impatience 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 The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in the early 20th century, when the suffragettes won for women the right to vote In the 1960s feminism became the subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as employment and pay Since then, the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced The Equal Pay Act of 1970, for instance, made it illegal for women to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs In the same year the Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for women need to be made Women now have much better employment opportunities, though they still tend to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry In the US the movement that is often called the “first wave of feminism” began in the mid-1800s Susan B Anthony worked for the right to vote, Margaret Sanger wanted to provide women with the means of contraception so that they could decide whether or not to have children, and Elizabeth Blackwell, who had to fight for the chance to become a doctor, wanted women to have greater opportunities to study Many feminists were interested in other social issues The second wave of feminism began in the 1960s Women like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem became associated with the fight to get equal rights and opportunities for women under the law An important issue was the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which was intended to change the Constitution Although the ERA was not passed, there was progress in other areas It became illegal for employers, schools, clubs, etc to discriminate against women But women still find it hard to advance beyond a certain point in their careers, the so-called glass ceiling that prevents them from having highlevel jobs Many women also face the problem of the second shift, i.e the household chores In the 1980s, feminism became less popular in the US and there was less interest in solving the remaining problems, such as the fact that most women still earn much less than men Although there is still discrimination, the principle that it should not exist is widely accepted Question 34: It can be inferred from paragraph that in the 19th century, _ A suffragettes fought for the equal

developing the ability to perform new behaviors It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished They learn social skills for interacting with other children After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other humanservice workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences 18 There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills (Extracted from Microsoft® Student 2009 – DVD Version) Question 11: According to the passage, which of the following is

Before you eat any cereal, read the ingredient list and see how (36) _ sugar appears on the ingredient list Then check the “Nutrition facts” panel There are actually only a small handful of national commercially-branded cereals that are made (37) _ whole grains and are sugar-free From “Foods That Burn Fat, Foods That Turn to Fat” by Tom Ventulo Question 33:A to lay Question 34: A charge Question 35: A Most Question 36: A tall Question 37: A by B laying B average B Mostly B large B from C lay C cost C Almost C high C at D laid D expense D Furthermost D many D in 42 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 Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety Instead, critics of globalization believe aspects of the way globalization operates should be changed The debate over globalization is about what the best rules are for governing the global economy so that its advantages can grow while its problems can be solved On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international trade and investment, allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater freedom of choice With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich countries to the developing countries Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced taxes make goods produced at low cost from faraway places cheaper to buy Producers of goods gain by selling to a wider market More competition keepssellers on their toes and allows ideas and new technology to spread and benefit others On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty, inequality, social conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage They say that the most developed nations – the United States, Germany, and Japan – succeeded not because of free trade but because of protectionism and subsidies They argue that the more recently successful economies of South Korea, Taiwan, and China all had strong state-led development strategies that did not follow neoliberalism These critics think that government encouragement of “infant industries” – that is, industries that are just beginning to develop – enables a country to become internationally competitive Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of money from speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles These bubbles are characterized by the rapid inflow of foreign funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property values When the economy cannot sustain such expectation, the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out of the country Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization itself but rather against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment The question raised by nongovernmental organizations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization will result in a rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of lowering living standards and undermining environmental regulations One of the key problems of the 21st century will be determining to what extent markets should be regulated to promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution of public goods on a global scale.From “Globalization” by Tabb, William K., Microsoft ® Student 2009 [DVD] Question 38:It is stated in the passage that A the protests of globalization are directed against globalization itself B the United States, Germany, and Japan succeeded in helping infant industries C supporters of globalization stress the benefits of removing trade barriers D critics of globalization say that the successful economies are all in Asia Question 39:Supporters of free-market globalization point out that A consumers can benefit from cheaper products B.there will be less competition among producers C taxes that are paid on goods will be increased D investment will be allocated only to rich countries Question 40: The word “allocated” in the passage mostly means “ _” A removed B solved C offered D distributed Question 41: The phrase “keeps sellers on their toes” in the passage mostly means “ ” A makes sellers responsive to any changes B allows sellers to stand on their own feet C forces sellers to go bare-footed D prevents sellers from selling new products Question 42: According to critics of globalization, several developed countries have become rich because of A their neo-liberal policies B their help to developing countries C their prevention of bubbles D their protectionism and subsidies Question 43: Infant industries mentioned in the passage are 43 A successful economies B young companies C development strategies D young industries Question 44: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology Deep inside the brain there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of the body’s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”) This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of a person’s internal body clock with clocks in the external world Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity To make matters more complex, not all 48 internal body functions adjust at the same rate So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day That is why travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights When flying west, you are “extending” your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock Flying eastward will involve “shrinking” or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural tendency One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted There are many reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone Question 31: The main function of the body clock is to _ A govern all the body’s responses B regulate the body’s functions C help us sleep D help us adapt to a 24-hour cycle Question 32: The word “It” refers to _ A the programme B the body clock C the function D the brain Question 33: The word “malady” is closest in meaning to A illness B bore C thought D feeling Question 34: The direction you fly in _ A helps you sleep better B alters your body’s natural rhythms C affects the degree of jet lag D extends or shrinks your body clock Question 35: According to the article, _ A various factors stop us sleeping when we fly B travelers complain about the negative effects of flying C flying seriously affects your judgment and decision-making D jet lag can affect different abilities differently Question 36: On the subject of avoiding jet lag the article _ A makes no suggestion B says there is nothing you can C proposes gradually adjusting your body clock 49 D suggests changing the time on your watch Question 37: According to the author, which of the following reasons disrupt travelers’ sleep? A Travelers try to sleep between 3-5 p.m B Travelers’ attention is reduced by 75 percent C The traveler’s internal circadian clock has to adjust to patterns of light and activity D Travelers fly in the natural direction of their internal clock Question 38: It can be inferred from the passage that _ A travelers have to spend more money flying westward than eastward B there are more travelers in westward flights than in eastward ones C westward travelers become friendlier than eastward ones D travelers not sleep as well in eastward flights as in westward ones Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on

buy a house in that district for less than $ 100,000 Question 41: To get to work on time, they have to leave at 6.00 a.m A They always leave for work at 6.00 a.m B Getting to work on time, for them, means leaving at 6.00 am C They have to leave very early to catch a bus to work D Leaving at 6.00 am, they have never been late for work 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 following questions 50 The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal Other solid material such as silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures Also, some substances such as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water The ability of metals to conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond together In order to bond together the metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost electrons This leaves the metal atoms with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions The lost electrons are free to move in what are known as a sea of electrons Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and this is what keeps the structure together An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free to move they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such as a battery is connected to the metal Hence we have an electric current flowing through the wire, and this is what makes metals such good conductors of electricity The only other common solid conducting material that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite (what the ‘lead’ of a pencil is made from) Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond in such a way that there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric current Likewise, if we have an ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to create a current but only when those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water In its solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they contain no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain not flow easily Water itself is a poor conductor or electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully charged particles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral) However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water Many of the problems that occur when touching electrical devices with wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our skin through perspiration and it dissolves in the water to make it more conductive By Helena Gillespie and Rob Gillespie Science for Primary
