SECTION 1: Questions 1 — 5
Read the passage below. Circle the letter next to the best answer to each question (A, B, C or D).
Living together may be defined as two unrelated adults involved in an emotional and sexual
relationship who sleep overnight in the same residence on a regular basis. Almost 4 million
unmarried couples are living together. Almost half of the U.S. population in their 30s report that
they have lived with someone they were not married to.
Reasons for an increase of almost 600 percent in living together since 1970 include a delay of
marriage for edlir•ntinnP1 or career commitments, fear of marriage, increased tolerance from
society for living together, and a desire to avoid the legal entanglements of marriage. Types of
living-together relationships include those involving partners who live together for fun, testers,
engaged couples, and cohabitants forever. Most people who live together eventually get married
but not necessarily to each other.
Most cohabitants drift into living together by progressively spending more time in one residence.
They usually divide housework along traditional lines and tend to keep their money and property
separate. Social policies to give benefits to domestic partners (live-ins) have been slow to evolve.
Only about 10 percent of corporations provide such benefits.
Advantages of cohabitation include delaying marriage, gaining information about oneself and
one's partner, and being able to terminate an unsatisfactory relationship without the stigma of
divorce. Disadvantages include feeling exploited, feeling guilty about lying to parents, and not
having the same economic benefits as those who are married. Social Security and retirement
benefits are paid to spouses, not to live-in partners.
Cohabitation does not ensure a happy and durable marriage. When cohabitants marry, they are
more likely to divorce than individuals who did not live together before marriage. Cohabitation
may draw individuals who are "norm breakers" and who are less committed to the institution of
marriage. It may also provide a context for withdrawing from a conflictual relationship rather
than negotiating solutions.
Involvement with another person is a primary reason college student dating/cohabitation
relationships end. Such an ending usually involves a face-to-face conversation that the
relationship is over. Issues to consider in ending a relationship include being realistic about the
potential of any relationship to meet all needs, taking the blame for why the relationship needs to
end, and accepting that grieving is an important aspect of adjusting to a terminated relationship.
Adjustment to a broken relationship is aided by the passage of time (particularly for women) and
a new partner (particularly for men).

SECTION 2: Questions 6-10

Read the following article about a woman who bought a zoo. Five sentences have been removed
from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (6-10). There is one
extra sentence which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (0).
My new home is a zoo!
Amelia used to live in a farmhouse in Surrey. 'It was very comfortable,' says Amelia, 'and I had
everything I wanted: enough money and a good network of friends.' But her grown-up children
weren't keen on her being alone. None of them — and certainly not Amelia — imagined for one
minute that the whole family would end up buying a property that included a zoo! Amelia and
her family heard that an unusual property called Dartmoor Zoological Park had come on the
market — complete with animals including bears, tigers, lions and eagles — and were very curious.
Dartmoor Zoological Park is part of an old country estate. Looking out over the zoo is a 13-
bedroom house dating from the 1800s. Three of her children-went with Amelia for a viewing.
(0) A
S rs •F .•-r
However, she didn't tell them this. Amelia admits: 'I only went along to be friendly. It was
pouring with rain and very muddy and my first impression wasn't that positive.' As it turned out,
Amelia could see that there was room for the whole family and that the place had enormous
potential.
(6)
'It was very uncomfortable,' says Amelia. 'There wasn't even central heating and the showers
didn't work!' However, she wasn't discouraged at all by the state of the house. In fact, she was
very determined.
(7)
In a busy life which has involved a great deal of upheaval and change, she has moved house 16
times. Not only did Amelia have the task of restoring the house to its former glory, even helping
to repair the floors and the roof, she also had to think about taking care of the animals. All the
animals were in need of tender, loving -care; the bears were hugely overweight and the female
tigers had to be locked up to stop them fighting. Amelia decided quickly that the health and well-
being of the animals had to come first and not the house.
(8) 'k
And as for Amelia herself, it is clear that she also adores animals and looks with enormous
pleasure at the countryside that now surrounds her. From the beginning, friends had warned her
that taking on this huge enterprise was a mad idea. None of the family had any experience of
running a business on this scale.
(9) Ag-
The jobs were endless: finding zoo keepers, building new enclosures, renovating the restaurant
and above all making sure the big cats couldn't escape. All of these things cost a great deal.
(10)
But thdy needn't have worried. The first year has been a good one, with more interest from the
public than they expected. 'I want the zoo to continue to do well for everybody,' she says. 'Not
just for the family and the animals, but because so many people had so many doubts. We're a
determined family and if we all pull together, we'll always succeed. Amelia now has several
responsibilities, including managing the café and supervising the team of zoo keepers. Her
flexibility is not a surprise if you look at her remarkable life. Her first job was headmistress of a
tiny school where she was also the caretaker, cook and librarian, so she has never been afraid to
take on a variety of roles.
A. She was not very enthusiastic about the idea.

B. Fortunately there was already a love of animals in the family, and one of her sons had already
worked at London Zoo.
C. When they moved in, money was so tight it was uncertain they would succeed.
D. But Amelia was aware that zoos were not as popular as they used to be.
E. The reason for this is that she is used to having to start all over again.
F. But though it was huge and had so much history, the house was in a very bad condition.
G. It was an exciting moment when the zoo finally reopened last summer, though nobody was
confident of success.

