That program
became one of America's exports soon after it was shown in New York in 1969.
In the United
States more than six million children watch the program regularly. Although
some people do not agree to some parts of the program, parents praise it highly.
Tests have
shown that children have learned much from watching “Sesame Street”. The
children who watch it five times a week learn more than those who watch it
less. In the United States the program is shown at different hours during the
week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.
The program
uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding
of numbers, letters and human relationships.
Why has
“Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many
reasons have been suggested, such as the educational theories of its producers,
the support from both the government and businessmen, and the full use of
various kinds of television skills. Perhaps another important reason is that
mothers watch “Sesame Street” together with their children. This is partly
because famous film stars often appear on “Sesame Street”. But the best reason
for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it
feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn
more.

world” because
it is_________ .
A.

B.

watched regularly by six million children

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B> C, or D to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The bee, like
the ant, is a social insect. Bees live in groups in a hive, and every bee does
certain work that helps the other members of the group. In a beehive there are
three kinds of bees: the queen bee, the drones, and the workers. The worker
bees go from flower to flower collecting nectar, or juice, which is composed
mostly of sugar mixed with water. Bees draw this nectar into the honey sacks of
their bodies, and enzymes in their bodies turn the nectar into honey. This
newly made honey flows slowly from the underside ol the bees and is stored in
cells in the hive to be used as food during the winter months. Some people are
in the honey business and keep hundreds of hives. Beekeepers remove honey from
the hives and pack it in bottles or jars. Honey usually appears as a clear
golden-colored liquid, but this depends on the kind of flower from which the bees have
taken the nectar.

Read the
following passage and mark the letter A, By C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Pronouncing
a language is a skill. Every normal person is an expert in the skill of
pronouncing his own language; but few people are even moderately proficient at
pronouncing foreign languages. There are many reasons for this, some obvious,
some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why
people in general do not speak foreign languages very well is that they fail to
grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently
never set about tackling it in the right way. Too many people fail to realize
that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill - one that needs
careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just
leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of
17
languages,
while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their
practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language.
So the tirst point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught;
die teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and
should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his
close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects ot English,
such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place.

C.

D.
There are a lot of people who are moderately proficient.
37.
The writer argues that going about the problem of pronunciation in
the wrong
way is________ .
A.
an obvious cause of not grasping the problem correctly
B.
a fundamental consequence of not speaking well
C.
a consequence of not grasping the problem correctly
D.
not an obvious cause of speaking poorly

A. skill B.

A.
picking it up naturally as a child
B.
learning from a native speaker
C.

taking on systematic work

Some
policemen in New York City don't look like policemen. They are part of a
special anti-crime squad. They help the regular police force in a clever way.
The squad has 200 men, two make-up artists and a hairdresser.
Seven
days a week these policemen go out to work - but New Yorkers probably don't
notice them in the streets. Every morning they leave the squad offices, after a
few minutes with the hairdresser and make-up artists. They go into the streets
as hippies, businessmen, blind men, postmen, women, and workmen. Without police
uniforms they can move about the city and watch
people
very easily. They watch carefully, and talk to people — sometimes to criminals.
Then they give information to the police.
These
people's job is very dangerous. Criminals are afraid of policemen with guns.
But they are not afraid of k4an ordinary person”. So criminals often
attack these special policemen. The anti-crime squad must have lessons to learn
to protect themselves. The police department pays these men the same money as
ordinary policemen.
36.
The special
anti-crime squad is made up of_____ .
A.
197 policemen and policewomen B. 200 policemen and policewomen C.

37.

A.

D.

39.

A.

B.

life looking at things. Looking, like breathing, is natural, we do it

Once you start seeing things you really begin to wake up. People who see things
which others have only looked at, and draw'conclusions from what they see, can
add to man's knowledge and help progress.
Someone
recently discovered a place where metal had been worked continuously longer
than anywhere else in England. He ‘saw’ a wall in the Forest of Dean. Thousands
of people must have looked at it without really seeing it, but this man noticed
that among the usual stones of that place were bits and pieces of a different
color, they also felt different to the hand. A closer sight showed that these
pieces had been left behind in the fires of ancient peoples who had melted
rocks to get metals. Looking around,
he found more

centuries was known.

