Read the passage carefully and then choose the best answer
People have been hunting whales for at least a thousand years, and there were no real problems until 20 th
century. What happened was that fishing technology became much more efficient and the ships were much
faster, so more and more whales were caught. In the 1960s the main whaling countries were killing more than
sixty thousand whales a year, and everyone began to realize that something had to be done.
It was environmental groups like Greenpeace that really made things change. They set out to make people
aware of the fact that whales were fast becoming extinct. But even now we don’t know if all this interest has
become too late. Let’s take the great blue whale for example, which at thirty to forty metres long is the
biggest animal there has ever been – now there are perhaps about two thousand or so left. In fact they have
been protected for quite a long time, but there is no sign that the population is growing.

Choose the word or phrase (A, B, C or D) that best fits the blank space in the following passage
Up to about 1915, movies were short and programs were made up of several works. Then, D. W. Griffith and
others began to make longer films that provided the same powerful emotional appeal as melodrama did and pre-
sented spectacles far beyond what the theater could offer. Consequently, after World War I increasing numbers
of spectators deserted the theater for the movies. This trend was accelerated in the late 1920s as a result of two
new elements. In 1927, sound was added to the previously silent film, and thus one of the theater's principal
claims to superiority vanished. In 1929, a serious economic depression began. Since audiences could go to the
movies for a fraction of what it cost to see a play, theater going became a luxury that few could afford,
especially as the depression deepened.
By the end of World War II, the American theaters had been reduced to about thirty theaters in New York City
and a small number of touring companies originating there.

VI. Read the passage then choose the correct answer
They call New York “the Big Apple”. Maybe it’s not exactly like an apple but it’s certainly very big. There
are too many people, and that’s the problem. The streets are always full of cars and trucks, and you can never
find a place to park.
If you have enough money, you can take a taxi. New York cabs are yellow. They look all the same. But the
drivers are very different. Some were born and raised in New York, but many are newcomers to the United
States. A few drive slowly, but most go very, very fast. Cab driving is a difficult job. It can be dangerous, too.
Thieves often try to steal the driver’s money. Drivers sometimes get hurt.
If you don’t want to take a taxi, you can go by bus or you can take the subway. The subway is quick, and
it’s cheap, but parts of it are old and dirty. Lights don’t always work and there are often fires on the track. On
some subway lines, there are new, clean, silver trains. But you can’t see the color of the old trains easily. There
is too much dirt and too much graffiti, inside and outside.
27. What is the problem of New York?
A. It has too many apples. B. It looks like an apple.
