When I was younger, I hated being the eldest child and the only girl in my family. But now I am older, I realize that
being 'Big Sister' actually has its advantages. First of all, I get special treatment from my parents and brothers. I get my own
room, and brothers have to do all the heavy work around the house. Another benefit is that, being the eldest, I have learned to
be responsible and dependable. For example, my parents often leave my brothers in my care when they go out. I also try my
best in whatever I do in order to be a good example for my brothers. The experience I've had in taking care of my brothers has
prepared me for my own family in the future. So, even though I didn't choose to be the eldest child and the only girl in my
family, I have succeeded in making this situation work to my best advantage.

SIBLINGS

When, we are children, our sibling - that is, our brothers and sisters - are our first friends and first enemies. At the end
of life, they are often our oldest friends and oldest enemies. The effect of sibling relationships in childhood can last a lifetime.
Many experts say that the relationship among brothers and sisters explains a great deal about family life, especially today when
brothers and sisters often spend more time with one another than with their parents. Studies have shown that sibling
relationships between sister-sister pairs and brother-brother pairs are different. Sister pairs are the closest. Brothers are the
most competitive. Sisters are usually more supportive of each other. They are more talkative, frank, and better at expressing
themselves and sharing their feelings. On the other hand, brothers are usually more competitive with each other. Experts agree
that tfe relationship among siblings is influenced by many factors. For example, studies have shown that both brothers and
sisters become more competitive and aggressive when their parents treat them even a little bit differently from one another. But
parental treatment is not the only factor. Genetics, gender, life events, people, and experiences outside the family all shape the
lives of siblings. Recently, one researcher demonstrated another factor in sibling relationships. It was discovered that children
dislike watching their siblings fight. In fact, they respond to arguments by taking sides -supporting one sibling and punishing
the other.

VII. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.

The Hopi are part of the Pueblo Indian culture. Today they live mostly in northeastern Arizona, at the edge of The
Painted Desert. Something that sets the Hopi off from other cultures is that it is in some senses a maternal rather than a paternal
culture.

The Hopi are divided into clans, or families, along maternal lines, and, as a result, a child becomes a member of the
mother's clan rather than the father's. In addition, ownership of property, such as land and houses, passes from mother to
daughter instead of from father to son, as it does in other Native American cultures. However, women do not have all the
power in this culture. Societal authority still rests in the hands of men, but that authority does pass to men from their mothers.

its special respect paid to the elderly but also because the young must become independent.

Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to be friends with
them or that you don't trust them. But perhaps this kind of intuition isn't as hard to explain as it may seem. For instance, people
give out body language signals all the time. The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood. If you
hold your arm tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that you are being defensive.
Holding your head to one side shows interest in the other, while an essay, open posture indicates that you are self-confident.
All this affects the way you feel about someone. Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone. This may be
because of something as simple as the fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly. Your
feelings about a stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you were happy as a child.
Since even a single word can bring back a memory such as that, you may never realize it is happening.

C. revises one's past memories D. points to one's childhood

II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.

Education was of primary importance to the English colonists and was conducted at home as well as in established
schools. Regardless of geographic location or finances, most Americans learned to read and computer numbers. For many, the
Bible and other religious tracts were their only books; however, the excellent language contained in such works usually made
them good primers. Mam families owned one or more of Shakespeare's works, a copy of John Banyan's classic 'A Pilgrim's
Progress’, and sometimes collections of English literary essays, poems, or historical speeches.

In 1647 the Massachusetts School Law required every town of at least 50 households to maintain a grammar school.
The law was the first to mandate public education in America, in the middle colonies at the time, schools were^ often
dependent on religious societies, such as the Quakers and other private organizations. In the South, families employed private
tutors or relied on the clergy to conduct education. At the outset, most elementary schools were for boys, but schools for girls
were established in the eighteenth century in most j cities and large towns. In spite of the informal atmosphere of most
American schools, the literary rate in the colonies of mid-eighteenth-century America was equal to or higher than in most
European countries.

