Lady Liberty
New York City is undoubtedly one of the most famous cities in the world. There are several
landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Broadway, and Times Square which have come to
symbolize the Big Apple. Although these landmarks are all impressive, nothing captures the true spirit of
the city like a gigantic, greenish sculpture that stands proudly in New York Harbour: the famed Statue of
Liberty.

GCSE PREPARATIONS – A GUIDE FOR SUCCESS!
The Statue of Liberty was created as a special gift to the US by French sculptor Frédéric
Auguste Bartholdi. It was designed to represent the friendship between the French and American
people, two close allies that fought against the British during the American Revolutionary War.
Initially, Bartholdi anticipated that he would be able to finish the statue by 1876. The project was
conceived as a joint venture. The French would fund and create the statue and send it to the US, while
Americans would provide a location and build a pedestal to display it on. The initial completion date
would eventually be delayed, however, due to financial issues with both nations. Bartholdi had some
technical issues to deal with as well. He had never designed an enormous copper structure of this size
and he required some expert assistance. Therefore, Bartholdi recruited Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, the
designer of the Eiffel Tower to help him. After nine years of hard work, the 151 -foot, 22-ton statue
was eventually completed and presented to the American Ambassador in France. It then had to be
taken apart and separated into crates before being delivered to the US. It took another two years
before Americans were able to raise enough public funds to build the pedestal that she would stand
on. But the task was finally completed and the Statue of Liberty was assembled and dedicated on
October 28, 1886.
Over the years, the symbolism of the Statue of Liberty continued to grow more and more
important until it became a key symbol of the entire nation. During the late 19 th and early 20lh century,
it was the first landmark that waves of immigrants saw as they sailed into Ellis Island. The sight of this
symbol of freedom gave them hope and inspiration that their life would be better in their new
country. Even today, people from all around the world see it as a powerful symbol of the American
democracy.
Question 33. The Statue of Liberty represents the ________ between the French and the Americans.
A. distance B. disagreements C. language D. intimacy
Question 34. What could replace the word “initial” in paragraph 2?
A. last B. first C. difficult D. wild

Question 36. What was the problem that delayed the opening of the Statue of Liberty?
A. A war broke out between the French and the Americans.
B. The British offered to help build the statue.
C. France and the US didn’t have enough money.

B. What tourists will see when they go to visit the Statue of Liberty

The Advancing Development of Artificial Limbs
It wasn’t very long ago that losing a limb automatically meant a drastic drop in the quality of a
person’s life. Thanks to the wonders of modem science, people now are recovering from all sorts of
horrendous injuries that let them disabled. The reason they are able to do so is remarkable advances
made in the field of artificial limbs.
Doctors have been creating prosthetic limbs for their patients dating back to ancient Greece.
For most of history, however, these replacements were mainly for cosmetic purposes. Pirates, knights,
foot soldiers that lost their limbs in battle would get them, so they wouldn’t lose face when returning
to society. It wasn’t until the mid-19,h century that doctors were able to perform surgeries to reliably
attach limbs to people’s bodies and amputate limbs without causing serious infection.
Modern artificial limbs represent a tremendous leap forward in terms of form and function. Today’s
limbs are far more durable and can withstand a lot more wear and tear. An amazing example of how
far artificial limbs have progressed is the Flex-Foot Cheetah. Made from carbon fiber, it is able to store
energy as the person moves, which enables the wearer to run and jump. The technology is so good
that approximately 90 percent of all Special Olympic amputees use them in competition.
Meanwhile, the Bebionic3 has emerged as the most advanced prosthetic arm available. It has
been nicknamed “The Terminator” because it is similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mechanical limbs
in the famous blockbuster film. The Bebionic3 can perform a multitude of tasks including writing,

