but in fact the whole city was rebuilt after World War II.

PART B: READING
L Read the passage and do the task that follows.
Where vegetarian meals are served in courses, the parts are usually fitted into an unchanged pattern:
soup, main course, salad and dessert. Many vegetarian cooking books have imposed this old structure
onto the vegetarian diet and try to find a "meat substitute". However, the first thing to do when
considering the vegetarian cuisine is to get free of these ideas.
Vegetarian cookery is not the replacement for anything. It is a rich and varied cuisine, full of many
marvelous dishes with definite characteristics, not the imitation of anything else. There are many ways to
arrange a vegetarian menu. It need not be the slave of the traditional pattern, though this arrangement
seems fitting and useful. It can also consist of several equally important courses or several dishes served
at once.
1. How many courses are there in a vegetarian meal?
A. one. B. two. C. three. D. four.
2. What does the word "meat substitute" in bold mean?
A. Things that are made of meat. B. Things that replace meat.
C. Things that look like meat. D. Things that imitate meat.
3. According to the first passage, the author seems to
A. agree that the vegetarian meals should be the same as in the cookbooks.
B. agree on the vegetarian cookbook's old structure.
C. disagree that the vegetarian meals should always follow the traditional pattern.
D. agree that the pattern should be kept unchanged.
4. According to the second passage,
A. The vegetarian menu lends itself to various arrangements.
B. There is only one main course but there are different arrangements in a vegetarian menu.
C. The traditional arrangement for a vegetarian menu is useless.
D. The traditional arrangement for a vegetarian menu is the best.
5. What is the writer's main purpose in the passage?
A. To say that the traditional vegetarian meal is not suitable
B. To tell the readers that the vegetarian meal is served in course
C. To say that the vegetarian meals are rich and various cuisine, full of many marvelous dishes with
definite characteristics
D. To give background knowledge on the vegetarian meal

To many people, smoking is not only a pleasure but also an addiction. They need smoking, depend on
it, and can hardly get rid of it. If they do not smoke for hours, they will feel a craving for a cigarette. They
often chain-smoke that means they light one cigarette after another. Smoking is often considered anti-
social because many people do not like the smell of cigarettes or the sight of the smoker's stained fingers
and of ash-trays full of cigarette-ends. Above all, smoking is harmful to health. In many countries, they
forbid to advertise cigarettes and a warning is printed every packet of cigarette that is "Smoking is bad for
your health". Scientists have proved that there is a close link between smoking and lung diseases, such as
cough and tuberculosis and the worst of all is a fatal cancer.

Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the
sky. And other thought it was a big ball'of cheese!
The telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was really another world. They wondered
what it was like. They dreamed of going there.
On July 20, 1969, that dream came true. Two American men landed on the moon. Their names were
Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust.
The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living
thing had ever made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain
to wipe them off.
The two men walked on the moon for hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for study.
They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then
they climbed back into their moon landing craft.
Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael Collins
in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon. Then they were off on their long trip back to earth.
Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up.

PART B: READING
1. Read the passage and do the task that follows.
Mickey Mouse was not Walt Disney's first successful cartoon creation, but he is certainly his most
famous one. It was on a cross-country train trip from New York to California in 1927 that Disney first
drew the mouse with the big ears. Supposedly, he took his inspiration from the tame field mice that used
to scamper into his old studio in Kansas City. No one is quite sure why he dressed the mouse in the now-
familiar shorts with two buttons and gave him the yellow shoes. But we do know that Disney had
intended to call him Mortimer until his wife Lilian intervened and christened him Mickey Mouse.
Capitalizing on the interest in Charles Lindbergh, Disney planned Mickey's debut in the short cartoon
Plane Crazy, with Minnie as a co-star. In the third short cartoon, Steamboat Willie, Mickey was whistling
and singing through the miracle of the modern soundtrack. By the 1930s, Mickey's image had circled the
globe. He was a superstar at the height of his career.
Although he has received few minor changes throughout his lifetime, most notably the addition of
white gloves and the rounder forms of a more childish nobody, he has remained true to his nature since
those first cartoons. Mickey is appealing because he is ice. He may get into trouble, but he takes it on the
chin with a grin. He is both good-natured and resourceful. Perhaps that was Disney's own image of
himself. Why else would he have insisted on doing Mickey's voice in all he cartoon for twenty years?
When interviewed, he would say, "There is a lot of the mouse in me". And that mouse has remained one
of the most pervasive images in American popular culture.
1. With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?
A. The image of Mickey Mouse. B. The life of Walt Disney.
C. The history of cartoon. D. The definition of American culture.
2. What distinguished Steam Willie from earlier cartoon?
A. Better color. B. A sound track.
C. Minnie Mouse as co-star. D. The longer format.
3. The first image of Mickey Mouse is described as all of following EXCEPT
A. He was dressed in shorts with two buttons.
B. He had big ears.
C. He wore yellow shoes.
D. He was using white gloves.
4. The word "pervasive" could best the replaced by
A. Well-loved. B. Widespread.
C. Often copied. D. Expensive to buy.
5. The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses
A. The history of cartoons. B. Other images in popular culture,
C. Walt disney's childhood. D. The voices of cartoon characters.

