Reading 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.
COLORS AND EMOTIONS
Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just as
important to me as emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately related?
Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your emotions, and
is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The color that you choose to wear
either reflects your current state of being, or reflects the color or emotion that you need.
The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you. Of
course they also affect anyone who comes in contact with you, but you are the one saturated with the
color all day! I even choose items around me based on their color. In the morning, I choose my clothes
based on the color or emotion I need for the day. So you can consciously use color to control the
emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to feel better.
Color, sound and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are
meant to move and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in
motion. Also, flowing energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your body. So, the fastest way to
be healthy is to be open to your real feelings. Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit
your emotions.

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer.
Since the dawn of time, people have found ways to communicate with one another. Smoke signals
and tribal drums were some of the earliest forms of communication. Letters, carried by birds or by
humans on foot or on horseback, made it possible for people to communicate larger amounts of
information between two places. The telegram and telephone set the stage for more modern means of
communication. With the invention of the cellular phone, communication itself has become mobile.
For you, a cell phone is probably just a device that you and your friends use to keep in touch with
family and friends, take pictures, play games, or send text message. The definition of a cell phone is more

specific. It is a hand- held wireless communication device that sends and receives signals by way of small
special areas called cells.
Walkie-talkies, telephones and cell phones are duplex communication devices. They make it
possible for two people to talk to each other. Cell phones and walkie-talkies are different from regular
phones because they can be used in many different locations. A walkie-talkie is sometimes called a
half-duplex communication device because only one person can talk at a time. A cell phone is a fullduplex device because it uses both frequencies at the same time. A walkie-talkie has only one channel.
A cell phone has more than a thousand channels. A walkie-talkie can transmit and receive signals
across a distance of about a mile. A cell phone can transmit and receive signals over hundreds of miles.
In 1973, an electronic company called Motorola hired Martin Cooper to work on wireless
communication. Motorola and Bell Laboratories (now AT&T) were in a race to invent the first portable
communication device. Martin Cooper won the race and became the inventor of the cell phone. On
April 3, 1973, Cooper made the first cell phone call to his opponent at AT&T while walking down the
streets of New York City. People on the sidewalks gazed at Cooper in amazement. Cooper's phone was
called A Motorola Dyna-Tac. It weighed a whopping 2.5 pounds (as compared to today's cell phones
that weigh as little as 3 or 4 ounces)
After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone
available to the general public. After a decade, Motorola introduced the first cell phone for commercial
use. The early cell phone and its service were both expensive. The cell phone itself cost about $ 3,500.
In 1977, AT&T constructed a cell phone system and tried it out in Chicago with over 2,000 customers.
In 1981, a second cellular phone system was started in the Washington D.C. and Baltimore area. It took
nearly 37 years for cell phones to become available for general public use. Today, there are more than
sixty million cell phone customers with cell phones producing over thirty billion dollars per years.
Question 55: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The increasing number of people using cell phone.
B. The difference between cell phones and telephones.
C. The history of a cell phone.
D. How Cooper competed with AT&T.
Question 56: What definition is true of a cell phone?
A. The first product of two famous corporation.
B. A hand-held wireless communication device.



C. Something we use just for playing games.
D. A version of walkie-talkie.
Question 57: What is wrong about a walkie-talkie?
A. It has one channel
B. It was first designed in 1973.
C. It can be used within a distance of a mile. D. Only one person can talk at a time.
Question 58: The word "duplex" is closest meaning to ________.

Question 59: To whom did Cooper make his first cell phone call?
A. His assistant at Motorola.
B. A person on New York street.

D. The director of his company.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word for each of the questions from 35 to 44.
Who talk more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women , says that this is a
stereotype . According to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more in private situations , where
they use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in
public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points
out that we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one “best friend”,
their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually
involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better
at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference.
Researchers studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that
parents talk very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was
that parents use more language with their girls .Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters ,
they use more descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions,
especially sadness, with daughters than with sons.


