Part 3. Identify 10 errors in the following passage and correct them.

Line 1 The Chinese are very generous when it comes from the education of their
children. No caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best
schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their
children to take extra- course activities which they will either learn a musical instrument
or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe
Line 6 that the most expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an
unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer
for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early
education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their
children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in the others. What most parents
Line 11 fail to realize, though, is that today children lack self-respect and self-confidence. The
problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice
tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills
they need to be confident, happy, and clever. Parents can achieve this by teaching
practical skills as cooking, sewing, and doing another housework. Teaching a child to
Line 16 cook will improve much of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands
patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries
to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job
successfully. His result, a well-cook dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of
self-confidence.

Part 3. Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) according to the text. Write
6
your answers (A, B, C or D) in the corresponding numbered boxes.
ORIENTATION AND NAVIGATION
1. To South Americans, robins are birds that fly north every spring. To North Americans, the robins simply
vacation in the south each winter. Furthermore, they fly to very specific places in South America and will often
come back to the same trees in North American yards the following spring. The question is not why they would
leave the cold of winter so much as how they find their way around. The question perplexed people for years,
until, in the 1950s, a German scientist named Gustave Kramer provided some answers and. in the process, raised
new questions.
2. Kramer initiated important new kinds of research regarding how animals orient and navigate. Orientation
is simply facing in the right direction; navigation involves finding ones way from point A to point B.
3. Early in his research, Kramer found that caged migratory birds became very restless at about the time
they would normally have begun migration in the wild. Furthermore, he noticed that as they fluttered around in
the cage, they often launched themselves in the direction of their normal migratory route. He then set up
experiments with caged starlings and found that their orientation was, in fact, in the proper migratory
direction except when the sky was overcast, at which times there was no clear direction to their restless
movements. Kramer surmised, therefore, that they were orienting according to the position of the Sun. To test
this idea, he blocked their view of the Sun and used mirrors to change its apparent position. He found that under
these circumstances, the birds oriented with respect to the new "Sun." They seemed to be using the Sun as a
compass to determine direction. At the time, this idea seemed preposterous. How could a bird navigate by the
Sun when some of us lose our way with road maps? Obviously, more testing was in order.
4. So, in another set of experiments, Kramer put identical food boxes around the cage, with food in only one
of the boxes. The boxes were stationary, and the one containing food was always at the same point of the
compass. However, its position with respect to the surroundings could be changed by revolving either the inner
cage containing the birds or the outer walls, which served as the background. As long as the birds could see the
Sun, no matter how their surroundings were altered, they went directly to the correct food box. Whether the box
appeared in front of the right wall or the left wall, they showed no signs of confusion. On overcast days,
however, the birds were disoriented and had trouble locating their food box.
5. In experimenting with artificial suns, Kramer made another interesting discovery. If the artificial Sun
remained stationary, the birds would shift their direction with respect to it at a rate of about 15 degrees per hour,
the Sun's rate of movement across the sky. Apparently, the birds were assuming that the "Sun" they saw was
moving at that rate. When the real Sun was visible, however, the birds maintained a constant direction as it
moved across the sky. In other words, they were able to compensate for the Sun's movement. This meant that
some sort of biological clock was operating-and a very precise clock at that.
6. What about birds that migrate at night? Perhaps they navigate by the night sky. To test the idea, caged
night-migrating birds were placed on the floor of a planetarium during their migratory period. A planetarium is
essentially a theater with a domelike ceiling onto which a night sky can be projected for any night of the year.
When the planetarium sky matched the sky outside, the birds fluttered in the direction of their normal migration.
But when the dome was rotated, the birds changed their direction to match the artificial sky. The results clearly
indicated that the birds were orienting according to the stars.
7. There is accumulating evidence indicating that birds navigate by using a wide variety of environmental
cues. Other areas under investigation include magnetism, landmarks, coastlines, sonar, and even smells. The
studies are complicated by the fact that the data are sometimes contradictory and the mechanisms apparently
change from time to time. Furthermore, one sensory ability may back up another.
1. Which of the following can be inferred about bird migration from paragraph 1?
A. Birds will take the most direct migratory route to their new habitat.
B. The purpose of migration is to join with larger groups of birds.
C. Bird migration generally involves moving back and forth between north and south.
D. The destination of birds' migration can change from year to year.
2. The word ‘perplexed’ in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. defeated B. interested C. puzzled D. occupied
3. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the
passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
A. Experiments revealed that caged starlings displayed a lack of directional sense and restless movements.
B. Experiments revealed that caged starlings were unable to orient themselves in the direction of their normal
migratory route.
7
 C. Experiments revealed that the restless movement of caged starlings had no clear direction.
D. Experiments revealed that caged starlings' orientation was accurate unless the weather was overcast.
4. According to paragraph 3, why did Kramer use mirrors to change the apparent position of the Sun?
A. To test the effect of light on the birds' restlessness
B. To test whether birds were using the Sun to navigate
C. To simulate the shifting of light the birds would encounter along their regular migratory route
D. To cause the birds to migrate at a different time than they would in the wild
5. According to paragraph 3, when do caged starlings become restless?
A. When the weather is overcast
B. When they are unable to identify their normal migratory route
C. When their normal time for migration arrives
D. When mirrors are used to change the apparent position of the Sun
6. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 4 about Kramer’s reason for filling one food box and
leaving the rest empty?
A. He believed the birds would eat food from only one box.
B. He wanted to see whether the Sun alone controlled the birds' ability to navigate toward the box with food.
C. He thought that if all the boxes contained food, this would distract the birds from following their
migratory route.
D. He needed to test whether the birds preferred having the food at any particular point of the compass.
7. According to paragraph 5, how did the birds fly when the real Sun was visible?
A. They kept the direction of their flight constant.
B. They changed the direction of their flight at a rate of 15 degrees per hour.
C. They kept flying toward the Sun.
D. They flew in the same direction as the birds that were seeing the artificial Sun.
8. The experiment described in paragraph 5 caused Kramer to conclude that birds possess a biological clock
because
A. when birds navigate they are able to compensate for the changing position of the Sun in the sky
B. birds innate bearings keep them oriented in a direction that is within 15 degrees of the Suns direction
C. birds' migration is triggered by natural environmental cues, such as the position of the Sun
D. birds shift their direction at a rate of 15 degrees per hour whether the Sun is visible or not
9. According to paragraph 6, how did the birds navigate in the planetarium's nighttime environment?
A. By waiting for the dome to stop rotating
B. By their position on the planetarium floor
C. By orienting themselves to the stars in the artificial night sky
D. By navigating randomly until they found the correct orientation
10. Which of the following best describes the author's presentation of information in the passage?
A. A number of experiments are described to support the idea that birds use the Sun and the night sky to
navigate.
B. The author uses logic to show that the biological clock in birds is inaccurate.
C. A structured argument about the importance of internal versus external cues for navigation is presented.
D. The opposing points of view about bird migration are clarified through the study of contrasting
experiments.

