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 29 to 38 Sleep is a natural process, and although a lot have been written about the subject, it is still surrounded by mystery. It is used by some as an escape from the world, and regarded by others as an irritating waste of time: some people get by on very little, others claim they can not exist without at least ten hours, but nobody can do without sleep completely. Our night’s sleep does not just consist of a steady phase of gradually deepening sleep. It alternates between two stages: non-dreaming or ordinary sleep, and REM (rapid eye movement) or dreaming sleep. As soon as we fall asleep, we go straight into non-dreaming sleep for an hour or so, then into REM sleep for about 15 minutes, then back into non-dreaming sleep. It alternates in this way for the rest of the night, with non-dreaming sleep tending to last longer at the beginning of the night. Non-dreaming sleep occupies three-quarters of our night’s sleep, about a quarter of it deep and the rest fairly light. It is widely believed that sleep repairs the body and makes good the damage caused by being awake. However, its main function is to refresh the brain. Experts believe that probably only about two-thirds of our sleep is necessary for repairing and refreshing the brain, with the most valuable sleep coming in the first few hours of the non-dreaming period, the last few hours of sleep are not so essential. The brain can manage quite well with reduced sleep as long as it is uninterrupted sleep. The quality of sleep is important. A study conducted in the USA looked at short sleepers, who slept for 5.5 hours on average, and long sleepers, who had 8.5 hours or more. It is discovered after a variety of tests that the long sleepers were poor sleepers, had twice as much REM sleep as the short sleepers, appeared to sleep longer to make up for poor sleep, and did not wake up in the morning refreshed. Similarly, people who sleep deeply are not necessarily getting a better quality of sleep than shallow sleepers. Deep sleepers can feel tired the following day, so six hours of good sleep is worth more than eight hours of troubled sleep. Question 29: It can be concluded from the first paragraph that_____. A. people need equal time of sleep C. sleep is among the processes of the nature B. sleep remains a puzzle D. everything about sleep has been brought to light Question 30: All the following statements are true, EXCEPT for__________. A. we spend only 25 percents of our night’s sleeping time to dream. B. our night’s sleep occurs in a straight line of only two phases. C. all sleeps are similar in the alternatives of the two stages during the night. D. we often have no dreams right after we fall asleep. Question 31: Unlike the common belief, sleep helps ______. A. not to be awake B. us to repair our body C. our brain to rest and recover D. us to fix the damage happening by day Question 32: It can be inferred from the experts’ ideas that_______. A. Nearly 70 % of our sleep is invaluable B. REM makes good our brain. C. Dream enables our body to refresh. D. if we can sleep uninterruptedly, it is not necessary to sleep the whole night Question 33: The study in the USA suggested that________. A. the fewer hours we sleep, the more we dream B. the type of sleep is more important than its length C. Deep sleep means better sleep D. Six hours of sleep is better than eight hours. Question 34: Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage? A. The problem with sleepless people C. The circle of a sleep B. The role of the sleep D.

I. Read the following text then answer the questions that follow by marking its corresponding letter A, B, C, or D in your answer sheet. Upon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts which the hopes for the new democracy were pinned was the ideal that its citizens would be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and the opportunity for individual achievement and education. It was believed that in a free nation where the power belongs to the people, the commitment to education defines the progress of that democracy and is the catalyst for future progress. This core value has not only stood the test of time but has also grown in importance. In this new Information Era and international economy, education is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of chance. It is important to recognize, however, that we approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn’t require the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled; and 60 percent as unskilled. Today, our world has changed. The proportion of unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce. Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime. 01. In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author’s point of view, any individual must ____. A. understand thoroughly the combination of academic knowledge and practical skills. B. study carefully the history of American educational and vocational systems even since their creation. C. know well all his/her rights and be ready to grasp his/her opportunity of success in life. D. move actively forward in the new Information Era and international economy with a prestigious diploma. 02. The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US____ between 1950s and now. A. has changed slightly B. has remained the same C. has changed dramatically D. has been reversed 03. Education is defined in this passage as a driving force of chance because _________. A. the government of the United States wants to drive social changes in their own ways. B. education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce. C. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far. D. any American citizen who wants to changes his driving license must be very well-educated. 04. The phrase “enlightened individuals” in the first sentence most likely means “people who _____.” A. always appear brilliant-looking in public B. have acquired an adequate level of education C. have often been well-exposed to light D. bring light to anywhere they go 05. Which of the following titles would be best for the passage? A. Education and Jobs in the Past and at Present in the United States. B. Academic Knowledge and Practical Skills in American Professions. C. The Significant Role of Education in American Citizens’ Careers. D. Recent Changes of Educational and Vocational Systems in America. II.

