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 01 to 07.
Many folk cures which have been around for centuries may be more therapeutic than previously suspected. A case in point
is that of penicillin. Alexander Fleming did not just randomly choose cheese molds to study when he discovered this very
important bacteria-killing substance. Moldy cheese was frequently given to patients as a remedy for illness at one time.
Fleming just isolated what it was about the cheese which cured the patients. In parts of South America, a powder obtained
from grinding sugar cane is used for healing infections in wounds and ulcers. This usage may date back to pre-Colombian
times. Experiments carried out on several hundred patients indicate that ordinary sugar in high concentrations is lethal to
bacteria. Its suction effect eliminates dead cells, and it generates a glasslike layer which protects the wound and ensures
healing.
Another example of folk medicine which scientists are investigating is that of Arab fishermen who rub their wounds with a
venomous catfish to quicken healing. This catfish excretes a gellike slime which scientists have found to contain antibiotics: a
coagulant that helps close injured blood vessels, anti-inflammatory agents, and a chemical that directs production of a
gluelike material that aids healing.
It is hoped that by documenting these folk remedies and experimenting to see if results are indeed beneficial, an analysis of
the substances can be made, and synthetic substances can be developed for human consumption.

Question 4: This passage is mainly about......
A. using folk medicines in place of modem medicines
B. the validity of folk remedies and their use for advances in modem medicine
C. antibiotics in the field of medicine
D. isolating antibiotics in cheese, sugar, and slime
Question 5: In what way are cheese molds, sugar, and catfish slime similar?
A. They heal wounds
B. They cause blood clots.
C. They fight bacteria.
D. They eliminate dead cells.
Question 6: The gellike substance which promotes healing comes from.....
A. catfish venom
B. coagulants
C. catfish bodies
D. Arab fishermen
Question 7: According to the passage, why is it important to study folk medicine?

ROOM TO LET
You might think that sharing a flat with other young people is a good idea. But there is one major problem: how to choose
the right people? I’ve had at least 25 flatmates, so I should know. It seemed the sensible thing to do when I moved to London.


Missing my old friends and worried about feeling lonely, I moved in with 13 other people so that I would always have
someone to talk to. I did - my bed was on the landing.
Eventually I was promoted to a room with a door - the airing cupboard. It was just big enough for a single mattress and I
had to leave the door open so I could breathe. Then there was the bathroom rota. Accommodating 14 people before breakfast
needed a military-style operation. We started taking turns at 5.30 and the last person to join the household got the first turn.
The only advantage was that he or she also got all the hot water.

Sadly, the owners threw us out and I had to find a new home fast, which is why I ended up with Gina the circus performer.
When I first met her, she was hanging upsidedown above the stairs. She seemed nice though, and the elegant old building was
ideal. While we were sipping herbal tea and she was questioning me about my diet and political beliefs, I noticed she had lots
of great books I wanted to read. However, things went sour the day I moved in when Gina refused to let me get rid of an army
of ants that had moved into my room. She said that killing was against her religion. So was cleaning the bath. As if that
wasn’t enough, she left a note on the fridge, where we usually left messages about phone calls and milk, stating her intention
to murder me with poison. I moved out in the middle of the night.
After that I ended up with some student doctors and was happy enough until we all caught a mysterious illness. It was at
this point I broke my self-made rule. After sharing a student house with two friends in Oxford - a period that ended in a fistfight over fruit juice - I had decided I would never again put a friendship to the phone-bill test. But of course I couldn’t afford
a one-bedroom flat in central London so I agreed to get a place with a very neat and tidy friend from school.
The house we found had three bedrooms, a washing machine and a nice little garden. We moved in at once. I got the
smallest bedroom because I wasn’t going out with anyone, but my new flatmates promised we would swap round within six
months. That was 18 months ago. I’m still in the small room and my belongings are still in boxes on the landing, though one
of the original girls has been replaced by a banker.
What we had advertised for was a female non-smoking professional, but anyone who looked even slightly interesting had
always found a better place by the time we decided that they wouldn’t steal our boyfriends.The banker got in by promising
that being male hadn’t made him incapable of washing dishes and cleaning. He lied, of course.
There are, though, advantages to the flat-sharing life. If you can forgive them for drinking the last of your milk, you get
captive shoulders to cry on. If you can forget about the ring around the bath, your CD collection instantly gets three times
bigger - though you won’t want to listen to most of it. You get three minds to remember to put out the rubbish. Three ways to
split the rent. And, unlike a partner, your flatmates won’t care if you wear those old clothes all weekend.
In fact, on a good day I wouldn’t be without mine. Unless I could afford a place of my own.

