I have just returned to England from a holiday
in Spain, staying at the Bella Vista Hotel, and
I am writing to complain about a number of
points. Firstly, I was informed just before my
departure that the flight time for the outward
journey had been changed, so that instead of
arriving in the morning and being able to enjoy
the rest of the day at the resort, I arrived at
midnight. Then, contrary to the information
I had been sent, there was no representative to
meet me on arrival, so I had to take a taxi at a
cost of $25. I was also dissatisfied with the
Bella Vista Hotel. The lift was frequently out

There are many different kinds of sports in the
world. Some people do sports for their
career and other people do sports for pleasure.
Some sports, like cricket, require using a lot of
equipment, while others need very little in
order to play a game successfully. Some
people use public playing fields to play sport
for free, while other sports such as squash,
tennis, badminton and table tennis are usually
paid an hourly basis. The games are often
controlled by individuals known as umpires in
cricket and referees in sports like football and
rugby. Most sports usually last not more than a
few hours. However, a game of cricket can last
five days before a winner is announced. Some
people prefer to watch sport games on TV.
Some sports, such as football and cricket, are
really popular in the UK but not in the USA.
People often play basketball and baseball in the
USA. However, most countries compete in
world sporting events such as the Football
World Cup or the Olympics, which occur
every four years.
Not everything is actually as it seems.

People believe things about cats that might not
be true. These “myths” can confuse cat
owners. If you like cats, learn the facts and
fiction about them. Some people think that cats
need to drink milk. That is not true. If a cat eats
a good diet, it does not need to drink milk.
Does your cat drink milk? Most cats like milk,
but it can make them sick. Cats should only
have milk in small amounts. Have you heard
the one about garlic? People put garlic on cat
food. They believe it will get rid of worms in
the cat’s body. Does it work? Garlic makes
food taste richer. Garlic does nothing to
worms. It will give the cat bad breath! If your
cat has worms, take it to a vet and your cat will
be given medicine. The medicine will take care
of the worms. Some people think that cats’
whiskers help them to balance. Whiskers serve
as “feelers”. They do nothing at all for balance.
“Feelers” help the cat know about its
surroundings. Have you heard these myths
before? Do not believe them. Learn how to
care for cats. Read books and talk to your
veterinarian. Cats need good owners to care for
them.

D) When an onion is cut in water, it

Read the text and answer the questions
according to it.
Cutting an onion is not a very pleasant
experience. It may hurt your eyes and make
you cry. When you cut an onion, you break the
onion’s parts. Chemicals inside the onion are
released. These chemicals react with the water
in your eyes. There is a chemical reaction
which creates sulphuric acid. Your eyes
produce tears, which wash away the acid. A
good idea to prevent from this problem is to
use a sharp knife. Sharp knives do less damage
to the onion’s parts. So fewer chemicals are
released. This means that there is less pain in
your eyes. It isn’t a good idea to crush an onion
because this causes more damage to the parts.
More damage means more pain in your eyes.
The pain in your eyes doesn’t last long. A cold
onion releases fewer chemicals. So before you
cut an onion, put it in the freezer for a few
minutes. Another idea is to put the onion in
water when you cut it. So the chemicals won’t
go into the air and so they won’t hurt your eyes.

Shopping is a necessary part of life which very
few people can avoid. It is a daily routine for
some people. Some people go shopping for
pleasure while others go shopping just to buy
the necessary items. The weekend is usually a
good time to go shopping because people have
free time from work. Some people go shopping
more regularly than others to see products in
shops even when they do not buy anything.
This is known as window shopping which
allows people to plan ahead and save money
for the things they want to buy in the future.
Sometimes shopping can be stressful when
choosing a gift for other people on a special
7
occasion. It is common to buy a gift voucher so
that a friend or a loved one can go shopping
themselves.
Shopping
online
is
often popular with people who have a busy
lifestyle. Delivery is usually free and items are
often cheaper than in regular shops. The only
problem is that the description and quality of

Her parents knew that they needed help. They
hired a tutor for Helen. Her name was Anne
Sullivan. Success didn’t happen right away.
But one day at the water pump, a breakthrough
happened. Anne spelled the word water in
Helen’s hand. Helen began to catch on.
Suddenly, her brain was on fire. She reached
down to touch the ground, and Anne spelled
the word earth in her hand. She continued
pointing and learning. She learned to spell 30
words on that day. By the age of 10, Helen had
learned to speak by feeling her teacher’s mouth
when she talked. Some people couldn’t
understand Helen, but she kept trying. She
learned to read French, German, Greek, and
Latin in Braille. Braille is a way for people who
can’t see to read. Raised dots are used to
represent letters and words. Soon Helen could
read, write, and speak. Helen Keller went on to
give speeches all over the world. Most of the
money she earned was given to the American
Foundation for the Blind. She met 12 U.S.
presidents, wrote a dozen books, and went to
college. Helen Keller lived to be 87. She

be able to see or hear? When Helen Keller was
19 months old, she became very ill. Doctors
expected her to die, but she survived. Helen’s
mother soon noticed that Helen was not
responding when the dinner bell rang or when
she waved her hand in front of Helen’s face. It
then became apparent that Helen’s illness had
left her blind and deaf. She was born on June
27, 1880 in Alabama, where she lived with her
family. She was frustrated and confused. She

