: using contextual clues,
both within the sentence and outside, and making use of clues (95)________ from the

formation of the word.

86. A. put B. drop C. see D. come
87. A. look B. guess C. examine D. inspect
88. A. extent B. range C. degree D. level
89. A. limitations B. values C. advantages D. entry

Traditional, mental tests have been divided into two types. Achievement tests are designed to
measure acquiring skills and knowledge, particularly those that have been explicitness taught.
The proficiency exams required by few states for high school graduation are achievement tests.
Aptitude tests are designed and measure a person’s ability to acquire new skills but knowledge.
For example, vocation aptitude tests can help you decide whether you would do better like a
mechanic or musician. However, all mental tests are in some sense achievement tests because
they assumption some sort of past learning or experience with certainly objects, words, or
situations. The difference between achievement and aptitude tests is the degree and intention
use.

Part III: Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the best
answer among A, B, C or D.

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the
dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged
around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following
the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in
England and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the
course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of
exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. That small
enslaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As
these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international
business, banking, and diplomacy.

Currently, more than 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in
English. Two thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language
of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there
are 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are nonnative speakers,
constituting the largest number of nonnative users of any language in the world.

1. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The number of nonnative users of English.
B. The French influence on the English language.

C. The expansion of English as an international language.
D. The use of English for science and technology.

2. English began to be used beyond England approximately...
A. in 1066 B. around 1350
C. before 1600 D. after 1600

world EXCEPT ...

A. the slave trade B. the Norman invasion
C. missionaries. D. colonization

4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Part IV: Read the passage then choose the best sentences A-K to fill in each gap. There
is one extra sentence which you do not need to use:

BITTER WATER HITS THE BIG TIME

Chocolate, which has its origins in South America, is now part of a multi-million pound
worldwide business.

At Easter, British people spend over $230 million on chocolate. A massive eight per cent of all
chocolate is bought at this time.

(1)____. Although the large scale industrial production of chocolate began in the last century,
the cacao plant was first cultivated by the Aztec, Toltec and Mayan civilizations of Central
America over three thousand years ago.

The cacao tree is an evergreen, tropical plant which is found in Africa, South and Central

America, the West Indies and South East Asia. The fruit of this tree is melon-sized and contains
20-40 seeds. (2)____. In English – speaking countries, they are called cocoa beans. This is a
misspelling from the 17th_{century when they were also called cacoa and cocao beans.}

The Aztecs used cocoa beans as money. (3)____. This is from the world in the Aztec language,
Nahuatl, meaning “bitter water”. (4)____. The Spanish found the drink more palatable mixed
with cinnamon and sugar, but the recipe did not spread to the rest of Europe for another

century. In the late 17th_{century, chocolate houses were set up in Europe’s capital cities, where}
people gathered to drink chocolate.

(5)____. But in 1826, CJ van Houten of the Netherlands invented chocolate powder. (6)____.
The age of the chocolate bar as we know it began in 1847 when a Bristol company, Fry and
Sons, combined cocoa butter with pure chocolate liquor and sugar to produce a solid block that
you could eat. (7)____.

At the turn of the century, the British chocolate market was dominated by French companies. In
1879 the English company Cadbury even named their Birmingham factory Bournville (ville is the
French word for town) in the hope that a little glamour would rub off. But then came Cadbury’s
famous Dairy Milk bar which began life as a Dairymaid in 1905. (8)____.

It seems that, for the time being at least, chocolate intake in Britain has established at about
four bars each week. (9)____. The latest market trick is the so-called “extended line”. This is
when the humble chocolate bar becomes an ice cream, a soft drink or a dessert, to tempt
chocoholics who have grown tired of conventional snacks.

At the other end of the production process, cacao farmers are still feeling the effects of a crash
in cocoa bean prices at the end of 1980s. (10)____. Perhaps you could spare a thought for
them as you munch your next chocolate bars.

A. This was made by extracting most of the cocoa butter from the crushed beans.

B. A Swiss company then introduced milk solids to the process which gave us milk chocolate.
C. They also used them to make a drink called xocoatl.

</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(31)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=31>

E. When dried they become cacao beans, which can be used to make chocolate.

F. Clever advertising which associated it with the healthy qualities of milk from the English
countryside quickly established the bar as a rival to the more decadent French brands.
G. British manufacturers include up to 5 per cent vegetable fat in their chocolate, something
forbidden elsewhere.

H. As most cacao farmers operate on a very small scale, many were forced out of business.
I. This has forced manufacturers to look for new ways to attract customers.

J. In Aztec times the chocolate drink was flavored with spices and used on ceremonial
occasions and for welcoming visitors.

K. Only at Christmas do people eat more of the cocoa-based foodstuffs.
