Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 51 to 60 The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the planet access to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than 2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject. Unlike other encyclopedias, however, Wikepedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These writers are not paid and their names are not published. They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to share their knowledge. Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human knowledge. The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general education”. Real popularity for encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the publication of encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same amount of information could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the Internet, it became possible to create an online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta. However, even Internet-based encyclopedias like Encarta were written by paid experts. At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in Chicago, was not so different from these. In 2001, he had the idea for an Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore, that information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time. But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the articles, and so he began by hiring experts. He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long time to finish their work. He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online. To do this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users to create or alter content on web page. The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles. If you find an article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or expand it. This process goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes. Question 51: Wikipedia is a(n) ___________ . A. book B. journal C. article D. dictionary Question 52: Wikipedia is written by___________. A. paid written B. millionaires C. normal people D. world experts Question 53: The phrase “these writers” in the first paragraph refers to _______.

A. knowledge B. encyclopedia C. writing D. collection Question 55: Microsoft’s Encarta is cited in the passage as an example of _______. A. CD-ROM dicitonary B. printed encyclopedia C. online encyclopedia D. updateable online encyclopedia Question 56: The word “brainchild” in the second paragraph of the passage can be best replaced by________. A. born B. child C. product D. father Question 57: The word “approach” in the third paragraph of the passage means________. A. idea B. time C. method D. writing Question 58: The user of Wikipedia can do all of the following EXCEPT__________. A. have access to information B. determinate the website C. modify information D. edit information Question 59: We can say that Jimmy Wales _______. A. bacame very famous after the formation of Wikipedia B. is the father of Wikipedia C. made a great profit from Wikipedia D. decides who can use Wikipedia Question 60: Wiki software enables _______. A. exchanging articles B. a purchase of information C. limited access D. editing Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70 Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life. The great ocean basins hold about 300 million cubic miles of water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean. More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the continents. This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent. Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence. The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any other liquid. One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling. For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom. If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer season. Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent. Another outstanding charateristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and solids except ammonia. This characterisitc enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes.

It is this characteristic which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down from the continents. In several areas of the world these minerals are being commercially exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely practised, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast.

A. illustrate the importance of conserving water B. describe the properties and uses of water C. compare water with other liquids D. explain how water is used in commerce and industry Question 62: The phrase “this vast amount” in line 4 of paragraph 1 refers to __________ . A. 80,000 million cubic miles of water B. 24,000 cubic miles of rain C. 80,000 cubic miles of water D. 300 million cubic miles of water Question 63: The word “replenish” in paragraph 1 can best replaced by ________ . A. fill again B. replace C. evaporate D. form Question 64: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because ________ .
