The fascination of D. H. Lawrence's personality (1) is attested by all who knew him,
and it abundantly (2) survives in his fiction, his poetry, his numerous prose writings, and

But by a remarkable triumph of development, he evolved a highly spontaneous mode of
free verse that allowed him to express an unrivalled (5) mixture of observation and
symbolism. His poetry can be of great biographical interest (6), as in “Look! We
Have Come Through!”, and some of the verse in “Pansies” and “Nettles” is brilliantly
sardonic. But his most original contribution is “Birds, Beasts and Flowers”, in which he
creates an unprecedented (7) poetry of nature, based on his experiences of the

contemplates (8) death.

The sense of déjà vu (French for “seen before”) is the strange sensation of having been
somewhere before, or been experienced/experienced your current situation before,

_____(1)_______. (I) As a rule, these organisms are confined to the area near the
entrance, but some species penetrate to the darkest reaches of the cave. (II) Properly,
cave life may be divided into those forms living exclusively in caves and those that live in
caves part of the time but forage in the open. The cave cricket and some cave fish are
examples of animals modified for continuous life in caves. ______(2)______. (III)
Animals that live completely in caves commonly have as their diet the edible matter,
such as micro-organisms and decaying organic material, carried into the caves by
streams. (IV) Bats exemplify animals that utilize caves for resting and hibernating
purposes but forage in the open for their food. Rich deposits of guano, or bat droppings,
have accumulated over the centuries in caves where bats gather together in large group.
Such detritus deposits support a variety of insects and simpler organisms. The guano is
sometimes marketed as fertilizer. The number of bats inhabiting a large cave may be
astoundingly large. _____(3)_______. (V) Because lack of sunlight prevents green-plant
growth, fungi make up the only plant life that can grow in caves. Ground waters
containing dissolved organic substances frequently provide nutrients for the fungi. In
past ages people often took shelter in caves, notably in Western Europe, the
Mediterranean regions, China, southern Africa, and Chile. _____(4)_______. Actually,
during the Ice Age, people, like other animals, sought refuge in caves from time to time.
Many artefacts of Palaeolithic and Neolithic peoples have been found in refuse heaps
near the entrances of caves. Primitive paintings have been found on the walls of some
caves, notably in France and Spain. _____(5)_______.

a) Although such species are blind, as is usual among animal forms completely
adapted to cave life, their organs of touch are highly developed
b) These early cave inhabitants popularly have been called cavemen, but the
term is misleading, for it implies that a race of people at one time dwelt
exclusively in caves
c) Modern critics acclaim the artistic beauty of these paintings, attributed to the
Cro-Magnon, a race of the late Palaeolithic period
d) Through evolutionary processes some plants and animals have become
specially adapted to living in caves
e) For example, hundreds of thousands of the animals can be observed in the
evening flight of bats from Carlsbad Caverns

There was a land where the summers were short and chilly. The sun was situated
(1) low on the sky and the shadows of the trees were long. Once each summer a huge
flock of butterflies settled in the forests of this land. On the first mild day they were sitting
on all branches of the trees, looking for the first flowers to unfold (2). And so it
happened (3), and the butterflies sucked the honey and made themselves ready for
mating, knowing that the summer was so short, and that they only had this one day to
finish their divine decision. But in the flock of butterflies there was one who did not like
its way of life and had troubles with it, because it knew it was not as it was meant to (4)
be. The butterfly was different and was not let into the flock – it was too different. Lonely
and painful it was. Therefore, the butterfly took a decision and flew away from the flock.
It heard the flock blow the whistle: “Look, he is leaving, because he is not like us. Good
heavens, what a weird (5) being! Happy we, that we are all alike!” But the little butterfly
flew south, pondering (6) about its difference. Warmer and warmer it grew, and higher
and higher the sun shone from the sky. The heat warmed his wings and he felt more and
more melancholic without knowing why. But suddenly its eyes caught sight of (7) a
forest far below. There were flowers on the trees, and the air was warm and humid (8).
He flew down and rested on a beautiful tree filled up with (9) flowers and hundreds of
butterflies. But they all had other colours on their wings, and he felt lonely again. But all
of a sudden he saw a butterfly, who looked a little like himself. It looked lonely too, and
she told him that she had flown astray(10), and that she had quite another origin.
“Loneliness,” she said. “Oh, I know it, but it helps you to know yourself better.” He fell in
love with this beauty and they decided to stay together. “We will stay in the rain forest,”
they said. “Although we do not belong there.” Two different butterflies – two different
souls – two different origins. And they created a new world together. A new butterfly was
born, so loneliness and difference can lead to (11) happiness and holiness.

