Read the passage and circle the best option A, B, C, or D to complete the following questions or statements:
Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to outstandingly well Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person is born with Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be develop The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s ability to well However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and
opportunities As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly birth and brought up by different parents They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment.
One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.
This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability The more favorable the environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed However, there is no link between intelligence and socioeconomic level of a child’s family In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect the intelligence.
Gifted people can not be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them One
professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining.
People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice: + Marry an intelligent person.
+ Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents. + Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.
+ Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instrument is essential for a child who wants to become an outstanding musician.

Read the passage and circle the best option A, B, C, or D to complete the following questions or statements:
Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300 By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct. What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of
extinction Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed.

C A statement and an illustration D Specific and general information 15: What does the word “this” refer to in the passage?
A Killing animals for personal satisfaction B Interest in material gain C Bengal tiger D The decrease in the Bengal tiger population 16: Where in the passage does the author discuss a cause of extinction?
A Lines 5-7 B Lines 8-10 C Lines 11-17 D Lines 1-3 17: Which of the following could best replace the word “allocated”?

circumstances of the last half of the 19th century were accompanied by the development of a national literature of great abundance and variety New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new audiences all emerged in the literature of this half century
As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature had evolved remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest No longer was it produced, at least in its popular forms, in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young people the only central characters in its narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle class women
In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work, each state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes the world connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all nations." At the same time, these years saw the emergence of what has been designated "the literature of argument," powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit of exposure and reform Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as an autonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literature establish itself as a producer of major works.
41 The word evolved in line is closest in meaning to _
(A) became famous (B) turned back (C) changed (D) diminished 42 The word it in line refers to

(A) For variety in a lengthy paragraph (B) To emphasize the contrast he is making
(C) To wind down his argument (D) To show a favorable attitude to these forms of literature 44 The word exotic in line 12 is closest in meaning to _
(A) well-known (B) unusual (C) urban (D) old-fashioned 45 The phrase these years in line 16 refers to _
(A) the present (B) the 1900s (C) the early 1800s (D) 1850-1900
46 All of the following can be inferred from the passage about the new literature EXCEPT
(A) It was not highly regarded internationally (B) It broke with many literary traditions of the past
(C) It introduced new American themes, characters, and settings (D) It spoke to the issue of reform and change

Is this simply nostalgia? Or is it rather that we need to believe in an image of the world which is (59) - the opposite of what we see around us? Whichever it is, at least it leaves us with a nagging feeling that the present could be better, and perhaps (60) - us to be a little more critical about the way we live
