Questions 6-10: Read the following passage and then circle the best answer Snake Lovers Around the world there are men and women who make their living in unusual ways. Most of us would not do such jobs for a day, let alone pursue them as a lifelong career. However, the lifespan of these people may not be that long. They spend their days working with snakes. Boonreung Bauchan is listed in the book of Guinness World Records for his feat of spending seven days in a pen filled with snakes. This Thai snake charmer performed with his pet snakes to earn money to support his family. During his performances, he danced with snakes, held them around his body, and even kissed them. One day, a cobra kissed him back. He died before he reached the hospital. Although he left behind several boxes of pet snakes, no one in his family was bold enough to touch them. Instead of carrying on with the snake shows, they decided to donate the snakes to the zoo. In Australia, John Cann carries on his familys tradition of reptile shows. His parents started their snake circus in 1919. Cann's mother was called Cleopatra after the queen of Egypt who was lethally bitten by a snake. Both parents survived their profession and retired in good health. Their son has made good use of his lifelong experience with snakes. He now advises the Australia Museum on reptiles and has written several books on snakes and turtles. His goal is not only to entertain, but also to educate his audience on the value of these reptiles and their important role in the environment. In India, Romulus Whitaker doesnt charm snakes or entertain his audience, but he is an active educator and environmentalist. He caught his first snake when he was just three. Now he is the director of the Madras Crocodile Bank and advises major international organizations on protecting the habitat of reptiles. Whitaker may be in need of protection himself. He has been bitten three times, but he doesnt blame the snakes. He says hes more afraid of people than of snakes. 6. What is this passage mainly about? A. Snake shows B. The dangers of snakes C. Snakes in different countries D. People working with snakes and other reptiles
7. What happened after Boonreung Bauchan died from a cobra bite? A. The cobra was killed B. People bought his pet snakes. C. His family gave his snakes away. D. His family continued giving snake shows. 8. Who is Romulus Whitaker? A. An entertainer C. A crocodile trainer A. They enjoy playing with snakes. C. They are not wealthy. 10. What does shows mean in paragraph 2? A. explains C. presents B. performances D. give evidence of having or being B. A snake charmer D. An environmentalist B. They are environmentalists. D. They like cobras.

Jeanne Dixon Jeanne Dixon began making predictions when she was a little girl. She had a crystal ball that she used to look into the future. She correctly predicted several events, including the death of her grandfather. She also learned to use astrology. When she was just eight years old, a palm reader told her fortune. The palm reader said that Jeanne would become famous for her unique ability to predict the future. Dixon made many predictions about the future throughout her life, but the one that brought her the most fame was her prediction of the assassination of President Kennedy. In 1952, she had a vision. She saw a man with blue eyes living in the White House. He was going to die a violent death. Eight years later, John Kennedy, a man with blue eyes, became president of the United States. On November 22nd, 1963, Jeanne told her friends, Something terrible is going to happen today. Then, they heard an announcement. President Kennedy had been shot. Another of Dixons major predictions was the death of President Kennedys brother Robert. One day, she was walking through a hotel in Los Angeles. Suddenly, she stopped and said, Robert Kennedy is going to be killed here. Soon after that, in June 1968, Robert Kennedy was shot in that exact place. Dixon accurately predicted the deaths of several other celebrities. She also predicted other kinds of events, for example, a big earthquake in Alaska in 1964. She made a number of wrong predictions as well, but people dont seem to remember as many of these. Dixon didnt keep any fees she earned from making predictions. She donated all the money to a charity that supported educational and health projects for children. She was a vegetarian and often prepared healthy food for elderly people. She also liked to help animals and took care of many lost cats and dogs. Jeanne Dixon died in 1997, but she left behind several predictions which could still come true. One of them is that intelligent life will be discovered on another planet. 6. What is this passage mainly about? A. Using astrology B. A famous palm reader C. Assassinations of famous people D.

Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D Wong Tai Sin Temple Wong Tai Sin Temple, with its colorful architecture and peaceful gardens, sits among the highrise buildings of Hong Kong. It is one of the more popular places to visit in the city. It is especially known for the fortune-tellers that work there. People visit the temple to honor Wong Tai Sin, a shepherd who lived hundreds of years ago. According to legend, at the age of fifteen he learned the secret of making a medicine that could cure all illnesses. He lived alone for forty years while he worked to perfect this magic medicine. Nowadays, visitors to the temple bring flowers and incense as offerings for Wong Tai Sin. They pray for good health and for good luck in business. Most of all, they pray for guidance for the future. This is because Wong Tai Sin was known not only for his ability to cure illnesses, but also for his skill at correctly predicting the future. The temple has the largest concentration of fortune-tellers in Asia. There can be as many as 150 fortune-tellers working there at any one time. The most common fortune-telling method at the temple is the use of fortune sticks, called chim. Each chim has a number on it. You shake a container of sticks until one falls out. Then, you take the stick to a fortune- teller, who will interpret it for you. If you want to try something different, there are other fortune-telling methods to choose from. For a small fee, a fortune-teller will read your face or palm, consult the ancient book, the I Ching, or use astrology to predict your future. Wong Tai Sin Temple is known for its brightly colored buildings decorated with beautiful paintings and intricate carvings. It also contains the Good Wish Garden with a stream, waterfall, and ponds. If you want to know your future, or just want to enjoy a few moments of the present in a beautiful spot, visit Wong Tai Sin Temple. 6. What is this passage mainly about? A. An ancient shepherd B.

Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D Tea Leaves The art of predicting the future with tea leaves has been practiced in both Asia and Europe for centuries. Its not hard to try doing it yourself. First, brew yourself a cup of tea. You can use any kind of loose tea, but its best to drink it from a wide, white cup. This makes it easy to see the leaves. Relax and enjoy your tea. Drink it all, but leave a spoonful at the bottom of the cup. Now pick up the cup and move it three times from right to left. Turn it upside down over a saucer to let the liquid drain out. Turn it right side up again, and now you are ready to read the leaves. When you interpret the leaves, pay attention to their position in the cup. Leaves near the top represent the near future, while leaves near the bottom represent the distant future. Leaves near the cups handle represent yourself or your home. The images in the leaves arent always distinct, but if you look carefully, some pictures will appear. Both birds and airplanes mean that you will make a journey. Birds also represent good luck. A cross or a snake, on the other hand, means that bad luck will come your way.

PART 2: Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D Pompeii The ancient Roman town of Pompeii sat at the foot of the giant volcano Vesuvius in southern Italy. The town and the volcano had lived peacefully side by side for years. Pompeiis citizens lived a good life. Their town was a wealthy port and a popular resort. Many rich Romans had their vacation homes there. The theaters, shops, and temples were filled with activity. All this ended on August 24th in the year 79 A.D. At about noon on August 24th, a great cloud of ash and rocks spewed out of the top of Vesuvius, ascending 20 kilometers into the air. The ash and rocks began to rain down on the citizens of Pompeii and other nearby towns. Soon, the roofs of Pompeii were covered with a layer of volcanic material that was about three meters thick. Buildings started collapsing under the heavy weight. By this time, people had already started escaping from the town. Taking what possessions they could and calling fearfully to their loved ones to join them, they escaped to the countryside, as far from the town as they could go. By evening, most of the residents had left Pompeii. But Vesuvius hadnt finished yet. All night long, it continued to spew rock and ash high into the air. The next morning, steaming lava poured out of the volcano and rolled down its sides toward Pompeii. The lava buried the town in a layer so deep that only the tops of the very tallest buildings could be seen. Later, some people returned to the town to try to dig their possessions out of the hardened lava, but of course no one could live there any more. The buried town lay abandoned for hundreds of years. In 1748, the long-forgotten town was rediscovered. Since then, a number of excavations have been made uncovering a great deal of information about ancient Roman life. Architecture, art, and other examples of Roman culture were all perfectly preserved by the lava. Excavators have also uncovered the bodies of about 2,000 Pompeii citizens who, unable to escape the rushing wave of lava, became frozen in it forever. 6. What is this passage mainly about? A. The ancient Roman Empire B. The last days of Pompeii C. The volcanoes of Rome D. The excavation of an ancient town 7. At about what time of day did Vesuvius begin to erupt? A. Early in the morning B. 12:00 noon C. Late in the afternoon D. At night 8. What happened in 1748? A. Pompeii was rediscovered. B. Vesuvius erupted again. C. A museum of Roman art was opened D. Pompeiis citizens returned to their homes. 9. What is true about Pompeii? A. Most of the citizens were poor. B. It was a boring place to visit. C. Very few people lived there. D. It was on the coast. 10. What does sat mean in paragraph 1? A. was on a chair B. was in a place 36

Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D The Great Molasses Flood Molasses, a sweet syrup made from sugarcane, is used in baking. Theres an old saying as slow as molasses in January because cold molasses becomes very thick and doesnt pour easily. This was proven to be an inaccurate description in January of 1919, when a giant wave of molasses rushed through the streets of Boston at a speed of almost 60 kilometers an hour. It caused a disaster that could have been avoided. It was brought about by the stupidity of one man. A Boston company built a huge molasses storage tank. The tank was over 1 6 meters tall and 30 meters wide. When it was finished, no one tested the tank to see if it leaked. Millions of liters of the sticky, sweet liquid were added to the tank. It did leak. Rather than fix the leaks, the man in charge painted the tank brown, the color of molasses, so the leaks were not so evident. Just after noon on January 15th, people in the area heard a loud cracking noise followed by a muffled roar. The leaking storage tank had exploded, sending a ten-meter-high wave of molasses flowing through the nearby streets. It wrecked everything in its path -peoples homes, warehouses, even part of the local train line. It tossed wagons, horses, and furniture into the air. Several people and animals were drowned by the swiftly moving wave of syrup. All in all, 21 people, 12 horses, and one cat were killed, and 150 people were injured. The molasses was almost a meter deep in the streets around the storage tank. Rescue work was nearly impossible because rescuers couldnt walk through the sticky stuff. It sucked the shoes right off their feet. Molasses filled the cellars of neighborhood houses, and it took months to pump it out. The streets and buildings had to be washed with salt water because fresh water couldnt remove the stuff. As a result of the flood and ensuing clean up, Boston Harbor was dark brown for six months. To this day, some people claim that on a hot day they can still smell molasses in the neighborhood. 6. What is this passage mainly about? A. A disaster in Boston B. Clean up of Boston Harbor C. Different ways to use molasses D. The history of a molasses company 7. Why did the man paint the storage tank brown? A. Brown was his favorite color. B. He had many extra liters of brown paint. C. He didnt want to fix the leaks in the tank. D. A paint company gave him free brown paint. 8.. How fast did the wave of molasses move? A. Ten meters an hour B. Sixteen meters an hour C. Sixteen kilometers an hour D. Sixty kilometers an hour 9. What was the muffled roar? A. The angry shouts of neighborhood residents B. The noise of a train stuck in the molasses C. The screams of frightened people D. The sound of rushing molasses 10. What does stuff mean in paragraph 4? A. possessions B. fill 44

Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D Chinese White Dolphins When one thinks of the colorful creatures of the sea, dolphins are not usually the first to come to mind. Though they are born dark gray like other dolphins, Chinese white dolphins become pink by the time they reach maturity. There are a number of theories about why they change color over time. Some biologists believe it is because the dolphins eat shellfish. Others say it is their blood showing through their skin, similar to humans when we blush. Their rarity has led Chinese white dolphins to become both a tourist attraction and an endangered species. Despite the damage that has been done to the western waters of Hong Kong, they are still the preferred habitat of the Chinese white dolphin. The construction of Hong Kongs Chep Lap Kok Airport in the late 1990s caused a great deal of stress for the local dolphins. Their population dropped from a mere 400 or so to less than 100. While the airport was under construction, boat traffic increased, the water became polluted, and the noise disrupted the dolphins ability to navigate and communicate. Most of the baby dolphins that were born during the construction of this airport did not survive. Since so few of these dolphins reach the age of reproduction, the species is in danger of extinction. People come from near and far to watch the playful behavior of these rare dolphins, which perform like acrobats in their natural environment. In a move known as breeching, a dolphin jumps right out of the water, flopping back in with a gigantic splash. Though they appear to be playing, dolphins may breech in order to scare off predators, or simply to scratch an itch. Tourists also love to spot Chinese white dolphins that are spy hopping. With this trick, dolphins come halfway out of the water in order to snoop around. The curiosity of humans and dolphins combined, however, creates various dangers for these rare animals. Humans in their boats get too close to the dolphins. Many dolphins are injured or killed by fishing gear and boat engines. 6. What is this passage mainly about? A. Dolphin tricks B. Colors of dolphins C. Dangers for dolphins D. A rare and interesting dolphin 7. Why are Chinese white dolphins pink? A. They eat shellfish. B. They blush. C. Their blood is very bright. D. Nobody knows for sure. 8. What was a result of construction in the waters near Hong Kong? A. The dolphins had difficulty communicating. B. The dolphins disrupted work on the airport. C. The dolphins found another place to live. D. The dolphins stopped having babies 9. Why might dolphins sometimes get close to tourists? A. The dolphins are hungry. B. The dolphins are curious. C. The dolphins want to be scratched. D. The dolphins like the sound of boat engines. 10. What does dropped mean paragraph 2?

Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D The Dating Supermarket
59
Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France's capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as "supermarket dating". At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list. At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 an 9:30 P.M. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advertise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles. With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line that is especially for singles who want to chat. Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is too easy to embellish one's appearance or to lie about one's age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in another's grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person's character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man's way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it's possible to find much more than food at a grocery store. 6. What is this passage mainly about? A. Grocery shopping B. The best stores in Paris C. A place to meet potential dates D. The disadvantages to Internet dating 7. What is Galerie Lafayette Gourmet? A. A Singles club B. A beauty salon C. A grocery store D. A dating service 8. What do shoppers at Galerie Lafayette Gourmet use purple baskets to do? A. To show that they want a date B. To hold a lot of groceries C. To look fashionable D. To get a discount 9. According to the passage, why do people look for love in the supermarket? A. Because all the shoppers are good - looking B. Because dating services are too expensive C. Because it's safer than Internet dating D. Because it's very convenient 10. What does turn mean in paragraph 2? A. bend B. change 60

Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D David Beckham 68
Soccer fans are crazy about their favorite teams. They are even wilder about their favorite players. One of the most popular soccer players in the world is David Beckham. He is so famous that even people who dont follow soccer know his name. Beckham became a celebrity because he is one of a kind. He has talent, passion, and a distinct image that people cant get enough of. David Beckham has always had a passion for soccer (or football, as it is known in his country, England). As a boy, he dreamed about playing for Manchester United. In 1991, his wish came true when he qualified for Uniteds junior team. Beckhams team won the Football Association Youth Cup in his first season. The next year, when he was only 18 years old, he became a professional player. By outshining the other players on his team, Beckham landed the role of team captain. Fans and teammates were amazed by how well he took penalty kicks and how far he could kick the ball. Scoring a goal from the halfway line proved that he deserved to be the highest-paid soccer player in the world. Changing teams from Manchester United to Real Madrid only heightened Beckhams popularity. One of the reasons people love David Beckham is because he is not afraid to show his true self. Appearing in public in a sarong or with painted nails does not seem to faze him. While many celebrities try to hide from the media, Beckham loves to experiment with fashion in the public eye. His hair and fashion styles have set trends all over the world. After the 2002 World Cup, there were blond Mohawks throughout Korea. When Beckham shaved off half of an eyebrow, many young people did the same thing. In Japan, one company made a three-meterhigh chocolate statue of Beckham and convinced him to be their spokesperson. There are other sides to Beckhams personality, too. Many fans love the fact that he is also a dedicated father: he and his wife, Victoria, have three children. 6. What is this passage mainly about? A. David Beckhams family B. David Beckhams fashion styles C. Manchester United D. A popular soccer player 7. What did Beckham do in 1991? A. He started playing for Manchester Uniteds junior team. B. He became a professional soccer player. C. He joined the Real Madrid team. D. He became team captain. 8. How has Beckham experimented with fashion? A. He painted his nails. B. He shaved off half an eyebrow. C. He wore a blond Mohawk. D. All of the above 9. What is probably true about David Beckham? A. Hes very shy. B. He never has fun. C. He enjoys attention. D. Hes a follower, not a leader. 10. What does follow mean in paragraph 1? 69
A. walk behind C. be a fan of B. understand D. chase

Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D Where Did Soccer Originate? There is great debate over when the first soccer game was played. Many historians believe that the first games involving kicking a ball were played by Chinese soldiers during the Han 76
Dynasty over 2,000 years ago. A similar game was played in Japan, Greece, and Rome. In some cultures, the ball symbolized the sun. The purpose of the game was to capture the sun and ensure a good growing season. In medieval times, the European version only remotely resembled the game of soccer that exists today. It was much more violent in nature, and involved two teams, each one as large as an entire town or community. Historical records show that soccer was sometimes even played with a human head. Tripping and biting were also allowed. Before the 1800s, the game was outlawed throughout much of England. The penalty for playing soccer was time in jail. In the 1800s, students in Englands colleges and universities became obsessed with the game once again. This time, rules were established to keep control over the violence and the size of the teams. However, every school had its own rules, which made it hard for them to compete against each other. The Football Association was established in 1863 in order to set down rules and govern the matches between the different teams. Six years later, the game officially became a no hands sport. The sport also gained popularity in the British navy. Sailors brought their soccer balls on board and played the game in their free time. Young people around the world showed up to watch the sailors play and then went home and organized their own teams. By the twentieth century, the whole world was playing soccer. In 1908, soccer became an Olympic sport. This helped make soccer the most popular spectator sport in the world. The first World Cup was held in 1930 in South America. Every four years, the top professionals compete to bring home the World Cup trophy. 6. What is this passage mainly about? A. Soccer in the British navy C. The history of soccer 7. What was soccer like in medieval Europe? A. It was very similar to modern soccer. C. It was a very violent game. 8. Where was the first World Cup held? A. Europe C. Greece 9. When was the no hands rule established? A. By the British universities in 1863 C. By the Olympic Committee in 1908 10. What does top mean in paragraph 4? A. best C. do better than B. cover D. upper surface 77 B. By the Football Association in 1869 D. By the World Cup in 1930 B. South America D. China B. It was a game for soldiers. D. It was played only in jails. B. Ancient soccer games D. The rules of soccer
