Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal. Other solid
material such as silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures.
Also, some substances such as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when
dissolved in water. The ability of metals to conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond
together. In order to bond together the metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost
electrons. This leaves the metal atoms with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions.
The lost electrons are free to move in what are known as a sea of electrons. Since the
electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and this is what keeps the structure
together.
An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are
free to move they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy
such as a battery is connected to the metal. Hence we have an electric current flowing
through the wire, and this is what makes metals such good conductors of electricity. The only
other common solid conducting material that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite
(what the ‘lead’ of a pencil is made from). Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon
atoms bond in such a way that there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an
electric current. Likewise, if we have an ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically
charged ions flow to create a current but only when those ions are free to move, either when
the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water. In its solid state an ionic substance like salt
cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow.
Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because
they contain no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain do not flow
easily. Water itself is a poor conductor or electricity as it does not contain a significant
amount of fully charged particles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall
the molecule is neutral). However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged
particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water. Many of the problems that occur
when touching electrical devices with wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left
on our skin through perspiration and it dissolves in the water to make it more conductive.
66. Electrical conductivity is ________.
A. one of the most important properties of metals
B. one of the key properties of most solid materials
C. impossible for any substance when it is dissolved in water
D. completely impossible for silicon
67. According to the passage, a metal can conduct electricity due to ________.
A. the absence of free electrons B. its atoms with a positive charge
C. the way its atoms bond together D. the loss of one electron in the core of its atoms
68. The word “outermost” in paragraph 1 mostly means ________.
A. the lightest. B. nearest to the inside.
C. furthest from the inside. D. the heaviest.
69. The atoms of a metal can bond together because ________.
A. the lost electrons cannot move freely in the sea of electrons
B. electrons can flow in a single direction
C. they lose all of electrons
D. negatively charged electrons attract positive ions
70. Salt in its solid state is not able to conduct electricity because ________.
A. it has free electrons B. its charged ions can flow easily
C. it cannot create any charge ions D. it charged ions are not free to move
71. The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. charged ions B. electric currents C. charged particles D. electrical
insulator
72. Water is a poor conductor because it contains ________.
A. no positive or negative electric charge
B. only a small amount of fully charged particles
C. only a positive electric charge
D. only a negative electric charge
73. We can have problems when touching electrical devices with wet hands because
________.
A. the eater itself is a good conductor of electricity
B. the water dissolves the salt on our skin and becomes more conductive
C. the water contains too many neutral molecules
D. the water containing no charged particles makes it more conductive
74. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Pure water is much more conductive than most water we encounter every day.
B. Graphite is a common solid substance that can conduct electricity.
C. Salt can conduct electricity when it is molten or dissolved.
D. Some materials are more conductive than others.
75. Which of the following could best serve as the title of the passage?
A. Electrical Energy B. Electrical Devices C. Electrical Insulators D. Electrical
Conductivity

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 diseases.
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 eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat
like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having low 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 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 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 without regulating dietary fat will probably not help
reduce the blood cholesterol level.
66. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
D. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.
67. According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?
A. minerals B. cholesterol C. canola oil D. vitamins
68. Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?
A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot
69. What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. increasing price B. decreased production
C. dietary changes in hens D. concerns about cholesterol
70. According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested
daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 3/4 B. 2/3 C. 1/2 D. 1/3
71. The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. studied B. destroyed C. tested D. described
72. What is the meaning of 'back up'?
A. reverse B. advance C. block D. support
73. What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'?
A. The results are blended. B. The results are a composite of things.
C. The results are inconclusive. D. The results are mingled together.
74. According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types
of eggs EXCEPT?
A. boiled B. poached C. scrambledD. fried
75. According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A. reducing egg intake but not fat intake B. increasing egg intake and fat intake
C. decreasing egg intake and fat intake D. increasing egg intake but not fat intake