B. she wanted to live in a modern flat.

A. He had a lot of money. B. He was the kind of person they had advertised for.
C. He said he would do housework.
D. He was the writer’s boyfriend.
Question 41: Why did she move in with her friend?
A. Living alone would be too expensive.
B. She had decided only to live with friends.

B. There is only one person with the skill required for this project, and that is Mike.

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 42 to 48.
Many folk cures which have been around for centuries may be more therapeutic than previously suspected. A case in point
is that of penicillin. Alexander Fleming did not just randomly choose cheese molds to study when he discovered this very
important bacteria-killing substance. Moldy cheese was frequently given to patients as a remedy for illness at one time.
Fleming just isolated what it was about the cheese which cured the patients. In parts of South America, a powder obtained
from grinding sugar cane is used for healing infections in wounds and ulcers. This usage may date back to pre-Colombian
times. Experiments carried out on several hundred patients indicate that ordinary sugar in high concentrations is lethal to
bacteria. Its suction effect eliminates dead cells, and it generates a glasslike layer which protects the wound and ensures
healing.
Another example of folk medicine which scientists are investigating is that of Arab fishermen who rub their wounds with a
venomous catfish to quicken healing. This catfish excretes a gellike slime which scientists have found to contain antibiotics: a
coagulant that helps close injured blood vessels, anti-inflammatory agents, and a chemical that directs production of a
gluelike material that aids healing.
It is hoped that by documenting these folk remedies and experimenting to see if results are indeed beneficial, an analysis of
the substances can be made, and synthetic substances can be developed for human consumption.

Question 42: This passage is mainly about......
A. antibiotics in the field of medicine
B. using folk medicines in place of modem medicines
C. isolating antibiotics in cheese, sugar, and slime
D. the validity of folk remedies and their use for advances in modem medicine

ROOM TO LET

You might think that sharing a flat with other young people is a good idea. But there is one major problem: how to choose
the right people? I’ve had at least 25 flatmates, so I should know. It seemed the sensible thing to do when I moved to London.
Missing my old friends and worried about feeling lonely, I moved in with 13 other people so that I would always have
someone to talk to. I did - my bed was on the landing.
Eventually I was promoted to a room with a door - the airing cupboard. It was just big enough for a single mattress and I
had to leave the door open so I could breathe. Then there was the bathroom rota. Accommodating 14 people before breakfast
needed a military-style operation. We started taking turns at 5.30 and the last person to join the household got the first turn.
The only advantage was that he or she also got all the hot water.
Sadly, the owners threw us out and I had to find a new home fast, which is why I ended up with Gina the circus performer.
When I first met her, she was hanging upsidedown above the stairs. She seemed nice though, and the elegant old building was
ideal. While we were sipping herbal tea and she was questioning me about my diet and political beliefs, I noticed she had lots
of great books I wanted to read. However, things went sour the day I moved in when Gina refused to let me get rid of an army
of ants that had moved into my room. She said that killing was against her religion. So was cleaning the bath. As if that
wasn’t enough, she left a note on the fridge, where we usually left messages about phone calls and milk, stating her intention
to murder me with poison. I moved out in the middle of the night.
After that I ended up with some student doctors and was happy enough until we all caught a mysterious illness. It was at
this point I broke my self-made rule. After sharing a student house with two friends in Oxford - a period that ended in a fistfight over fruit juice - I had decided I would never again put a friendship to the phone-bill test. But of course I couldn’t afford
a one-bedroom flat in central London so I agreed to get a place with a very neat and tidy friend from school.
The house we found had three bedrooms, a washing machine and a nice little garden. We moved in at once. I got the
smallest bedroom because I wasn’t going out with anyone, but my new flatmates promised we would swap round within six
months. That was 18 months ago. I’m still in the small room and my belongings are still in boxes on the landing, though one
of the original girls has been replaced by a banker.
What we had advertised for was a female non-smoking professional, but anyone who looked even slightly interesting had
always found a better place by the time we decided that they wouldn’t steal our boyfriends.The banker got in by promising
that being male hadn’t made him incapable of washing dishes and cleaning. He lied, of course.
There are, though, advantages to the flat-sharing life. If you can forgive them for drinking the last of your milk, you get
captive shoulders to cry on. If you can forget about the ring around the bath, your CD collection instantly gets three times
bigger - though you won’t want to listen to most of it. You get three minds to remember to put out the rubbish. Three ways to
split the rent. And, unlike a partner, your flatmates won’t care if you wear those old clothes all weekend.
In fact, on a good day I wouldn’t be without mine. Unless I could afford a place of my own.

