Our demand for water is constantly increasing. Every year there are more and more people in the world. Factories turn out
more and more products and need more and more water. We live in a world of water. But almost all of it - about 97%-is in the

oceans. This water is too salty to be used for drinking, farming, and manufacturing. Only about 3% of the world's water is fresh.
Most of this water is not easily available to man because it is locked in glaciers and icecaps.
There is as much water on earth today as there ever was or will ever be. Most of the water we use finds its way to the
oceans. There, it is evaporated by the sun. It then falls back to the earth as rain. Water is used and reused over again. It is never
used up. Although the world as a whole has plenty of fresh water, some regions have a water shortage. Rain does not fall evenly
over the earth. Some regions are always too dry, and others too wet. A region that usually gets enough rain may suddenly have a

I just want to introduce the next area we’ll cover: the food chain. Food chains are divided into three types. The first one is
the predator( [‘predətə(r)]: dong vat an thit) chain, in which larger animals feed on smaller ones, such as when a bird eats a fish.
10
The second is the parasite chain, in which smaller animals live off larger ones, such as a tapeworm living in a eat’s intestines. And
the third type is the saprophytic chain in which a micro-organism feeds off dead matter.
In each type of chain, potential energy is lost at each level. Let’s take the example of a green plant. It gets energy from the
sun by photosynthesis, but can use only about 2 or 3 percent of the energy that falls on it. The plant is then eaten by a rabbit, but
the rabbit can use only about 10 percent of the potential energy of the plant. The rabbit is then eaten by a fox, which can use about
12 - 15 percent of the energy from the rabbit. And finally, the fox is eaten by a mountain lion. As you can see, at each step the
percentage of energy obtained increases, but all in all, a great deal of energy is lost at each step.
That’s all for today. Read the next chapter in your books. We’ll go on with more about the food chain next time.
76. What is the major topic of this lecture?
A Predators in the animal world. B Divisions of the food chain. 
C The loss of potential energy in predators. D A parasitic chain.
77. Which of the following is an example of a predator chain?
A. A bird eating a fish.  B A rabbit eating grass.
C A tapeworm living in an animal. D A plant using energy from the sun,
78. How much of the potential energy from the sun can a plant use?
A 2 - 3 percent.  B 10 percent. C 12 - 15 percent. D More than 15 percent.
79. What happens at each step of the food chain?
A. A plant uses energy. B Animals kill other animals.
C Potential energy is lost.  D A micro-organism feeds off dead matter.
80. What is eaten in a saprophytic chain?
A. A green plant. B Dead matter.  C A smaller animal. D A rabbit.

Last year I went to Nepal for three months to work in a hospital. I think it's important to see as much of a country as you
can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few days’ holiday, so I decided to go into the jungle and I
asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.
We started preparing for the trip at six in the morning, and left camp with two elephants carrying our equipment. It was
hot but Kamal made me wear shoes
and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially

tigers. We climbed onto the elephants' backs to get better view, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep
in the heat of the day.
Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We crept nearer and found a dead deer, still
bleeding. This was the tiger's lunch! Suddenly I started to feel very frightened.
13
We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five hundred kilos plus and four
meters long. I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the animal's throat. It grabbed Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I
managed to pul1 Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to
let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep!

Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word or phrase.
A thirteen-year-old does not spend as much money as his parents suspect - at least not (21) according to the findings of
recent survey, Money and Change. The survey (22) included three hundred teenagers, 13-17 years old from (23) all over Britain.
By the time they (24) reach their teens, most children see their weekly allowance rise dramatically to an amazing national
average of $5.14. Two thirds think they get (25) enough money but most expect to have to do something to get it.
Although they have more cash, worry about debt is (26) increasing among teenagers. Therefore, the majority of children
make an effort to save for the future.
Greater access to cash (27) among teenagers does not, however, mean that they are more irresponsible as a result. The
economic recession seems to have encouraged cautious attitudes to money, even in the case of children at these ages. Instead of

Read the passage and choose the best answer.
CHESS
Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played
"long, long ago". Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The
name "chess" is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king, he says in English "check"; when the king has been
caught and cannot move anywhere, he says "check mate". These words come from Persian. "Shah mat" means "the king is dead".
That is the game is over and one player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one
time the queen could only more one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know
why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be champion in
order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians
was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same tine. The record was when
one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.

Questions 36 - 45. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best option

The Industrial Revolution in Britain was built on the use of machines in factories. Since the 1950s, Britain's
(36) industries have replaced machine operators with computers, and this (37) has led to a decline in the number of
(38) in many factories. Goods are bought and used much more than ever before but a lot of these goods are imported. By the
18
beginning of the 20th century, other industrial countries like the USA were (39) with Britain's exports, and countries in the Far
East have been able to provide cheaper (40) since the 1970s. Areas located with heavy industries are suffering high
unemployment. During the last 30 years, there has been a constant rise in smaller industries (41) as "light industries". These
ones use electricity and are not (42) on raw materials such as coal so they are "footloose", i.e. they can be located anywhere.
They produce such things as washing machines or spare (43) Some of these industries produce nothing at all, but provide
services like distribution. The consumer boom of the 1980s and the increased leisure time of most Britons have led to rapid
(44) in service industries like banking, tourism, retailing and information processing, and in industries which distribute,
maintain, and repair (45) consumer goods.

