Passage 1
New Delhi - If all the people waiting to have a toilet in their homes in India were to
form a queue, the line would have 774 million people and stretch to the moon, the non-profit
group WaterAid said in a report released on the eve of the UN World Toilet Day on
Thursday.
The study titled It's No Joke: The State of the World's Toilets 2015 highlights health
problems faced by 2.3 billion people across the world who do not have access to safe private
toilets. "Diarrhea is one of the three most common killers of young children globally, along
with pneumonia and malaria. Most of these deaths - 58% of them - could be prevented by
clean water, sanitation and good hygiene including hand washing with soap," the report said.
Cities in India have been growing at an incredible pace. Unserviced slums, combined
with a cultural preference for defecation in open spaces, mean the country has 774 million
people now waiting for household toilets. The report also ranked India first among countries
having the most people defecating in the open per km 2.
The resulting health crisis is serious with more than 140,000 children under 5 dying
each year in India from diarrhea. 40% of all children have stunted growth and there are high
rates of maternal and newborn mortality.
31. The moon is mentioned in the study in order to _________.
1. tell the reader the distance between the moon and the earth
2. imply that the Indian populations is growing faster than any other country
3. make fun of Indian people who have no access to private toilets
4. make the reader feel how serious the problem being discussed is
5. convince the reader that the study has been scientifically conducted
32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
1. India‟s infant mortality rate tops other nations.
2. WaterAid‟s main mission is to improve the life of Indian people.
3. Indian culture is partly to blame for the high number of deaths from diarrhea.
4. According to the study, India‟s open space is shrinking considerably.
5. The number of Indian people lacking home toilets is likely to come down.
33. The word “safe” can best be replaced by _________.
1. sturdy

Passage 2
This year, Jennifer Lawrence topped the Forbes list of highest-paid actresses. The 25year-old gave her final performance as Katniss Everdeen, in Mockingjay Part 2, the last film
of the Hunger Games series. The world has watched Lawrence grow up on screen over the
years of the series. “I love being part of a film that can spark conversation,” Lawrence says.
“It‟s been such an incredible chapter in my life.”
The Oscar winner has also sparked conversation as an advocate for equal pay for
women and men in her industry. Lawrence wrote an online essay on the pay gap in
Hollywood, titled “Why Do I Make Less Than My Male Co-Stars?” Earlier in the year,
hackers released private Sony e-mails that revealed that she was paid less for acting in the
movie American Hustle than her male co-stars. She says she blamed herself for not being a
tougher negotiator. Since her essay went public, other actresses have come out protesting
their comparatively small paychecks.
Throughout her career, Lawrence has also worked to try to promote healthy body
images. When she took on the role of Katniss in the Hunger Games series, she refused to
appear unhealthy on camera. Though the book, written by Suzanne Collins, describes Katniss
as very thin, Lawrence did not waver in her commitment to maintaining her healthy, strong
body.
34. All the following adjectives apply to Jennifer Lawrence EXCEPT _________.
1. health-conscious
2. outspoken
3. aggressive
4. feminist
5. determined
35. According to the passage, it can be inferred that _________.
1. thanks to Lawrence‟ essay, she has become Hollywood‟s highest-paid actress
2. Lawrence‟s essay angered her colleagues who were paid less than her
3. Sony didn‟t want its e-mail messengers about payments to be made public
4. Lawrence was angry with her male co-stars in American Hustle for unequal pay
5. Lawrence‟s essay was accidentally made public without her consent
36. What message does the writer want to convey in the last paragraph?
1. Lawrence was not suitable for the role of Katniss because she wasn‟t thin enough.
2. The producers should have made Lawrence lose weight to make her healthier.
3. The series‟ writer wasn‟t pleased that Lawrence didn‟t make an effort to look thin.
4. Lawrence maintained her good health even though her role required her to look the
opposite.
5. Lawrence wants the public to remember her for her beautiful looks.

Passage 3
In 1911 the United States Postal Service (USPS) offered savings accounts to
customers too poor or too suspicious to bank elsewhere. The innovation followed the stock
market collapse and a run on banks in 1907. Immigrants flocked to the accounts: In 1917
some 70 percent of postal savings accounts were opened by newcomers, although those
groups made up only 14 percent of the population. By 1966, however, the service was
terminated because of a gradual decline in popularity and competition from traditional banks.
A January report by the USPS inspector general proposed bringing postal banking
back as a way to solve two problems: strengthen the independent agency‟s fragile finances
as well as provide banking services in communities that are notoriously underserved by the
financial sector. The report says that some 34 million households (a quarter of all American
families) do not have a bank account, and the average household in this group spends $2,412
a year on interest and fees when using other financial services. The Postal Service already
processes money orders, debit card transactions and international wire transfers.
The majority of post offices (59 percent) are in zip codes with zero or one bank
branch, and post offices are positioned to fill the gap: they are widespread, under-utilized and
could offer services without the high fees that traditional banks charge for low-balance
accounts. The inspector general concludes that postal banking could bring in an estimated
$8.9 billion a year.
37. The phrase „the independent agency‟ refers to the _________.
1.
US federal government
2. US Postal Service
3.
financial sector
4. inspector general
5. stock market
38. The passage mentions $2,412 spent by an average household a year probably in order to
_________.
1.
support one of the reasons why postal banking should be revived
2.
show that commercial banks charge excessive fees
3.
reveal how a commercial bank earns its extra income
4.
explain why some people don‟t have a bank account
5. show that banking services need to be improved
39. A community that is „underserved by the financial sector‟ _________.
1. is populated by poor people
2. is in a zip code ending with a zero
3. may not have a commercial bank nearby
4. does not welcome financial companies
5. has not received enough financial support from the State

Passage 4
(1) In a recent study, researchers asked 75,000 Chinese women ages 40 to 70 whether
they exercised when they were between 13 and 19 years old, and if so, how much they
exercised. The researchers also examined the women's general lifestyle habits, including
exercise, in adulthood. They then followed the women for almost 13 years, examining how
many of them died from cancer, cardiovascular disease and other causes. During the study,
5,282 of the women died, including 2,375 who died from cancer and 1,620 who died from
cardiovascular disease.
(2) The researchers found that the women in the study who did at least some exercise
as teens, up to 80 minutes weekly, had a 16 percent lower risk of death from cancer, and a 15
percent lower risk of dying from any causes over the 13-year study than the women who did
not exercise at all during adolescence. However, doing more exercise was not linked with any
additional benefit, in terms of longevity. The women who exercised for more than 80 minutes
weekly during their teen years had a 13 percent lower risk of dying from all causes during the
study period, compared with those who did not exercise in adolescence.
(3) "Our results support the importance of promoting exercise participation in
adolescence to reduce mortality in later life and highlight the critical need for the initiation of
disease prevention early in life," Sarah J. Nechuta said.
(4) The study also found that for women who exercised both when they were teens
and as adults, the risk of dying from any cause during the study was 20 percent lower than for
those who did not exercise at all. The former group‟s risk of dying from cardiovascular
disease was 17 percent lower, and their risk of dying from cancer was 13 percent lower, than
women who did not exercise.
(5) While the study found an association, it is not clear whether exercising during
adolescence can actually cause lower mortality later in life. _________, multiple mechanisms
are likely involved in the link seen in the study, Nechuta said. "One potential mechanism is
that if you exercise as an adolescent, you may be more likely to exercise as an adult, and you
may be more likely to have healthy behaviors that then contribute to the reduced risk of
death," she told Live Science.