TV viewers around the world watched in horror last January as hundreds of thousands
of Africans fled rivers of fiery lava that spewed down the slopes of Congo's Mount
Nyiragongo and flooded the streets of Goma. ______(1)_______. Researchers have
estimated that more than one billion people—approximately 20 percent of the world's
population—are living in volcanic hazard zones. Experts expect the number to rise. The
rapid growth of population, urbanization, and economic development are driving more
and more people to settle around volcanoes, significantly increasing the potential loss of
life and property in the event of eruptions, said Robert Tilling, a senior volcanologist with
the U.S. Geological Survey's Volcano Hazards Program. ______(2)_______. "In the last
20 years there have been at least 80 encounters between airliners and ash clouds,
causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage and lost revenue," said Tilling. Every
day, tens of thousands of passengers fly over volcanically active regions such as the
North Pacific, which has more than 100 active volcanoes, and four to five ash-producing
eruptions each year. ______(3)_______. On December 15, 1989, a KLM flight carrying
231 passengers flew into a cloud of ash that had erupted from Alaska's Redoubt volcano
and drifted 150 miles away. ______(4)_______. The plane sustained $80 million in
damages. In 1995, an international network of Volcanic Ash Advisory Centres was
established to counter the increasing threat.

a) In this age of international air travel, even people not living in the vicinity of a volcano
are at risk, he noted
b) All four of the engines lost power and the plane dropped nearly two miles in altitude
before the crew could restart the engines
c) The vivid horror of that eruption, which killed about 75 people, was a stark reminder
of the powerful—and often deadly—forces that lie beneath the surface of Earth's
majestic volcanoes
d) A near-fatal accident in 1989 involving a 747 jetliner alerted authorities to the
increasing dangers of drifting clouds of volcanic ash

Having an operation can be a daunting experience, often because people are


unprepared and do not know what to expect. _______(1)________. Operations are
sometimes referred to as surgery, or surgical procedures. Having an operation does not
necessarily mean that you will need to stay in hospital overnight. ______(2)______. If
you have a small operation as an outpatient, you will be given a local anaesthetic to
numb the area being operated on. Some hospitals also have day surgery units. Patients
can visit day surgery units for small operations and be allowed to return home later in
the day or evening. For more major operations, you may have to stay in hospital
overnight or, in some cases for several nights. _______(3)________. For major
operations, a general anaesthetic will often be used. This means that you will be
unconscious (like being in a deep sleep) throughout the procedure. Operations are now
safer, simpler, and more successful than ever before. More surgery is being carried out
as day surgery often because of new techniques such as ‘keyhole’ surgery (known as
minimally invasive surgery). ________(4)_______.

a) The length of time in hospital depends on the type of operation being performed,
your general health, medical history and any complications which may arise
b) Many small operations can be performed in a hospital’s outpatient department and
you will be allowed to go home afterwards
c) Much of this fear can be avoided by finding out what the operation involves before
you go to hospital

___(1)____ . Among this ancient body of oral literature were myths and legends created
to explain the natural phenomena of night and day and the changing seasons. Ballads,
sagas, and epic tales were told by the fireside or in courts to an audience of adults and
children eager to hear of the adventures of heroes. ___(2)____. The first literature
written specifically for children was intended to instruct them. During the Middle Ages the
Venerable Bede, Aelfric, St. Aldhelm, and St. Anselm all wrote school texts in Latin,
some of which were later used in schools in England and colonial America. ___(3)____.
The hornbook, invented at the end of the 15th cent., taught children the alphabet,
numerals, and the Lord's Prayer. Alphabet books were popular in battledore and in
chapbook form. The New England Primer taught the alphabet along with prayers and

States consisted of gloomy and pious tales—mostly recounting the deaths of
sanctimonious children—written for the edification of Puritan boys and girls. ___(4)____
. Later works written for adults but adapted for children were Daniel Defoe 's Robinson
Crusoe and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels. In 1729 the English translation of
Charles Perrault 's Tales of Mother Goose became popular in England. A collection of
Mother Goose rhymes was published in 1765 by John Newbery , an English author and
bookseller. Newbery was the first publisher to devote himself seriously to publishing for
children. ___(5)____. Pirated editions of Newbery's works were soon published in the
United States by Isaiah Thomas and others. ___(6)____. This time the didacticism was
of an intellectual and moralistic variety, as evidenced in the sober, uplifting books of
such authors as Thomas Day , Mary Sherwood, and Maria Edgeworth in England and in
the United States by Samuel Goodrich (pseudonym: Peter Parley) and Martha Finley
(pseudonym: Martha Farquarson), who wrote the famous Elsie Dinsmore series.

