Education is an issue which concerns many people in the UK as well as round the world In England, Wales and Northern Ireland pupils sit GCSE (General Certificate in Secondary Education) exams followed years later by A (Advanced) levels Pupils in Scotland follow a different system, finishing their time at school with the Higher Leaving Certificate One particular worry - why are boys doing so badly?
Some twenty years ago, the performance of girls and boys in class was compared Boys scored better in exams, so various measures were introduced to improve the performance of girls, including having single sex girl-only classes Now, the situation is reversed, with girls consistently out-performing boys
So, what has gone wrong with boys, and what can be done about it? John Dunsford, leader of the association of head teachers of secondary schools, says that that the academic failure of boys is a problem which has its roots in society rather than the classroom Girls, more than boys, see education as a passport to a good job On the other hand, according to Penny Lewis, a head teacher, young men lack confidence, which they hide with a show of bravado They’re uncertain about their place in society Some boys grow up in families where there is no male role model to follow
Moreover, boys may learn in a different way to girls, preferring small amounts of work with immediate deadlines rather than large projects stretching into the distance And education is not seen as “cool”
(6)watching the future while the boys are watching the girls.”
This is not just a problem in Britain In a study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and UNESCO, girls out-performed boys at reading at the age of 15 in all 45 countries The UK ranks ninth out of the 45 countries for reading despite the fact that pupils in the UK spend less time reading than in most other countries Interestingly, the study suggested that British children read for pleasure more often than those in other countries
(Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/news/britain/education.shtml) Question 36: Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A Boys have always scored better in exams than girls
B Boys pay too much attention to girls to learn well at school C Boys don’t well at school because of what happens in class D Boys prefer to work on large projects
Question 37: What does the author mean by the phrase “see education as a passport” in the passage? A Girls try their best to avoid drifting out of school without qualifications and be better at socializing B Girls see education as a means of broading their knowledge and exposuring to diverse cultures C Girls regard education as a way of enabling them to go further and more in life
D Girls think that learning is the key to the opportunity to go to many countries in the world Question 38: Some boys are not sure of themselves because of
A their lack of family support B their financial capability C their low self-esteem D their family situations Question 39: What does the word “cool” in the passage mostly mean?

The economic growth that many nations in Asia and increasingly Africa have experienced over the past couple of decades has transformed hundreds of millions of lives – almost entirely for the better But there’s a byproduct to that growth, one that’s evident – or sometimes less than evident – in the smoggy, smelly skies above cities like Beijing, New Delhi and Jakarta Thanks to new cars and power plants, air pollution is bad and getting worse in much of the world, and it’s taking a major toll on global health
How big? According to a new analysis published in the Lancet, more than 3.2 million people suffered deaths from air pollution in 2010, the largest number on record That’s up from 800,000 in 2000 And it’s a regional problem: 65% of those deaths occurred in Asia, where the air is choked by diesel soot from cars and trucks, as well as the song from power plants and the dust from endless urban construction In East Asia and China, 1.2 million people died, as well as another 712,000 in South Asia, including India For the first time ever, air pollution is on the world’s top – 10 list of killers, and it’s moving up the ranks faster than any other factor
So how can air pollution be so damaging? It is the very finest soot – so small that it roots deep within the lungs and then enters the bloodstream – that contributes to most of the public – health toll of air pollution including death Diesel soot, which can also cause cancer, is a major problem because it is concentrated in cities along transportation zones affecting overpopulated areas It is thought to contribute to half the deaths from air pollution in urban centers For example, in people in the U.S live near a diesel – pollution hot spot like a rail yard, port terminal or freeway
We also know that air pollution may be linked to other non-deadly diseases Fortunately in the U.S and other developed nations, urban air is for the most part cleaner than it was 30 or 40 years ago, thanks to regulations and new technologies like the catalytic converters that reduce automobile emissions Govemments are also pushing to make air cleaner – see the White House’s move last week to further tighten soot standards It’s not perfect, but we’ve had much more success dealing with air pollution than climate change
Will developing nations like India eventually catch up? Hopefully – though the problem may get worse before it gets better The good news is that it doesn’t take a major technological advance to improve urban air Switching from diesel fuel to unleaded helps, as newer and cleaner cars which are less likely to send out pollutants Power plants – even ones that burn mineral fuels like coal – can be fitted with pollution – control equipment that, at a price, will greatly reduce smog and other pollutants
(8)Developing cities will almost certainly see an increase in car ownership as residents become wealthier – and that doesn’t have to mean deadly air pollution Higher incomes should also lead to tougher environmental regulations, which is exactly what happened in the West We can only hope it happens before the death toll from bad air gets even higher
(Source: http://science.time.com by Bryan Walsh) Question 43: What tends to give rise to the highest death toll according to the passage?
A The lack of tight environmental protection standards B The world’s serious air pollution such as soot and dust C The increasing numbers of the diesel cars and trucks D The frighteningly high death rate from deadly cancer
Question 44: The phrase “taking a major toll” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A making it possible B creating motivation
C having a bad effect D leading to danger
Question 45: All of the following statements are true according to the passage EXCEPT _ A The report found that the number of people suffering deaths from air pollution in 2010 is greater than that in 2000
B The tightening of the emission standards has helped people solve some of the immediate environmental problems, for example, tackle air pollution
C Many efforts have been put into the reduction of the emission of pollutants through the tightening of legislation on new vehicles
D Air pollution may have been responsible for our mental health problems and prematurely robbed us of our lives
Question 46: According to the passage, which of the following is an example of measure taken to help generate less emissions?
A Catalytic converters are applied to exhaust systems in automobiles B People increase the use of vehicles powered by mineral fuels C Many nations encourage people to avoid densely populated areas
D The government minimizes the number of people using car in major cities
Question 47: The word “byproduct” in paragraph most probably refers to
A consequence B solution C reform D design
(9)A the diesel soot is too small to be seen
B the diesel soot is much too poisonous to breathe C the diesel soot roots in lungs and gets into blood D the diesel soot can also contribute to deadly cancer
Question 49: According to the passage, the writer actually wants to convince the readers that A the global economic growth is mainly to blame for air pollution and climate change
B the developing countries are repeating the same mistakes as the developed ones made C the ecological situation and air pollution in India are becoming worse and worse D the unbeatable air is increasingly becoming a major killer throughout the world
Question 50: By describing urban design as “the best solutions” in the last paragraph, the writer means that
A the making of tougher environmental regulations alone is of little use B more sever regulations should be made to handle air pollution
C the urban construction in western developed countries is the best choice D the pace of development has to be slowed down to reduce air pollution

