life's too short to worry about things like that.
When we graduated three yea�s ago, we went out separate ways and since

job as a production assistant for art exhibitions. Mike thinks I'm crazy because
money is very important to him now, but he doesn't have time to spend with his

VIII. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.
It is thought that the large-scale celebration of birthdays in Europe began
with the cult of Mithras, which originated in Persia but was spread by soldiers
throughout the ·,Roman Empire. Before this, such celebrations were not
·common; and, hence, practices from other contexts such as the Saturnalia were
adapted for birthdays. Because many Roman soldiers took to Mithraism, it had
a wide distribution and influence throughout the empire until it was supplanted
- by Christianity. The Jewish perspective on birthday celebrations is disputed_ by
various rabbis.
Birthday celebrations were rare during the Middle Ages but saw a
resurgence with the advent of the Reformation. During this period, they were
seen as a good· way to transfer customs from the saint's days to other dates not
linked to the newly repudiated veneration of saints.

Some. adults loathe celebrating it as it reminds them that they are getting
progressively older. And in some activities that are not year-round, birthday
23

acknowledgements may be discouraged because of some birthdays not falling

during the season.
In most English-speaking countries it is traditional' to sing the song Happy
Birthday to You to the honored person celebrating his birthday. The Happy
Birthday Song melody is thought to be the most frequently sung melody in the
world. Similar songs exist in other languages such as "Lang zal hijzij leven" in
butch, "Zurn Geburtstag Viel Gluck" in German, "Cumpleafios feliz" in Spanish�

VII. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.
Literacy means the ability to read and write. Being able to read and write is
an important skill in modern societies. Usually, people learn how to read and write
� at school. People who can read and write are called literate; those who cannot are
called illiterate.
According to the United Nations, illiteracy is not being able to write or read
a simple sentence in any language. The UN estimated, that in 1998, about 16% of
the world's population were illiterate.
Illiteracy is highest amongst the states of the Arab p�ninsula, and in Africa,
around the Sahara. In those countries about 30% of men, and 40-50% of women
are illiterate. One of the causes of illiteracy is that someone who can get by
without being able to read and write often does not have the incentive to learn to
read and write. Cultural factors, like mostly oral tradition, often also play a role. A
tribe that mostly herds livestock, for example, may have no need to read or write.
There are two different kinds of illiteracy:
• Primary illiteracy: People with primary illiteracy have never learned
how to read or write.
• Functional illiteracy: People who have learned some reading and
writing, but for various reasons, are unable to understand what they
read, or cannot write well enough to fill out a form.
1. Literate are those who ----
A. are able to read and write. B. are unable to read and write
C. can read but can't write D. can write but cannot read
40

2. By the UN definition, illiteracy is "cannot read or write ____ "

A. a simple word in any language
B. many sentences in English
C. some simple phrases in many languages
D. a simple sentence in any language
3. The word "oral" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_· ___
A. listening B. speaking C. reading D. writing
4. Which of the following countries has the highest illiteracy rate?
A. Vietnam B. Brazil C. Angola D. Norway
5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Normally, people learn to read and write at school.
B. In 1998, about 84% of the world population could read and write.
C. In general the number of female illiterate is bigger than that of male.
D. Primary illiteracy means people have learned to read and write but
can't understand what they are reading.
VIII. Fill in each numbered blank of the following passage with a suitable word.
In 1975, the United Nations organized the Decade for Women. In 1985, it
published a report on the conditions and rights (1) women throughout
the world. The report has some bad news. Although most countries have official
organizations to (2) women's lives, many of these organizations don't
do (3) . Fifty percent of the world's population are women, but in
nearly two-thirds of all working hours the work is (4) by women.
They do most of domestic work, for example, cooking and washing clothes.
Millions also work (5) the home. Women hold 35 percent of the
world's jobs. For this work, they (6) only 40 to 60 percent as much as
men, and of course they earn nothing for (7) domestic work.
Only 6 percent of places in government (8) held by women.
Sixty percent of the people who can't read and write are women. It is these
illiterate women (9) are the most frightened of trying to improve their
lives. Being illiterate doesn't (10) they are not intelligent. It does
mean it is difficult for them to change their lives.

