Part 2. Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question. (5.0 pts)
KEEPING OUR TEETH HEALTHY
It’s very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to
look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering the tooth. This
happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth.
Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill.
How can we keep our teeth healthy? First, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the
small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing
in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly,
we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and flouride toothpaste at least twice a day once after breakfast
and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean our teeth after a meal.
Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread,
potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, bistcuits and cakes are bad, especially
when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
1. It can be learnt from the second paragraph that____________.
A. a lot of people visit a dentist only when their teeth grow properly
B. many people do not visit a dentist as they have holes in their teeth
C. many people visit a dentist only when they have toothache
D. many people visit a dentist on a regular basis
2. Which of the following best replaces “covering” in the passage?
A. destroying B. damaging C. protecting D. hiding
3. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT____________.
A. We should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and flouride toothpaste at least twice a day.
B. Chocolate, sweets, bistcuits and cakes are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
C. We shouldn’t eat brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit.
D. Many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist.
4. When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth________.
A. become hard B. begin to decay C. send poison into the blood D. make us feel good
5. What does “they” in the passage refer to?
A. the small holes B. the teeth C. people D. dentist

Part 3. Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question. (5.0 pts)
Some people think that a spider is an insect, but it is an arachnid. Arachnids have two main body parts
and eight walking legs while insects have three main body parts and six legs. Many insects can fly, but spiders
cannot fly.
There are many different kinds of spiders around the world. They come in different colors, such as
black, brown, white, yellow, and orange. Spiders usually live for one year but a spider called the Tarantula lives
as long as 20 years. Some spiders are very small but some are so large they can fit a dinner plate.
The most unusual thing is that a spider can spin a web. Spiders have silk in their stomach and they use
the silk to make a web. The web is the spider's home. But the spider does not stick to its own web because its
legs have oil them. It is very strong and sticky. The web is used to catch insects. When an insect is trapped on a
spider's web, the spider wraps the insect in silk. It eats the insect at a later time. However, the spider does not
really eat it. Since it has no teeth, it puts venom in the insect to make it a liquid.
1. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Facts about spiders B. The parts of a spider's body
C. How a spider makes its home D. The eating habits of spiders
2. Why does the author mention “a dinner plate” in paragraph 2?
A. To suggest that spiders can be eaten B. To show a way to measure spider size
C. To give an example how big some spiders are D. To point out that the larger spiders are safe
3. The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A. a spider B. the web C. their stomach D. an insect
4. The word “wraps” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. folds B. binds C. drinks D. bites
5. All of the following are true EXCEPT that ________.
A. spiders have a different body structure from that of insects.
B. spiders have various colors and mostly live for a year.
C. special spiders can spin a web and catch insects by it.
D. spiders use poisons to make their food into a liquid.