Many people have forgotten what the world was like before TV But today it has become an
integral part of our lives No medium can compare with TV as a means of information, entertainment and education TV now plays such an important role in so many people’s lives that it is essential for us to try to decide (36) _ it is bad or good

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep But now a study has found it really does help people nod off - if it is milked from a cow at night
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin, which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night

Global emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning jumped by the largest amount on record in 2010 Emissions rose 5.9 percent in 2010, according to an analysis released on Sunday by the Global Carbon Project
Scientists said the increase was almost certainly the largest absolute jump in any year since the Industrial Revolution The increase solidified a trend of ever-rising emissions that will make it difficult, if not impossible, to stop severe climate change in coming decades
The burning of coal represented more than half of the growth in emissions, the analysis found In the United States, emissions dropped by a remarkable percent in the year of 2009, but rose by over percent in 2010, the new analysis shows
“Each year, emissions go up, and there’s another year of negotiations, another year of indecision,” said Glen P Peters, a researcher at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research “There’s no evidence that this path we’ve been following in the last 10 years is going to change.”
(25)long-term risk But their increasingly urgent pleas that society find a way to limit emissions have met sharp political resistance in many countries because doing so would involve higher energy costs
The new figures show a continuation of a trend in which developing countries have surpassed the wealthy countries in their overall greenhouse emissions In 2010, the burning of fossil fuels and the production of cement sent more than nine billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, the new analysis found, with 57 percent of that coming from developing countries
On the surface, the figures of recent years suggest that wealthy countries have made headway in stabilizing their emissions But Dr Peters pointed out that, in a sense, the rich countries have simply exported some of them
The fast rise in developing countries has been caused to a large extent by the growth of energy-intensive manufacturing industries that make goods that rich countries import “All that has changed is the location in which the emissions are being produced,” Dr Peters said
Many countries, as part of their response to the economic crisis, invested billions in programs designed to make their energy systems greener While it is possible, the new numbers suggest they have had little effect so far
(Source: www.nytimes.com) Question 36: Many governments in the world resist limiting emissions because _
A it is not the best way to solve such problems B they don’t realize the risks of carbon emissions
C it would probably harm human welfare in the long run D they are unwilling to accept higher energy costs
Question 37: According to the passage, the report found that the combustion of coal accounts for _ of the increase in emissions
A more than half B one-third C only about percent D over percent Question 38: According to Glen P Peters, we can learn that _
A the rapid growth of emissions contributes to potential risks for humans B rich countries actually take more responsibility for the growth of emissions C human beings will follow the same path of negotiations in the next 10 years
D some countries negotiate together yearly whether to reduce the amounts of emissions Question 39: The word “urgent” in the passage is closest in meaning to
(26)Question 40: Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A Emissions in the United States dropped by about percent in 2010
B Developing countries will produce less emissions with economic development C There is a long way to go for many countries to limit the fast growth of emissions D Over 50 percent of the growth in emissions resulted from the burning of fossil fuels
Question 41: The phrase “On the surface” in the seventh paragraph means most nearly the same as
A Not thought about deeply or thoroughly B Just the tip of the iceberg C Judging from what can be seen D To all intents and purposes Question 42: What is the main idea of this passage?
A an analysis released by the Global Carbon Project
B the record jump in carbon dioxide emissions
C the possible climate change in future decades D the main harm of greenhouse gases

