Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or
phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare ...(6)... between husband and wife. Young couples will try to
arrange their work schedules so that they work opposite hours or shifts in order that one parent is always home with the
children. Since childcare is expensive, this saves money for the young couple trying to establish themselves and provide a
secure environment for the family. Husband and wife may also share household chores. Some fathers are just as capable as
mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry.
In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family ...(7)... and the father becomes the "househusband." These cases are still
fairly rare. One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to be spending more time with their children. In a recent survey,
41% of the children sampled said they spend equal time with their mothers and fathers. "This is one of our most significant
cultural changes," says Dr. Leon Hoffman, who co.directs the Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society.
In practice, for over 30 years,
Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything from care.taking to general
decision ...(8)... around kids' lives."
Another factor has recently been added to the childcare formula. The number of people who work from home nearly
full.time rose 23% from the last decade. The ...(9)... of technology . computers, faxes, teleconferencing . has made it easier for
athome workers to be constantly in touch. Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a positive change for the ...(10)... of
children? Only time will tell.

Read the following passage and mark the letters A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.

Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a substance that is
harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example, rank among the most healthful and
widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is
not harmed by coming into contact with the substance. After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the
body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food
allergy, since it can show up so many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems.
You may have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food
allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not
develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months. Breast milk also tends
to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium
nitrate. Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers,
avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!).
Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin.
Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates
from their diets.
A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who
has written the book "Why your Child is Hyperactive". Other researchers have had mixed results when testing whether the
diet is effective.

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.
Smart cards and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all sorts of payments. Even now, in
Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to picking up the groceries, take place every day with customers
passing their handsets across a small flat.screen device. And predictions in the world of finance reckon that payments using
mobile phones will have risen to more than $50 billion in the very near future.
What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of cash, but more so. It takes just one
tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change is required, errors in counting are eliminated. Fraud and
theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it reduces the cost of handling money. Sony’s vision of having a chip embedded in
computers. TVs and games consoles means that films, music and games can be paid for easily and without having to input
credit-card details.
And what about the future of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and credit-card firms want to be in a position
to collect most of the fees from the users of mobile and contactless.payment systems. But the new system could prove to be a
"disruptive technology" as far as the banks are concerned. If payments for a few coffees, a train ticket and a newspaper are
made every day by a commuter with a mobile, this will not appear on their monthly credit-card statements but on their mobile
phone statements. And having spent fortunes on branding, credit-card companies and banks do not want to see other payment
systems gaining popularity. It's too early to say whether banks will miss out and if so, by how much. However, quite a few
American bankers are optimistic They feel there is reason to he suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be
a thing of the past. They point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street branches as was
predicted. On the contrary, more Americans than ever are using local branches. So, whether we'll become a totally cash-free
society remains open to contention.
Question 38: Which of the following is NOT true about the strong point of e-cash?
A. fewer mistakes
B. reduced cost
C. faster speed
D. no fraud
Question 39: Why does the author mention "a small flat.screen device" in the first paragraph?
A. to praise the e-cash system
B. to exemplify the e-cash system

C. to criticize the e-cash system
D. to inform the e-cash system
Question 40: The author mentions the case of commuters in the third paragraph to illustrate......
A. the banks' cooperation with credit-card companies
B. a possible drawback of the system
C. the transferability of the system
D. the modem technology of the e-cash system
Question 41: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. The absence of traditional payment methods
B. Japan's advanced forms of payment
C. Predictions of future payment methods
D. The increasing popularity of new payment methods
Question 42: The word "embedded" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to......
A. manufactured
B. integrated
C. isolated
D. generated
Question 43: What does the author think may happen in the future?
A. Credit.card companies and banks will want to promote cash.
B. Banks will collect their fees through credit-card companies.
C. Daily expenses on drinks and tickets will appear on phone statements.
D. Americans will no longer go to their local bank branches.

Smart cards and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all sorts of payments. Even now, in
Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to picking up the groceries, take place every day with customers
passing their handsets across a small flat.screen device. And predictions in the world of finance reckon that payments using
mobile phones will have risen to more than $50 billion in the very near future.
What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of cash, but more so. It takes just one
tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change is required, errors in counting are eliminated. Fraud and
theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it reduces the cost of handling money. Sony’s vision of having a chip embedded in
computers. TVs and games consoles means that films, music and games can be paid for easily and without having to input
credit-card details.
And what about the future of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and credit-card firms want to be in a position
to collect most of the fees from the users of mobile and contactless.payment systems. But the new system could prove to be a
"disruptive technology" as far as the banks are concerned. If payments for a few coffees, a train ticket and a newspaper are
made every day by a commuter with a mobile, this will not appear on their monthly credit-card statements but on their mobile
phone statements. And having spent fortunes on branding, credit-card companies and banks do not want to see other payment
systems gaining popularity. It's too early to say whether banks will miss out and if so, by how much. However, quite a few
American bankers are optimistic They feel there is reason to he suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be

a thing of the past. They point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street branches as was
predicted. On the contrary, more Americans than ever are using local branches. So, whether we'll become a totally cash-free
society remains open to contention.

