Question III. Read the passage and choose the best answers to questions below. Write
the answers on your answer sheet. (10 pts)

Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places, it is actually considered
unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people.

They find that the phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone

shows that they are cool and connected.

The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health

professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer
health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate

about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such

ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.

On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some
people who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be
detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at
young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He
would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for
about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor
blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.

What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation.

High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone
companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry
about.

As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile
phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile
phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient,

especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says

they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often
71. According to the passage, cell phones are especially popular with young people because
__________ .

A. they make them look more stylish.
B. they keep the users alert all the time.

C. they cannot be replaced by regular phones.
D. they are indispensable in everyday communications.

72. The word "means" in the passage most closely means ________ .

A. meanings B. expression C. transmission D. method
73. Doctors have tentatively concluded that cell phones may _________ .

A. cause some mental malfunction B. change their users’ temperament.
C. change their users’ social behaviours. D. damage their users’ emotions.
74. "Negative publicity" in the passage most likely means _________ .

</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(5)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=5>

A. had a problem with memory. B. abandoned his family.

C. suffered serious loss of mental ability. D. could no longer think lucidly.

B. never use mobile phones in all cases.

V. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D for each question.
Aspirin's origins go back at least as early as 1758. In that year, Englishman Edward Stone
noticed a distinctive bitter flavor in the bark of the willow tree. To Stone, this particular bark
seemed to have much in common with "Peruvian Bark", which had been used medicinally since
the 1640s to bring down fevers and to treat malaria. Stone decided to test the effectiveness of
the willow bark. He obtained some, pulverized it into tiny pieces, and conducted experiments on
its properties. His tests demonstrated that this pulverized willow bark was effective both in
reducing high temperatures and in relieving aches and pains. In 1763, Stone presented his
findings to the British Royal Society.

Several decades later, further studies in the medicinal value of the willow bark were being
conducted by two Italian scientists. These chemists, Brugnatelli and Fontana, determined that

the active chemical that was responsible for the medicinal characteristics in the willow bark was
the chemical salicin, which is the active ingredient of today's aspirin.

The name "aspirin" is the trade name of the drug based on the chemical salicin, properly known
as acetylsalicylic acid. The trade name "aspirin" was invented for the drug in the 1890s by the
Bayer Drug Company in Germany. The first bottles of aspirin actually went on sale to the public
just prior to the turn of the century, in 1899.

A. no later than 1758

A. caused fevers

We know that every year less than 100 people are attacked by sharks and about 5 to 10 of
these people die. But, let's look at the other side of the story - How many sharks do people kill?

Well, I think you already know this: People kill many more sharks. Every year, people hunt and
kill thousands of sharks. One reason people kill sharks is for sport; they hunt them just for fun.
Some people started to have contests to see who kill the most sharks or the biggest sharks.
Another reason that people kill sharks is for food. In some countries, such as the United States
and Great Britain, shark meat is a popular food. In other countries, such as China, people use
shark fins to make soup. Because so many people like to eat shark, fishing boats catch a lot of
sharks to sell for food. So, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks. Some
biologists are getting worried that the number of sharks is getting too small. That's why many
biologists think we should stop killing so many sharks, and instead try to protect them - or else
some day they may all be gone. Some countries have already passed some laws to help

protect sharks. The United States, for example, has passed laws that limit the number of sharks
that people can kill for food or for sport. So even though some people like to hunt sharks, we do
need to protect them.

1. How many sharks are hunted and killed every year?
A. thousands B. many C. five to ten D. one hundred
2. People want to kill sharks because________ ___
A. they are afraid of sharks.

B. shark meat is a popular food.

C. they get their enjoyment from killing sharks
D. B and C are correct

3. The number of sharks in the world is ___________
A. not getting worried by some biologists.

B. being killed.
C. getting bigger.

D getting smaller.

4. Why do biologists want to protect sharks?
A. Because they want to learn more about sharks.
B. Because of the number of sharks that were killed.

C. Because they are afraid someday sharks may no longer exist.
D. Because shark fins can be used in medicine.

5. Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage?
A. The governments prohibited people from killing sharks.
B. Laws have been passed in sharks' defence.

C. People like to hunt sharks.

D. People are killing many sharks for some reasons.
