For years, newspaper reports have been 32 saying that children who spend too much time playing computer games become unsociable, bad- tempered, even violent as a 33 result But new research, 34 carried out in both Europe and the USA, suggests that the opposite may be true Indeed, playing some of the more complicated games may help people of all ages to improve certain skills Researchers claim that this is because the games 35 make the brain work harder in certain ways, like 36 noticing sounds and movements quickly and identifying what they are The fact that people play the games repeatedly 37 means that they get a lot of practice in these skills which are therefore likely to become highly developed Social skills may benefit, too Researchers in Chicago think that fans of first- person shooter games (38 such as) “Counterstrike” are better than non-players when it comes to building trust and co-operation, and that this (39 helps )them to make good friendships and become strong members of their communities So rather than (40 giving) up computer games, perhaps young people need to spend more time on them?

A The function of the voice in performance B Communication styles C The connection between voice and personality D The production of speech Question 42 What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen" in lines 8- 9? A Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are B The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words C A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication D Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas Question 43 The word "Here" in line refers to _ A interpersonal interactions B the tone C ideas and feelings D words chosen Question 44 The word "derived" in line 13 is closest in meaning to _ A discussed B prepared C registered D obtained Question 45 Why does the author mention "artistic, political, or pedagogic communication" in line 14-15?

society Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely Women’s place was in the kitchen and women’s work was household In many places, women were not even allowed to go to school Women had no rights, even the right to choose a husband for them-selves Men usually occupied high positions in society so they thought they were more intelligent and important than women Men considered women their

above Read the passage and then choose the best answer for each following question Psychologists are interested in the reasons why some people like taking part in risky sports When they studied people who were learning to jump from a plane with a parachute, they found that parachutists’ bodies produced large amounts of two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline, just before they made their jump These hormones help to prepare us for any sudden activity Adrenaline increases the heart rate and provides more sugar for the muscles, while nor does adrenaline make us react more quickly However, nor adrenaline also stimulates apart of the brain which controls feelings of pleasure Some psychologists have concluded that it is a feeling of pleasure caused by this hormone which makes certain people want to participate in dangerous sports Another possible reason is the level of arousal in part of the brain According to some psychologists, the brain tries to maintain a certain level of arousal They believe that people who normally have a low level of arousal look for excitement and new experiences in order to stimulate themselves, whereas people who usually have a high level of arousal try to avoid risks and unfamiliar situations in order not to become overexcited If the psychologists are right, people with a low arousal are the ones who enjoy participating in dangerous sports and activities It is thought that people with low levels of arousal have a slower-reacting nervous system than people with higher arousal levels It may therefore be possible to find out your level of arousal by testing your nervous system A quick way of doing this is to put some lemon juice on your tongue If you produce a lot of saliva, your nervous system has been affected by the lemon and so you probably have a high level of arousal; if you produce little of saliva, you probably have a low arousal level If you have a low level, you might enjoy taking part in risky sports However, this does not mean that you have to try parachuting! 66 Why did the parachutists’ bodies produce a lot of adrenaline and nor adrenaline before they jumped from a plane? A This is a natural reaction which helps to prepare one for sudden activity B Because they had high arousal levels C It is a natural reaction which guards them against the effects of accidents D Because they had taken drugs which led to the production of these two hormones 67 What two possible reasons are given for some people’s desire to participate in dangerous sports? A A lack of common sense, and a high level of arousal B A low level of arousal, and an inborn desire for adventure C The pleasure that results from the production of nor adrenaline, and a low level of arousal D A desire to show off, and a lack of common sense 68 What dose the brain try to maintain, according to some psychologists? A A high temperature B A low temperature C A certain level of arousal D A sense of safety 69 Why psychologists believe that people with a high level of arousal try to avoid danger? A Because they already have the level of excitement which the brain tries to maintain B Because they are more aware of the dangers involved 152 C Because they already have enough of the two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline D Because they would not be able to cope with accidents 70 What is shown by putting lemon juice on your tongue? A It shows that you have a high level of arousal if no saliva is produced B It indicates your level of arousal by amount of saliva that is produced C It can indicate whether your saliva is more acidic or more alkaline D It is a good test of your sense of taste 71 What kinds of substances are adrenaline and nor adrenaline?

many would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees Question 21: The title for this passage could be _ A “Desert Plants” B “Life Underground” C “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” D “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment” Question 22: The word “inexorable” in the passage mostly means _ A relentless B full C demanding D essential Question 23: Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as _ A sources of flowing water are rare in a desert B water is an essential part of his existence C water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things D very few large animals are found in the desert Question 24: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _ A water-loving animals B the coyote and the bobcat C moist-skinned animals D many large animals Question 25: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _ A are smaller and fleeter than forest animals B live in an accommodating environment C are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest D are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world Question 26: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT _ A they sleep during the day B they dig home underground C they are noisy and aggressive D they are watchful and quiet Question 27: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means _ A wild B cunning C unmanageable D unhealthy Question 28: : the word “Them” means A animals B people C water D minutes Question 29: The word “burrows” in the passage mostly means _ A “places where insects or other small creatures live and produce their young” B “holes or tunnels in the ground made by animals for them to live in” C “structures made of metal bars in which animals or birds are kept” D “places where a particular type of animal or plant is normally found” Question 30: We can infer from the passage that _ A living things adjust to their environment B water is the basis of desert life 156 C desert life is colorful and diverse D healthy animals live longer lives 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 number 31 to 35 Let children learn to judge their own work A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s In the same way, they learn all the other things they learn to without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them We it all for him We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher Let him it himself Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book Let him correct his own papers Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exam, marks Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or not know Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry!

The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated Advocates of organic foods- a term whose meaning varies greatly- frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the foods supply is unsafe or inadequate in the meeting nutritional needs Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and formed the basic for folklore Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like One thing that most organically grown foods products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe foods So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy expensive organic foods instead Question 56 The “ welcome development” mentioned in paragraph is an increase in A interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans B the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet C the amount of healthy foods grown in North America D the number of consumers in North America Question 57 According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term “organic foods”? 159 A It is accepted by most nutritionists B It has been used only in recent years C It has no fixed meaning D It is seldom used by consumers Question 58 The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because A organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods B many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods C conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods D too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops Question 59 According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than conventionally grown foods are often A careless B mistaken C thrifty D wealthy Question 60 What is the author’s attitude towards the claims made by advocates of health foods?