Archimedes' Principle is a law of physics that states that when an object is totally or
partially immersed in a fluid, it experiences an upthrust equal to the weight of the fluid
displaced. The principle is most frequently applied to the behaviourof objects in water, and
helps to explain floating and sinking, and why objects seem lighter inwater. It also applies to
balloons. The key word in the principle is “upthrust”, which refers to the force acting upward
to reduce the apparent weight of the object whenit is under water. If, for example, a metal
block with a volume of 100 cm3 is dipped in water, it displaces an equal volumeof water,
which has a weight of approximately 1 N (3.5 oz). The block therefore seems to weigh about 1
N less.
An object will float if its average density is less than that of water. If it is totally
submerged, the weight of the water it displaces (and hence the upthrust on it) is greater than
its own weight, and it is forced upward and out of the water, until the weightof the water
displaced by the submerged part is exactly equal to the weight ofthe floating object. Thus a
block of wood with a density six tenths that of water will float with six tenths of its volume
under water, since at that point the weight of fluid displaced is the same as the block’s own
weight. If a dense material is made into a suitable shape, it will float because of Archimedes’
principle. A ship floats, whereas a block of iron of the same mass sinks.
It is also because of Archimedes’ principle thatships float lower in the water when they
are heavily loaded (more water must be displaced to give the necessary upthrust). In addition,
they cannot be so heavily loaded if they are to sail in fresh water as they can if they are to sail
in the sea, since fresh water is less dense than sea water, and so more water must be
displaced to give the necessary upthrust. This means the ship is lower in the water, which can
be dangerous in rough weather.
66. What happens when something is immersed in a fluid?
A. It will be pushed further down with a force, equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
B. It receives an upward force, equal tothe weight of the fluid displaced.
C. It receives a downward force, equal tothe weight of the fluid displaced.
D. The fluid will expand the object and overflow to the floor.
67. The word “volume” in the passage refers to ______.
A. loudness B. quantity C. frequency D. length
68. The word “displaces” in the passage almost means “______”.
A. takes the place of B. takes place C. replaces with a new one D. puts in position
69. If an object’s average density is less than that of water, the object will ______.
A. sink B. float C. inflate D. drift
70. A block of wood with a density seven tenths that of water will ______.
A. go up and down then sink
B. float with a half of its volume under water
C. float with an equal volume of its volume under water
D. sink immediately when submerged
71. A ship floats, whereas a block of iron ofthe same mass sinks because the ship ______.
A. is made of wood B. is lighter C. has buoys D. has a special shape
72. The phrase “six tenths” in the passage means “______”.
A. 6 and 10 B. 10/6 C. 10 of 6 D. 6/10

A. upward push B. upper side of an object C. upturned force D. upside-down turn

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niépce needed pictures for his business. He was not a
good artist, so he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took
a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph. The next important date in the history of
photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio.
He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his
pictures, you could see everything clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph
was called a daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's process. Travelers brought back
daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities, and
mountains.
In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of
people and moving things. The process was not simple and photographers had to carry lots of
film and processing equipment. However, this did not stop photographers, especially in the
United States. After 1840, daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.
Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer. He took many portraits
of famous people. The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of
personality. Brady was also the first person to take pictures of a war. His 1862 Civil War
pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and
more terrible.
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy
film ready-made in rolls, instead of having to make the film themselves. Also, they did not
have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it
later. They did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small
handheld camera made photography less expensive.
With a small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras
just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends, and favorite places. They called these
pictures "snapshots".
Documentary photographs became popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon
magazines and books also used them. These pictures showed true events and people. They
were much more real than drawings.
Some people began to think of photography as a form of art. They thought that
photography could do more than show the real world. It could also show ideas and feelings,
like other art forms.
66. The first photograph was taken with ______.
A. a small handheld camera B. a very simple camera
C. a daguerreotype D. new types of film
67. Daguerre took a picture of his studio with ______.
A. a new kind of camera B. a very simple camera
C. special equipment D. an electronic camera
68. The word “this” in the passage refers to the ______.
A. carrying of lots of film and processing equipment
B. stopping of photographers from taking photos
C. fact that daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities
D. taking of pictures of people and moving things
69. The word “ruined” in the passage is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. poorly-painted B. heavily-polluted C. terribly spoiled D. badly damaged
70. The word “lifelike” in the passage is closest in meaning to “______”.

ground, or ants’ or wasps’ nests nearby.
In order to keep insects out of the tent, close it whenever you go in or out. If you need
a camp (82) …………………..……… for cooking, be careful not to build it anywhere near your tent, and
before you go to bed, remember to put it (83) …………………..……… completely, preferably with lots of
water.
After meals, pick up any bits of food that may (84) …………………..……… left on the ground, as