Before the American Revolution, nine colleges had been founded, including Harvard, William and Mary, Yale, the College of
New Jersey (now Princeton), Brown, Rutgers, Dartmouth, and Kings College (later Columbia University). By1720 the natural
sciences and modern languages were being taught, as well: as courses in practical subjects such as mechanics and agriculture.
At the end of the eighteenth century, medical schools were established at the College of Philadelphia and at King's College.
46. Which of the following words best describes the English colonists' attitude towards education?

university, but I spend quite a lot on transport. I also spend quite a lot on clothes, as 1 like to wear things that are in fashion."
Colin Peters, who is studying engineering, disagrees. "I don't spend anything on clothes," he said, /'unless you count
climbing boots. I'm very keen on climbing, and you do need special equipment, some of which is very expensive. Luckily, my
parents gave me money for my birthday in November. Not much of my money goes on transport, because 1 have a bicycle."
Diana Bell is a first year fashion student. "I make all my own clothes. This should save me money, but in fact, the materials are
very expensive. I don't know how I would manage if I didn't sell some of the dresses and hats I make to the other students.
Everything is expensive," she said. "That includes the rent, food, transport and heating for the flat in winter." Jack is a science
student in his final year. "What do I spend my money on?" Well, not on clothes, and not a lot on going out in the evening. My
rent is expensive, and I suppose I spend quite a lot on books.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR JOB INTERVIEWS

You've been invited for interview find now you want to make sure you do everything within your power to get the job.
So what do you need to do to prepare yourself for the big day?

Firstly, you should find out as much as you possibly can about the position, the company, the industry and even the

interview. You should go to your prospective employer's website on the Internet, where the company presents itself as it wants
to be seen; relevant trade journals will then tell you how it is viewed by others. You should perhaps also speak to people who
work or have worked for the company, if at all possible.

All this information will give you a great deal to talk about during the interview and so help create the right
impression. The more you know, the greater your competitive edge over other candidates.

To help increase confidence, many people practise rhe interview in frant of a mirror. However, you should instead try it out
with a real person: it's far more realistic and it gives you the chance to ask him or her for some feedback on your performance
In particular, you should practise answers to common questions you can expect to be asked. These include:

• What do you consider to be your major strengths and weaknesses?
• Why do you want to work for this company?

• Where do you see yourself in five years' time?

An interview is also your chance to decide whether you want to work for the company, so be prepared to ask three or
four relevant questions yourself. You shouldn't ever underestimate the effect of your appearance on the interviewer: make sure
you wear a suit to the interview, even if the normal working environment of the company allows for more informal dress.
Punctuality is another crucial factor with regards to first impressions, and for this reason you should always arrive at
the interview site at least 15 minutes before your scheduled meeting. All that's left now is the interview itself. See over for
information and advice on successful interview strategies.

46. Before a job interview, you should...

A. get some information about your future companyB. wander on the Internet to get some work experience
C. meet the interviewerD. chat with your prospective employer on the Internet

47. ...helps you easily surpass other candidates.

A. Your ability to speak B. Your ability to start a conversation

C. The company's impression on youD. The information you know about the company

C. ask the interviewer some questions D. give the interviewer a chance to ask you some questions
49. Before an interview, you should...

second job. We are not concerned with those looking for a second temporary position while hunting for a permanent job. Nor
are we concerned with those leaving an unsatisfactory job within the first few weeks. Instead, we will be dealing with those of
you taking a real step on the career ladder, choosing a job to fit in with your ambitions now that you have learned your way
around, acquired some skills and have some idea of where you want to go.

What sort of job should you look for? Much depends on your long-term aim. You need to ask yourself whether you
want to specialise in a particular field, work your way up to higher levels of responsibility or out of your current employment
into a broader field.

Whatever, you decide, you should choose your second job very carefully. You should be aiming to stay in it for two or
three years.

This job will be studied very carefully when you send your letter of application for your next job. It should show
evidence of serious career planning. Most important, it should extend you, develop you and give you increasing responsibility.
Incidentally, if the travel bug is biting, now is the time to pack up and go. You can do temporary work for a while when you
return, pick up where you leftoff and get the second job then. Future potential employers will be relieved to see that you have
got it out of your system, and are not likely to go off again.

II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.

Upon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts on which the hopes for the new democracy were
pinned was the ideal that its citizens world be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and the opportunity for
individual achievement and education. It was believed that in a free nation where the power belongs to the people, the
commitment to education defines the progress ofthat democracy and is the catalyst for future progress. This core value has not
only stood the test of time but has also grown in importance. In this new information Era and international economy, education
is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of change. It is important to recognize,
however, that we approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn't
require the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for
instance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled, and 60 percent as unskilled.
Today, our world has changed. The proportion of 'unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while skilled jobs now account for
at least 60 percent of the workforce. Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of
academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime.

A. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far
B. the government of the United States wants to drive, social changes in their own ways
C. education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce
D. any American citizen who wants to change his driving license must be very well-educated

47. The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US ... between the 1950s and now. 
A. has remained the same B. has changed dramatically

C. has been reversed D. has changed slightly

48. The phrase 'enlightened individuals' in the first sentence most likely means 'people who...'
A. always appear brilliant-looking in public B. have often been well-exposed to light

C. have acquired an adequate level of education D. bring light to anywhere they go

49. In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author's point of view, any individual must…....
A. know well all his / her rights and be ready to grasp his / her opportunity of success in life

B. study carefully the history of American educational and vocational systems

C. even since their creation understand thoroughly the combination of academic knowledge and practical skill

D. move actively forward in the new Information Era and international economy with a prestigious diploma 50. 50. Which of
the following titles would be best for the passage?

C. READING

I. Read the passage below and decide which answer (A, B, C or D) best fits each space.

Many countries face a somewhat more serious economic problem in the form of an unfavourable trade (36)...with
other nations. Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country's imports exceeds (37)... of that country's exports.
For example, if a country buys 10 billion dollars in products from other countries, yet sells 10 billion dollars of its own
(38) ...overseas, its trade is 20 billion dollars. Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they
(39)...natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import (40) ...materials or
manufactured goods. On effect of trade deficit is the flow of currency out of a country in the (41) ... of an under-developed
nation, this can cause many financial difficulties, (42)...failure to meet debt payments and obstacles to the creation of an
industrial base. Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States, a large trade deficit is (43)...for
alarm. American products, made by well-paid workers in U.S industries, cost more to produce than those (44)...in places
like Asia, where labour and material costs are much lower. Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on (45) ...
produced by domestic industries.

II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.

The second half of the twentieth century saw more changes in technology than in previous two hundred years.
Penicillin has already been discovered and used to treat infections; there have been many remarkable advances in medicine that
have helped to increase our average life expectancy way beyond that of our ancestors. Incredible innovations such as television
have changed the way we spend our leisure hours. Perhaps the most important breakthrough, however, has been the microchip.
Nobody could have imagined, when it was first invented, that within a matter of years, this tiny piece of silicon and circuitry
would be found in almost every household object from the kettle to the video recorder. And nobody could have predicted the
sudden proliferation of computers that would completely change our lives, allowing us to access information from the other
side of the world via the Internet or send messages around the world by e-mail at the touch of a button. Meanwhile, research
into other aspects of information technology is making it easier and cheaper for us to "talk to friends and relations around the
world.

46. What period saw more changes in technology than in previous two hundred years?

II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.

Western people rely on technical and mechanical solutions in everything thdj do. Refrigerators preserve their food,
washing machines clean their underwear and computers are supposed to solve all their problems. When they are ill, they rely
on the surgeon's knife. If their hearts are running down, then they must be repaired; if they cannot be repaired, they should be
replaced, just as an old car sometimes gets a new engine. But up to now we have had a shortage of donors to give their hearts:
to keep one person alive, another donor had to die. Nowadays there is more and more talk about using monkeys. Every
monkey has a near-human heart, and humans have always been over careful in respecting the lives and well-being of other
animals. This includes the life and well-being of other humans. Therefore, in the early years of the 21st century I was told 
-the mass killings of monkeys may occur. We'll need to use -their hearts for human consumption.

Monkeys, on the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives, Homo Sapiens, or man. They know fear, of
course, and they face real dangers, but they are also more intelligent than us. They create no unnecessary dangers for
themselves; they run no businesses, chase no money, are unimpressed by gold - that utterly useless metal, and they do not care
at all about hell or evil spirits. I have a vague feeling that it is not monkeys' hearts that we ought to implant in ourselves, but
monkeys' brains.

46. According to the author, Westerns believe health problems can be solved by …….
A. spending more money on scientific research B. taking more precautions

A. people will care less about other human beings B. monkey hearts will form part of our diet

C. monkeys will become extinct D. monkey hearts will be used in transplant operations
49. The author suggests that...

A. human beings will return to a more natural lifestyle B. we are wrong to think of ourselves as cleverer than monkeys
C. monkeys would be better at running the world than humans D. scientists should work out how to do brain transplants
50. The main point the author is making is that humans...

A. make life more complicated that it needs to be B. have no right to make use of other animals
C. should worry less about growing old D. are similar in many ways to monkeys

PLANET EARTH

The planet Earth is 4,600 million years old. It is difficult for us to think about such an enormous length of time because
it has little meaning for us. We can. however, simplify the idea to make it more understandable. We can compare the planet
Earth to a person of forty-sfx years of age.

