Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was
desperately in need of reform. Private schools existed, but only for the very rich. There were very
few public schools because of the strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be laborers
should not “waste” their time on education but should instead prepare themselves for their life’s
work. It was in the face of this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task.
Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a
republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As Superintendent of Education in the state of
Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other
school districts around the country. He extended the school year from five to six months and
improved the quality of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries.

Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they
at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening of the system.

because _______________.

A. education at the time was so cheap

B. people had nothing else to do except go to school

C. Massachusetts residents needed something to do with their spare time
D. all citizens should be educated in a republic

8. The word “reformers” in the passage mostly means _______________.
A. people who work for the government

B. people who really enjoy teaching

C. people who try to change things for the better
D. people who believe that education is wasted

9. From 1837 to 1848, Horace Mann _______________.

A. worked as a headmaster in a school in the state of Massachusetts
B. raised money for the educational development in Massachusetts

C. funded many projects to improve the educational system for Americans
D. managed education in the state of Massachusetts

The 22nd SEA Games were held in Hanoi, Vietnam from 5 December to 13 December, 2003.

The Games were opened by Vietnamese Prime Minister Phan Van Khai in the newly constructed
My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi. The Games torch was lit by Nguyen Thuy Hien of Wushu. It
was the first time in the SEA Games history that the Games venues were assigned into two cities
namely Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

The 22nd SEA Games logo designed by painter Nguyen Chi Long is based on a legendary bird
named “Chim Lac”. The bird decorated the Ngoc Lu bronze drum, a typical antiquity of the ancient
Dong Son Vietnamese culture. The Emblem is composed of harmonious and vigorous curves,
creating a feeling of movement and strength which conforms to the Olympic Spirit: “Faster, Higher
and Stronger”. The colorful whirls represent the tough competitiveness in sports

The Games’ hymn was “For the World of Tomorrow,” composed by Nguyen Quang Vinh.
Painter Nguyen Thai Hung chose “Trau Vang”, the golden water buffalo as the mascot for the 22nd
SEA Games. With a gentle and harmonious nature, the clever Buffalo has become synonymous
with the water and rice civilization that is so important in Vietnam as well as in other Southeast
Asian countries. To Vietnamese people, the Golden Buffalo symbolizes a golden harvest,
prosperity, happiness, power and the Vietnamese martial spirit.

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 from 41 to 45.

Traditions, sayings, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up our
culture. Culture is the framework in which families are structured. It shapes our expectations and
ideals. Culture plays a part in the meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives, children
and parents.

Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important. Culture

affects the roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and the number of children
a couple have, the meaning of divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing, and the way
parents raise children. Understanding how relationships and marriages vary across cultural
contexts, and how they are similar, we will be able to identify the unique ways that marriages and
family life affect people of various cultures. As a result, we will be able to help families and sustain
happy marriages.

A cross cultural marriage or similar love relationship can be extremely exciting. The cultural
background, visits to the other country, the language of the country and learning to speak it, the
different habits and ways of doing and saying things that people from other cultures have, are all
very exciting indeed. What are the disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or love relationship
with someone from another country or cultural background? No matter how much you love your
husband or wife, no matter how high your level of cross cultural awareness, cross cultural
communication and respect for differences, misunderstandings seem to be unavoidable.

In 1782, the bald eagle was chosen as the national bird of the United States because it is a bird
of strength and courage, and was found all over North America and only in North America.

But a little over 200 years later, the bald eagle had almost disappeared from the country. In
1972, there were only 3,000 bald eagles in the entire United States. The reason for the bird's
decreasing population was pollution, especially pollution of the rivers by pesticides. Pesticides are
chemicals used to kill insects and other animals that attack and destroy crops. Unfortunately, rain
often washes pesticides into rivers. Pesticides pollute the rivers and poison the fish. Eagles eat these
fish and the poison affects their eggs. The eggs have very thin shells and do not hatch. Eagles only
lay only two or three eggs a year. Because many of the eggs did not hatch and produce more eagles,
the number of eagles quickly became smaller.

Today, the American government and the American people are trying to protect the bald
eagle. The number of bald eagles is increasing. It now appears that the American national bird will
survive and remain a symbol of strength and courage.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

Water polo originated in England during the 1870s and soon became popular in the United

States. It was first played in the Olympic Games as a men’s exhibition sport in 1900. In 1904 it
became a men’s medal sport, but only the United States fielded a team. In 1908 it was contested
internationally at the Olympics. Over the succeeding decades water polo became especially popular
in Europe.

From approximately 1920 to 1946 the United States departed from the international rules
for water polo by adopting for play a loosely inflated ball that could be gripped in one hand and
carried toward the goal. Opposing players usually attempted to seize the ball carriers, wrestle them
under water and render them helpless from loss of breath. This rough style of play virtually
disappeared by 1946. Since that time traditional water polo has grown rapidly in North America,
especially as a college sport. It is particularly popular in southern California and other parts of the
West.

Women have played water polo since the Game’s early days, but participation was not
widespread until the 1960s. In 1961 United States Water Polo established a national club
championship for women. It has hosted one for men since 1980. Women’s water polo became an
Olympic medal sport at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia.

TELEVISION

Here in Egypt, television has a powerful hold over people’s minds. It is an instrument of
leisure, of information and- to a very limited extent- of culture. It does not stop people reading
newspapers or books, going to the cinema or theatre or watching videos. But these activities are
occasional, irregular and ultimately of secondary importance. Television is one of the main subjects
of conversation, at school, in offices, at home and in the street, as well as being written about in all
the newspapers.