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 diseases.
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 eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat
like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having low 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 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 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 without regulating dietary fat will probably not help
reduce the blood cholesterol level.
66. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
D. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.
67. According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?
A. minerals B. cholesterol C. canola oil D. vitamins
68. Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?
A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot
69. What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. increasing price B. decreased production
C. dietary changes in hens D. concerns about cholesterol
70. According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested
daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 3/4 B. 2/3 C. 1/2 D. 1/3
71. The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. studied B. destroyed C. tested D. described
72. What is the meaning of 'back up'?
A. reverse B. advance C. block D. support
73. What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'?
A. The results are blended. B. The results are a composite of things.
C. The results are inconclusive. D. The results are mingled together.
74. According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types
of eggs EXCEPT?
A. boiled B. poached C. scrambledD. fried
75. According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A. reducing egg intake but not fat intake B. increasing egg intake and fat intake
C. decreasing egg intake and fat intake D. increasing egg intake but not fat intake

The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors the
physical location of the restaurant, e.g., rural or urban; the type of restaurant, e.g., informal
or formal; and certain standards that are more universal. In other words, some standards of
etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere. Learning the proper
etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require
instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience. For example,
while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to do the same in
a more luxurious setting. And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck
your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior
would demonstrate a lack of manners. It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every
restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor. The conclusion
we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurants
determine etiquette appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurants.
66. What topic is this passage primarily concerned with?
A. rules of etiquette B. instruction in proper etiquette
C. the importance of good manners D. variable and universal standards of etiquette
67. According to the passage, which of the following is a universal rule of etiquette?
A. tucking a napkin in your shirt B. not throwing food on the floor
C. reading a magazine at a coffee shop D. eating in rustic settings

A. learning the proper etiquette B. asking for instructions
C. knowing the type of restaurant D. knowing about an area

Early peoples had no need of engineering works to supply their water. Hunters and
nomads camped near natural sources of fresh water, and populations were so sparse that
pollution of the water supply was not a serious problem. After community life developed and
agricultural villages became urban centres, the problem of supplying water became important
for inhabitants of a city, as well as for irrigation of the farms surrounding the city. Irrigation
works were known in prehistoric times, and before 2000 BC the rulers of Babylonia and Egypt
constructed systems of dams and canals to impound the flood waters of the Euphrates and
Nile rivers, controlling floods and providing irrigation water throughout the dry season. Such
irrigation canals also supplied water for domestic purposes. The first people to consider the
sanitation of their water supply were the ancient Romans, who constructed a vast system of
aqueducts to bring the clean waters of the Apennine Mountains into the city and built basins
and filters along these mains to ensure the clarity of the water. The construction of such
extensive water-supply systems declined when the Roman Empire disintegrated, and for
several centuries local springs and wells formed the main source of domestic and industrial
water.
The invention of the force pump in England in the middle of the 16th century greatly
extended the possibilities of development of water-supply systems. In London, the first
pumping waterworks was completed in 1562; it pumped river water to a reservoir about 37
m above the levelof the River Thames and from the reservoir the water was distributed by
gravity, through lead pipes, to buildings in the vicinity.
Increased per-capita demand has coincided with water shortages in many countries.
Southeast England, for example, receives only 14 per cent of Britain's rainfall, has 30 per cent
of its population, and has experienced declining winter rainfall since the 1980s.
In recent years a great deal of interest has been shown in the conversion of seawater to
fresh water to provide drinking water for very dry areas, such as the Middle East. Several
different processes, including distillation, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, and direct-freeze
evaporation, have been developed for this purpose. Some of these processes have been used
in large facilities in the United States. Although these processes are successful, the cost of
treating seawater is much higher than that for treating fresh water.
66. Early peoples didn’t need water supply engineering works because ______.
A. their community life had already developed
B. natural sources of fresh water nearby were always available
C. there was almost no dry season in prehistoric times
D. they had good ways to irrigate their farms

