READING COMPREHENSION Read following passage then answer the questions : Last week I made the mistake of visiting the village where I grew up. It was a small, friendly community with two farms and a number of old cottages round the village green. I realized very quickly that although in many ways it appears unchanged, in reality hardly anything is the same. All the pretty cottages are there, of course, and both the picturesque farmhouses. But none of the inhabitants are country people. All of them are commuters, who leave early every morning for the nearby town. Neither of the farmhouses is attached to a farm these days; the land has been sold and is managed by somebody in an office somewhere who has little interest in the village itself . There are a few new houses, but they have no local character; you can see the same style anywhere in the country. The whole of the village, in fact, has been tidied up so much that it has become nothing more than just another suburb. 1. How was the writer’s village ? 2. Are all of the nhabitants country people ? 3. What are the inhabitants in the writer’s village ? D. Writing : I. Rewrite each sentence so that it has the same meaning as one: 1. "Don't repeat this mistake again!" the instructor warned the sports¬man. .................................................................................................................................. 2.

I’ll live in town till my husband returns from the expedition and when he returns, we'll go to the seaside together," she said. .................................................................................................................................. 6.

Man is a land animal, but he closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea provided man with food and convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world’s population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast. In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hopped to supply many of man’s needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive. Oil and gas exploration have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of mineral exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined. Fish farming.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(6)</span> promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by the Oriental people. Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new source of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy. Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved. 1.

READING COMPREHENSION Read the passage, and then choose the correct answer. We are all slowly destroying the earth. The seas and rivers are too dirty to swim in. There is so much smoke in the air that it is unhealthy to live in many of the world’s cities. In one well-known city, for example, poisonous gases from cars pollute the air so much that traffic policemen have to rear oxygen masks. We have cut down so many trees that there are now vast areas of wasteland all over the world. As a result, farmers in parts of Africa cannot grow enough to eat. In certain countries in Asia there is too little rice. Moreover, we do not take enough care of the countryside. Wild animals are quickly 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 ignore. 1. Are we all not destroying the Earth ? 2.

In the United States and its territories alone, there are more than 40 national parks, varying considerably in landscape and mood. Each park was chosen for its unique features, representative of a particular region of the country. Everglades National Park, for example, at the southern tip of Florida, is a huge subtropical swamp, which provides refuge for such unusual reptiles as the alligator and for thousands of varieties of birds, including the graceful pink flamingo. In sharp contrast to the Everglades is the arid, dusty park of the West. Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado, for example, preserves the ruins of an Indian civilization which flourished in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Today, tourists can wander through the awesome cliff dwellings that the Indians carved out of the steep rock. 1. How many national parks in USA ? 2. Where is Everglades National Park ? 3.

Originally, all films were made to be shown in movie theatres. The development of television has allowed films to be broadcast to larger audiences, usually after the films are no longer being shown in theatres. Recording technology has also enabled consumers to rent or buy copies of films on video tapes or DVDs, and Internet downloads may be available and have started to become good sources for the film companies. Some films are now made specifically for TV movies or direct-to-video. These films are often considered not to be as interesting as films that are shown in theatres. And indeed, some films are not enjoyed. The movie theatre pays an average of about 55% of its tickets sales to the movie studio, as films rental fees. Actually, when the film is shown on the first days the theatre has to pay higher price to the movie studio and then the money is decreased after the duration of the film’s showing. According to a study made in 2000, about 26% of Hollywood movie studios’ worldwide income came from box office ticket sales; 46% came from DVD sales to consumers; and 28% came from television broadcast. 1. Where were all films make to be shown ? 2. How many percentage do the movie theatre pay of its tickets sale to the movie studio ? 3. What happens when the film is shown on the first days ? 4.

The FIFA World Cup, sometimes called the Football World Cup or that Soccer World C up, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international football competition contested by the men’s national football teams of member nations of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, due to World War II. However, the event is often on going, as the qualifying rounds of the competition take place over the three years preceding the final rounds. Since 1991, FIFA has also held the Women’s World Cup on the similar four-year schedule. The tournament’s final phase, which is often called the World Cup Finals, involves thirty-two national teams competing at several venues within the host nation or nations over a period of about a month. It is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world, with 1.1 billion people watching the 2002 tournament final. In the eighteen tournaments held, only seven nations have won. Brazil is the most successful World Cup team, having won the tournament five times. The current Cup holder, Italy, follows with four tittles, while Germany holds three. The other former champions are Uruguay and Argentina with two titles each, and England and French with one title each. Only two teams from outside these two continents, Europe and South America, have ever reached the semi-finals of the competition: the USA in 1930 and South Korea in 2002.