In early days
no medical college took a woman student. Elizabeth Blackwell, however, was
determined to become a doctor. The young American wrote again and again to a
number of medical colleges, asking if she could be enrolled but each time the
answer was NO.
Then one day,
to her surprise, she got a letter from the dean of a college in Geneva, which
said YES.
At first
Geneva College, like the other colleges, was not willing to enroll Elizabeth.
But later the important people of that college learned that Elizabeth's
application had the support of a famous doctor, and they were afraid to offend
that man.
So
the dean decided to play a trick by turning the matter over to the student's
general meeting of the college, thinking that the students would be the last to
agree to take Elizabeth.
When the boy
students met, most students took no interest in the matter. Oi the rest, some
considered the young American's idea interesting and some thought by having
Elizabeth they would be proud of their college training the world's first woman
doctor. Very soon the students all agreed to accept . Elizabeth.

do nothing to keep Elizabeth out, he gave in.

the country to denote the same thing. For example, in the east, Americans use
the word "soda" to denote a soft drink. In some parts of the west, a
soft drink is "tonic". Such differences are usually a source of
conversation and sometimes misunderstanding happens.
Speech and
life all over the world have often changed. New words are being used when new
discoveries are made and new concepts are formed. Usage determines what is
correct or incorrect. Fifty years ago, it was incorrect to say "It's
me." But today it is acceptable simply because most Americans say that
instead of "It's I." People change, so language changes. What is
wrong today may be right tomorrow.

Read
the following passage and mark the letter A,

C> or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The
first English settlers in America soon discovered that they had to learn to
make the best of the local foods. They had brought wheat and rye seeds * with
them, but these were difficult to grow in fields still full of tree stumps
after the colonists' amateurish clearing operations. Corn, on the other hand,
was easy.
From
the North American Indian they learned not only how to grow it but how to
cook it in a dozen simple and enjoyable ways - as porridge, flatbread, and as a
kind of frumenty. They were pleased, too, to recognize their friend, the turkey
(the Indians' furkee).
From
the Indians the settlers discovered not only what was edible but how to
cook it. One example is the seacoast clambake, a way of cooking clams and com.
Another cooking technique discovered was the barbecue, which seems to have
filtered north from the Caribbe n where the Carib Indians salted and
smoke-dried meat over a fire of animal hides, a technique they called boucan.
36.
We can see from the passage that the first English settlers____________ .
A.
enjoyed the taste of indigenous foods
B.
had come to America well prepared for farming
C.
were amateurs when it came to planting crops
D.
were dependent on the North American Indians for everything
37.
What does the word ‘it' in the second paragraph refer to?
A. wheat B.
rye C. corn D. porridge
38.

A. can be cooked B.
can be eaten C. expensive D.
very bad
39.
It can be inferred from the passage that__________ .
A.
the first settlers were expert at cutting down trees
B.
the first settlers preferred English cooking
C.
the first settlers and the Indians both valued the turkey
D.
the Indians and the first settlers enjoyed cooking food together
40.
The best title for the passage would be____________ .
A.

C. Difficulties

To accomplish
a three-dimensional or 3D effect in a movie, two steps are necessary. First,
the movie needs to be shot a special way. Then, the movie needs to be viewed in
a special way.
To shoot a 3D
movie, it is necessary to use two cameras at the same time. This is different
from a regular movie, which is shot with only one camera. The two cameras are
placed next to each other. The placement of the cameras imitates how two eyes
each see one scene from a different perspective. The same
picture is shot by each of the cameras at the same time, but each of the
cameras films the scene from a different angle because of the position of the
cameras.
When you go
to the theater to view a 3D, you must wear special glasses to get the
three-dimensional effect. [40A] Both pieces of film are projected
simultaneously; when the pieces of film are projected at the same time, the
special glasses then force each of your two eyes to see the film in a different
way. [40B] Your left eye sees the film shot with the left camera, and your
right eye sees the film shot with the right camera. [40C] If you try to watch
the movie without the special glasses, it will seem like you have double
vision. [40D]
36.
The best subject for this passage is___________ .
A. the way to create a 3D movie B. problems involved in 3D movies
C. the use of cameras in 3D movies D. where 3D movies can be seen

American
foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient
and rapid consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers,
French fries, and soft drinks. By the 1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of
America's strongest exports as franchises for Me Donald's and Burger King
spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and China.
Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace gave way to
quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American
cultural patterns.
By the late
20th century Americans had become more conscious of their diets,
eating more poultry, fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks
began to rediscover many world cuisines in forms closer to their original. In
California, chefs combined fresh fruits and vegetables available with
ingredients and spices borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an innovative
cooking style that was lighter than traditional French, but more interesting
and varied than typical American cuisine. Along with
the state's wines, California cuisine took its place among the acknowledged
forms of fine dining.

