For his polar adventure, Clink built his (65) boat He (66) off in 1998 from South Georgia and he arrived back there 88 days later - although he (67) eleven of those days on dry land in Antarctica He did not stop there out of (68) , but because he wanted to see he Antarctic Peninsula
Klink knew that his (69) would be dangerous On the way he had to be careful to (70) .huge floating blocks of ice These icebergs as they are called, were everywhere and (71) one of them would have been a disaster As Clink knew that any rescue mission would have been impossible in the rough seas, he did not (72) to take a life-boat
When he sailed into (73) winds 750 miles south of Tasmania, he met waves that were twenty-five metres high This meant staying awake most of the time He only managed to sleep for twenty-minute (74) at a stretch But he succeeded in the end, (75) all the difficulties that he had to face

III Read this passage carefully and then choose the best answer A, B, C or D to questions below
Telecommuting is some 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 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 its cover story a few years ago Why hasn't telecommuting become so popular?
(6)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 nearly get away from the office
76 With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned? A The advantages of telecommuting
B A definition of telecommuting C An overview of telecommuting D The failure of telecommuting
77 How many American workers are involved in telecommuting? A More than predicted in Business Week
B More than million C Fewer than last year
D Fewer than estimated in USA Today
78 The word “resistance” in the passage could best be replaced by A alteration
B participation C opposition D consideration
79 The word t “telecommuter” in the passage refers to:
A a person who works in an office and communicate with the boss by computer B a person who uses computer to communicate with the boss but they are at home C a person who sits at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports D a person who commutes to a far place to work
80 It can be referred from the passage that the author is: A a telecommuter
B the manager of a group of telecommuters C a statistician
D a reporter

III Read this passage carefully and then choose the best answer A, B, C or D to questions below
(14)experts at opening garbage cans, and in some places even deer wander suburban thoroughfares Several species of squirrel get along nicely in suburbia, but usually only one species is predominant in any given suburb -fox squirrels in one place, red squirrels in another, gray squirrels in a third – for reasons that are little understood The diversity of birds in the suburbs is great, and in the South, lizards thrive in gardens and even houses Of course, insects are always present
There is an odd biological sameness in these suburban communities True, the palms of Los Angeles are missing from the suburbs of Boston, and there are species of insects in Miami not found in Seattle But over wide stretches of the United States, ecological conditions in suburban biomes vary much less than those of natural biome And unlike the natural biomes, the urban and suburban communities exist in spite of, not because of, the climate
1 If there was a preceding paragraph to this passage it would most likely be concerned with
which of the following topics?
A The migration from cities to suburbs B The biological community in urban areas C The mammals of the American countryside D The history of American suburbs
2 The author implies that the mammals of the "suburban forest" differ from most species of trees there in which of the following ways?
A They were not deliberately introduced B They are considered undesirable by humans
C They are represented by a greater number of species D They have not fully adapted to suburban conditions The word “thoroughfares” is closet in meaning to
A neighborhoods B lawns C open spaces D streets
4 Which of the following conclusions about squirrels is supported by information in the passage? A The competition among the three species is intense
B Fox squirrels are more common than grey or red squirrels C Two species of squirrels seldom inhabit the same suburb
D The reasons why squirrels well in the suburbs are unknown The word "thrive" is closest in meaning to
A remain B flourish C reproduce D survive The word "odd" is closest in meaning to
