SECTION THREE. READING (12 pts.)
Question 1. Fill each gap in the passage with one suitable word (5 pts)
Last Wednesday, Mary went to a concert with her friend Julia. The concert- hall was on the
other side of the town and so they decided to (1) ... home early. They caught the
bus and arrived long (2) ... the concert was due to start. There was a café nearby
so they went in. Mary ordered a sandwich and coffee but Julia decided to have a hot meal.
While they were waiting to (3) ... served, Mary looked (4) ... her
handbag for the tickets to check what time the concert (5) ... begin.
To (6) ... dismay, she discovered that the tickets were not there! Then she
remembered that she (7) ... left them on the table at home. She told Julia (8)
...had happened and said she would go home to get the tickets. She promised to
be (9) ... before the concert started.
Mary rushed (10) ... of the café and went to the bus-stop to catch a bus back to
her house. Unfortunately, she had just (11) ... a bus and she (12) ...
to wait a long time for (13) ...one. She was just beginning to despair (14)
... she saw a taxi, which she signalled to stop. Giving her address to the driver,
she jumped (15) ..., and fifteen minutes later she was home. “Wait for me,” she
said and ran into the house. Mary picked (16) ... the tickets from the table and the
taxi-driver drove her straight back to the café.
Julia had just finished her meal. Together they hurried out of the café and walked quickly to the
concert-hall, (17) ... they arrived hot and (18) ... of breath. Mary
showed the tickets to the man at the door, (19) ... looked at them carefully and
then (20) ... them back. “I’m sorry,” he said. “”These are for next Wednesday.”
Question 2. Read the text and Table 1 below. Complete this text with these words
plus of where necessary (2.5 pts)
a great deal few many most twelve times
a third fewest more ninety per cent two-thirds
I read several studies about dating. In one American study, the researchers asked a
large number of college students about arranging a date. They focused on dates arranged by
women (see Table 1). (1) ……….. the students preferred hints. In a hint, for
example, the woman mentions that she has noticed something about the man or seen him
somewhere. If he talks to her, she can pay (2) ……….. attention to him and act as
if he is very interesting. Then maybe she can say that she’d like to talk to him again. These
types of hints were preferred by about (3) ……….. the students.
</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(6)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=6>
This may be one of the (6) ……….. reasons why students think it is hard to get a
date.
Another reason may be their different opinions about asking directly. “Asking directly”
was chosen by the (7) ……….. women. More men, almost (8)
……….. them, liked this approach. In fact, in another study I read, (9)
……….. college men said that if they were asked directly, they would say “Yes.”
An example of asking directly was: “I have some tickets for a concert. Would you like to go with
me?” In my opinion, this example may not provide reliable evidence about dating. The man may
want to go to the concert and say, “Yes,” but he may not like the woman. Is this a date? I don’t
think so. I believe that we need (10) ……….. these studies to find out if men and
women define “date” in the same way.
Table 1
If a woman is interested in going on a date with a man, the best thing for her to do is
………….
Men agree Women agree
... ask him directly 30% 2%
………. give him a hint 67% 63%
……….. wait for him to ask her 3% 35%

Strange results
In September 1982, Dr. Joe Farman, a British scientist working in the Antarctic, found that a
dramatic change had taken place in the atmosphere above his research station on the ice
continent. His instrument, set up to measure the amounts of a chemical called ozone in the
atmosphere, seemed to go wild. Over just a few days they recorded that half the ozone had
disappeared.
0 D
He couldn’t believe his eyes, so he came back to Britain to get a new instrument to check his
findings. But when he returned the following year at the same time, the same thing
happened. He had discovered a hole in the ozone layer- an invisible shield in the upper
atmosphere- that turned out to extend over an area of the sky as wide as the United States
and as deep as Mount Everest is high. When he published his findings in scientific journals,
they caused a sensation. Scientists blamed pollution for causing the ozone hole.
1
The ozone layer is between 15 and 40 kilometres up in the atmosphere, higher than most
aero planes fly. This region contains most of the atmosphere’s ozone, which is a special form
of the gas oxygen.. Ozone has the unique ability to stop certain dangerous invisible rays from
the sun from reaching the Earth’s surface- rather like a pair of sunglasses filters out bright
sunlight. These rays are known as ultra-violet radiation. This damages living cells, causing
sunburn and more serious diseases. The ozone layer is vital to life on the surface of the
Earth.

