The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious. They are endangered because poachers
hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory.
At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for ivory, which is used to
make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere.

“Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to the illegal ivory
trade,” Ginette Hemley, Fund’s vice president for species conservation, told the Washington Post in September.
And so our message is “Don’t buy it, and don’t take that chance.”
A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items between 1995 and 2002.
Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said.
As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones are used as a pain reliever in
traditional medicine. Even tiger’s whiskers are sold because some people in Asia think they are a good-luck
charm – like a rabbit’s foot in the United States. “Part of our job is education,” said Professor Dillon. “The other
part is law enforcement. So we have more than one strategy.”

Ratchsima, Bangkok, and Chon Buri. In fact, the 2007 SEA Games was to be hosted by Singapore, but Singapore
gave up the chance, as its new national sports stadium is under construction and will not be completed in time for

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.
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is big
news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment.
Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is "Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive
plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box, and a
bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse
cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When low quality appliances break,
many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a
customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message.
In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to
the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers empty the
bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles, wash them, and then fill
them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world, returning bottles
for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from
throwaway bottles.
The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again.
Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to
run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of
the world's precious resources.

C. Because customers change their ideas all the time. D. Because they produce less energy.

A. they can choose the cheapest products B. they can cast a lot to praise a producer.

correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a
disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes
which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect,
and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are
very supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents
help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for
him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very
little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes
Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not
so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They
want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held.
They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his
parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
Question 36: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to _____.
A. push their child into trying too much B. help their child to become a genius
C. make their child become a musician D. neglect their child’s education
Question 37: Michael Collins is fortunate in that ______.
A. his father is a musician B. his parents are quite rich
C. his mother knows little about music D. his parents help him in a sensible way.
Question 38: The phrase "crazy about" in the passage mostly means ______.
A. "surprised at" B. "extremely interested in"
C. "completely unaware of" D. "confused about"
Question 39: The word “They” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. competitions B. concerts
C. Michael’s parents D. Michael’s lessons
Question 40: The two examples given in the passage illustrate the principle that _______.
A. successful parents always have intelligent children
B. successful parents often have unsuccessful children
C. parents should let the child develop in the way he wants
D. parents should spend more money on the child’s education

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
following questions from 36 to 40
Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or
have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast
numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct.
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost
entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal
gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals
such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem.
International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our
planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in an
effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves. They then charge
admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world
organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals.
Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from
endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and
killed.
A. Endangered species B. Problems with industrialization
C. The Bengal tiger D. International boycotts

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.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a
disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes
which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect,
and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well - especially if the parents are very
supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help
him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him.
They even drive him 50 kilometres twice a week for violin lessons. Michael's mother knows very
little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael
enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael's friend, however, is not so lucky.
Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want
their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are
very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now
he always seems quiet and unhappy. (1)_______

Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and animals for his own use. This not only
provided more abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot of ground. We tend to forget
that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms
we know today.
As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organize their
knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of
plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect. For
example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments
of that organ, Thus, an extract made from a heart-shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart
problems.
Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our present
knowledge of drugs and their uses.

beginning in September, January, and March; the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of
shorter sessions of varying length.
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students
who wish to complete three degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the
opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters. In addition, although most students
begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any of the other quarters.
Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used efficiently to
serve the greatest number of students. But there are several disadvantages as well. Many faculty
complain that the eleven-week term is simply not long enough for them to cover the material required by
most college courses. Students also find it difficult to complete the assignments in such a short period of
time.
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system, some
colleges and universities have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty and
students have more time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional term
provides more options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those
students who wish to graduate early.
Question 43. How many terms are there in a quarter system?
A. 1 regular term and four summer term. B. 3 regular terms and one summer term.
C. 2 regular terms and two summer term. D. 4 regular terms and one summer term.
Question 44. A semester system ______.
A. not very popular in the United States B. has eleven-week sessions
C. has two major sessions a year. D. gives students the chance study year round.
Question 45. The word “them" in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. courses B. faculty C. students D. weeks
Question 46. The word “instituted" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. established B. attempted C. considered D. recommended
Question 47. When may students begin studying in a school that uses a quarter term?
A. At the beginning of any quarter. B. Summer semester only.
C. September. D. At the beginning of the academic year.
Question 48. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

It’s always thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a
real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man- dominated
society. Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women’s place was in the kitchen
and women’s work was housework. In many places, women were not even allowed to go to school.
Women had no rights, even the right to choose a husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high
positions in society so they thought they were more intelligent and important than women. Men
considered women their property. Sometimes, women were mistreated by their husbands and suffered
this as a fate. Many parents did not even want to have female children.
Thanks to the women’s liberation movement, women have nowadays proved that they are equal to
men on every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as
intelligent as him. Women can do everything that men can and women can do one thing that no men can;
they produce children.

WOMEN
In developing countries, where three fourths of the world’s population live, sixty percent of
the people who can’t read and write are women. Being illiterate doesn’t mean they are not
intelligent. It does mean it is difficult for them to change their lives. They produce more than half
of the food. In Africa eighty percent of all agricultural work is done by women. There are many
programs to help poor countries develop their agriculture. However, for years, these programs
provided money and training for men.
In parts of Africa, this is a typical day for a village woman. At 4. 45 a. m, she gets up,
washes and eats. It takes her a half hour to walk to the fields, and she works there until 3. 00 p.
m. She collects firewood and gets home at 4. 00. She spends the next hour and a haft preparing
food to cook. Then she collects water for another hour. From 6. 30 to 8. 30 she cooks. After
dinner, she spends an hour washing the dishes and her children. She goes to bed at 9. 30 p. m.
International organizations and programs run by developed nations are starting to help
women, as well as men, improve their agricultural production. Governments have already passed
some laws affecting women because of the UNO Decade for Women. The UNO report will
affect the changes now happening in the family and society.
