VII. Read the passage and choose the correct answers.

For centuries, sky watchers have reported seeing mysterious flashes of light on the surface of the Moon. Modern
astronomers have observed the same phenomenon, but no one has been able to satisfactorily explain how or why the
Moon sporadically sparks. However, researchers now believe they have found the cause.
Researchers have examined the chemical content of Moon rocks retrieved by astronauts during the Apollo missions
and have found that they contain volatile gases such as helium, hydrogen, and argon. The researchers suggest that
stray electrons, freed when the rock cracks, may ignite these gases. Indeed, lunar rock samples, when fractured in
the lab, throw off sparks.
3


What causes these rocks to crack on the lunar surface? The flashes are most often seen at the borders between
sunlight and shade on the Moon, where the surface is being either intensely heated or cooled. A sudden change in
temperature may cause thermal cracking. Another possibility is that meteors may strike the rocks and cause them to
crack. Finally, lunar rocks may be fractured by seismic events - in other words, by tiny moonquakes.

VII. Read the following passage and choose the correct answers.
Research has indicated that dyslexia has biological origin, and most investigators now suspect that dyslexic
children read poorly as a result of highly specific language problem, sometimes called "phonological unawareness".
Dyslexic children cannot easily learn to read because they have trouble associating printed letters with the sounds of
speech. A similar problem occurs in congenitally deaf people who have mastered the linguistic complexities and
subtleties of sign language but have trouble learning to read .
Evidence also exists suggesting that the root cause for much dyslexia is a problem with processing very rapidly
changing sensory stimuli. For example, studies have shown that dyslexic children have trouble making accurate
distinctions between similar auditory signals. They often cannot hear the difference between speech sounds such as
"pall", "dah" , and "bah". Recently, differences have been noted between the visual pathways of dyslexics and those of
nondyslexics that suggest a comparable problem with fast-changing visual stimuli. Researchers have also found
several other neuroanatomical abnormalities in the temporal lobe and in other areas of the brain. All of these studies
are extremely valuable in helping researchers understand the mechanisms underlying reading problems so that
dyslexic children can be accurately identified and more efficiently helped.

VII. Read the following passage and choose the correct answers.
Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds. When this short amount of time

elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the information get there in the first place?
Information that makes its way to the short term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area. The brain has a
filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working memory.
There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory. The most accepted theory
comes from George A. Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately
seven chunks of information. A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information, such as a word or name rather
than just a letter or number. Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by
chunking or classifying similar information together. By organizing information, one can optimize the STM, and
improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage.
When making a Conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many people engage in
"rote rehearsal". By repeating something over and over again, we are able to keep a memory alive. Unfortunately, this
type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions. As soon as a person stops rehearsing the
information, it has the tendency to disappear. When a pen and paper are not handy, you might attempt to remember a
phone number by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before you get the opportunity to
11


make your phone call, you will forget the number instantly. Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass
information from the short term to long term memory. A better way is to practice "elaborate rehearsal". This involves
assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term
memories.
Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable. Retrieving information can be done by
recognition or recall. Humans can recall memories that are stored in the long term memory and used often. However,
if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting. The more cues a person is given
(such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved. This is why multiple choice tests are often used for
subjects that require a lot of memorization.
9 1 . According to the passage, how do memories get transferred to the STM?
A. They revert from the long term memory.
B. They are filtered from the sensory storage area.
C. They get chunked when they enter the brain.

D. They enter via the nervous system.

IX. Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
The main purpose of a resume is to convince an employer to grant you an interview. There are two kinds. One is the
familiar 'tombstone' that lists where you went to school and where you've worked in chronological order. The other is
what I call the 'functional' resume – descriptive, fun to read, unique to you and much more likely to land you an
interview. It's handy to have a 'tombstone' for certain occasions. But prospective employers throw away most of those
unrequited 'tombstone' lists, preferring to interview the quick rather than the dead. What follows are tips on writing a
functional resume that will get read – a résumé that will make you come alive and look interesting to employers.
Put yourself first: In order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to feel important about
yourself.
Tell what you can do, not who you are: Practice translating your personality traits, character, accomplishments and
achievements into skill areas in the world of work.
Toot your own horn! Many people clutch when asked to think about their abilities. Some think they have none at all!
But everyone does, and one of yours may just be the ticket, an employer would be glad to punch of only you show it.
Be specific, be concrete, and be brief !
Turn bad news into good: Everybody has had disappointments in work. If you have to mention yours, look for the
positive side.
Never apologize: If you're returning to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply write a short paragraph in
place of a chronology of experience. Don't apologize for
working at being a mother; it's the hardest job of all. If you have no special training or higher education, just don't
mention education.
How to psych yourself up: The secret is to think about the self before you start writing about yourself. Take four or
five hours off, not necessarily consecutive, and simply write down every accomplishment in your life that made you
feel effective. Study the list and try to spot patterns. As you study your list. you will come closer to the meaning:
identifying your marketable skills. Once you discover patterns. give names to your cluster of accomplishments. It may

