When people first began to write, they did not use an alphabet. Instead, they drew small   pictures to (31)                                                            the objects they were writing about. This was very slow because there was a different picture for any word.

The  Ancient  Egyptians  had  a  (32)                       of picture writing that was described hieroglyphics. The meaning of this writing was forgotten for a very long time but in 1799 some scientists discovered a stone near Alexandria, in Egypt. The stone had been there for (33)      a thousand years. It  had  both  Greek  and  hieroglyphics  on  it  and  researchers were finally able to understand what the hieroglyphics meant.

An  alphabet  is  quite different (34)                      picture writing. It consists of letters or symbols that represent a sound and each sound is just part of one word. The Phoenicians, who lived about 3,000 years ago, developed the modern alphabets. It was later improved by the Roman‘s and this alphabet is now used (35)               throughout the world.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below:

Women in Britain are better off today than they used to be. At the beginning of the 19th century, women seem to have almost no rights at all. They could not vote, or even sign a contract. Their marriages were arranged by their parents. They were once kept at home and if they were allowed to work, they were never given responsible jobs. It is strange to think that, as far as we know, most women were happy with that situation.

Today the position is quite different. Women now can vote and choose their own husbands. In 1970, a law was passed to give them an equal share of property in the case of divorce, and in the same year the Equal Pay Act gave them the right to get equal payment with men for work of equal value.

Despite these changes, there is no doubt that there are still great differences in status between men and women. Many employers seem to ignore the Equal Pay Act. It is also more difficult for a woman to get promotion than a man does.

There is sex distinction in England although it has not been so serious as it was. More and more women go out to work, earn more money, get high positions in the society, and live independently. However , there are two great problems to solve. The first problem is men's attitude. They always think that women are lower in rank and are the weaker sex. We do not know exactly how long it will take them to change their mind. And the other problem which is much more difficult is women's attitude. They should be ready to struggle to change their fate.

30.   At the beginning of the 19th century ,                             .

A. British women were better off than today.

B. Women seemed to have almost no rights at all.

C. British women had the right to vote.

D. British women had the right to choose their husbands.

31.   The Equal Pay Act was passed in                              .

A. 1960

B. 1962

C. 1970

D. 1971

32.   Which of these following sentences is NOT TRUE?

A. All the employers in Britain obey the Equal Pay Act.

B. In 1970, a law was passed to give British women the right to share property equally in the case of divorce.

C. The Equal Pay Act gave British women the right to get equal payment with men for work of equal value.

D. Women cannot get promotion as equal as men.

33.   What is men's attitude?

A. They consider women to be equal to them.

B. They always look down upon women.

C. They consider women the stronger sex.

D. They consider women the weaker sex.

34.   What should women do to eliminate sex distinction?

A. They should suffer with pleasure.

B. They should struggle to change their fate.

C. They should earn more money.

D. All are correct

Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each question below

What makes science fiction the literature choice for so many? Arthur C. Clarke, the novelist and scientist, gave a good answer once when asked why he chose to write in this genre: “Because,” he said, “no other literature is concerned with reality.”

Clarke didn’t say what sort of reality he had in mind, but there are two that suggest themselves. One of those significant realities of our time is the rapid advances in science and technology. Those are the things that have made the twentieth century move so fast, in ways that earlier generations could hardly even imagine, and science fiction has played some part in accelerating their progress. In the 1930s there was no television, radio showed little interest in science, even the daily newspapers covered it scantily and not very well; but science fiction magazines were exploring in every newsstand edition the latest concepts from genetics and nuclear physics to cosmology. I think it is fair to say that a majority of the world’s leading scientists today were first turned on to their subjects by reading science-fiction stories.

The other reality that has contributed to a fascination with science fiction is that the central fact of contemporary life is rapid, ever-accelerating change, change that alters the rules of all our lives all the time. And science fiction is, in essence, the literature of change.

Read the following passages and choose the correct answer.

