The countryside is more beautiful than a town and more pleasant to live in. many people think so, and go to the countryside for the summer holidays though they cannot live there all the year round. Some have a cottage built in a village so that they can go there whenever they can find the time. English villages are not alike, but in some ways they are not very different from one another. Almost every village has a church, the round or square tower of which can be seen from many miles around. Surrounding the church is the churchyard, where people are buried. The village green is a wide stretch og grass, and houses or cottages are built round it. Country life is now fairly comfortable and many villages have water brought through pipes into each house. Most villages are so close to some small towns that people can go there to buy what they can’t buy in the village shops. 1. When do city people often go to the country? A. At the weekends. B.

In the USA, Mother’s day started in 1860s. There was a small town called Prunty town in the middle of the USA. People in the town fought against each other during a war. After the war, they. hated each other. Mrs. Ann Reeves Janis wanted the people to make friends with each other again. So she started “Mother’s friendship day”.

Read the following passage, and dicide the statements are True or false. Once there were lots of pandas in the mountain of Western China. Today they are becoming extinct. The reason is that they cannot find enough food. Pandas eat bamboo leaves. They do not like another food. The bamboo grows very slowly. It can take 10 years for a bamboo grow from a seed to a big plant. Some types of banboo have seeds every 60 years. Pandas must wait many years for their food to grow. While the bamboo is growing, pandas do not hane enough leaves to eat. Farmers are using more and more of the land on the mountain side to grow food for man. The farmers cut down the bamboo. Bamboo leaves become less plentiful. Pandas cannot find enough food to eat. They starve and die. China and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) are trying to save the pandas. In 1979 they began to set up special parks where pandas live. One such park is the Wolong Reserve in Sichuan. The Wolong Reserve has the highest number of pandas in the world. Scientists come here to study the panda’s eating and mating habits. By learning more about the panda’s habits, scientists can save it from extinction. 1. ……….

<span class='text_page_counter'>(62)</span> II. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage. Today I’d like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up of the earth. First, we’ll touch on the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that the ozone layer is the protective shield around the earth. It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light frm the sun. ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly destroyed by narural chemical processes. The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientiest suspect that cetain chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we use fluorocarbons? The most common uses are in spay cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from these fluorocarbons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are, however, new studies linking the sun itselfto the depletion of the ozone layer. We’ll go into that new study more next time. 1. Who is the most likely speaker? A. A doctor B. A mechanic C. A professor D. A chemist 2. What is the speaker’s main topic? A. Ultraviolet light B. The use of spray cans C. Air-conditioning systems D. Fluorocarbons and the ozone layer 3. What is the most important purpose of the ozone layer? A. Providing fluorocarbons. B. Protecting the earth C. Shielding the sun D. Destroying chemicals 4. What is the ozone layer made of? A. Fluorocarbons B. Shields C. Oxygen D. Ultraviolet light 5. What will the speaker probably discuss next? A. How to make air conditioners with fluorocarbons. B. Harmful effects of ultraviolet light.. C. The make-up of the ozone layer. D. The sun as a cause of ozone layer depletion. III. Choose the word or phrase that best fits the blank space in the following passage. Everyone wants to reduce pollution. But the pollution ( work, problem, accident, event) is as complicated as it is serious. It is complicated (because, so, that, while) much pollution is caused by things that benefit people. Foe example, (exhaust, fire, gas, liquid) from automobiles causes a large percentage of all pollution. But the autobile (carries, takes, affords, provides) transportation for millions of people. Factories ( offer, bring, dischange, cause) much of material that pollutes air and water, but factories give employment to a large number of people. Thus, to end ( to, or, so, that) greatly reduce pollution immediately, people would have to stop using many things that ( benefit, harm, motivate, encourage) them. Most people do not want to do that, of course. But pollution can be ( little, gradually, so, that) reduced in several ways. Scientists and engineers can work to find ways to lessen the amount of pollution that such things as automobiles and factories cause. Governmnents can pass and enforce laws that ( require, forbid, prevent, request) businesses and ( commercials, surroundings, individuals, traffic) to stop, or cut down on certain polluting activities. IV. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best fits the blank space in the following passage. Air pollution occurs when wastes dirty the air.

