Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know much about them. For
example, there are about 350 species of sharks that live in oceans over the world. All of the sharks
are carnivores, but most of them don't attack people. Some sharks are very small - the smallest
shark is about 6 inches long - about as long as your hand. But some sharks are very large. The
largest species of sharks may be 60 feet long and weigh 15 tons. Unlike many other kinds of fish,
sharks do not have bone. Their bodies are made up of a kind of tough white flexible material (called
cartilage). Sharks do not have ears. However, they 'hear' sounds and movements in the wade. Any
sound or movement makes the water vibrate. Sharks can feel these vibrations and they help the
sharks find food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food, too. Most sharks see best in low light.
They often hunt for food at dawn, in the evening, or in the middle of the night.
Nowadays scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example, cancer
is common in many animals, including, people. However, it is rare in sharks. Scientists want to find
out why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people prevent cancer
too.

II. READING.
A. Read the following passage and choose the best answer.
The oceans of the world are filled with thousands and thousands of different living things.
(10)Scientists believe there may be a million different species living in the oceans, some of which have yet to
be discovered. And just like on land, there are many different plants and animals. Many of the ocean plants
either float on the surface of the water or grow in shallow water. Plants in the ocean need sunlight to grow just
like those on land. The deepest parts of the ocean may not contain plant life because the energy from the Sun
cannot reach deep into the ocean.
An ocean plant called seaweed is a type of algae called phytoplankton. (7)Phytoplankton are very
tiny, but it is the plant that gives off more oxygen than any other plant on Earth. Seaweed is a type of algae
that floats on the surface of the water and has been used by people for food, and material for housing, ropes,
and baskets. Kelp is an ocean plant that can reach sizes up to 250 feet. It the largest ocean plant in the world
and is usually brown. Kelp grows and lives on the surface of the water, but some kelp can also be very
colorful. Kelp is another kind of seaweed. It grows very quickly and also needs the energy from the Sun to
survive. A final type of plant is called seagrass. Seagrass also grows in shallow water living on the floor of the
ocean. In addition, they have roots and flowers. There are many other plants in the ocean that are similar to
algae and seaweed.
The ocean is the largest habitat for animals in the world. There is animal life throughout the ocean.
The oceans are so large, there may be animals that have yet to be discovered. The animals of the ocean live
in the deep open sea, or they live on the land and in the water. Coral is an animal of the ocean, even though
many people believe it is a plant. (8)Coral relies on algae in the ocean to keep it alive. The coral also helps
the algae to survive. The algae attached to the coral gives coral its beautiful colors. Coral has tentacles to
capture small fish. Finally, there are many different types of fish living in the world's oceans. Some of the fish
include tuna, sharks, eels, stingrays, clownfish, salmon, sardines, and many others. In addition to fish species,

Siberian (or Amur) tigers are the world's largest cats. They live primarily in eastern Russia's
birch forests, though some exist in China and North Korea. They live (11)
and aggressively scent-mark large territories to (12) their rivals away. They are
powerful hunters that travel many miles to find prey, such as elk and wild boar, on nocturnal
hunts. Females give (13) to litters of two to six cubs, which they raise with little or no
help from the male. Cubs cannot hunt until they are 18 months old, and remain with their mothers
for two to three years, when they disperse to find their own territory. Over the last hundred years,
hunting and forest destruction have reduced overall tiger populations dramatically. Tigers are
hunted (14) trophies and also for body parts that are used in traditional Chinese
medicine. Siberian tigers remain in eastern Russia and the bordering regions. Habitat loss

The three national parks in Wales are visited by an estimate 15 million people each year.
Recreation and tourism are important contributors to the local economy and can contribute to the
social stability of modern rural communities. The National Parks are responsible for promoting
enjoyment and understanding of the special qualities of their particular parks. This is achieved
through visitor centres, guides and books, management of sites and maintaining excess of 5,000
km of rights of way. All three parks operate full-time ranger services.
Of the 15 million about 90% of these arrive in private motor cars, which is a key challenge in
terms of managing visitors but also environment pressure. The parks have been at the forefront of
trying to develop and promote integrated public transport that facilitates and encourages modal shift
and brings economic and service benefits to local people.