Exhorted by their leader, some 900 members of the Reverend Jim Jones' People's Temple
picked up paper cups and drank purple Kool-Aid laced with the deadly poison cyanide.
Psychologically, the mass suicide at Jonestown in 1978 is not so incredible as it might seem. The
inhabitants of Jonestown were isolated in the jungles of Guyana, intimidated by guards, and
lulled with sedatives. They were also cut off from friends and relatives and totally accustomed to
obeying rigid rules of conduct, which primed them for Jones' final loyalty test. Of greater
psychological interest is the question of how people reach such a state of commitment and
dependency.
Why do people join groups such as the People's Temple? The People's Temple was a classic
example of a cult. A cult is a group in which the leader's personality is more important than the
beliefs she or he preaches. Cult members give their allegiances to this person, who is regarded as
infallible, and they follow his or her dictates without question. Almost always, cult members are
victimized by their leaders in some way or another.
Psychologist Margaret Singer has studied and aided hundreds of former cult members. Her
interviews reveal that in recruiting new members, cults use a powerful blend of guilt,
manipulation, isolation, deception, fear, and escalating commitment. In this respect, cults employ
high-pressure indoctrination techniques not unlike those used in brainwashing. In the United
States alone, an estimated 2 to 5 million people have succumbed to the lure of cults.
11. What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage?

A. to describe the techniques used by cult leaders
B. to contrast cults with traditional religious groups
C. to persuade readers of the value of cults
Cp. to suggest reasons why people join and follow cults
12. The author suggests that the mass suicide at Jonestown was
A. due to food poisoning.
B. a result of insanity of the cult members.
C expected by everyone who knew Jim Jones.

A. a culture of drugs and alcohol
a strong leader to whom members give unquestioned loyalty
C. illiterate and uninformed members
D. a strong set of beliefs that differ from traditional ideas
14. How are the techniques used by cults similar to those used in brainwashing?
A. Members of the group are encouraged to be independent thinkers.
B. Both use multiple leaders who rotate command.
High-pressure indoctrination is used in both.

How much can environment alter intelligence? In one study, striking increases in IQ occurred in
25 children who were moved from an orphanage to more stimulating environments. The
children, who were all considered mentally retarded and unadoptable, were moved to an
institution where they received personal attention from adults. Later, these supposedly retarded
children were adopted by parents who gave them love, a family, and a stimulating home
environment. The children gained an average of 29 IQ points. For one child, the increase was an
amazing 58 points. A second group of initially lf.ce "retarded" children, who staycd in the
orphanage, lost an average of 26 IQ points. Other encouraging results can be found in early
childhood education programs, which provide stimulating intellectual experiences for
disadvantaged children. In one study, children from low-income families were given enriched
environments from early infancy through preschool. By age 2 their IQ scores were already
higher than those in a control group. More important, they were still 5 points higher 7 years later.
High-quality enrichment programs such as Head Start can prevent children from falling behind
in school. A particularly striking environmental effect is the fact that 14 nations have shown
average IQ gains of from 5 to 25 points during the last 30 years. These IQ boosts, averaging 15
points, occurred in far too short a time for genetics to explain them. It is more likely that the
gains reflect environmental forces, such as improved education, nutrition, and living in a
technologically complex society.
1. The main idea of this passage is that
A. early childhood education programs are important for low-income children.
g
environmental factors have a great influence on a child's IQ.
C. orphanages are full of mentally retarded children.
D. retarded children cannot improve their IQ's.

D. keeping retarded children with others like themselves.
3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an environmental factor that affects IQ?

SECTION 2: Questions 6— 10
Read the following article. Five sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the
sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (6-10). There is one extra sentence which you do not
need to use. There is an example at the beginning (0).
Sarah, a Practising Acupuncturist
I've done a lot of travelling in Europe and Asia throughout my adult life and it was whilst I was
teaching in China that I became interested in acupuncture.
(0) D
It was after returning from China and witnessing how successful it had been that I reached the
decision to become an acupuncturist myself. I was lucky to discover that the town where I lived
had a famous and well-reputed college of traditional acupuncture.
Alternative medicine is particularly important for me because I firmly believe that it works on
the level of body, mind and spirit.
(6) c(-1
Of course this medicine is very powerful and can consequently have powerful side effects.
Alternative medicine like acupuncture on the other hand is aimed at treating the person as a
whole. When a person's ill, there's something in their life which is putting their energy levels out
of balance. What alternative therapies try to do is help to _gradually push that energy back into
balance. The result is that any disease present might naturally disappear as it cannot survive
when energies are balanced.
The treatments consist largely of balancing the energy between the different meridians of a
person's body.
(7)fr
Treatment aims to free blocks of energy in these meridians which may be causing ill health and
which may have been there for many years.
It would be an odd state of affairs if a practising alternative therapist had not had treatment
themselves and this is certainly not the case for myself.
(8) r
I've never suffered particularly from physical problems but treatment for my mental and spiritual
wellbeing has been very successful.
I've treated a wide range of people for various conditions, for example people suffering from
stress and anxiety and helped them to cope with stressful situations in their lives.
(9)
There's another woman who suffers from arthritis of the hip and at the moment I'm treating an
old lady who has several- health problems, one of them being Parkinson's Disease. All these
people have found that acupuncture has made them feel more balanced in themselves and they
have certainly benefited from the treatment.
Page 2 of 5 thi tang Anh—Trinh dO B2 —D'd se; 4

