V. READING COMPREHENSION (20 pts) PASSAGE 1: ( 10 pts)
Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question.
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, made 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 meat) 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.
41. How has science done a disservice to people?
A. Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated.
B. It caused a lack of information concerning the value of food. 6
C. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food.
D. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables.
42. The word “prone” is nearest in meaning to ______. A. supine B. unlikely C. healthy D. predisposed
43. What are nitrates used for?
A. They preserve flavor in packaged foods.
B. They preserve the colour of meat.
C. They are the objects of research.
D. They cause the animals to become fatter. 44. FDA means ______. A. Food Direct Additives B. Final Difficult Analysis
C. Food and Drug Administration D. Federal Dairy Additives
45. The word “these” refers to ______. A. meats B. colors C. researchers D. nitrates and nitrites
46. The word “carcinogenic” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. trouble-making B. color-retaining
C. money-making D. cancer-causing
47. All of the following statements are TRUE except ______.
A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons
B. Some of the 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
D. Food may cause forty percent of the cancer in the world
48. The word “additives” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. added substances B. dangerous substances C. natural substances D. benign substances
49. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Harmful and Harmless Substances in Food. B. Improving Health through a Natural Diet.
C. The Food You Eat Can Affect Your Health. D. Avoiding Injurious Substances in Food.
50. The word “ fit” is closest in meaning to ______. 7 A. athletic B. suitable C. tasty D. adaptable YOUR ANSWER: 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. PASSAGE 2 (10 pts)
Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question.
Commuting is the practice of travelling a long distance to a town or city to work each day,
and then travelling home again in the evening. The word commuting comes from commutation
ticket, a US rail ticket for repeated journeys, called a season ticket in Britain. Regular travellers are called commuters.
The US has many commuters. A few, mostly on the East Coast, commute by train or subway,
but most depend on the car. Some leave home very early to avoid the traffic jams, and sleep in their
cars until their office opens. Many people accept a long trip to work so that they can live in quiet
bedroom communities away from the city, but another reason is ‘white flight’. In the 1960s most
cities began to desegregate their schools, so that there were no longer separate schools for white and
black children. Many white families did not want to send their children to desegregated schools, so
they moved to the suburbs, which have their own schools, and where, for various reasons, few black people live.
Millions of people in Britain commute by car or train. Some spend two or three hours a day
travelling, so that they and their families can live in suburbia or in the countryside. Cities are
surrounded by commuter belts. Part of the commuter belt around London is called the stockbroker
belt because it contains houses where rich business people live. Some places are becoming
dormitory towns, because people sleep there but take little part in local activities.
Most commuters travel to and from work at the same time, causing the morning and evening
rush hours, when buses and trains are crowded and there are traffic jams on the roads. Commuters
on trains rarely talk to each other and spend their journey reading, sleeping or using their mobile
phones, though this is not popular with other passengers. Increasing numbers of people now work at
home some days of the week, linked to their offices by computer, a practice called telecommuting. 8
Cities in both Britain and the US are trying to reduce the number of cars coming into town
each day. Some companies encourage car pooling (called car sharing in Britain), an arrangement for
people who live and work near each other to travel together. Some US cities have a public service
that helps such people to contact each other, and traffic lanes are reserved for car-pool vehicles. But
cars and petrol/gas are cheap in the US, and many people prefer to drive alone because it gives
them more freedom. In Britain many cities have park-and-ride schemes, car parks on the edge of the
city from which buses take drivers into the centre.
(Extracted from Oxford Guide to British and American Culture, Oxford University Press, 2000)

D. Using a commutation ticket for special journeys in all seasons of the year.

A. buying a season ticket again. B. happening again and again. C. saying something again. D. doing something once again.

VI. CLOZE TEST (20 pts):
PASSAGE 1: (10 pts) Choose the best option to fill in the gaps. ENGLISH SPELLING
Why does English spelling have a reputation for being difficult? English was first written
down when Christian monks came to England in Anglo-Saxon (61)_____.They used the 23 letters
of Latin to write down the sounds of Anglo-Saxon communication as they heard it. However, 10
English has a (62)______ range of basic sounds (over 40) than Latin. The alphabet was too small,
and so combinations of letters were needed to (63)______ the different sounds. Inevitably, there
were inconsistencies in the way that letters were combined.
With the Norman invasion of England, the English language was put (64)______ risk.
English survived, but the spelling of many English words changed to follow French pattern , and
many French words were (65)_____ into the language. The result was more irregularity.
When the printing press was invented in the fifteenth century, many early printers of English
texts spoke other first languages. They (66)______ little effort to respect English spelling. Although
one of the short-term (67)_______ of printing was to produce a number of variant spellings, in the
long term it created fixed spelling. People became used to seeing words spelt in the same way.
Rules were (68)______ , and dictionaries were put together which printers and writers could refer
to. However, spoken English was not fixed and continued to change slowly – just as it still does
now. Let-ters that were sounded in the Anglo-Saxon period, like the ‘k’ in ‘knife’, now became
(69)_____. Also, the pronunciation of vowels then had little in (70)_____ with how they sound
now, but the way they are spelt hasn’t changed. No wonder, then, that it is often difficult to see the
link between sound and spelling. 61. A.times B.centuries C.ages D.years 62. A.wider B.longer C.thicker D.deeper 63. A.explain B.tell C.perform D.express 64. A.in B.at C.on D.under 65.

Psychologists have long been interested in (81)____ we judge intelligence in strangers. Now
