Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 39 to 43.
When we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on how they
look. And of course, we too are being judged on our appearance. Undoubtedly, it’s what’s inside that’s
important but sometimes we can send out the wrong signals and so get a negative reaction, simply by wearing
inappropriate clothing.
When selecting your clothes each day, it is therefore important to think about whom you’re likely to meet,
where you are going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform. Clearly, on a
practical level, some outfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity and this will dictate your
choice to an extent. However, there’s no need to abandon your individual taste completely. After all, if you
dress to please somebody else’s idea of what looks good, you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not quite
yourself.
Some colours bring your natural colouring to life and others can give you a washed-out appearance. Try
out new ones by all means, but remember that dressing in bright colours when you really like subtle neutral
tones or vice versa will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. You know deep down where your own
taste boundaries lie. It may be fun to cross these sometimes, but do take care not to go too far all at once.
Reappraising your image isn’t selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit.
You’ll look better and you’ll feel a better person all round. And if in doubt, you only need to read Professor
Albert Mehrabian’s book Silent Messages, which showed that the impact we make on each other depends 55
percent on how we look and behave, 38 percent on how we speak, and only seven percent on what we actually
say.
(Adapter from “Expert First” by Jan Bell and Roger Gower)

Question 42: The word “others” in paragraph 3 refers to____________.
A. neutral tones. B. taste boundaries. C. colours. D. means.
Question 43: According to Professor Albert Mehrabian, the impact we make on each other depends mainly on

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 44 to 50.
More than 200 reindeer have died of starvation on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, with
scientists blaming their deaths on climate change. The wild deer carcasses were found on the Arctic islands this
summer by researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI), which said it had never logged so many
deaths at once in 40 years of monitoring the animals’ population level. “It’s scary to find so many dead
animals,” project leader Ashild Onvik Pedersen told state broadcaster NRK. “This is an example of how climate
change affects nature. It is just sad.”
Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on earth, is thought to be warming quicker
than any other settlement on the planet, climate scientists warned earlier this year. The milder temperatures in
the region led to unusually heavy rainfall in December, leaving a thick layer of ice when the precipitation froze.
This meant the reindeer could not dig through the hardened tundra to reach the vegetation they graze on in their
usual pastures, the NPI said. Svalbard’s reindeer have been observed eating seaweed and kelp when food is
scarce, but these are less nutritious and cause them stomach problems.
A relatively high number of calves born last year increased the death toll, as the youngest and weakest
are often the first to die in harsh conditions. “Some of the mortality is natural because there were so many
calves last year. But the large number we see now is due to heavy rain, which is due to global warming,” said
Ms Onvik Pedersen.
A team of three scientists spent 10 weeks investigating population of the Svalbard reindeer earlier this
year. Researchers warned the decline of reindeer would cause unwanted plant species, currently kept in check
by the animals’ grazing, to spread across Arctic ecosystems in Europe, Asia and North America.
Arctic reindeer and caribou populations have declined 56 per cent in the last two decades, a report by
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last year. The report said food security was partly to
blame for falling herd numbers, while warmer summers could also put the animals at greater risk of diseases
spread by flies and parasites. The average temperature in Longyearbyen has risen by 3.7C since 1900, more
than three times the global average increase of about 1C. In 2016, the entrance to the town’s “Doomsday” seed
vault – which stores specimens of almost all the world’s seeds – was flooded following heavy rainfall.

Question 44: Which could best serve as the title of the passage?
A. Climate change – The main cause for the death of hundreds of reindeer.
B. Global warming – What are the effects on nature?
C. Reindeer – The most vulnerable animals on the Arctic islands.
D. Climate change – What are the reasons?

A. cut down B. damaged C. recorded D. discovered

A. It is believed to be the most quickly warming settlement on earth.
B. People in Longyearbyen suffered unusually heavy rain at the end of the year.
C. It is the northernmost town on our planet.
D. The reindeer here couldn’t stand the low temperature when the precipitation froze.
Question 47: The word “scarce” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by __________.
A. inappropriate B. insufficient C. abundant D. unlimited
Question 48: What does the word “these” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. seaweed and kelp B. Svalbard’s reindeer C. their usual pastures D. milder temperatures
Question 49: According to Ms. Onvik Pedersen, why is the death rate of reindeer so high this year?
 A. Because of the high number of calves born. B. Because of heavy rain.
C. Because of natural selection. D. Because of the shortage of vegetation.
Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that ______________.
A. Arctic reindeer play the most important role in the Arctic ecosystems.
B. the Arctic ecosystems are altering worse because of the global warming.
C. the clearest effect of climate change is the limit of food chain in the nature.
D. the harsh weather in Arctic islands only damages the new-born calves.

