people who had been falsely accused of committing the crimes

I imagined myself like those lawyers on TV, arguing

with the judge and the prosecution lawyer and convincing to

the jury that my client was innocent After only a couple of

What happens to these computerized numbers ? They are distributed to a network of government agencies and business (5) can use them to invade our privacy The Internal Revenue Service stores millions of facts about every citizen Credit agencies exchange (6) on the spending and saving practices of nearly every American adult Mailing lists are (7) _ available by computers to dozens of organizations, public and private, who bombard us with unwanted mail

Just let the computer which stores (8) concerning our accounts, let us say with a credit card company, make an error and it is almost impossible to correct it The result is an

avalanche of bills, threads, and loss of credit standing

The computer has thrown thousands of people out of (9) The gamut of computer- generated unemployed runs from highly skilled technicians to typists

These are some of the reasons why I feel that the (10) of the computer has been detrimental to the quality of our life in the twentieth century

A Prepare yourself

B The benefits of the sport C When things go wrong D Different skating techniques E A change in approach

F The right attitude G Moving off

H Holding your body correctly I How it all started

1………

Ice skating has a history of thousands of years Archaeologists have discovered skates made from animal bone It seems that bone skates were used until the introduction of iron into

Scandinavia about the year 200 AD Among the Scandinavian upper classes, skating was seen as an essential skill

2 ………

In the early twentieth century, skating was stylish and reserved, but at the 1924 Winter

Olympics, 11-year-old Sonja Hinnies introduced a more athletics attitude which inspired a new wave of popularity Nowadays art and athletics are combined and modern skating is both graceful and physically demanding

For beginners, balance and control are all important and speed can only increase with

proficiency The position of your body plays a great part in balance Legs slightly bowed and the knees bent keep the body weight centered; in effect the body leans slightly forward in this position For skating, probably more than any other sport or recreation, relaxation is vital ………

For the skating position, the heels should almost be touching and the feet should be turned out wards While pushing toward with a back foot, you make a very small movement with the other foot Fairly easy, isn’t it? If you can keep this up for a while, you can then slowly increase the length of your movements as you gain experience

5 ………

Knowing how to fall must be learnt among the skater’s first skills Even the best of the professionals fall In order to fall without injury, you should be as relaxed as possible In this way the sock of hitting the ice is lessened To get up, use your hands to get into a kneeling position, then stand

6 ………

One you have learnt to move on the ice with confidence, there are various styles to be

practised-figure skating, free styles, distance, speed, skating pairs, and so on- but the basics of them all, and by far the best approach, it first to learn figures can soon be learn figure skating and then elementary freestyle With proper guidance available at most of the ice rinks, the basic figures can soon be learnt and the turns, jumps, and spins or elementary free style will so follow

7 ………

If you look at any good of professional skater, you will see how relaxed they are and how easily they move To achieve this, an exercise program should be regularly practised It can be

dangerous to skate with a stiff body and warm up exercises should at least include those for the legs, back and shoulders, with special emphasis on the ankles and the knees After a long or intense session, the same exercises should be used afterwards to avoid stiffness

8………

Skating improves balance, co-ordination, relaxation and movement It improves heart and lung activity and generally strengthens the body Combined with swimming or jogging, it provides a great program for all-round health and fitness

PART 3: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow Write A, B, C or D to indicate your answers on the answer sheet ( 10 points)

The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of the universe In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides At these times the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month

1 What is the main point of the first paragraph?

A The waves created by ocean currents are very large

B Despite the strength of the wind, it only moves surface water C Deep ocean water is seldom affected by forces that move water

D The tides are the most powerful force to affect the movement of ocean water The words "In reality" in the passage is closest in meaning to

A surprisingly B actually C characteristically D similarly

3 It can be inferred from the passage that the most important factor in determining how much gravitational effect one object in space has on the tides is

A size B distance C temperature D density The word "configuration" in the passage is closest in meaning to

A unit B center C surface D arrangement Neap tides occur when

A the Sun counteracts the Moon's gravitational attraction B the Moon is full

C the Moon is farthest from the Sun

D waves created by the wind combine with the Moon's gravitational attraction III WRITING:

Tens of thousands of ancient pictures carved into the rocks at one of France’s most important tourist sites are being gradually destroyed Scientists and researchers fear that the 36.000 drawings on rocks in Mont Bego in the French Alps are being damaged so rapidly that they will not survive for future generations

The mountain, believed to have once been a site for prayer and worship, is scattered with 4,000 year-old drawings cut into bare rock They include pictures of cows with horns, cultivated fields and various gods and goddesses But as the popularity of the site increases, the pictures are being ruined by thoughtless graffiti

Jean Clottes is the chairman of the International Committee on Rock Art He says, “People think that because the picture have been there so long they will always continue to be there But if the damage continues as this rate there will be nothing left in 50 years.”

He describes seeing tourists stamping on the drawings, wearing away the rock and definition of the artwork as they so Some visitors, he says, even chop off parts to take home as souvenirs “When people think they can’t take a good enough photograph, they rub the drawings to get a clearer picture,” he said “The drawings are polished by the weather, and if the sun is shining and the visitors

preventing the public from going there except on guided tours Otherwise, he says, not only will the site be completely destroyed but important research work will be reduced Clottes disagrees “The measure proposed by Henry de Lumley is the most severe, and while it is the most effective, it is also certain to bring about protests from people who live there,” he said “The site was classified as a historic monument years ago by the Ministry of Culture, and we must as much as possible to save what is there.”

can’t see them properly they simply rub and scrape them to make them look fresher.”