Dave's a funny chap! He never wants to ___(1)___ in the evenings, but when he does,

minutes, I managed to persuade him to come to the pub. Well, we had a nice evening,
and the 'quick drink' turned into a longer drink; the more Dave and I drank, the more we

Last week I telephoned a computer company to complain about a computer that I had
bought. I had had the computer for just 2 days when it stopped working. I thought it
would be a short dialogue where they would agree to replace it or fix it but I was wrong.
They kept me waiting for over half an hour while they played me some awful music.
Every 2 minutes a voice interrupted the music and said, "Please hold. All our operatives
are busy at the moment", and then the music continued. This always___(1)___
me______, both because I hate the music they play, and because I know that I'm paying
to listen to it. Anyway, eventually someone answered the phone and took all my details,
then put me through to the technical support department. I then had to give all my details
again. The person asked me something about the 'BIOS Settings', and I told him that I
didn't understand what he meant. Then he started talking to me as if I was 6 years old -
he even asked me to check to see if I had plugged the computer in! I hate being
patronised like that so I told him that he didn't need to___(2)___to me. That was a
mistake because he became even less friendly and tried to___(3)___me______ saying
that the problem was caused by the software I had installed. He___(4)___about how the
software must be causing the problem, using lots of technical language, and tried to
persuade me that it wasn't the company's problem. Eventually I interrupted him and told
him that I hadn't installed any software, and the only software on the computer had been
installed by his company before I received the computer. When he heard this, he just
said "Oh" and then put me on hold again, so I had to listen to that awful music for
another 10 minutes. Finally, someone from the marketing department spoke to me and
told me that he was very sorry that my computer didn't work, but they were very busy
and wouldn't be able to send an engineer to fix it for another 2 weeks! But the thing that
really___(5)___me______ was that he said that if it was urgent I could pay £50 and the
engineer would come the next day!

deadline to meet at work, and her boss had been ___(3)___her ______by constantly

her to do it well. As she was telling me she started ___(4)___ herself ______again, to
the point that she started shaking. I tried my best to ___(5)___it______, and even
offered to help her with some of the work, but I don't think she'll be able to relax again

Recently, there have been a number of programmes on British TV concerning


archaeology, and I must say that I’ve been fascinated by them. The other day I saw a
programme that followed an archaeological dig in London. In the introduction to the
programme, the presenter told us that the name ‘London’ was ______the old Roman
name for the settlement – ‘Londinium’. Anyway, they had ______an old, rusty piece of
metal, but when they cleaned it the experts discovered that it was, in fact, a sword. They
had already ______the history of the site, and thought that the sword might ______to
the Roman period. In order to be sure, they had to ______ it ______to a university for
‘Carbon dating’, which enables scientists to tell exactly how old something is. At the end
of the programme they told us that the sword was, indeed, Roman. I was amazed by the
idea that a Roman soldier had lost his sword so long ago, and now I could see it on the
screen in front of me in 2001.

Bob: Oh! I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?
Jane: Well, we were in a bar and I was chatting to another friend about clothes and
jewellery and that sort of thing, when Jackie suddenly ___(2)___at me, saying that it was
alright for me because I always had good clothes and that I didn't understand what it
was like for people who couldn't afford to buy the latest fashions.
Bob: Wow! It sounds like she might be a bit jealous or resentful. Did you know she felt
like that?
Jane: No! I didn't have a clue until she___(3)___at me. She must have been
___(4)___it______. She'd been really friendly towards me until then.
Bob: I suppose it all came out because she'd had a couple of drinks.
Jane: Yes. I guess so. I wanted to talk about it with her but she just stormed off - I
haven't seen her since, and she won't return my calls.
Bob: Perhaps she's embarrassed about it - maybe Sue could help - she and Jackie have
been friends for years.
Jane: Mmm. Good idea ...
Jane: Sorry to___(5)___Sue; I can see you're busy, but I wondered if I could have a
word with you later.

