Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in reality, it has both advantages and disadvantages. There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is safer for young children. However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city. First, because there are fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services means that it is hard to find jobs. In short, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the whole, it is often the best for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young people who have a career are better provided in the city. Question 1: What is the main idea of the passage? A. Good and bad points of living in the country B. Advantages of living in the country C. Good points of living in the country D. Disadvantages of living in the country Question 2: The word “certainly in bold is closest in meaning to ______ A. exactly B. frequently C. slowly D. definitely Question 3: How many advantages does living in the country have?

I am often asked whether we will do anything about the taxes we all have to pay. Of course, what people mean is that they dont want to pay so much. But I have to ask in return which services they would like to lose. For we cannot expect to have modern hospitals, wellkept roads, good schools or attractive parks if we are not prepared to pay for these things. Our children do not think that schools and colleges are only for the sons and daughters of the rich as they once were. More and more of us are living longer and longer. We all feel that we should be able to see a doctor when we need to. Old people should not suffer because we are afraid of doctor’s bill. In our society, we are proud of the fact that no one is asked whether they can pay the bill before they are allowed into a hospital. But if we want to continue to provide for all the needs of our society, we must remember that nothing in life is free. My party does not promise to cut taxes immediately. But we do promise to continue all the services that our taxes pay for, and we hope that we will manage things so well that after ashort time some taxes may be reduced. 1. Where is this text from?

I just dont know where Im going to find the money I need. There’s so much to pay for. B.I know I ought to go and see the doctor. But I dont think I can afford it. I know he will tell me to buy some medicine, but I just havent got the money. C.The trouble with people nowadays is that they all want something for nothing. They think they should be able to get whatever they want. But they dont realize that someone is going to have to pay for it in the end. D.What the government ought to do is give people control of their own money. If we didnt have to pay taxes wed be able to afford to pay all our own bills. 4. It is a characteristic of human nature that people like to get together and have fun, and people live during America’s frontier days were no exception. However, because life was hard and the necessities of daytoday living took up their time, it was common for recreation to be combined with activities necessary for survival. One example of such a form of recreation was logrolling. Many frontier areas were heavily wooded, and in order to settle an area it was necessary to remove the trees. A settler could cut down the trees alone, but help was needed to move the cut trees. After a settler had cut a bunch of trees, he would then invite his neighbors over for a logrolling. A logrolling is a community event where families got together for a combination of work and fun. The women would bring food and have a much needed and infrequent opportunity to relax and chat with friends, the children would play together exuberantly, and the men would hold lively competitions that involved rolling logs from place to place as quickly as possible. This was a day of fun for everyone involved, but as its foundation was the need to clear the land. 1. What is true in America’s frontier days?

Environmental Studies C. History D. Psychology 5. Before a joint session of Congress in 1918, President Woodrow Wilson outlined his plan for a postWorld War I peace settlement. Known as the Fourteen Points, Wilsons plan is best remembered for its first point, which declared that international diplomacy should be conducted in the open that quiet, unpublicized diplomacy should be made illegal. Wilson believed that public diplomacy would end the threat of war by preventing immoral national leaders from secretly plotting aggressive actions against others. Although Wilson was a highly intelligent and wellmeaning mat lacked insight into the complexities of international politics. Contrary to Wilson’s belief, war rarely results from the behind the scene plotting of unscrupulous national leaders. Rather, war usually stems from unrest disagreements among nationsdisagreements over territory, access to resources, and so forth. Even if quiet diplomacy could be eliminated, these disagreements would still remain, as would the threat of war. 1. What is the second paragraph of this passage primarily about? A. a postWorld War I peace settlement B. diplomacy’s role in international politics C. the actual causes of war D. disagreements among nations 2.

