Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the
passage:
The United States has been criticized for its treatment of its elderly citizens.
Although in many other countries the elderly usually live with their children's
family, many older Americans live alone, without the close companionship of their
children. This situation is sometimes blamed on the "selfishness" of the younger
generation but a closer look shows that many of the elderly prefer to maintain their
independent lives.
Research on the situation of the elderly in America has shown that while
grandparents are delighted to be visited periodically by their children and
grandchildren, they prefer to continue living in the surroundings that they are familiar with.
This suggests that children should permit their parents to live alone if they wish to, and
should encourage them to maintain close ties to the rest of the family.
Another surprising result of the research on the elderly in the United States has
been the very positive influence which pets have been found to have on the elderly
people that they live with. It has been shown that elderly people who care for small
pets, such as cats or dogs. live longer, are healthier, and have better attitudes towards
their lives than similar elderly people without these companions.
46. Many elderly Americans live _________.
A. without satisfaction
B. by themselves
C. a lonely life
D. a simple life
47. What do some people see as the cause of this situation?
A. The society of the USA treats its elderly people as troubles.
B. The young people usually trouble the elderly of their own.
C. The government concerns hardly about the elderly people.
D. The young people are too selfish.
48. Many of the elderly Americans want to ___________.
A. keep living in their well-known places and conditions
B. remain with their grandchildren in their houses
C. remove to their sons' or daughters’ homes .
D. live with their friends in their hometown
49. The author advises the young people to ___________
6
==========================================================================
A. keep close ties the elderly of their own
B. Jet the elderly of their families live by themselves
C. respect the wishes of their elderly parents
D. permit their elderly relatives to raise some pets

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that
enables humans to share knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually
identify communication with speech, communication is composed of two
dimensions - verbal and nonverbal.
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It
includes apparent behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of
voice, as well as less obvious messages such as dress, posture and spatial distance
between two or more people.
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence
others and these others, in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are
communicating. Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth
and practiced and refined throughout a person's lifetime. Children first learn
nonverbal expressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn verbal skills.
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more
adept at reading nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills
and their recent reliance on the nonverbal to communicate. As children develop
verbal skills, nonverbal channels of communication do' not cease to exist although
become entwined in the total communication process.
41. According to the writer, ________.
A. Nonverbal language is only used by the deaf and the mute.
B. One cannot communicate in both verbal and .nonverbal language.
C. Those who can listen and talk should not use nonverbal language.

D. tone of voice

C. even silence has message value
Dd. touching is not accepted in communicating

A. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language through books

B. can communicate in nonverbal language only when they are mature
C. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language since a child

language

The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of
primary and secondary education prior to attending university or college. This may
be accomplished either at public or government-operated schools, or at private
schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may also be completed
outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits
of the American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps
one of the most impressive facts is that a large number of presidents, prime
ministers and leaders from other countries have experienced the American
education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many
fields and industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge,
sought-after programs at the world's best schools. That is why graduating from an
accredited American school and being exposed to the rigors of the American
education system is an investment in your future. Whether you want to study at a
top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high school, a thorough
understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a
clear grasp of the American education system, an international student will find it
difficult to make the right academic choices. It is no surprise that the American
education system and the American school system host more international students
than any other country in the world!

countries has a powerful influence. New trends in Chinese higher education are
attracting the attention of global educators. Since the establishment of Westernoriented modern universities at the end of nineteenth century, Chinese higher

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
In the future, genetic engineering will allow us to create the perfect human. It
will be hard to get used to. Parents will order a baby who 'will grow up to become
his new job because he is not quite prepared a genius or to have a Miss World
appearance. Also, genetic engineering will allow us to mix plants and animals.
As computers have advanced, they have helped us remember, calculate,
organize, and clarify. So it will become easier to deal with things, and much
quicker. At a point in a future time, some may claim that computers become about
as smart as Newton or Einstein. More advanced computers will be able to be
creative, respond to feelings in a feeling way, develop intuition, recognize patterns,
and suggest innovative alternatives. There is a hope if we choose to take action. We
can select Internet information wisely, choose healthy computer games, limit our
exposure to television commercials, and select television programs carefully. People
will be aware of the importance of keeping active, getting outside to do more
physical activities. We will also plan to make a major sacrifice the next time we buy
a car, take the bus. Everybody will be more concerned about making
environmentally friendly choices, eating healthy, and helping build a healthier
society by shopping at better stores that sell better food.
Most people will be aware that a happy, loving family is a joy to be part of, and
that it is a necessary foundation for building a strong society. But it is extremely
important for our future that we maintain a healthy perspective. We need to value
and appreciate the importance of what can be achieved by loving and committed
parents. People need a strong foundation, so it is vital for our society that we
encourage parents to work at creating love, joy, and happiness for their children in a
.decent, stable, and productive atmosphere.

