PASSAGE TEST The ability to deal with numbers and mathematical
concepts reveals an interesting pattern of differences
between girls and boys. Girls usually begin counting
before boys. Throughout the primary-school years and
middle school, girls are better at computational
problems, whereas boys do better with mathreasoning
problems. During this period, girls also tend to get higher
grades. By high school, however, boys begin to perform
better, especially at the higher levels of ability. Some
psychologists believe this advantage is genetic, but
others think that it may derive, in part, from males’ use
of more effective strategies and their lower level of
anxiety when approaching mathematics problems. It has
also been suggested that the sex differences come about
to some degree because girls view math as a male
activity (and, therefore, have less interest in it) and
because some parents and teachers offer greater
encouragement to males in this area. Some studies
support this analysis, but others do not. In this area, too,
biological and socialization factors probably combine to
produce the observed differences.
47- The author thinks that differences between girls
and boys ----.
A) can be observed only through their approach to
mathematics
B) have concerned psychologists far more than their
performance at school
C) is a subject that has attracted a great deal of
attention in recent years from psychologists
D) remain constant throughout their school years
E) may be attributed to the joint effect of their
biological nature and social environment
48- It is suggested in the passage that boys ----.
A) are never influenced by their social environment
in their attitude towards mathematics
B) are always discouraged when they are faced with
a mathematical problem
C) are genetically far more motivated towards
mathematics than girls
D) are more successful than girls at primary level in
dealing with mathematical problems which require
reasoning
E) usually rely on their parents and teachers in
solving all kinds of mathematical problems
49- One learns from the passage that, according to
one view, the sex difference between boys and girls
----.
A) has been categorically ruled out by all
psychologists as an important factor in learning
mathematics
B) ought to be taken into consideration by parents
and teachers
C) is negligible at the high school level
D) cannot be a significant factor in their performance
at high school
E) does have some effect on their mathematical
performance
50- It is pointed out in the passage that girls ----.
A) never fail in their determination to excel over
boys in mathematics
B) begin to use numbers before boys do
C) are relatively more conscious than boys as regards
their sex differences
D) always use mathematical concepts as efficiently
as boys in solving problems
E) in the long run perform much better than boys in

Studies reveal that even subtle, artificial or
seemingly unimportant exclusion can lead to strong
emotional reactions. A strong reaction makes sense
when you are rejected or ignored by your family or
close friends, because they are important to you. It
is more remarkable that intense feelings of
rejection can emerge even when people close to us
are not involved. We can feel awful even after
people we have never met simply look the other
way. This reaction serves an important function. It
warns us that something is wrong, that there exists
a serious threat to our social and psychological
well-being. Psychologists argue that belonging, self-
esteem, a sense of control over your life and a
belief that existence is meaningful constitute four
fundamental psychological needs that we must
meet to function as social individuals. Exclusion
threatens all these needs. Even in a verbal or
physical dispute, individuals are still connected.
Total exclusion, however, cuts all bonds. Worse
than this, the imposed silence forces us to think
about the event in detail, generating self-critical
thoughts in our search for an explanation. This
forced isolation also makes us feel helpless: You
can fight back, but no one will respond. Finally,
exclusion makes our very existence feel less
meaningful because this type of rejection makes us
feel isolated and unimportant.
51-The author of the passage thinks the results of
studies on exclusion are surprising in that ----.
A)negative feelings of exclusion occur only after
rejection by close friends or family members
B)people who have been excluded are usually those
who consider relationships unimportant
C)even people who do not matter to us personally
can hurt us by ignoring us or keeping us out
D)most people experience no negative feelings after
being rejected by social groups
E)a person with a wide network of social connections
will experience less rejection
52-We can understand from the passage that
human beings ----.
A)are social beings who require membership in a
group to function properly
B)exclude individuals for valid reasons that must be

C)are essentially sensitive beings who exclude others
only by accident
D)are different from all other living organisms in the
extent of their need for social ties
E)rarely experience very strong feelings of rejection
53-According to the passage, having an argument
or physical fight is preferable to exclusion because -
---.
A) acting out disagreements is a primary
psychological need
B) built-up feelings of aggression will only cause
greater future violence
C) the individual is still part of the group and has ties
to others
D) human beings often find deep meaning in