Last Saturday, Dr. Grammar decided to go to the beach with his girlfriend. As you
probably know, Britain is not famous for its sunny, dry weather, so Dr. Grammar wanted
to use this opportunity to ___(1)___some sunshine, and improve his suntan. Dr.
Grammar has very pale skin because he lives in Britain, and because he spends most of
his time indoors reading grammar books. Luckily, his girlfriend is a very practical woman
and she brought some suntan lotion with her, to prevent them both from getting sun
burnt. After she had ___(2)___some of the lotion__(3)____ Dr. Grammar's back, he
___(4)___and started to read his grammar books (he's obsessed!). But after a while he
got very hot and decided to go for a swim to cool down. However, he forgot to reapply
more suntan lotion, which had been ___(5)___by the sea. It only took about 20 minutes
for his back to get very burnt. He ___(6)___a T-shirt ___(7)___and sat on his towel,
watching the other people on the beach. Just as a couple of rather attractive women
were walking past, Dr. Grammar's girlfriend opened her eyes. Although she is practical,
she is also rather jealous, so she slapped Dr. Grammar on the back and told him to stop
___(8)___the women___(9)___. She was surprised when Dr. Grammar screamed, until
(after he stopped crying) he showed her how burnt his back was. Despite seeing his
very red back, which had a white hand-print in the middle of it, she was not sympathetic
- as she said, it would teach him either to remember to use suntan lotion, or to avoid
___(10)___women!

At this time of year, more people feel depressed than at other times of year. Although
people have been getting depressed for thousands of years, it is not something that we
fully understand. Some people say that depression is caused by events in your past that
make you feel bad or guilty, and that these feelings____(1)____ at you until you deal
with them, but psychologists say that this is more likely to lead to other types of
behaviour such as aggression or obsession. Some people say that it is because we see
other people having a good time with their friends and families over Christmas and New
Year, and it reminds us that our relationships are not so good, which
___(2)___us______. Others say, perhaps jokingly, that it is the stress of shopping and
organising Christmas and New Year celebrations that ___(3)___ us ______. I wouldn’t
disagree with this, but being ___(4)___is not the same as being depressed. When you
are depressed, you do not see it as a temporary situation, even if it is. You also lack
energy, so even if friends invite you to parties, you often don’t ___(5)___ going to them.
Depression can be difficult to overcome; telling someone who is depressed to
___(6)___will not help, but being with them and listening to them might. Another
explanation is not connected to psychology; it’s biological. Apparently, when we don’t
get enough sunshine, we become depressed and behave in less friendly ways. If this is
true, then perhaps the solution for some people might be to have a holiday in a hot
country – it certainly wouldn’t do any harm!

Did you see the match last night? Ramsgate and Margate were ____(1)_____ to see
who would win the South East Region League Cup. It was exciting from the moment
they ____(2)_____ to the moment the referee blew the final whistle. By the end of the
first half, the score was 2 all and Ramsgate's best striker had been carried off the field
after being injured. During the half time interval, the only discussion you could hear was
about which of the 2 substitutes, Smith or Cole, the Ramsgate manager would send on
to replace the injured striker. When the second half started and the players ran onto the
pitch, it was clear that the manager had ____(3)_____ the new player on the team; Cole.
The crowd started chanting, "____(4)_____ Cole, we need another goal!" Although there
were lots of chances and a few shots that hit the goal posts, after 30 minutes the score
was still the same. Then the crowd noticed that Smith was ____(5)_____ at the side of
the pitch. The manager made another substitution and sent on Smith to replace Cole.
With 5 minutes to go, Smith got the ball from Jones and fired it at the goal. What a shot!
It hit the back of the goal before the keeper realised it had been kicked, and the crowd
went wild. 5 minutes later it was all over; Ramsgate became the new League Cup
holders, and Smith became the town's new hero.

