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 46 to 55.
Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a childs upbringing can give
it the ability to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and
say that it is simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the
potential for great achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these
two extremes.
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will
increase a childs ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the
right upbringing and opportunities. As one psychologist says, To have a fast car, you need
both a good engine and fuel.
Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of
identical twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents.
They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the childs
environment.
One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a
normal upbringing, and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by

extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities.
That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed
even better.
This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable
the environment, the more a childs intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is
no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a childs family. In other words, it
does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.
Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by
them. One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three
years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their
ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years hard work and training in order to
reach the level they were capable of attaining.
People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
- Marry an intelligent person.
- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
- Start a childs education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.
- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a
child who wants to become an outstanding musician.
Question 46: The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires _____________
A. an expensive education
B. good musical instruments
C. parental support and encouragement
D. wealthy and loving parents

A. other people
B. other scientists
C. other children
D. other geniuses
Question 48: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that
_________
A. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement
B. intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability
C. ability depends both on intelligence and on environment
D. different twins generally have different levels of ability.
Question 49: Scientists chose twins for their study because ______________
A. each twin has the same environment as his/her twin
B. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing
C. they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities
D. they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence

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 56 to 65.
Million of people are using cell phones today. In many places,it is actually considered
unusual not to use one. In many countries,cell phones are very popular with young people.
They find that the phones are more than a means of communication having a mobile phone
shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone used around the world has made some health
professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer
health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate
about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such
ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people
who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected
with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young
age because of serious memory loss. He couldnt remember even simple tasks. He would
often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six
hours a day, every day of his working week , for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed
his mobile phone use, but his employers doctor didnt agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation.
High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile
phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to
worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that its best to use mobile
phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile
phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient,
especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says
they are bad for your health. So for now, its wise not to use your mobile phone so often.

The explosion in mobile phone used around the world has made some health
professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer
health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate
about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such
ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people
who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected
with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young
age because of serious memory loss. He couldnt remember even simple tasks. He would
often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six
hours a day, every day of his working week , for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed
his mobile phone use, but his employers doctor didnt agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation.Hightech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone
companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry
about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that its best to use mobile
phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile
phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient,
especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says
they are bad for your health. So for now, its wise not to use your mobile phone so often.

Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a childs upbringing can give
it the ability to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and
say that it is simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the
potential for great achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these
two extremes.
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will
increase a childs ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the
right upbringing and opportunities. As one psychologist says, To have a fast car, you need
both a good engine and fuel.
Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of
identical twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents.
They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the childs
environment.
One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a
normal upbringing, and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by
extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities.
That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed
even better.
This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable
the environment, the more a childs intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is
no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a childs family. In other words, it
does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.
Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by
them. One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three
years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their
ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years hard work and training in order to
reach the level they were capable of attaining.
People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
- Marry an intelligent person.
- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
- Start a childs education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.
- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a
child who wants to become an outstanding musician.
Question 46: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that
_________
A. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement

Million of people are using cell phones today. In many places,it is actually considered
unusual not to use one. In many countries,cell phones are very popular with young people.
They find that the phones are more than a means of communication having a mobile phone
shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone used around the world has made some health
professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer
health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate
about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such
ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.

who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected
with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young
age because of serious memory loss. He couldnt remember even simple tasks. He would
often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six
hours a day, every day of his working week , for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed
his mobile phone use, but his employers doctor didnt agree.

phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile
phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient,
especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says
they are bad for your health. So for now, its wise not to use your mobile phone so often.

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 11 to 20.
Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a childs upbringing can give
it the ability to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and
say that it is simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the
potential for great achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these
two extremes.
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will
increase a childs ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the

21

right upbringing and opportunities. As one psychologist says, To have a fast car, you need
both a good engine and fuel.
Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of
identical twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents.
They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the childs
environment.
One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a
normal upbringing, and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by
extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities.
That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed
even better.
This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable
the environment, the more a childs intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is
no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a childs family. In other words, it
does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.
Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by
them. One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three
years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their
ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years hard work and training in order to
reach the level they were capable of attaining.
People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
- Marry an intelligent person.
- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
- Start a childs education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.
- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a
child who wants to become an outstanding musician.
Question 11: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that
_________
A. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement
B. intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability
C. different twins generally have different levels of ability.
D. ability depends both on intelligence and on environment
Question 12: The word others used in the first paragraph refers to ______________
A. other people
B. other scientists
C. other children
D. other geniuses
Question 13: Scientists chose twins for their study because ______________
A. each twin has the same environment as his/her twin
B. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing
C. they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities
D. they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence
Question 14: How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their
development?
A. Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nutured.
B. They practised playing their instruments for many years.
C. They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas.
D. They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic.
Question 15: The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow _________
A. their parents interests
B. their own interests
C. only their interests in musical instruments
D. only their interests in computer
games
Question 16: When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid _____________