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, was one of the truly great men of all time.
He preserved the American Union during the Civil War and proved to the world that democracy can be a
lasting form of government. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and many of his other speeches and writings,
are classic statements of democratic beliefs and goals.
Lincoln's outstanding asset was insight. Lincoln realized at the beginning of the Civil War that the
Union must be saved. The United States was the only important democracy in the world. Lincoln knew
that self- government would be proved a failure if the nation could be destroyed by a minority of its own
people. He determined that the nation and democracy would not be destroyed.
Lincoln's second greatest asset was his ability to express his convictions so clearly, and with such
force, that millions of Americans made them theừ own Lincoln would have been surprised that some of
his speeches came to be honoured as great literature. He sought only to be understood, and to convince.
Lincoln's third great source of strength was his iron will. The Civil War had to be carried on until the
Union was restored. At times, people in the North wavered in this purpose. Lincoln never doubted that in
the end, right would make might, and the North would triumph. His unyielding faith in victory helped to
win victory.
1. According to the passage, what was the Gettysburg Address?

B. A famous talk by Lincoln on democratic principles.
C. One of the essays on government written by Lincoln
D. Lincoln's speech at his inauguration.
2. According to the passage, what was Abraham Lincoln's greatest strength?
A. The ability to see the true nature of a situation.
B. The capacity to express his views in public.
C. His success in becoming president of the United States.
D. The impact of his speeches and writings.
3. The author probably feels that Lincoln
A. Was at times too stubborn for his own good.
B. Never fully realized the importance of self - government.
C. Was as great a writer as he was a politician.
D. Was single - handedly responsible for saving the union.
4. The passage would most likely be found in a textbook on which of the following subjects?
A. Historical literature B. Public administration

5. According to the passage, Abraham Lincoln believed that the North.
A. Would quickly triumph over the minority of people trying to destroy the union.

The moon is the second brightest object in the sky after the sun. It is the onlv natural satellite of the
Earth and orbits around it. It has a diameter of about 3,476 kilometers and has many craters on its surface.
These were formed by meteor crashes millions of years ago. It takes the moon 27.3 days to make one orbit
around the earth and the same period of time to complete one rotation on its axis.
The moon is the only celestial body that has been visited by human beings. One reason is that the moon
is much closer to the earth than the other planets; it is estimated that the moon is about 24,000 miles from
the earth. We can create gravitational forces between the earth and the moon cause some interesting
effects. The most obvious is the tides. Under the gravitational effect of the moon, the water in the earth's
oceans, as they are fluid, is pulled toward the moon. This cause tides when the level of the sea rises and
falls.