To: date Lcurrently own.the Licentiate in Acupuncture. This course lasted three years and I had to
go to the college about one weekend in three.
(10)
I had a/large amount of homework to do and practical work, which I did two or three evenings a
week. This entailed locating points on different people. As you can imagine, this isn't
straightforward as people are different sizes and have different shaped bodies.
In the future I hope to set up an alternative health clinic which will involve myself as an
acupuncturist but perhaps other people as well.
I'd like to work with practitioners of homeopathy, reflexology, aromatherapy and perhaps
counselling. I'd like to set this up somewhere in a rural setting, where people could enjoy
coming not only for the treatment but where they would be able to sit and enjoy the scenery, go
for walks and basically feel free from the stresses of life.
A. These are twelve acupuncture channels along which energy travels in the human body.
B. Also on a physical level I've treated a woman for problems with eczema.
C. There was a lot more to it than that though.
D. It is common for people there to have acupuncture treatment, not only if they're ill but
also to prevent the onset of diseases.
E. Contrary to popular belief, having the needles placed in your body is quite painless.
F. I've had a lot of acupuncture treatment and found it particularly useful.
G. This is very different from Western medicine which is supposed to work solely on the
body.
SECTION 3: Questions 11 —15

The Boy Who Paints Like an Old Master
Kieron Williamson is at home in his small kitchen. He takes a pastel from the box by his side and
starts drawing on a piece of paper. "Have you got a picture in your head of what you're going to
do?" asks his mother, Michelle. Kieron nods. "A snow scene." Like many great artists, small
boys don't talk much. While Kieron is a very normal seven-year-old who doesn't say a lot, the
picture that slowly appears on the small piece of paper is incredible.
Recently, Kieron's second exhibition of paintings in a gallery in his home town of Holt, Norfolk,
sold out in 14 minutes. People paid a total of £18,200 for the 16 new paintings. There are now
680 people on a waiting list to buy one of Kieron's paintings. Art lovers have driven from
London to buy his work. The starting price for a simple pastel picture like the one Kieron is
drawing is £900.
Kieron lives with his dad, Keith, his mum and Billie-Jo, his little sister, in a small flat. When I arrive
on a Saturday afternoon, Kieron and Keith are out. When Kieron returns in football socks and
shorts, I think he has probably been playing football. But no, he has been buying some more paints.
There have always been young geniuses in the world of art. Some newspapers have compared
Kieron to Picasso, who painted his first painting at the age of eight. These days, however, we
often wonder about child prodigies like Kieron. We wonder whether their pushy parents have put
them under pressure. People who don't know the Williamsons might think it is just clever
marketing, especially when they hear that Keith is now an art dealer.
The truth is more simple and honest. Two years ago, a serious accident forced Keith to stop work
and his hobby — collecting art — became his full-time job. Kieron was surrounded by paintings
and, like any small boy, he wanted to copy his dad so he decided to start drawing. Now, father
and son are learning about art together.
At first, Kieron's pictures were like any other five-year-old' s pictures. But he made quick
progress and soon began to ask questions that his parents couldn't answer. "Kieron wanted to
know the technicalities of art and how to put a painting together," says Michelle. Local artists
offered to help him and he has had lessons with his favourite artist, Tony Gamer.
Garner, a professional artist, has taught more than 1,000 adults over the last twenty or thirty
years and says that Kieron is much better than any of them. "He doesn't say very much, he
doesn't ask very much, he just looks. He's a very visual learner. If I do a picture with most
students, they will copy it. Kieron is different. He will copy it and then he will make it his own,"
he says. "There's a lovely freshness in his paintings."
Keith and Mfchelle are extremely proud of their son but they also protect him. They say that
Kieron only paints when he wants to. He does about six paintings a week. He likes his pictures to
be perfect and he gets really frustrated if a painting doesn't work out well. On one day, he
punched a hole in the canvas.
What do his school friends think? Are they impressed? "Yeah." A few moments later, Kieron
pauses. "I am also top of the class in maths, English, geography and science," he says carefully,
drawing the sky in his picture. What does he think about people spending so much money on his
paintings? "Really good." Would he like to be a professional painter? "Yeah." So he doesn't
want to be a footballer when he is older? "I want to be a footballer and a painter."
What would his parents say if Kieron told them he was not going to paint any more? "It's his
choice," says Michelle. "We don't know what will happen in the future. Kieron might decide to
stop painting and be more interested in football. It's difficult at the moment because so many
people want to buy Kieron's paintings but I'm going to tell them to wait."
Not many artists could paint or draw while answering questions but Kieron doesn't stop painting.
When he finishes, we look at the picture. "Not bad. That's nice," says Keith. I would love to buy
one of his pictures but, I tell Kieron, he is already too expensive for me. I thank him for his time
and give him my .business card. And Kieron goes into his bedroom, comes out with his business
card and says thank you back.

SECTION 1
Questions 1 — 5
Since the world has become industrialized, there has been an increase in the number of animal
species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction. Bengal tigers, for instance,
which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300, and by
the year 2025 their population is estimated to be down to zero. What is alarming about the case
of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers
who, aceoldiug tu aic nut illicicStcd iiiatclia1 gaii. but in personal gratification.
This is an example of the callousness that is part of what is causing the, problem of extinction.
Animals like the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are a valuable part of the
world's ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their
survival, and the survival of our planet. 10
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some
countries, in order to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal.
reserves. They then charge admission to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they
often must also depend on world organizations for support. With the money they get, they can
invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another solution that is an attempt to 15
stem the tide of animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered
species. This seems fairly effective, but it will not, by itself, prevent animals from being hunted
and killed.
1. What is the main topic of the passage?