</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(8)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=8>
3
But now humans are damaging the ozone layer for the first time. In the past ten years,
scientists have discovered that some man-made gases, used in everything from refrigerators
and aerosols to fire extinguishers, and floating up into the ozone layer and destroying the
ozone. The most common of these gases are called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
4
The damage is worst over Antarctica, and near the North Pole, where scientists have seen
small holes appear for a short time each spring since 1989. So far, these holes have healed
up again within a few weeks by natural processes in the atmosphere that create more ozone.
But each year, it seems to take longer for the healing to be completed. Also, all round the
planet, there now seems to be less ozone in the ozone layer than even a few years ago.
5
The first new international law to stop people making or using CFCs was the Montreal
Protocol, agreed by most of the world’s governments in 1987, Since then, there have been
new controls on other chemicals that destroy ozone. The problem is that it takes roughly
eight years for CFCs, which are released when an old fridge is broken up, to reach the ozone
layer. That is why, despite all the cuts, ozone holes were deeper than ever around both the
North and South Poles in 1993. Amounts of CFCs in the atmosphere will continue to rise for
anther five years, say scientists.
6
Every year, the atmosphere will attempt to repair damage to the ozone layer caused by our
pollution. But we are stretching its capacity to recover to the limit. If we stop using all
ozone-destroying chemicals within the next five years, it is likely to be at least the middle of the
21st<sub> century before the ozone hole stops forming over Antarctica each year. And, if we are to </sub>
survive, we all have to face the problem now.

THE FUTURE OF COMPUTERS
1 It is becoming more and more difficult to imagine what our life would be like without
computers. They have become essential everywhere: air travel depends on them, the
publication of books and magazines depends on them, most communication systems cannot
function without them. Computer chips even control your fridge, ___________________ (A).
2 Computers can already recognize people’s voices, fingerprints and even eyes. They can
make calculations a million times faster than the human brain. They can store vast amounts of
information and “remember” it within seconds. They can read out texts for people with eyesight
problems. _____________________ (B) They can produce films, music and artwork. They can
play chess and defeat human chess champions.
3 Still, computers are not able to think creatively and cannot feel. They depend on human
programmers and, although they can evaluate information according to logical rules, these rules
have to be programmed into them. No computer is capable of having an original thought,

that by then, ___________________________ (D). The machines of the future will be able to
think and feel just as humans do: they will be able to feel happy or sad and to express their
thoughts and feelings whenever they want to.

are true (T) or false (F) according to the information in the passage.
EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE
Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the way we
communicate. Today’s college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a library to learn about
their field. Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality they can participate in
lifelike simulated experiences. Consider the following scenario of the future of education made
possible through developments in information technology.
For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory.
Some of the older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or
instruction from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from home.
Students must complete a minimum number of study hours per year; however, they may make
up these hours by studying at home at times that suit their family schedule. They can log on
early or late in the day and even join live classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each
student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of
hours a week each student studies on-line as well as that students’ learning materials and
assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and teachers. The software can then
identify the best learning activities and conditions for each individual student and generate
similar activities. It can also identify areas of weak achievement and produce special programs
adjusted to the student’s needs.
1. If students are under 10, they won’t have to go to school on a daily basis.
2. Sometimes students go to school to pay their tuition fees.
3. There are some requirements about the learning hours that students must complete in a
year.
4. There is no way to find out whether students are learning adequately.
5. Students can be provided with learning programs that best suit them.

Walt Whitman, born in New York in 1819, was one of America’s unusual literary figures.
An individualist, he rambled through the country seeing people and places, and making them
his own. His experiences in earning a living were varied: at times he was a printer, a teacher, a
carpenter, a nurse and a newspaper editor. He was a big-hearted man, open and accepting. He
spent a lot of his time caring for the wounded during the Civil War. Though he lived in the city,
he often spent time in the country, developing his strong sense of nature, which carried through
his poems. In 1855, he collected the verses he had written, and published them in one thin
volume, “Leaves of Grass”, a book which he revised and was generally ignored by other poets,
probably because his verse forms were not traditional. He had felt that it was necessary to
achieve a new poetic form in order to communicate his views. His reputation didn’t grow until
after his death, and it reached a high point in the 1920s. Since then, Whitman’s style has
greatly influenced modern poets.

Section three : Reading
Question 1: Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing A, B, C
or D which you think is correct.
The sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that
convert hydrogen to helium. The sun has existed in its present state for about 4 billion, 600
million years and is thousands of times larger than the earth.
By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what of the rest of the Sun's life will be like.
About 5 billion years from now, the core of the sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface
temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of
thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun will expand appropriately 35 million
miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the Sun. The Sun will be
then a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too hot for life to exist.
Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shirk. After it
shirks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The Sun may throw off huge
amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosion as it changes from a red giant to a
white dwarf.
After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have lost its heat. Such a star is called a
black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If any
atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen onto the Earth's surface.
</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(37)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=37>

C. To present a theory about the red giant stars.
D. To describe changes that the Sun will go through.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun
A. It approximately haftway through its life as a yellow dwarf.
B. has been in existence for 10 billion years.
C. is rapidly changing in size and brightness.
D. will continue as a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years.
3. What will probably be the first stage of change as the Sun becomes a red giant?
A. Its core will cool off and use less fuel
B. Its surface will become hotter and shrink.
C. It will throw off huge amounts of gases.
D. Its center will grow smaller and hotter.
4. According to the passage, which of the following best describes the sequence of the stages
that the Sun will probably pass through?
A. Yellow dwarf, white dwarf, red giant, black giant.
B. Red giant, white dwarf, red dwarf, nova explosion.
C. Yellow dwarf, red giant, white dwarf, black dwarf.
D. White dwarf, red giant, black dwarf, a yellow dwarf.

A. our own planet
B. The outer surface of the Sun
