PASSAGE 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and
offices. For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or
typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can
communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office
computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates
that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising
annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week
published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t
telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the
part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large
work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing
them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to
accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and
many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are
not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is
set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.
77. With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?
A. The advantages of telecommuting
B. A definition of telecommuting
C. An overview of telecommuting
D. The failure of telecommuting
78. How many American workers are involved in telecommuting?
A. More than predicted in Business Week B. More than 8 million
C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today D. Fewer than last year
79. The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuters EXCEPT
A. the opportunities for advancement
B. the different system of supervision
C. the lack of interaction with a group
D. the fact that the work space is in the home
80. The word “resistance” in line 9 could best be replaced by
A. alteration B. participation C. opposition D. consideration
81. The word “them” in line 11 refers to
A. telecommuters B. systems C. executives D. responsibilities
82. It can be inferred from the passage that the author is
A. a telecommuter B. the manager of a group of telecommuters
C. a statistician D. a reporter

PASSAGE 4
Canada is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government modeled after

that of Great Britain. The official head of state in Canada is Queen Elizabeth II of Britain, who is
also Queen of Canada. The governor-general is the queen’s personal representative in Canada
and the official head of the Canadian parliament, although with very limited powers.
The federal parliament in Canada consists of the House of Commons and the Senate. The actual
head of government is the prime minister, who is responsible for choosing a cabinet. The system
is referred to as responsible government, which means that cabinet members sit in the parliament
and are directly responsible to it, holding power only as long as a majority of the House of
Commons shows confidence by voting with them.
The Canadian Senate has 102 members, appointed by the governor general on the advice of the
prime minister. Their actual function is advisory, although they may make minor changes in
bills. The real power, however, resides in the House of Commons, the members of which are
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
elected directly by the voters. General elections must be held at the end of every five years, but
they may be conducted whenever issues require it, and most parliaments are dissolved before the
end of the five-year term. When a government loses its majority support in a general election, a
change of government occurs.
89. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. The relationship between Canada and England
B. The process of general election in Canada
C. The Canadian system of government
D. The power of parliament
90. When does a change of government occur in Canada?
A. When the governor-general decides to appoint a new government
B. When the voters do not return majority support for the government in a general
election
C. When the prime minister advises the governor-general to appoint a new government
D. When the House of Common votes for a new government
91. The governor-general is described as all of the following EXCEPT
A. The official head of parliament
B. The head of government
C. The queen’s representative in Canada
D. The official who appoints the senate
92. The word “dissolved” in line 14 could best be replaced by
A. approved B. evaluated C. reorganized D. dismissed
A. majority B. parliament C. cabinet D. system
94. It can be inferred from the passage that the voters in Canada
A. choose the prime minister and the Cabinet
B. usually vote in general elections at the end of five years
C. trust their representatives in the House of Common to vote
D. determine when a change of government should occur
PASSAGE 5
Mickey Mouse was not Walt Disney's first successful cartoon creation, but he is certainly his
most famous one. It was on a cross-country train trip from New York to California in 1927 that
Disney first drew the mouse with the big ears. Supposedly, he took his inspiration from the tame
field mice that used to scamper into his old studio in Kansas City. No one is quite sure why he
dressed the mouse in the now- familiar shorts with two buttons and gave him the yellow shoes.
But we do know that Disney had intended to call him Mortimer until his wife Lillian intervened
christened him Mickey Mouse.
Capitalizing on the interest in Charles Lindbergh, Disney planned Mickey's debut in the short
cartoon Plane Crazy, with Minnie as a co-star. In the third short cartoon. Steamboat Willie,
Mickey was whistling and singing through the miracle of the modern soundtrack. By the 1930s
Mickey's image had circled the globe. He was a superstar at the height of his career.
Although he has received a few minor changes throughout his lifetime, most notably the
addition of white gloves and the rounder forms of a more childish body, he has remained true to
his nature since those first cartoons. Mickey is appealing because he is nice. He may get into
trouble, but he takes it on the chin with a grin. He is both good-natured and resourceful. Perhaps
that was Disney's own image of himself. Why else would he have insisted on doing Mickey's
voice in all the cartoons for twenty years? When interviewed, he would say, "There is a lot of the
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mouse in me." And that mouse has remained one of the most pervasive images in American
popular culture.
95. With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?

A. The image of Mickey Mouse
B. The life of Walt Disney
C. The history of cartoons
D. The definition of American culture
96. What distinguished ‘Steamboat Willie’ from earlier cartoons?
A. Better colour
B. A soundtrack
C. Minnie Mouse as co-star
D. The longer format.
97. The first image of Mickey Mouse is unchanged except that
A. He was dressed in shorts with two buttons
B. He had big ears
C. He wore yellow shoes
D. He was using white gloves
98. The word “pervasive” in line 17 could best be replaced by
A. well loved B. widespread C. often copied D. expensive to buy
99. The word “those” in line 12 refers to
A. cartoons B. forms C. gloves D. changes
100. The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses
A. the history of cartoons
B. other images in popular culture
C. Walt Disney’s childhood
D. the voives of cartoon characters