Nairobi National Park was established in 1946. It gives visitors a chance to indulge in pure African
safari at the footsteps of a major urban center. It is tiny in comparison (11)
many of Kenya's other national parks, and shows how Kenya was in its natural state, when the City
of Nairobi was just becoming established over 100 years ago.
Nairobi National Park covers just 117km² (44 square miles), and consists (12)
typical, original Kenyan landscape such as plains, forests, steep gorges and lush
vegetation along the banks of the Embakasi River. It has a high-altitude, savannah landscape with
acacia trees dotting across the open plains. The park is located just outside of Nairobi, the capital
city of Kenya, and its boundary adjoins the city's industrial area.
The protection of animals such as lions, leopards and rhinos, as well as the black rhino
conservation program, so close to a major city sometimes results in conflicts between the local
Maasai tribe and the city's four million inhabitants. There are (13) problems as
development continues and air pollution from the nearby industrial area increases. It is quite odd to
see a giraffe grazing against the distant backdrop of high-rise buildings!
Nairobi National Park is perhaps best known for its significant black rhino sanctuary.
This is the best place (14) these endangered animals in their native environment. There
are no elephants in this national park, but four of the "Big Five" can be seen here (lions, leopards,
buffalo and rhinos). Other wildlife commonly seen in the national park include giraffes, elands,
zebras and wildebeest. As well, hippos and crocodiles can often be spotted along the Embakasi
25

the native African wildlife. Carry a notebook and a spotter's guide, (15) plenty of

People listen to classical music all over the world. One reason for its popularity can be the
different meanings it may bring to different people at different time. Some famous classical
composers were Bach, Vivaldi, Haydn, and Mozart. In their music, they did not tell a story or show

II. READING.
When we go and watch a movie in the cinema, we see real people moving and talking on a
big screen in front of us. But how are movies filmed and shown to us? In actual fact, movies do not
really `move' like we think they do. It is our eyes that play tricks on us and make the movies look as
if they are moving.
A movie is filmed using a camera which takes pictures at a very fast speed. The camera can
take 24 pictures in one second! If it is taking pictures of somebody walking, the pictures will show
the different movements of the person in that one second. Since the pictures are taken so quickly,
the difference between each picture is very slight.
The pictures are developed into long strips of film which are then shown, using a film
projector. As we watch, 24 pictures flash before our eyes every second. The pictures go by so fast
that we cannot see each one by itself. What we see is just one picture that seems to move. Our
eyes play a part by blending the pictures with each other.
The same method applies to cartoons. In a cartoon, instead of taking pictures of real people, the
camera takes pictures of drawings. Many drawings have to be made just to show a simple action.
Each drawing is again made only slightly different from the others. The drawings are then
photographed orderly. When everything is complete and the cartoon is shown, it also looks as
though the characters are really moving.

II. READING.
The American type of football was developed in the 19th century from soccer and rugby football.
Played by professionals, amateurs, college, high school, or young children, football in America is one of the
most popular sports. It attracts millions of fans each fall and people are very supportive of their favorite teams.
The origin or beginning of football may have been a game played by the ancient Greeks called harpaston. In
this game, there was no limit to the number of players. The ball was kicked, thrown, or run by the players and
the object was to move a ball across a goal by kicking.
The football playing field of today is rectangular in shape and measures 100 yards long and 53.5
yards wide. White lines are painted on the playing field to mark off the distances to the end zone. The game is
divided into four quarters, each fifteen minutes long. The first two quarters are known as the first half. There is
a rest period between the two halves which usually lasts about fifteen minutes.
Each team has eleven players. Each team has offensive players (play when the team has possession
of the ball) and defensive players (play when the other team has possession of the ball). Players are required
to wear protective equipment to help keep the body safe during the game. Helmets are worn to protect the
head and face area. Pads are worn to protect the shoulders, arms, and legs. Protective equipment must be
worn because of the body contact players have during the game. Officials supervise the game and are
considered to be very important to the game of football. They carry whistles and flags and make certain that
the rules of the game are followed during the game.
The football is made of leather and is brown in color. It is shaped much like an oval and has white
rings near each end of the football. These rings help the players see the ball when it is thrown or someone is
running with it. The eight stitches on the top of the football help players to grip the ball when throwing or
passing. The most famous football game of the year is the Super Bowl that is played in January or February. It
is televised around the world and is watched by millions of people each year.

Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know much about them. For example, there
are about 350 species of sharks that live in oceans over the world. All of the sharks are carnivores, but most of
them don't attack people. Some sharks are very small - the smallest shark is about 6 inches long - about as
long as your hand, but some sharks are very large. The largest species of sharks may be 60 feet long and
weigh 15 tons. Unlike many other kinds of fish, sharks do not have bone. Their bodies are made up of a kind
of tough white flexible material (called cartilage). Sharks do not have ears. However, they 'hear' sounds and
movements in the wade. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrates. Sharks can feel these vibrations
and they help the sharks find food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food, too. Most sharks see best in low
light. They often hunt for food at dawn, in the evening, or in the middle of the night.
Nowadays scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example, cancer is common
in many animals, including, people. However, it is rare in sharks. Scientists want to find out why sharks

The American type of football was developed in the 19th century from soccer and rugby football.
Played by professionals, amateurs, college, high school, or young children, football in America is one of the
most popular sports. It attracts millions of fans each fall and people are very supportive of their favorite teams.
The origin or beginning of football may have been a game played by the ancient Greeks called
harpaston. In this game, there was no limit to the number of players. The ball was kicked, thrown, or run by
the players and the object was to move a ball across a goal by kicking. The football playing field of today is
rectangular in shape and measures 100 yards long and 53.5 yards wide. White lines are painted on the playing
field to mark off the distances to the end zone. The game is divided into four quarters, each fifteen minutes
long. The first two quarters are known as the first half. There is a rest period between the two halves which
usually lasts about fifteen minutes. Each team has eleven players. Each team has offensive players (play when
the team has possession of the ball) and defensive players (play when the other team has possession of the
ball).
Players are required to wear protective equipment to help keep the body safe during the game.
Helmets are worn to protect the head and face area. Pads are worn to protect the shoulders, arms, and legs.
Protective equipment must be worn because of the body contact players have during the game. Officials
supervise the game and are considered to be very important to the game of football. They carry whistles and
flags and make certain that the rules of the game are followed during the game. The football is made of leather
and is brown in color. It is shaped much like an oval and has white rings near each end of the football. These
rings help the players see the ball when it is thrown or someone is running with it. The eight stitches on the
top of the football help players to grip or hold the ball when throwing or passing. The most famous football
game of the year is the Super Bowl that is played in January or February. It is televised around the world and
is watched by millions of people each year.
5. Which of the following is NOT true?
A.The football field is rectangular in shape.

<II> READING:
Why don’t birds get lost in their long flights from one place to another? Scientists have puzzled over this
question for many years. Now they are beginning to fill in the blanks.
Not long ago, experiments showed that birds relied on the sun to guide them during daylight hours.
But what about birds that fly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are
able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.
A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn
ability to use the stars for guidance. The birds cage was placed under an artificial star filled sky. The bird tried
to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousin. Any change in the position of the stars caused
change in the direction of his flight.
Scientists think that doves, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are
apparently their principal means of navigation. What do they do when the stars are hidden by cloud?
Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coastlines, and river courses. But
when it’s too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to get their bearings.
5. The reason why birds don’t get lost on long flights ______________.
A. has been known to scientists for years B. is known by everybody
C. still remains a question D. has been discovered recently
6. Experiments showed that ______________.
A. birds rely on the sun to guide them B. birds rely on the sun to guide them
C. day-flying birds rely on the sun while night-flying birds rely on the stars
D. birds are likely to get lost if there aren’t artificial stars
7. Under artificial stars, the bird in the cage ______________.
A. tried to fly in the same direction as birds not caged