Some space scientists have called asteroids
“vermin of the skies.” They got this nickname
because of their small size and the danger they
can cause. “Vermin” is a term usually used for
unpopular pests, such as rats, roaches, and lice.
Asteroids are a large group of miniature
planets. They orbit the sun between Mars and
Jupiter. They are where most meteorites come
from. These small space rocks travel through
the solar system and sometimes hit Earth. On
occasion, they cause great destruction.
Scientists first believed that asteroids were the
remains of a planet. They thought that it had
been destroyed when it hit another planet. Now
asteroids are believed to be the pieces of a
planet that never actually formed between
Mars and Jupiter. It didn’t become a planet
because of the enormous pull of Jupiter’s
gravity. Ceres, the largest asteroid, was first
seen in 1801. It is about 580 miles in diameter.

A) He kept his sword in his belt.
Read the text and choose the correct
answer below (27-30)
B) He lit his cigarettes using a lamp.
A longtime ago, I had my first job. It didn’t
give me much of an income. It was on a giant
pirate ship. On my first night, there was a thick
fog over the water. A lamp on the ship revealed
an enormous man. He had a sword in his belt.
His name was Blackbeard, and he was one of
the most violent pirates ever. One day,
Blackbeard did an extraordinary thing. He
attacked several ships near a town. He took
some of the town’s citizens. Then he declared,
“You give me medicine!” Blackbeard wanted
the medicine for some of the sick pirates on his
ship. The people had a bad impression of him.
They were mad, and they resisted. But they
were trapped. They wanted to get rid of him.
So the town’s council decided to give him the
medicine. After this, there was a reward for
catching Blackbeard. If Blackbeard was
caught, he would have a trial. He didn’t want
to go to jail, so he quit being a pirate.
Blackbeard became a fisherman. But he ought
to have stayed on land. The Royal Navy was
still looking for him. They attacked him while
he was fishing on his boat. Blackbeard fought
against many men. Finally, he was killed. He
didn’t even get a funeral. But people still tell
tales about him many years later.

He was that rare figure: a natural-born leader,
tailored for greatness. When he was but a child
his mother had whispered to him, "My son, you

never forgot those words. Liberating his land
from 350 years of colonial rule, he molded
many disparate peoples into a nation that
became the fifth most populous in the world,
one of the richest of all in natural resources. He
gave his people a language of their own, raised

All viruses are made up of two kinds of
substance. First, all viruses contain proteins.
Proteins are chemical substances that occur in
all living creatures. A particle, or molecule, of
a protein consists of a long chain of substances
called amino acids. There are about 20
different kinds of amino acid in proteins. These
can be arranged in any order on the protein
chain. Different kinds of plant or animal
contain proteins with different arrangements of
amino acids. The protein generally forms the
outer coat of a virus. This outer layer of protein
encloses the second kind of substance found in
all viruses - nucleic acid.

Many people with high IQ scores fail to
become successful due to lack of motivation,
laziness, or short attention span. In contrast,
some people with low IQ succeed with greater
personal dedication, systematic effort, and
motivation. One
can eliminate the
disadvantage that comes with a low IQ score
by choosing the right career path. For example,
one might have special talents for a particular
sport while failing to perform as well as the
others academically. This can be justified with
greater motivation and dedication. Individuals

with the head of a dragon and the body of a
lion. Once a year, Nian would storm from his
mountain cave to attack the village below. And
every year, when Nian was on his way, the
villagers scattered to hiding places in the
woods and across the river. With no one to stop
him, Nian ate the people’s farm animals,
wrecked their homes, and trampled their crops.
One year, as the people were fl eeing their
village, an old man appeared. “If you stay
here,” he told them, “I will show you how to
be safe from terrible Nian.” The only person to
accept his offer was an old widow. “I have

She was going to stay with Lee and her family.
She would stay for the summer. Lee saw a girl
come out of the gate. The girl smiled when she
saw Lee’s sign. She walked over to Lee. “Hi,”
said the girl. “I am Kiri. I am your exchange

Other American industrialists and factory
managers were stunned when automobile
manufacturer Henry Ford announced in 1914
that he would pay his assembly line workers
$5.00 a day and reduce the working day from
nine to eight hours. The average daily wage in
American industry at the time was $2.34. He
became world famous almost overnight.
Opponents derided Ford as a socialist, while
supporters called him a great humanitarian.
Actually, Ford had simply come to understand
that mass production required a society
composed of many consumers, not just a few
wealthy people amid a multitude of poor. He
was making cars for the middle class and knew
that sales depended on the existence of a
middle class able to afford them, preferably
including his own workers. This notion went
against the grain of most American
businessmen, who believed that low wages,
coupled with the highest possible prices, were
necessary to make a profit.
C) I asked him whether he will go here.
D) I asked me if he would go here.

