60 Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a distant site and transmit the material to their employers A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published "The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago Why hasn't telecommuting become more popular? Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager's responsibilities It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office Question 56: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuters EXCEPT _ A the different system of supervision B the lack of interaction with a group C the fact that the work space is in the home D the opportunities for advancement Question 57: How many American workers are involved in telecommuting? A Fewer than estimated in USA Today B More than million C Fewer than last year D More than predicted in Business Week Question 58: It can be inferred from the passage that the author is _ A the manager of a group of telecommuters B a reporter C a statistician D a telecommuter Question 59: The word "resistance" could best be replaced by _ A participation B alteration C opposition D consideration Question 60: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? A A definition of telecommuting B The advantages of telecommuting C An overview of telecommuting D The failure of telecommuting 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 following questions from 61 to 70 Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs One alternative is to eat substitute eggs These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked They have the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called 'designer' eggs These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly They cite scientific studies to back up their claim And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level Question 61: What is the main purpose of the passage? A To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes B To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten C to inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol D To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level Question 62: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases? A minerals B cholesterol C canola oil D vitamins Question 63: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'? A in fact B a little C a lot D indefinitely Question 64: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs? A increasing price B dietary changes in hens C decreased production D concerns about cholesterol Question 65: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol? A 2/3 B 3/4 C 1/2 D 1/3 Question 66: The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following? A studied B destroyed C tested D described Question 67: What is the meaning of 'back up'? A reverse B support C advance D block Question 68: What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'? A The results are a composite of things B The results are inconclusive C The results are mingled together D The results are blended Question 69: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of eggs EXCEPT? A poached B fried C boiled D scrambled Question 70: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol? A increasing egg intake but not fat intake B reducing egg intake but not fat intake C increasing egg intake and fat intake D decreasing egg intake and fat intake Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks 71 to 80 The first question we might ask is: What can you learn in college that will help you in being an employee?

Psychologist have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to outstandingly well Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person is born with Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be develop The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s ability to well However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly birth and brought up by different parents They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability The more favorable the environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed However, there is no link between intelligence and socioeconomic level of a child’s family In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect the intelligence Gifted people can not be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice: - Marry an intelligent person - Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents - Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard - Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instrument is essential for a child who wants to become an outstanding musician 1: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that A different twins generally have different levels of ability B ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement C intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability D ability depends both on intelligence and environment 2: Scientists chose twins for their study because A they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence B they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing C they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities D each twin has the same environment as his/ her twin 3: How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? A They practice playing their instruments for many years B They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic C They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas D Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured 4: The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow A only their interests in computer games B only their interests in musical instruments C their own interests D their parents’ interests 5: When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid A letting them play their own way B starting their education at an early age C pushing their children too hard D permitting them to follow their own interests 6: The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the passage means that in order to become a genius, A you need to have good health and good nourishment B you need intelligence and you need to develop it C you should try to move quickly and efficiently D you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard 7: The word “favorable” in the passage mostly mean A “of high quality or an acceptable standard” B “under the control or in the power of somebody else” C “good for someone and making him/ her likely to be successful” D “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to the other people” 8: All of the following statements are true EXCEPT A a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents B studying different twins is useful scientific procedure C educational development depends completely on economic well-being D to become successful, a child need both native intelligence and development 9: The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires A parental support and encouragement B an expensive education C wealthy and loving parents D good musical instruments 10: The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to A other people B other scientists C other geniuses D other children Read the passage and circle the best option A, B, C, or D to complete the following questions or statements: Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300 By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed 11: What is the main topic of the passage?