GCSE PREPARATIONS – A GUIDE FOR SUCCESS!
tying a shoelace, lifting heavy objects, and even pouring a beer. Wearers simply push a button on the
base of the arm and the Bebionic3 will work its magic.
In September 2013, scientists took another giant leap forward when they successfully fitted a
patient with an artificial leg that can be controlled by thought. Two of the patient’s nerves were
attached to his hamstring muscle. These nerves then interact with sensors inside the artificial leg.
Sensors will then transmit these messages to a computer which will follow through on his
instructions. Therefore, if the patient wants to stretch out his leg, the computer will understand this
command and send a message to the limb and instruct it to do so. If artificial limb technology keeps
advancing like this, losing a limb may not be such a big deal.
Question 38. What would happen when someone in the past needed to get an artificial limb?
A. They usually die very quickly.
B. They would need to get the limb replaced within months.
C. Their new limb would function better than the old one.
D. Their life wouldn’t be as good as before.
Question 39. What was the main reason that soldiers received artificial limbs?
A. So they can continue to fool the enemy. B. So other people wouldn’t think less of them.
C. To allow them to fight better than ever. D. To make them more likely to follow orders.
Question 40. Why did artificial limbs progress in the mid-19th century?
A. Doctors became better with surgery.
B. Artificial limbs were made from stronger materials.
C. Governments passed laws that made artificial limbs legal.
D. Patients are more likely to get artificial limbs.
Question 41. Which of the following best matches the meaning of the word “multitude” in paragraph 4?
A. courage B. limit C. variety D. single
Question 42. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The cutting edge of advancement. B. An artificial limb to stop working.
C. A new technology that failed. D. A limb that will probably never work better.
Question 43. All of the following about modem artificial limbs are true EXCEPT that
A. they last for a longer period of time. B. they can supply energy by themselves.

B. Artificial limbs were attached to patients a long time ago.
C. The Flex-Foot Cheetah can help ordinary athletes break records.
D. The Bebionic3 was used in the film “The Terminator” to make special effects.

Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview
before reading. Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which
often needs jumping forward or backward to process information). They also relate important
points to one another. Also, they activate and use their prior knowledge. When they realize that

GCSE PREPARATIONS – A GUIDE FOR SUCCESS!
their understanding is not good, they do not wait to change strategies. Last, they can monitor
understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study
skills. They tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to
monitor their studying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their
understanding of content; they may not be aware of the purpose of studying; and they show little
evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up” strategies to fix understanding problems. Students
who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that they must extent effort
beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it. Children with learning
disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be
disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well.
They often have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments, following directions, and
completing work on time. Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible
yet purposeful manner, low-achieving students use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot
explain why good study strategies are important for learning; and they tend to use the same, often
ineffective study approach for all learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.

PANDEMIC DISEASES
Diseases are a natural part of life on earth. If there were no diseases, the population would
grow too quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources, so in a way, diseases are
natural ways of keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large
numbers of people. For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over
25 million people in only six months. Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics.
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to
fight. In 1918, a new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus,
and so it spread very quickly and killed large numbers of people. While there have been many
different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have a new thing in common. First, all
pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily.
Second, while they may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A
good example of this would be the Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious
disease. In addition, it is deadly. About 70 -80% of all people who get the Marburg virus died from
the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die
within three days of getting the disease. This means that the virus does not have enough time to
spread a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a
week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread.

While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less

head especially children. It is very normal to see an old woman walking up to a young boy and
(34)________ his hair tenderly while saying what a handsome young man he is.
In Thailand, touching a person’s head is strictly taboo because that is the (35)________ part of
the body, and it is where the (36)________ is thought to reside in a person. Although very close family
members might touch a child on the head, even this is considered rude after a child grows up.

Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that
you want to be friends with them or that you don’t trust them. But perhaps this kind of intuition
isn’t as hard to explain as it may seem. For instance, people give out their body language signals
all the time. The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood. If you hold
your arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that you
are being defensive. Holding your head to one side shows interest in the other, while an easy,
open posture indicates that you are self- confident. All this affects the way you feel about
someone.
Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone. This may be because of
something as simple as the fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you
well or badly. Your feelings about a stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings
to mind a place where you were happy as a child. Since even a single word can bring back a
memory such as that, you may never realize it is happening.
Question 38. What does the word “open” in the passage most closely mean?
A. unlimited B. enlarged C. relaxed D. not shut
Question 39. What influences your impression of a person you meet in the first time?
A. familiarity B. intuition C. feeling D. knowledge
Question 40. What one feels about a stranger may be influenced by something that_________.
A. revives one’s past memories B. points to one’s childhood
C. strengthen one’s past behaviors D. reminds one of one’s past treatment
Question 41. What does the second paragraph discuss?
A. Meaning of signals one implies toward a stranger
B. Factors that cause people to act differently
C. How people usually behave to a stranger
D. Factors that may influence one’s feeling about a stranger
Question 42. Intuition described in the passage can be explained by means of_________.
A. signals B. languages C. behaviors D. styles

Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things,
the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are
rare. And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent
intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives
without a single drop. Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not a limited life but only those

forms unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moist skinned, water-loving animals can
exist there. Few large animals are found. The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the
coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and
leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with
reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having adapted to their austere
environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the world. The secret of their
adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology.
None could survive, like mad dogs and Englishmen, if they went out in the midday sun,
many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool,
humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-
baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60
degrees.
Question 43. The title for this passage could be_________.
A. “Desert Plants” B. “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment”

A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which
provides information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known
surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during presiden-
tial campaigns knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United
States.
North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on local
television news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily
an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who
appear at a certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class
shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the new people select. Second, television
interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they
frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera. A survey must be based on a precise,
representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population.
Question 33. According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over questionnaires is
that live interviews__________.
A. costless B. can produce more information

In today's competitive world, what responsible parent would not want to give their
children the best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as
young as ten months old, to become familiar with computers. They seem to think that if their
children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future.
No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent. The
truth may even be the opposite. Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to
computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development.
Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects. Ten-
month-old babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their
mouths than they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons. A four-year-old child can improve
hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon
than by moving a cursor around a computer screen. So, as educational psychologists suggest,
instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to
devote resources to music and art programs.
It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers
from an early age. Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse". Now is the time when they
should be out there learning to ride a bike. There will be time later on for them to start banging
away at keyboards.
Question 30. What would be an appropriate title for this passage?
A. Never too early to start B. Let kids be kids
C. Computers in schools D. More computers mean brighter future
Question 31. Children who spend a lot of time on their computers__________.
A. do not necessarily make more progress than those who don't.
B. tend to like music and art more than those who don't.
C. will suffer from brain damage.
D. tend to have more accidents than those who don't.
Question 32. The pronoun “they” in paragraph 2 refers to_________.
A. heads B. babies C. objects D. mouths
Question 33. What is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It is better for children to take computer lessons than art lessons.
B. Parents should not put off buying a computer for their children.
C. Computers seriously harm children's eyesight.
D. There is no evidence that children who use computers are cleverer than those who do
not.
Question 34. The word "ludicrous" paragraph 3 mostly means__________.
A. ridiculous B. humorous C. ironic D. sensible
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 35 to 42.
Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more
real than speech. A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing
secondary to language. Human beings have been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving
evidence) for at least 5000 years; but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since
there have been human beings.
When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although
imperfectly. Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we
all learn to talk well before we learn to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped
physically or mentally will learn to talk. A normal human being cannot be prevented from doing
so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write. In the past many intelligent and
useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages
with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those
skills do so only imperfectly.
To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter. One
advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records
that any civilization must have. Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized

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 30 to 34.
The first birds appeared during late Jurassic times. These birds are known from four very
good skeletons, two incomplete skeletons, and an isolated feather, all from the Solnhofen limestone
of Bavaria, Germany. This fine-grained rock, which is extensively quarried for lithographic stone,
was evidently deposited in a shallow coral lagoon of a tropical sea, and flying vertebrates
occasionally fell into the water and were buried by the fine limy mud, to be preserved with
remarkable detail. In this way, the late Jurassic bird skeletons, which have been named
Archaeopteryx, were fossilized. And not only were the bones preserved in these skeletons, but so
also were imprints of the feathers. If the indications of feathers had not been preserved in
association with Archaeopteryx, it is likely that these fossils would have been classified among the
dinosaurs, for they show numerous theropod characteristics. Archaeopteryx were animals about
the size of a crow, with an archeosaurian type of skull, a long neck, a compact body balanced on a
pair of strong hind limbs, and a long tail. The forelimbs were enlarged and obviously functioned as
wings.
Modem birds, who are the descendants of these early birds, are highly organized animals,
with a constant body temperature and a very high rate of metabolism. In addition, they are
remarkable for having evolved extraordinarily complex behavior patterns such as those of nesting

and song, and the habit among many species of making long migrations from one continent to
another and back each year.
Most birds also have very strong legs, which allows them to run or walk on the ground as
well as to fly in the air. Indeed, some of the water birds, such as ducks and geese, have the
distinction of being able to move around proficiently in the water, on land, and in the air, a range
in natural locomotor ability that has never been attained by any other vertebrate.
Question 30. According to the author, all of the following evidence relating to the first birds was
found EXCEPT_________.
A. nesting materials B. four skeletons in good condition
C. two fragmented skeletons D. a single feather
Question 31. It can be inferred from the passage that the Archaeopteryx were classified as birds

evolved by birds EXCEPT__________.
A. migrating B. nesting C. singing D. running

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 35 to 42.
In the North American colonies, red ware, a simple pottery fired at low temperatures, and
stone ware, a strong, impervious grey pottery fired at high temperatures, were produced from two
different native clays. These kinds of pottery were produced to supplement imported European
pottery. When the American Revolution (1775-1783) interrupted the flow of the superior European
ware, there was incentive for American potters to replace the imports with comparable domestic
goods. Stoneware, which had been simple utilitarian kitchenware, grew increasingly ornate
throughout the nineteenth century, and in addition to the earlier scratched and drawn designs,
three-dimensional molded relief decoration became popular. Representational motifs largely
replaced the earlier abstract decorations. Birds and flowers were particularly evident, but other
subjects - lions, flags, and clipper ships - are found. Some figurines, mainly of dogs and lions, were
made in this medium. Sometimes a name, usually that of the potter, was die-stamped onto a piece.
As more and more large kilns were built to create the high-fired stoneware, experiments
revealed that the same clay used to produce low-fired red ware could produce a stronger, paler
pottery if fired at a hotter temperature. The result was yellow ware, used largely for serviceable
items; but a further development was Rockingham ware - one of the most important American
ceramics of the nineteenth century. (The name of the ware was probably derived from its
resemblance to English brown-glazed earthenware made in South Yorkshire.) It was created by
adding a brown glaze to the fired clay, usually giving the finished product a mottled appearance.
Various methods of spattering or sponging the glaze onto the ware account for the extremely
wide variations in color and add to the interest of collecting Rockingham. An advanced form of
Rockingham was flint enamel, created by dusting metallic powders onto the Rockingham glaze to
produce brilliant varicolored streaks.
Articles for nearly every household activity and ornament could be bought in Rockingham
ware: dishes and bowls, of course; also bedpans, foot warmers, cuspidors, lamp bases, doorknobs,
molds, picture frames, even curtain tiebacks. All these items are highly collectible today and are
eagerly sought. A few Rockingham specialties command particular affection among collectors and
correspondingly high prices.
Question 35. The word “ornate” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to___________.
A. elaborate B. puzzling C. durable D. common