If you are in a country where English is not commonly spoken, finding opportunities to
practise your spoken English, and receive help with pronunciation, can be difficult.
However, wherever you are in the world, you will nearly always be able to find examples
of written English. I can't think of a country where you can't buy or borrow novels,
newspapers or magazines, or get access to the WWW. It's important to choose a text
that you are interested in, not only because it will provide you with the type of vocabulary
and structures that you are likely to need, but also because your interest will provide you
with the necessary motivation to actively study. It's also important to choose a text that is
at about the right level for you - you'll know how difficult it is by reading the first few lines.
When you are reading, you should ____(1)_____words, phrases and structures that you
can use in your own English later. It's a good idea to carry a small notebook with you so
that you can ____(2)_____ any examples that you think might be useful. The first time
you read a text, it's usually best not to stop and reach for your dictionary or notebook. If
you read the text quickly and don't worry about the bits you are not sure about, you will
get an understanding of the general meaning of the text, and you'll probably be
surprised at how much you understand. However, when you have finished reading the
text, you should ____(3)_____ the parts that you weren't sure about. By studying these
parts, you are not just practising your English but learning something new. If the problem
is an unknown word, you can ____(4)_____it _______ in a dictionary. Translation
dictionaries are very useful, but you should also use a monolingual English dictionary.
Collins, Oxford, Cambridge and Longman all publish good dictionaries for students of
English. They provide the meaning and pronunciation of words and phrases, and help
you to use them correctly. A grammar book will be able to help you with the general
structure of the sentence. If you can photocopy the text, or save it on a computer, you
can also create your own exercises. Remove the examples you want to practise (i.e.
items of vocabulary, or particular grammatical features such as articles, verb forms or
prepositions). Then, later in the week, you can try to fill in the gaps, just like you are
doing in this test exercise. Finally, you should keep another notebook where you can
____(5)_____ the notes you have made in your small notebook. You can also include
information you have found in grammar books, and lists of useful words. However, you
must promise yourself that you will open, read and use this notebook at least once a
week because the real key to learning English, or anything else for that matter, is to
practise, practise, practise!

The damage caused by sunburn is well known - most people have experienced sore or
painful skin as a result of spending too much time in the sun. But this is not the only
effect - scientists tell us that sunburn can also increase your chances of getting skin
cancer.
This is becoming a serious problem in Britain. Many people here think that it isn't hot
enough to get burnt (which is not true), and others are so happy to see the sun that they
forget about protection in their desperation to turn their white skin brown.

During the second half of the 18th century, the stability of the Augustan Age was gradually lost in
a period of social change and growing unrest. The Industrial Revolution was turning England
from an agricultural nation into an industrial one, and large numbers of farm workers were forced
to seek employment in the new factories in the towns, which often resulted in long hours and
miserable working conditions for those who were lucky enough to find a job there and poverty
and wretchedness for those who were not. The period of industrialisation brought wealth and
prosperity to the country at large, but the enthusiasm with which it was received by some people
was not shared by all.

period, ___________.

alterations in the society

D) not everybody was satisfied with the conditions of Industrial Age
E) a large number of people were made redundant in the late Industrial Age

It started out to be a simple exploratory operation. Then, suddenly, the patient’s heart stopped.
Her brain waves started levelling off. The medical team immediately began emergency treatment
to try to start the heart again. At last the chief surgeon announced that the patient had died.
Minutes later, much to almost everyone’s amazement, the “dead” patient came back to life. Her
heart started, and her brain waves began to assume normal patterns. Later she told the doctors
that she had been fully aware of everything that had happened while “dead”. She believed that
she came back to life because she wanted so badly to live longer. She said death was not
frightening, but she wasn’t ready to go yet. The experts admit that they have no satisfactory
explanations for these near-death experiences (NDE).

Perhaps you think of Pinocchio's Blue Fairy, the Good Witch of the West from “The Wizard of
Oz”, or Peter Pan's “Tinkerbell” when you imagine a fairy. But in fact, fairies don't like to be seen
by people at all. These tiny creatures can appear and disappear in the blink of an eye. You may

The environment is something you are very familiar with. It's everything that makes up our
surroundings and affects our ability to live on the earth—the air we breathe, the water that
covers most of the earth's surface, the plants and animals around us, and much more. In recent
years, scientists have been carefully examining the ways that people affect the environment.
They have found that we are causing air pollution, deforestation, acid rain, and other problems
that are dangerous both to the earth and to ourselves. These days, when you hear people talk
about “the environment”, they are often referring to the overall condition of our planet, or how
healthy it is.

Basque language is the tongue of uncertain relationship spoken by close to a million people,
most of whom live in North-East Spain and some of whom reside in South-West France. The
language has eight dialects. Speakers of Basque are for the most part bilingual, and there are
many Basques who do not speak the language. Basque is definitely not an Indo-European
tongue. Some scholars believe it is descended from Aquitanian, which was spoken on the
Iberian Peninsula and in South Gaul in ancient times. Other linguists think Basque is akin to the
Caucasian languages and suggest that its speakers came from Asia Minor to Spain and Gaul
c.2000 B.C.

