New surveys suggest that the technological tools we use to make our lives easier are killing our leisure time We are working longer hours, taking fewer and shorter vacations (and when we go away, we take our cell phones, PDAs, and laptops along) And, we are more stressed than ever as increased use of e-mail, voice mail, cell phones, and the Internet is destroying any idea of privacy and leisure
Since the Industrial Revolution, people have assumed that new labor-saving devices would free them from the burdens of the workplace and give them more time to grow intellectually, creatively, and socially – exploring the arts, keeping up with current events, spending more time with friends and family, and even just ‘goofing off’
But here we are at the start of the 21st century, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom times in human history, and nothing could be further from the truth The very tools that were supposed to liberate us have bound us to our work and study in ways that were inconceivable just a few years ago It would seem that technology almost never does what we expect
In ‘the old days’, the lines between work and leisure time were markedly clearer People left their offices at a predictable time, were often completely disconnected from and out of touch with their jobs as they traveled to and from work, and were off-duty once they were home That is no longer true In today’s highly competitive job market, employers demand increased productivity, expecting workers to put in longer hours and to keep in touch almost constantly via fax, cell phones, e-mail, or other communications devices As a result, employees feel the need to check in on what is going on at the office, even on days off They feel pressured to work after hours just to catch up on everything they have to Workers work harder and longer, change their work tasks more frequently, and have more and more reasons to worry about job security
Bosses, colleagues, family members, lovers, and friends expect instant responses to voice mail and e-mail messages Even college students have become bound to their desks by an environment in which faculty, friends, and other members of the college community increasingly their work online Studies of time spent on instant messaging services would probably show staggering use
This is not what technology was supposed to be doing for us New technologies, from genetic research to the Internet, offer all sorts of benefits and opportunities But, when new tools make life more difficult and stressful rather than easier and more meaningful – and we are, as a society, barely conscious of it – then something has gone seriously awry, both with our expectations for technology and our understanding of how it should benefit us
From “Summit 1” by Joan Saslow & Allen Ascher Question 36: This passage has probably been taken from
A a fashion magazine B an advertisement C a political journal D a science review Question 37: The word “inconceivable” in the passage is closest in meaning to” ”
A foreseeable B unforgettable C predictable D unimaginable Question 38: The word “They” in the fourth paragraph refers to
A employers B tasks C employees D workers
Question 39: According to the first three paragraphs, technological tools that were designed to make our lives easier
A have fully met our expectations B have brought us complete happiness
C have turned out to us more harm than good D have not interfered with our privacy
Question 40: Which of the following could best serve as the title of the passage?
A Benefits of Technology B Research on the Roles of Computers C Expectations and Plain Reality D Changes at the Workplace
Question 41: Which of the following is NOT true about technological tools, according to new surveys? A They are used even during vacations B They bring more leisure to our life
C They are being increasingly used D They make our life more stressful Question 42: It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that

C employers are more demanding and have efficient means to monitor employees D it is compulsory that employees go to the office, even on days off
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 43 to 50
Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding natural resources We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source of environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production practices We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the environment Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which is abandoned and poorly stored It represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it degrades and leaks into the earth without any control at all
Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can affect all levels of an ecosystem It can affect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability of food up through the food chain It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to support healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff The health of animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in contaminated water In addition water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate contaminants in their bodies When other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminant than they would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination
Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the ground by manmade or natural processes Depending on the study of rocks of the area, groundwater may rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink deeper into the earth In many parts of the world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry
Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled up soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals
Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as contaminants are absorbed from the lungs into other parts of the body Certain air contaminants can also harm animals and humans when they contact the skin Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air
(Source: Adapted from http://www.grid.unep.ch/waste/download/waste1213.pdf) Question 43: The word “it” in the first paragraph refers to
A the remaining waste B the threat of the remaining waste
C a danger D the environment