A. was decorated with simple, abstract designs B. used three-dimensional decorations

Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes
sensitive to a substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat,
and egg, for example, rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can
cause persons sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed
by coming into contact with the substance. After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a
few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it’s
hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show up so many different ways. Your
symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint pains
mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies are to
milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies
will not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around
seven months. Breast milk also tends to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods
containing tyramine, phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods
which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken
livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!).
Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins,
particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food
additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets.
Question 30. The topic of this passage is___________.
A. reactions to foods B. food and nutrition C. infants and allergies D. a good diet
Question 31. According to the passage, the difficulty in diagnosing allergies to foods is due
to___________.
A. the vast number of different foods we eat

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 35 to 42.
We are descendants of the ice age. Periods of glaciation have spanned the whole of human
existence for the past 2 million years. The rapid melting of the continental glaciers at the end of
the last ice age spurred one of the most dramatic climate changes in the history of the planet.
During this interglacial time, people were caught up in a cataclysm of human accomplishment,
including the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. Over the past few thousand
years, the Earth’s climate has been extraordinarily beneficial, and humans have prospered
exceedingly well under a benign atmosphere.
Ice ages have dramatically affected life on Earth almost from the very beginning. It is even
possible that life itself significantly changed the climate. All living organisms pull carbon dioxide
out of the atmosphere and eventually store it in sedimentary rocks within the Earth’s crust. If too
much carbon dioxide is lost, too much heat escapes out into the atmosphere. This can cause the
Earth to cool enough for glacial ice to spread across the land.
In general the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been
equalized by the input of carbon dioxide from such events as volcanic eruptions. Man, however, is
upsetting the equation by burning fossil fuels and destroying tropical rain forests, both of which
release stored carbon dioxide. This energizes the greenhouse effect and causes the Earth to warm.
If the warming is significant enough, the polar ice caps eventually melt.
The polar ice caps drive the atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems. Should the ice
caps melt, warm tropical waters could circle the globe and make this a very warm, inhospitable
planet.
Over the past century, the global sea level has apparently risen upwards of 6 inches, mainly
because of the melting of glacial ice. If present warming trends continue, the seas could rise as
much as 6 feet by the next century. This could flood coastal cities and fertile river deltas, where
half the human population lives. Delicate wetlands, where many marine species breed, also would
be reclaimed by the sea. In addition, more frequent and severe storms would batter coastal areas,
adding to the disaster of the higher seas.
The continued melting of the great ice sheets in polar regions could cause massive
amounts of ice to crash into the ocean. This would further raise the sea level and release more ice,
which could more than double the area of sea ice and increase correspondingly the amount of
sunlight reflected back into space. The cycle would then be complete as this could cause global
temperatures to drop enough to initiate another ice age.
Question 35. According to the passage, carbon dioxide is stored in each of the following
EXCEPT__________.
A. polar ice caps B. sedimentary rocks C. rain forests D. fossil fuel
Question 36. Which of the following does the author NOT mention as a consequence of a large rise
in global sea level?
A. the destruction of wetlands B. the flooding of cities
C. a more diverse marine population D. severe storms

Question 37. According to the passage, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and the
Earth’s climate?
A. Carbon dioxide, which is trapped in glacial ice, is released when warm temperatures
cause the ice melt.
B. The greenhouse effect, which leads to the warming of the climate, is result of too much
carbon stored in the Earth’s crust.
C. Rain causes carbon dioxide to be washed out of the atmosphere and into the ocean.
D. An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in the warming of the climate.

Today, I’d like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up of the earth. First, we’ll
touch on the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that
the ozone layer is the protective shield around the earth. It is important to all life, because it filters
out harmful ultraviolet light from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly made by the
action of the sun in the upper atmosphere. It is also regularly destroyed by natural chemical
processes.
The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists suspect
that certain chemicals, such as fluoro-carbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone
layer. And how do we use fluoro-carbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling
systems. The chemical pollution from these fluoro-carbons can account for some of the ozone
losses that have been reported. There are, however, new studies linking the sun itself to the
depletion of the ozone layer. We’ll go into that new study more next time.
Question 36. Who is the most likely speaker?
A. A doctor B. A professor C. A mechanic D. A chemist
Question 37. What does the word "filters out" in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. stops B. separates C. prevents D. keeps
Question 38. What is the ozone layer made of?
A. Ultraviolet light B. Fluorocarbons C. Shields D. Oxygen
Question 39. The speaker’s main topic is_________.
A. ultraviolet light B. air-conditioning systems

C. the use of spray cans D. fluoro-carbons and the ozone layer

correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
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
organise 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.
Question 36. What does this passage mainly discuss?