Even if quiet diplomacy could be abolished C. Even if quiet diplomacy could be enhanced D. Even if quiet diplomacy could be developed 6. The planet Earth is 4,600 million years old. It is difficult for us to think about such an enormous length of time because it has little meaning for us. We can, however, simplify the idea to make it more understandable. We can compare the planet Earth to a person of forty six years of age. Nothing is known about the first seven years of this persons life. Very little information exists about the middle period either. It was only at the age forty two that the Earth began to flower. Dinosaurs and great reptiles did not appear until one year ago, when the planet was forty five. Mammals only arrived eight months ago. In the middle last week, manlike apes became apelike men and began to communicate with each other. Last weekend, the Ice Age covered the Earth. Modern man has only been around for four hours. During the last hour n discovered agriculture. The Industrial Revolution and the rise of large cities began just sixty seconds ago. During that short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth. In one minute, he has increased his numbers to terrible proportions and has caused the death of hundreds of species of animals. He has robbed and destroyed the planet in his search for fuels. Now he stands, like a violent, spoiled child, delighted at the speed of his rise to power, on the edge of the final mass destruction and of killing all the life which exists in the solar system. 1. What does the passage tells us? A great deal is known about how the Earth was created. B.More is known about the first part of the Earths life than the middle part.

The dinosaurs appeared during the middle period. 3. What is the author mainly interested in? A. The time when man first evolved from apes. B. The effects of farming. C. The period before the last Ice Age D. What has happened since the Industrial Revolution. 4. What would appear to be the main danger ahead? A. Man will destroy everything on Earth. B. Man will use up all the fuels. C. There will be a population explosion. D. More species of animal may die out. 5. What does it seem to be the author’s general view of man? A. He has been the most successful animal. B. He will be able to control the environment. C. He has no right to be so destructive. D. He has learned a lot from past mistakes. 8. Fiction is the writing of a story or text that is not true. It can be written in the form of either poetry or prose. Poetry is a style of writing in which short lines form verses. Often, words at the end of these lines rhyme, like bed and red. We call a group of verses about one subject a poem. Prose writing does not have verses, nor does it rhyme. It uses sentences and paragraphs. Prose is used in magazine articles, newspaper stories, short stories, and books. Prose fiction has existed since ancient times, but most early fiction was actually written as poetry. Scholars disagree about the date of the first prose fiction book, or novel. Some scholars classify fictional stories from ancient Greece and Rome as the earliest novels. Others claim there were novels in Asia as early as the 6th century. These early novels were mostly short adventure stories about fictional characters. In Europe, prose fiction began to seriously challenge poetry in the 16th century. A Spanish author, Cervantes, wrote Europes first prose novel in the early 1600s. However, longer novels, like Cervantess Don Quixote, did not become very popular until the 1700s. By that time, there were more printing presses, and more people knew how to read. In addition, more people had money to buy these books. Today, the vast majority of fiction is written in prose rather than in poetry. 1. What does the word It in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Fiction B. Nonfiction C. Poetry D. Prose Question 2.

The date of the earliest known novel is the sixteenth century. 5. The topic discussed in paragraph 3 is about _________. A.. when Cervantes became an important author. B. when poetry became dominant in Europe. C. when prose became dominant in Europe D. when prose began in Spain. 9. Think about your daily life. Do you follow the same road to work every day? Do you sit in the same place in class? When you get dressed, do you always put the same leg or arm in first? You probably do, because we all have routines in our lives. Routines save time and energy because you do them without thinking, that’s why they are so important in the morning when your brain isn’t active. Here’s Jo talking about her morning routine. “Oh yes, I always do exactly the same things. I wake up at seven o’clock every morning, but I don’t get up till quarter past seven. I switch on the radio and listen to the news. Then I go to the loo and I brush my teeth. I have a shower and dry my hair. Then I choose my clothes and I get dressed. I don’t eat anything for breakfast. I just have a cup of coffee. Then I go to work. Yes, it’s always the same.” Routines are very useful, but they also make you uncreative. So sometimes it’s a good idea to break your routines. Get out of bed on the opposite side. Listen to a different radio station. Take a different routine to work. Eat something different for breakfast. Change your routine. You never know, it could change your life. 1. This passage is mainly concerned with ____________.

Our lives could be changed if we change our routines. B. Routines make our brain creative. C. People who have routines are unable to think. D. We shouldn’t break our routines. 10.The thing I like most about living on a farm when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter I could see them all come and go and each one was completely different.