take four drafts or more, and several weeks, before you are ready to show it to a stranger for a reaction. When you are
satisfied, print it.
96. We list the schools we attended and the offices where we worked in _______
A. a list of tips
B. a tombstone resume
C. a functional resume
D. an interview
97. The advantage of a functional résumé to a tombstone one is that________
A. it makes you feel important
B. it may help you look active and interesting to employers
C. it shows all your achievements
D. it gives a short summary of you
98. Which of the followings is not the tip mentioned in the reading?
A. be specific
B. never say sorry
C. feel important of yourself D. tell who you are
99. We shouldn't apologize for working at being a mother because
________
A. you have a special training
B. it is the hardest job
C. the employer wouldn't listen to you
D. its not good to share experience
100. Before printing a resume, you should ________
A. spend more days reading it.
B. make a photocopy of it.
C. make a summary of the background
D. show it to a stranger for reaction

VII. Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Wartime inevitably advanced the cause of women's right – women became indispensable as workers
outside home, as they had to keep the factories and government machinery running while the men went out to fight.
They were allowed into new areas of employment and were conceded new degrees of responsibility. In 1918 they got
the vote. Again, during the Second World War, state nurseries were built on a considerable scale to enable women to
hold on to their gains. Men reclaimed their jobs, and women were forced back into the home and confined to their
traditionally low-paid, menial and supportive forms of work. The government closed down most of the nurseries.
Theories about maternal deprivation emerged – women who had been told it was patriotic to go out to work during
the war were now told that their children would suffer if they did not stay at home. Little progress was made for the
next two decades.

VII. Read the following passage and choose the correct answers.
Fog is a cloud in contact with or just above the surface of land or sea. It can be a major environmental hazard. Fog
on highways can cause chain-reaction accidents involving dozens of cars. Delays and shutdowns at airports can
cause economic losses to airlines and inconveniences to thousands of travelers. Fog at sea has always been a
danger to navigation. Today, with supertankers carrying vast quantities of oil, fog increases the possibility of
catastrophic oil spills.
The most common type of fog, radiation fog, forms at night, when moist air near the ground loses warmth through
radiation on a clear night. This type of fog often occurs in valleys, such as California's San Joaquin Valley. Another
common type, advection fog, results from the movement of warm, wet air over cold ground. The air loses temperature

to the ground and condensation sets in. This type of fog often occurs along the California coast and the shores of the
Great Lakes. Advection fog also forms when air associated with a warm ocean current blows across the surface of a
cold current. The thick fogs of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada, are largely of this origin; because here the
Labrador Current comes in contact with the warm Gulf Stream.
Two other types of fog are somewhat more unusual. Frontal fog occurs when two fronts of different temperatures
meet, and rain from the warm front falls into the colder one, saturating the air. Steam fog appears when cold air picks
up moisture by moving other warmer water.
90. The first paragraph focuses on which aspect of fog?
A. its dangers
B. its composition
C. its beauty
D. its causes
91. The. word "catastrophic' is closest in meaning to
A. accidental
B. inevitable

D. disastrous

A. radiation fog
B. advection fog
C. frontal fog
D. steam fog
93. It can be inferred from the passage that the Labrador Current is
A. cold
B. weak
C. polluted
D. warm
94. The author organizes the discussion of the different types of fog according to
A. their geographic locations
B. their relative density

C. the types of problems they cause
D. their relative frequency
95. The author of the passage is probably an expert in the filed of
23


A. physics
B. economics
C. transportation
D. meteorology
97. According to the article, fog that forms through radiation process of moist air is generally

A. It is quite common.
B. It forms when two fronts of different temperatures meet.