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.
Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal.
More than 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many problems with fossil fuel.
One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air. Also, when we take fossil fuel from the
Earth, we often cause a lot of damage. Another problem is that we are running out of it. That is why we need
new sources of energy. A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power. Thirty-one countries use
nuclear power. Many ships also use it.
Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power. Nuclear power
does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn't need to buy as much as oil from
other countries.
However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, nuclear accidents
are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine. In the next 20 years, about 4,000 people got
sick and died. In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in Japan. Japan is still trying to clean up
the nuclear waste from the accident.
Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it is not safe. A lot of people
want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity. There have been protests against nuclear
energy in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan, India, and many other countries.
Although many people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it. One reason for this
is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don't have enough fossil fuel. However, if we use
nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future.
Question 31: Which of the following is NOT true about fossil fuel?
A. It can pollute the air.
B. We don't use much of it.
C. Its sources are limited.
D. Mining fossil fuel can bring harm to the environment.
Question 32: All of the following are true about nuclear accidents EXCEPT that ______.
A. they have been very serious
B. their effects can last many years
C. it doesn't take us much time to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident
D. there were serious nuclear accidents in Ukraine in 1986 and in Japan in 2011
Question 33: The phrase "clean up" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. block B. evacuate C. disappear D. remove
Question 34: What does the word "They" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. countries B. protesters C. officials D. supporters
Question 35:Which of the following statements would the author of the passage support most?
A. Some governments are wrong when they are using nuclear energy.
B. We should consider seriously nuclear power because it has both advantages and disadvantages.
C. We can continue using nuclear energy until there is an accident.
D. Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries and governments should follow their
people.
Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be trained programmer to work online. Of course,
there are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer skills, but the growth of new media
has opened up a wide range of Internet career opportunities requiring only a minimal level of technical
expertise. Probably one of the most well-known online job opportunities is the job of webmaster. However,
it is hard to define one basic job description for this position. The qualifications and responsibilities depend
on what tasks a particular organization needs a webmaster to perform.
To specify the job description of a webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and software that
the website the webmaster will manage is running on. Different types of hardware and software require
different skill sets to manage them. Another key factor is whether the website will be running internally (at
the firm itself) or externally (renting shared space on the company servers). Finally, the responsibilities of a
webmaster also depend on whether he or she will be working independently, or whether the firm will
provide people to help. All of these factors need to be considered before one can create an accurate
webmaster job description.
Webmaster is one type of Internet career requiring in-depth knowledge of the latest computer
applications. However, there are also online jobs available for which traditional skills remain in high
demand. Content jobs require excellent writing skills and a good sense of the web as a “new media”.
The term “new media” is difficult to define because it encompasses a constantly growing set of new
technologies and skills, specifically, it includes websites, email, Internet technology, CD-ROM, DVD,
streaming audio and video, interactive multimedia presentations, e-books, digital music, computer
illustration, video games, virtually reality, and computer artistry.
Additionally, many of today’s Internet careers are becoming paid-by-the-job professions. With many
companies having to downsize in tough economic items, the outsourcing and contracting of freelance
workers online has become common business practice. The Internet provides an infinite pool of buyers from
around the world with whom freelancers can contract their services. An added benefit to such online jobs is
that freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside their own country of residence.
How much can a person make in these kinds of career? As with many questions related to todays
evolving technology, there is no simple answer. There are many companies willing to pay people with
technical Internet skills salaries well above $70,000 a year. Generally, webmasters start at about $30,000
per year, but salaries can vary greatly. Freelance writers working online have been known to make between
$40,000 and $70,000 per year.
Question 36: What is the best title for this passage?
A. The definition of “new media” B. Internet jobs
C. The job of Webmasters D. People with Internet skills
Question 37: According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE of webmasters?
A. They work either independently or collaboratively.
B. The duties they perform stay almost unchanged.
C. Their jobs require a minimal level of expertise
D. They hardly support hardware and software products.
Question 38: The word “identity” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to____________

Question 39: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to____________.