VII� Read the passage below and choose one correct answ�r for each question.
The human population has grown dramatically this century. In 1900 there
were 1.6 billion people on earth. By 1950 this figure, had grown to 2.7 billion.
By the end of the 20th century, th� earth's population was about 6.6 billion:
For thousand of years, man lived· in a very primitive way. Before the
recent developments in agriculture, medicine and industry, life was difficult.
It was hard to make a living from the soil without modern farming methods,
and a few years of bad crops could mean famine and therefore de,ath -:- as it
still does today in some parts of the world. Illnesses as mild and as common
as influenza could kill a Stone-Age man weakened by hunger; appendicitis
was always fatal before the days of modern surgery. Even childbirth. was a
hazardous process. Under these conditions, the human race needed to
reproduce at a high rate just to keep in existence. But the size of the
population did not change very rapidly, for without modern medicine, many
babies and young children <lied. So for a long time, the populati,on grew very
slowly. And this is still the case today in some parts of the world where the
people live without the aids of modern technology.
58
It was only about two centuries ago - which is less than one-thousandth of
man's existence - that the population growth pattern changed. New discoveries
in medical science had a dramatic effect on the death-rate. Fewer children died in
infancy, and adults lived longer. Consequently, the population began to expand
rapidly. And in the 2D1h century, this acceleration of population growth has begun
to cause severe social economic problems in many developing countries.
I. The world population in 1950 was ____

A. 1.6 billion B. 1.9 billion C. 2.7 billion D. 6.6 billion
2. The word "primitive" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____
A. ancient B. modern C. negative D. 'difficult
3. Some years of bad crops could lead to ____
A. agriculture B. modern far�ing methods
C. famine D. illnesses
4. In the Stone Age, the population grew very slowly because ____
A. the human race needed to reprodu�e at a high rate
B. many children died in infancy
C. people lived without the aids of modern technology
D. both B and C
5. Which of the.following sentences is not TRUE?
A. People also suffer from famine in some parts of the world today.
B. Surgery is the best way to treat people who suffer from appendicitis.
C. People in primitive societies developed new method of farming.
D. People in the 20th century lived longer than before.
VIII. Fill in each numbered blank of the following passage with a suitable word.
Since man has discovered ways of treating illnesses and diseases, and has
thus reduced the death-rate, the only way to control populati.on (I) is
by lowering the birth-rate. In fact, as people in modern industrial societies
began to move in (2) to work in the towns and factories, they found
that a smaller family was easier to (3) . So in Western Europe after the
Industrial Revolution, the birth-rate did slow down as parents chose to have
(4) children. More importantly, modern birth· control measures have
made it possible (5) parents to decide how many children to have.
59

But reducing the birth-rate is not as easy as that. There (6)____ many
religious, social economic reasons (7) some parents do not want to
control the (8) of children they have. For example,- in some of the less
developed parts of the world, many children are needed· to help work the land,
or (9) wages that supplement the family income. To halt the population
growth in such areas, it will first be necessary to raise the (10) of
living, so that parents do not need a large family.

"Last year,when Eukhtuul was walking home from school,she was attacked
by boys with sticks and her eyes were badly damaged.Dr Duffey,an Orbis doctor,
said that without an operation she would never see again. I thought about all the
everyday things I do that she couldn't, things like reading schoolbooks, watching
television,seeing friends,and I realized how lucky I am."

Before the invention of the postage stamp, it was difficult to send a letter
to another country. The sender paid for the letter to travel in his or her own
country. lben the person in the other country paid for that part of the trip. If a
letter crossed several countries, the problem was worse.
Rowland Hill, a British teacher, had the idea of a postage stamp which
gum on the back. The British post office made the first stamps in 1840. They
were the Penny Black and the Two-pence Blue. A person bought a stamp and
put it on a letter, the post office delivered the letter. When people received
letters, they didn't have to pay anything. The letters were repaid.
Postage stamps became popular in Great Britain immediately. Other
countries started making their own postage stamps very quickly.
There were still problems with international mail. Some countries did not
want to accept letters with stamps from another country. Finally, in 1874 a
German organized the Universal Postal System. Each country in the UPS agreed
to accept letters with prepaid postage from the other members.
Today the offices of the UPS are in the Switzerland. Almost every country in the
� world is a member of this organization. It takes care of any international problems.

When man first learned how making a fire, he began to use fuel for the

eventually discovered that substances such as coal and oil will burn. Coal was
not used very wide as a source of energy until the nineteenth century. Wit,h the
coming of the industrial revolution, it was soon realized that production would
double if coal was using in�tead of wood. Nowadays, much of the huge
factories and electricity generating stations would be impossible to function if
there was no coal. In the last twenty or thirty years, however, the use of coal has
declined. As a result, there were changes in the coal industry. It is. believed that
� more people would use coal if oil and gas are not so readily available. There is
more than coal enough in the world for man's needs for the next two hundred
years if our use of coal will not increase. Unfortunately, however, about half of
the world's coal may never been· used. Mining much of it would be very
expensive even if it was possible fo use _new equipment.

