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 full- duplex 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 year.

Read the passage then circle the best option A, B, C or D to complete the following questions or

During the 19th century, women in the U. S organized and participated in a large number of reform

movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of

alcohol, and most importantly to free slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of women

and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone were feminists and abolitionists who

supported the rights of both women and blacks. A number of male abolitionists, including William Lloyd

Garrison and Wendell Phillips also supported the rights of women to speak and participate equally with

men in anti- slavery activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered women a

previously denied entry into politics. They became involved

primarily

in order to better their living

conditions and the conditions of others.

When the Civil war ended in 1865, the 14th, and 15th, Amendments to the Constitution adopted in

1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women. Discouraged but resolved,

feminists influenced more and more women to demand the right to vote. In 1869, the Wyoming Territory

had yielded to demands by feminists, but eastern states resisted more stubbornly than ever before. A

woman's suffrage bill had been presented to every Congress since 1878 but it continually failed to pass

until 1920, when the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote.

correct word for each of the blanks from 41 to 50.

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 20th 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.

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 54 to 63.

Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly
cherished goal. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group
organization and attitudes.

In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse. The group contains nearly all
of each individual’s life. The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each member. There is an
interlocking identity of individual, group and task performed. Means and goals become one, for
cooperation itself is valued.

While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterature societies, secondary cooperation
is characteristic of many modern societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their
lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare
of the group is not the first consideration. Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the
fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary, prestige, or power. Business offices and professional
athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation.

In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work.
The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is loose and fragile.
Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it breaks down when the common
means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and
hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.

Question 54:

What is the author’s main purpose in the first paragraph of the passage?

MODERN SURGERY

The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe
shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear of hospitals
and j anesthetics. Patients do not often believe they really need surgery - cutting into a part of the body as opposed
to treatment with drugs.

In the early years of the twentieth century there was little specialisation in surgery. A good surgeon was

capable of performing almost every operation that had been devised up to that time. Today the situation is
different, operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of 60 years ago. The heart can be safely
opened and its valves repaired. Clogged blood vessels can be cleaned out, and broken ones mended orreplaced. A
lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a comfortable
and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern
operation.

The scope of surgery has increased remarkably. Its safety has increased too. The hospital stay after surgery has been
shortened to as little as a week for most major operations.

Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible. They include the replacement of damaged
blood vessels with stimulated ones made of plastic; the replacement of heart valves with plastic substitutes; the
transplanting of tissues such as the lens of the eye; the invention of the artificial kidney to clean the blood of
poisons at regular intervals and the development of heart and lung machines to keep patients alive during very long
operations. All these things open a hopeful vista for the future of surgery.

'Spare parts' surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still a dream of

PANDEMIC

Diseases are a natural part of life on Earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow too quickly,
and there would not be enough food or other resources. So in a way, diseases are nature's way of keeping the Earth
in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people. For example, in 1918, an
outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six months. Such terrible outbreaks
of a disease are called pandemics.

Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In 1918, a new
type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and killed
large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them
have a few things in common.

First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, while they may kill many

people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of this would be the Marburg virus. The
Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly. About 70-80% of all the people who get
the Marburg virus die from the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most
people die within three days of getting the disease. This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread
to a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill
its victims, so it had more time to spread.

While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common. Doctors carefully

MODERN SURGERY

In the early years of the twentieth century there was little specialisation in surgery. A good surgeon was
capable of performing almost every operation that had been devised up to that time. Today the situation is
different, operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of 60 years ago. The heart can be safely
opened and its valves repaired. Clogged blood vessels can be cleaned out, and broken ones mended orreplaced. A
lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a comfortable
and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern
operation.

The scope of surgery has increased remarkably. Its safety has increased too. The hospital stay after surgery has been
shortened to as little as a week for most major operations.

One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants. Until a few years ago, no
person, except an identical twin, was able to accept into his body the tissues of smother person without reacting
against them and eventually killing them. Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of x-rays and
special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for periods of a year or
more. Kidney's have been successfully transplanted between non-identical twins. Heart and lung transplants have
been reasonably successful in animals, though rejection problems in humans have yet to be solved.

Question 61: Most people are afraid of being operated on

---A. in spite of improvements in modern surgery B. because they think modern drugs are dangerous
C. because they do not believe they need anesthetics D. unless it is an emergency operation

Question 62: Surgeons in the early years of the 20th century, compared with modern ones,

Question 65: Modern surgeons

---A. do not like to perform operations of the new type
B. are not as highly qualified as the older ones

C. are obliged to specialise more than their predecessors

D. often perform operations which are not really needed

Question 66: The word irrational in the passage can best be replacedby

PANDEMIC

First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, while they may kill many
people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of this would be the Marburg virus. The
Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly. About 70-80% of all the people who get
the Marburg virus die from the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most
people die within three days of getting the disease. This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread
to a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill
its victims, so it had more time to spread.

While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common. Doctors carefully

monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in 2002 and 2003, doctors carefully
watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic.

Question 71: This passage is mainly about

---A. how to prevent pandemic diseases. B. pandemic diseases.

C. pandemic diseases throughout history. D. why pandemics happen.

Question 72: According to paragraph 1, how are diseases a natural part of life on Earth?

A. They prevent pandemics. B. They help control the population.
C. They help the world grow quickly. D. They kill too many people.

Question 73: Based on the information in thepassage the term pandemics can best be explained as ---- A. diseases
with no cure B. a deadly kind of flu

C. diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of people

D. new diseases like SARS or the Marburg virus

B. Careless doctors who do not watch the spread of diseases

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

<i><b>duplex</b></i>

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 full- duplex 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

<i><b>gazed</b></i>

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

<i><b>tried it out</b></i>

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 year.