It’s easy to understand how a bird can fly – it’s lightweight and has wings. But how does a huge
airplane get off the ground? The plane’s engine pushes the plane forward. As it moves, air
flowing around the wings creates lift. The lift increases as the plane gathers speed. The plane
takes off once there’s enough lift to overtake gravity. When the plane is in the air, thrust from the
engines incessantly pushes the plane forward.

19) The writer of the passage points out that ___________.

A) speed is the main factor in enabling a huge airplane to fly


B) only the engine helps an airplane to take off
C) a airplane can take off even without speeding on the ground

A) nobody has extensively analysed how a bird can fly so far


B) how a big airplane can fly cannot be explained as simply as how a bird can fly
C) the way a bird can fly is entirely similar to the way an airplane can fly

Early in the morning on October 12, 1492, a sailor looked out to the horizon from the bow of his
sailing ship, the Pinta, and saw land. After 10 long weeks at sea, from the port of Palos, Spain,
Columbus and his crews saw the New World. The following day, 90 crew members from
Columbus's three-ship fleet set foot on the island of Guanahani in the Bahamas and planted the
flag of their sponsors, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. Columbus continued his
exploration, discovering other lands. The first Columbus Day celebration in the United States
took place on October 12, 1792 – 300 years after his first discovery – but it still wasn't an official
holiday for another 100 years. Days commemorating special events like Columbus Day or
birthdays of famous leaders, like Martin Luther King Jr., become national holidays and help us
remember the important contributions these individuals made to our country.

22) According to the passage, it is wrong to say that ____________.

A) Columbus and his crew had a voyage lasting seventy days before they reached the land
B) Columbus could reach the land of America soon after he saw it

Eschatology is a doctrine concerning life after death and the final stage of the world. The origin
of this doctrine is almost as old as humanity; archaeological evidence of customs in the Old
Stone Age indicates a basic concept of immortality. Even in early stages of religious
development, speculation about things to come is not wholly limited to the fate of the individual.
Such devastating natural phenomena as floods, conflagrations, cyclones, earthquakes, and
volcanic eruptions have always suggested the possibility of the end of the world. Higher forms of
eschatological thought are the product of a complex social organism and an increased
knowledge of natural science. Often myths of astrological origin, the concept of retribution, or the
hope of deliverance from present oppressions provided the material or motive for highly
developed eschatologies.

25) As it is clear in the passage, Eschatology ____.

A) provided the early human beings with the way of continuing life forever
B) has recently been approved by the scientists as a field of study
C) is derived from the idea of immortality according to the archaeological studies
D) contributed much to the development of new ideas in both astrology and science
E) is entirely confined to natural science

26) It can be easily understood from the passage that the natural phenomena which
demolish the surrounding ______.

A) were tried to be explained with the field of Eschatology, but failed


B) are going to cause the human being to become extinct according to Eschatology
C) do not have any relationship with the field of Eschatology
D) are not religious themes but natural problems
E) were thought to bring life on the earth to end

27) According to the paragraph, the more people know about the natural science, ______.

A) the more they are interested in the varieties of Eschatology


B) the less they are enthusiastic about the concept of Eschatology
C) the higher they reach the rank in the society
D) the more certain they have become about the accurate existence of Eschatology
E) the more accurate results they have in Eschatology
"Why is My Loyalty Questioned?" has been asked by people at different times during America's
history. They're surprised that others might wonder if they are loyal to the country that they
choose to live in and have always loved and supported. After the attack on Pearl Harbour during
World War II, Japanese Americans were discriminated against as they were put into relocation
camps simply because of their ethnic background. Later, they proved their loyalty by
volunteering to defend America, the very country that mistreated them. It's hard to imagine that it
could still happen today. Since September 11th, 2001 lots of people question Arab Americans
just because some terrorists are Arabs. We learned that good people are good people no matter
what their cultural background is.

28) It is stated in the passage that people who have somehow chosen to live in America
____.

A) have tried to give many harms to the country


B) think that the quality of being loyal to the country is of great importance
C) have been constantly questioned by the government about their loyalty for many years
D) cannot understand why they are asked whether they are faithful in the country or not
E) share the same opinion about being loyal to the country with the ones who have just
moved in

A) refused to defend America since they were treated badly by the citizen there
B) have never had the opportunity to prove their loyalty to America
C) had to battle against the Arabs in order to show their loyalty to America
D) have always been singled out just like the Arabs throughout the history of America
E) were sent to relocation camps after the attack on Pearl Harbour during World War II

30) This passage is mainly concerned with ______.

