V. READING COMPREHENSION (10 PTS): Read the texts below and choose the best answer to each question. PASSAGE A:
Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual
not to use one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that
the phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals
worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from
the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone
companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that
mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who
use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern
scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious
memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son.
This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for
a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech
machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies
agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones
less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only
when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies.
In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for
now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
61. According to the passage, cellphones are especially popular with young people because _________.
A. they make them look more stylish
B. they keep the users confident all the time
C. they cannot be replaced by regular phones
D. they are indispensable in everyday communications
62. "Negative publicity" in the passage most likely means _________.
A. widespread opinion about bad effects of cellphones
B. information on the effects of cellphones
C. the negative public use of cellphones
D. poor ideas about the effects of cellphones
63. Doctors have tentatively concluded that cellphones may _________.
A. cause some mental malfunction
B. change their users’ temperament
C. change their users’ social behaviours
D. damage their users’ emotions
64. According to the writer, people should _________.
A. keep off mobile phones regularly
B. never use mobile phones in all cases
C. only use mobile phones in medical emergencies
D. only use mobile phones in urgent cases
65. What is NOT TRUE according to the passage?.
A. Mobile phones are very convenient.
B. People may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones
C. Using mobile phones so often is good for people’s health. Page 5 of 10
D. Cell phones are very popular nowadays. ANSWER: 61A 62A 63A 64D 65C PASSAGE B:
Diving deep into the ocean is difficult for humans, although whales do it easily. The deepest a
human has dived into the ocean without scuba gear is to 450 feet below the surface, which required him
to hold his breath for about two minutes. Humans are unable to go much deeper because at a certain
point the external pressure becomes so great it crushes the ribcage and lungs. Furthermore, lack of
oxygen also prevents humans from staying under water for long periods. It is amazing, then, that whales
can dive to depths of up to 10,000 feet and remain there for as long as two hours. Several adaptations
enable the whale to do this, among them the construction of its ribcage. Unlike humans, whales have
fewer “true” ribs, ribs joined directly to the breastbone, and more “floating” ribs, which are attached
only to the preceding rib by cartilage. This flexible design allows the whale’s ribcage to fold under
pressure instead of breaking, and for its lungs to collapse without rupturing capillaries. Also, during a
dive, the whale’s heart slows to as low as 3 to 5 beats a minute. Arteries constrict, reducing blood flow
to many of the whale’s less vital organs, thus conserving oxygen and maintaining blood pressure in the
brain and heart. Humans emerging too suddenly from dives can suffer from “the bends,” when small
bubbles of nitrogen gas form in body fluids and obstruct blood flow, leading to death. Because whales
collapse their lungs, air is pushed from the lungs into the windpipe, which is lined with thick
membranes, making it difficult for nitrogen bubbles to pass into the bloodstream or other tissues.
Together, these and other adaptations enable whales to dive to such depths.
66. What are “floating” ribs?
A. Ribs that are not attached to other ribs.
B. Ribs that are not attached to the breastbone.
C. Ribs that are made of cartilage.
D. Ribs that are not able to fold under pressure.
67. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. to explain why whales can do something that humans cannot
B. to explain how humans and whales adapted
C. to explain what happens at great depths
D. to explain how the human respiratory system works
68. When a whale dives, what contributes to the conservation of oxygen? A. Blood pressure increases. B. Blood flow decreases. C. The lungs collapse. D. The ribcage folds.
69. Compared to whales, humans have ______. A. weaker capillaries
B. thicker membranes in the windpipe C. fewer floating ribs D. slower heartbeats
70. How does the whale’s ribcage differ from that of a human?
A. The whale’s ribcage contains fewer vital organs.
B. The whale’s ribcage can bend without breaking.
C. Whales have fewer ribs than humans.
D. The whale’s ribs are not attached to the breastbone. ANSWER: 66B 67A 68B 69C 70B PASSAGE C:
Most people think that lions only come from Africa. This is understandable because in fact most
lions do come from there but this has not always been the case. If we went back ten thousand years, we
would find that there were lions roaming vast sections of the globe. However now, unfortunately only a
very small section of the lion's former habitat remains.