Question 40: Which of the followings is NOT true about the job of the freelance writers?
A. It may involve working with foreign companies.
B. It is considered a “content” job.
C. There is a high demand for traditional skills.
D. It requires deep knowledge of computer applications.
Question 41: The word “downsize” in paragraph 5 most likely means____________.
A. dismiss workers B. decrease salary C. go bankrupt D. win new contracts
Question 42: It can be inferred from the passage that____________.
A. only well-trained workers are advised to work online.
B. online workers can work full-time online.
C. becoming a webmaster is really easy.
 D. workers with limited computer skills cannot make good money.

each of the questions from 39 to 43.
It is not surprising that the birthplace of cola was the hot and humid American South. This region had long
specialized in creating delicious soft drinks. A druggist in Atlanta, Georgia named John Pemberton created the most
well–known drink brand in the world in the 1880s. However, it seems clear that he had no idea how big it would
become.
Like many American pharmacists of the day, Pemberton opposed drinking alcohol and wanted to produce a
stimulating soft drink. First, he made "the French Wine of Coca" from the coca leaf. Then he began to experiment with
the cola nut. Eventually, he managed to make a combination of the two that he thought was sweet, but not too sweet.
Deciding that "the two C's would look well in advertising," he named it Coca–Cola.
Pemberton's invention caught on fairly quickly. By 1905, "Coke" was being advertised all over the country as "The
Great Natural Temperance Drink." The drink enjoyed additional success since there was a large and popular temperance
movement in the US at that time. In the 1920s, alcohol was outlawed, and sales of Coke rose significantly. However,
they continued to rise even after the law was repeated.
Another reason for Coke's popularity was good business sense. A year after he invented it, Pemberton had sold
Coca–Cola to Asa Griggs Candler for only $283.26! Candler was a marketing genius, and by the time he sold the Coca–
Cola Company in 1919, it was worth $25 million.
Question 39. Which of the following would be the best title for the reading?
A. The Invention and History of Coca–Cola B. Cola is the World’s Most Popular Soft Drink
C. The Temperance Movement and Coke’s success D. John Pemberton created Coca–Cola.

A. made legal B. taken to court C. made illegal D. allowed
Question 41. All of the following are true of Pemberton EXCEPT that _______.
A. he made “French wine of Coca” from the coca leaf
B. he combined the coca leaf and cola nut to make “French wine”
C. he produced stimulating alcohol from coca leaves and cola nuts
D. he made “French wine of Coca” from the cola nut
Question 42. In paragraph 3, the word “caught on” is closest in meaning to _______.
A. became popular B. became successful
C. became important D. became legal
Question 43. Which of the following is responsible for Coke’s additional success?

C. Pemberton’s good business sense D. Coca–Cola’s great taste
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 44 to 50.
After twenty years of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have
started to face harder times. Only Harvard’s MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent years.
Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving
Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower
enrollment rates is expected to continue.
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of
four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial
districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating with
Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the
question, “Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?” The second major factor has
been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are
changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands.

Question 44. What is the main focus of this passage?

A. Jobs on Wall Street B. Types of graduate degrees
C. Changes in enrollment for MBA schools D. How schools are changing to reflect the economy
Question 45. The word “prosperity” in the first paragraph could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. success B. surplus C. nurturing D. education

A. Princeton B. Harvard C. Stanford D. Yale

Question 47. Which of the following descriptions most likely applies to Wall Street?
A. a center for international affairs B. a major financial center
C. a shopping district D. a neighborhood in New York
Question 48: According to the passage, what are two causes of declining business school enrollments?
A. lack of necessity for an MBA and an economic recession
B. low salary and foreign competition
C. fewer MBA schools and fewer entry-level jobs
D. declining population and economic prosperity
Question 49. As used in the second paragraph, the word “struggling” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. evolving B. plunging C. starting D. striving

Question 50. Which of the following might be the topic of the next paragraph?
A. MBA schools’ efforts to change B. Future economic predictions
C. A history of the recent economic changes D. Descriptions of non-MBA graduate programs
