SECTION III: READING (6.0 POINTS)
Part 1: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions. (2 points-0.2/each)
Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helped to preserve it, and that the
easiest way to do this was to expose the food to sun and wind. In this way the North American Indians
produced pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians made stockfish
and the Arabs dried dates and apricots.
All foods contain water - cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water, potatoes and
other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish anything from 80% to 60% depending on how fatty it is. If
this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is checked.
Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in California,
South Africa and Australia. The methods used vary, but in general the fruit is spread out on trays in drying
yards in the hot sun. In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and apricots are exposed to the fumes of
burning sulphur before drying. Plums for making prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and
currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax
coating, so increasing the rate of drying.
Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically; the conventional method of such dehydration is to put food
in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110°C at entry to about 45°C at exit. This
is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish.
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated horizontal
steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. In the first case,
the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still
relatively coarse flakes. In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Where
recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do
not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to climbers, explorers and
soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them. Page 4 of 8
61. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Advantages of dried foods.
B. Water: the main component of food.
C. Mechanization of drying foods.
D. Different methods of drying foods.

A. expose foods to sun and wind
B. remove moisture from foods C. produce pemmican D. moisten foods
63. The word “checked” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. reduced considerably B. put a tick C. examined carefully
D. motivated to develop
64. In the process of drying certain kinds of fruits, sulphur fumes help ______.
A. remove their wax coating B. kill off bacteria
C. maintain their color D. crack their skin
65. Nowadays the common method for drying vegetables and minced meat is ______.
A. spreading them out on trays in drying yards
B. dipping them in an alkaline solution
C. putting them in chambers and blowing hot air through
D. pouring them over a heated horizontal steel cylinder
66. What does the word “which” in the fourth paragraph refer to? A. Vegetables B. Foods C. Things D. Chambers
67. The final product of the process of drying liquids that uses the first method will be ______. A. small flakes B. fine powder C. dried soup D. recognizable pieces

A. Liquids are not dried in the same way as fruits and vegetables.

Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the tides. No
other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves created by the wind are surface
movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface. The currents also seldom involve more
than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive sweep.
The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun. In
theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of the universe. In
reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun.
Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high
tide is correspondingly later each day. And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height
of the tide varies. The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full.
These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides. At
these times the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added
together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a
high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon and Earth lie
at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal
movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month.
66. What is the main point of the first paragraph?
A. The waves created by ocean currents are very large.
B. Despite the strength of the wind, it only moves surface water.

effect one object in space has on the tides is A. size B. distane C. temperature D. density
70. The word "correspondingly" in line 11 is closest in meaning to A. unpredictably B. interestingly C. similarly D. unusually
71. What is the cause of spring tides?
A. Seasonal changes in the weather Page 11 of 8
B. The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon when nearly in line with the Earth
C. The Earth's movement around the Sun
D. The triangular arrangement of the Earth, Sun, and Moon
72. The word "configuration" in line 18 is closest in meaning to A. unit B. cente C. surface D. arrangement

Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that
convert hydrogen to helium. The Sun has existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred million
years and is thousands of times larger than the Earth. By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the
rest of the Sun’s life will be like. About five billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and
become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of
thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the
distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures
on the Earth will become too high for life to exist. Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red
giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The
Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red
giant to a white dwarf. After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will
have lost its heat. Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will
be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the Earth’s surface.
66. It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun ______.
A. is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf
B. will continue to be a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years
C. has been in existence for 10 billion years
D. is rapidly changing in size and brightness
67. What will probably be the first stage of change for the Sun to become a red giant?
A. Its surface will become hotter and shrink.
B. It will throw off huge amounts of gases.
C. Its central part will grow smaller and hotter.
D. Its core will cool off and use less fuel.
68. When the Sun becomes a red giant, what will the atmosphere be like on the Earth?
A. It will be enveloped in the expanding surface of the sun.
B. It will become too hot for life to exist.
C. It will be almost destroyed by nova explosions.
D. It will freeze and become solid.
69. When the Sun has used up its energy as a red giant, it will ______. A. get frozen B. cease to exist C. stop to expand D. become smaller
70. Large amounts of gases may be released from the Sun at the end of its life as a ______. A. black dwarf B. white dwarf C. red giant D. yellow dwarf
71. As a white dwarf, the Sun will be ______.
A. the same size as the planet Mercury
B. around 35 million miles in diameter
C. a cool and habitable planet
D. thousands of times smaller than it is today
72. The Sun will become a black dwarf when ______.
A. the Sun moves nearer to the Earth
B. it has used up all its fuel as a white dwarf
C. the core of the Sun becomes hotter
D. the outer regions of the Sun expand
73. The word “there” in the last sentence of paragraph 4 refers to ______. A. the planet Mercury
B. the core of a black dwarf C. our own planet
D. the outer surface of the Sun
74. This passage is intended to ______. Page 18 of 8
A. describe the changes that the Sun will go through
B. present a theory about red giant stars
C. alert people to the dangers posed by the Sun
D. discuss conditions on the Earth in the far future
75. The passage has probably been taken from ______.
A. a scientific journal B. a news report
C. a work of science fiction D. a scientific chronicle
Part 3: Questions 76 – 85. (2.0 points- 0.2/ each)
Read the text and think of the word which best fits each gap.
People have been playing (76) …………….……. marbles for thousands of years. The first marbles were
probably (77) …………….……. river stones that happened to be naturally round enough to roll or, more likely,
rounded globs of clay that were baked hardness. (78) …………….……. very old clay marbles have been found in
both Greek and Roman ruins, and quartz spheres have been dated at around 6000 B.C. Harder and (79)
…………….……. durable marbles tend to inspire different kinds of games than soft clay marbles, which crack very
easily. So (80) …………….……. the advent of hand rounded and polished marbles made of agate or some other
rugged, igneous rock, the ‘golden age’ of marbles and (81) …………….……. play flowered. Stone marbles began to
appear in the early 1800s in what is now the southern part of Germany. Shortly after, handmade glass marbles

literally hundreds of games - flourished in both Europe and America. Marble players developed their (83)
…………….……. vocabulary for different sizes and materials of marbles, as well as for the many kinds of games to
be played and the way marbles were (84) …………….……. in the games. For example, if you were going to play a

Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question.
The air above our head is becoming cleaner. A breath of fresh air has been running right round the
planet for the past five years. The planet is apparently purging itself of pollution. Paul Novell of the
University of Colorado, the co-author of a report on this phenomenon says, “It seems as if the planet’s own
cleansing service has suddenly got a new lease of life. Suddenly, there are a lot of changes going on up there.”
Estimates of the death toll from urban smog have been steadily rising, so the new cleaner trend could have
significant consequences for life expectancy in cities as well as for the planet itself. The sudden and
unexpected reversal of several decades of worsening pollution extends from the air in city streets to the
remotest mid-Pacific Ocean and Antarctica. Among the pollutants which have begun to disappear from the
atmosphere are carbon monoxide, from car exhausts and burning rain forests, and methane from the guts of
cattle, paddy fields, and gas fields. Even carbon dioxide, the main gas behind global warming, has fallen
slightly. There are two theories about why pollution is disappearing. First, that there is less pollution to start
with due to laws to cut down urban smog and acid rain starting to have a global impact. Second, that the planet
may be becoming more efficient at cleaning up. The main planetary clean-up agent is a chemical called
hydroxyl. It is present throughout the atmosphere in tiny quantities and removes most pollutants from the air
by oxidizing them. The amount of hydroxyl in the air had fallen by a quarter in the 1980s. Now, it may be
reviving for two reasons: ironically, because the ozone hole has expanded, letting in more ultraviolet radiation
into the lower atmosphere, where it manufactures hydroxyl. Then the stricter controls on vehicle exhausts in
America and Europe may have cut global carbon monoxide emissions, thereby allowing more hydroxyl to clean up other pollutants.
66. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The decreasing pollution of the atmosphere.
B. The changing pollutants in the atmosphere.
C. Hydroxyl’s influence on the atmosphere.
D. The oxygenation of the atmosphere.
67. The word “purging” is closest in meaning to _______. Page 23 of 8 A. destroying B. ridding C. filtering D. refining

A. access to details about atmospheric pollution.
B. recommendations from university research
C. improvement in atmospheric conditions
D. changes in their lifestyle
69. The word “toll” could best be replaced by________. A. count B. costs C. damage D. loss
70. What does the author suggest is the main cause of pollution reduction?
A. Less impact from burning forests
B. A smaller number of cars
C. A curtailment of chemicals
D. Fewer cattle and gas fields
71. The word “it” refers to ________. A. urban smog B. a clean-up agent C. acid rain D. the ozone hole
72. It can be inferred from the passage that the new cleaner trend is _______. A. predictable B. confusing C. surprising D. inexplicable
73. Based on information in the passage, all of the following information referring to hydroxyl is true EXCEPT.

