In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They do some dangerous and

clever. It knows the speed of its owner’s walk. The owner wears a special belt. This belt
sends instructions to the owner from the dog, such as “Stop here”, “Turn left” or “Turn
right”.

themselves in their daily life. The robot hears the sound of its owner’s voice. It follows
instructions such as “Turn the page” or “make a cup of coffee”.

Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can do simple jobs. At one
hospital, for example, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to patient’s rooms. It never
gets lost because this robot has a map of the hospital in its computer memory.

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

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

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.

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.

Americans 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 _______________.

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

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.

was not widespread until the 1960s. In 1961 United States Water Polo established a

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

47. When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth _______________.

A. become hard B. make us feel quite ill

C. begin to decay D. send poison into the blood
48. A lot of people do not visit a dentist until ________________.

A. they have toothache B. they have holes in their teeth
C. they have brushed their teeth D. their teeth grow properly
49. What may be most harmful to our teeth ?

A. red rice B. raw vegetables C. fresh fruit D. sweet
things

A combination of water, salt, air pollution, sun, sand, and wind is destroying the
huge statue just outside Cairo. This five-thousand-year-old statue, which has the body
of a lion and the face of a human being, is too badly damaged to be completely saved.
First, there is not a good drainage system around the statue and too much water has
been running into the stone statue for several years. As a result, tiny pieces of salt
have been left on the stone and have damaged it. Second, air pollution from the
increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is also destroying the ancient statue. The air is
so full of poisonous gases that it is damaging the statue even faster. Third, the statue
is being destroyed by extremes of temperature. The air is very cold at night, but
during the day the stone of the statue becomes very hot under the strong sunlight.
Other natural forces such as severe sandstorms attack the statue as well. Finally, the
tourists who visit the statue every day also cause a lot of damage to it.

46. Which of the following is NOT true about the statue?

A. Part of it looks like a person. B. It is in the center of Cairo.
C. It is very big. D. It is badly damaged.
47. According to the passage, the statue was built ______.

A. 500 years ago B. in the 10th century C. in the 5th century D. 5,000 years ago

48. All of the following are mentioned as causes of damage to the statue EXCEPT
____________.

A. temperature B. fires C. air pollution D. tourists
49. The word “ancient” in the passage mostly means ________________.

A. very old B. very big C. modern D. beautiful
50. It can be inferred from the text that ________________.

A. tiny pieces of salt have been put on the statue to prevent damage
B. there is little damage to the statue

C. the statue was built for entertainment many years ago

D. human beings as well as nature cause much damage to the statue

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 6 to 10.

By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can
considerably increase their children's language development. It is surprising, but true.
How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children's language
development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is
reading, the child's language skills increase.

A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of
the thirty children participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the
control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training

session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-no
questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggy doing?" rather than,
"Is the doggy running away?" Experimental parents were also instructed how to expand
on their children's answer, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise
correct answers.

At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language
development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group were
5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary.
Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6
months over the children in the control group.

6. Parents can give great help to their children's language development by _____ them.
A. adopting B. responding to C. experimenting D. reading to
7. What does the word "they" in the second paragraph refer to?

9: What was the major difference between the control group and the experimental
one in the study?

A. The training that parents received. B. The books that were read.
C. The age of the children. D. The number of participants.
10. What conclusion can be drawn from this passage?

A. Children who read actively always act six months earlier than those who don't.
B. Children's language skills increase when they are required to respond actively.

C. Two or three-year-old children can be taught to read actively.

D. The more children read, the more intelligent they become.