Other researchers describe hoe people arrive carrying long sticks with sharp ends to scratch their own drawings, or even their names, in the rock But experts are divided over the best way to preserve the drawings Henry de Lumley, director of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, believes that the only way to save the site is to turn the whole mountain into a “no-go” area,

rapidly She thinks that the only solution is to rope off the area and provide guides “You can’t say the plan can’t go ahead because there is no money,” he said “That is not good enough Money must be provided because the Ministry of Culture has classified this area as a historic site If we don’t take steps, we will be responsible for losing the drawings for the next generation.”

A Read the text below and then answer the questions - (10 points) The World and Its Global Economy

The world as man knows it today is getting smaller and smaller because of technology such as the Internet and high speed modems In fact, on March 3, 2005, a man flew entirely around the globe without refueling or stopping in a one-person jet The world is changing the world, and as

the 21st century continues, the global economy will play a larger and larger role As Thomas

Friedman so eloquently put it in Lexus and the Olive Tree, globalization is "the inexorable integration of markets, nation-states, and technologies to a degree never witnessed before."

A With today's technology it is possible for people to solicit business from the far side of the

globe B A company like Dell Computers can order parts from several different countries, take

shipment in North Carolina where the new computers will be assembled, and then ship them to

all regions of the globe C An American oil firm can a satellite survey in Siberia for oil deposits

and then contract with a Russian oil firm to drill the actual well, while the petroleum engineer, acting as the project supervisor, remains in the US and runs the project by using a computer, a

high speed Internet connection, and a cellular telephone for quick questions D

A global economy poses some serious problems If a company doesn't act fast enough, it can lose, and if the company loses heavily, what will happen to the employees working for the company, and then in turn what will happen to the stores that depend on those employees buying their goods? As can be seen, there is a definite trickle-down effect How is the child who is about to graduate from high school supposed to decide on what career field to enter? A career field that is here today might be gone long before the child can graduate from college, so not only does it become vital that a person gain the needed knowledge to enter a given career field, but the person also needs to learn how to learn Learning how to learn may prove to be even more necessary than the knowledge needed to enter a given career field A person who is good at learning how to learn can quickly adapt to changes in the global economy by quickly preparing to enter other career fields if his job is here today, but gone in the morning

If the world turns into a global economy, a person will need to be able to get along and work with people from different cultural backgrounds However, unless a person has spent time living in different parts of the world, this might be hard to While many students from foreign countries, especially the Asian countries, come to the US to earn a graduate degree, how many students from the US spend even a semester abroad studying in another country? The answer to this question is of course a very small percentage

On the positive side, as prices rise due to increased demands on scarce resources, there will be an incentive to find affordable alternatives For example, as the price of oil rises and along with it the price of a gallon of gasoline, a point will be reached at which people are no longer willing to purchase gasoline so they can drive their cars, and they will demand both alternative transportation methods and cars which use another source of energy A current online survey says $2.50 per gallon of gasoline is the point at which the people in the US will start making demands on the auto manufacturer, which will open up new career fields in a few countries that have the technology needed to meet the demands; however, people around the globe will work together on it

1 The word “inexorable” in the passage is closest in meaning to

A upward B recent C inevitable D preposterous

2 The word “solicit” in the passage is closest in meaning to

A lure B sell C help D ask for

3 According to par.2, what can be inferred about the role of a project supervisor? A To make sure the project is finished correctly and on time

B To hand-check each of the steps in a project

C To assign each of the items that needs to be done in a project D To talk to everyone on a daily basis

4 According to the passage, people need to learn how to learn, otherwise

A they will not move from the first grade to the second grade in elementary school B they will not be able to work in the same job throughout college

C they will not be able to switch from one career to another as the global economy changes D they will not be able to graduate from college and become a member of the global economy Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the underlined sentence in

the passage?

A The mass media are like a witch stirring her cauldron

B The mass media always report the truth since this keeps the ratings up and brings in the most

advertising revenue

C The mass media will report half-truths if it will keep their ratings up so they can sell advertising

D The mass media report every angle of a story since reports are apolitical and never present

only one viewpoint

project the car as a symbol of wealth

C The media slant the stories, so it will appear to viewers that only wealthy people own a car

D The members of the media don't own cars, so they are jealous of those wealthy people who

own cars

The Internet and technology are making the world a smaller and smaller place today, and this is creating a global economy

• • •

A As Thomas Friedman so eloquently put it in Lexus and the Olive Tree, globalization is "the inexorable integration of markets, nation-states, and technologies to a degree never witnessed before,"

B A global economy poses some serious problems and if a company doesn't act fast enough, it can lose, and if the company loses heavily, the employees working for the company and the stores that depend on those employees buying their goods can go out of business C A person who is good at learning how to learn can quickly adapt to changes in the global

economy by quickly preparing to enter other career fields, if his job is here today but gone in the morning

D A career field that is here today might be gone long before the child can graduate from college, so it becomes vital E People are always going to be willing to pay any price they need to pay in order to buy

something they want, which is why the price of gasoline will not be a factor in the global economy

F Individuals from some foreign countries, some individuals from the US and the US economy will adjust to globalization, but the real question is, how is the rest of the world going to react to living in a global economy?