Questions 6 — 10
Read the following article. Five sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the
sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (6-10). There is one extra sentence which you do not
need to use. There is an example at the beginning (0).
You could be jetting off to exotic locations, staying in five-star hotels, eating in top-class
restaurants, and it's all paid for by your employer. Who wouldn't want a job that involves foreign
travel? 0. ........ ........ The number of jobs requiring international travel is growing significantly.
And citing business travel experience on your CV can bring enormous professional benefits.
But it's not always as exciting as it sounds. There is a big difference between travelling to Milan
as a tourist and travelling there to spend a day in the type of hotel meeting room that can be
found anywhere in Europe. It can be very exciting, but you need to keep your feet firmly on the
ground 6. IT Flights can be delayed, things can go wrong and it's easy to get exhausted.
Many jobs mean travelling alone, so you can be lonely.
Simply targeting any job that involves foreign travel is not the way to start. 7. . It's as
illogical as saying you want a job that involves wearing smart clothes. Instead, you should
consider all the usual factors, such as qualifications and experience, and only then choose a
sector or company that offers opportunities for international travel.
The travel and hotel trades are obvious areas, but the commercial sector also offers good
prospects for travel. In the retail sector, buyers often travel, especially if they work in fresh
produce, where they have to check the suitability of crops. Employment in communications,
banking and finance, and property management is also worth looking at. Jobs in the engineering
and environment sector can involve travel, too. Almost any career can mean international travel,
if you choose the right company and role. The number of jobs involving travel, especially at
middle-management level, is growing.
So what will help you secure a role with an international flavour? 8. Cs A second language
is a good indication of how well someone will adapt. You need to show you are flexible and
willing to learn. If your company has a sister company in the Czech Republic, for instance,
learning some Czech will boost your chances.
Find out what the company offers as a support package. Many now guarantee that you can return
home at the weekends, or they will limit the amount that people travel each year. 9.....
One company asked graduates fresh out of university to move. to another country over a
One
weekend, alone, and to find their own accommodation.
And it's as well to remember that international travel can be stressful. People can get burned out
by international business travel. You need to be in control of your schedule, rather than leaving it
to the company. You must ensure you get time to rest and talk to your employer all the time
about how you are coping. Don't wait for formal appraisals or until they ask for your views.
.......... Most sensible companies ask people to commit to two to three years. This increases
the likelihood of success. And most people who travel on business remember it fondly.

A. On the other hand, it does bring personal benefits, and it also has a dramatic effect on
promotion prospects.
B. Making travel your first requirement is not the way to choose a career.
C. And realize you might not want to travel forever.
D. Employers look for candidates with an international outlook.
E. And there are plenty of opportunities.
F. But not all employers are like this.
G. Speak to seasoned international business travellers to get an idea of what you will face.
SECTION 3 -
Questions 11 — 15
Read the passage below. Circle the letter next to the best answer to each question (A, B or C).
11. What is the main purpose of this passage?

(A-) to inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol
to persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
C. to introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level
12. According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart disease?
A. minerals B. vitamins 0 cholesterol
13. According to the passage, what has been the cause for changes in e sale of eggs?
A. increasing price decreased production a shrinking market
14. According to the passage, one egg yolk contains approximately what fraction of the
suggested daily lirriit for human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 1/3 2/3 C. 1/2
15. What docs thc author mean. by tl-ie phrase "mixed results" in line 16?
. The results are a composite of things.
. The results are inconclusive.
. The results are mingled together.
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs
also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart disease. One egg
yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This
knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the
development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute 5
eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are
cooked. They have the advantage of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled
or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or
boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called "designer"
eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such 10
as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that
contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these
eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies
to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human 15
cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the
main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be
more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that
certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it
still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this 20
without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.

SECTION 1:
Questions 1 - 5
Read the passage below. Choose the best answer to each question. Write your answer (A, B, C. or .D) on
your answer sheet.
In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas.
Of these, only about half a dozen become the strong, circling winds of 74 miles per hour or more that are called
hurricanes, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and
bring death to large numbers of people.
The great storms that hit the coast start as soft circling wind hundreds - even thousands - of miles out to
sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the southeast
winds. When conditions are just right, warm moist air flows in at the bottom of such a wind, moves upward
through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it, the heat
is changed to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to move
counter clockwise motion.
The life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine.
The energy in .the heat released by a hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of
the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a
hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inches downpour, causing sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful
movement of the sea - the mountains of water moving toward the hurricane center. The water level rises as much
as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.
1.When is an ordinary tropical storm called a hurricane?
A. When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas. B. When its winds reach 74 miles per hour.
C. When it is more than 74 miles wide. D. When it hits the Coastline.
2. What is the worst thing about hurricanes?
• A. The terrible effects of water. B. The heat they give off.
C. That they last about nine days. D. Their strong winds
3. Here the underlined word "downpour" means
A. heavy rainfall B. dangerous waves
C. the progress of water to the hurricane center D. the increasing heat
4: Which of the following statements about a hurricane is NOT true?
A. It travels more than 75 miles per hour.
B. It usually stays about nine days.
C. It usually causes 6 to 12 inches downpour.
D. It sometimes brings the sea water level to the height of 15 feet