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. Telling the Whole Food Truth As a teacher of whole-food vegetarian cookery, I do feel a certain sympathy with the ‘Men for Meat’ group. There is both confusion and just plain, unappetizing cooking in this area, when a whole-food/ vegetable diet should and can be highly nutritious and utterly delicious. The words ‘whole-food’ and ‘vegetarian’ are not synonymous: vegetarians do not eat any ‘fish, flesh or fowl’. Most eat dairy products. Those who don’t are called vegans. I tell students not to turn vegetarian until they have become knowledgeable about nutrition, and especially about protein. It’s very easy to become a sick vegetarian. And a whole-food diet just consists of eating the whole of food, with nothing added, and nothing taken away. For example, you eat whole-wheat flour, not white flour, which has had had bleach added. In all, no refined carbohydrates are eaten and very fatty and additive-laden foods are avoided and the stress is on fresh products of the best quality. And that’s all - except you must then find recipes which are both healthy and delicious because you’ll have to cook it all yourself. Very few ready-bought meals fulfill both requirements. 18. A whole food diet _____. A. has a lot of nutrition B. is easy to eat C. is added with flour. D. is often fresh 19. According to the writer, what is wrong with ready bought meals for vegetarians? A. They can be cooked easily. B. They can’t be both healthy and delicious. C. They contain some additives. D. They have best quality. 20. What is NOT true about the writer? A. She supports the whole food. B. She is a teacher. C. She dislikes ready bought meal D. She is a vegetarian. 21. The writer of this article feels a ‘certain sympathy’ for this group because _____. A. She is a vegetarian. B. They don’t know much about vegetarian cooking C. her students do not eat meat. D. “whole food” and “vegetarian” are not the same. 22. ‘Men for Meat’ is a _____.

The expression on your face can actually dramatically alter your feelings and perceptions, and it has been proved that (46)____ smiling or frowning can create corresponding emotional responses. The idea was first (47) _____ by a French physiologist, Israel Way Baum, in 1906. He believed that different facial (48) ____ affected the flow of blood to the brain, and that this could create positive or negative feelings. A happy smile or irrepressible (49) _____ increased the blood flow and contributed to joyful feelings. But sad, angry expressions decreased the flow of oxygen-carrying blood, and created a vicious circle of gloom and depression by effectively starving the brain of essential fuel. Psychologist Robert Zajonc rediscovered this early (50) ____, and suggests that the temperature of the brain could affect the production and synthesis of neurotransmitters ─ which definitely influence our moods and energy levels. He argues that an impaired blood flow could not (51) ____ deprive the brain of oxygen, but create further chemical imbalance (52) _____ inhibiting these vital hormonal messages. Zajonc goes on to propose that our brains remember that smiling is associated with being happy, and that by deliberately smiling through your tears you can (53) __ your brain to release uplifting neurotransmitters — replacing a depressed condition (54) ____ a happier one. People suffering from psychosomatic illness depression and anxiety states could (55) _____ from simply exercising their zygomatic muscles which pull the corners of the mouth up and back to form a smile — several times an hour.
In the course its history, human inventions have dramatically increased the average amount of energy available for use per person. Primitive peoples in cold regions burned wood and animal dung to heat their caves, cook food, and drive off animals by fire. The first step toward the developing of more efficient fuels was taken when people discovered that they could use vegetable oils and animal fats in lieu of gathered or cut wood. Charcoal gave off a more intensive heat than wood and was more easily obtainable than organic fats. The Greeks first began to use coal for metal smelting in the 14th century, but it did not come extensive use until the Industrial Revolution. In the 1700s, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, most energy used in the United States and other nations undergoing industrialization was obtained from perpetual and renewable sources, such as wood, water streams, domesticated animal labour, and wind. These were predominantly locally available supplies. By mid-1800s, 91 percent of all commercial energy consumed in the United States and European countries was obtained from wood. However, at the beginning of the 20th century, coal became a major energy source and replaced wood in industrializing countries. Although in most regions and climate zones wood was more readily accessible than coal, the latter represents a more concentrate source of energy. In 1910, natural gas and oil firmly replaced coal as the main source of fuel because they are lighter and, therefore, cheaper to transport. They burned more cleanly than coal and polluted less. Unlike coal, oil could be refined to manufacture liquid fuels for vehicles, a very important consideration in early 1900s, when the automobile arrived on the scene. By 1984, nonrenewable fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, provided over 82 percent of the commercial and industrial energy used in the world. Small amounts of energy were derived from nuclear fission, and the remaining 16 percent came from burning direct perpetual and renewable fuels, such as biomass. Between 1700 and 1986, a large number of countries shifted from the use of energy from local sources to a centralized generation of hydropower and solar energy converted to electricity. The energy derived from nonrenewable fossil fuels has created a dependency on a finite resource that will have to be replaced. Alternative fuel sources are numerous, and shale oil and hydrocarbons are just two examples. The extraction of shale oil from large deposits in Asia and European regions has proven to be labor consuming and costly. The resulting product is sulfur-and nitrogen rich, and large-scale extractions are presently prohibitive. Similarly, the extraction of hydrocarbons from tar sands in Alberta and Utah is complex. Semi-solid hydrocarbons cannot be easily separated from the sandstone and limestone that carry them, and modern technology is not sufficiently versatile for a large-scale removal of the material. However, both sources of fuel may eventually be needed as petroleum prices continue to rise and limitations in fossil fuel availability make alternative deposits more attractive.

Identify your choice by marking A, B, C or D on the answer sheet. History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full – scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound effect machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures – called “synchronized sound” – began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence. In the “sound-on-film” system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us “talking picture”.