A. The absence of traditional payment methods
B. Predictions of future payment methods
C. Japan's advanced forms of payment
D. The increasing popularity of new payment methods
Question 12: How does the writer seem to feel about the future of banks?
A. uncertain
B. pessimistic
C. neutral
D. optimistic

B. Daily expenses on drinks and tickets will appear on phone statements.
C. Banks will collect their fees through credit-card companies.
D. Credit.card companies and banks will want to promote cash.
Question 14: Why does the author mention "a small flat.screen device" in the first paragraph?

Read the following passage and mark the letters A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a substance that is
harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example, rank among the most healthful and
widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is
not harmed by coming into contact with the substance. After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the
body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food
allergy, since it can show up so many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems.

You may have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food
allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not
develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months. Breast milk also tends
to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium
nitrate. Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers,
avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!).
Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin.
Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates
from their diets.
A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who
has written the book "Why your Child is Hyperactive". Other researchers have had mixed results when testing whether the
diet is effective.
Question 19: The word "symptoms" is closest in meaning to.......
A. diagnosis
B. prescriptions
C. diet
D. indications
Question 20: The topic of this passage is.......
A. infants and allergies B. reactions to foods
C. food and nutrition
D. a good diet
Question 21: According to the passage, the difficulty in diagnosing allergies to foods is due to.......
A. the similarity of symptoms of the allergy to other problems
B. the use of prepared formula to feed babies
C. the vast number of different foods we eat
D. lack of a proper treatment plan
Question 22: Which of the following was a suggested treatment for migraines in the passage?
A. Avoiding all Oriental foods
B. Eating more ripe bananas
C. Using Vitamin B in addition to a good diet

D. Getting plenty of sodium nitrate
Question 23: According to the article the Feingold diet is NOT......


A. verified by researchers as being consistently effective
B. designed to eliminate foods containing certain food additives
C. available in book form
D. beneficial for hyperactive children
Question 24: The author states that the reason that infants need to avoid certain foods related to allergies has to do with
the infant's.........
A. poor metabolism
B. inability to swallow solid foods
C. underdeveloped intestinal tract
D. lack of teeth
Question 25: The word "these" refers to.........
A. foods high in salicylates B. food additives
C. innutritious foods
D. food colorings
Question 26: What can be inferred about babies from this passage?
A. They should have a carefully restricted diet as infants.
B. They may become hyperactive if fed solid food too early.
C. They gain little benefit from being breast fed.
D. They can eat almost anything.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or
phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare ...(27)... between husband and wife. Young couples will try to
arrange their work schedules so that they work opposite hours or shifts in order that one parent is always home with the
children. Since childcare is expensive, this saves money for the young couple trying to establish themselves and provide a
secure environment for the family. Husband and wife may also share household chores. Some fathers are just as capable as
mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry.

In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family ...(28)... and the father becomes the "househusband." These cases are still
fairly rare. One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to be spending more time with their children. In a recent survey,
41% of the children sampled said they spend equal time with their mothers and fathers. "This is one of our most significant
cultural changes," says Dr. Leon Hoffman, who co.directs the Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society.
In practice, for over 30 years,
Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything from care.taking to general
decision ...(29)... around kids' lives."
Another factor has recently been added to the childcare formula. The number of people who work from home nearly
full.time rose 23% from the last decade. The ...(30)... of technology . computers, faxes, teleconferencing . has made it easier
for athome workers to be constantly in touch. Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a positive change for the ...
(31)... of children? Only time will tell.

 Read the following passage and mark the letters A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a substance that is
harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example, rank among the most healthful and
widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is
not harmed by coming into contact with the substance. After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the
body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food
allergy, since it can show up so many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems.
You may have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food

allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not
develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months. Breast milk also tends
to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium
nitrate. Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers,
avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!).
Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin.
Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates
from their diets.
A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who
has written the book "Why your Child is Hyperactive". Other researchers have had mixed results when testing whether the
diet is effective.
Question 22: The topic of this passage is.......
A. food and nutrition
B. infants and allergies
C. reactions to foods
D. a good diet
Question 23: What can be inferred about babies from this passage?
A. They may become hyperactive if fed solid food too early.
B. They should have a carefully restricted diet as infants.
C. They can eat almost anything.
D. They gain little benefit from being breast fed.
Question 24: Which of the following was a suggested treatment for migraines in the passage?
A. Using Vitamin B in addition to a good diet
B. Getting plenty of sodium nitrate
C. Avoiding all Oriental foods
D. Eating more ripe bananas
Question 25: The word "these" refers to.........
A. innutritious foods
B. foods high in salicylates
C. food colorings

D. food additives
Question 26: The word "symptoms" is closest in meaning to.......
A. diet
B. indications
C. prescriptions
D. diagnosis
Question 27: The author states that the reason that infants need to avoid certain foods related to allergies has to do with
the infant's.........
A. inability to swallow solid foods
B. underdeveloped intestinal tract
C. poor metabolism
D. lack of teeth
Question 28: According to the passage, the difficulty in diagnosing allergies to foods is due to.......
A. the vast number of different foods we eat
B. the use of prepared formula to feed babies
C. lack of a proper treatment plan
D. the similarity of symptoms of the allergy to other problems
Question 29: According to the article the Feingold diet is NOT......
A. verified by researchers as being consistently effective
B. beneficial for hyperactive children
C. available in book form
D. designed to eliminate foods containing certain food additives
Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or
phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare ...(30)... between husband and wife. Young couples will try to
arrange their work schedules so that they work opposite hours or shifts in order that one parent is always home with the


children. Since childcare is expensive, this saves money for the young couple trying to establish themselves and provide a
secure environment for the family. Husband and wife may also share household chores. Some fathers are just as capable as

mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry.
In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family ...(31)... and the father becomes the "househusband." These cases are still
fairly rare. One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to be spending more time with their children. In a recent survey,
41% of the children sampled said they spend equal time with their mothers and fathers. "This is one of our most significant
cultural changes," says Dr. Leon Hoffman, who co.directs the Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society.
In practice, for over 30 years,
Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything from care.taking to general
decision ...(32)... around kids' lives."
Another factor has recently been added to the childcare formula. The number of people who work from home nearly
full.time rose 23% from the last decade. The ...(33)... of technology . computers, faxes, teleconferencing . has made it easier
for athome workers to be constantly in touch. Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a positive change for the ...

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.
Smart cards and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all sorts of payments. Even now, in
Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to picking up the groceries, take place every day with customers
passing their handsets across a small flat.screen device. And predictions in the world of finance reckon that payments using
mobile phones will have risen to more than $50 billion in the very near future.
What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of cash, but more so. It takes just one
tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change is required, errors in counting are eliminated. Fraud and
theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it reduces the cost of handling money. Sony’s vision of having a chip embedded in
computers. TVs and games consoles means that films, music and games can be paid for easily and without having to input
credit-card details.
And what about the future of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and credit-card firms want to be in a position
to collect most of the fees from the users of mobile and contactless.payment systems. But the new system could prove to be a
"disruptive technology" as far as the banks are concerned. If payments for a few coffees, a train ticket and a newspaper are
made every day by a commuter with a mobile, this will not appear on their monthly credit-card statements but on their mobile
phone statements. And having spent fortunes on branding, credit-card companies and banks do not want to see other payment
systems gaining popularity. It's too early to say whether banks will miss out and if so, by how much. However, quite a few
American bankers are optimistic They feel there is reason to he suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be
a thing of the past. They point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street branches as was
predicted. On the contrary, more Americans than ever are using local branches. So, whether we'll become a totally cash-free
society remains open to contention.
Question 37: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. The increasing popularity of new payment methods
B. Predictions of future payment methods
C. The absence of traditional payment methods
D. Japan's advanced forms of payment
Question 38: Why does the author mention "a small flat-screen device" in the first paragraph?
A. to exemplify the e-cash system
B. to inform the e-cash system
C. to praise the e-cash system
D. to criticize the e-cash system
Question 39: Which of the following is NOT true about the strong point of e-cash?
A. no fraud
B. fewer mistakes
C. reduced cost
D. faster speed
Question 40: How does the writer seem to feel about the future of banks?
A. pessimistic
B. neutral
C. optimistic
D. uncertain
Question 41: The author mentions the case of commuters in the third paragraph to illustrate......
A. the modem technology of the e-cash system
B. the transferability of the system
C. the banks' cooperation with credit-card companies
D. a possible drawback of the system

A. Banks will collect their fees through credit-card companies.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or

phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare ...(1)... between husband and wife. Young couples will try to
arrange their work schedules so that they work opposite hours or shifts in order that one parent is always home with the
children. Since childcare is expensive, this saves money for the young couple trying to establish themselves and provide a
secure environment for the family. Husband and wife may also share household chores. Some fathers are just as capable as
mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry.
In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family ...(2)... and the father becomes the "househusband." These cases are still
fairly rare. One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to be spending more time with their children. In a recent survey,
41% of the children sampled said they spend equal time with their mothers and fathers. "This is one of our most significant
cultural changes," says Dr. Leon Hoffman, who co.directs the Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society.
In practice, for over 30 years,
Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything from care.taking to general
decision ...(3)... around kids' lives."
Another factor has recently been added to the childcare formula. The number of people who work from home nearly
full.time rose 23% from the last decade. The ...(4)... of technology . computers, faxes, teleconferencing . has made it easier for
athome workers to be constantly in touch. Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a positive change for the ...(5)... of
children? Only time will tell.
