Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question:
AMERICAN FAMILY
Belonging to a family is one bond almost everyone in the world shares, but family patterns vary
from country to country. The United States has many different types of families. While most American
families are traditional, comprising a father, mother and one or more children, 22.5 percent of all
American families in 1983 were headed by one parent, usually a woman. In a few families in the
United States, there are no children. These childless couples may believe that they would not make
good parents; they may want freedom from the responsibilities of child-rearing; or, perhaps they are
not physically able to have children. Other families in the United States have one adult who is a
stepparent. A stepmother or stepfather is a person who joins a family by marrying a father or mother.
Americans tolerate and accept these different types of families. In the United States, people have
the right to privacy and Americans do not believe in telling other Americans what type of family
group they must belong to. They respect each other’s choices regarding family groups.
Families are very important to Americans. One sign that this is true is that Americans show great
concern about the family as an institution. Many Americans believe there are too many divorces. They
worry that teenagers are not obeying their parents. They are concerned about whether working women
can properly care for their children.
Families give Americans a sense of belonging and a sense of tradition. Families give Americans
strength and purpose.
Families serve many functions. They provide a setting in which children can be born and reared.
Families help educate their members. Parents teach their children values - what they think is important.
They teach their children daily skills, such as how to ride a bicycle. They also teach them common
practices and customs, such as respect for elders and celebrating holidays. The most important job for a
family is to give emotional support and security.
39. How many types of families exist there in the USA?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
40. What is the attitude of Americans to the types of family groups?
A. permissive B. disagreeable C. careless D. reckless

A. Because marriage is not easy in America.
B. Because family is the best place for them to live in.
C. Because only women in families are able to care for their children well.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
word for each of the blanks from 36 to 40.
Traditionally, Americans and Asians have very different ideas about love and marriage. Americans believe in
“romantic” marriage – a boy and a girl _______5_______ each other, fall in love, and decide to marry each
other. Asians, on the other hand, believe in “contractual” marriage – the parents of the bride and the groom
decide on the marriage; and love – if it ever develops – is supposed to follow marriage, not precede it.
To show the differences, a survey was conducted among American, Chinese and Indian students to determine
their ______6______ toward love and marriage. Below is a summary of each group’s responses to the four key
values.
Physical attractiveness: The Americans are much more concerned than the Indians and the Chinese with
physical attractiveness _______7______ choosing a wife or a husband.
Confiding: Few Asian students agree with the American students’ view that wives and husbands share all
thoughts. ______8_______ the Indians and the Chinese think it is better and wiser for a couple not to share
certain thoughts.
Partnership of equals: The majority of Asian students reject the American view that marriage is a partnership of
equals. Many Indian students agree that a woman has to sacrifice _______9________ in a marriage than a man.
Trust built on love: Significantly, more Asian students than American students agree that a husband is obliged
to tell his wife where he has been if he comes home late. The American wife trusts her husband to do the right
thing just out of his love not duty.

Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question:
Marriage is one of the oldest human institutions and this is as true in Indian culture as anywhere else. In India
marriage, called “Kanyadana" or “donating a virgin”, is thought of as the greatest sacrifice that a father can
make and for the groom as an obligation to perpetuate his bloodline. Many people believe that a marriage is still
binding after death.
In early times girls were thought to be ready for marriage after puberty and later even children could be
married. Divorce and remarriage were not always possible. By Medieval times Marriage was compulsory for
girls, who very often married between the ages of eight and nine. Among those able to afford it, polygamy was
common and rulers would often have one wife from their own region and other minor wives from other areas.
Now, divorce and remarriage is possible and non-Muslim Indian men can only have one wife.
Although are many regional variations, some features of the Indian wedding ceremony are similar throughout
the country. In general weddings are very complicated events and involve long negotiations about dowry
payments prior to the event. After this has been decided a day is chosen by asking an astrologer to find a lucky
day. Preparations begin early because a marriage is not only one of the highlights a person’s life, but a large and
complex social gathering to organize.
The night before, the bride, her friends and female relatives gather together for a party called a “mehendi”,
where they paint each other’s hands and feet with Henna and dance and listen to music. Her guests often give
the bride advice about married life and tease her about her future husband. Weddings are traditionally held at
the bride’s home or in a temple, but parks, hotels and marriage halls are becoming increasingly popular. On the
day, a wedding altar or “mandapa” is built and covered in flowers. All of the wedding ceremony will be held in
the altar.
The clothing a couple wear on their wedding day varies between regions and ethnic groups. Women most
commonly wear a sari. The bride wears a lot of jewelry as this symbolizes the prosperity she will bring to her
new family. In the South wearing flowers is common. The groom wears traditional costume or a suit. Turbans
are also popular headgear.
The ceremony begins with a mixture of turmeric, sandalwood paste and oils being applied to the couples face
and arms. In the past this was done to the whole body, but now it is only symbolic, with only a little being
rubbed on. Then they are showered in flowers. After this they perform the rituals that will make them man and
wife. First they garland each other and then take seven symbolic steps together representing seven gifts and
seven promises.
Finally they say the vows and then they are legally married. The bride’s father or guardian takes her hands and
puts them in her husband’s giving her to him. Now she is no longer a member of her father’s family, but a
member of her husband’s. They then touch the feet of their elders for luck.
After the wedding ceremony, the couple go to the groom’s house. The bride should be careful to enter the house
right foot first for luck. In the evening and late into the night the families and their guests celebrate with
dancing, music and food.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs, and other parts' of the body and faces are the
most pervasive types of nonverbal messages and the most difficult to control. 'It is estimated that there
are over 200.000 physical signs capable of stimulating meaning in another person. For example, there
are 23 distinct eyebrow movements, each capable of stimulating a different meaning.
Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements and postures.
Body movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked. Because such avenues
of communication are visual, they travel much farther than spoken words and are unaffected by the
presence of noise that interrupts, or cancels out speech.
People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit. We tend to be more relaxed with friends
or when addressing those of lower status. Body orientation also indicates status or liking of the other
individual. More direct orientation is related to a more positive attitude.
Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly support or reject
the spoken word. If these two means of communication are dichotomized and contradict each other,
some result will be a disordered image and most often the nonverbal will dominate.
39. How many are there physical signs capable of stimulating meaning in another person.
A. over 200 million B. about 200 thousand
C. over 200 thousand D. about 200 million