==========================================================================
In Southest Asia, many forests have been cut down to produce timber and to
clear land for farm and industry. The destruction of forests has reduced the living
space of wildlife. Much of Asia’s wildlife is also threatened by over-hunting. Many
people kill animals for food or hunt them to sell to the zoos, medical researchers,
and pet traders. Because of habitat destruction and over-hunting, many large Asian
animals, including elephants, rhinoceroses, and tigers have become endangered.
In China, people have cut down most of the forests for woods, which has
caused serious soil erosion. The soil is deposited in rivers and streams, which
lowers the quality of water. The Huang He, or Yellow River, is also named because
the light-coloured soil gives the water a yellowish colour. The soil has also raised
the riverbed. As a result, the Huang He often floods, causing great property damage
and loss of life along its banks.

Many people believe that watching television has resulted in lower reading
standards in schools. However, the link between television and printed books is
not as simple as that. In many cases, television actually encourages people to
38
========================================================================
==
read: for example, when a book is turned into a TV series, its sales often go up.
One study of this link examined six-year-old children who were viewing a
special series of is-minute programs at school. The series was designed to
encourage love of books, as well as to develop the basic mechanical skills of
reading. Each program is an animated film of a children's book. The story is
read aloud and certain key phrases from the book appear on the screen,
beneath the picture. Whenever a word is read, it is also highlighted on the TV
screen.
One finding was that watching these programs was very important to the children.
If anything prevented them from seeing a program, they were very
disappointed. What's more, they wanted to read the books which the different
parts of the series were based on.
The programs also gave the children more confidence when looking at these
books. As a result of their familiarity with the stories, they would sit in pairs
and read the stories aloud to each other. On each occasion, the children
showed great sympathy when discussing a' character in a book because they
themselves had been moved when watching the character on television.
26.

There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known,
however, that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century
England as an aquatic version of rugby. Early games used an inflated rubber ball
that came from India known as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls").
Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the game and the ball became known as
"water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London
Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming
pools in 1870. At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool
with both hands. A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch
rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they would
then appear again as close to the goal as possible. The introduction of the rules by
Scottish players changed the nature of water polo. It became a game that
emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish rules moved from a rugby
41
==========================================================================
variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10x 3 feet and a goal could
be scored by being thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball
and the ball could no longer be taken under water. The small rubber ball was
replaced by a leather soccer ball. If the player came up too near the goal, he was
promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck.
Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the
ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man
floating to the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in the USA in
1888. The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American
football in the water. "American style" water polo became very popular and by the
late 1890's was played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and Boston's
Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
On 8 August 1967, five leaders - the Foreign Ministers of Indonesia, Malaysia,
the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand- sat down together in the main hall of the
Department of Foreign Affairs building in Bangkok, Thailand and signed a
document. By virtue of that document, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN) was born. The five Foreign Ministers who signed it have been
considered as the founders of probably the most successful intergovernmental
organization in the developing world today. The document that they signed would
be known as the ASEAN Declaration.
It is a short, simply-worded document containing just five articles. It declares
the establishment of an Association for Regional Cooperation among the Countries
of Southeast Asia to be known as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN) and spells out the aims and purposes of that Association. These aims and
purposes are about the cooperation in economy, society, culture, techniques,
education and other fields, and in the promotion of regional peace and stability
through abiding respect for justice and the principles of the United Nations Charter.
It stipulates that the Association will be open for participation by all States in the
Southeast Asian region subscribing to its aims, principles and purposes. It
proclaims ASEAN as representing the collective will of the nations of Southeast
Asia to bind themselves together in friendship and cooperation and, through joint
efforts and sacrifices, secure for their peoples and for posterity the blessings of
61
==========================================================================
peace, freedom and prosperity. The goal of ASEAN, then, is to create, not to
destroy.
The original ASEAN logo presented five brown sheaves of rice stalks, one for
each founding member. Beneath the sheaves is the legend "ASEAN" in blue. These
are set on a field of yellow encircled by a blue border. Brown stands for strength
and stability, yellow for prosperity and blue for the spirit of cordiality in which
ASEAN affairs are conducted. When ASEAN celebrated its 30th Anniversary in
1997, the sheaves on the logo had increased to ten -representing all ten countries of
Southeast Asia and reflecting the colors of the flags of all of them. In a very real
sense, ASEAN and Southeast Asia will be one and the same, just as the founders
had envisioned.