2. How long does it take the moon to complete a rotation on its axis?
A. 27.3 days B. 23.7 days
C. more than 27.3 days D. less than 23.7 days
3. The word celestial in the first line of paragraph 2 is meaning to which of the following?
A. earthly. B. faraway. C. space. D. strange.
4. What causes tides on the earth?
A. The gravitational effects between the earth and the moon.
B. The movements of the oceans.
C. The gravitational effects of the sun on the earth.
D. The close distance between the earth and the moon.
5. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A. Man cannot visit any other planets other than the moon.
B. Man will one day live on the moon.
C. Tides are the only effect that the moon has on the earth.
D. Other planets apart from the moon are more than 240,000 miles from the earth.

can use it fluently and confidently. Of course, when you know some English, you can learn more just by using
it on the Internet. But a least your English should be good enough to understand commonly used words and

Every four or ten years, something happens to the weather system. Everything changes, and scientists don't
understand why.
People call this "El Nino". It usually happens at Christmas time and El Nino is the Spanish name for the
baby Jesus.
The El Nino that started in 1982 was different from the other recent ones. It caused huge changes in the
ocean currents. It caused floods in some areas and droughts in others. There were terrible windstorms and
huge ocean waves swept houses into the sea. It did billions of dollars' worth of damage. Thousands of
people lost their lives and thousands of others were left homeless.
In 1983 the winds, ocean currents and pressure areas started to become normal again. Scientists throughout
the world are using satellites and research boats to observe the atmosphere and the ocean. It is a very
complicated problem, but if the scientists of the world work together, they should be able to find out the
causes of El Nino. Then they will be able to predict what will happen and work to prevent a repeat of the
death and destruction of 1982-1983.

PART B: READING
Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate
solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs, so no
new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other renewable
sources, they also possess many advantages: wind and water power relies on turbines which are noisy,
expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving
parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime.
However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy during
daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large are to work effectively.
The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it
costs about twice as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are
expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more people see the
advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy.
1. What does the passage primarily discuss?
A. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil energy.
B. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
C. Solar energy's advantages over other sources of energy.
D. The cost of solar energy.
2. What does the word "they" in line 5 refer to?
A. solar cells. B. solar energy users.
C. other renewable resources. D. advantages.
3. What is NOT mentioned as an advantage of solar cells?
A. They are non-polluting. B. They operate quietly.
C. They require little maintenance. D. They cost little to produce
4. Which of the following is NOT a traditional source of energy?
A. oil. B. gas. C. solar energy. D. coal.
5. Which of the following is the main disadvantage of solar energy?
A. It is expensive.
B. It depends on sunlight.
C. Solar cells require large areas to operate.

Thanks to the development of modern technology, the idea of an electronic house is no longer ridiculous.
It will be possible to have a house run electronically by computer technology in the near future. Lights can
be turned on and off on a regular schedule. Old and sick people can be taken care of at home by computers.
Many modern machines contain computer chips, allowing their users to program them. For example, a
microwave oven can be "instructed" to cook a certain dish. The housework will be done by the dishwasher,
74
the washing machine and dryer, and so on. Most entertainment equipment will operate with computer
technology, too. Some examples are radios, television sets, CD player, etc. These equipment can be set up
to electronically go to certain channels or stations, or record specific programs at certain times. Indeed, cars
can be started automatically so that on cold winter mornings people can get into a warm vehicle to drive to
work. In short, computers will be widely used from operating the household equipment to entertaining
people.
1. What did people use to think about the idea of an electronic house?
A. clear. B. new. C. silly. D. clever.
2. You can program a/an to make a dish.
A. oven. B. washing machine.

3. Most entertainment equipment is operated by
A. certain channels. B. specific records.
C. computer technology. D. instructions of a microwave oven.
4. A computer can help the house automatically.
A. operate. B. entertain. C. protect. D. A and B.
5. What can be electronically controlled in the house?
A. kitchen appliances. B. entertainment equipment.
C. cars and other vehicles. D. all of the above.

English was first written down in the 6th century. At that time, writers had to use the twenty-three letters
of the Latin alphabet to write down what they heard. Because English has sounds that do not exist in Latin,
they added letters to represent the forty-four sounds of English. This resulted in some irregular spelling.
After the Norman invasion of England in 1066, French became the language spoken by the king and other
people in positions of power and influence. Many French words were introduced and the spelling of many
English words changed to follow French patterns. The result was a rich and irregular mix of spellings.
The printing press was invented in the 15th century. Many early printers of English texts spoke other first
languages, especially Dutch. They often paid little attention to how English words were spelled. Sometimes
technical decisions were made to give columns of print straight edges. To do this, letters were taken off the
ends of words and sometimes added to words. With time, people became used to seeing words spelled in
the same way. Fixed spellings were therefore created by the printers' decisions. Spoken English, however,
was not fixed. It continued to change, as it still does. It is no wonder that English spelling seems irregular.
Words such as although, through and cough, for example, all have the same spelling at the end, but are
pronounced differently. Words such as feet, meat and seize, on the other hand, are spelled differently but
have the same sound in the middle.
1. When was English first written down?
A. in the 10th century. B. in the 6th century.
C. in the 15th century. D. in the 16th century.
2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The Latin alphabet has twenty three letters.
B. English has sounds that do not exist in Latin.
C. The Normans in invaded English in 1066.
D. English spelling did not follow the
3. According to the passage, which of the following did not influence English spelling?