The Japan of the mid-nineteenth century was a shadow of the modern economic juggernaut that is now one of the world’s leading traders For hundreds of years, Japan had been secluded from the outside world by the strict policies of the rulers of Japan, the Tokugawa shoguns With the exception of one Dutch ship per year at the port of the Nagasaki, the Japanese refused to deal with foreign ships or nations Sailors shipwrecked on the Japanese islands were treated harshly and often imprisoned Passing vessels were refused food, water, and other provisions With a goal to right these wrongs and to open Japan to trade, in 1853, the United States sent its most capable man, Admiral Matthew Perry, and four warships to open Japan to the rest of the world The consequences of those actions are still being felt today
In the seventeenth century, the Japanese had opened their doors briefly to the Dutch and allowed a trading station and Christian enclave in Nagasaki Guns were imported as part of this trade, and they were one of the reasons for a great upheaval that engulfed Japan for many decades, as a civil war raged between powerful shoguns, or warlords Finally, Tokugawa emerged as the victor and claimed the lordship of Japan During these upheavals, the emperor and his family had stood by wielding no power and existed merely as a figurehead Soon after the civil war, the Japanese abandoned the use of guns and the art of the gun making When Admiral Perry and his fleet arrived in 1853, they were defenseless against his awesome firepower
(27)signed the Treaty of Kanagawa on March 31, 1854 In addition to the three main items, the Japanese agreed to allow an American consulate to be established At first, only Nagasaki was open to American trade, but the treaty stipulated that, after five years, other ports would be opened
The consequences of these events were far reaching for Japan and the world Within a few years, foreign currency began to flow to Japan, which upset its economy and caused rising inflation This was a precursor to the fall of the Tokugawa shoguns and the return of the emperor as the leader of Japanese affairs in 1868 The Emperor Meiji then set a clear path for his nation, not wanting Japan to be under the heel of the foreigners who now clamored at the heel of the foreigners of his land Meiji sent sailors to England to learn how to build ships and fight a modern naval war, invited German army officers to train his soldiers, and made deals with many companies to modernize Japan’s industry, transportation, and communications In fact, the efforts were so successful that, by the 1980s, the world began to view Japan as one of the great powers, more so after it defeated both China and Russia on land and at sea in two local wars The Russian defeat was even more astonishing since the Europeans were unused to losing to those they considered their inferiors
Japan’s rapid industrialized and militarization had dreadful consequences for Asia, as Meiji’s grandson Hirohito led the nation down the path to world war, which ultimately saw the destruction of much of Japan The shock of this defeat still echoes through Japanese history, as does the arrival of Perry and his warships so long ago His efforts opened Japan to the world Unknowingly, he unleashed a powerful force, with the Japanese not willing to be subjugated to foreign domination In the long run, Japan has become part of the global culture and has offered more to the world than could have ever been imagined when Perry’s ships first dropped anchor on that fateful day in the past
Question 43: According to paragraph 1, all of the following are correct about Japan’s dealings with foreigners in the mid-nineteenth century EXCEPT
A No ships were allowed to visit Japan B Shipwrecked sailors were badly treated C Ships in need were not helped by Japan D They had a very limited foreign trade Question 44: The world “secluded” in the passage is closest in meaning to _
A removed B hidden C isolated D reserved
Question 45: According to paragraph 2, during the Tokugawa shogun period, the Japanese emperor _
A was a symbol and not the real ruler of Japan B shared power with the shoguns but was secondary
C did not challenge the power of the shoguns D was quite unknown to the Japanese people Question 46: It can be inferred from paragraph that the Japanese abandoned gun making because guns _
A were the products of foreigners and thus forbidden
B were blamed for helping cause the long civil war
(28)Question 47: The word “they” in the passage refers to _
A powerful shoguns B the emperor and his family C the Japanese D Admiral Perry and his fleet
Question 48: According to paragraph 3, Admiral Perry’s mission to Japan eventually A achieved exactly what he wanted B failed to achieve any concrete objectives C achieved some but not all of his objectives D achieved more than he had expected
Question 49: According to paragraph 3, the Treaty of Kanagawa was agreed to by the Japanese A because they wanted to have relations with American
B against wishes under the threat of force of arms C in order to gain an advantage over the Americans D because the realized they could not be secluded forever
Question 50: According to paragraph 4, in order to modernize Japan, Emperor Meiji relied on A the expertise of his own people B educating his people in new skills
C experts from outside of Japan D the capital from trade links
