One day we were expecting forty members of a football team for lunch. I was given the job of peeling potatoes. I thought I was managing quite well with my small knife until the owner appeared to see how I was getting on. She was amazed that I was using a knife and asked why I wasn't using the potato peeler. I had no idea what a potato peeler was so she let me into a small room behind the kitchen. There, on the table, was a small machine like the rubbish bins some people have in their bathrooms. She explained as if to a small child that I had to put the potatoes in, close the lid and press the button. When she came back ten minutes later, I told her I thought it was quicker to do it by hand.

She asked what I meant. "Well, they aren't ready yet," I replied. You can imagine how I felt when she lifted the lid and took out the potatoes the size of peas. The potato peeler was not automatic.

A B C D C. READING COMPREHENSION V.Read the text carefully and then choose the best option: REMEMBER? Your mind's ability to bring back experiences you have had is your memory. There are two kinds of remembering, recall and recognition. For instance, you may not be able to recall the poem you read yesterday in class, but if you see it again, you will know it instantly because you recognize it.

Some few people have 'total recall,' often spoken of as photographic memory. A person with total recall can recite a whole page of a book he has read only once, or play a musical composition after hearing it once. This is very unusual, however, and most people have difficulty in remembering even names they heard the day before.

This is not because most people lack the ability to remember, but because they had not paid much attention to what they heard. They felt no personal reasons to remember. Having a personal reason for remembering is one of the most important factors in a good memory.

When you have a strong reason for remembering, concentrate as you read or listen, and try to connect the new information to things you I already know. A detail is easy to remember when it fits into a whole that makes sense.

If you understand the entire history lesson before you try to remember any particular dates, your memory may surprise you.

35/ While not directly stated, it may be inferred from the article that ________.

A. details are more easily remembered by fitting them into a whole B. recall and recognition are the same thing C. wanting to do a thing is very important to being able to do it D. if he will try hard enough, one man can remember as well as Mother 36/ This article as a whole tells us about ________.

A. people who can remember whole pages B. people who can't remember names C. our memory and how to improve it D. recognition and recall 37/ A person with photographic memory is ________.

A. can only remember things if he looks at a photograph B. can remember every detail of what he sees or hears C. can be found in mental hospitals D. brings his camera everywhere he goes 38/ One way to improve our memory is ________

D.READING COMPREHENSION: IV.Read the following passage, then choose the item (A, B, C or D)that best answer question: Completing a marathon is considered very difficult, but many coaches believe that it is possible for anyone who is willing to put in the time and effort. Obviously, most participants do not run a marathon to win. More important for most runners is their personal finish time and their placement within their specific age group and gender. Another very important goal is to break certain time barriers. For example, ambitious recreational firsttimers often try to run the marathon under 4 hours; more competitive runners will attempt to run under 3 hours.

Many runners then prefer to finish for example in 3:29:59, which makes them “sub-3:30h marathoners”, instead of 3:30:01. For most runners, the marathon is the longest run they have ever attempted. Many coaches believe that the most important element in marathon training is the long run. Recreational runners commonly try to reach a maximum of about 20 miles in their longest weekly run and about 40 miles a week in total when training for the marathon. More experienced marathoners may run a longer distance. During marathon training, adequate recovery time is crucial. If fatigue or pain is felt, it is recommended to take a break for a couple of days or more to let the body heal. Overtraining is a condition that results from not getting enough rest to allow the body to recover from difficult training. It can actually result in a lower endurance and speed and place a runner at a greater risk of injury.

47/ A marathon completion is ___________.

A. impossible B. easy C. not very difficult D. very difficult 48/ One of the important goals in a marathon competition is ___________.

A. breaking time barriers B. age C. gender D. reaching the finish 49/ In marathon training, the most important is __________.

The Census Bureau’s latest calculations imply that population growth will continue into the 21st century, although more slowly. The world’s population is thought to grow from 6 billion in 1999 to 9 billion by 2042, an increase of 50 percent that will require 43 years.

The world’s population growth rate rose from about 1.5 percent per year from 1950 to 1951 to a peak of over 2 percent in the early 1960s due to reductions in the numbers of deaths. After that, the rate started to drop because of the rising age at marriage as well as increasing availability and use of effective contraceptive methods. Note that changes in population growth have not always been steady. A decline in the growth rate from 1959- 1960, for instance, was due to the Great leap Forward in China. During that time, both natural disasters and decreased agricultural output caused China’s death rate to rise sharply and its fertility rate to fall by almost half.

45/ In 1959-1960, the population growth rate in China______________.

A. was unchanged B. was steady C. increased rapidly D. decreased 46/ After the early 1960s, the population growth rate decreased due to ______________.