Asiatic lions are sub-species of African lions. It is almost a hundred thousand years since the
Asiatic lions split off and developed as a sub-species. At one time the Asiatic lion was living as far west
as Greece and they were found from there, but in a band that spreads east through various countries of
the Middle East, all the way to India. In museums now, you can see Greek coins that have clear images Page 6 of 10
of the Asiatic lion on them. Most of them are dated at around 500 B.C. However, Europe saw its last
Asiatic lions roaming free two thousand years ago. Over the next nineteen hundred years the numbers of
Asiatic lions in the other areas declined steadily, but it was only in the nineteenth century that they
disappeared from everywhere but in India.
The Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in India was established especially to protect the Asiatic lion. There
are now around three hundred Asiatic lions in India and almost all of them are in this sanctuary.
However, despite living in a sanctuary, which makes them safe from hunters, they still face a number of
problems that threaten their survival. One of these is the ever-present danger of disease. This is what
killed more than a third ofAfrica’s Serengeti lions in 1994, and people are fearful that something similar
could happen in the Gir Sanctuary and kill off many of the Asiatic lions there.
India's lions are particularly vulnerable because they have a limited gene pool. The reason for
this is interesting - it is because all of them are descended from a few dozen lions that were saved by a
prince who took a particular interest in them. He was very healthy, and he managed to protect them;
otherwise they would probably have died out completely.
When you see the Asiatic lion in India, what you sense is enormous vitality. They are very
impressive animals and you would never guess that they have this vulnerability when you look at them.
71. According to the passage, many people believe that lions come from __________.
A. Europe B. Africa
C. Middle East D. India
72. Ten thousand years ago __________.
A. lions came mainly from Africa
B. lions did not live in small forests

B. made up C. set up D. taken up
74. According to the passage, nowadays we can find the Asiatic lion __________.
A. in Africa and India
B. only in Greek museums
C. nowhere in the world D. only in India
75. The word "vulnerable" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to __________. A. cautious B. weak
C. careless D. easily protected
76. The Asiatic lion __________.
A. was looking for food mainly in the Middle East
B. was searching for food in a wide range of countries
C. was searching for food mainly in India and Africa
D. was looking for food mainly in India
77. According to the author, the Gir Wildlife Sanctuary __________.

III. ERROR IDENTIFICATION (10 PTS)
There are ten mistakes in the following paragraph. Identify and correct them. Line 1
The hobby of collecting consist of acquiring specific items based on a particular interest Line 2
of the collector. These collections of things are often highly organized, carefully cataloged, Line 3
and attractively displayed. Since collecting depends with the interests of the individual Line 4
collector, it may deal with almost any subject. The depth and broad of the collection may Line 5
also vary. Some collectors choose to focus on a specific subtopic within their area of general Line 6
interest: for example, 19th Century postage stamp, milk bottle labels from Sussex, or Line 7
Mongolian harnesses and tack. Other prefer to keep a more general collection, accumulating Line 8
Star Trek merchandise, or stamps from all countries of the world. Some collections are Line 9
capable of being completed, at least to the extent of owning one sample of each possible Line 10
item in the collection. Collectors which specifically try to assemble complete collections in Line 11
this way are sometimes called “completist”. Upon completing a particular collection, they Line 12
may stop collecting, expanding the collection to include related items, or begin an entirely Line 13
new collection. The more popular fields in collecting have specialized commercial dealers Line 14
that trade in the items be collected, as well as related accessories. Many of these dealers Line 15
started as collectors ourselves, then turned their hobby into a profession. There are some Line 16
limitations on collecting, however. Someone who have the financial means to collect stamps Line 17
might not be able to collect sport cars, for example.
