Read the passage below and choose the best answer from the four options marked

Considering their wedding cost over £20,000 and took a year and a half to organise,
you would be surprised to hear that Richard and Victoria Hammond now intend to forget
it.
"It was a terrific day at one of the country's most deluxe resort. Everyone was so
happy," says Victoria, "but we have so much we want to do together now." Her husband
agrees: "Both our minds are now fixed firmly on the future. Our marriage is so much
more important than the wedding."
"At the moment, we are still living with Richard's parents," explains Victoria, "so our
first wish is to find our own place, maybe in the suburb, but it should have all modern
facilities." Richard adds that they plan to have two or three children. "We both have many
siblings and they encourage us to add to the extended Hammond family."
The young couple has just returned from a two-week honeymoon in an authentic
Scottish castle. Both are big travel lovers and Richard hopes they will go travelling as
much as possible together "I'd love to be her company to every corner of the world!"

wildlife. That means she might have to fulfill this ambition alone.

Taking piano lessons and solving math puzzles on a computer significantly improve

2. Read the passage below and choose the best answer from the four options marked
A, B, C or D.
There is always conflict between people because we have different needs and
wants. For example, you may want to see an action movie but your significant other wants
to see a comedy or you may prefer eating at a Mexican restaurant while your spouse wants
Chinese. However, you have known each other well for years and will work it out.
In the workplace, there is always conflict as well but it's usually more difficult to
resolve than with personal relationships. There are differences between workers, between
workers and supervisors, between departments, between companies, between companies
and their customers, between companies and their governing bodies and on it goes. These
relationships are usually not as deep or trusting as personal ones making resolving disputes
more difficult and challenging.
Interestingly, most workplace conflict is totally unnecessary because they are usually
the result of simple misunderstandings, miscommunications or small differences that could
be easily resolved if the parties truly knew each other's motivations. Unfortunately, at work
there is rarely the opportunity to develop deep personal relationships and when you add the
complexity of cross-cultural differences and the gulf can seem insurmountable. Culture
brings unique perspectives on deadlines, conflict resolution, speaking one's mind, working
as a team and much more.
However, with a little training and education people will recognize that they have a
lot more in common than they have differences. When cross-cultural conflict is resolved and
employees with diverse backgrounds and skills start to work together, the potential and
promise of diversity in the workplace can be fully realized.
1. It is stated in paragraph 1 that people come into conflict with each other because of their
difference in ____.
A. favorite movies B. favorite foods
C. needs and wants D. insights and ideas

In Southeast Asian, many forests have been cut down to produce timber and to clear
land for farms and industries. The destruction of forests has reduced the living space of
wildlife. Much of Asian’s wildlife is also threatened by over-hunting. Many people kill
animals for food or hunt them to sell to zoo, medical research, and pet trader. Because of
habitat destruction and over-hunting, many large Asian animals, including elephants,
rhinoceroses, and tigers, have become endangered.
In China, people have cut down most of the forests for wood, which has caused
serious soil erosion. The soil is deposited in rivers and streams, which lowers the quality of
the water. The Huang He, or Yellow River, is so named because the light-coloured soil
gives the water a yellowish colour. The soil has also raised the riverbed. As a result, the
Huang He often floods, causing great property damage and loss of life along its banks.

II. READING CCOMPREHENSION
1. Read the following passage and choose the best answers for the following
questions.
Francisco Peaks in Arizona, plant life changes radically. Starting among the
cacti of the Sonoran Desert, one climbs into a pine forest at 7,000 feet and a treeless
alpine tundra at the summit. It may seem that plants at a given altitude are associated
in what can be called “communities” – groupings of interacting species. The idea is
that over time, plants that require particular climate and soil conditions come to live
in the same places, and hence are frequently to be found together. Scientists who
study the history of plant life are known as paleobotanists, or paleobots for short.
They build up a picture of how groups of plants have responded to climate changes

Page 32
and how ecosystems develop. But are these associations, which are real in the
present, permanent?
A great natural experiment took place on this planet between 25,000 and 10,000
years ago, when small changes in the earth’s orbit and axis of rotation caused great
sheets of ice to spread from the poles. These glaciers covered much of North America
and Europe to depths of up to two miles, and then, as the climate warmed, they
retreated. During this retreat, they left behind newly uncovered land for living things
to colonize, and as those living things moved in they laid down a record we can read
now. As the ice retreated and plants started to grow near a lake, they would release
pollen. Some would fall into the lake, sink to the bottom, and be incorporated into the
sediment. By drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to read the record of
successive plant life around the lake.

1. The word “radically” in line 2 is closest in meaning to

A. variably B. demonstrably C. quickly D. dramatically
2. The author mentions “cacti” in line 3 and a “treeless alpine tundra” in line 4 to
illustrate
A. changes in climate B. the effects of the ice age
C. communities of plants D. plant migration
3. The word “which” in line 10 refers to
A. the responses of plants to climate changes B. the current theories of
ecosystems
C. the developments of ecosystems D. plant life changes
4. The word “axis” in line 12 is closest in meaning to
A. center B. method C. change D. slowdown
5. The passage states that by drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to find
successive fossils of:
A. sediment B. ice C. plant life D. pollen
1. D 2. C 3. A 4. A 5. D