Questions 46 - 55. Read and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frames of an object, each slightly different than the
preceding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw the different frames, in most cases the
artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer will produce the drawings between the first and the last
drawing. This is generally referred to as computer-assisted animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.
In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequence of pictures.
These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that define the objects in the pictures as they exist in mathematical
space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information. Highly trained professionals are needed to produce

such effects because animation that obtains high degrees of realism involves computer techniques for three-dimensional
transformation, shading, and curvatures.
High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special color terminals or frame
buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a single frame. It temporarily holds the image
for display on the screen.
A camera can be used to film directly from the computer's display screen, but for the highest quality images possible,
expensive film recorders are used. The computer computes the positions and colors for the figures in the picture, and sends this
information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes, however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before
being sent to the recorder. Once this process is completed, it is repeated for the next frame. When the entire sequence has been
recorded on the film, the film must be developed before the animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right,
the motions must be corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive and time
consuming. Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before
selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images.
46. What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The production process B. The equipment needed C. The high cost D. The role of the artist

50. According to the passage, the positions and colours of the figures in high-tech animation are determined by
A. drawing several versions B. enlarging one frame at a lime
C. analyzing the sequence from different angles D. using computer calculations

Questions 56 - 65. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the
following questions.
The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to flee. Natural selection has acted in a variety of ways in
different species to enhance the efficacy of the behaviours, known as "flight behaviours" or escape behaviours that are used by
prey in fleeing predators. Perhaps the most direct adaptation is enhanced light speed and agility.
Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so we might expect only some species to adopt a
simple fast flight strategy.
Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic and unpredictable way. Many species, like
ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a characteristic zigzag fashion. Rapid unexpected
changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to track prey.
In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective in the presence of predators that are faster
than they are and straight light more effective against predators that are slower. One observation that supports this suggestion is
the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded gulls, which are normally able to escape predators by means of direct flight, to
show frequent changes in flight direction when they spot a peregrine falcon (peregrines are adept at capturing flying birds).
A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash" behaviour. Here, the alarmed prey flees for a short
distance and then "freezes." Some predators are unexcited by immobile prey, and a startling flash of activity followed by
immobility may confuse them. "Flash" behaviour is used in particular by frogs and orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous
jumps and then sit immobile. In some species, "flash" behaviour is enhanced by the display of bright body markings. Good
examples of insects with colourful markings are the red and yellow underwing moths. At rest, both species are a cryptic brown
color. When they fly, however, brightly coloured hind wings are exposed, which render the moths highly conspicuous. Similarly,

some frogs and lizards have brightly coloured patches or frills that may serve a 'flash" function when they move quickly. Some
species even appear to possess "flash" sounds. The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when they jump
may serve to emphasize the movement.
56. The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to
A. encourage B. resist C. increase D. reveal
57. The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement is
A. reliable B. fast C. constant D. unpredictable
58. It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare
A. is faster than most of its predators B. is capable of two kinds of flight
C. is more likely to escape using straight flight D. is preyed upon by gulls and falcons
59. The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of
A. gazelles B. European hares C. peregrine falcons D. frogs
60. It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for which of the following
reasons?
A. The falcons are faster than the gulls. B. The gulls want to capture the falcons.
C. The falcons are unpredictable. D. The gulls depend on the falcons for protection.
61. The word "alarmed" is closest in meaning to
A. moving B. selected C. frightened D. exhausted
62. All of the followings are mentioned as characteristics of "flash" behaviour EXCEPT
A. brief conspicuous activity B. immobility C. bright body markings D. aggressive fighting
63. The phrase "in particular" is closest in meaning to
A. especially B. with difficulty C. expertly D. frequently
64. The hind wings of red and yellow underwing moths function in a way that is most similar to
A. the hind wings of peregrine falcons B. the zigzag flight of European hares
C. the colored patches on frogs D. the clicking of grasshoppers
65. Why does the author mention "grasshopper" in the last line?
A. To contrast animals that "flash" with animals that "freeze".
B. As an example of an animal whose "flash" behaviour is a sound.
C. To compare the jumping behaviour of insects and reptiles.
D. As an example of a predator that moths escape by using "flash" behavior.

Text 2.
In the very distant geological past all animals were aquatic. The very first vertebrates, or animals with backbones, of which we
have any fossil record, lived in the water. These vertebrates, the fish, were adapted to underwater living. Their streamlined bodies
were covered with scales to reduce surface friction: they had muscular tails so that they could swim swiftly in such a dense
medium as water; and they were endowed with gills for breathing underwater.
Descendants of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and accommodated themselves to life on land. As amphibians,
they possessed limbs instead of fins and lungs instead of gills. But they never became completely free of the bonds that tied them
to the water; even today many amphibians return to the water to lay their eggs.
Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types of land dwellers appeared; these animals

gave rise to the present-day reptiles and mammals. They were more completely converted for land dwelling, with bodies and
biological activities far different from those of fish. With these special adaptations, mammals have been able to colonize the
woods and meadows, the deserts and high mountains, often far removed from the sea.