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.
Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers
classes in the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter,
spring, and summer quarters. The academic year, September to June, is divided into three
quarters of eleven weeks each beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter,
June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of vary length.
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side,
students who wish to complete their 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 other quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the
resources are used effectively to serve the greatest number of students. But there are several
disadvantages as well. Many faculty complain that eleven-week term is simply not enough for
them to cover the material required by most college coursed. 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 options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree
programs for those students who wish to graduate early.
Question 43. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Semester System B. The Academic Year
C. Universities in the United States D. The Quarter System
Question 44. How many terms are there in a quarter system?
A. Three regular terms and one summer term B. One regular term and four summer terms
C. Two regular terms and two summer terms D. Four regular terms and one summer term
Question 45. When is the academic year?
A. September to August B. September to June C. June to August D. August to June
Question 46. The word “customary” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by________.
A. agreeable B. Limited C. traditional D. length
Question 47. When may students begin studying in a school that uses a quarter system?
A. Summer semester only B. at the beginning of the academic year
C. at the beginning of any quarter D. September
Question 48. The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to________.
A. material B. courses C. faculty D. weeks
Question 49. Which of the following characteristics does NOT apply to trimesters?
A. They provide more options for admission B. They allow students to graduate early
C. They last eleven weeks D. They are long enough to cover the course material
Question 50. Where would this passage most probably be found?

C. In a general guide to colleges and universities in the United States
D. In a college catalog for a university in the United States

Albert Einstein was the first to suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper
published in 1917. However, for many years, physicists thought that atoms and molecules always
were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always
would be much weaker. It was not until after the Second World War that physicists began trying
to make stimulated emission dominate. They sought ways by which one atom or molecule could
stimulate many other to emit light, amplifying it to much higher powers.
Question 06. The word 'intervention' in line 3 could be replaced by_________.
A. influence B. source C. need D. device
Question 07. According to the passage, Albert Einstein_________.
A. was the first person to mention the existence of stimulated emission.
B. was the first person to use laser. C. was the first person to publish a paper in 1917.
D. was the first person to suggest the word laser.
Question 08. Although Einstein suggested stimulated emission in 1917_________.
A. it wasn’t made dominant until after World War II.
B. physicists didn’t think it would be much weaker.
C. physicists thought it was unlikely to emit light.
D. many physicists believed him.
Question 09. Which of the following statements best describes a laser?
A. A device for stimulating atoms and molecules to emit light
B. An atom in a high-energy state C. A technique for destroying atoms or molecules
D. An instrument for measuring light waves
Question 10. The word 'it' in line 4 refers to_________.

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink
this water first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar
to body temperature; neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out
your kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work
better. After drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food.
Water also helps us go to the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don’t drink all
of that water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it.
It’s better to drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better
to drink between meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our
stomachs. This can interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light
yellow, you are probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to
drink more water. A little more water each day could make you much healthier.
(Adapted from Reading Challenge 1 by Casey Malarcher and Andrea Janzen)
Question 11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The importance of water B. The advice of the doctors
C. How to drink water correctly? D. The best amount of water to drink
Question 12. According to the passage, water is good for the following organs of the body,

Question 14. The word “eliminate” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to__________.
A. preserve B. remove C. absorb D. process
Question 15. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The first thing you should do every morning is to drink water.
B. You shouldn’t drink too much water at the same time.
C. Drinking water while having meals may interfere with normal digestion.
D. You need to drink more water if your urine is light yellow.