World population totaled about 500 million in 1650. It doubled in the period from 1650 to 1850. Today the population is more than 5 billion. Estimates based on research by the United Nations indicate that it will more than double in the twenty-live years between 1975 and the year 2000. reaching seven billion by the turn of the century.

No one knows the limits of population that the earth can support. Thomas Malthus, an English economist, developed a theory that became widely accepted in the nineteenth century. He suggested that because world population tended to increase more rapidly than food supply, a continual strain was exerted upon available resources. Malthus cited wars, famines, epidemics, and other disasters as the usual limitations of population growth.

With recent advances in science and technology, including agricultural methods and great strides of medicine, some of the limiting factors in population growth have been lessened, with obvious results. International organizations have recommended programs to encourage general economic development in target areas along with a decrease in birth rates to affect a lasting solution.

39/ According to the passage, what was the world population in 1850?

ST VALENTINE’S DAY St Valentine’s Day is celebrated on 14th February. Today, St Valentine’s Day provides a chance to let someone know you are interested in them, or for a secret admirer to declare his or her love to you Our present-day Valentine customs come from a mixture of pagan and Christian tradition and ancient folk beliefs. St Valentine was probably a priest killed on 14th February in the time of the Roman Emperor Claudius in the third century AD. He became known as the saint of lovers because he performed forbidden marriage ceremonies for Roman soldiers.

But the Romans had celebrated 14th February for centuries as Lupercalia. This was a fertility festival when young people tried to find a partner. In one eighteenth-century Valentine custom, a man chose a girl’s name from a hat.

The name he chose gave the name of his future wife and he wore the name pinned to his shirt sleeve for the next few days.

The first known Valentine card was sent in 1415 when a French duke, who was locked in the Tower of London, sent the first rhyming love-letter to his wife. Valentine cards first went on sale in the early nineteenth century.

50/ According to the passage, what is not true about Valentine’s Day? A. It is a chance for you to show your interest in someone.

B. It is celebrated on 14th February C. It offers a chance for someone to declare his or her love to the person he or she admires.

D.It is time to find future husbands or wives.

51/ Why did Saint Valentine become a saint of lovers?

A. He was killed on 14th February.

B. He performed forbidden marriage ceremonies for Roman soldiers.

C. He attended marriage ceremonies of Roman soldiers.

Scientists believe they now have scientific evidence to prove that ecosystems work better when there is greater variety of species within them. This biodiversity is being lost destroying natural mechanisms that could repair the damage caused by man.

Findings show that losing plants and animals is not only reducing our quality of life but actually endangering our very existence. We cut down rich rainforests and replace them with one species plantations, such as pine and eucalyptus. We plough up meadows Page 33

rich in different grasses and herbs and replace them with one grass, for instance rye or wheat.

When a natural ecosystem is simplified the basic processes in the ecosystem are altered and even damaged. Without their biodiversity they are not able to serve as the natural clearners of our planet. No longer are they able to absorb the carbon dioxide that is being produced in excess. The result is global warming, caused by the increase in the 'greenhouse effect', and ultimately, or even 'sooner, there will be' a change in the world's climate.

At present, people depend on unlimited energy to power their everyday lives. A wide range of energy-run devices and modern conveniences are taken for granted, and although it may seem that we will never be in danger of living without those conveniences, the fact is that many supplies of energy are dwindling rapidly.

Scientists are constantly searching for new sources of power to keep modern society running. Whether future populations will continue to enjoy the benefit of abundant energy will depend on the success of this search.

Coal, oil, and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of its power.

However, not only are supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. If the energy demands of the future are to be met without seriously harming the environment, existing alternative energy sources must be improved or further explored and developed. These include nuclear, water, solar, wind, and Page 36

geothermal power, as well as energy from new, nonpolluting types of fuels. Each of these alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.

Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they pose the daunting problem of what to do with nuclear wastes. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for communities located far from moving water. Harnessing energy from tides and waves has similar drawbacks.

Solar power holds great promise for the future but methods of collecting and – concentrating sunlight are as yet inefficient, as are methods of harnessing wind power.

Every source of energy has its disadvantages. One way to minimize them is to use less energy. Conservation efforts coupled with renewable energy resources, such as a combination of solar, water, wind, and geothermal energy and alternative fuels, such as alcohol and hydrogen, will ensure supplies of clean, affordable energy for humanity's future.

30/ The passage suggests that _________ A. people use energy without giving great thought to where it's coming from.

B. the search for energy sources is mainly a problem for the future C. scientists believe we will never have to go without our modern conveniences D. modern society requires a minimum amount of energy to keep running 31/ It can be implied from the passage that _________ A. most alternative energy sources have proven to be impractical B. many alternative energy' sources. are environmentally hazardous C. nuclear power solves one problem while creating others D. solar and wind power are not promising for the future 32/ From the passage, it can be inferred that to solve our energy problems _________ A. we will have to stop using many of our modern conveniences B. scientists will have to find one major source of nonpolluting energy C. scientists will have to find ways to increase our supplies of coal, oil and gas D.a combination of conservation and invention will be needed 33/ Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A.The search for alternative energy sources is not over.