READING COMPREHESION I. Choose the word or phrase that best fits the blank space in the following passage. There are now increasing concern about the world’s energy (possessions, resources, goods, materials) particularly about those involving fossil (fuels, powers, forms, energies) . in less than a hundred years we shall probably (end, complete, total, exhaust) all the present (findings, productions, amounts, sources) of oil and gas. The world’s coal (reserves, stores, mines, contents) should last longer but, once used, these cannot be (updated, repeated, renewed, produced) . it is important, therefore, that we should develop such (traditional, alternative, revolutionary, surprising) sources of energy as solar as well as water and wind (force, strength, power, motion), classed as (repeatable, continual, renewable, continuous) energy. Until these energy (goods, supplies, provisions, materials) are widely used, it is important for the developed countries to reduce energy consumption as much as possible. II. Choose the item that best answers the question about the passage. In some rural agricultural societies, the collection of available fuel such as firewood, dung cake, and agricultural waste can take 200 to 300 person-days per year. As well as being time consuming, the typical patterns of collection lead to deforestation., soil erosion, and ecological imbalances. In the future, experts pridict that even if food suppliers are adequate for rural populations, fuel supplies for demestic use many not be. In the light of such considerations, a hteam in India has developed a solar oven for home use. The oven is cheaply constructed; easily operated, and extremely energy efficient. The divice consists of an inner and outer metal box, a top cover, and two panes of plain glass..

<span class='text_page_counter'>(69)</span> The inner boix is painted black to absorb maximum solar radiation. The space between the two boxes is filled with an insulating material, such as rice husks, which are easily available and which, because of their high silicon content, neither attract insects nor rot heasily. Other easily available materials for insulation are ground nutshells or coconut shells. An adjustable mirror mounted on one side of the oven box reflects the sunlight into the interior, boosting the jtemperatures by 15-30 degrees Celsius. This is most useful during the winter when the sun is lower. Inside the oven, a temperature between 80 and 120 degrees Celsius above ambient temperature can be maintained. This is sufficient to cook gradually but surely. Trials have shown that all typical food dishes can be prepared in this solar divice without loss of taste or nutrrition. 1. This passage is mainly about: A. deforestation in the rural agricultural societies B. use of rice husks in an insulating material C. design and use of a solar oven D. maintenance of temperature in a solar oven 2. Which one of the following reason is NOT mentioned for using rice husks as insulating material? A. They are easily available. B. They don’t attract insects. C. They don’t rot easily. D. They reflect sunlight. 3. According to the passage, the use of an adjustable mirror increase the oven temperature by: A. 80-120 degrees Celsius B. At least 80 degrees Celsius C. Up to 30 degrees Celsius D. Up to 15 degrees Celsius 4. Where would this kind of oven be most useful? A. on a camping trip B. in a busy restaurant C. in a rural community D. in a cold wintry climate. 5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a typical fuel in parts of rural agricultural societies? A. firewood B. solar power C. dung cake D. agricultural waste III. Choose the word or phrase that best fits the blank space in the following passage. We are all slowly destroying the earth. The seas and rivers are (very, too, much, enough) dirty to swim in. There is so much smoke in the air that it is (enjoyable,pleasant, healthy, unhealthy) to live in many of the world’s cities. In one well-known city, for example, (poisonous, serious, bad, smoke) gases from cars pollute the air so much that traffic policemen have to (take, bring, wear, carry) oxygen masks. We have to cut down (so, much, too, enough) many trees that there are now vast areas of (forests, wasteland, fields, regions) all over the world. As a (fact, matter, problem, result), farmers in parts of Africa cannot grow enough to eat. In certain nation in Asian, there is too (little, few, much, fewer) rice. Moreover, we do not take enough (attention, care, time, consideration) of the countryside. Wild animals are quickly (saved, preserved, running, disappearing). For instance, tigers are rare in India now because we have killed too many for them to survive. However, it isn’t enough simply to talk about the problem. We must act now before it is too late to do anything about it. Join us now. Save the earth. This is too important to do. IV. Choose the item that best answers the question about the passage.