A) the fact that the foreigners in America have been asked about their loyalty
B) the event that Arab Americans betrayed the United States of America
C) the fact that Japanese Americans were treated wrongly throughout the history of America
D) the difference between Arab Americans and Japanese Americans
E) the reason why Japanese Americans were discriminated in America
William Blake is the English poet, painter, and engraver, who created a unique form of illustrated
verse; his poetry, inspired by mystical vision, is among the most original in the language. Blake,
the son of a hosier, was born in London, where he lived most of his life. Largely self-taught, he
was, however, widely read. As a child, Blake wanted to become a painter. He was sent to
drawing school and at the age of 14 was apprenticed to James Basire, an engraver. After his 7-
year term was over, he studied briefly at the Royal Academy, but he rebelled against the
aesthetic doctrines of its president, Sir Joshua Reynolds. Blake did, however, later establish
friendships with Henry Fuseli, whose works may have influenced him. In 1784 he set up a print
shop; although it failed after a few years, for the rest of his life Blake hardly earned his living as
an engraver and illustrator.

31) ) As it is mentioned in the passage, William Blake ________.

A) intended to become a painter, but had to abandon his purpose in 1784


B) is chiefly famous for his career as an engraver and painter
C) almost completely gained the knowledge by himself
D) created a new style in the structure of painting
E) was taught nothing by the people around him

32) It can be inferred from the passage that at the age of 21, William Blake _________.

A) succeeded in opening a print shop and made great profit from it


B) started to lead his life on his own by selling his masterpieces in poems
C) could become very rich only when he started to sell his poems
D) had to work for James Basire, an engraver for seven years
E) attended the Royal Academy for a short time

33) According to the writer of the passage, Henry Fuseli’s works ______.

A) are likely to have made changes in the way Blake thought and behaved in those days
B) are the main reason why William Blake quit going to the Royal Academy
C) were the source of inspiration for Blake to create new poems
D) caused Blake to yell against the aesthetic doctrines of the Royal Academy’s president,
Sir Joshua Reynolds
E) certainly affected William Blake in any way

Bibliography is stemming from “the writing of books”, originally, the writing or copying of books;
since the mid-18th century, the word has come to mean a list of books or other forms of written
material on a subject, or the technique of compiling such a list. Certain kinds of information are
supplied in a bibliography: authors, titles, editions, and dates and places of publication; style of
type, book size, and other physical characteristics may also be included. Frequently,
bibliographies are annotated, that is, brief notes indicating the subject treated or commenting on
the usefulness of a book are appended. Bibliographies, essential to scholars and those involved
professionally with books—collectors, librarians, and dealers—can be useful sources of
information for all serious readers.

34) According to the paragraph, it is obvious that “the writing of books” ____.

A) has lost its basic meaning and merged into a new form of content
B) has been converted a little with the addition of the interpretation “list”
C) towards the first half of the 18th century, shaped into a new form
D) has uniquely included extra meanings such as “list, copy and other forms”
E) has gained great significance after the second half of the 18th century

35) It is implied in the passage that Bibliographies, rarely, _____________.

A) comprise of the rendering of the information and benefit about the books noted down in the
major book
B) give purely the names of the book, authors, titles, editions, and dates and places of
publication; style of type, book size, and other physical characteristics
C) are in lack of the sufficient explanation about the biography of the authors whose book has
been held as an example
D) find it sufficient to mention the essential information on the resources by which the readers
can easily reach at those books
E) do not refer to the origin of the resource because of the fact that it covers much place at the
back of the trace
36) One can easily understand from the passage that the main benefit of the bibliographies
________.
A) is to lead all the expert readers to the resource of finding the biography of the authors of the
trace
B) is to arouse all the people absorbed in reading these traces to make more crucial study on
the subject they are interested in
C) is to shuffle all the documents related with the substantial theme of the subject, which is
obligatory for the writer
D) is to convey the real intention of the writer; by the way, he can easily get through his aim
E) is to provide the readers to help themselves to have a pause in this life and think about the
subject they are reading on

Can your handwriting reveal your personality? While some employers now make use of
handwriting analysis, many psychologists remain sceptical. However, it is hard not to be
impressed by the report of an experienced graphologist on examining a sample of the
handwriting of the serial killer, Dennis Nilsen. Nilsen had a good brain, but was
egotistical and destructive according to his illegible handwriting, the graphologist said.

the number of people in our dreams is the important element. The more people in our
dreams, the happier we will be. Conversely, the fewer people in our dreams, the less
happy we will be. Psychiatrist Milton Kramer believes that the bad thing in a dream is to
be alone. There is something about interacting with people that produces happiness
both in our dreams and when we are awake.

