My name's Mandi. Three months ago, I went to a disco where I met a boy

didn't matter. We danced a couple of times, then we chatted. He said he was
18, then asked how old I was. I told him I was 16. I thought that if I told him
my real age, he wouldn't want to know me, as I'm only 13.
After the disco we arranged to meet the following weekend. The next
Saturday we went for a burger and had a real laugh. Afterwards he walked
me to my street and kissed me goodnight. Things went really well. We see
each other a couple of times a week, but I've had to lie to my parents about
where I'm going and who with. I've always got on with them, but I know if
they found out how old Tom was they'd stop me seeing him.

time we go out, and Tom keeps asking why he can't come round to my
house. I'm really worried and I need some advice.

II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D to
each question.
In the United States, friendship can be close, constant, intense, generous and
real, yet fade away in a short time if circumstances change. Neither side feels
hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two,
perhaps a few letters for a while - then no more. If the same two people meet
again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship where it left off
and are delighted.
In the United States, you can feel free to visit people's homes, share their
holidays, or enjoy their lives without fear that you are taking on a lasting
obligation. Do not hesitate to accept hospitality because you can't give it in
turn. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home,
Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their
hospitality easily.
Once you arrive there, the welcome will be fun and warm and real. Most
visitors find themselves readily invited into many homes there. In some
countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home, offering what is
10
felt as only home cooked food, not "doing something for your guest". It is
left that restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome. Or for
other different reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or
family custom, outsiders are not invited into homes.
In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered
friendlier to invite a person to one's home than to go to a public place, except
in purely business relationship. So, if your host or hostess brings you home,
do not feel that you are being shown inferior treatment.
Don't feel neglected if you do not find flowers awaiting you in your hotel
room, either. Flowers are very expensive there; hotel delivery is uncertain;
arrival times are delayed, changed, or canceled - so flowers are not
customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted!
Outward signs vary in different lands; the inward welcome is what matters,
and this will be real.
46. In the United States, you will find friendships................. if
circumstances change.
A. die suddenly B. pass away
C. disappear gradually D. last forever
47. Americans .................................. their foreign friends to make, a return
for their hospitality.
A. ask B. wish C. never allow D. don't expect
48. In some other countries, giving a dinner party at home is
considered ..................................than in a restaurant.
A. less friendly B. less hospitable C. more natural D. more popular
49. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Flowers are available at all time.
B. Flowers are expensive.
C. Flowers are signs of outward welcome.
D. Flowers are not necessarily sent to guests.

each question.
I am a fairly average young man, and my life has so far been rather
uneventful. I was born eighteen years ago in a little town in Ohio, where my
father started to practice medicine. I was the first of three children, and my
younger brother, my sister, and I are close to each other, even though we had
a few of the usually childish quarrels as we grew up together.
I went through grade school without getting into any trouble, but in high
school I began to get very conceited. Then, as a student of Grade Two, I
became a member of the school football team. I thought I was good enough
16
to get by without studying, so I spent all my evening at the drugstore
watching TV.
In my junior year I did not pass geometry, and my father was more angry
with me than I like to remember. 1 felt pretty bad about this, but it taught me
a lesson, and in my senior year my grades were above average.
Now I am going to college and I am not going to let anything, even football,
keep me from getting good grades. I believe I owe it to my father and my
mother to do the best work I can. They are making a sacrifice in sending me
to college, and I want to repay them with hard work.

each question.
I was in a strange city I didn't know at all, and what's more, I could not speak
a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed,
rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours
passed pleasantly enough, and then I decided I had to turn back to my hotel
for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the
way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the
name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I
stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my hands.
I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked
was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by
the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and
left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.
About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and
fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all
22
the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the
nearest railway station.