It
is often considered that the schoolyard is where bullies go to make other kids
a miserable school life, but a new study suggests that classrooms are another
popular place.
The
study, presented recently at the American Public Health Association's yearly
meeting in Philadelphia, is based on the results of the research from more than
10,000 middle school students who answered questions online.
Of
those researched, 43% said they'd been physically bullied within the last
month. A bit more than half said they had been laughed at in an
unfriendly way, and half reported being called hurtful names. About one third
said groups had excluded them to hurt their feelings. 28% said their belongings
had been taken or broken; 21% said someone had threatened to hurt them.
According to the results, two-thirds of the students said they had been bullied
in more than one way over the previous month.
The
study authors mentioned that 8% of the students who answered said they had
missed school at least once during the school year because of fear of being
bullied, 25% said they had taken other actions, such as missing recess, not
going to the bathroom or lunch, missing classes, or staying away from some area
of the school to escape from experiencing a bully. Bullies did too much to the
school life.

Package
holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive location are increasingly
popular, because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to
the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your
destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing -
you name it - it's all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to
bother anything yourselves. You make friends and have a good time, but there is
very little chance that you will really get to know the local people. This is
even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time
travelling. Of course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit
historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief
stay over night in some famous city, with a polite reminder to be up and
breakfasted early in time for the coach next morning. You may visit the
beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There is also
the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of
people you have never met before, may not like and have no reasonable excuse
for getting away from. As against this, it can be argued that for many people,
particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a group,
although for a short period on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely
back in their seat and watch the world go by.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
There
are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.
Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we
can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or
two weeks, or possibly months. It should be remembered that just as a building
is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very
much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our
short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals
that will build on those that have been completed.
The
intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might
deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even
extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never
allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step,
you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your
list of compassion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.
Long-range
goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years
or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to
limit us or our course of action.
36.
Our long-term goals mean a lot_________ .
A.
if we complete our short-term goals
B.
if we cannot reach solid short-term goals
C.
if we write down the dates
D.
if we put forward some plans
37.

A. two years B.
long-term goals
C.

38.

A.
we will win final success
B.
we are overwhelmed
C.
we should build up confidence of success
D.
we have strong desire for setting new goals
39.

A.

B.
we may change our goals as we have new ideas and opportunities
C.

D.

A good deal
of fascinating research has
been done into the reading patterns of young people, and it's surprising to discover
at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kinds
of books. A recent report, which examined in detail the reading habit of
primary school children, showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have
clear views about what they want to read. Girls, in general, read more, and far
more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for
the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else books about their hobbies.
These
tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls
read more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there
are more opportunities for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the
fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by their late teens, girls
have probably moved on to the adult women's magazines. Teenage boys tend to
buy
magazines about their hobbies: sports, motorcycles, heavy transport an so on.

Read the following passage and mark the letter Ay By
Cy or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
In the early
1800’s, the paper industry was still using rags as the basic source of fiber as
it had for many centuries. However, the rag supply couldn't keep up with the
growing demand for paper. The United States alone was using 250,000 tons of
rags each year. And a quarter of that had to be imported. It was clear that the
new source of fiber was needed to keep up with the demand for paper. The answer
to this problem turned out to be paper made from wood pulp, something that was
abundantly available in North America. In Canada, the first wood pulp mill was
set up in 1866 and was immediately successful. But while wood pulp solved the
problem of quantity, it created the problem of quality. Wood contains a
substance called lignin. The simplest way to make large quantity of cheap paper
involves leaving the lignin in the
82
wood pulp.
But lignin has poor structure and its presence in paper has shortened the life
expectancy of paper from several centuries for rag paper to less than a century
for paper made from wood pulp. This means that hooks printed less than a
hundred years ago are already turning yellow and beginning to disintegrate, but
rag paper books printed much earlier may be in fine condition. This is bad
enough for the older books on your bookshelf, but it poses a huge problem for
libraries and collection of the government documents.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,
B,
C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
People
invent things to enhance their lives. Today, inventions are mostly improvements
of previous inventions. With technology, inventions are taking a shorter and
shorter time to complete.
One such
invention is the camera. The time taken to invent the camera in the sixteenth
century was prolonged due to the lack of technology and scientific knowledge.
When inventors first tried to take a photograph in 1558, the image could not
stay on the paper permanently. It was only in 1837 that inventors managed to
produce pictures that did not fade away.
With the
invention of the camera, further improvements were made and the first
underwater camera was invented in 1856. It was placed in a tightly sealed
container. However, when the contraption was underwater, the container broke before
many pictures were taken. It was only in the 1980s that a camera was made to be
able to go deep underwater without being damaged. Less than twenty years later,
technology allowed underwater cameras to take photographs in color and to go
even deeper into the water. The cameras even looked like a fish.
With better
technology, an invention will never stay stagnant. People will be relentless in
their efforts at making improvements to an invention.
36.
How are inventions of today different from those in the past?
A.
They gradually enrich people's lives.
B.
They need less time to complete.
C.
They have intention of being larger.
D.
They are effectively used.
37.
What happened to the image on the photograph of the first camera?
A.
The image disappeared.
B.
The image was different after a time period.
C.
The color of image did not stay a long time.
D.
The image could not remain on the paper for long.
38. How many
years later did it take the inventors to produce the first underwater camera
after the first camera?
A. 321 years B.
279 years C. 298 years D.
389 years
39.
The first underwater camera

A. made after one improvement B.

D.