58) One can easily understand from the passage that _____________.

A) living in crowds arouses fear in people when they are awake

How long may a man lie in the ground before he rots? The answer is, “it depends on
how deep you bury him”. Bury a corpse less than a meter and you leave it accessible to
insects and worms, which will reduce it to a skeleton in less than a year. Bury it two
meters deep and it will retain some flesh for at least a decade. The only way to remain
completely undamaged is to be frozen or mummified. The Russian horsemen found in
the tombs of the Ukok plateau owe their preservation to the water that seeped into them
and were then frozen by permafrost. Most mummies are created by very warm or cold
dry air drying them soon after death.

61) As it is suggested in the passage, the durability of a dead body ___________.

A) is partly related to the depth at which it is placed under the ground


B) holds an importance changing from culture to culture
C) can be maintained with the aid of insects and worms
D) can be sustained only when it is frozen with special instruments
E) is an ambition which hasn’t been realized by the experts, yet

62) The Ukok plateau, as claimed in the passage, has an interestingly different natural
structure and ____________.

A) therefore, the dead bodies of the Russian horsemen lasted


B) namely, the soil nature decomposes the corpses in a short period of time
C) in other words, the nature of both soil and water there can spoil even the most
endurable body
D) the Russian horsemen’s dead bodies couldn’t thus be preserved
E) for that reason, the dead bodies are generally buried into that vicinity

63) Upon reading the passage, one can assume that _____________:

A) insects and wombs cannot reach the newly buried body


B) under the ground, a corpse can last for more than ten years with the assistance of
a special soil
C) insects and worms do not exist in more than two meters’ depth of ground
D) mummies must be buried into a most deep ground sooner or later
E) a dead body never gets spoiled when it is in a depth of two meters

The question of who the American Indians are and how they came to live in North
America has long puzzled scientists. The most popular modern theory says that the
Indians came from Siberia to Alaska when the Bering Strait was not underwater. At that
time there was a land bridge between Asia and America. This “land bridge” was a result
of the fact that much of the water that used to cover the region became frozen in glaciers
during the Ice Age. This left the land dry and bare. With the water gone, wandering
bands of Siberian tribes simply walked over from what is now modern Russia to what is
now the modern United States.

64) One can conclude from the passage that __________.

A) the land bridge between Asia and America was a frozen land, the reason for
which couldn’t be explained

C) Russian land was once covered by water thoroughly
D) the wealth of the land of United States attracted the Siberian tribes

B) the real name of Bering Strait
C) how glaciers formed in very ancient times
D) the former accommodation of American Indians during the period of wars
E) the wonders about American Indians and their explanations in some way

The 50-million-year-old fossils of an ancient whale found in the Himalayan foothills of


Pakistan give strong evidence that modern whales are descended from a four-legged

People have been concerned with their hair since ancient times. In 1500 B.C., the
Assyrians, inhabiting the area known today as Northern Iraq, were the world's first true
hairstylists. Their skills at cutting, curling, layering and dyeing hair were known
throughout the Middle East. In fact, they were obsessed with their hair, which was oiled,
perfumed, and tinted. A fashionable courtier wore his hair cut in neat geometric layers.
Kings, soldiers, and noblewomen had their hair curled with a fire-heated iron bar,
probably the world's first curling iron. So important was hair styling in Assyria that law
dictated certain types of hairstyles according to a person's position and employment.

Every year in late December, a southward-moving current warms the water along the
Pacific coast of Peru. Because the warm current arrives around Christmas, the
Peruvians named it El Nino, "boy-child." Until the mid-1970s, El Nino was an
unrecognized local phenomenon, until scientists began to realize that El Nino, later
named El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), is part of a huge ocean and atmosphere
that is felt as far away as Australia and Indonesia. Every few years the El Nino current is
warmer than normal, causing greater ocean warming and consequently changes in the