VOLUNTEERS SERVICE OVERSE AS VSO
VSO is a registered charity dedicated to assisting in developing countries.
More specifically, it is a recruitment agency which finds, selects and places
volunteers in response to overseas requests.
This work makes it distinctive among other charities and organizations in the
UK. It sends people, not money, so that its services are, in effect, entirely
complementary to the efforts being made by agencies like Oxfam. Christian
Aid and Save the Children Fund with whom it often works directly. VSO
tries to respond to requests from overseas which ask for volunteers. Its
bias is firmly towards the poorest members of the community and it takes
great care to avoid undermining job opportunities for local people.
Both staff and volunteers also pay special attention to women's roles in
development projects. This is because women's roles in child-rearing, in
education and community cohesion are essential in any healthy process of
change.
Over the past 38 years, more than 21,000 volunteers have worked abroad
with VSO. there are now over 1,900 volunteers working in 59 of the less
developed countries in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the Caribbean.
38
The application of each volunteer is carefully considered in order to select
and interview candidates against each job request from the field, to seek the
person with the right blend of skills and personality.
VSO, the work
VSO volunteers do not go to developing countries as visiting experts with all
the answers. It is always a process of sharing and learning. The aim is that
when the volunteer returns home, there exists a community with a stronger
sense of independence and self-reliance and a volunteer with a new
understanding and appreciation of life and people everywhere. The range of
jobs required of VSO is wide - reflecting the needs of any society in the
modern world.
46. VSO is different from other charities and organizations in the UK
because it.........................
A. is a registered body.
B. sends financial aid to developing countries.
C. sends volunteers to help abroad.

A. specifically ask for female staff and volunteers.
B. require volunteers to work with the local inhabitants.
C. require help and advice on health care.
D. need help to train less wealthy members of the community.
48. According to those who work for VSO, who plays the most important
part in bringing about change?
A. women in local communities
B. volunteers from abroad
C. charitable organizations
D. staff who recruit volunteers
49. What happens when VSO wants to appoint new volunteers?
39

Each nation has many good people who take care of others. For example,
some of high school and college students in the United States often spend
many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages or home for the aged.
They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and
play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or
old. They paint, clean up, or repair their houses, do their shopping or mow
their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an organization
called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to
baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that
boys usually learn from their fathers.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games
or learn crafts. Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to

and girls.

Most educational specialists believe that early schooling should provide
children with an awareness of their own abilities and the self-confidence to
use their abilities. One approach recognized by many experts as promoting
these qualities is the Montessori method, first practiced by Maria Montessori
of Italy in the early 1900s. Nancy McCormick Rambusch is credited with
popularising the method in the United States, where today there are over 400
Montessori schools.
The method helps children learn for themselves by providing them with
instructional materials and tasks that facilitate acts of discovery and
.manipulation. Through such exploration, children develop their sense of
54
touch and learn how to do everyday tasks without adult assistance. Other
benefits include improvement in language skills, and acquaintance with
elements of science, music, and art.
46. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To explain the role of early education in child development.

each question.
Are you nervous about climbing because you think it's too dangerous? Do
you feel you're not fit enough to climb? Do you know how to start climbing?
Let's consider the idea that climbing is dangerous. Being afraid is natural, but
if you use suitable ropes and other climbing equipment you will feel
completely safe. Climbers are usually very careful because they know what
they are doing is dangerous. Accidents happen, but when they do, they tend
to attract a lot of publicity. As a result, people think there are many more
accidents than there are in reality.
You cannot expect to start climbing straight away. Climbing is a challenge
and challenges take time. It is essential first of all that you achieve a good
level of fitness. Begin as soon as you become interested in climbing - go to
the gym, go swimming, take up jogging and continue to do so throughout
your training period.
65
Discover as much as you can about climbing. Visit the library and find books
especially for beginners or buy climbing magazines and look for articles
which describe your situation. Look up information on the Internet. Find out
about equipment, methods and places to go.
Next, take a course on a climbing wall. There are plenty of climbing walls all
over the country which have trained and qualified people as instructors.
Contact your local leisure centre to find out if there is one in your area.
These training sessions are a quick way to get experience and you are likely
to meet other beginners. After this, you can do an outside course or join a
club where you can meet climbers of all abilities and eventually join in
group-climbing events.
At first you may not understand the importance of a good training period, but
after you have completed your first climb and you are standing safely at the
top of a rock feeling thrilled, then you will know it was the right thing to do.
46. The article is written by...................
A. an experienced climber B. a journalist
C. a beginner D. a fitness instructor
47. Why according to the writer do people think climbing is so dangerous?
A. There are so many climbing accidents.
B. Climbers are usually very careless.
C. When there is an accident, it is given a lot of attention.
D. Climbers often don't use the right equipment.
48. The writer thinks a new climber should...................
A. start a training programme immediately
B. begin by becoming fit
C. give up sport once they've started training
D. climb a rock straight away
49. By climbing walls you can...................
66
A. meet more experienced climbers B. train to become an instructor C. take
part in climbing events D. gain controlled experience
50. What does // (in the last line) refer to?

THE NIGHTMARE OF POPULATION GROWTH
One of the most (36)..................problems facing us now is the need to
control population growth so that people in the twenty-first century stand a
chance of survival. Although the birth rate in developed countries has fallen,
it (37) .................. to rise in poorer countries as a result of better medical
care. It is1 hard to understand the phenomenal growth in population that has
(38)..................place this century. Around the first century A.D. there
(39).................. probably between 250 and 350 million people in the world.
Sixteen centuries later, the number had risen to only 500 million.
(40).................., for more than three quarters of time between Christ and the
present day, world population (41) .................. rose.
70
Then, slowly, the rise began. By 1900 it was 1,500 million. Now it is 4,700
million. The increase in the past 65 years - less than the average life-time of
an English person today - has equaled the entire increase in the previous
100,000 years of human existence. (42).................., the rate of increase, now
close to twenty per cent a decade, is still shooting up. According to United
Nations estimates, the population of the world will have risen to
(43) .................. 6,000 million by the end of the century. While the rate of
increase is only seven per cent a decade in Western Europe, in many
developing countries it is (44)..................twenty-five and thirty per cent.
Obviously, population control will be one of the biggest problems facing the
twenty-first century. Despite all the (45) ..................signs, too little is being
done too late.

each question.
The population of the world has increased more in modern times than in all
other ages of history combined. World population totaled about 500 million
in 1650. It doubled in the period from 1650-1850. Today the population is
more than five billion. Estimates based on research by the United Nations
71
indicate that it will more than double in the twenty-five years between 1915
and the year 2000, reaching seven billion by the turn of the century.
No one knows the limits of population that the earth can support. Thomas
Malthus, an English economist, developed a theory that became widely
accepted in the nineteenth century. He suggested that because world
population tended to increase more rapidly than the food supply, a continual
strain was exerted upon available resources. Malthus cited wars, famines,
epidemics, and other disasters as the usual limitations of population growth.
With recent advances in science and technology, including improved
agriculture methods and great strides in medicine, some of the limiting
factors in population growth have been lessened, with obvious results.
International organizations have put forward several recommendations to
alleviate the problem of overpopulation, including an increase in food
production, genera! economic development in target areas, and a decrease in
birth rates. Most experts agree that it will be necessary to combine all three
recommendations in an effort to effect a lasting solution.

The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children f may
be more an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called
traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to
believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious
customs among different American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all
current American families fit the traditional mold and another third consists
of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at
home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of
American households are single people, usually women over sixty-five years
of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried
people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single,
usually divorced parents, with at least one child.

Independence Day in the United States is observed annually on the Fourth of
July. For most communities throughout the nation, the traditional celebration
includes parades down the main streets, picnics with hot dogs and lemonade,
and, of course, a fireworks display at night. In some towns across the
country, however, special events are planned in honor of the occasion. In
Bristol, Rhode Island, fire engine teams from communities throughout New
England compete in a contest to squirt water from their fire hoses. Flagstaff,
Arizona hosts a huge three-day powwow, including a rodeo, for twenty
Native American tribes. The annual Eskimo games with traditional Kayak
races are held in Kotzebue, Alaska. Two auto races are always scheduled for
the Fourth, including a four-hundred-mile stock car event at the Daytona
International Speedway in Daytona, Florida, and an annual auto race up the
fourteen-thousand-foot precipice at Pike's Peak in Colorado.
Several small towns celebrate in other unique ways. Hannibal, Missouri, the
hometown of Mark Twain, invites the children to participate in a fence-
painting contest, re-enacting a scene from Twain's novel "Tom Sawyer",
Lititz, Pennsylvania congregates in the Lititz Springs Park to light thousands
of candles and arrange them in various shapes and images.
In Ontario, California, the townspeople combine the traditional with the
unusual by setting up tables along Euclid Avenue for what they describe as
"the biggest picnic table in the world". In this way, everyone in town has a
front-row seat for the two-mile parade.

villages can get into Broadford for shopping or for work.
I live in Elgol, a small village on the south-west coast of the island. I leave
Elgol post office every morning at 8 a.m. and drive my bus 24km to
Broadford. I stop for passengers and empty the five post boxes along the
road. I also pick up the school children that live along my route and take
them to the school in Broadford. There's a school for young children in
Elgol, but the older children have to travel into the town.
It usually takes me about three hours to finish my round. I take shopping to
some of the elderly person who can't always get to Broadford; I deliver milk
and newspapers six days a week. I shouldn't deliver animals, but I sometimes
take a puppy or a rabbit as a passenger. The Post Office charges people, of
course, for all these extra services. It's 70p to travel from Elgol to Broadford
and it costs 10p to deliver a pint of milk.
People often ask me how I like living here on Skye, especially since I come
from the city. Well, it's difficult to explain, but here I feel part of the
community; it's good to know that you are helping people. I'd hate to live in
the city again.

each question.
The ecosystems of the earth provide an array of free public services that are
essential for the support of civilizations. They maintain the quality of the
atmosphere, provide food from the sea, manufacture and replenish soils,
recycle wastes and nutrients, control the overwhelming majority of crop
pests and disease vectors, and so on. People have no idea how to take over
these activities satisfactorily.
They do know, however, that the theory once advanced in the nineteenth
century - that the productivity of the land can be infinitely increased by the
application of capital, labor, and science - is wrong. History has shown that
once the natural life-support systems of a civilization have been sufficiently
damaged, they cannot usually be repaired. The ancient deforestation and
overgrazing of the Mediterranean region is a famous example. And today, a
global civilization is ruining the global environment.

NATURAL DESTRUCTION
For all the talk of what humankind has done to cause (36)..................to the
planet, we should not forget that nature itself is a powerful force, capable of
doing damage on a huge scale. The greenhouse (37)..................and the hole
in the Ozone layer are indeed made worse by the industrialized society we

each question.
Weather has a powerful effect on people. It influences health, intelligence,
and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in southern part of the United States.
Southerners have many heart attacks or other kinds of health problems
during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at
some time and very cold at other. Weather changes in February or March.
The weather can influence intelligence, for example, in a 1928 study by
scientists, the IQ score of undergraduate college students were very high
during the hurricane but after the storm, their scores were 10 percent below
average. Hurricanes can increase intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other
hand, can lower it. Students in the United States often do badly in exams in
the hot months of the year.
Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a
bad time for thin people; they usually feel cold during these months. They
might feel depressed during-cold weather. In hot summer weather, on the
other hand, fat people may feel unhappy. At about 64F, people become
stronger.
Low air pressure relaxes people. It increases forgetfulness; people leave
more packets and umbrellas on buses and in stores on low-pressure days.
There is a "perfect weather" for work and health. People feel best at a
temperature of about 64F with present humidity.
Are you feeling sick, sad tired, forgetful, or very intelligent today? The
weather may be the cause.
46. The main idea of the passage is.......................................
A. low air pressure relaxes people
B. weather has a strong effect on people
C. after the storm, people's IQ scores were 10 percent below average
113
D. there is a "perfect weather" for work and health
47. Intelligence may increase because of.......................................
A. hurricanes B. very hot weather
C, low air pressure D. very wet weather
48. Low air pressure.......................................
A. depresses fat people B. makes people feel stronger
C. causes heart attacks D. relaxes people
49. In "perfect weather" of 64F.......................................
A. people are very forgetful B. people are in better health
C. thin people feel cold D. fat people feel cold
50. Which sentence is NOT true?
A. Weather has a strong influence on people's feelings.
B. Weather can influence people's intelligence.

each question.
When I was in Scotland last year, I visited a special hydroelectric power
station. It is inside a mountain. It rains a lot in the mountains of Scotland and
there are huge lakes high up. The water falls down through large pipes to a
generator in the power station. The energy of the moving water turns the
generator and this produces electricity. A big transformer then increases the
number of volts to over 400,000. The electricity goes through cables to
different parts of Scotland, England and Wales.
118
The inside of the power station was very clean because it doesn't burn coal or
gas. It was also very quiet. I was very surprised. It was just like being in a
hospital, really.
I think hydroelectric power stations are much safer than nuclear power
stations. They are also better for the earth than coal or gas power stations.
Some countries like Sweden and the Netherlands have said they aren't going
to build any more nuclear power stations. They are going to try to make
clean electricity using water or wind. I think we should do the same and
spend more money in building hydroelectric power stations.

Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the
Pacific Ocean known as El Nino. The appearance of El Nino is known to
affect the weather around the world. Scientists still do not completely
understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in
different areas of the world. One example is the work of two scientists at
Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist
of Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that
when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops
124
in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993. That was when
southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.
The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature. Their
computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before
it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning
system for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving.
47. El Nino is known as.......................................

