A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many households, despite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey of 1,256 people ages between18 and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37 per cent of the total housework, while the women estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70 per cent. This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not. When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt that housework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work outside the home were satisfied to perform 80 per cent - the majority of the household work - if their husbands did the remainder. Research has shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant. After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for men the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a man's share increases much less than the woman's. It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number of hours, which leads to anxiety and depression. The research describes housework as thankless and unfulfilling. Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing-up and childcare. Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to their professional duties. In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the children grow up. Distress for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage. Question 24: The word “remainder” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________. A. what is left B. what is done C. what is fulfilled. D. what is shared Question 25: Although women think men should share the housework, those who do not have a paid job share_______ of the chores. A. 37 per cent B. 70 per cent C. 80 per cent D. 14 per cent Question 26: After getting married, _________. A. men do less housework B. women do twice as much housework C. men do more housework D. women have a bigger house Question 27: Women who do not have jobs become depressed_________. A. if their husbands do 20 per cent of the chores B. if they have to do more than half of the housework C. because they have no self-respect D. when their husbands do not help them Question 28: The word “norm” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_________. A. strange thing B. usual thing C. changing thing D. unequal thing Question 29: According to the passage, a good relationship is the one in which_________. A. women do 80 per cent of the housework C. men do more housework than women B. women and men divide the housework equally D. women do 14 hours of housework Question 30: Objects of the survey were_________.

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.

In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautions approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in week and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available- but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter. Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people-often rather frightening looking people- and realises that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.

A. they are taught by many different teachers B. they do not attend lessons in every subject C. the teachers do not want to be friendly D. the teachers give most attention to the more academic pupils Question 37. The teachers at secondary school do not talk much to the pupils because_______. A. they want to keep a certain distance with the pupils C. the pupils are afraid of them B. they are too busy with their academic work D. it is the regulation of the school Question 38. In secondary schools every pupil having problems should_______. A. know how to ask for help B. be freed from any pressure of academic work C. be able to discuss his problems in class D. be able to discuss his problems with any teacher Question 39. What will the school rightly expect the pupils to do? A. they study hard B. they think carefully C. they understand well D. they firstly obtain the help Question 40.

ARE HUMAN BEINGS GETTING SMARTER? Do you think you're smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores-on average, three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvement is known as "the Flynn effect," and scientists want to know what is behind it. IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. So what was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests? Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition since it results in babies being born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kind of problem solving that intelligence tests require. Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test. Test takers didn't do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test; they did better on sections that required a special kind of reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for patterns and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set. According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be. Question 36. The Flynn effect is____________. A. used to measure intelligent B. an increase in IQ test scores over time C. unknown in some parts of the world D. not connected to our experiences Question 37. The Flynn effect must be the result of____________. A. heredity B. our environment and experiences C. taking fewer tests D. memorizing information Question 38. IQ tests evaluate____________. A. our knowledge B. our environment C. our intelligence D. our memories Question 39. Which sentence from the article gives a main idea? A. Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. B. Because we take so many tests in our lives, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. C. Test-takers didn’t do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test. D. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for pattern and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set. Question 40. According to the article, newer education techniques include____________. A. exposure to many tests B. children finding things out themselves C. memorizing information D. improved test scores Question 41. Why does the author mention computer games? A. to give an example of technology that improve our visual intelligence. B. to explain why young people have poor vocabularies. C. to encourage the reader to exercise. D. to show that young people are not getting more intelligent. Question 42. Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with? A. People today are more intelligent than in the past in every way. B. People today have fewer problems to solve. C. People today are taking easier tests. D. People today have more visual intelligence. 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 43 to 50. Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives. Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job. Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors. Êmployers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers. Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences. There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation – that is, by watching others perform behaviors. More complex forms of learning in clued learning languages, concepts, and motor skills. Question 43. According to the passage, which of the following is learning in broad view comprised of? A. Acquisition of academic knowledge B. Acquisition of social and behavioral skills C. Knowledge acquisition and ability development D. Knowledge acquisition outside the classroom Question 44. According to the passage, what are children NOT usually taught outside the classroom? A.

It becomes less challenging and complicated when people grow older. C. It plays a crucial part in improving the learner’s motivation in school. D. It takes place more frequently in real life than in academic institutions. Question 47. It can be inferred from the passage that social workers, employers, and politicians concern themselves with the study of learning because they need to ______. A. understand how a stimulus relates to the senses of the objects of their interest B. change the behaviors of the objects of their interest towards learning C. thoroughly understand the behaviors of the objects of their interest D. make the objects of their interest more aware of the importance of learning Question 48.
