Children normally have a distrust of new foods. But it’s the parents’ job to serve a variety of
foods and expose their children to healthy dieting habits.
Some simple strategies can help even the pickiest eater learn to like a more varied diet. First
of all, you don’t have to send children out of the kitchen. __46__ hot stoves, boiling water and
sharp knives at hand, it is understandable that parents don’t want children in the kitchen when
they’re making dinner. But studies suggest that __47__ children in meal preparation is an
important first step in getting them to try new foods. In one study, nearly 600 children from
kindergarten to sixth grade took part in a nutrition curriculum __48__ to get them to eat more
vegetables and whole grains. The researchers found that children who had cooked their own
foods were more likely to eat those foods in the cafeteria than children who had not. Kids don’t
usually like radishes, but if kids cut them up and put them in the salad, they will love the dish.
Another __49__ is not to diet in front of your children. Kids are tuned into their parents’
eating preferences and are far more likely to try foods if they see their mother or father eating
them. __50__ this powerful effect, parents who are trying to lose weight should be careful of how
their dieting habits can influence a child’s perceptions about food and healthful eating. In one
study of 5-year-old girls about dieting, one child noted that dieting involved drinking chocolate
milkshakes, because her mother was using Slim-Fast drinks. By exposing young children to
erratic dieting habits, parents may be putting them at risk for eating disorders.

(E) without
(AB) only by
(AC) despite
(AD) adjusting

through the cooperation of each member can the team win. It is a lesson they must always
remember on the field. Off the field, they continue to keep it in mind. In society, the former
player does not look upon himself as a lone wolf who has the right to __52__ isolated from the
society and go his own way. He understands his place in the team; he knows he is a member of
society and must behave himself as such. He realizes that __53__ cooperating can he do his share
in making society what it should be. The man who has played football knows that teamwork is
5
essential in modern living. He is also aware that every citizen must do his part if the nation is to
__54__. So he has little difficulty in __55__ himself to his role in family life and in the business
world, and to his duties as a citizen.
V. Reading Comprehension (32%)
A current trend in Japan has officials worried—more and more young men and women are
choosing to remain single later in life. It has even led to the coining of a new term, “parasite
singles,” which refers to young people that stay single and live with their parents instead of
marrying and moving out. To counter this trend, experts in Japan has started a marriage campaign.
The slogan for this campaign is Konkatsu, which means marriage hunting. The hope is to
convince young Japanese people that they should change their thoughts on marriage.
Both men and women are responsible for the current situation, but for different reasons.
Japanese men are worried about the state of the economy and bigger money problems in the
future. Many are also making less than past generations, working freelance instead of long-term
jobs. They worry that they won’t have enough money to support a family, so they put off
marriage for years. Women, on the other hand, have unrealistic expectations about marriage.
Many are waiting to marry a rich man and don’t want to work after they get married. With the
Konkatsu program, experts are hoping that many singles will change their perspective and make
it their goal to find a spouse.
56. According to this article, Konkatsu aims to_____.
(A) urge young people to get married
(B) help young people to find jobs

remain single?

The Koh-i-Noor, meaning “mountain of light” in Persian, was once the largest diamond in the
world. You may not have heard of it, but this jewel has been the cause of numerous battles
throughout history. Nations have fallen and countless lives have been lost because of this
diamond.
The Koh-i-Noor originally came from India. Legends surrounds its origin, one of which says
it was found approximately 5000 years ago. Some Hindu stories even tell of the god Krishna
having has possession of the stone. However, the first mention of Koh-i-Noor diamond in
historical records was in 1526. The Muslim conqueror Babur mentioned the stone in his memoirs,
claiming that it belonged to an Indian king or prince in 1294. Babur wrote that the value of the
stone at that time was high enough to feed the entire world for two days.
Babur’s words didn’t lie. In truth, they highlighted the fact that the diamond was valuable
enough to make enemies go to war for it. The diamond usually ended up on the side of the winner,
and its current owner is Queen Elizabeth II of England. The Koh-i-Noor has become part of the
crown jewels of England and recently, it has been in the spotlight again. Some people have
6
demanded that it be returned to the land from which it came. This incredible gem is still causing
disputes. Nobody can predict who own the Koh-i-Noor in the future.