B. The introduction of French words.
C. The tourists' decisions.
D. The decisions made by the early printers of English texts.
4. Spoken English
A. has been fixed. B. has always changed.
C. has been interesting. D. was invented by Dutch people.

A. have the same spelling, but are pronounced differently.
B. are differently spelled, but pronounced all the same.
C. have the same-spelling at the end, but are pronounced differently.

The invention of the phonograph happened quite by accident. Thomas Edison moved to Menlo Park,
New Jersey, in 1876, where he established an industrial research laboratory. There, Edison was working on
a carbon telephone transmitter to improve the existing Bell telephone system.
In that laboratory a year later, Edison invented the phonograph while he was trying to improve a
telegraph repeater. He attached a telephone diaphragm to the needle repeater; in this way, he able to
reproduce a recording that could be played back. After he made some improvements to the machine, he
tested it. He recited "Mary Had a Little Lamb" into the machine and played his voice back to a very surprised
audience.

The Americans are keen to win the race to send human beings to Mars. In 1922, the new boss of
NASA, Dan Goldin, called on the American people to be the first to send explorers to another planet in the
solar system. He reminded them of the symbolic gift carried to the moon and back by the Apollo 11 mission.
It bears a message intended for the crew of the first spaceship to visit Mars. Goldin thinks it is time to begin
the preparation for this historic journey. His speech echoed the words of the President, who promised that
in 2019, 50 years after Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the Moon, the first astronaut
would stand on Mars.
By the end of the twentieth century, various unmanned spaceships will have thoroughly investigated
the surface of the planet. But, however clever a robot may be, it cannot match the type of information which
can be gained robot may be, it cannot match the type of information which can be gained from direct human
experience. The first geologist on the moon, Harrison Schmitt, was capable of interpreting the story of the
landscape on the spot. Until humans walk on the red deserts of Mars, we will not be able to determine the
history of this frozen world in any detail.

Independence Day in the United States is observed annually on the Fourth of July. For most communities
throughout the nation, the traditional celebration includes parades down the main streets, picnics with hot
dogs and lemonade, and, of course, a fireworks display at night. In some towns across the country, however,
special events are planned in honor of the occasion. In Bristol, Rhode Island, fire engine teams from
communities throughout New England compete in a contest to squirt water from their fire hoses. Flagstaff,
Arizona hosts a huge three-day powwow, including a rodeo for twenty Native American tribes. The annual
Eskimo games with traditional kayak races are held in Kotzebue, Alaske. Two auto races are always
scheduled for the Fourth, including a four-hundred-mile stock car event at the Daytona International
speedway in Daytona, Florida, and an annual auto race up the fourteen-thousand-foot precipice at Pike's
Peak in Colorado.
Several small towns celebrate in other unique ways. Hannibal, Missouri, the hometown of Mark, Twain,
invited the children to participate in a fence-painting contest, re-enacting a scene from Twain's novel Tom

PART B: READING
Interviews are not a perfect method of choosing the best people for jobs; however human beings like to
examine each other in this way. One of the many problems of selection as it is commonly practiced is that the
forms filled by applicants often fall to show people as they really are. This means that you can follow all the
best advice when completing your from and still find that you are unsuccessful at the next stage- the interview.
Similarly, in the rare cases where interviews are automatic, a candidate with an inadequate form may do
surprisingly well. Of course your form needs to show that you have confidence in your ability to do the job,
but don't try to turn yourself into someone else - a person you have to pretend to be at the interview. Realism
and honesty are the best approach.
