Q7. The following text is for questions number 7 and 8.
New York is the capital city of the world and it certainly creates a beautiful site surrounding. But in
the central of this exciting, noisy, polluted city there is a place to find peace and quiet. A short walk from
busy Fifth Avenue in Manhattan you’ll find Central Park. Central Park is the green heart of New York City
and over 25 million people come here each year to escape the city. People run, swim, climb or simply sit and
read a book in the huge park’s different place And it’s not just for people. Lots of rare birds have made their
home in the park and there are legends of big cats hiding in the dark trees.
Although it looks completely natural, the park is man-made, created over 150 years ago. Frederick
Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux designed the park at a time when the city was a very crowded, dirty and
unhealthy place to live. They wanted to make a place where rich and poor people could find fresh air in the
dirty city. As a friend of mine always tells me, “Life in New York would be impossible without Central

Q16. The following text is for questions number 16 to 17.

I, Milton Friedman was born on July 31, 1921, in Brooklyn, N.Y., the fourth and last child and first
son of Sarah Ethel (Landau) and Jeno Saul Friedman. My parents were born in Carpatho-Ruthenia of the
Soviet Union. They emigrated to the U.S. in their teens, meeting in New York. When I was a year old, my
parents moved to Rahway, N.J., a small town about 20 miles from New York City.
I was awarded a competitive scholarship to Rutgers University. I graduated from Rutgers in 1932. I
financed the rest of my college expenses by the usual mixture of waiting at tables, clerking in a retail store,
occasional entrepreneurial ventures, and summer earnings. Shortly, however, I became interested in
economics.
In economics, I had the good fortune to be exposed to two remarkable men: Arthur F. Burns and
Homer Jones. Arthur Burns shaped my understanding of economic research, introduced me to the highest
scientific standards, and became a guiding influence on my subsequent career. Homer Jones introduced me
to rigorous economic theory, made economics exciting and relevant, and encouraged me to go on to graduate
work. On his recommendation, the Chicago Economics Department offered me a tuition scholarship. As it
happened, I was also offered a scholarship by Brown University in Applied Mathematics, but, by that time, I
had definitely transferred my primary allegiance to economics. In 1976 I won the Nobel Memorial Prize in
Economics for my achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and for
his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy. In 1977, at age 65,1 retired from the University
of Chicago after teaching there for 30 years.

What is the communicative purpose of the text?

AA. to persuade the readers about Milton Friedman


BB. to relate Milton Friedman’s experience
CC. to retell Milton Friedman’s life
DD. to amuse the readers about Milton Friedman’s experience
EE. to give information about Milton Friedman

Q23. The following text is for questions number 23 to 26

A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes great
suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people are homeless and
need medical care.

Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the surrounding
land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief can cause a
flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and can absorb the
water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where
the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.

In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring
destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to
surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring
swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.

When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were invented,
people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from the fire
to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village, only
a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and neighborhoods
before being controlled.

Q30. Read the dialogue carefully

Edward : How did you enjoy your trip to Ireland last week?
Retha : Oh, I liked it very much.
Edward : …………………………the food there?
Retha : Well, I think it’s very different from the food here. The food was quite nice, but I didn’t
like the fresh vegetables.
Edward : I’m not very fond of fresh vegetables either, but I feel I’d rather eat vegetable soup than the
fresh one. What about the weather in Ireland?
Retha : Well, it was fairly good though we had a lot of snowfall.
Edward : Oh, what a pity! Did you get any unforgettable experience?
Retha : Yes, I did. I was trapped in my room when the others went out
Edward : Didn’t you share a room with your sister?
Retha : No, I didn’t. Everybody got a room in the villa.
Edward : How could you be trapped?
Retha : I overslept, so they thought I went out before them.