Cetacea is the name zoologists have given to whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Of the more
than 33 species of dolphins around the world, one ranges throughout Southeast Asia to the coasts
of Australia. The Chinese while dolphin, also known as the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, is a
very popular animal in the region.
Like all cetacea, Chinese white dolphins live in water but breathe air. Adults may grow from
two to three and a half meters in length and weigh as much as 230 kilograms. They are carnivores
and feed many on fish, squid and octopi. Adults can live as long as 40 years.
Although it’s named the Chinese white dolphin, the infants are born black. As they mature,
their color changes to gray and then either to pink or white. Only those that call southern China
home are pink. Like other dolphin species, the Chinese white dolphin can jump vertically out of
the water. This ability makes it a favorite for nature lovers, who can now enjoy special boat trips
around Hong Kong to observe and photograph this friendly and intelligently animal. With the
decreasing numbers, however, the Chinese white dolphin needs protection to continue surviving.
62. According to this article, which of the following doesn’t belong to Cetacea?

Family and friends of 33 Chilean miners rejoiced after their loved ones were rescued after
being trapped underground for a record-breaking ten weeks. The miners’ ordeal became famous
all over the world, and the rescue effort itself was viewed on television by over one billion people.
The 33 men were given immediate medical attention as they were pulled from the mine one by
one, but all of them were reported to be in relatively good shape despite the terrible conditions in
which they were forced to live for so long.
After the initial collapse of the mine on August 5th, authorities feared that there may not
7
have been any survivors. It took rescuers more than two weeks of tedious searching simply to
locate the men. When they were found, experts on mining accidents were amazed that they were
still alive. The miners were located by drilling holes into areas of the mine where authorities
thought they were likely to be. When the miners were found, however, it became immediately
clear that getting them out was going to be no easy task. Buried beneath 700 meters of rock, their
only possible way of escape was through a man-sized hole that would take weeks to drill. As the
daunting task was undertaken, the trapped men were sent essential survival supplies, such as
water, food and medicine.
When the rescue shaft was completed in early October, the men were pulled to the surface
one at a time in a specially designed capsule to be reunited with their loved ones. Throughout
their difficult time underground, the miners never gave up hope and became an inspiration to
millions of people around the world who watched the drama unfold on the television and the
Internet.

(C) long and boring
(D) interesting and exciting
67. What can be inferred from the passage?
(A) The government did not act quickly enough to help save the miners.
(B) The mine that collapsed had a long history of safety problems.
(C) The miners’ not being cooperative led to this accident.
(D) Nobody has ever been trapped underground longer than the miners
Sixteen-year-old Briton Christian Owens has become one of the youngest business tycoons
in the world. His Internet-based marketing companies have made him over £1,000,000 in the past
two years. The young entrepreneur established his first company, called “Mac Box Bundle”,
when he was just 14. This company alone has made over £700,000 since it was first established,
and his second venture, named “Branchr”, has seen similar success, earning the young man over
£500,000 in less than a year. A business man with wisdom beyond his years, Owens has
invested most of his profits back into his companies in order to help them grow even bigger.
Being just 16 years of age, Owens is still in high school, so he must juggle his growing
business empire with his daily school work. On a typical day, he returns home from school at
about 5:00 p.m. and then spends the better part of his evenings working on his ventures. While
he tries to set aside some time on the weekends to relax and hang out with his friends, he says
that the demands of work often prevent him from doing so.
Owens says he inherited a strong work ethic from his father, a factory worker, and his
mother, a secretary at a local company. However, the person who really inspired him to become a
successful businessperson was none other than Steve Jobs, the founder and CEO of Apple, Inc.
It was Jobs’s vision, creativity, and incredible success that Owens wanted to duplicate, and he
aspires to be a household name one day in the realm of Internet advertising. While he certainly
has a lot of work ahead of him, Owens says he loves what he does and won’t stop until he is
8
worth £100,000,000.
68. According to the passage, which of the following is false?
(A) Owens’s first company made over £500,000 in its first two years.
(B) Owens has little free time to spend with his friends.
(C) Owens sells a variety of different products on the Internet.
(D) Owens really admires Apple founder and CEO Steve Jobs.
69. What is meant by the word “duplicate”?
(A) trade
(B) copy
(C) have
(D) trust
70. What can be inferred from the passage?
(A) Owens is trying hard to make his businesses more and more successful.
(B) Owens doesn’t really think that school is all that important.
(C) Owens hopes to be more famous than Steve Jobs one day.
(D) Owens is one of many rich, young Internet entrepreneurs.
71. What is the best title of this article?
(A) The key to a successful online business.
(B) Teenage entrepreneur strikes it rich.
(C) Even a teenager can make a fortune through online business.
(D) How a teenager is crazy about Internet advertising.