Lady Liberty
New York City is undoubtedly one of the most famous cities in the world. There are several
landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Broadway, and Times Square which have come to
symbolize the Big Apple. Although these landmarks are all impressive, nothing captures the true spirit of
the city like a gigantic, greenish sculpture that stands proudly in New York Harbour: the famed Statue of
Liberty.
The Statue of Liberty was created as a special gift to the US by French sculptor Frédéric
Auguste Bartholdi. It was designed to represent the friendship between the French and American
people, two close allies that fought against the British during the American Revolutionary War.
Initially, Bartholdi anticipated that he would be able to finish the statue by 1876. The project was
conceived as a joint venture. The French would fund and create the statue and send it to the US, while
Americans would provide a location and build a pedestal to display it on. The initial completion date
would eventually be delayed, however, due to financial issues with both nations. Bartholdi had some
technical issues to deal with as well. He had never designed an enormous copper structure of this size
and he required some expert assistance. Therefore, Bartholdi recruited Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, the
designer of the Eiffel Tower to help him. After nine years of hard work, the 151 -foot, 22-ton statue
was eventually completed and presented to the American Ambassador in France. It then had to be
taken apart and separated into crates before being delivered to the US. It took another two years
before Americans were able to raise enough public funds to build the pedestal that she would stand
on. But the task was finally completed and the Statue of Liberty was assembled and dedicated on
October 28, 1886.
Over the years, the symbolism of the Statue of Liberty continued to grow more and more
important until it became a key symbol of the entire nation. During the late 19 th and early 20lh century,
it was the first landmark that waves of immigrants saw as they sailed into Ellis Island. The sight of this
symbol of freedom gave them hope and inspiration that their life would be better in their new
country. Even today, people from all around the world see it as a powerful symbol of the American
democracy.
Question 16. The Statue of Liberty represents the ________ between the French and the Americans.
A. distance B. disagreements C. language D. intimacy
Question 17. What could replace the word “initial” in paragraph 2?
A. last B. first C. difficult D. wild
Question 18. The word “she” in paragraph 2 refers to________.
A. France B. the United States C. the woman D. the Statue of Liberty
Question 19. What was the problem that delayed the opening of the Statue of Liberty?
A. A war broke out between the French and the Americans.
B. The British offered to help build the statue.
C. France and the US didn’t have enough money.
D. The ambassador of the United States was visiting France.
Question 20. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. What the Statue of Liberty means to different people
B. What tourists will see when they go to visit the Statue of Liberty
C. The future plans for the Statue of Liberty
D. Why the Statue of Liberty was brought to the US

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.
In the world today, particular in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the 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 throw-away
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 stores. The manufacturers of the
drinks collect 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 throw-
away bottles.
The third step 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.
Question 43. Which area is considered one of the most industrialized?
A. South America B. Middle East C. Europe D. Asia
Question 44. What does the word “sensitive” means ?
A. cautious B. logical C. responding D. friendly
Question 45. It is a waste when customers buy low-quality products because______.
A. they have to be repaired many times. B. they will soon throw them away
C. customers always change their idea D. they are very cheap.
Question 46. What is the topic of the passage?
A. How to live sensitively to the environment. B. How to reduce garbage disposal.
C. What is involved in the recycling movement. D. What people understand the term “recycle”
Question 47. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT______.
A. buy high-quality products B. buy simply-wrapped things
C. reuse cups D. buy more hamburgers
Question 48. What best describe the process of reuse?
A. The bottles are filled again after being returned, collected and washed.
B. The bottles are collected, washed, returned and filled again.
C. The bottles are washed, returned filled again and collected.
D. The bottles are collected, returned, filled again and washed.
Question 49. The word “practice” is closest in meaning to______.
A. training B. exercise C. deed D. belief
Question 50. Garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because______.
A. people are ordered to return bottles B. returned bottles are few
C. each returned bottle is paid D. few bottles are made of glass or plastic