Question 35:. Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Little girls and little boys have different ways of playing.
B. Women talk more than men.
C. It’s stereotype that women talk more than men .
D. Women talk more in private , and men talk more in public.
Question 36. Which word is similar in meaning to “glue” in line 3 ?
A. means

B. sticky substance
C. game
D. rope
Question 37: Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Researchers have studied the conversations of children and their parents.
B. Parents do not talk much about sadness with their sons.
C. Study at Emory University can help to explain the differences between communication styles of

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word for each of the blanks from 45 to 54.
Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything else
that is included in one’s possessions. Other forms of property can be intangible, and copyright deals
with intangible forms of property. Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of creative
works, for example, books, magazine articles, maps, films, plays, television shows, software, paintings,
photographs, music, choreography in dance and all other forms of intellectual or artistic property.
Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyright establishes
the ownership of the creator. When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, it belongs to this individual
as a tangible object. However, the authors of the magazine articles own the research and the writing


that went into creating the articles. The right to make and sell or give away copies of books or articles
belongs to the authors, publishers, or other individuals or organizations that hold the copyright. To
copy an entire book or a part of it, permission must be received from the copyright owner, who will

most likely expect to be paid.
Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property. Music may be played
by anyone after it is published. However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to pay a fee,
called a royalty. A similar principle applies to performances of songs and plays. On the other hand,
names, ideas, and book titles are excepted. Ideas do not become copyrighted property until they are
published in a book, a painting or a musical work. Almost all artistic work created before the 20 th
century is not copyrighted because it was created before the copyright law was passed.
The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy. Plagiarizing the
work of another person means passing it off as one’s own. The word plagiarism is derived from the
Latin plagiarus, which means “abductor”. Piracy may be an act of one person, but, in many cases, it is
a joint effort of several people who reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for profit without paying
royalties to the creator. Technological innovations have made piracy easy and anyone can duplicate a
motion picture on videotape, a computer program, or a book. Video cassette recorders can be used by
practically anyone to copy movies and television programs, and copying software has become almost
as easy as copying a book. Large companies zealously monitor their copyrights for slogans,
advertisements, and brand names, protected by a trademark.
Question 45 : What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Legal rights of property owners
B. Legal ownership of creative work
C. Examples of copyright piracy
D. Copying creating work for profit
Question 46: The word “extended” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______
A. explicated
B. exposed
C. guaranteed
D. granted
Question 47: It can be inferred from the passage that copyright law is intended to protect
A. the user’s ability to enjoy an artistic work
B. the creator’s ability to profit from the work
C. paintings and photographs from theft

D. computer software and videos from being
copied
Question 48: The word “principle” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______
A. crucial point
B. cardinal role
C. fundamental rule
D. formidable force
Question 49 : Which of the following properties is NOT mentioned as protected by copyright?
A. music and plays
B. paintings and maps
C. printed medium
D. scientific
discoveries
Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that it is legal if _______
A. two songs, written by two different composers, have the same melody
B. two books, written by two different authors, have the same titles
C. two drawings, created by two different artists, have the same images
D. two plays, created by two different playwrights, have the same plot and characters

MOBILE PHONES: ARE THEY ABOUT TO TRANSFORM OUR LIVES?
We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow, yet we are increasingly
concerned that we cannot escape their electronic reach. We use them to convey our most intimate
secrets, yet we worry that they are a threat to our privacy. We rely on them more than the Internet to
cope with modern life, yet many of us don’t believe advertisements saying we need more advanced
services.
Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third generation phones
and fears over the health effects of phone masts, a recent report claims that the long-term effects of
new mobile technologies will be entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use
of them. Research about users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond
being a mere practical communications tool to become the backbone of modern social life, from love
affairs to friendship to work.
The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers, the report
says, who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity. This is partly because mobiles are
seen as being beyond the control of parents. But the researchers suggest that another reason may be

that mobiles, especially text messaging, were seen as a way of overcoming shyness. The impact of
phones, however, has been local rather than global, supporting existing friendship and networks,
rather than opening users to a new broader community. Even the language of texting in one area can
be incomprehensible to anybody from another area.
Among the most important benefits of using mobile phones, the report claims, will be a vastly
improved mobile infrastructure, providing gains throughout the economy, and the provision of a
more sophisticated location-based services for users. The report calls on government to put more
effort into the delivery of services by mobile phone, with suggestion including public transport and
traffic information and doctors’ text messages to remind patients of appointments. There are many
possibilities. At a recent trade fair in Sweden, a mobile navigation product was launched. When the
user enters a destination, a route is automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by
voices, pictures and maps as they drive. In future, these devices will also be able to plan around
congestion and road works in real time. Third generation phones will also allow for remote
monitoring of patients by doctors. In Britain, scientists are developing an asthma management
solution using mobiles to detect early signs of an attack.
Mobile phones can be used in education. A group of teachers in Britain use third generation phones
to provide fast internet service to children who live beyond the reach of terrestrial broadband
services and can have no access to online information. ‘As the new generation of mobile
technologies takes off, the social potential will vastly increase,’ the report argues.


