One of the most important (34)_______ of a standardized test is time. You'll only be allowed a certain

the wisely of questions and the sections that looks easier than the rest. Then, make a rough time schedule
based on the amount of time available to you. Mark the halfway point on your test and make a note beside that
mark of the time when the testing period is half over.
Once you begin the test, continue moving. If you work slowly in an attempt to (36)_______ fewer
mistakes, your mind will become bored and begin to wander. You'll end up with far more mistakes if you're
not concentrating. If you take too long to answer questions that stump you, you may end up running out of
time before you finish. So don't stop for difficult questions. Skip them and move on. You can come back to
 them later if you have time. A question that takes you five seconds to answer counts as much as one
(37)_________takes you several minutes, so pick up the easy points first. (38)_______, answering the easier
questions first helps build your confidence and gets you in the testing groove. If you're a little ahead, you
know you're on track and may even have a little time left to check your work. If you're a little behind, you
have several choices. You can pick up the pace a little, but do this only if you can do it comfortably.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
Zoo officials say that they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain "collections" of
interesting "items" rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals in
captivity. However, animals in zoos are bored, limited, lonely, and far from their natural homes.
Zoos claim to educate people, but in fact, visitors don't learn anything meaningful about the natural
behavior, intelligence, or beauty of animals. Most zoo areas are quite small, and visitors can rarely observe
animals’ normal behavior in these unnatural spaces.
The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental
stimulation or physical exercise. This results in abnormal and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A
worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals in small spaces or cages. For
example, Bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth. These are all signs of distress.
Zoos also claim to save animals from extinction. However, zoos that breed endangered animals, such as
big cats and Asian elephants, often do not release them to the wild. Ultimately, we will save endangered
species only if we save their habitats. We also need to stop people from killing them. Instead of supporting
zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals and preserve their homes in the wild.
(Adapted from www.usingenglish.com/forum/threads/zoo)
Question 39. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The natural homes for zoos’ animals. B. The suffering zoos bring captured animals.
C. The things zoo officials concern. D. The comfort for zoo visitors.
Question 40. The word “observe” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. watch B. feed C. raise D. touch
Question 41. According to the passage, zoochosis is popular among animals in ______.
A. the wild B. natural homes C. cages D. large spaces
Question 42. The word “them” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.
A. signs B. their habitats C. endangered animals D. zoos
Question 43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Zoos educate people by showing them animals’ natural behavior.
B. Zoos remain animals’ protective habitats.
C. Zoos always release endangered animals to the wild.
D. Zoos keep animals in small spaces
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
Human blood comes in four different types, namely A, B, AB and O. In most of the world, most people are
ignorant of which blood type they possess, since it is important only if they have to undergo an operation which
requires a blood transfusion. In Japan, however, things are different, since a large proportion of the population
believes that blood type determines personality and, as a result, over 90% of the population are aware which
type they are.
This linking of blood type and personality has ramifications across life, but is especially prominent in
prospective relationships and employment. For example, in Japan one popular way to meet romantic partners is
to go to specialised venues which conduct speed dating. A single man and woman sit alone together at a table
for just a few minutes. Then a bell rings, and they go to sit with someone new. Some such venues hold dating
sessions which are limited to men or women of a particular blood type. For those who believe in the blood-type
theory, this seems to maximise their chance of finding someone special.
The current popularity of the idea exploded in the 1970s following the publication of a book by Masahiko
Nomi, even though he was a lawyer and broadcaster who had no medical or psychological training. His ideas
were largely anecdotal, and many critics thought it mere superstition, but the book nevertheless sparked great
interest in the general public. Now his son, Toshitaka, continues to promote the theory, and nowadays it is
ubiquitous in Japanese popular culture, featuring on morning TV, women’s magazines and best-selling self-
help books.
 Much like horoscopes in the West, the blood group theory is regularly debunked by scientific
experimentation, yet it retains popular appeal. Perhaps one reason for this is that it helps to break the ice in
social situations. Japanese people do not always find it easy to express their opinions, so discussing blood types
is an indirect way of telling people what you think of them.
Question 44. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The blood-type theory B. Blood and its functions
C. Different theories about blood type D. Masahiko Nomi, a famous author
Question 45. How is the blood-type theory used in speed dating?
A. People go to tables according to their blood types.
B. Dating couples talk about the theory and what it means.
C. Some people want to meet only people of a particular blood type.
D. People try to guess the blood type of their date.
Question 46. What is TRUE about the popularity of the blood-type theory?
A. It became popular due to the writings of a father-and-son team.
B. It is popular because of a traditional idea in Japanese culture.
C. It is not as popular as it was in the 1970s.
D. It became popular following experiments conducted by Masahiko Nomi.
Question 47. It can be inferred from the passage that in Japan
A. people associate blood types solely with personality traits.
B. a complicated scientific theory relating blood types to personality has been developed.
C. many more people than elsewhere know which type of blood they have.
D. blood transfusions are made only for certain types of blood.
Question 48. What does the word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?
A. prospective relationships B. a single man and woman
C. specialised venues D. a few minutes
Question 49. The word “sparked” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. spoilt B. improved C. generated D. terminated
Question 50. The word “debunked” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. recognised B. increased C. decreased D. undervalued