minstrel. The family would gather around the

The term creative writing means imaginative
writing, or writing as an art. The primary
concern of creative writing is not with factual
information, or with the more routine forms of
25
communication. It does, however, use many of
the same skills. A novel, for example, may
contain much sociological, political or
psychological information. Scholars may
study it for such information, just as Sigmund
Freud studied literature for accounts of dreams
and emotional states. No true novel, however,
is written to communicate facts. Like other
forms of creative writing, it attempts to
produce in its reader the pleasure of an
aesthetic experience. It tries to uncover form
and meaning in the turmoil of love, hate,
violence, tedium, habit, and the brutal facts
which people must deal with from day to day.
The novelist and short-story writer John
Cheever, when asked why he wrote, said, "To
try to make sense out of my life." Whether it
takes the form of poem, short story, novel,
play, personal essay, or even biography or
history, creative writing is certain to involve
some search for meaning, a measure of wonder
and discovery, and a degree of personal
involvement in the result.
30. One point that John Cheever's quote
illustrates is that ………………
A) creative writing can be very informative
B) he is not really a terribly creative writer
C) biography is generally better than fiction
D) creative writing involves the writer
personally

In English, there is an idiom “Let the cat out of
the bag.” It means to tell a secret. One day, a
man went to the city to sell things. “I have a
baby pig for sale. It won’t cost much,” he said.
He held the animal above his head. He was
lying. He offered the pig to a woman named
Beth for one gold coin. She wanted to buy that
pig because of low price. Beth gave him a
coin. He gave her a bag and said, “Here’s your
pig.” Beth looked at the bag. It was moving.
She opened it to let the pig out. There was a cat
inside. “He tricked me. It isn’t correct.” she
said. Her friends stopped him. Someone said,
“We need a fair person to solve this.” They
went to the judge. The judge asked, “Can you
show how he did it?” “Look at his bag,” said
Beth. She opened it and let a cat out of the bag.
That’s how the idiom “Let the cat out of the
bag” came out.

creatures that live together in groups. Like
good neighbours, vampire bats are willing to
share their meals with each other during hard

A beetle is an insect with a hard covering on its
body. Almost everyone has seen a beetle at
some time in their lives. They often enter
houses. Almost anywhere humans go, beetles
can follow. There are more than 300,000
different kinds of beetles on Earth, and they all
have some similarities. For example, all
beetles have six legs and two antennae. And
their bodies are divided into three parts. There
are also differences among species of beetles.
Some beetles, such as ladybugs can fly. Other
species, such as the ironclad beetle, can only
walk. Beetles also vary greatly in size.
Some are about the size of a grain of sand. In
contrast, titan beetles from South American
rainforests can grow to more than 15 cm in
length. Beetles have different ways of
defending themselves. Bombardier beetles can
spray a hot chemical to warn enemies. Acrobat
beetles scare enemies by doing headstands.
Still other types of beetles, such as leaf beetles,
can hide themselves in their surroundings.
Most beetles are helpful to humans. Ladybugs
feed on pests that damage crops.

pictures cut into the wood. Iran had metal flags
about 3,000 years ago. Old Greek coins show
pictures of flags. People in Rome also used
flags over 2,000 years ago. People first made
flags of cloth about 2,000 years ago. Those
flags looked like today’s flags. Flags are
important at sea. Most ships fly their own
country’s flag and the flag of the country they
are visiting. When a ship flies only its own
flag, it is ready to fight. Every country now has
a flag. Every U.S. state has a flag.

Pedro Olivia is a Brazilian kayaker, but he is
not like most other kayakers. He is an extreme
kayaker, and he takes his small boat where few
other paddlers dare to go. On March 4, 2009,
Olivia set a world record by plunging over the
1 27-foot-high Salto Belo waterfall in Brazil.
That’s a greater drop than the height of Niagara
Falls in New York! The previous record for a
plunge over a waterfall was 1 08 feet, set in
British Columbia, Canada. Just before his
record-setting plunge, Olivia paddled to the
edge of the quarter-mile-wide waterfall. Then,
as he fell, he flipped his kayak upside down
and dropped at a speed of 70 miles per hour
and landed headfirst in the water. How did he
survive the fall? He had picked a spot in the
falls where a huge volume of water fell a long
distance into a very deep hole. The falling
water mixes with air and creates a much softer
place to land.
Clubs, teams, and schools have flags. The
Olympics has a flag. The Olympics flag has
five rings of five colours on a white field. Each
ring represents a continent. It means that
people from five continents – Africa, Asia,
Europe, America, and Australia – come to
play.
Olivia was underwater for about five seconds.
When he came up, still in his kayak, he realized
that he had surfaced behind the waterfall. He
climbed out of the boat and found to his
surprise that the rocks were.covered with large

from behind the waterfall and made it safely to
shore, surviving the longest descent ever made
in a kayak.

