Many people buy and use copied programs for the computer. This illegal copying of computer
software has become a huge industry because the software is much cheaper than the original
programs. Illegal software can be found on sale in any part of the world, although it is more
readily available in Asia than in Western countries. Software manufacturers have been trying to
get governments to stop this copying or “printing”. In an attempt to get rid of “software pirates”,
police have seized software from stores and fined the owners. This has been partially

computer owners risk damaging their computers. Illegally copied software can carry computer
viruses which could wipe out information stored on the computer’s hard driver.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on the answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.

Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.
Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When
there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which
motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort
to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and
exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.

Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or

unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod
signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.

were feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and blacks. A number
of male abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips also supported the
rights of women to speak and participate equally with men in anti- slavery activities. Probably
more than any other movement, abolitionism offered women a previously denied entry into
politics. They became involved primarily in order to better their living conditions and the
conditions of others.

in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women. Discouraged but
resolved, feminists influenced more and more women to demand the right to vote. In 1869, the
Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but eastern states resisted more

Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before
reading. Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often
needs jumping forward or backward to process information). They also relate important points

to one another. Also, they activate and use their prior knowledge. When they realize that their
understanding is not good, they do not wait to change strategies. Last, they can monitor
understanding and take action to correct or “fix–up” mistakes in comprehension.

Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills.
They tend to assume a passive role in learning and rely on others (e.g, teachers, parents) to
monitor their studying. For example, low – achieving students often do not monitor their
understanding of content, they may not be aware of the purpose of studying, and they show
little evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up”strategies to fix understanding problems.
Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unware that they must extent
beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it. Children with learning
disablilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be

disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as
well. Thay often have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments, following directions,
and completing work on time. Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a
flexible yet purposeful manner, low – achieving students use a restricted range of skills. They
can not explain why good study strategies are important for learning, and they tend to use the
same, often ineffective, study approach for all learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure of
difficulty.

Question 36: What is the topic of the passage?

A. Successful and low – academic achieving students.
B. Successful learners and their learning strategies.
C. Study skills for high school students.

D. Effective and ineffective ways of learning.

Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding
natural resources. We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only
source of environmetal damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of
harmful production practices. We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas
would improve the quality of the environment. Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the
remaining waste, which is abondoned and poorly stored. It represents an even bigger danger
because it stands neglected as it degrades and leaks into the earth without any control at all.
Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can effect all levels of an
ecosystem. It can effect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the

availability of food up through the food chain. It can damage the health of wetlands and damage
their ability to support healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm
water runoff. The health of animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in
contaminated water. In addition, water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and
concentrate contaminants in their bodies. When other animals or humans eat these organisms,

they receive a much higher dose of contaminants than they would have if they had been directly
exposed to the original contamination.

</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(26)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=26>

Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their
roots. Ingesting, inhaling, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that
have accumulated soil contaminants can adversely impact the health of humans and animals.
Air pollution can cause breathing – related problems and other bad health effects as

contaminants are absorbed from the lungs into other parts of the body. Certain air contaminants
can also harm animals and humans when they contact the skin. Plants rely on breathing for
their growth and can also be effected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air.

Question 43: What is the topic of this passage?
A. Sources of environmental damage.

B. The pollution from the city.
C. Bad effects of industrial waste.
D. The quality of the environment.

Question 44: According to the passage, the industry is likely to be thought as ________.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C,or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and
Europe,recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new
ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a
second time. The motto of the recycling movement is"Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".

The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs,
boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots
of packaging: usually paper,a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People
should try to buy things that are wrapped simply,and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to
reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When low quality appliances break, many

customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy.
For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the
manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a
product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers.
To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.

</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(30)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=30>

practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from
throwaway bottles.

The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned
and used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to
make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect
and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
Question 13: What is the main topic of the passage?

A. how to reduce garbage disposal

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a
disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest
mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his
parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to
children.

However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents
are very supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his
parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons
for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother
knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he
never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael’s
friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too
high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they
enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win.
Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and
unhappy.

Question 36: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to _____.
A. push their child into trying too much

B. help their child to become a genius
C. make their child become a musician
D. neglect their child’s education

Question 37: Michael Collins is fortunate in that ______.
A. his father is a musician

B. his parents are quite rich

C. his mother knows little about music
D. his parents help him in a sensible way.

Question 38: The phrase "crazy about" in the passage mostly means ______.
A. "surprised at"

B. "extremely interested in"
C. "completely unaware of"
D. "confused about"

Question 39: The word “They” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. competitions

B. concerts

C. Michael’s parents
D. Michael’s lessons

Question 40: The two examples given in the passage illustrate the principle that _______.
