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 following questions. (1.0 pt.) Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport have a difficult decision about their children's careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and women? For many children it means starting very young and school work, going out with friends and other interests have to take second place. It's very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train for five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing. Another problem is, of course, money. In many countries money for training is available from the government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help cannot be given it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child's development - and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, and etc. can all be very expensive. Many parents are understandably worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers; however, believe that it is only by starting young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. What is clear is that very few people do reach the top and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training. 1. This is from _________. A. a letterB. an advertisement C. a sports diaryD. a newspaper article 2. What is the writer's intention? A. To inform us about training.B. To discuss training method. C. To give details about training costs.D. To suggest a training program. 3. How do some governments help young children who are good at sport? A. They give them overseas training. B. They give them good positions in the government. C. They give them money for training. D. They give them sports clothes and special equipment. 4. According to the passage _________. A. one can only become a top sportsperson by starting young and all parents are willing to spend their money and time on the training B. one can only become a top sportsperson by starting young but it is very expensive C. one will have a lot of friends and money when one starts young to train to become a top sportsperson D. early training helps to develop young muscles without ever damaging them 5. The OPPOSITE meaning to the word "professional" is _________. A. skilledB. amateurC. busyD. occupational 2.

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 following questions. (1.0 pt.) The loss of the jobs and persistent unemployment in the industrial countries is due mainly to changes in technology. It is thought to be misleading to blame job losses on the shift of corporations from the industrial countries to the Third World. The present technological developments have been compared to a Third Industrial Revolution. The first coming in the 19th century, was characterized by the steam engine and the use of coal. In the 1920s the second emerged with the use of oil and the electrodynamo. The third, the present one, is driven by computers, biotechnology and information technology. However, there can be seen weaknesses in the newest of industrial revolutions. The technology is advancing so fast and productivity is rising so fast that we are left with a big problem. Because of the loss in jobs, caused largely by this new, technology, there will not be enough people with money to buy all these products. Technology as definitely enhanced our standard of living, even our quality of life. But as the capacity to produce expands and the lack of purchasing power and consequent demand diminish, there can be overproduction and recession, and what happens to our standard of living? 1. What is the main point the author is making? A. That the industrial countries have more unemployment than the Third World. B. That technology is the main cause of unemployment. C.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of one of the industrial revolutions? A. The use of oil B. The use of computer C. The use of electricity D. The use of coal 3.

There will not be enough money around. D. There will be too many machines in the factories. 4. Why does the author think that there won't be enough people to' buy the products? A. People will not be able to keep up with technology. B. Productivity will not be high enough. C. There will be too many products. D. Many people will be unemployed 5. What do we infer is the author's attitude to the technology? A. It has improved our purchasing power B. It has improved our quality of life. C. It has created more jobs D. It is not responsible for the recession. 6. Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the word “enhanced” ? A. slowed B. improved C. reduced D. declined 2.

Today I'd like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up the earth. First we'll touch on the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that the ozone layer is the protective shield around the earth. It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes. The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists suspect that certain chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we use fluorocarbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from theses fuorocrabons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are, however, new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We'll go into that new study more next time. 1. Who is the most likely speaker? A. A mechanic B. A professor C. A doctor D. A chemist 2. What is the speaker's main topic? A. Fluorocarbons and ozone layer B. Ultraviolet C. Air-conditioning systems D. The uses of spray cans 3. What is the most important purpose of the ozone layer? A. Providing fluorocarbons B. Shielding the sun C. Protecting the earth D. Destroying chemicals 4. What is the ozone layer made of? A. Ultraviolet light B. Shields C. Oxygen D. Fluorocarbons 5. What will the speaker probably discuss next? A. The make-up of the ozone layer B. How to make air conditioners with fluorocarbons C. Harmful effects of ultraviolet light D. The sun as a cause of ozone layer depletion Part 2: Read the passage below and then choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) that fits best for the gap THE TREAT TO THE ENVIRONMENT Nowadays people are more aware that wildlife all over the world is in ___1___.
