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.
LIVING ON MY OWN
When I tell people about the idea of moving out, many people’s reaction is like, “what do your parents
say?” because they assume parents would not like their children to leave them. I don’t know if my parents
like it, but they always support and respect my decisions. They think it is good for me to try and live on
my own and then I would know it is the best to stay with my family. The most important reason for
independent living is to save the travelling time to work. It used to take me one hour fifteen minutes to
travel to work from my previous living place.
From my new apartment, it just takes me thirty minutes, so I saved forty-five minutes’ travelling time.
I don’t have to get up early, and I save two thirds of my traveling cost. In addition, I gain my personal
space and freedom by independent living. I make my own decisions; I don’t have to say whether I would
go home for dinner; I can invite my friends to come and stay late.
Money is the main issue in living on your own. You have to be responsible for all the expenses.
Therefore, you’ve got to be well prepared and save up for your bills. Although I find my transportation
time much shorter, the saved time is spent on other things, such as cooking and other household chores.
Preparing and cooking the food do occupy a significant portion of my time, therefore I always try to make
simple meals. Moreover, I have to regularly tidy up my apartment and wash my clothes, so it doesn’t
really save much of my time after all.
Now I’m getting used to my new life, and I’m enjoying it. I feel that moving out makes it easier for me
to strike a balance between my work, my social life, my study and my family. It may be troublesome,
but it may be worth it.
(Adapted from https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/general-english)

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.
Becoming a teacher demands not only knowledge in an academic field but also a personal commitment
to lifelong learning, and enthusiasm for sharing knowledge with other people. To become one of those
noble educators in the USA, one has to satisfy several basic requirements.
First and foremost, it is a prerequisite to have bachelor's degree in education. In the event that a
candidate already has a bachelor's degree in another field, a teacher preparation program is needed. But
that is not all. Almost every school in the USA understands that real classroom teaching experience is a
vital part of a teacher's training. Before taking over a class, a person typically needs to complete a training
program, including working as a supervised student teacher.
People who want to become university teachers need master's degrees. Getting a master's degree is a
necessity, but if it is gained too early, there may be concerns that the candidate lacks the real-world
experience to go with it. In fact, very few schools want to hire novices with little or no classroom
experience and even if they are accepted, they are usually ill-paid. One wise solution to the issue is for
future postgraduates to start working as teachers before going on to gain their master's degree.
Besides knowledge and experience, certain personal qualities are also required. A teacher should be
positive, prepared, focused, and most importantly, patient. Being a teacher involves being aware of the
fact that learning sometimes be hard work, even for the most motivated students. Also, teaching can at
times be tiring and frustrating, so teaching candidates have to practice being patient with themselves.
In short, as in other careers, teaching requires a combination of qualifications, experience, and personal
qualities. Teaching candidates meeting mandatory requirements are always in demand in the USA.
Question 42. The text is mainly about ___________________.
A. the importance of teachers.
B. the difference of teaching career.
C. the basic requirements of being a teacher in the USA.
D. the advantages and disadvantages of being a teacher in the USA.
Question 43. The word “mandatory” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______ .
A. high B. optional C. compulsory D. interesting
Question 44. According to the text, teaching requires a combination of many things EXCEPT _______.
A. experience B. qualifications C. personal qualities D. appearance
Question 45. According to the text, the most important quality of a teacher is _______.
A. being prepared B. being to work hard C. being patient D. being a role model
Question 46. The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ____________.
A. novices B. postgraduates C. schools D. teachers
Question 47. According to the paragraph 3, teachers with little or no classroom experience ___________
A. will get high salary B. will get low salary C. will get no salary D. will get ill
