For years, newspaper reports have been 32 saying that children who spend too much time playing computer games become unsociable, bad- tempered, even violent as a 33 result But new research, 34 carried out in both Europe and the USA, suggests that the opposite may be true Indeed, playing some of the more complicated games may help people of all ages to improve certain skills Researchers claim that this is because the games 35 make the brain work harder in certain ways, like 36 noticing sounds and movements quickly and identifying what they are The fact that people play the games repeatedly 37 means that they get a lot of practice in these skills which are therefore likely to become highly developed Social skills may benefit, too Researchers in Chicago think that fans of first- person shooter games (38 such as) “Counterstrike” are better than non-players when it comes to building trust and cooperation, and that this (39 helps )them to make good friendships and become strong members of their communities So rather than (40 giving) up computer games, perhaps young people need to spend more time on them?

A The function of the voice in performance B Communication styles C The connection between voice and personality D The production of speech Question 42 What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen" in lines 8- 9? A Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are B The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words C A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication D Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas Question 43 The word "Here" in line refers to _ A interpersonal interactions B the tone C ideas and feelings D words chosen Question 44 The word "derived" in line 13 is closest in meaning to _ A discussed B prepared C registered D obtained Question 45 Why does the author mention "artistic, political, or pedagogic communication" in line 14-15? (7) A As examples of public performance B As examples of basic styles of communication C To contrast them to singing D To introduce the idea of self-image Question 46 According to the passage, an exuberant tone of voice may be an indication of a person's A general physical health B personality C ability to communicate D vocal quality Question 47 According to the passage, an overconfident front may hide _ A hostility B shyness C friendliness D strength Question 48 The word "drastically" in line 21 is closest in meaning to _ A frequently B exactly C severely D easily Question 49 The word "evidenced" in line 22 is closest in meaning to _ A questioned B repeated C indicated D exaggerated Question 50 According to the passage, what does a constricted and harsh voice indicate?

A Their physical characteristics B Their adaptation to different habitats C Their names D Their variety Question 63: The author mentions tropical Asia in lines 16-17 as an example of a location where _ A butterfly behavior varies with climate B a general theory of butterfly diversity has not yet been firmly established C butterflies are affected by human populations D documenting plant species is more difficult than documenting butterfly species Question 64: The word "generated" in line 24 is closest in meaning to _ A requested B caused C assisted D estimated Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction Question 65: All of the mammals, dolphins are undoubtedly among the friendly to human A B C D Question 66: Many of the important products obtained from trees, one of the most important is (9) A B C wood pulp, which is used in paper-making D Question 67: All nations may have to make fundamental changes in their economic, political, and A B the technological institutions if they are to preserve environment C D Question 68: Chicago's Sears Tower, now the tallest building in the world, rises 1,522 feet from the A B C ground to the top of it antenna D Question 69: It was suggested that Pedro studies the material more thoroughly before attempting A B C to pass the exam D Question 70: In just three months H.G Wells wrote the famous classic The Time Machine for what A B C he won a Newberry Caldecot award D Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions Question 71: If it hadn’t been for his carelessness, we would have finished the work A He was careless because he hadn’t finished the work B If her were careful, we would finish the work C If he had been more careful, we would have completed the work D Because he wasn’t careless, we didn’t finish the work Question 72: The hostess made every effort to see that her guests got the food and drinks they wanted A The hostess was reluctant to offer her guests food and drinks B The hostess tried hard to please her guests C The guests refused the food and drinks prepared by the hostess D Neither the guests nor the hostess had food or drinks Question 73: The meeting was put off because of pressure of time A The meeting started earlier because people wanted to leave early B The meeting was planned to start late because of time pressure C The meeting lasted much longer than usual D There was not enough time to hold the meeting Question 74: Twice as many men as women are insurance agents (10) A More men than women have insurance B Male insurance agents outnumber female agents D Insurance is twice as difficult to sell to women as to men Question 75: Most people get fewer colds in the summer than in the winter A A person is more likely to get a cold in the winter than in the summer B More people have summer colds than winter colds C People get colder in the summer than in the winter D The winter is much colder than the summer Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that expresses the best meaning formed by the given words Question 76: No/ doubt/ Alison/ promote A It’s no doubt Alison will be promoting B There’s no doubt that Alison will be promoted C There’s no doubt Alison will promote D It’s no doubt that Alison is promoted Question 77: your organization/ possible/ conference/ place A Your organization made it possible to take place this conference B Your organization made possible for this conference to take place C Your organization made it possible this conference to take place D Your organization made it possible for this conference to take place Question 78: when/ you/ make/ mind/ university/ attend?

(30) A The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources B How energy resources are tapped from nature C Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized D Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide Question 62 According to the passage, why should we consider using alternative energy sources ? A Because fossil fuels are no longer available B Because global warming has increased the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth C Because they are free and available worldwide D Because conventional energy resources are being depleted, and they cause environmental damage Question 63 Which of the following words could best replace the word “ harnessing” A Capturing B Harassing C Depleting D Exporting Question 64 According to the passage, what can be inferred about solar roof tiles? A They are being used in many undeveloped countries C They are more expensive than solar panels B They can convert geothermal energy to electricity D They contain photovoltaic cells Question 65 According to the passage, how is solar energy production similar to geothermal energy production ? A They both require the use of a generator B They both use heat from the earth’s surface C They both require fairly simple technology D They are both conventional and costly Question 66 Where is the best place in the passage to insert the following sentence: “ Although the US is not utilizing geothermal resources to this extent, the Western US has a similar capacity to generate geothermal power” A after the phrase ” earth-friendly” B after the phrase “ growing steadily” C after the phrase “ by geothermal power” D after the phrase “ global scale” Question 67 According to the passage, which of the following is true about solar power ? A There is very little of it available in Iceland B It is being used in 100, 000 private homes worldwide C It is 6,000 times more powerful than energy from fossil fuels D There is enough of it to far exceed the energy needs of the world Question 68 What can be inferred about the use of geothermal energy in Iceland?