Nothing is known about the first seven years of this person's life. Very little information exists about the middle period
either. It was only at the age of forty-two that the Earth began to flower.

Dinosaurs and great reptiles did not appear until one year ago. when the planet was forty-five. Mammals only arrived
eight months ago. in the middle of last week, man-like apes became ape-like men and began to communicate with each other.
Last weekend, the Ice Age covered the Earth.

During that short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth. In one minute, he has increased his numbers
to terrible proportions, and has caused the death of hundreds of species of animals. He has robbed and destroyed the planet in
search for fuels. Now he stands like a violent, spoilt child, delighted at the speed of his rise to power, on the edge of the final
mass destruction and of killing all the life which exists in the solar system.

46. The passage tells us that...

A. a great deal is known about how the Earth was created
B. life on earth began relatively recently

C. more is known about the first part of the Earth's life than the middle part
D. scientists are well-informed about the middle'part of the Earth's life
47. We are informed by the author that...

A. the dinosaurs appeared during the middle period B. mammals and great reptiles both appeared at the same time
C. there were more than forty-five kinds of great reptilesD. ape-like men appeafed before that last Ice Age

A. the time when man first evolved from apesB. what has happened since the Industrial Revolution
C. the effects of farmingD. the period before the last Ice Age

49. It would appear that the main-danger ahead is that …..

A. man will destroy everything on Earth B. man will use up all the fuels
C. there will be a population explosion D. more species of animal may die out
50. The author's general view of man seems to be that ……

II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C, or D) to each question.

The deserts of the world are not all covered with sand. Many of them have surfaces of rock or clay or small stones.
They are not flat, either; they often have high hills and deep valleys. There is some plant life in many parts of the desert. There
is little rain in the desert, but it does fall often enough for most plants. The deserts of the world are not uninhabited. People also
live outside oases, but these people are not farmers. They have camels, goats, donkeys, sheep, etc. These animals can live on
the desert plants and do not need much water. The people of the desert have to move constantly from place to place, they must
always look for grass or desert plants for their animals. They usually live in tents. When there is no more food for their
animals, they fold up their tents, put them on their camels and donkeys., and move to another place. In good years, when there

is not enough food for their animals, they trade their skins and their goats and camel hairs with the people of oases for wheat
and fruit. But in bad years, when there is not enough food for their anirnals, the people of the desert would attack the oases'
people. But they are also hospitable. No man in the desert would ever refuse to give a stranger food and water.

II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.
THE EFFECTS OF DESERT WEATHER

A desert is a type of landscape that receives little precipitation. Deserts are normally defined as areas that receive
annual precipitation of less than 250mm. But some places such as Tucson, Arizona receive more but are still called deserts.
That is because they have a much higher rate of evaporation. Many environmentalists argue that desert regions are increasing.
This process is called desertification. It happens when useful soil is blown away by wind. Then the temperature rises, and an

area that was once fertile becomes desert. They say that this is due to global warming. It is also due to overdevelopment. Both
of these problems are major threats to humanity.

True deserts have very sparse vegetation. These deserts exist in the most arid regions of Earth. In these places, rainfall
is rare and infrequent. Deserts have a reputation for supporting little life. But this is not true. Deserts have many animals that
hide during daylight. About one-fifth of the Earth is covered in desert.

Desert landscapes are often composed of sand and rocky surfaces. Sand dunes and stony surfaces called regs are often
found in deserts. Cold deserts have similar features but receive snow instead of rain. Antarctica is the largest cold desert. The
largest hot desert is the Sahara.

Most deserts have an extreme temperature range. The temperature is very low at night. This is because the air is so dry
that it holds little heat. The desert cools as soon as the sun sets. Cloudless skies also increase the release of heat at night. Sand
covers only about 20% of Earth's deserts. There are six forms of deserts. One of the forms is a mountain or a basin desert.
Hamada deserts are comprised of plateau iandforms. Regs consist of rock pavements. Ergs are formed by sand seas.
Intermontane basins occur at high elevations. Finally, badlands are arid regions comprised of clay-rich-soil.

46. The word precipitation in the passage is closest in meaning to...

A. heat B. moisture C. desertification D. sand

A. the temperature B. the sun C. the air D. the desert

II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.

Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth's history called the Mesozoic Era, which is also known as
the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated

the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to re-emerge.
The word "dinosaurs" comes from two Greek words meaning "terrible lizard". Dinosaurs were not lizards, but their appearance
could be truly terrifying. The', biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as mature elephant and nearly equaled the'
size of most modern-day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80
to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however; some were actually not larger than a chicken.

Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaurs to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth's climate. It
is believed that temperatiires dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not
having fur or feathers for protecting, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species
having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive.

A. The History of Earth B. The Metabolism of Dinosaurs

A. It was rather uniform. B. It guaranteed their survival.
C. It made them the largest creatures ever on earth. D. It varied quite greatly.

II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.

Scientists believe they now have scientific evidence to prove that ecosystems work better when there is a greater
variety of species within them. This biodiversity is being lost destroying natural mechanisms that could repair the damage
caused by man.

Findings show that losing plants and animals is not only reducing our quality of life but actually endangering our very
existence. We cut down rich rain-forests and replace them with one species plantations, such as pine and eucalyptus. We
plough up meadows rich in different grasses and herbs and replace them with one grass, for instance rye or wheat.

When a natural ecosystem is simplified the basic processes in the ecosystem are altered arid even damaged. Without
their biodiversity they are not able to serve as the natural cleaners of our planet. No longer are they able to absorb the carbon
dioxide that is being produced in excess. The result is global warming, caused by the increase in the "greenhouse effect", and
ultimately, or even sooner, there will be a change in the wprld's climate.

46. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. How Ecosystems Work Better B. The Loss of Biodiversity C. The Variety of Species D. Natural Mechanisms
47. Which of the following is NOT a species used to replace a rich ecosystem?

A. To show natural mechanisms at work. B. To give examples of the loss of biodiversity.
C. To give examples of variety of species. D. To show how ecosystems can work better.

A. The basic processes are altered. B. There is loss of biodiversity.

C. There, is global warming. D. There is a change in the climate.

books are useful: in fact, there are about four thousand books with titles that begin with the words 'How-to". One book may tell
you how to earn more money, another may tell you how to save or spend it, and another may explain how to give your money
away. Many How-to books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a career and how to succeed in it. If you fail,
however, you can buy the book How to Turn Failure into Success. If you would like to become very rich, you can buy the
book How to Make a Millionaire. If you never make any money at all, you may need a book called How to Live on Nothing.
One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal problems. If you want to have a better love
of life, you can read How to Succeed in Love Every Minute of Your Life. If you are tired of books on happiness, you may prefer
books which give step-by-step instructions on how to redecorate or enlarge a house.

II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.

The excitement of snorkelling in a clear tropical sea is hard to explain to someone who hasn't done it. If you expect to
have the opportunity of trying it when on holiday, it is well worth bringing a snorkel if you can get hold of one. Experts now
recommend a separate breathing tube.

Many swimmers take a deep breath before diving with a snorkel. This is a mistake, because it makes the body so light
that you dive with difficulty. It is best to take a couple breaths and then a normal relaxed breath in order to breathe in enough
for dive. Don't take repeated deep breaths before diving because this can lead to shortage of oxygen, which causes
unconsciousness without warning.

The backs of many snorkellers get badly burnt, for the snorkellers are so involved in the world below they forget about
the dangers of sunburn. The sea does not protect your back from the rays of the sun, and it is best to

wear a T-shirt. Snorkellers should also consider wearing shoes (or slippers), which may protect their feet from cuts from sharp
rocks which can easily become infected.

BUNGEE JUMPING

</div>
(47)<div class='page_container' data-page=47>

the water slowly, where a boat picks you up. The first bungee jump took place in Queenstown, in New Zealand, on 12
November 1988. Since then, almost half a million people have tried it and Queenstown has become famous for it. More than
90% of the people are on vacation there. Many of the tourists have come just to do the bungee jump. It has become such a

popular event that you can now bungee jump in many countries around the world.

The reason for its popularity is that it is so very exciting. It isn't very often that people get the chance to jump off a
bridge and survive! People pay US$85 for the experience. Another reason is that it is quite safe if the correct rope is used and
checked regularly.

However, there have been accidents (though not in New Zealand) when the rope broke. There's not much chance of
surviving the fall if this happens, and some deaths have been reported.

Bungee jumping first started a long time ago, in the Polynesian islands in the Pacific Ocean. The young boys there had
to jump from a tall tower with a rope made from plants tied around their ankles. They did this to show that they were brave
enough to become men.