Rainbows are often seen when the sun comes
out after or during a rainstorm. Rainbows are
caused when sunlight shines through drops of
water in the sky at specific angles. When white
sunlight enters a raindrop, it exits the raindrop
in a different colour. When light exits lots of
different raindrops at different angles, it
produces the red, orange, yellow, green, blue,
indigo, and violet that you see in a rainbow.
These colours can sometimes be seen in

It happened long ago in Greece. There was a
war between Spartans and Persians. There
were only three hundred Spartans. The Persian
army had thousands of soldiers. Spartans were
going to lose unless they could secure a small
passage. The enemy couldn’t move through it
easily. Soon, the enemy’s large army appeared

around the hills. Spartans weren’t afraid of
them and intended to meet the enemy with
laughter. Because Spartans’ weapons and
skills were better. Spartans trusted their leader
and obeyed him. First, the enemy soldiers shot
arrows from their bows. The chief told his men
to lift their shields. The arrows stuck into the
shields but didn’t hurt any of the men. Then the
enemy’s soldiers attacked Spartans with long
spears. The chief surprised them. His soldiers
rolled logs down on the enemy. They fought

won’t fill your river,” it said. Now the boy
laughed. “It doesn’t matter whether you want
to fill it or not,” he said. “You already did.”

The clerk at the desk told me about Madina, an
eight-year-old girl. The doctors found a
problem in her brain. When I entered Madina’s
room. She was on the chair next to Nodir, a
little boy. Though Madina didn’t feel well, she
was playing with Nodir and his toys. It took a
lot of effort for her just to sit on the chair. But
she played with Nodir because it made him
happy. Madina was always smiling and never
appeared to be in pain. Another day she went
outside to get flowers for another sick girl.
Madina made everyone smile. Her operation
was successful. Madina was fine. She got
better and left the hospital a month later. I have

never met another girl like Madina. Even after
she got well, she still visited the hospital. She
played games with young patients. She road

The first question to ask about fiction is: Why
bother to read it? With life as short as it is, with
so many pressing demands on our time, with
books of information, instruction and
discussion waiting to be read, why should we
spend precious time on works of fiction? The
eternal answers to this question are two:
enjoyment and understanding. Since the
invention of language, men have taken
pleasure in following and participating in the
imaginary
adventures
and
imaginary
experiences of imaginary people. Whatever
serves to make life less tedious, to make the
hours pass more quickly and pleasurably,
surely needs nothing else to recommend it.
Enjoyment is the first aim and justification of
reading fiction.

A) otherwise they will become ill-balanced
adults and isolate themselves from others
Laughter’s social role is definitely important.
Today’s children may be heading for a whole
lot of social ills because their play and leisure
time is so isolated and they lose out on lots of
chances for laughter. When children stare at
computer screens, rather than laughing with
each other, they get so involved that they forget
to laugh at all; this is contrary to what’s natural
for them. Natural social behaviour in children
is playful behaviour, and in such situations

B) since they help to restore ecosystems
Read the text and choose the correct
answer below (27-30)
C) because they have almost no ill effect upon
the environment
Producing food costs the earth dearly. First of
all, to grow food, we clear land which always
incurs losses of native ecosystems and wildlife.
Then we plant crops or graze animals on the
land.The soil loses nutrients as each crop is
taken from it, so fertilizer is applied. Some
fertilizer runs off, polluting the waterways.
Some plowed soil runs off, which clouds the
waterways and interferes with the growth of
aquatic plants and animals. To protect crops
against weeds and pests, we apply herbicides
and pesticides. These chemicals also pollute
the water and, wherever the wind carries them,
the air. Most herbicides and pesticides kill not
only weeds and pests, but also native insects,
and animals that eat those plants and insects.
D) to replace the nutrients that crops have
taken out of the soil

The Chinese New Year begins on a different
date each year between January 21 and
February 20. The Chinese New Year is a very
important festival for the Chinese people. The
holiday is sometimes called the Lunar New
Year, or Spring Festival. The festivals last for
fifteen days. The final day is the most
important day of the holiday, and is known as
“the Lantern Festival”. There are twelve
animal signs in the Chinese zodiac calendar.
Each year is represented by a different
animal. Cleaning the house from top to bottom
before New Year’s Day is believed to bring
good luck in the coming year. People open
windows and doors to let in good luck. Leaving
the lights on in the house over night is believed
to “scare away” any bad spirits. Some people
believe that what happens on the first day of
the Chinese New Year reflects the rest of the
year to come. Chinese people will often play
games at the start of the year, hoping to obtain
good luck and fortune if they win.

according to it.
A long time ago, ships were the only way for
people to journey across the sea. So ships
traveled both day and night. They sailed in all
kinds of weather, too. It was easy to see when
the sun lit the way. However, being in the sea
at night or during a storm was dangerous. If the
sailors were not careful, the ship could easily
crash. So sailors depended on lighthouses.
They were built in all places that could cause
problems for a ship. Lighthouses were made of
materials that could stand up to terrible storms.
Every night and during storms, the keepers
climbed up hundreds of stairs to the lantern
room. They put whale oil into a large tube.
They lit a rope-like cloth that stood
up in the middle. The light burned in a tube just
like fire on a candle. Later, lighthouse keepers
burned different kinds of oils to make the light.
Nowadays, electricity and light bulbs replaced
the burning oil to make the actual light.