C. the Egyptians D. the US people

A. springs and wells B. systems of aqueducts
C. dams and canals D. water pipes

A. lands B. areas C. pipes D. rivers

Sleep is a natural process, and although a lot have been written about the subject, it is
still surrounded by mystery. It is used by some as an escape from the world, and regarded by
others as an irritating waste of time: some people get by on very little, others claim they
cannot exist without at least ten hours, but nobody can do without sleep completely.
Our night’s sleep does not just consist of a steady phase of gradually deepening sleep.
It alternates between two stages: Non-dreaming or ordinary sleep, and REM (rapid eye
movement) or dreaming sleep. As soon as we fall asleep, we go straight into non-dreaming
sleep for an hour or so, then into REM sleep for about 15 minutes, then back into non-
dreaming sleep. It alternates in this way for the rest of the night, with non-dreaming sleep
tending to last longer at the beginning of the night. Non-dreaming sleep occupies three-
quarters of our night’s sleep, about a quarter of it deep and the rest fairly light.
It is widely believed that sleep repairs the body and makes good the damage caused by
being awake. However, its main function is to refresh the brain. Experts believe that probably
only about two-thirds of our sleep is necessary for repairing and refreshing the brain, with the
most valuable sleep coming in the first few hours of the non-dreaming period, the last few
hours of sleep are not so essential. The brain can manage quite well with reduced sleep as
long as it is uninterrupted sleep.
The quality of sleep is important. A study conducted in the USA looked at short
sleepers, who slept for 5.5 hours on average, and long sleepers, who had 8.5 hours or more. It
is discovered after a variety of tests that the long sleepers were poor sleepers, had twice as
much REM sleep as the short sleepers, appeared to sleep longer to make up for poor sleep,
and did not wake up in the morning refreshed. Similarly, people who sleep deeply do not
necessarily get a better quality of sleep than shallow sleepers. Deep sleepers can feel tired the
following day, so six hours of good sleep is worth more than eight hours of troubled sleep.
66. It can be concluded from the first paragraph that ______.
A. people need equal time of sleep B. sleep remains a puzzle
C. sleep is among the processes of the nature D. everything about sleep has been brought
to light
67. The word “irritating” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. calming B. soothing C. annoying D. comforting
68. All the following statements are true, EXCEPT for ______.
A. our night’s sleep occurs in a straight line of only two phases
B. all sleeps are similar in the alternatives of the two stages during the night
C. we spend only 25 percent of our night’s sleeping time dreaming
D. we often have no dreams right after we fall asleep
69. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. our night’s sleep B. the ordinary sleep C. the REM D. the night
70. The word “occupies” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by ______.
A. accounts for B. takes care of C. works out D. goes up
71. Unlike the common belief, sleep helps ______.
A. not to be awake C. us to fix the damage happening by day
B. us to repair our body D. our brain to rest and recover
72. The study discussed in the reading passage suggests that ______.
A. the fewer hours we sleep, the more we dream
B. deep sleep means better sleep
C. the type of sleep is more important than its length
D. six hours of sleep is better than eight hours
73. Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage?
A. The role of the sleep. B. Sleepless people’s problems.
C. Types of sleep. D. The circle of a sleep.
74. It can be inferred from the reading passage that ______.
A. if we can sleep uninterruptedly, it is not necessary to sleep the whole night
B. REM makes good our brain
C. nearly 70 % of our sleep is invaluable
D. dream enables our body to refresh when we can sleep uninterruptedly
75. This passage is the most likely taken from ______.

By the mid-nineteenth century, the term "icebox" had entered the American language,
but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States. The
ice trade grew with the growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by
some forward-looking city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil
War(1861-1865), as ice was used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use.
Even before 1880, half the ice sold in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of
that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families for their own use. This had become possible
because a new household convenience, the icebox, a precursor of the modern refrigerator,
had been invented. Making an efficient ice box was not as easy as we might now suppose. In
the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of the physics of heat, which was essential to a
science of refrigeration, was rudimentary. The commonsense notion that the best icebox was
one that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the
ice that performed the cooling. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included
wrapping the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the end of
the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation
needed for an efficient icebox.
But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right
track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, forwhich the
village of Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to
transport his butter to market, he found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting
stuff in the tubs of his competitors to pay a premium price for his butter, still fresh and hard in
neat, one-pound bricks. One advantage of his icebox, Moore explained, was that farmers
would no longer have to travel to market at night in order to keep their produce cool.

A. The influence of ice on the diet B. The development of refrigeration

United States?