Part 4. Read the passage and answer questions

THE LITTLE ICE AGE
A This book will provide a detailed examination of the Little Ice Age and other climatic shifts, but, before I
embark on that, let me provide a historical context. We tend to think of climate - as opposed to weather - as
something unchanging, yet humanity has been at the mercy of climate change for its entire existence, with at
least eight glacial episodes in the past 730,000 years. Our ancestors adapted to the universal but irregular
global warming since the end of the last great Ice Age, around 10,000 years ago, with dazzling opportunism.
They developed strategies for surviving harsh drought cycles, decades of heavy rainfall or unaccustomed cold;

8
 adopted agriculture and stock-raising, which revolutionised human life; and founded the world's first pre-
industrial civilisations in Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Americas. But the price of sudden climate change, in
famine, disease and suffering, was often high.
B The Little Ice Age lasted from roughly 1300 until the middle of the nineteenth century. Only two centuries
ago, Europe experienced a cycle of bitterly cold winters; mountain glaciers in the Swiss Alps were the lowest
in recorded memory, and pack ice surrounded Iceland for much of the year. The climatic events of the Little
Ice Age did more than help shape the modern world. They are the deeply important context for the current
unprecedented global warming. The Little Ice Age was far from a deep freeze, however; rather an irregular
seesaw of rapid climatic shifts, few lasting more than a quarter-century, driven by complex and still little
understood interactions between the atmosphere and the ocean. The seesaw brought cycles of intensely cold
winters and easterly winds, then switched abruptly to years of heavy spring and early summer rains, mild
winters, and frequent Atlantic storms, or to periods of droughts, light northeasterly winds, and summer heat
waves.
C Reconstructing the climate changes of the past is extremely difficult, because systematic weather observations
began only a few centuries ago, in Europe and North America. Records from India and tropical Africa are
even more recent. For the time before records began, we have only 'proxy records' reconstructed largely from
tree rings and ice cores, supplemented by a few incomplete written accounts. We now have hundreds of tree-
ring records from throughout the northern hemisphere, and many from south of the equator, too, amplified
with a growing body of temperature data from ice cores drilled in Antarctica, Greenland the Peruvian Andes,
and other locations. We are close to a knowledge of annual summer and winter temperature variations over
much of the northern hemisphere going back 600 years.
D This book is a narrative history of climatic shifts during the past ten centuries, and some of the ways in which
people in Europe adapted to them. Part One describes the Medieval Warm Period, roughly 900 to 1200.
During these three centuries, Norse voyagers from Northern Europe explored northern seas, settled
Greenland, and visited North America. It was not a time of uniform warmth, for then, as always since the
Great Ice Age, there were constant shifts in rainfall and temperature. Mean European temperatures were
about the same as today, perhaps slightly cooler.

E It is known that the Little Ice Age cooling began in Greenland and the Arctic in about 1200. As the Arctic ice
pack spread southward, Norse voyages to the west were rerouted into the open Atlantic, then ended altogether.
Storminess increased in the North Atlantic and North Sea. Colder, much wetter weather descended on Europe
between 1315 and 1319, when thousands perished in a continent-wide famine. By 1400, the weather had
become decidedly more unpredictable and stormier, with sudden shifts and lower temperatures that
culminated in the cold decades of the late sixteenth century. Fish were a vital commodity in growing towns
and cities, where food supplies were a constant concern. Dried cod and herring were already the staples of the
European fish trade, but changes in water temperatures forced fishing fleets to work further offshore. The
Basques, Dutch, and English developed the first offshore fishing boats adapted to a colder and stormier
Atlantic. A gradual agricultural revolution in northern Europe stemmed from concerns over food supplies at a
time of rising populations. The revolution involved intensive commercial farming and the growing of animal
fodder on land not previously used for crops. The increased productivity from farmland made some countries
self-sufficient in grain and livestock and offered effective protection against famine.