Today scientists draw attention to some of the
potential consequences of global warming on
wildlife. They point out that each species reacts to
changes in temperature differently. Some species
will undoubtedly become extinct, particularly those
with narrow temperature requirements, those
confined to small reserves or parks, and those living
in fragile ecosystems, whereas other species may
survive in greatly reduced numbers and ranges.
Ecosystems considered most vulnerable to species
loss in the short term are polar seas, coral reefs,
mountains, coastal wetlands, tundra, taiga, and
temperate forests. On the other hand, some
species may be able to migrate to new
environments or adapt themselves to the changing
conditions in their present habitats. Also, some
species may be unaffected by global warming,
whereas others may emerge from it as winners,
with greatly expanded numbers and ranges. Those
considered most likely to prosper include weeds,
pests, and disease-carrying organisms that are
already common in many different environments.
55-It is clear from the passage that global warming-
-.
A) has caused much decline in the number of many
rare species
B) is particularly harmful to coastal wetlands and
coral reefs
C) has increased dangerously and extensively
throughout the world
D) has already forced many species to migrate to
new environments
E) does not have the same impact on all species
56- The passage gives a brief account of ----.
A) the precautions that need to be taken to prevent
the extinction of certain species
B) the possible adverse effects that global warming
will, in the future, have on different species
C) how different ecosystems react to the increase of
the numbers of species
D) why certain species can always survive in many
different environments
E) the vital importance that wildlife has particularly
for fragile ecosystems
57-It is stressed in the passage that, due to global
warming, ----.
A) scientists have focused their efforts on the
conservation of rare species
B) many organisms have already changed their
habitats
C) species living in temperate forests will have to
migrate to a new environment
D) there has been a sharp increase in the variety and
number of pests
E) for some species, extinction is inevitable
58- Which could be the best title for the passage ?

Malaria remains probably the most serious
single threat to health throughout the tropics
and subtropics. A newcomer to an area in which
malaria is highly endemic may be misled by the
apparently robust health of most of the local
people. The adults, however, are simply the
relatively resistant survivors of a disease that
regularly kills a large percentage of infants. The
previously unexposed immigrant to virtually all of
Africa, most of Southeast Asia, and much of Latin
America is at grave risk of contracting
malaria, some forms of which have a mortality
rate of 10% in untreated cases. Military forces
and construction crews throughout history have
been inactivated by this disease. Experiences in
Vietnam and on construction projects in Africa
continue to demonstrate that antimalarial drugs do
not offer complete protection. Malaria is almost
always underestimated as to its very wide
geographic distribution, the high risk of
infection, and the severity of the disease in
nonimmune subjects.
59. An important point that is stressed in the
passage is that —— .
A) outsiders going to work in areas where
malaria is endemic should avoid contact with
the local people
B) malaria is only dangerous if it goes untreated
C) most forms of malaria are harmless
D) a great many people do not realise just how
dangerous malaria is
E) the incidence of malaria even in Africa is
rapidly decreasing
60. We understand from the passage that where
malaria is endemic —— .
A) the whole population is in poor health
B) it causes the death of very many young
children
C) people easily develop an immunity to the
disease
D) strenuous physical effort should be avoided
E) medical care is ineffective
61. It is clear from the passage that people who
have not been exposed to malaria or acquired in
immunity to it —— .
A) are only at risk if they are in poor health
B) have nothing to fear so long as they take
antimalarial drugs when in areas where it is
endemic
C) can very easily contract the disease
D) should take certain precautions until they
have acquired an immunity
E) are in the majority even in regions where
malaria is endemic
62- Which could be the best title for the passage ?
A) The severity of Malaria in terms of humans
B) Deep impact of Malaria in African countries
C) Misunderstanding about Malaria and other