After several failures as a playwright, Dumas
wrote a play about the king called Henri III. It
was produced in Paris in 1829 and was a great
success. Dumas became prominent as one of
the leaders of the Romantic movement. In the
1840s, Dumas turned nearly all his attention to
writing vivid historical novels. The best known
are The Three Musketeers, and The Count of
Monte Cristo. Dumas hired collaborators,
added material here and there to their work,
and changed the plot and characters, giving the
works the charm and movement that made his
novels popular. Collaborators' names never
appeared on the title pages of these works, but
this omission was a practice of the day. Dumas
earned vast sums, but he spent money faster
than he earned it. His wish to be elected to the
French Academy was never fulfilled.

27. The current method of classifying life
forms involves ….
Exactly what is a plant and how is it different
from other life forms? This may initially seem
like a simple question.Everyone knows that an
elm tree is a plant, whereas a dog is not.
Nevertheless, the precise definition of plants is
still a matter of debate among some scientists.
All living things are made up of protoplasm, a
complex material composed of organic
substances such as sugars, proteins and fats.
Protoplasm is arranged in tiny units called
cells. All living things are composed of cells.
As recently as the late 1960s, scientists
believed that all organisms could be classified
as members of either the plant or the animal
kingdom. Life forms that are green and that can
synthesize their own food using light energy
were put in the plant kingdom. Those
organisms that lack green pigment and are able
to move about were considered to be animals.
Researchers now agree that living things are
more properly divided into two groupsprokaryotes and eukaryotes. These major
groups comprise five kingdoms. Major
differences between cells are used to
distinguish between these groups and
kingdoms.
A) separating the plant and animal kingdoms
B) taking significant differences in cell
formation into account
C) seeing if an organism contains green
colouring
D) noting if an organism can produce food
chemically

Because of his imperturbable manner, both on

ground strokes, Bjom Borg was dubbed IceBorg by his opponents on the professional
tennis circuit. Borg won his first tournament
when he was 11.In four years, he won all the
world's junior titles, and became the first of the
teenage wonders to achieve world-class status.
He dropped out of school when he was in the
ninth grade, at the age of 15, and qualified for
the Swedish Davis Cup team, becoming the
youngest player ever to win a cup match. This
was his first encounter with team captain
Lennart Bergelin, who later became Borg's
full-time coach. In 1975 Borg's three match
victories, including doubles, brought Sweden
its first Davis Cup. In his first decade in
competitive tennis, the golden-haired Swede

Few animals have such economic significance
to mankind yet suffer from such a deplorable
image as does the pig. As a domestic animal, it
is a source of a wide variety of meats, high
quality leather, durable bristles for many kinds
of brushes, and hundreds of medical
products. At the same time, the pig is
frequently regarded as unclean and even
untouchable by many people. In spite of their
reputation, pigs are neither filthy nor stupid.
Because their sweat glands are relatively
ineffective in lowering body temperature, pigs
seek relief from the heat by wallowing in mud
or shallow waterholes. When provided with? a
clean environment sheltered from the sun,
however, pigs are fastidious. Furthermore, in
tests of intelligence, pigs have proved to be
among the smartest of all domestic animals even more intelligent than dogs.
22. The author of the passage points out that
…
A) the consumption of pork products is not
very
safe for health concerns
B) though dirty, the pig is not too fishy to be
touched
C) pigs supply humans with very many types
of
products
D) although the meat is unsafe, pigs can be a
source of leather and brushes
23. According to the facts in the passage,
when pigs are provided with the right
conditions …
A) the quality of the pork meat is improved
57
B) pigs are still extremely dirty
C) pigs like to keep themselves clean
D) bristles obtained from them for brushes
are of better quality
24.It is emphasized in the passage that the
pig's reputation as a filthy and stupid
animal …
A) does not at all reflect the truth
B) is wholly justified
C) is actually a result of the stupidity and
ignorance of people
D) is only right to a certain extent

The greatest poet of Persia - now Iran – was
Abu al-Qasem Mansur, who wrote under the
name Firdawsi. He wrote the country's national
epic, Book of Kings, in its final form.Of the
man himself, little is known.The most reliable
source of information is an account by a 12thcentury poet, Nezami-ye 'Aruzi, who visited
Firdawsi's native village of Tus and collected
stories about him. Firdawsi was born about
935, the son of a wealthy landowner. It was to
earn money for his daughter's dowry that he
began the 35-year task of composing the Book
of Kings, or Shah-nameh as it is called in
Persian. The work, nearly 60,000 couplets
long, was based on a prose work of the same
name, itself a translation of a history of the
kings of Persia from the most ancient times
down to the reign of Khosrow II in the 7th
century. When the poem was completed in
1010, Firdawsi presented it to Mahmud, the
sultan of Ghanza, in the hope of being well
paid for it. In this the poet was disappointed:
he considered his reward so paltry that he gave
it away.This angered Mahmud, and
Firdawsi fled to Herat, then to Mazanderan.
Some years later, Mahmud tried to make
amends to the poet by sending him a valuable
amount of indigo.Unfortunately the shipment
arrived at Tus on the same day that Firdawsi's
body was being taken to the cemetery for
burial.His daughter refused the’award.The

