PART A: MULTIPLE CHOICE ( 8 pts)

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 1 to 10 :
Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned vehicles, along with
breaththroughs in satellite technology and computer equipment, have overcome
some of the limitations of divers and diving equipment for scientists doing research
on the great oceans of the world. Without a vehicle, divers often became sluggish,
and their mental concentration was severely limited. Because undersea pressure
affects their speech organs, communication among divers has always been difficult
or impossible. But today, most oceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human
divers, preferring to reduce the risk to human life and make direct observations by
means of instruments that are lowered into the ocean, from samples taken from the
water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites. Direct observations of the
ocean floor can be made not only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines in
the water and even by the technology of sophisticated aerial photography from
vantage points above the surface of more than seven miles and cruise at the depth
of fifteen thousand feet. In addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by
remote control in order to transmit information back to land-based laboratories via
satellite. Particularly important for ocean study are data about water temperature,
currents, and weather. Satellite photographs can show the distribution of sea ice, oil
slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean. Maps created from satellite pictures
can represent the temperature and the color of the ocean's surface, enabling
researchers to study the ocean currents from laboratories on dry land. Furthermore ,
computers help oceanographers to collect, organize, and analyze data from
submarines and satellites. By creating a model of the ocean's movement and
characteristics, scientists can predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean
on the environment.
Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and
computers than on research ships or even submarine vehicles because they can
supply a greater range of information more quickly and more effectively. Some of
humankind's most serious problems, especially those concerning energy and food,
may be solved with the help of observations made possible by this new technology.

 Fertilizer is any substance that can be added to the soil to provide chemical
elements essential for plant nutrition. Natural substances such as animal droppings
and straw have been used as fertilizers for thousands of years, and line has been
used since the Romans introduced it during the Empire. It was not until the
nineteenth century, in fact, that chemical fertilizers became popular. Today, both
natural and synthetic fertilizers are available in a variety of forms.
A complete fertilizer is usually marked with a formula consisting of three
numbers, such as 4-8-2 or 4-6-4, which designate the percentage content of
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash in the order stated.
Synthetic fertilizers are available in either solid or liquid form. Solids, in the
shape of chemical granules are popular because they are easy to store and apply.
Recently of the nitrogen fertilizer used throughout the world. Formerly, powders
were also used, but these were found to be less convenient than either solids or
liquids.
Fertilizers have no harmful effects on the soil, the crop, or the consumer as long
as they used according to recommendations based on the results of local research.
Occasionally, however, farmers may use more fertilizer than necessary, damaging
not only the crop but also the animals or humans that eat it. Accumulations or
fertilizer in the water supply accelerate the growth of algae and, consequently, may
disturb the natural cycle of file, contributing to the death of fish. Too much
fertilizer on grass can cause digestive disorders in cattle and in infants who drink
cow's milk.

answer to each of the following questions.
The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to
give everyone on the planet access to information. Like other encyclopedias,
Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than 2.5 million articles in 200
different languages covering just about every subject. Unlike other encyclopedias,
however, Wikipedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These writers
are not paid and their names are not published. They contribute to Wikipedia
simply because they want to share their knowledge.
Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all
aspects of human knowledge. The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and
means "a complete general education". Real popularity for encyclopedias came in
the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the publication of
encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the
same amount of information could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the
Internet, it became possible to create an online encyclopedia that could be
constantly updated, like Microsoft's Encarta. However, even Internet-based
encyclopedias like Encarta were written by paid experts. At first, Wikipedia, the
brainchild of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in Chicago, was not so different from
these. In 2001, he had the idea for an Internet-based encyclopedia that would
provide information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore, that information
would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time.
But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were
needed to write the articles, and so he began by hiring experts. He soon changed his
approach, however, as it took them a long time to finish their work. He decided to
open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone would have access
not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information
online. To do this, he used what is known as "Wiki" software (from the Hawaiian
word for "fast"), which allows users to create or alter content on web page. The
system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can simply search for
information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles. If you find an
article that interests you - about your hometown, for example - you can correct it or
expand it. This process goes on until no one is interested in making any more
changes.
Question45. The phrase "these writers" in the first paragraph refers to _______.
A. ordinary readers B. every subject
C. encyclopedia experts D. ordinary people
Question46. We can say that Jimmy Wales _______.
A. decides who can use Wikipedia
B. became very famous after the formation of Wikipedia

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions.
Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at
home. In fact, the U.S. Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about
850,000 children were being homeschooled. Some educational experts say that the
real number is double this estimate, and the ranks of homeschooled children seem
to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent every year.
At one time, there was a theory accounting for homeschooling: it was
traditionally used for students who could not attend school because of behavioral or
learning difficulties. Today, however, more parents are taking on the responsibility
of educating their own children at home due to their dissatisfaction with the
educational system. Many parents are unhappy about class size, as well as
problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in
many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students. The children
are, therefore, deprived of the attention they need. Escalating classroom violence
has also motivated some parents to remove their children from school.
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling
in the U.S. has become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and
bigger. There are now plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help
parents protect their rights and enable them to learn more about educating their
children. Though once it was the only choice for troubled children, homeschooling
today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many believe is
failing.
Question55. The attitude of the author towards homeschooling can be best
described as _____.
A. acceptable B. unfavorable C. remarkable D. favorable

C. discouragement D. disappointment
Question59. The past participle "homeschooled" in the first paragraph is best

Question60. The number of parents who want to teach their own children in the
U.S. is _____.

C. remaining the same D. going up