SECTION 2:
Questions 6-10
You are going to read an article written by someone who lives in a house in a valley. Six sentences have
been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (6-10). There
is ONE extra sentence which you do not need to use.
Living in the valley
We had been living in our valley for sixteen months when we first realized the dangers that could
exist in the surrounding hills and threaten our very survival.
(0) E Until that time, we had felt safe and sheltered in our valley below the protecting
hills.
Soon snow began to fall. Within a day it lay some 15 centimeters deep. (6) But on the
neighboring heights the snow was much deeper and stayed for longer. Up there the wind blasted fiercely.
Deep in our valley we felt only sudden gusts of wind; trees swayed but the branches held firm.
And yet we knew that there was reason for us to worry. The snow and wind were certainly
inconvenient but they did not really trouble us greatly. (7) It reminded us of what could
have occurred if circumstances had been different, if the flow of water from the hills had not, many years
before, been controlled, held back by a series of dams.
In a short time the snow started to melt. Day after day, we watched furious clouds pile up high over
the hills to the west. Sinister grey clouds extended over the valleys. (8) We had seen
enough of the sky; now we began to watch the river, which every day was becoming fuller and wilder.
The snow was gradually washed away as more and more rain streamed from the clouds, but high up
in the hills the reservoir was filling and was fast approaching danger level. And then it happened — for the
first time in years the reservoir overflowed. (9)
The river seemed maddened as the waters poured almost horizontally down to its lower stretches. Just
a couple of meters from our cottage, the stream seemed wild beneath the bridge. (10) For
three days we prayed that it would stay below its wall. Fortunately, our prayers were answered as the dam
held and the waters began to subside.
On many occasions through the centuries before the dam was built, the river had flooded the nearby
villages in just such a rage. Now, though, the dam restricts the flow of the river and usually all is well; the
great mass of water from the hills, the product of snow and torrential rain, remains behind its barrier with
just the occasional overflow. We can thus enjoy, rather than fear, the huge clouds that hang over the
valley, and can be thrilled by the tremendous power which we know the river possesses Thanks to this
protection we can feel our home in the valley is still secure and safe.
A. It was the river, the Ryburn, which normally flowed so gently, that threatened us most.
B. And yet the immense power of all this water above us prevents us from ever believing ourselves
to be completely safe in our home.
C. They twisted and turned, rising eastwards and upwards, warning of what was to come.
D. It was far deeper than we'd ever seen it so near our home, lunging furiously at its banks.
E. It was the year when the storms came early, before the calendar even hinted at winter, even
before November was out.
F. It almost completely blocked our lane and made the streamSide path slippery and dangerous.
G. There in the heights it was like the Niagara Falls, as the water surged over the edge of the dam
and poured into the stream below.
SECTION 3:
Questions 11 - 15
Read the passage below. Choose the best answer to each question. Write your answer (A,B, C, or D) on
your answer sheet.
If we believe that clothing has to do with covering the body, and costume with the choice of a
particular form of garment for a particular use, then we can say that clothing depend primarily on such
physical conditions as climate, health, and textile manufacture, whereas costume reflect social factors
such as religious beliefs, aesthetics, personal status, and the wish to be distinguished from or`to emulate
our fellows.
The ancient Greeks and the Chinese believed that we first covered our bodies for some physical
reason such as protecting ourselves from the weather elements. Ethnologists and psychologists have
invoked psychological reasons: modesty in the case of ancients, and taboo, magical influence and the
desire to please for the moderns. In early history, costume must have fulfilled a function beyond that of
simple utility, perhaps through some magical significance, investing primitive man with the attributes of
other creatures. Ornaments identified the wearer with animals, gods, heroes or other men. This
identification remains symbolic in more sophisticated societies. We should bear in mind that the theater
has its distant origins in sacred performances, and in all period children at play have worn disguises, so as
to adapt gradually to adult life.
Costume helped inspire fear or impose authority. For a chieftain, costume embodied attributes
expressing his power, while a warrior's costume enhanced his physical superiority and suggested he was
superhuman. In more recent times, professional or administrative costume has been devised to distinguish
the wearer and express personal or delegated authority; this purpose is seen clearly in the judge's robes
and the police officer's uniform. Costume denotes power, and since power is usually equated with
wealth, costume came to be an expression of social caste and material prosperity. Military uniform
denotes rank and is intended to intimidate, to protect the body and to express membership in a group. At
the bottom of the scale, there are such compulsory costumes as the convict's uniform. Finally, costume
can possess a religious significance that combines various elements: an actual or symbolic identification
with a god, the desire to express this in earthly life, and the desire to enhance the wearer's position of
respect.
11. Why does the author mention the police officer's uniform?
A. To illustrate the aesthetic function of costume
B. To identify the wearer with a hero
C. To suggest that police are superhuman
D. To show how costume signifies authority
12. The passage mainly discusses costumes in term of its
A. physical protection B. religious significance
C. social function D. beauty and attractiveness
13. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To describe the uses of costume B. To contrast costume with the clothing
C. To trade the origins of costume D. To point out that clothing developed before costume
14. Which of the following would most likely NOT be reflected in a person's costume, as it is defined in
the passage?
A. Having a heart condition B. Playing in a baseball game
C. Working in a hospital D. Participating in a religious ceremony
15. It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that . .......
A. The function of costume has become very sophisticated
B. Children like to identify with other creature by wearing costumes
C. Primitive people wore cloths only for sacred performances
D. Costume no longer fulfills a function beyond simple utility

Questions 1 - 5
Read the passage below. Choose the best answer to each question. Write your answer (A, B, C, or D) on
your answer sheet.
Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare has told reporters that 15;000 people a year kill themselves in
South Korea. This means the country has the highest suicide rate of any developed country in the world.
Another 100,000 people end up in hospital after trying to commit suicide. Every day, about 43 Koreans
take their own life. The Ministry said that the biggest reason is stress at school or work. Other reasons
include loneliness, and the sadness when another family member commits suicide. A church official said
the high rate is a danger to Korean society because the country's birth rate is so low. He said: "If the high
suicide trend continues, the whole society could find itself on the edge of a cliff." This growing problem
is made worse because of copycat behavior when a celebrity commits suicide in Korea. Research shows
that the suicide rate jumps around 30 per cent in the two months after a celebrity suicide. News reports of
a star's suicide can result in 600 Koreans ending their own life. .Many people say television is to blame
because it spends too much time reporting on news of suicides and this gives people the idea, they too
can end their life. The Korea Times newspaper said the government should do more to help people. To
lower the suicide rate, Korea should become a more compassionate and caring society even at the
expense of a slower-growing economy.