Spices were known to Eastern peoples
thousands of years ago. Arab traders skillfully
kept a secret the true source of these spices.
Spices became valuable items of sale early in
the evolution of the spice trade and were
introduced by Arab traders to the West. The
initial uses of spices in very early times were
60
in medicine and in the making of holy oils.
People believed in the cure of spices, in a
powder form, in the Middle Ages and even
brought them into early medicine. It is not
known when spices were first used in food.
Certainly, the ancient Greeks and Romans used
spices to flavour food and drinks because they
discovered that spices helped to preserve
foods, hid the flavour of spoiled meat
in part, and also brought a change of flavour.
Knowledge of the use of spices to preserve and
flavor food slowly spread through Europe.
Finally, in the last third of the 15th century, the
Europeans decided to build ships and dared to
go abroad in search of a route to the spiceproducing countries.

On 15 April 1912, the Titanic - at that time the

Atlantic. Some 1,500 people died - more
casualties than in any other marine disaster in
peacetime history. After striking a huge
iceberg, the 46,500-ton vessel sank in less than
three hours. Lloyd’s of London, the firm which
had insured the Titanic, had reasoned that the
probability of such an event was one in a
million. At 11:40 pm on the evening of the
disaster, the lookout on the Titanic's bridge
saw an ominous shape ahead. “Ice! Dead

Akio Morita, the chairman of Sony
Corporation in Japan, wanted a radio he could
carry with him and listen to wherever he went.
From that small desire was born the Sony
Walkman, a radio small enough to be worn on
a belt or carried in a pocket. Not all product
development, however, is so easy. Most of
today's products, including many of the basic
necessities of food, clothing and shelter, are the
result of creative research and thinking by
staff. A new product is one that is new for the
company that makes it. A hamburger, for
example, is not new, but when McDonald's
introduced the Big Mac, it was a new product
for that company. Decisions to make a new
product can be the result of technology and
scientific discovery, but the discovery can be
either accidental or sought for. The original
punch-card data-processing machine was
devised specifically for use by the Bureau of
the Census. Penicillin, by contrast, was an
accidental discovery and is now one of the
most useful antibiotics. Products today are
often the result of extensive market research to
learn what consumers and retailers want.

Frostbite is a common injury in winter
weather, particularly when low temperatures
are combined with wind. The nose, ears,
fingers, toes, and chin are the most susceptible.
The involved part begins to tingle or hurt
mildly and then becomes numb. Frozen tissue
usually ranges from distinctly white in lightskinned people to ashen grey in dark-skinned
people. Here are some tips to help rescue
someone with frostbite: 1. Remove the person
from the cold as soon as possible.2.Every
effort should be made to protect the frozen
part. If there is a chance that the part might
refreeze before reaching medical care, it may
be more harmful to thaw it and let it refreeze

part is warm, keep it dry and clean. If blisters
appear, use sterile dressings.

Scientists believe that they have found a secret
how flamingos stand on one leg. We all love
the image of these beautiful birds standing in
water on just one leg. The reason why the birds
do this has wondered scientists for decades.
Researchers say they have revealed this secret.
Professor Young-Hui Chang says a flamingo
can stand on just one leg for many hours
because of its skeleton. The flamingo’s hip and
leg bones are in a special shape and position
that help the bird to balance. Flamingos don’t
have to use their muscles a lot to do this.

Technology is helping Japanese farmers. For
thousands of years they have tried to keep
animals away from their farms. Japanese
engineers have invented the “Super Monster
Wolf to scare away wild animals that want to
eat crops of rice, pumpkin or potato. “Super
Monster Wolf’ is a solar-powered scarecrow
robot that looks like a real wolf. It has wolf-
66
like hair, big terrifying teeth and red LED eyes.
It also has 48 different wolf noises so animals
never get used to it. “Super Monster Wolf’ will
be used to keep animals like wild bears and
deer out of rice farms and fruit gardens.
Farmers lose millions of dollars every year due
to hungry animals. It is more effective than an
electric fence at keeping animals out. The
robot can sense movement up to one kilometer
away and immediately make its terrifying
sounds. The robot will start to be
mass produced from next year. It will be 65 cm
long and 50 cm high. The price is $4,800 but
farmers will have the option of renting it
monthly.

Domesticated animals are those that have been
bred in captivity for many generations. While
a single animal may be tamed, only a species
of animal can be considered domesticated. In
the course of time, by selective breeding,
certain animals have changed greatly in
appearance and behaviour from their wild
ancestors. There is a vast difference between
the scrawny red jungle fowl of southern Asia
and its descendant, the meaty, egg-laying farm
chicken. Not all domestic animals are tame at
all times. An angry bull, a mother goose, or a
mother sow with young piglets can be vicious.
Some creatures confined in zoos breed in
captivity. The lion is an example. These
animals are not domesticated, however, for
they remain wild and dangerous.