Read the following passage and
mark the letter Ay B, C, or D to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Wikipedia is
an encyclopaedia that is available on the Internet and what people love about
it is that it can be edited by absolutely everybody.
When and how
did it start? It was founded in 2001 by a guy called Jimmy Wales. It started as
a fancy idea, a kind of hobby and everybody is surprised how popular it has
become and how many computer scientists it has attracted. It has got a
collection of about 1.8 m articles, the majority of which are in English;
however, one can find some articles in over 200 languages. If it was a
business, it would earn lots of money.
How
is it possible that articles that can be changed by anyone are correct? The
Wikipedia is based on wikis - a special software which lets everyone modify a
webpage and it is true that anyone can change the information on the page if
they think it's incorrect. But, the Wikipedia has a team of over 13,000 people
who are experts in different fields and who correct any inaccurate information
* sent by people.
Is it
error-free? One may say so. Recently, for example, the British journal Nature
looked at the scientific information in Wikipedia and confirmed it was very
reliable and that they didn’t find many errors. It was very good news for the
founder as well as for all the users.
Why is it
becoming so popular? Like the whole idea of the Internet, it's also quick and
available to everyone. The greatest thing of all is that it is free. Some
people also stress that it's fun to be able to add what you know to the
information on the net. IT specialists believe it has a very bright future and
most claim it's the most brilliant invention ever.

It
has been said that no town grows up until it is home to a college or
university. Knowing this, as early as 1944, far-sighted community leaders began
to plan and raise money for the creation of a junior college in Columbus. In
February of 1958 the Georgia Legislature passed the Junior College Bill, which
stipulated that all colleges qualifying for state funding must be in operation
by September of 1958.
It
was a challenge to meet the deadline, but on September 22, 1958, Columbus came
of age: Columbus College began classes in the old Shanon Hosiery Mill, with 13
faculty members, five academic programs and 227 students. The phenomenal growth of
the college began. In 1960, the first class of graduates received their
associate degrees. In 1963, the college relocated to its present site. In 1965,
the college was authorized to move up to the four-year status, and 1966 saw the
first enrollment in a bachelor's degree program. In 1973, the first graduate
students began classes leading to the Master of Education degree and finally,
in 1996, Columbus College became Columbus State University.
Some
of the benefits from the university to our town are obvious - the spreading of
knowledge and culture, skills and technology through college and advanced
courses that students are able to take locally.
A
major benefit from the university to our town is not so obvious, perhaps.
Hundreds of highly educated and talented faculty and staff have become
citizens of our area, contributing their skills, expertise and viewpoints to
the common good of the community and generally promoted the progress of the
area in a number of diverse ways.
Looking
back over 60 years of growth, the dream of those leaders who had the foresight
to bring the college to Columbus has been fulfilled beyond their dreams.
36.
The idea that prompted the community leaders in Columbus to plan
for the
creation of a college is that__________ .
A.
towns can grow very large if they have a college
B.
the town must have a college for their own benefit
C.
a town cannot be fully developed without a college
D.
foresight is essential when they plan for the college
37.
Columbus College began classes in September, 1958 so that it

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,
By
C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Space
is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors but also because of rays from
the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on
earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food
which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays
come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities
of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the
atmosphere, they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the
walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation
damage. Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit
of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can
put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure
of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to
be sure about radiation damage - a person may feel perfectly well, but the
cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered
until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren.
Missions
of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation, and during the
outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of
rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the
Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are
going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the
atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the
damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.
36.
According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to
man in that_________ .
A.
it protects him against the harmful rays from space
B.
it provides sufficient light for plant growth
C.
it supplies the heat necessary for human survival
D.
it screens off the falling meteors
37.
We know from the passage that__________ .
A.
exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal
B.
the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming
C.
radiation is avoidable in space exploration
D.
astronauts in spacesuits needn't worry about radiation damage
38.
The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members_____________ .
A. is insignificant B.
seems overestimated
C.
is enormous D.
remains unknown

the Apollo mission was very successful
B.

C.