Questions 6-10
You are going to read an article written about danger at sea. Six sentences have been removed from the
article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (6-10). There is ONE extra sentence
which you do not need to use.
DANGER AT SEA
Catastrophes at sea and in the air make grim headlines: they represent a great deal of sorrow for the
families of the dead and injured. Why do they occur? (0) F Pyromaniacs
light fires, as in the case of the ferry, Scandinavian Star, sailing from Norway to Denmark. In the week
following that tragedy, there were two other cases of fires on board ferries: on one plying between Wales
and Ireland, and on another between Portsmouth and Cherbourg. In both of them, a man died.
Clearly, fire is a commonplace hazard, and a very dangerous one, at sea. Talking after the Scandinavian
Star had been towed into the small port of Lysekil, a Swedish police spokesman made it clear how awful
if had been. He said: "The toll from the blaze that engulfed the ferry south of Oslo fiord is still officially
75 dead and 60 missing. (6) People tried to save themselves in the cabins
and they are lying in big piles and it's difficult to figure out how many there are. There are a lot of
children."
(7) On board the Scandinavian Star, a fireman said the ferry had only one
system to pump and spray water on to the flames and that pumping and spraying had to be done
alternately. On a wider scale, newspapers reported once again on the world-wide system of "flagging-out"
which means that ships are not registered in the countries where they operate, and where the regulations
are strict and expensive, but in places like Panama and Cyprus and the Bahamas, where they are lax and
cheap. The Scandinavian Star, although Danish-owned, was registered in the Bahamas.
One of the more outrageous cases came to light in October 1989. A general cargo ship named the Bosun
set sail from Hamburg under the flag of the small central American state of Belize.
(8) They were charged with flying a false flag, and forgery of Belize
government documents. A police officer said: "Belize was not the latest entrant in the cheap flag stakes;
they in fact operate no shipping whatsoever. When we contacted the Belize High Commission in London,
they were astonished to learn that a ship was pretending to be registered in their country."
Rules are laid down for ship safety by United Nations organisations. The rules are strict, and specify that
a ship must be built with heat and fire resistant bulkheads, fire doors to passenger and crew areas, sealed
cable and air conditioning trunking to block smoke, non-combustible materials and/or sprinkler systems,
smoke detectors and alarms, and signposted emergency exits. (9) He
explains: "The big loophole is the lack of power to test whether these rules are being enforced. The port
state is entitled to carry out spot checks on ships to make sure their safety certificates are in order; the
lifeboats are all there and don't have holes in them; and that there are the necessary charts, life-jackets in
the racks, and fire hoses in their reels. But they don't have the power to test whether they all work, or the
crews know how to use them. I think the public has a right to be worried." He goes on to point out that
the Scandinavian Star would have been built to a very high design standard. However, it is likely that
neither her crew nor her safety equipment could have been checked in the Bahamas before she began
carrying passengers.
Why do the shipowners do it? According to the Secretary of the National Union of Seamen, the answer is
cost. He says: "The Danish owners of the ill-fated Scandinavian Star could have registered her in
Denmark and employed ratings belonging to the appropriate union. (10)
The ship would have come under the rigorous scrutiny of the Danish port inspectorate.
"But the inspectors might have insisted on potentially costly modifications and the ratings would have
asked for Danish wages and accompanying social benefits. Much simpler (not to mention cheaper) to
register her in the Bahamas and at a stroke free the owners from such irksome restrictions. It is surprising
that the insurance companies do not demand more effective crews and higher safety standards."
Page 2 o14 DA thi tiAng Anh - Trinh c1.6 £2 - De' sá 06
A. About 100 bodies have already been taken off the ship and as many as 50 to 100 could still be on board.
B. In the immediate aftermath of such catastrophes reports of inadequate safety measures circulate.
C. Among the survivors of this horrific tragedy there may be some ideologues who share this free-market
philosophy, but I doubt it.
D. West German police arrested and charged two men, the ship's British master and its German owner.
E. These would have been properly trained in fire-fighting and lifeboat drills and been able to communicate
with their officers and the passengers in the event of an emergency.
F. Terrorists plant bombs, as in the case of the destruction of the American airliner over Lockerbie in
Scotland.
G. But all these rules of ship design are meaningless according to an expert from the Nautical Institute.
SECTION 3:
Questions 11 - 15
your answer sheet.
Today's cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more econbmical than their predecessors, but the car of the
future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile
engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity,
compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-
emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other
dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles
entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric
delivery vans, bikes and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are
focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging
facilities will need to be as common as today's gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in
commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while
they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient
parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit
centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of
electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline
hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling
five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today.
11. The author's purpose in the passage is to
(A.. describe the possibilities of transportation in the future.
B. narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles.
C. support the invention of electric cars.
D. criticize conventional vehicle.
12.The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage EXCEPT
A. vans B. trains C. trolleys planes
13. The passage would most likely be followed by details about
automated freeways B. pollution restrictions in the future
C. the neighborhood of the future D. electric shuttle buses
14. In the second paragraph, the author implies that
A. everyday life will stay much the same in the future.
B. a dependable source of electric energy will eventually be developed.
(c. a single electric vehicle will eventually replace several modes of transportation.
D. electric vehicles are not practical for the future. 5