Books which give instructions on how to do things are very popular in the
United States today. Thousands of these How-to books are useful: in fact, there are
about four thousand books with titles that begin with the words “ How to”. One
book, may tell you how to earn more money, another may tell you how to save or
spend it, and another may explain how to give your money away.
Many How-to books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a
career and how to succeed in it. If you fail, however, you can buy the book “ How
to Turn Failure into Success”. If you would like to become very rich, you can buy
the book “ How to Make a Millionaire”. If you never make any money at all, you
may need a book called “ How to Live on Nothing”.
One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal
problems. If you want to have a better love of life, you can read “ How to Succeed
in Love every Minute of Your Life”. If you tired of books on happiness, you may

Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D.
Many years ago, people often said “a woman’s place is in the home ”. But
Americans do not feel that way any more. Today, women make up about 43 percent
of the America labor force. There are about 45 million working women in the United
States, and a large number of them are married women with children. In 1980, for the
first time in the nation’s history there were more working wives than household wives.
Looking back to 1940, we can see a picture of some very rapid change. In 1940, only
15 percent of married women held jobs. Today, most young women choose to work
even when they have young children. Why do they work? The most important
reason is that they need to earn money. But another reason is that women today are
better educated and they have more opportunities to work in various professions
than women had earlier.

A. Women and jobs in America

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.
Today we’re going to talk about shyness and discuss recent research on ways
to help children learn to react socially.
Many people consider themselves shy. In fact, forty percent of the people who
took part in our survey said they were shy – that’s two out of every five people.
And there are studies to indicate that the tendency toward shyness may be
inherited. But just because certain children are timid doesn’t mean they are doomed
to be shy forever. There are things parents, teachers, and the chidren themselves
can do to overcome this tendency – and even to prevent it.
One reseacher found that if parents gently push their shy children to try new
things, they can help these children become less afraid and less inhibited. Another
way to help shy children is to train them in social skills. For example, there are
special training groups where children are taught things like looking at other

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 from 31 to 35.
Will people still read books 100 years from now? A few years ago, many
people would have said no. It seemed likely that computers and the internet would
replace books. Now, however, most experts think that books are here to stay.
There are a number of reasons why computers will not replace books entirely. One
reason is that books on paper are much cheaper than computers. And books do not
need a power source. You can read a book for as long as you want and wherever
you want. You never have to worry about losing power. Also, many people feel
more comfortable reading words in a book than reading words on a computer
screen because it is less tiring to the eyes.
Will books in the future be exactly the same as the books you can buy today?
The answer to that question is no. In the future, you may only need to buy one
book. With this one book, you will be able to read novels, plays, and newspapers. It
will look like today’s books, but it will be electronic.
One of the people working on the book of the future is Professor Joseph
Jacobson from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Jacobson’t
electronic book will have a small button on the side. When you press the button,
words will instantly appear on the page. When you want to read a different story,
you can push the button again and a new story will quickly appear.
Question 31: The phrase “are here to stay” in the first paragraph mostly
means_______.
A. “won’t come”
B. “are nearby”
C. “won’t disappear”
D. “are useless”
Question 32: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Reading today’s books needs a power source.
B. Reading words on computer screens is tiring to the eyes.
C. In the future, computers will replace paper books completely.
D. Books will disappear completely sooner or later.
Question 33: What will the book of the future look like?
A. It will look like a book you buy today.
B. It will look like a computer.
C. It will look different from today’s books.
D. We don’t know what it will look like.

Read the following passage adapted from Pre-Essence Reading 1 by Rachel Lee,
and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 38 to 42
BODY LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES
The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings
than the words they are saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial
expressions, and changes in our voice to communicate with each other. Although
some body language is universal, many gestures are culturally specific and may
mean different things in different countries.
If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to
say no and shake it to say yes – the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium,
pointing with your index finger or snapping your fingers at someone is very rude.
In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to
someone with your hands in your pockets will only make matters worse. In the
Middle East, you should never show the soles of your feet or shoes to others as it
will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right hand because they
use their left hands when going to the bathroom.
In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each
other by clapping, and in India, whistling in public is considered rude.
In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp at the end
of a meal to show that you have enjoyed it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger
forming a circle) means ‘everything is good’ in the West, but in China it means
nothing or zero. In Japan, it means money, and in the Middle East, it is a rude
gesture.
Question 38: It is mentioned in the passage that many gestures __________
A. may mean different things in different countries
B. are not used to communicate our feelings
C. can be used to greet each other in public
D. are used in greeting among men and women

A. Belgium B. Bulgaria

A.when going to the bathroom B. when preparing the meal
C.to put in their pockets
D. to clean their tables and chairs
Question 41: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. In France, people shouldn’t rest their feet on tables.
B. In Belgium, snapping your fingers at someone is very rude.
C. In China, the ‘OK’ sign means money
D. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping
