V. READING COMPREHENSION (0.5 pt)

Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.
STUDYING ABROAD

Before applying to a foreign university, one should consider the disadvantages of studying abroad. First,
a student may feel lonely by being far from home and friends. Also, difficulty in understanding a foreign
language can be very disappointing and can affect the student’s grades. It can be very expensive to pay the costs

of travel and housing in a different country. Finally, if there is an emergency at home, it will be hard to get home
in a hurry.

However, studying in another country is advantageous in many ways. A student is exposed to a new
culture. This culture teaches him or her about other people and other ways of thinking, which can promote
friendships among countries. He can learn a new language which may be beneficial for keeping up with research
after the student has finished studying. He can learn experience not available in his country. The student may
also get the opportunity to study at a university where a leading expert in his field may be teaching. The leading
expert can introduce the student to the most up-to-date findings of the top researchers in the field. Exposure to
such available knowledge and insights into the field can aid the student in becoming an expert as well.

76. ______ to study abroad.

A. There are only disadvantages B. There are only advantages

disadvantages

77. When studying abroad, a student ______.

A. is homesick and feels lonely B. spends a lot of money for accommodation and

A. has no advantages B. enriches his knowledge about people and other ways of
thinking

C. has no effects D. causes some trouble

language

Sonya is holidaying in Australia. This is part of a letter which she wrote to her parents.

I’m really enjoying my holiday in Australia. Last Sunday I visited a marine park called Sea World, which
is at Surfers Paradise near Brisbane. It’s Australia’s largest marine park and I had á wonderful day there.

The first thing I saw was the Oceanarium, which is a place where you can watch all sorts of sea fish and

animals underwater. There were huge turtles, sharks and beautiful tropical sea fish. The most exciting thing was
watching a man feeding the sharks. He wore a special diving suit. Then I watched the performing animals. The
show was in a big outdoor swimming pool. There were killer whales, and sea lions, and they did all sorts of
fantastic things in the water.

One of the girls in the show rode around the pool on the back of a killer whale, and another girl rode
under water on the back of a big turtle. After the show I had lunch. There were several big restaurants at the park
and I had lunch in a restaurant that was shaped like a ship. Then I watched a wonderful water-ski show which
was held on the lake.

There were lots of other things to do at the park. There was lake cruising, a train ride, a big water slide,
swimming pools, and an incredible roller-coaster called the Corkscrew! - Because it goes through three loops
upside down. But I wish I had gone on the roller-coaster ride before lunch rather than after it.

I’m sending you some postcards to show you how great it was.

101. Sonya watched a man feeding sharks in an outdoor swimming-pool.
102. Sonya spent a morning at Sea World Park.

III. There are ten mistakes in the following passage. Find them out and correct them.

Japanese young today study English for six years at junior and senior high school, but very little can
speak it by the time they graduate. If the Japanese want to acquire practice oral skills, they have to do a
conscientious effort by themselves as going abroad or taking English conversation classes in their private
country.

In Japan, grammar is emphasized too much at Japanese high school, and there is no balance with the
speaking language. People study English mainly for passing exams. They're so tied to grammar teaching in the
textbooks that they find speaking English natural very difficult.

They should consider English more as a means of communication than of a science.

III. There are ten mistakes in the following passage. Find them out and correct them.

Japanese young today study English for six years at junior and senior high school, but very little can
speak it by the time they graduate. If the Japanese want to acquire practice oral skills, they have to do a
conscientious effort by themselves as going abroad or taking English conversation classes in their private
country.

In Japan, grammar is emphasized too much at Japanese high school, and there is no balance with the
speaking language. People study English mainly for passing exams. They're so tired of grammar teaching in the
textbooks that they find speaking English natural very difficult.

They should consider English more as a means of communication than of a science.