Man discovered fire many thousand years ago. The first time he saw fire was probably _when a tree was
struck by lightning. He soon learned how to make fire for himself. However, man probably made his fire
by rubbing two sticks together.
Fire was very important to man. He needed fire to keep himself warm at night. He used fire to cook his
food. He used fire to frighten away enemies and wild animals. In some parts of the world he used fire to
signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make smoke signals. In some other countries
people lit fires to warn their friends of danger.
Fire was very also used to give light. Before the invention of oil lamp, men used burning sticks as
torches. And before man discovered gas and electricity, he hung small fires in wire baskets from posts to
light the streets.
One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took exactly
twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit the candle and could tell
the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle clock did not always
work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned too quickly.

Questions 6-10
You are going to read an article written about how to become a billionaire. Six sentences have been
removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (6-10). There is
ONE extra sentence which you do not need to use.
How do you become a billionaire?
Bill Gates, the head of Microsoft, the creator of Basic, MSDOS, Windows and Flight Simulator, is the
richest man in America. If you lived to be 70, you would have to make $100 million dollars every year of
your life in order to come up with what Gates is currently worth. (0) D Gates
himself draws a salary around $300,000, about a tenth of that claimed by America's best-paid company
heads.
He is a one-man band: he works 15-hour days and loses his temper easily. He is addicted to competition,
and to winning. He enjoys poker and fast cars. Above all, he is a technical whizkid.
(6) By the time he was 16, he had already set up a company, and was making
money from computing. Maths was his strong subject, important because it shares with programming the
same ways of thinking. Gates was paid to debug the local mainframe, and he also offered a data-
processing service to local authorities.
When the first PC appeared on the cover of Popular Computer in January 1975, Gates, then 19, phoned
the manufacturer. He claimed he had a version of Basic for the 8080 microprocessor and was ready to do
business. Working night and day, Gates and a friend squeezed the language into 4K with enough space
left over to run a programme. (7) The coding certainly required a high level
of ingenuity.
Things were done so quickly that a bootstrap loader had to be written on the flight to deliver the
completed tape. (8) Gates never forgot how his Basic was immediately pirated
by computer companies all over the world. He became a very sharp businessman indeed, unwilling to
give anyone a free ride.
A typical example of the Gates technique can be demonstrated by his relationship with IBM. IBM split
with Microsoft and produced its own version of OS/2 to compete with Windows. (9)
When OS/2 had to be Windows-compatible to stand a chance of survival, Microsoft released Windows
3.1 and made other changes so that IBM's product was compatible only with last year's model.
(10) They wear T-shirts and anoraks, eat pizzas and read sci-fi, but they know
more than the difference between ROM and RAM, and they shall inherit the earth.
It was a task so difficult that many claimed it was impossible.
C13./ By a miracle, the tape worked when it was loaded.

IBM is a company whose management were tied to old technology.
D. Of course, that wealth is largely the result of Microsoft's astronomical share price.
Gates started early.
(P, It's a hard life competing against the new technicians
G. But Microsoft makes money on every copy of OS/2 that IBM sells.

Questions 11 - 15
Read the passage below Choose the best answer to each question. Write your answer (A, B, C, or D) on
your answer sheet.
The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous
steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, make many foods unfit to eat. Some
research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent
of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon, people of different cultures are more
prone to contract certain illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume.
That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that
nitrates and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meats) as well as other food additives caused
cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to
know which ingredients on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful' or harmful.
The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and
because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.
Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial
reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the
market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these
procedures, the practices continue.
_ A healthy diet is directly

_ related to good health.
_ Often, we are unaware of detrimental substances we
ingest. sometimes well- meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these
substances to food without our knowledge.

A. Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food have been virtually eradicated.
B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.
re. As a result of scientific invention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food.
D. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables.
12. What are nitrates used for?
A. They preserve flavor irf packaged foods. 43. They preserve the color of meats.
C. They are the objects of research. D. They cause the animals to become fatter.
13. The word " carcinogenic" is closest in meaning to
A. trouble- making B. money- making C. color- retaining D. cancer- causing
14. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT
drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.
B. some of additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals.
C. researchers have known about the potential hazards of food additives for more than forty-five years.

Questions 1 - 5
your answer sheet.
The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house. There are many museums devoted to the decorative
arts arid- man.y -house museurn-s; but rarely- in the-United States is a great collection displayed in a gteat
country house. Passing through successive generations of a single family, Winterthur has been a private
estate for more than a century. Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929 and 1931, the
house remained a family residence. This fact is of importance to the atmosphere and effect of the
museum. The impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitors; the rooms look as if they were
vacated only a short while ago — whether by the original owners of the furniture or the most recent residents
of the house can be a matter of personal interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a
collection of furniture and architectural elements has been assembled. Like an English country house, it is
an organic structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of displaying it to the visitors, has
changed over the years. The changes have coincided with developing concepts of the American arts,
increased knowledge on the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the achievement of a
historical effect in a period-room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have followed this current, yet still
retain the character of a private house.
The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years in an effort to
present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would give them more meaning
for the viewer. Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history museum, the period room represents
the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble objects
related by style, date, or place of manufacture.