It is (43)..................the word "chess" comes from "shah", the Persian word

Although he created the game of basketball at the YMCA in Springfield,
Massachusetts, Dr. James A. Naismith was a Canadian. Working as a
physical education instructor at the international YMCA, now Springfield
College, Dr. Naismith noticed a lack of interest in exercise among students
during the wintertime. The new England winters were fierce, and the
students balked at participating in outdoor activities. Naismith determined
that a fast-moving game that could be played indoors would fill a void after
the baseball and football seasons had ended. First he attempted to adapt
outdoor games such as soccer and rugby to indoor play, but he soon found
them unsuitable for confined areas. Finally, he determined that he would
have to invent a game. In December of 1891, Dr. Naismith hung two peach
baskets at either end of the gymnasium at the school, and, using a soccer ball
and nine players on each side, organized the first basketball game. The early
rules allowed three points for each basket and made running with the ball a
130
violation. Every time a goal was made, someone had to climb a ladder to
retrieve the ball.
Nevertheless, the game became popular. In less than a year, basketball was
being played in both the United States and Canada. Five years later, a
championship tournament was staged in New York City, which was won by
the Brooklyn Central YMCA.
The teams had already been reduced to seven players, and five became
standard in the 1897 season. When basketball was introduced as a
demonstration sport in the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis, it quickly
spread throughout the world. In 1906, a metal hoop was introduced to
replace the basket, but the name basketball has remained.

Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in
India in the year 900 wrote that it was played "long, long ago". Chess was
probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to
Europe since 1400. The name "chess" is interesting. When one player is
attacking the other's king, he says in English, "check". When the king has
been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says "check mate". These words
come from Persian. "Shah mat" means "the king dead". That is when the
game is over, and one player has won. Such an old game changes slowly.
The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at
one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the
strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has
happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of
people. You don't have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always
played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans
beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters
are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one
man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This
must make chess the slowest game in the world.
46. Which of the following is known to be true?
A. Chess is an old Indian travelling game.
B. Chess is the oldest game in the world.
C. Chess was played in India long before 900.

48. Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the
game? A. "Shah mat" B. "Check mate"
C. "The king is dead." D. "Check"
49. Which of the following is NOT correct?
A. Only two people can play chess sitting at the same table.
B. All kinds of people can play chess.
C. Some people write each other playing chess.

each question.
A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his spare time.
Hobbyists raise pets, build model ships, weave baskets, watch birds, hunt
142
animals, climb Mountains, raise flowers, fish, ski, skate and swim. Hobbyists
also paint pictures, attend concerts and plays, and perform on musical
instruments. They collect everything from books to butterflies, and shells to
stamps.
People take up hobbies, because these activities offer enjoyment, friendship,
knowledge and relaxation. Sometimes they even yield financial profit.
Hobbies help people relax after periods of hard work, and provide a balance
between work and play. Hobbies also offer interesting activities for people
who have retired. Anyone, rich or poor, old or young, sick or well can follow
a satisfying hobby, regardless of his age, position, or income.
Hobbies can help a person's mental and physical health. Doctors have found
that hobbies are valuable in helping patients recover from physical or mental
illness. Hobbies give bed-ridden or wheelchair patients something to do, and
provide interests that keep them from thinking about themselves. Many
hospitals treat patients by having them take up interesting hobbies of past
times. In early times, most people were too busy making a living to have
many hobbies. But some persons who had pleasure did enjoy hobbies. The
ancient Egyptians played games with balls made of wood. People today have
more time than ever before for hobbies. Machines have reduced the amount
of time they must spend on their jobs. Hobbies provide variety for workers
who do the same monotonous tasks all day long. More people are retiring at
an earlier age than ever before. Those who have developed hobbies never
need to worry about what to do with their newly-found leisure hours. Sir
William Osier, a famous Canadian doctor, expressed the value of hobbies by
saying "No man is really happy or safe without a hobby."

express their happiness by singing. When a bird sings, however, its song
usually means much more than that the bird is happy. Birds have many
reasons for singing. They sing to give information. Their songs are their
language. The most beautiful songs are sung by male birds. They sing when
they want to attract a female bird. It is their way of singing that they are
looking for a wife. Birds also sing to tell other birds to keep away. To a bird,
his tree or even a branch of tree is his home. He does not want strangers to
come near him, so he sings to warn them. If a bird cannot sing well, he
usually has some other means of giving important information. Some birds
dance, spread out their tails or make others sing. One bird has a most unusual
way of finding a wife. It builds a small garden of shell and flowers.