IX. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.
Petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosine, home heating oil, residual
fuel oil, and lubricating oils, come from one source - crude oil found below the
earth's surface, as well as under large bodies of water, from a few hundred feet
below the surface to as deep as 25,000 feet into the earth's interior. Sometimes
crude oil is secured by drilling a hole through the earth, but more dry holes are
drilled than those producing oil. ·Pressure at the source or p:µmping forces crude
oil to the surface.
Crude· oil wells flow at varying rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per
hour. Petroleum products are always measured in 42-gallon barrels.
Petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance: thin, thick,
transparent or opaqu�, but regardless; their chemical composition is made up of
only two elemel}ts: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds' called
hydrocarbons. Other chemical elements found in union with hydrocarbons are
few and are classified as impurities. Trace elements are also found, but these
are of such minute quantities that they are disregarded. The combination of
carbon and hydrogen forms many thousands of compounds which are possible
because of the various positions and joining of these two atoms in the
hydrocarbon molecule.
The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating
and condensing the vapors. These products are the so-called light oils, such as
gasoline, kerosine, and distillate oil. The residue remaining after the light oils are
distilled is known as heavy or residual fuel oil and is used mostly for burning
under boilers. Additional complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical
structure of the hydrocarbons to produce other products, some of which are used
to upgrade and increase the octane rating of various types of gasoline.
1. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Crude oil is found .below land and water.
B. Crude oil is always found a few hundred feet below the surface.
C. Pumping and pressure force crude oil to the surface.
D. A variety of petroleum products is obtained from crude oil.
2. Many thousands of hydrocarbon compounds are possible because
A. the petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance
B. complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structure
C. the two atoms in the molecule assume many positions
D. the pressure needed to force it to the surface causes molecular transformation
98

3. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The various petroleum products are produced by filtration.
B. Heating and condensation produce the various products.
C. Chemical separation is used to produce the various products.
D. Mechanical · means such as the centrifuge are used to produce the
various products.
4. How is crude oil brought to the surface?
A. expansion of the hydrocarbons
B. pressure and pumping
C. vacuum created in the drilling pipe
D. expansion and contraction of the earth's surface
5. Which of the follo�ing is NOT listed as a light oil?.
A. distillate oil B. gasoline C. lubricatii:ig oil D. kerosine

VII. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
. The Asian Games, also called the Asiad, is a multi-sport event held every
four years among athletes from all over Asia. The games are regulated by the
Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) under the supervision of the International
Olympic Committee (IOC). Medals are awarded in each event, with gold for
first place, silver for second and bronze for third.
Competitors are entered by a· National Olympic Committee (NOC) to
represent their country of citizenship. National anthems and flags accompany
the medal ceremonies, and tables showing the number of medals won by each
country are widely used. In general only recognised nations are represented, but
a few non-sovereign countries are allowed to take part. The special case of
Taiwan was handled by having it compete as Chinese Taipei, due to the

VIII. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.
Collectibles have been a part of almost every culture since ancient times.
Whereas some objects have been collected for their usefulness, others have
been selected for their aesthetic beauty alone. In the United States, the kinds of
collectibles currently popular range from traditional objects such as stamps,
coins, rare books, and art to more recent items of interest like dolls, bottles,
baseball cards, and comic books.
Interest in collectibles has increased enormously during the past decade,
in part because some collectibles have demonstrated their value as investment.
Especially during cycles of high inflation, investors try to purchase tangibles
that will at least retain their current market values. In general, the most
traditional collectibles will be sought because they have preserved their value
over the years, there is an organized auction market for them, and they are most
easily sold in the event that cash is needed. Some examples of the most stable
collectibles are old masters, Chinese ceran;iics, stamps, coins, rare books,
antique jewelry, silver, porcelain, art by well-known artists, autographs, and
period furniture. Other items of more recent interest include old phonograph
records, old magazines, postcards, baseball cards, art glass, dolls, classic cars,
old bottles, and comic books. These relatively new kinds of collectibles may
actually appreciate faster as short-term investments, but may not hold their
value as long-term investments. Once a collectible has· had its initial play, it
appreciates at a fairly steady rate, supported by an increasing number of
enthusiastic collectors competing for the limited supply of collectibles that
come increasingly more difficult to locate.
1. What is the author's main point?

A. Collectibles provide interesting information about culture.
B. Collectibles are better than other types of investments.
C. New types of collectibles appreciate more rapidly.
D. A variety of collectibles have become popular investments in the
United States.
2. In comparing new collectibles with more traditional ones, the author
observes that ---
A. newer collectibles hold their value
B. more traditional collectibles appreciate faster
C. after a rapid increase in value, all collectibles have steady rates of
appreciation
D. newer collectibles make better short-term investments