We call a group of verses about one subject a "poem." Prose writing does not have verses, nor does it rhyme It uses sentences and paragraphs Prose is used in magazine articles, newspaper stories, short stories, and books Prose fiction has existed since ancient times, but most early fiction was actually written as poetry Scholars disagree about the date of the first prose fiction book, or novel Some scholars classify fictional stories from ancient Greece and Rome as the earliest novels Others claim there were novels in Asia as early as the 6th century These early novels were mostly short adventure stories about fictional characters In Europe, prose fiction began to seriously challenge poetry in the 16th century A Spanish author, Cervantes, wrote Europe's first prose novel in the early 1600s However, longer novels, like Cervantes's Don Quixote, did not become very popular until the 1700s By that time, there were more printing presses, and more people knew how to read In addition, more people had money to buy these books Today, the vast majority of fiction is written in prose rather than in poetry What does the word "It" in paragraph refer to?

Do you sit in the same place in class? When you get dressed, you always put the same leg or arm in first? You probably do, because we all have routines in our lives Routines save time and energy because you them without thinking, that’s why they are so important in the morning when your brain isn’t active Here’s Jo talking about her morning routine “Oh yes, I always exactly the same things I wake up at seven o’clock every morning, but I don’t get up till quarter past seven I switch on the radio and listen to the news Then I go to the loo and I brush my teeth I have a shower and dry my hair Then I choose my clothes and I get dressed I don’t eat anything for breakfast I just have a cup of coffee Then I go to work Yes, it’s always the same.” Routines are very useful, but they also make you uncreative So sometimes it’s a good idea to break your routines Get out of bed on the opposite side Listen to a different radio station Take a different routine to work Eat something different for breakfast Change your routine You never know, it could change your life This passage is mainly concerned with A our usual ways of doing things B our daily activities C Jo’s timetable D changes in our lives According to the passage, routines are useful because _ A we can them in the morning B they save time and energy C they make a habit of never thinking D we all have them in our lives The word ‘loo’ in line can best be replaced with A sink B bedroom C toilet D balcony What is the main disadvantage of routine?

Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain times of the year - for example strawberries in June and turnips in winter I lived my childhood with the seasons Also we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food Everything was fresh - so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city City people may think people in the country miss a lot of good things about modern life, but in my opinion they miss a lot more than them - they miss real life What is the main idea of the passage?

The telescopes were made And men saw that the moon was really another world They wondered what it was like They dreamed of going there On July 20th, 1969, that dream came true Two American men landed on the moon Their names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked Those were the first marks a living thing had ever made on the moon And they could stay there for years and years There is no wind or rain to wipe them off The two men walked on the moon for hours They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for study They dug up dirt to bring back They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft Next day the landing craft roared as the men took off the moon They joined Michael Collins in the spaceship that wait for them above the moon Then they were off on their long trip back to earth Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon They left the machines they had set up And they left footprints that may last forever Question 1: This story tells …………… A who had left footprints on the moon before the two men landed there B how men found footprints on the moon C what the men brought back from their trip to the moon D about the first men to walk in the moon Question 2: A telescope ……………… A makes faraway things seem closer B turns the moon into another world C makes many of men’s dreams come true D make balls of light seem brighter Question 3:The men brought rocks and dirt from the moon because ………… A they wanted to keep them as souvenirs B they wanted something to show they were there C people wanted to use them to learn about the moon D they might sell them to the scientists Question 4: The Americans’ machines will most likely stay on the moon until … A a storm covers them with dust B they become rusty and break to pieces C rain and wind destroy them D someone takes them away Question 5: The next people who go to the moon most likely could ……… A find the places where Armstrong and Aldrin walked B leave the first set of footprints on the moon C find that the machines have disappeared D find that dust has wiped off the two men’s footprints 13 All forms of energy are stored in the energy sources that we use every day These sources are divided into two groups: renewable (an energy source that can be replenished in a short period of time), and nonrenewable (an energy source that we are using up and cannot recreate in a short period of time) Renewable and nonrenewable energy sources can be used to produce secondary sources including electricity and hydrogen Renewable energy sources include wind, solar energy from the sun, geothermal energy from inside the earth, biomass from plants, and hydropower and ocean energy from water Howerver, we get most of our energy from nonrenewable energy sources, which include the fossil fuels – oil, natural gas, and coal They are called fossil fuels because they were formed over millions and millions of years by the action of heat from the earth’s core and pressure from rock and soil on the remains of dead plants and animals We use all these energy sources to generate the electricity we need for our homes, business, schools and factories Electricity powers our computers, lights, refrigerators, washing machines, etc We also use energy to run our cars and trucks Both gasoline used in cars and diesel fuel in trucks are from oil Question 1: Which of the following statements is NOT true?