It might be said that main objective of television is to persuade the maximum number of people
to watch it for the maximum amount of time. And how effectively the sitcoms and soap operas do

V. READING- COMPREHENSION:

</div>
(82)<div class='page_container' data-page=82>

THE PEARL by John Steinbeck is the retelling of a story about a fisherman who finds a huge pearl,
realizes that the discovery is destroying his life and returns the pearl to the sea. It is told in a style
so authentic that readers feel they are hearing the story from one of the villagers who know all the
characters. In spite of its simplicity; however, there are several levels to enjoy in THE PEARL.

Some critics have pointed out that the author showed his great respect for the natural
environment, and that this book was really his statement about the dangers of creating serious
damage to it. When the fisherman throws the pearl back into the sea, he is doing something useful
in his effort to prevent the habitat destruction. In fact, Steinbeck was a member of an expedition to
explore marine life along the coast of California when he heard the story of the “pearl of the
world”. Other critics have suggested that this work is the struggle between the good and the bad.

Although the fisherman has dreamed of buying peace and happiness with the pearl, he realizes that
these spiritual gifts are beyond price. They can not be bought.

It is true that Steinbeck’s work has won popularity among the readers. Perhaps everyone
takes his own meaning from this story and reads his own life into it.

25. THE PEARL is written by . . .

a. a fisherman b. a villager c. John Steinbeck d. a member of
an expedition

All around the world, there are many endangered animals, largely because of human
progress. As the world’s population grows, humans move into new areas, create more pollution,
and use more natural resources. This all puts pressure on animals, which cannot really compete
with humans. An excellent example of this would be the case of the leatherback sea turtle.

At 6.5 meters long, and up to 600 kilograms, the leatherback is the largest turtle on Earth. It
is also one of the most endangered. Scientists do not know the exact number of leatherbacks
because they spend their entire lives at sea. This makes them very difficult to count. But female
leatherbacks come on land to lay their eggs. From the number of nests that scientists find, they can
estimate the number of turtles. The numbers do not show a good future for the leatherback. At one
beach, scientists counted over 10,000 egg nests in 1954. In 1993, there were only 50 nests at the
same beach. Scientists think that the leatherback population is perhaps only 1% of what it was just
50 years ago. Human development over the last 50 years is undoubtedly the reason for this.

25. Based on the information in the passage, the term endangered animals can be best explained
as

---A. a kind of turtle B. animals caught in fishing nets
C. animals with very low numbers D. animals in areas where humans live

26. According to paragraph 1, humans pressure the animals in all of the following ways EXCEPT

---A. by adding to pollution B. by moving into new areas
C. by killing the animals D. by using natural resources
27. The word them in line 7 refers to ---.

A. scientists B. leatherbacks C. nests D. eggs

28. According to paragraph 2, why is it difficult to count the numbers of leatherback turtles?
A. They swim very fast. B. They are scared of humans.

C. Their nests are hard to find. D. They spend most of their lives in the sea.
29. The word estimate in line 8 is closest in meaning

to---A. study B. guess C. count D. catch

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They
also help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the
enamel covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there.
Then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we
may feel quite ill.

How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He
can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to
check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have
toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and
fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day - once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We
can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat
food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice,
raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when
we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
46. Good teeth mainly help us to ____________________.

A. look nice B. chew our food C. look important D. have good eyesight

A. become hard B. make us feel quite ill

C. begin to decay D. send poison into the blood

A. they have toothache B. they have holes in their teeth

C. they have brushed their teeth D. their teeth grow properly

50. The best title for the passage would be __________________.

development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5

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 from 31 to 35.

Will people still read books 100 years from now? A few years ago, many people would
have said no. It seemed likely that computers and the Internet would replace books. Now, however,
most experts think that books are here to stay.

There are a number of reasons why computers will not replace books entirely. One reason is that
books on paper are much cheaper than computers. And books do not need a power source. You can
read a book for as long as you want and wherever you want. You never have to worry about losing
power. Also, many people feel more comfortable reading words in a book than reading words on a
computer screen because it is less tiring to the eyes.

Will books in the future be exactly the same as the books you can buy today? The answer to
that question is no. In the future, you may only need to buy one book. With this one book, you will
be able to read novels, plays, and newspapers. It will look like today's books, but it will be

electronic.

One of the people working on the book of the future is Professor Joseph Jacobson from
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Jacobson's electronic book will have a small
button on the side. When you press the button, words will instantly appear on the page. When you
want to read a different story, you can push the button again and a new story will quickly appear.
31. The phrase “are here to stay” in the first paragraph mostly means ______________.

</div>
(102)<div class='page_container' data-page=102>

A. Reading today’s books needs a power source.

B. Reading words on computer screens is tiring to the eyes.
C. In the future, computers will replace paper books completely.
D. Books will disappear completely sooner or later.

33. What will the book of the future look like?

A. It will look like a book you buy today. B. It will look like a computer.

C. It will look different from today's books. D. We don't know what it will look like.
34: The button on the side of the electronic book is used _______________.

A. to turn a light on and off B. to change what you read

C. to turn the power on and off D. to make the book more beautiful
35. What is the main topic of the passage?

A. The decline of today's books. B. How to use an electronic book.