Question 40: She moved out because Gina......
A. threatened to kill her.
B. was always cleaning the bath.
C. was cruel to animals.
D. refused to pay the telephone bill.
Question 41: Why did she move in with her friend?
A. Living alone would be too expensive.
B. They had already shared a flat in Oxford.
C. The one-bedroom flat was big enough for two.
D. She had decided only to live with friends.
Question 42: The newest person in the flat had to......
A. wash with cold water.
B. go without breakfast.
C. get up very early.
D. wash after breakfast.
Question 43: She moved in with Gina because......
A. she was in a hurry to find somewhere to live.
B. she wanted to live in a modern flat.
C. Gina worked in a circus.
D. Gina did not ask her any personal questions.
Question 44: Why did the writer share a flat when she moved to London?
A. There were twenty-five people to talk to.
B. She went there with friends.


C. She had a big room all to herself.
D. She wanted to have company,
Question 45: Why is she still in the smallest bedroom?
A. It is part of the agreement she made,
B. Her flatmates broke their promise.

C. She now has a boyfriend.
D. It is big enough for her and her things.
Question 46: Why did they let the banker move in?
A. He said he would do housework.
B. He was the writer’s boyfriend.
C. He was the kind of person they had advertised for.
D. He had a lot of money.

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 17 to 23.
Many folk cures which have been around for centuries may be more therapeutic than previously suspected. A case in point
is that of penicillin. Alexander Fleming did not just randomly choose cheese molds to study when he discovered this very
important bacteria-killing substance. Moldy cheese was frequently given to patients as a remedy for illness at one time.
Fleming just isolated what it was about the cheese which cured the patients. In parts of South America, a powder obtained
from grinding sugar cane is used for healing infections in wounds and ulcers. This usage may date back to pre-Colombian
times. Experiments carried out on several hundred patients indicate that ordinary sugar in high concentrations is lethal to
bacteria. Its suction effect eliminates dead cells, and it generates a glasslike layer which protects the wound and ensures
healing.
Another example of folk medicine which scientists are investigating is that of Arab fishermen who rub their wounds with a
venomous catfish to quicken healing. This catfish excretes a gellike slime which scientists have found to contain antibiotics: a
coagulant that helps close injured blood vessels, anti-inflammatory agents, and a chemical that directs production of a
gluelike material that aids healing.
It is hoped that by documenting these folk remedies and experimenting to see if results are indeed beneficial, an analysis of
the substances can be made, and synthetic substances can be developed for human consumption.
Question 17: This passage is mainly about......

A. isolating antibiotics in cheese, sugar, and slime
B. antibiotics in the field of medicine
C. using folk medicines in place of modem medicines
D. the validity of folk remedies and their use for advances in modem medicine

A. They eliminate dead cells.
B. They cause blood clots.

A. To advance modem medical practices.
B. To document cultural heritages.

You might think that sharing a flat with other young people is a good idea. But there is one major problem: how to choose
the right people? I’ve had at least 25 flatmates, so I should know. It seemed the sensible thing to do when I moved to London.
Missing my old friends and worried about feeling lonely, I moved in with 13 other people so that I would always have
someone to talk to. I did - my bed was on the landing.
Eventually I was promoted to a room with a door - the airing cupboard. It was just big enough for a single mattress and I
had to leave the door open so I could breathe. Then there was the bathroom rota. Accommodating 14 people before breakfast
needed a military-style operation. We started taking turns at 5.30 and the last person to join the household got the first turn.
The only advantage was that he or she also got all the hot water.
Sadly, the owners threw us out and I had to find a new home fast, which is why I ended up with Gina the circus performer.
When I first met her, she was hanging upsidedown above the stairs. She seemed nice though, and the elegant old building was
ideal. While we were sipping herbal tea and she was questioning me about my diet and political beliefs, I noticed she had lots
of great books I wanted to read. However, things went sour the day I moved in when Gina refused to let me get rid of an army
of ants that had moved into my room. She said that killing was against her religion. So was cleaning the bath. As if that
wasn’t enough, she left a note on the fridge, where we usually left messages about phone calls and milk, stating her intention
to murder me with poison. I moved out in the middle of the night.
After that I ended up with some student doctors and was happy enough until we all caught a mysterious illness. It was at
this point I broke my self-made rule. After sharing a student house with two friends in Oxford - a period that ended in a fist-