"They told me I could never walk again. But when I listened to music, I forgot all about the pain. I found a strength I didn't know I had." Ninety-two-year-old Tina Goodman, who regained her ability to walk, thanks to music.

This is one of the many stories in Fettaro's book " The Healing Power of Music". Fettaro tries to show just how important music is in our lives and how it can help us to be healthy and happy.

According to Fettaro, music can make sick people well again. In fact, his book comes with a CD of recordings, each one specially designed to help with a number of health problems.

Fettaro, a well-known music therapist, promises that by reading his book, you will be able to develop the healing power of music in your life. He says this will help you fight headaches and back pain, as well as reduce stress, high blood pressure, and many other common illnesses.

Certainly, I accept that listening to certain types of music can help with particular problems, such as stress. I'm also comfortable with Fettaro's claim that by reading his book, you will be able to create a peaceful environment to help you relax in your home. I found the relaxation and breathing techniques very useful. Similarly, his claim that music will help you sleep better seems reasonable. Yet when he goes on to promise his music therapies will help cure depression and even cancer, he begins to sound a little bit unbelievable.

Nevertheless, for those of you who are interested in the power of music to heal, this is a great book to buy. It's a thorough introduction to the history and practice of music therapy. Fettaro writes in a simple, easy to understand way and shows clearly how music can affect us positively. His basic message- that music can improve our lives- is well- presented and clear. It may even be true that certain techniques covered here can help people recover from unpleasant health problems. However, his promises of "amazing results" seem impossible to justify.

33. What was Tina Goodman's problem?

A. stress

D. headaches

34.  What is the purpose of the CD?

A. to work as an audio book.

B. to support what Fettaro claims.

C. to supply some kind of relaxation.

A.  He claims music can cure you of common illnesses.

B.  " The Healing Power of Music" is his first book.

C.  He is renowned.

D.  His writing style is simple and understandable.

36. Which statement is not true?

A. Music can help you sleep better.

B. Music has positive effects.

C. It is necessary to create a peaceful environment when you read Fettaro's book.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below:

Women in Britain are  better off today than they  used to be. At the beginning of the 19^th century, women seem to have almost no rights at all. They could not vote, or even sign a contract. Their marriages were arranged by their parents. They were once kept at home and if they were allowed to work, they were never given responsible jobs. It is strange to think that, as far as we know, most women were happy with that situation.

Today the position is quite different. Women now can vote and choose their own husbands. In 1970, a law was passed to give them an equal share of property in the case of divorce, and in the same year the Equal Pay Act gave them the right to get equal payment with men for work of equal value.

Despite these changes, there is no doubt that there are still great differences in status between men and women. Many employers seem to ignore the Equal Pay Act. It is also more difficult for a woman to get promotion than a man does.

There is sex distinction in England although it has not been so serious as it was. More and more women go out to work, earn more money, get high positions in the society, and live independently. However , there are two great problems to solve. The first problem is men's attitude. They always think that women are lower in rank and are the weaker sex. We do not know exactly how long it will take them to change their mind. And the other problem which is much more difficult is women's attitude. They should be ready to struggle to change their fate.

30.  At the beginning of the 19^th century ,___________.

A. British women were better off than today.

B. Women seemed to have  almost no rights at all.

C. British women had the right to vote.

D. British women had the right to choose their husbands.

31. The Equal Pay Act was passed in ___________.

A. 1960                      

B. 1962                      

C. 1970                      

D. 1971

32. Which of these following sentences is NOT TRUE?

A. All the employers in Britain obey the Equal Pay Act.

B. In 1970, a law was passed to give British women the right to share property equally in the case of divorce.

C. The Equal Pay Act gave British women the right to get equal payment with men for work of equal value.

D. Women cannot get promotion as equal as men.

33. What is men's attitude?

A. They consider women to be equal to them.

B. They always look down upon women.

C. They consider women the stronger sex.

D. They consider women the weaker sex.

34. What should women do to eliminate sex distinction?

A. They should suffer with pleasure.

B. They should struggle to change their fate.

C. They should earn more money.

II. Read the  passage and  choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.

  Many people believe that watching television has resulted in lower reading standards in schools. However, the link between television and printed books is not as simple as that. In many cases, television actually encourages people to read for example, when a book is turned into a TV series, its sales often go up.            