B) sent out spies in order to overthrow the
Boxers
In the summer of 1900, members of a secret
society roamed northeastern China in bands,
killing Europeans and Americans and
destroying buildings owned by foreigners.
They called themselves l-ho ch'uan, or
"Righteous and Harmonious Fists." They
practised boxing skills that they believed made
them impervious to bullets. To Westerners
they became known as the Boxers, and their
uprising was called the Boxer Rebellion. Most
Boxers were peasants or urban thugs from
northern China who resented the growing
influence of Westerners in their land. They
organized themselves in 1898, and in the same
year the Chinese government - then ruled by
the Ch'ing Dynasty - secretly allied with the
Boxers to oppose such outsiders as Christian
missionaries and European businessmen. The
Boxers failed to drive foreigners out of China,
but they set the stage for the successful
Chinese revolutionary movement of the early
20th century.

Paintings and power shovels, sonatas and
submarines, dramas and dynamos -they all
have one thing in common. They are fashioned
by people. They are artificial, in contrast to
everything that is natural - plants, animals, and
minerals. The average 20th-century person
would distinguish paintings, sonatas, and
dramas as forms of art, while viewing power
shovels, submarines, and dynamos as products
of technology. This distinction, however, is a
modern one that dates from an 18th-century
point of view. In earlier times, the word "art"
referred to any useful skill.

Amelia Earhart, America’s most famous
woman pilot, was born into a wealthy family in
1897. At the age of 23 she decided to become
a pilot. In 1932 she became the first woman to
make a solo flight across the Atlantic. She was
awarded honours of all kinds. As her fame
grew, she travelled round the country giving
lectures and promoting women’s rights.
In 1937, Amelia decided to do something that
no woman had tried before – to fly all the way
round the world. She reached Australia, and set
out on the last part of her journey across the
Pacific on July 2nd. A few hours later, she sent
a radio message saying she was running short
of fuel. Then there was silence. 9 ships and 66
planes were immediately sent to search the
area but were unable to find any sign of her.
Since her death, there have been many stories
about her; some say that Amelia was captured
by the Japanese, others claim that she lived on
a South Pacific island with a fisherman.
However, no trace of her or the plane has ever
been found.
The first flags were probably used in China.
People flew flags in China over 4,000 years
ago. Each part of the army had its own flag so
the soldiers could see their leaders. Early flags
were sticks of wood. They had pictures cut into
the wood. Iran had metal flags about 3,000
years ago. Old Greek coins show pictures of
flags. People in Rome also used flags over
2,000 years ago. People first made flags of
cloth
about
2,000
years
ago.
Those flags looked like today’s flags. Flags are
important at sea. Most ships fly their own
country’s flag and the flag of the country they
are visiting. When a ship flies only its own
flag, it is ready to fight. Every country now has
a flag. Every U.S. state has a flag. Clubs,
teams, and schools have flags. The Olympics
has a flag. The Olympics flag has five rings of
five colours on a white field. Each ring
represents a continent. It means that people
from five continents – Africa, Asia, Europe,
America, and Australia – come to play.

21 . Which of the following laws for the
people in the urban areas is not mentioned in
the text?
According to the United States Environmental
Protection Agency, driving a car is the single
most polluting thing that most of us do. This is
not a new problem. In the 1 950’s the Los
Angeles smog made head-line news. Car
exhaust causes health problems. There are
many solutions to the problem. Laws were
enacted as long as twenty years ago to control
pollution caused by cars. Since then laws have
been made, such as special nozzles on gas
pumps that prevent vapour from getting into
the air. We also have more tests on cars to
make sure cars are maintained in a way that
protects our environment. In cities, laws ask
that more people ride on buses, and employees
that drive company cars should limit the time
they drive and the number of trips that they
make. Cars emit several pollutants that are
toxic. This causes many problems. One
problem it causes is cancer. Most cars generate
hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and carbon
monoxide. Hydrocarbons cause eye irritation,
coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and
lung damage. Nitrogen oxide causes acid rain
and leads to water quality problems. Carbon
monoxide prevents oxygen from going through
the lungs properly. All of these problems can
be serious and affect the health of the people
who live in the United States.
A) to lessen the number of hours taken to
drive company cars

Cell phone calling plans that allow users to
send unlimited text messages are popular with
teens across the United States. In 2008, an
average American teen sent 2,272 text
messages each month. That’s nearly 80
messages a day, although many teens
commonly send hundreds of messages per day.
So, what could be wrong with a plan that
allows you to send as many messages as you
want every day of the week? It turns out that
there are real health risks. The physical action
of typing and sending many text messages
could injure your thumbs. When you perform
the same action many times, you can get
something called a repetitive stress injury,
which causes painful muscle cramps. Doctors
believe the damage is temporary and can heal
if the action is stopped. Sending and receiving
text messages can also lead to psychological
strain. Constant texting can interfere with sleep
and create stress. Ringtones or vibrations can