SECTION 2:
Questions 6-10
You are going to read an article about the traditional Japanese sport of sumo wrestling. Six sentence
have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (6-10).
There is ONE extra sentence which you do not need to use.
WOMEN STORM THE SUMO RING
"Hakkyoi!" At the signal, two crouching sumo wrestlers rush towards each other and the contest starts.
Loud grunts fill the air as the components collide and, less than a. minute later, it is all over.
(0) F The winner, 60-kilogram Chantal Freebury, bows low to her fallen rival.
This dojo, or sumo ring, is in England, and Freebury is not a typical sumo wrestler. Sumo has been a male-
only martial art since it began in Japan 1300 years ago. No longer. (6)
According to the International Sumo Federation, which oversees women's sumo, female wrestlers are now
represented in 17 countries.
"I started doing sumo because I wanted to get in shape in a fun and exciting way," says Freebury, who
trains with other female sumo enthusiasts in the area. "I have actually lost weight since I started learning
sumo three years ago. It has really toned up my muscles." (7) "I can come to a
session and get rid of it fighting an opponent", she says. "It makes me feel great. I can forget everything
when I come to the sumo ring."
Sumo master Steve Pateman, who has coached Freebury for the past three years, says the sport is ideally
suited to women. "It is not just about brute force," he says. "Anyone can win through technique and tactics."
(8) "Stability is everything in sumo, and women benefit because they tend to
have shorter legs so their center of balance is naturally closer to the ground."
The risk of injury is minimal, too, as sumo is one of the more straightforward martial arts. The idea is to
push your partner out of a five-meter round ring, or force him or her to touch the ground with any part of
their body other than the soles of their feet. (9) As Pateman says, "Kick-boxing
and karate are much more violent."
Freebury trains twice a week, and each hour-long session starts with a warm-up. The shiko, or leg stamping
exercise, important for developing balance and thigh strength, involves a crab-like movement where each
bent leg is raised in turn and stamped back down on the floor. But collision training is the most demanding.
(10)
Freebury clearly loves doing her sport. So what is the likelihood of it becoming popular among women?
Freebury is not convinced. "A lot of girls would like it if they gave it a try, but they are put off by the look
of it," she says.

. There are 48 legitimate techniques for doing this, but kicking, punching and hair-
pulling are not allowed.
B. The Japanese art is also a great way to deal with stress.
C. Each contest might last only seconds, but high levels of physical effort are required.
D. Despite protests from traditionalists, there are numerous women-only sumo contests
and a female world champion.
E. This involves charging and pushing another wrestler across the ring until both parties
are red-faced and sweating.
F. The loser, a 140-kilo mountain of muscle and fat, lies flat on his back, brought down
by a hip throw.
G. Women are even at an advantage because of their body shape.
SECTION 3:
Questions 11 - 15
your answer sheet.
The principle of use and disuse states that those parts of organisms' bodies that are used grow larger. Those
parts that are not tend to wither away. It is an observed fact that when you exercise particular muscles, they
grow. Those that are never used diminish. By examining a man's body, we can tell which muscles he uses
and which he does not. We may even be able to guess his profession or his recreation. Enthusiasts of the
'body-building' cult make use of the principle of use and disuse to 'build' their bodies, almost like a piece
of sculpture, into whatever unnatural shape is demanded by fashion in this peculiar minority culture.
MUkle-s -are-r;o1 1he bñly pai-fs -of -the hody ',fat resporid T.O -dst- ifithis kind-c5f ,,,7a31-. 1Aralk-bateloot-and you
acquire harder skin on your soles. It is easy to tell a farmer from a bank teller by looking at their hands
alone. The farmer's hands are horny, hardened by long exposure to rough work. The teller's hands are
relatively soft.
The principle of use and disuse enables animals to become better at the job of surviving in their world,
progressively better during their lifetime as a result of living in that world. Humans, through direct exposure
to sunlight, or lack of it, develop a skin color which equips them better to survive in the particular local
conditions. Too much sunlight is dangerous. Enthusiastic sunbathers with very fair skins are susceptible to
skin cancer. Too little sunlight, on the other hand, leads to vitamin-D deficiency. The brown pigment
melanin which is synthesized under the influence of sunlight, makes a screen to protect the underlying
tissues from the harmful effects of further sunlight. If a suntanned person moves to a less sunny climate,
the melanin disappears, and the body is able to benefit from what little sun there is. This can be represented
as an instance of the principle of use and disuse: skin goes brown when it is "used', and fades to white
when it is not.
11. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How the principles of use and disuse change people's concepts of themselves.
B. The way in which people change themselves to conform to fashion
ci...
e The changes that occur according to the principle of use and disuse.
D. The effects of the sun on the principle of use and disuse.
12. According to the passage, men who body build
A. appear like sculptures B. change their appearance
C. belong to strange cults Ctj. are very fashionable
13. It can be inferred from the passage that the principle of use and disuse enables organisms to
2 . better survive in their conditions B. automatically benefit
C. change their existence D. improve their lifetime r

14. The author suggests that melanin
A. is necessary for the production of vitamin-D B. is beneficial in sunless climates
C. is a synthetic product D. helps protect fair-skinned people
15. In the second paragraph, the author mentions sun tanning as an example of
A. humans improving their local condition B. humans surviving in adverse condition
© humans using the principle of use and disuse D. humans running the risk of skin cancer