  One study of this link examined six-year-old children who were viewing a special series of 15-minute programmes at school. The series was designed to encourage the love of books, as well as to develop the basic mechanical skills of reading. Each programme is an animated film of a children's book. The story is read aloud while certain key phrases from the book appear on the screen, beneath the picture. Whenever a word is read, it is also highlighted on the TV screen.

  One finding was that watching these programmes was very important to the children. If anything prevented them from seeing a programme, they were very disappointed. What's more, they wanted to read the books which the different parts of the series were based on.

 The programmes also gave the children more confidence when looking these books. As a result of their familiarity with the stories, they would sit in pairs and read the stories aloud to each other. On each occasion, the children showed great sympathy when discussing a character in a book because they themselves had been moved when watching the character on TV.

D.  They felt excited.                         

6.  What kind of film is each program?

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 36 to 42.

            The advent of the Internet may be one of the most important technological developments in recent years. Never before have so many people had access to so many different sources of information. For all of the Internet’s advantages, however, people are currently becoming aware of some of its drawbacks and are looking for creative solutions. Among the current problems, which include a general lack of reliability and numerous security concerns, the most crucial is speed.

            First of all, the Internet has grown very quickly. In 1990, only a few academics had ever heard of the Internet. In 1996, over 50 million people used it. Every year, the number of people with access to the Internet doubles. The rapid growth has been a problem. The computer systems which run the Internet have not been able to keep up with the demand. Also, sometimes a request for information must pass through many routing computers before the information can be obtained. A request for information made in Paris might have to go through computers in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo in order to obtain the required information. Consequently, service is often slow and unpredictable. Service also tends to be worse when the Internet is busiest – during the business day of the Western Hemisphere - which is also when companies need its service the most.

                        Some people are trying to harness the power of networked computers in such a way to avoid this problem. In 1995, a group of American universities banded together to form what has come to be known as Internet II. Internet II is a smaller, more specialized, fewer users are allowed access. Consequently, the time required to receive information has decreased.

                        Businesses are beginning to explore a possible analogue to the Internet II. Many businesses are creating their own “Intranets”. These are systems that can only be used by the members of the same company. In theory, fewer users should translate into a faster system. Intranets are very useful for large national and international companies whose branches need to share information. Another benefit of an Intranet is an increased amount of security. Since only company employees have access to the information on the Intranet, their information is protected from competitors. While there is little doubt that the Internet will eventually be a fast, reliable service, industry and the academic community have taken their own steps toward making more practical global networks.

36. According to the author, what is one reason why the Internet is sometimes slow?

A. Phone lines are often too busy with phone calls and fax transmissions to handle Internet traffic.

B. Often a request must travel through many computers before it reaches its final destination.

C. Most people don’t have computers that are fast enough to take advantage of the Internet.

D. Scientists take up so much time on the Internet, thus slowing it down for everyone else.

37. The word “obtain” is closest in meaning to “_______”.

A. understand

B. acquire       

C. distribute                           

D. purchase    

38. The word “harness” is closest in meaning to “_______”.

A. utilize        

B. disguise     

C. steal                                   

D. block

39.  With which of the following conclusions would the author probably agree?

A. Fewer academic communities need to create their own internet systems.

B. The technology used by internet creators is too complex for computer owners to understand.

C. An Internet system with fewer users would be quicker.

D. Companies who develop their own intranets are limiting their information data base.

40. All of the following are advantages of business “Intranets” mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _______.

A. they provide a higher level of security                  

B.  they share information with other company

C. Intranets are very useful for large national and international companies whose branches need to share information

D. they move data faster