Question 35: What does the writer suggest in the first paragraph about our attitudes to mobile
phones?
A. We are worried about using them so much.
B. We have contradictory feelings about them.
C. We need them more than anything else to deal with modern life.
D. We cannot live without them.
Question 36: What does “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. new mobile technologies
B. benefits

C. doubts
D. long-term effects
Question 37: What is the connection between social life and mobile phones?
A. Mobile phones make romantic communication easier.
B. Mobile phones enable people to communicate while moving around.
C. Modern social life relies significantly on the use of mobile phones.
D. Mobile phones encourage people to make friends.
Question 38: Why do teenagers have such a close relationship with their mobile phones?
A. They are more inclined to be late than older people.
B. They feel independent when they use them.
C. They tend to feel uncomfortable in many situations.
D. They use text messages more than any other group.
Question 39: Which of the following is NOT true?
A. People can overcome shyness by using texting to communicate things that make them
uncomfortable.
B. There is no need to suspect the harmfulness of mobile phones.
C. Mobile phone is considered as a means for the youth to show their characters.
D. Mobile phones are playing a wide range of roles in people’s life.
Question 40: In what sense has the impact of phones been “local” in paragraph 3?
A. People tend to communicate with people they already know.
B. Users generally phone people who live in the same neighbourhood.
C. It depends on local dialects.
D. The phone networks use different systems.
Question 41: How might mobile phones be used in the future?
A. To show bus and train timetables
B. To give the address of the nearest doctor’s surgery
C. To arrange deliveries
D. To cure diseases
Question 42: The navigation product launched in Sweden is helpful for drivers because _____.
A. it shows them how to avoid road works B. it can suggest the best way to get to a place

C. it tells them which roads are congested D. it provides directions orally
Question 43: What is the general attitude of the report described here?
A. The government should take over the mobile phone networks.
B. There are problems with mobile phones that cannot be overcome.
C. Mobile phones can have a variety of very useful applications.
D. Manufacturers need to produce better equipment.
Question 44: The word “pronounced” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. obvious
B. overwhelmed

D. voiced
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 45 to 54.


In 1826, a Frenchman named Niépce needed pictures for his business. He was not a good artist,
so he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his
yard. That was the first photograph.
The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another
Frenchman, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In
his pictures, you could see everything clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph
was called a daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes
from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities, and mountains.
In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and
moving things. The process was not simple and photographers had to carry lots of film and
processing equipment. However, this did not stop photographers, especially in the United States.
After 1840, daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.
Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer. He took many portraits of famous
people. The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of personality. Brady was

also the first person to take pictures of a war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers
and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy film
readymade in rolls, instead of having to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to
process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later. They
did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera
made photography less expensive.
With a small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun.
They took pictures of their families, friends, and favorite places. They called these pictures
"snapshots".
Documentary photographs became popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and
books also used them. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real
than drawings.
Some people began to think of photography as a form of art. They thought that photography
could do more than show the real world. It could also show ideas and feelings, like other art forms.
Question 45: The first photograph was taken with ______.
A. a small handheld camera
B. a very simple camera
C. a daguerreotype
D. new types of film
Question 46: Daguerre took a picture of his studio with ______.
A. a new kind of camera
B. a very simple camera
C. special equipment
D. an electronic camera
Question 47: The word “this” in the passage refers to the ______.
A. carrying of lots of film and processing equipment
B. stopping of photographers from taking photos
C. fact that daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities
D. taking of pictures of people and moving things

Question 48: The word “ruined” in the passage is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. poorly-painted
B. heavily-polluted
C. terribly spoiled
D. badly damaged
Question 49: The word “lifelike” in the passage is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. moving
B. realistic
C. touching
D. manlike
Question 50: The latest invention mentioned in the passage is the invention of ______.
A. handheld cameras
B. processing equipment


C. daguerreotypes
D. rolls of film

Reading 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.
Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the
crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are
rare. And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent
intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives
without a single drop.
Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not aliminated life but only those forms unable to
withstand its desiccating effects. No moist skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few
large animals are found. The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and
the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping
creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence,
and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated.
Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in
the word. The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology.
None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many
would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid
burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sunbaked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60
degrees.
Question 35: The title for this passage could be
.
A. “Desert Plants”
B. “Life Underground”
C. “Animal Life in a Desert Environment”
D. “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment”
Question 36: The word “tissues” in the passage mostly means
.
A. “the smallest units of living matter that can exist on their own”
B. “collections of cells that form the different parts of humans, animals and plants”
C. “very smal living things that cause infectious disease in people, animals and plants”