On April 12th , 1981 the United States launched the first space shuttle,
Columbia. The morning of April 12 th was clear and sunny. Two astronauts, John
Young and Robert Crippen, sat at the controls. At 7 :00, they fired the engines.
The booster rockets and the space shuttle lifted off into the air. Two minutes
later, 28 miles up, the booster rockets and the space shuttle separated.
Parachutes took the rockets safely down into the Atlantic Ocean where ships
waited to pick them up. Columbia continued to climb to an orbit of 170 miles
above earth. The space shuttle circled the earth thirty-six times. During thiS
time, Young and Crippen tested the equipment on the shuttle. They also opened
and closed the large cargo doors. Two days later, on April 14th, Young fired the
shuttle's engines. This slowed down the spacecraft. Young, a top pilot, took the
controls of Columbia. He entered the earth's atmosphere and headed toward
California. At 1:21 p.m. Young made a perfect landing at Edwards Air Force Base.
Since this first launch, Columbia has traveled into space more than seven
times. The second shuttle, Challenger, is also operating.
And the United States is building two more space shuttles. It is planning
over sixty more shuttle flights. Some will launch satellites through the cargo
doors. Some will try to manufacture drugs and chemicals in space. It is possible

many interesting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a
type of time line of events - past, present, and future. Many of the events have
been interpreted and found to coincide, with known facts of the past. Others are

When I injured my back I had to take a break from my running career. I

I decided to start a running club for women in my area because I was
annoyed by the attitude of many race organizers.. They complain about the lack
of women in the sport but also use this as an excuse, for not providing separat�
changing facilities.
I put up posters and 40 women, young and old, fit and unfit, joined. All of
them were attracted by the idea of losing weight but I don't think they had
really thought about running before. When or if they did, they had a picture of
painful training. They didn't think of chatting and smiling while running in
beautiful places, like by a river..
At first they ran for only a minute - now they can run for thirty minutes.
They've also learned from other runners about diet and keeping fit in general.
I wanted to do something for women's running and I've had so much
pleasure watching their progress - almost as much as_they'vehad themselves.

IV. Read the passage below and choose on� correct answer for each question.
Traditionally in America, helping lhe poor was a matter for private
charities or local government. Arriving immigrants depended mainly on
predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life. In the late 191h
and early 201h centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare
programs. But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States
because the rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of
farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing to work
could find a job.
Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary
relief measures, but one of the programs - Social Security - has become an
American institution. Paid for by deduction from the paychecks of working
people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly
income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and
other assistance to those who need it. Social Security payments to retired
persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are
slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund
may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 2i s1 century, when
the population of elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy
makers have proposed various ways to make up the anticipated deficit, but a
long-term solution is still being debated.
In the years since Roosevelt, ot�er American presidents have established
assistance programs. These include Medical and Medicare; food stamps,
certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is
built at federal expense and made available to persons with low incomes.
155

Needy Americans can also tum to sources other than government for help. A
broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available.
Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons.
It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18. do volunteer work,
and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity.

A. the U.S. governm�nt agencies B. volunteer organizations
C. the people who came earlier D. only charity organizations

Canada." In 1970 Italy had the highest savings rate of 29.5%, followed by .
France with 18.7% and Japan with 17.6%. Canada had the lowest rate - 5.6%.
By 1990 Italy was still the leading country, though its savings rate had
dropped to 17.6%. Germany was next with 13.8% (same as 1970) and tbe rates
in France and Japan were close behind.· In Canada, the savings rate had almost
doubled to 11.5%. The UK and the USA had the lowest rates, 8.2% and 5.5%

These pie charts show changes in world population between 1900 and
2000. The major regions are represented as percentages of the total world
population.
From 1900 to 2000 Africa's percentage of world population increased
from 4.5% to 10% while Latin America grew from 3% to 8% of world
population. On the other hand, the percentage of population in Europe and Asia
decreased during the same period. Europe dropped from 25% to 14% while
Asia's percentage declined from 60% to 54%. North America, however, showed
no change, remaining at 5% of world population both in· 1900 and 2000. The
Middle East and North Africa, a new category in 2000, represented 6% of
world population. The percentage of population in the remaining areas of the
world rose slightly from 2.5% to 3%.
Overall, this represents a huge increase in ·the number of humans on the
planet from 1,600 million to 6 billion in just one hundred years. Most of this
population growth has occurred in developing countries.

· The graph shows that countries in the developed world produce far more
CO2 than developing countries. Not surprisingly, North America is the chief
culprit producing 19.34 tonnes of CO2 per person per year. This is almost.
double all the OECD countries combined. In contrast to this, Latin America and
the Caribbean produce the smallest levels of CO2 emission at 2.58 tonnes per
person per year. European nations almost emit huge amounts of CO2 with
Central and Eastern Europe producing 9.25 tonnes per capital, and Western
Europe slightly less. However, this figure is still only half the North American
statistics. Countries in Africa and the Asia/Pacific area, on the other hand, are
only responsible for considerably smaller amounts.