fight over fruit juice - I had decided I would never again put a friendship to the phone-bill test. But of course I couldn’t afford
a one-bedroom flat in central London so I agreed to get a place with a very neat and tidy friend from school.
The house we found had three bedrooms, a washing machine and a nice little garden. We moved in at once. I got the
smallest bedroom because I wasn’t going out with anyone, but my new flatmates promised we would swap round within six

months. That was 18 months ago. I’m still in the small room and my belongings are still in boxes on the landing, though one
of the original girls has been replaced by a banker.
What we had advertised for was a female non-smoking professional, but anyone who looked even slightly interesting had
always found a better place by the time we decided that they wouldn’t steal our boyfriends.The banker got in by promising
that being male hadn’t made him incapable of washing dishes and cleaning. He lied, of course.
There are, though, advantages to the flat-sharing life. If you can forgive them for drinking the last of your milk, you get
captive shoulders to cry on. If you can forget about the ring around the bath, your CD collection instantly gets three times
bigger - though you won’t want to listen to most of it. You get three minds to remember to put out the rubbish. Three ways to
split the rent. And, unlike a partner, your flatmates won’t care if you wear those old clothes all weekend.
In fact, on a good day I wouldn’t be without mine. Unless I could afford a place of my own.
Question 24: Why did they let the banker move in?
A. He said he would do housework.
B. He was the writer’s boyfriend.
C. He was the kind of person they had advertised for.
D. He had a lot of money.

B. The one-bedroom flat was big enough for two.

Question 27: She moved out because Gina......
A. threatened to kill her.
B. refused to pay the telephone bill.
C. was cruel to animals.
D. was always cleaning the bath.

Question 28: Why is she still in the smallest bedroom?
A. It is big enough for her and her things.
B. She now has a boyfriend.
C. Her flatmates broke their promise.
D. It is part of the agreement she made,
Question 29: The newest person in the flat had 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 from 44 to 50.
Many folk cures which have been around for centuries may be more therapeutic than previously suspected. A case in point
is that of penicillin. Alexander Fleming did not just randomly choose cheese molds to study when he discovered this very
important bacteria-killing substance. Moldy cheese was frequently given to patients as a remedy for illness at one time.
Fleming just isolated what it was about the cheese which cured the patients. In parts of South America, a powder obtained
from grinding sugar cane is used for healing infections in wounds and ulcers. This usage may date back to pre-Colombian
times. Experiments carried out on several hundred patients indicate that ordinary sugar in high concentrations is lethal to
bacteria. Its suction effect eliminates dead cells, and it generates a glasslike layer which protects the wound and ensures
healing.

Another example of folk medicine which scientists are investigating is that of Arab fishermen who rub their wounds with a
venomous catfish to quicken healing. This catfish excretes a gellike slime which scientists have found to contain antibiotics: a


coagulant that helps close injured blood vessels, anti-inflammatory agents, and a chemical that directs production of a
gluelike material that aids healing.
It is hoped that by documenting these folk remedies and experimenting to see if results are indeed beneficial, an analysis of
the substances can be made, and synthetic substances can be developed for human consumption.
Question 44: According to the passage, why is it important to study folk medicine?
A. To experiment with synthetic substances.
B. To advance modem medical practices.
C. To perpetuate superstitions.
D. To document cultural heritages.
Question 45: This passage is mainly about......
A. the validity of folk remedies and their use for advances in modem medicine
B. isolating antibiotics in cheese, sugar, and slime
C. antibiotics in the field of medicine
D. using folk medicines in place of modem medicines
Question 46: The word "eliminates" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to......
A. cleanses
B. disposes of
C. excretes
D. kills off
Question 47: It can be inferred from the Message that Alexander Fleming......
A. isolated infectious patients.
B. suspected medicinal properties of mold.
C. enjoyed eating cheese.
D. discovered moldy cheese.
Question 48: The gellike substance which promotes healing comes from.....
A. catfish bodies

B. catfish venom
C. Arab fishermen
D. coagulants
Question 49: In what way are cheese molds, sugar, and catfish slime similar?
A. They fight bacteria.
B. They heal wounds
C. They cause blood clots.
D. They eliminate dead cells.
Question 50: The word "therapeutic"in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to......
A. traditional
B. medicinal
C. physiological
D. psychological