EXCEPT:
A) Special nozzles are aimed to stop smog
from Spreading into the air

polluting thing that people do

break one’s concentration and contribute to
feeling restless or anxious, which can also
affect sleep. In addition, many teens respond to
text messages late at night, often from bed.
Staying up to wait for a message from a friend
or being awakened by a ring or buzz can reduce
the amount and quality of sleep. While text
messaging can help some teens stay in touch
with their parents, the convenience of texting
may make it difficult for some adolescents to
become more independent. Instead of learning
to make their own decisions, some teens text
their parents dozens of times each day. They
become so dependent on a constant electronic
connection that they don’t learn the thinking
skills they will need later in life.
A) communication problems between teens
B) calling plan price increases
C) teens not getting enough sleep
D) stronger parent-teen relationships

Julia and Vanessa have always been best
friends for as far back as I can remember. They
have been in the same class with the same
teacher since kindergarten. They talk together
on the phone, and they always play tetherball
together at recess. They sit on the ramp before
school and discuss all the boys, and they
always sit together at lunch and share. Julia
brings the drinks and sandwiches; Vanessa
brings the snacks and fruit. Some days they
switch, but they always share. Every Friday
they wear matching shirts, and they always talk
about going to Disneyland. Today they were
acting very unusual. Vanessa asked to sit with
Cathy and me. Julia went off to play with
Brittany and Brianna. It felt a little strange
eating with Vanessa and not Julia. No one said
anything about it. We just ate our lunch and
asked ourselves questions in our head. Why
weren’t they eating together? Why weren’t
they sharing lunch? Maybe we should
investigate.

close to the sky. The snow was so thick that my
boots sank. I looked at the beauty around me.
Maybe my story would be a legend one day.

I wanted people to remember this forever. I
was the senior explorer in my group. I took
many pictures with my camera. I would put
them in a frame and hang them. On the
mountain, the air was very cold. I looked over
the side of the mountaintop. From that angle, I
saw the border of the clouds touching the rocks
below. It looked pure. There was no sign of
modern life. After fifteen minutes, I knew it
was time to go down from the mountain. I was
glad. The team congratulated us. My chief
praised us. I sent messages to my relatives to
tell them that I was safe. But it was hard to
leave the mountain so quickly. I wanted to
enjoy the incredible sight longer.

Read the text and answer the questions
according to it.
The house cat has lived with people for at least
3,500 years. The ancient Egyptians used cats
to keep mice and rats away from grain and
other food. It is possible that humans kept them
as pets even before that, because scientists
found the 8000-year-old bones of people and
cats together in a grave in Northern Cyprus.
The typical cat sleeps for about 14 hours a day,
and some sleep even 20 hours. As well, when
cats jump or fall around in the air their feet
point towards the ground. That is probably one
reason why people say that cats have “nine
lives”. House cats also point their ears in
different directions. If a cat is walking one
way, it can point its ears backwards
to a noise coming from behind. A domestic
cat’s sense of smell is about 14 times stronger
than a human’s. In addition, the house cat can
feel things with its whiskers when a cat is
moving at night. Nowadays, however, people
don’t usually keep house cats for their hunting
ability.

If the temperature drops low enough, the water
in lakes begins to freeze. A thick layer of ice
creates the right conditions for ice fishing. This
popular winter sport is similar in many ways to
regular fishing. Both sports require lures, small
suspending objects that look like food to a fish,
and hooks attached to a rope. And just like
regular fishing, ice fishing requires skill and
80
patience. It also provides an opportunity to talk
to friends or to enjoy quiet time by yourself.
Look at the picture and answer the
following questions.
However, ice fishing involves more work and
equipment than regular fishing. To fish in
water, you simply need a fishing stick, lure,
and a good place. Ice fishing must be done on
a layer of ice at least ten centimetres thick. Ice
fishers use a drill to make a hole about twenty
centimetres wide through the ice. Ice fishers
also need special clothes, including a thick
winter coat, a hat, and gloves.
Many ice fishers build shelters to protect
themselves from the cold. Some shelters even
have ovens and satellite TVs. Shelters look like
little huts.

fishing and regular fishing?

Jade is a green stone that was expensive and
extremely difficult to cut. This did not stop the
Chinese from creating beautiful objects and art
pieces out of this material, however. In fact, the
long lasting feature of jade actually makes it
too valuable. Because of long lasting feature,
some people believed that jade contained
mystic powers. People also thought it had
mystic powers because it produced a beautiful
noise when it was hit. Chinese people used jade
as the material for musical instruments in the
past. These musical instruments played noise
of notes from a little wind. Especially in China,
jade was also used in clothes. Jade jewelry was
probably popular because people knew that it
would not break. Jade was also used in
religious ceremonies and jade objects
were often placed in tombs. The wealthy
members of the Han Dynasty were even buried
in jade suits because people believed that this
stone would protect the dead from outside
forces. Because of difficult cutting, these suits
usually took a few years to complete.