SECTION III: READING (6.0 POINTS)
Part 1. Questions from 56 to 65 (2 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question.
Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to
our climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For
example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods.
These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually
and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of
natural causes, but of human activity. Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid.
The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this
warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. The
implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological
disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts. These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture.
It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse gases,
such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for
example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by
which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet.
Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject,
attended by representatives from around 180 of the world's industrialized countries. Of these summits, the
most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997. There it was agreed that the most industrialized Page 35 of 8
countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions.
It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb greenhouse
gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation.
Sadly, the targets are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes are often
still being regarded as scaremongering.
56.According to the passage, in what way did the climate changes in the ice ages differ from the modern ones?
A. They occurred naturally over a long period of time.
B. They were fully monitored by humans.
C. They were wholly the result of human activity.
D. They were partly intended.
57. The word “al
armingl y ” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A. disapprovingly B. worryingly C. surprisingly D. disappointingly
58. According to the passage, agriculture could .
A. give rise to many ecological disasters
B.make the global warming more serious
C. be indirectly affectedby the global temperature rises
D. be directly damaged by the risesinglobal temperature
59. Greenhouse gases cause the warming up of the Earth because they .
A. are emitted by car engines B. trap heat fromthe sun
C. do not add to atmosphere pollution D. are unusual gases
60. According to the passage, 1997 witnessed .
A. the largest number ofsummits on the subject ofclimate change
B. the highest attendance by representatives from 180 industrialised countries
C. the most important summit on climate changetaking place in Kyoto, Japan
D. widespread concern about climate change
61.It can be inferred from the passage that the countries which are mainlyresponsibleforglobal warmingare
A. developed countries B. the most industrialised countries
C. countries with the warmest climate D. developing countries
62. The word “There” in paragraph 5 refers to .
A. regular summits on climate change B. the 1997 summit in Kyoto, Japan
C. the world’s industrialised countries D. themost industrialisedcountries
63.Which of the followingis NOT true, according to the passage?
A. The so-called sinks created by forests can absorb greenhouse gases.
B. Politicians are among those who areconcerned about climate change.
C. The problemof rapid climate change has been caused mainly by deforestation.
D. Carbon dioxide is one of the gases thatmay cause the so-called greenhouse effect.
64. The word “d rasti c ” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to . A. severe
B. hard C. obvious D. widespread
65.What is probably the writer’s attitude toward global warming? Page 36 of 8
A. Optimistic B. Neutral C. Positive D. Pessimistic
Part 2. Questions from 66 to 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)

X. Exercise 2: Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question. (10 points) WITCH DOCTORING
Many early ideas about the causes and cures of illness seem ridiculous to us today. Yet in some
respects the medicine man of uncivilized tribes used the method for curing sick persons which are known to have had real value.
In early time when people became ill, they turned for help to the medicine man of the tribe. It was
generally believed that sickness was caused by evil spirits, and it was the medicine man’s task to drive these
bad spirits out of the sick man. To do this, he would try to frighten them away by making loud noise and
wearing frightening masks. Usually he would chant magic words, sing special songs, and performed special
dances. Nearly always he used a particular kind of plant which was supposed to be a remedy for a particular sickness.
Some of these cures used by the medicine men did help. The plants which these early doctors used
were frequently drugs now understood to be medicinal or pain- relieving. The respect and confidence which

Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question.
Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburbs. But people in the Australian outback can’t get
to a doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on a
two-way radio. This special doctor is called the “flying doctor’. He visits sick people by plane for a special examination.
When someone is sick, the doctor has to fly to the person’s home. His plane lands on a flat piece of
ground near the person’s house. Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital. Flying doctors take
about 8,600 people to hospital each year.
However, most of the time the person isn’t very sick, and the doctor doesn’t have to visit. He can give
advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center. He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a
special medicine chest. There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube and packet in
the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this, “Take two tablets from bottle number 5 every four hours.”
A man called John Flynn started the Royal Flying Doctor service in 1927. He had only one plane. Today
there are 14 flying-doctor centers, 29 planes, 14 fulltime doctors and several part-time doctors, nurses and dentists.
66. The flying doctors mentioned in this article treat their patients _______. A. in clinics B. by old methods C. by telepathy D. over great distances 67. Which happens first?
A. The doctor flies to the sick person’s home.
B. The sick person or his family calls the doctor on a two-way radio.
C. The plane lands near the patient’s house.
D. The doctor treats the sick person on a two-way radio.

PART 2: . Questions 66 to 75 ( 2.0 points- 0.2/ each)
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer.
In 17th century colonial North America, all day-to-day cooking was done in the fireplace. General
large, fireplaces were planned for cooking as well as for warmth. Those in the Northeast were usually four or
five feet high, and in the South, they were often high enough for a person to walk into. A heavy timber called
the mantel tree was used as a lintel to support the stonework above the fireplace opening. This timber might be
scorched occasionally but it was far enough in front of the rising column of heat to be safe from catching fire.
Two ledges were built across from each other on the inside of the chimney. On these rested the ends of
a “lug pole” from which pots were suspended when cooking. Wood from a freshly cut tree was used for the Page 55 of 8
lug pole, so it would resist heat, but it had to be replaced frequently because it dried out and charred, and was
thus weakened. Sometimes the pole broke and the dinner fell into the fire. When iron became easier to obtain,
it was used instead of wood for lug poles, and later fireplaces had pivoting metal rods to hang pots from.
Beside the fireplace and built as part of it was the oven. It was made like a small, secondary fireplace
with a flue leading into the main chimney to draw out smoke. Sometimes the door of the oven faced the room,
but most ovens were built with the opening facing into the fireplace. On baking days (usually once or twice a
week) a roaring fire of “oven wood”, consisting of brown maple sticks, was maintained in the oven until its
walls were extremely hot. The embers were later removed, bread dough was put into the oven, and the oven
was sealed shut until the bread was fully baked.
Not all baking was done in a big oven, however. Also used was an iron “bake kettle”, which looked
like a stewpot on legs and which had an iron lid. This is said to have worked well when it was placed in the
fireplace, surrounded by glowing wood embers, with more embers piled on its lid.
66.Which of the following aspects of domestic life in colonial North America does the passage mainly discuss? A Methods of baking bread
C The use of iron kettles in a typical kitchen B Fireplace cooking
D The types of wood used in preparing meals
67.The author mentions the fireplaces built in the South to illustrate
A how the materials used were similar to the materials used in northeastern fireplaces
B that they served diverse functions.
C that they were usually larger than northeastern fireplaces.
D how they were safer than northeastern fireplaces.
68.The word “schorched” is closest in meaning to A burned B cut C enlarged D bent
69. The word “it” refers to A the stonework C the mantel tree B the fireplace opening D the rising column of heat
70.According to the passage, how was food usually cooked in a pot in the 17th century?
A By placing the pot directly into the fire.C By filling the pot with hot water.
B By putting the pot in the oven.
D By hanging the pot on a pole over the fire.
71.The word “obtain” is closest in meaning to A maintain B reinforce C manufacture D acquire
72.Which of the following is metioned in paragraph 2 as a disadvantage of using a wooden lug pole?
A It was made of wood not readily available. C It occasionally broke.
B It was difficult to move or rotate. D It became too hot to touch.
73.It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that, compared to other firewood, “oven wood” produced A less smoke B more heat C fewer embers D lower flame

A It was used to heat the kitchen everyday.
B It was built as part of the main fireplace.
C The smoke it generated went out through the main chimney.
D It was heated with maple sticks.
75.According to the passage, which of the following was an advantage of a “ bake kettle”?
A It did not take up a lot of space in the fireplace.
B It did not need to be tightly closed.
C It could be used in addition to or instead of the oven.
