Exercise 9. Read
the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Stella
McCartney was born in 1972, the daughter of pop star Sir Paul McCartney. She is
the youngest of three sisters. One sister is a potter and the other sister does
the same job as their mother used to do - she works as a photographer. Stella's
brother, James, is a musician. Stella first hit the newspaper headlines in 1995
when she graduated in fashion design from art college. At her final show, her
clothes were modeled by her friends, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, both
well-known models. Unsurprisingly, the student show became front-page news
around the world. Stella hadn't been in the news before as a fashion designer
but she had spent time working in the fashion world since she was fifteen. In
March 1997, Stella went to work for the fashion house Chloe. People said the
famous fashion house had given her the job because of her surname and her
famous parents but Stella soon showed how good she was. She designs clothes
which she would like to wear herself, although she's not a model, and many
famous models and actors choose to wear them. In 2001 Stella started her own fashion
house and has since opened stores around the world and won many prizes. A lifelong vegetarian, McCartney does not
use any leather or fur in her design. Instead, she uses silk, wool and other
animal-derived fabrics.
118. Which of
the following is NOT true about Stella's family?
A. She has three sisters. B.
One of her sisters is a photographer.
C.

Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss ____.

designed by Stella.

Exercise 10.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
In
American, although most men still do less housework than their wives, that gap
has been halved since the 1960s. Today, 41 per cent of couples say they share
childcare equally, compared with 25 percent in 1985. Men's greater involvement
at home is good for their relationships with their spouses, and also good for
their children. Hands-on fathers make better parents than men who let their
wives do all the nurturing and childcare. They raise sons who are more expressive
and daughters who are more likely to do well in school - especially in math and
science.
In
1900, life expectancy in the United States was 47 years, and only four per cent
of the population was 65 or older. Today, life expectancy is 76 years, and by 2025,
it is estimated about 20 per cent of the U.S. population will be 65 or older.
For the first time, a generation of adults must plan for the needs of both
their parents and their children. Most Americans are responding with remarkable
grace. One in four households gives the equivalent
of a full day a week or more in unpaid care to an aging relative, and more than
half say they expect to do so in the next 10 years. Older people are less
likely to be impoverished or incapacitated by illness than in the past, and
have more opportunity to develop a relationship with their grandchildren.
Even
some of the choices that worry people the most are turning out to be manageable. Divorce rates are likely to
remain high, and in many cases marital breakdown causes serious problems for
both adults and kids. Yet when parents minimize conflict, family bonds can be
maintained. And many families are doing this.
More non-custodial parents are staying in touch with their children.
Child-support receipts are rising. A lower proportion of children from divorced
families are exhibiting problems than in earlier decades. And stepfamilies are
learning to maximize children's access to supportive adults rather than cutting
them off from one side of the family.
123. Which of
the following can be the most suitable heading for paragraph 1?
A.
Men's involvement at home
B. Benefits of men's involvement at
home
C.
Drawbacks of men's involvement at home
D.
Children studying math and science

126. Which of
the following is NOT true about divorce rates in the USA?

Children are encouraged to meet their separate parents.