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 50.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a
disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes
which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect,
and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are
very supportive of their child.
Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking
him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50
kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his
father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music
competitions if he is unwilling.
Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful
musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they
are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not
win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and
unhappy.
31. One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ______.
A. push their child into trying too much B. help their child to become a genius
C. make their child become a musician D. neglect their child’s education
32. Who have criticized the methods of some ambitious parents?
A. Successful musicians. B. Unrealistic parents.
C. Their children. D. Educational psychologists.
33. Michael Collins is fortunate in that ______.
A. his father is a musician B. his parents are quite rich
C. his mother knows little about music D. his parents help him in a sensible way
34. The phrase "crazy about" in the passage mostly means ______.
A. "surprised at" B. "extremely interested in"
C. "completely unaware of" D. "confused about"
35. Winston’s parents push their son so much and he ______.
A. has won a lot of piano competitions B. cannot learn much music from them
C. has become a good musician D. is afraid to disappoint them

Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it
gives people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study
for their exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the world,
spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such as
helping on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.
One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different
social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are
available.
A quarter of students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive
government help.
“I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young
people", as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. ''You learn to live with people
and respect them, even the ones you don't like. During the summer holidays my mother couldn't
believe how much less I argued with my sister."

really seem to work.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40
In the future, maybe all cars that run on petrol will be replaced by solar cars, which have been
around for a while, but with recent developments in solar car design and the measurement of
photovoltaic cells becoming smaller, the dream of a truly efficient solar car is more reality than
fantasy. A solar car is a vehicle powered by photovoltaic cells, also called solar cells, which convert
sunlight (light energy) into electrical energy. As a source of energy on earth, there is nothing like
the sun: in a mere one thousandth of one second (.001), the sun emits enough energy to fulfill our
planet's energy needs for the next 5,000 years. It is a staggering fact, and an exciting one. Since the
energy from the sun is responsible for renewable resources such as wind, tides, and heat, solar
energy seems to offer the brightest future for not only cars, but for the entire energy crisis. Despite
the appearance that solar energy may be the least feasible among the current crop of alternative fuel
21
propositions, new solar powered devices and more specifically solar powered cars are beginning to
be developed. How do Solar. Cars work?
The photo-voltaic cells absorb photons from sunlight. This action generates heat, which the
cells then convert into electrical energy and stores in an on-board battery. This process of
conversion is called the photovoltaic effect. Not surprisingly, such a vehicle has zero emissions, and
is very environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, at the moment photovoltaic cells are extremely
inefficient, yet as time progresses the efficiency of these cells will grow. This will make solar
energy and solar cars the fuel and car of the future-a closer reality.
39. According to the text, .
A. up to now, we have designed some solar cars
B. solar cars have been very popular for many years
C. we have not produced any solar cars yet
D. solar cars are not as much appreciated as other kinds of car
40. A solar car is supplied power from .
A. gas B. petrol C. photovoltaic cells D. electricity
41. Which can not help us to solve the problem of energy crisis?
A. wind B. tide C. the sun D. heat from the moon
42. According to the text,
A. no powered solar devices have been developed so far
B. besides solar car, we have also developed solar powered device
C. solar energy plans are more feasible than wind energy plans
D. tide can supply more energy than the sun
43.The photovoltaic effect is .
A. the process of operating a solar car
B. the process of absorbing photons from the sun
C. the developing of solar cars and solar powered devices
D. the converting of heat from the sun into electricity
44. The word feasible can be replaced by ________
A. teachable B. happy C. attractive D. practicable
45. How does the writer seem to feel about the future of solar cars?
