Read the following sentences and choose the best answer.

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, was one of the truly great men of all time. He
preserved the American Union during the Civil War and proved to the world that democracy can be a
lasting form of government. Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and many of his other speeches and
writings, are classic statements of democratic beliefs and goals.

Lincoln’s outstanding asset was insight. Lincoln realized at the beginning of the Civil War that the
Union must be saved. The United Sates was the only important democracy in the world. Lincoln knew
that self-government would be proved a failure if the nation could be destroyed by a minority of its
own people. He determined that the nation and democracy would not be destroyed.
Lincoln’s second greatest asset was his ability to express his convictions so clearly, and with such
force, that millions of Americans made them their own. Lincoln would have been surprised that some
of his speeches came to be honoured as great literature. He sought only to be understood, and to
convince.
Lincoln’s third great source of strength was his iron will. The Civil War had to be carried on until the
Union was restored. At times, people in the North wavered in this purpose. Lincoln never doubted that
in the end, right would make might, and the North would triumph. His unyielding faith in victory
helped to win victory.
51. According to the passage, what was the Gettysburg Address?
A. A declaration of war against the South. B. A famous talk by Lincoln on democratic
principles.
C. One of the essays on government written by Lincoln. D. Lincoln’s
speech at his inauguration.
52. According to the passage, what was Abraham Lincoln’s greatest strength?
A. The ability to see the true nature of a situation. B. The capacity to express his views in
public.
C. His success in becoming president of the United States. D. The impact of
his speeches and writings.
53. The author probably feels that Lincoln ____________.
A. was at times too stubborn for his own good B. never fully realized the importance of
self-government
C. was as great a writer as he was a politician D. was single-handedly responsible for
saving the Union
54. The passage would most likely be found in a textbook on which of the following subjects?
A. Historical literature B. Public administration C. The Civil War D. Political
science
55. According to the passage, Abraham Lincoln believed that the North __________.

 A. would quickly triumph over the minority of people trying to destroy the Union.
B. would achieve victory through the moral power of its cause.
C. did not have the strength to continue the Civil War for a long time.
D. could waver in its purpose and lose the struggle.

Read the passage below. Then choose one best answer (A, B, C, or D).
At birth, the infant has only the most elementary emotional life. Newborns show an expression of
disgust, for example, in response to strong tastes and show surprise in reaction to sudden changes.
They also show interest, which developmental psychologists consider an emotion in its own right.
By ten months, infants display the full range of what are considered the basic emotions: joy, anger,
sadness, disgust, surprise, and fear. The emergence of the basic motions during the first year or two of
life seems to be programmed by a biological clock for brain development. As the appropriate brain
maturation occurs, the various emotions appear in an infant’s repertory. For example, studies of brain
activity in ten-month-olds show that the right frontal regions are more active during positive emotions
and the left during negative emotions.
42. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Measuring Infant Intelligence and Brain Development B. Brain
Maturation and Emotional Growth in Infants
C. Stimulating the Development of Infant Emotions D. Positive and Negative Emotions in Infants

next.

Read the following passage. Then choose the best option (A, B, C or D).
People are often surprised to learn just how long some varieties of trees can live. If asked to
estimate the age of the oldest living trees on Earth, they often come up with guesses in the
neighborhood of two or perhaps three hundred years. The real answer is considerably larger than that,
more than five thousand years.
The tree that wins the prize for its considerable maturity is the bristlecone pine of California.
This venerable pine predates wonders of the ancient world such as the pyramids of Egypt, the Hanging
Gardens of Babylon, and the Colossus of Rhodes. It is not nearly as tall as the giant redwood that is
also found in California, and in fact, it is actually not very tall compared with many other trees, often
little more than five meters in height. This relatively short height may be one of the factors that aid the
bristlecone pine in living in a ripe old age – high winds and inclementweather cannot easily reach the
shorter trees and cause damage. An additional factor that contributes to the long life of the bristlecone
pine is that this type of tree has a high percentage of resin, which prevents rot from developing in the
tree trunk and branches.
51. The best title for this passage would be _______________.
A. The Size of the Bristlecone Pine B. Three-Hundred-Year-Old-Forests
C. The Wonders of the Ancient World D. An Amazingly Enduring Tree

A. are quite accurate in their estimates of the ages of trees B. have two to
three hundred trees in their neighborhoods C. do not really
have any idea how old the oldest trees on Earth are
D. can name some three-hundred-year-old-trees
55. According to the passage, approximately how old are the oldest trees on Earth?
A. Two hundred years old B. Three hundred years old C. Five hundred

Read the following passage. Then choose the best option (A, B, C or D).
My family consists of four people. There’s my father whose name is Jan, my mother whose name is
Marie, my brother, Peter and of course, me. I have quite a large extended family as well but, only the
four of us live together in our apartment in a block of flats. My father is fifty-two years old. He works
as an accountant in an insurance company. He is tall and slim, has got short brown and gray hair and
blue eyes. My father likes gardening very much as well as listening to music and reading books about
political science. His special hobbies are bird watching and travelling.
Now I’ll describe my mother and my brother. My mother is forty-seven and she works as a nurse in a
hospital. She is small, and slim, has short brown hair and green eyes. She likes bird watching and
travelling too, so whenever my parents are able to they go some place interesting for nature watching.
Since we have a cottage with a garden they both spend a lot of time there. My brother is sixteen. He is

12
slim and has short brown hair and blue eyes. He also attends high school. He is interested in computers
and sports like football and hockey. He also spends a lot of time with his friends.
I have only one grandmother left still living. She is in pretty good health even at the age of seventy-
eight so she still lives in her own flat. I enjoy spending time with her when I can. Both my grandfathers
died from cancer because they were smokers, which was really a great tragedy because I didn’t get
chance to know them. My other grandmother died just a few years ago. I also have a lot of aunts,
uncles, and cousins. The cousin I’m closest to is my uncle’s daughter Pauline. We have a lot in
common because we are both eighteen and so we are good friends.
My parents have assignedme certain duties around the house. I don’t mind helping out because
everyone in a family should contribute in some way. I help with the washing up, the vacuuming and
the shopping. Of course I also have to help keep my room tidy as well. My brother is responsible for
the dusting and mopping. He also has to clean his own room. Even though my brother and I sometimes
fight about who has to do what job, we are still very close. I am also very close to my parents and I can
rely on them to help me. My patents work together to keep our home well maintained and it seem they
always have a project or another that they are working on. They respect each other’s opinions and even
if they disagree they can always come to a compromise. I hope in the future that I have a family like
ours.