each question.
I'm interested in sports, especially athletics, and I run seven or eight
kilometres every day. I particularly enjoy cross country running, where you
have to run across fields, jump over streams and so on. While I'm running I
think about all sorts of things, and at the end of a run I'm sometimes
surprised to find that I've managed to solve a problem that was on my mind.
Next year, I'm going to try the London Marathon. It's a long, hard race -26
miles, or 42 kilometres - and you have to be tough to finish, but I very much
want to do it. I worry a bit about getting too old, and I'd like to prove to
myself that I'm still almost as fit as I was twenty years old.
I'm interested in mountaineering as well as running. I'll never become an
expert climber, but I know what I'm doing in the mountains. I successfully
completed a course in snow and ice climbing when 1 was younger; and I've
done a series of easy climbs in the Alps during the last few years. My wife
doesn't share my interest in mountains. She agreed to go climbing with me

each question.
Stage plays, at first, seem a lot like films. Both use actors and dialogue and
scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the
stage, you'll find it won't work. A film made in this way will leave the
160
audience cold. And even worse, you'll be wasting a powerful tool - the
camera.
A stage is, in fact, a box. One side of the box has been removed so the
audience can see what's going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed
distance. In films, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and
fix their attention on a small but important thing: a frightened look, a
whisper or a trembling of hands.
The camera offers the film maker freedom, allowing him to move easily
across barriers of them and space. He can show his actors in real cities and
on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of
times in one film. No experts of the stage can do this.
46. The main idea of the text is that.............................
A. stage plays and films are too different
B. it is always disappointing to turn plays into films
C. films have certain advantages over stage plays
D. the camera has made film-making easy and possible
47. What is wrong with making a film by setting up a camera before the
stage?
A. Fewer and fewer people will go to the theatre.
B. The audience cannot see what is going on the stage.
C. The scene cannot be changed from time to time.
D. The powerful camera cannot be made good use of.
48. The camera is a powerful tool because it can.............................
A. be moved easily
B. make small things look larger
C. show things in the future .
D. give us a sense of realism
49. In what way are plays different from films?
A. Films often use real scenery while plays don't.
161
B. Films can show the past while plays can't.
C. Films change scenes while plays don't.
D. Films audience can move while play audience can't.

each question.
Are there intelligent beings on other planets in our solar system? Most
scientists don't think so. If there is, the only likely place is Mars.
It is fun to imagine our kind of human on other planets, but they would
probably look so different that we might not recognize them as people at all.
Living things have a wonderful way of adapting themselves to conditions
around them in order to stay alive. Plants grow in the Artie. Some simple
animals can survive being boiled or frozen. Creatures can live in the blackest
depths of the sea under thousands of tons of pressure.
166
We can really say that our kind of air is the only kind living things could
breathe, or that we must have water of certain climate. Creatures that
breathed other gases or lived in temperatures that would kill earthmen,
however, certainly wouldn't look like us.
Are there people anywhere else in the universe? Maybe there are. In our own
galaxy there are millions of stars. Some must have planets with conditions
like those on earth. Somewhere in space there could be other thinking
beings. If their planets are older, they may know more than we do. They may
be travelling in space.

each question.
A popular theory explaining the evolution of the universe is known as the
Big Bang Model. According to the model, at some time between ten and
twenty billion years ago, all present matter and energy were compressed into
a small ball only a few kilometres in diameter. It was, in effect, an atom that
contained in the form of pure energy all of the components of the entire
universe. Then, at a moment in time that astronomers refer to as T = 0, the
ball exploded, hurling the energy into space. Expansion occurred. As the
energy cooled, most of it became matter in the form of protons, neutrons, and
electrons. These original particles combined to form hydrogen and helium,
and continue to expand. Matter formed into galaxies with stars and planets.

A. Ten billion years ago.
B. Fifteen billion years ago.

D. Twenty billion years ago.
48. The environment before the Big Bang is described as all of the following
except
A. compressed matter.
B. energy.
C. all the components of the universe.
D. protons, neutrons and electrons.
49. The word "compressed" could be best replaced by
A. excited

50. It may be inferred that
A. energy and matter are the same.
B. protons, neutrons and electrons are not matters.

each question.
One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza
was a monument of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh
Cheops in 2720 BC. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction
make it one of the truly great wonders of the world. The thirteen-acre
structure near the Nile River is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with
limestone. Inside are the number of hidden passageways and the burial
chamber for the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The
four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east
and wet - an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun
worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid
were based on astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal
many interesting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent
a type of timeline of events - past, present, and future. Many of the events
have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past.
Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under
investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers and this
one is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial
being of the ancient past.