American schools need more time if they are to
teach efficiently. The school year is fixed at or
below 180 days in all but a handful of states – down
from more than 190 in the late nineteenth century,
when Saturday-morning sessions were common.
The instructional day is only about six hours, of
which much is taken up with nonacademic matters.
In 1994, a national commission calculated that in
four years of high school a typical American student
puts in less than half as much time on academic
subjects as do students in Japan, France and
Germany. Extending the school day or the school
year can get expensive and complicated, and
reducing nonacademic electives and physical
education brings complaints from parents and
students alike. But there is one quite cheap and
uncomplicated way to increase study time: add
more homework. You may not be surprised to learn
that homework raises student achievement, at
least in the higher grades. For young children
homework appears not to be particularly helpful.
Even among older students it is hard to be sure of
the extent to which more homework may lead to
higher achievement.
63. We understand from the passage that school
programmes in America ----.
A) are of little concern to the parents, and so they
tend to ignore them
B) are at present being reviewed by a national
commission
C) do not put much emphasis on academic learning
D) are run on similar lines to those in the rest of the
world
E) have been extensively revised since 1994
64. It is pointed out in the passage that in some
countries, like Japan, France and Germany, ----.
A) the school curricula allow roughly equal time for
academic and nonacademic subjects
B) the school year is far too long and this makes it
unproductive
C) students are given less homework than their
American counterparts
D) achievement correlates well with the length of
the school day
E) the amount of time students spend on academic
learning far exceeds that spent by American
students
65. According to the passage, any extension of the
instructional day in American schools ----.
A) is not to be recommended on account of the
expenses involved
B) would arouse much discontent among parents
and students
C) needs to be reviewed by a national commission
D) should aim to bring them up to the level of
Japanese schools
E) would have to have the approval of all the states
66. It is clear from the passage that the writer ----.
A) is urging schools to assign more homework to
students of all grades
B) is doubtful about the benefits of homework for
lower-grade students
C) believes that the school day should be extended
D) is opposed to reducing the school year from 190
to 180 days
E) is convinced of the need for more electives,
including physical education

DIALOGUE
67- Frank: I heard you are taking a Spanish
class at the community college.
Jerry: Yes, I'm going to Guatemala next spring
and I thought knowing a little Spanish would
make the trip easier.
Frank: ………
Jerry: I have a course catalogue. We can see
whether or not they're offering a French course
next semester.
A) I had done the same thing when I went to
live with my sister who is living in France.
B) It will take you more time to master it.
C) Could you tell me how you found the course?
D) I'm visiting my brother in Marseilles next
year. Maybe I should take a French class.
E) Are you satisfied with that course? D
68. Antonio: What do you think of the recent
developments in the economy?
Julia: ……..
Antonio: Don't you? The inflation has recently
reached its highest level in the nation's history.
Julia: But it is not surprising for such a bad
economy management as ours.
A) I don't think there is a problem. We are the
best when it is economy management.
B) Everything seems to be alright but I don't
think I am good at economic comments.
C) I think unless they take some precautions, it
will really be a hard year for most of us.
D) I am so busy with my work that I don't have
time to watch news at all and I have no idea
what's going on lately.
E) I am the last one to ask such a question as I
hate economics.
69. Alec : If they can predict when one
particular volcano will erupt, why can’t they
predict when any volcano will erupt?
James : Because no two volcanoes are
alike. Each needs to be studied so that its
warning signals can be recognised.
Alec : ----
James : Yes. But it will take time, of course. And
there are only two volcano-watching satellites
orbiting Earth and these aren’t enough.
A) Why is that? Surely one volcano is very like
another?
B) That sounds reasonable enough. Is this being
done?
C) Well, what are they doing about it?
D) Isn’t volcanic activity related to earthquakes?
E) But they’ve been carrying out research on
volcanoes for years! How is it we know so little
about them?

70. Teacher : As you know, many of the animals
that existed in the past have become extinct;
that is, they have disappeared from the face of
the earth, mostly as a result of human activities.
Student : Is it only human activities that have
caused the extinction of animals?
Teacher : ----
Student : I think dinosaurs could be an example
of such extinct species. I read in a science
magazine that they became extinct when a
huge meteor hit the earth, millions of years
before humans existed.
A) No. There are other causes that have
resulted in extinction. Can you think of any
examples?
B) What we do to our planet is more than
enough to cause extinction.
C) Mostly, yes. Just think of the dinosaurs,
which became extinct some 65 million years
ago.
D) Of course. Natural events have never caused
the extinction of any species other than the
dinosaurs.
E) Indeed, the human contribution to natural
disasters cannot be ignored, as in the case of
dinosaurs.
71. Reporter: Do you reward your employees
based on individual performance or group
work?
Businessman: I think placing people with
different skills and knowledge together
improves the overall quality of the work, so I
promote team work.
Reporter: ----
Businessman: Yes. Last month, one of my
employees won the lottery and gave some
money to his colleagues. Since then, they all
have been communicating effectively and
making important decisions.
A) In fact, people with certain characteristics
may fail to work in a group and feel
uncomfortable. Do you have any employees of
that sort?
B) I’ve interviewed many businessmen, and
you’re one of the most successful ones. I’m sure
your employees respect you a lot, am I wrong?
C) But many say one member’s behaviour or
experience in a team leads to changes in others’
performances. Do you agree?
D) Surveys show many employers don’t care
about their workers’ demands. Are there any
areas your employees complain about?
E) Suppose that one of your employees weren’t
able to complete his or her work on time. How
would you react to it?