B. Our present energy sources must be eliminated and replaced with alternatives sources.

C. Alternative sources of energy on this planet are very limited.

D. Demand; for energy in the future are likely to decrease.

34/ Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

A.The amount of fossil fuels in the world is limited.

B. Most alternative energy sources are environmentally friendly.

C. Hydroelectric power is impractical because of its being money consuming.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial wastes which pour into the lake every day. Even where law existed, the government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies Page 40

VI. Read the passage and choose the best option to answer the question.

In 1959, the government of Egypt was working on a plan to build a dam on the River Nile. It was called the Aswan Dam, and it was intended to generate electricity and allow the river water to be used for agriculture. There was one big problem with the plan, though. The dam would flood a nearby valley that contained ancient Egyptian treasures, including two enormous stone temples.

It can be difficult for governments to choose culture and history over economics. However, if countries always made decisions like this, the majority of the world's ancient sites would end up being destroyed. Luckily, UNESCO stepped in. They formed a committee that tried to convince Egypt to protect its ancient treasures. With support from many countries, they were finally successful. The huge temples were carefully removed from their original site and moved to a safe location so that the dam could be built.

After their success in saving the temples in Egypt, UNESCO went on to save more sites around the world. They protected lagoons in Venice, ruins in Pakistan, and temples in Indonesia. With industrialization changing the world rapidly, there were many sites that needed to be saved. Eventually, UNESCO formed the World Heritage Organization to protect important natural and historic sites wherever it was necessary.

The natural world is under violent assault from man.

The seas and rivers are being poisoned by radioactive wastes, by chemical discharges and by the dumping of dangerous toxins and raw sewage. The air we breathe is polluted by smoke and fumes from factories and motor vehicles; even the rain is poisoned.

It's little wonder forests and lakes are being destroyed and everywhere wildlife is disappearing. Yet the destruction continues.

Governments and industries throughout the world are intensifying their efforts to extract the earth's mineral riches and to plunder its living resources. The great rainforests and the frozen continents alike are seriously threatened. And this despite the warnings of the scientific community and the deep concern of millions of ordinary people.

Despite the fact, too, that we can create environmentally-clean industries, harness the power of the sun, wind and waves for our energy needs and manage the finite resources of the Earth in a way that will safeguard our future and protect all the rich variety of life forms which share this planet with us.

But there is still hope. The forces of destruction are being challenged across the globe - and at the spearhead of this challenge is Greenpeace.

Hobbies are practiced for interest and enjoyment, rather than financial reward. Examples include collecting, creative and artistic pursuits, making, tinkering, sports and adult education. Engaging in a hobby can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge, and experience. However, personal fulfilment is the aim.

What are hobbies for some people are professions for others: a game tester may enjoy cooking as a hobby, while a professional chef might enjoy playing (and helping to debug) computer games. Generally speaking, the person who does something for fun, not remuneration, is called an amateur (or hobbyist), as distinct from professional.

An important determinant of what is considered a hobby, as distinct from a profession (beyond the lack of remuneration), is probably how easy it is to make a living at the activity. Almost no one can make a living at cigarette card or stamp collecting, but many people find it enjoyable; so it is commonly regarded as a hobby.

Amateur astronomers often make meaningful contributions to the professionals. It is -not entirely uncommon for a hobbyist to be the first to discover a celestial body or event.

In the UK, the pejorative noun anorak (similar to the Japanese 'otaku' meaning a geek or enthusiast) is often applied to people who obsessively pursue a particular hobby that is considered boring, such as train spotting or stamp collecting.

155/ Which of the following is not true?

A. Hobbies make people feel relaxed and satisfied.

B. Hobbies can give people knowledge and experience.

C. Hobbies are mainly practised for profit.

D. Hobbies are recreational activities.

156/ According to the passage, a hobbyist ________.

A B C D D. READING COMPREHENSION VII. Read the passage and choose the correct answer for each question from 64 to 67: Scientists often divide resources into two groups: renewable and non– renewable. When a resource is used, it takes some times to replace it. If the resource can be replaced quickly and easily, it is called renewable. If it cannot be replaced quickly and easily, it is non-renewable. All fossil fuels are non-renewable resources. Solar energy, air, and water are usually called renewable because there is an unlimited supply.

However, this definition may change if people are not careful with these resources. The amount of solar energy that reaches the earth depends on the atmosphere. If the atmosphere is polluted, the solar energy that reaches the earth may be dangerous. If humans continue to pollute the air, it will not contain the correct amounts of these gases.