PARAGRAPH COMPLETION
72. Wi-Fi is based on radio waves whose
frequency is similar to that of microwaves. And
given what microwave oven can do to chicken
nuggets, it is not surprising that there has been
concern that exposure to Wi-Fi could be
unhealthy. Fortunately, however, Wi-Fi waves
are emitted at far lower intensities than
microwaves in ovens. ---- Even so,
some people shall worry that even this far
weaker effect could cause damage after years
of exposure.
A) The microwave ovens heat food very quickly
using electromagnetic waves rather than the
heat.
B) We should also worry about rare hazardous
things like tripping over the cables we use at
home.
C) As a result, they cannot produce anything like
the same heating effect.
D) Researchers are trying to come up with
accurate findings on what health risks are linked
to Wi-Fi.
E) Many places like shopping malls and
restaurants have free Wi-Fi zone where people
use the Internet.
73-Recently scientists have been working on a
completely new idea: The idea of obtaining
fresh water from the air. Winds coming from
the sea carry a lot of water vapour. This
vapour condenses into water if it strikes
something cold. If scientists can build a large
condenser, then they can collect and store
fresh water easily. ---- . That's why scientists
are looking for ways of reducing the cost.
A) Sea water is heated until the water
evaporates and the salt is left behind.
B) Unfortunately, the main problem with all of
the mentioned methods is their high cost
C) Such a high quantity causes dehydration in
human body; that is, the body loses the liquids
necessary for life.
D) Another way to solve the problem of fresh
water is to make use of the most abundant
source of water we have: the sea.
E) Today, finding a source of fresh water is
becoming more and more difficult.

74- Earthquakes are the most dangerous and
deadly of all natural events. They occur in
many parts of the world. Giant earthquakes
have been recorded in Iran, China, Guatemala,
Chile, India, and Alaska. ---- . These
earthquakes measured about 8.5 on the
Richter Scale. The Richter Scale was devised by
Charles Richter in 1935 and is used for
comparing the energy level of earthquakes.
A) Earthquakes are caused by the
movement of rocks along cracks, or faults, in
the earth's surface
B) Two of the biggest earthquakes that were
ever recorded took place in
China and Alaska
C) The fault is produced when rocks near each
other are pulled in different directions
D) These countries have set up stations in areas
of their countries where earthquakes are
known to occur
E) They watched for changes in the water level
and temperature, which were signs of
movement along faults
75- Anxiety disorders are a group of mental
disorders characterized by feelings of anxiety
and fear, where anxiety is a worry about
future events and fear is a reaction to current
events.These feelings may cause physical
symptoms, such as a racing heart and
shakiness. ………. While each has its own
characteristics and symptoms, they all include
symptoms of anxiety.
A) This may explain why anxious people are less
likely to die due to accidents
B) Anxiety is not the same as fear, which is a
response to a real or perceived immediate
threat.
C) They often occur with other mental
disorders, particularly bipolar disorder, eating
disorders or certain personality disorders
D) There are various forms of anxiety disorders,
including generalized anxiety disorder, phobic
disorder, and panic disorder.
E) Fear and anxiety can be differentiated in four
domains

76-(I) Tides are the result of the gravitational
pull of both the Moon and the Sun which cause
a swell of water to sweep across the oceans
twice a day. (II) Even so, in some parts of the
world one is hardly aware of high tide and low
tide. (III) This swell is only about 1 metre high,
but it contains a huge volume of water. (IV) As
it tries to squeeze into a tight inlet, the result
can be a substantial rise in sea level at high tide
and a huge tidal range. (V) The world’s largest
tidal range is thought to be in the Bay of Fundy
in Nova Scotia.

cruisers. (II) The journey time from Earth to
Mars could be reduced from six months to less
than six weeks. (III) In reality, though, the
scariest menaces for humans in space
are the tiniest: fast-moving elementary particles
known as cosmic rays. (IV) On a long journey,
these would give astronauts a dose of radiation
serious enough to cause cancer. (V) Unlike most

hunger are not regulated only by energy
balance in the body, but also by human
psychology.(II) Some researchers have begun to
suspect that obesity, eating disorders, and even
the ordinary urges of appetite may resemble
drug addiction. (III) Studies on rats show that
every drop of sugar syrup they swallow causes a
surge in their dopamine levels – a sign of desire
and a biochemical marker of substance abuse.
(IV) Boosting dopamine time after time is what
drugs of abuse do. (V) That makes scientists
wonder whether food also has addictive
properties.
