IV. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers
Friendship is a big statement. Lots of people are lovers but are not friends. Lots of people are relatives but are
not friends. Lots of people who work together are not friends. You can appreciate or admire someone, but that
does not mean you make him or her a friend.
When I had my near- death illness last year and the following long recuperation, I had a lot of time to think
about what makes someone a friend. If they are scared of you when you need help, sorry, that is not friendship. If
their attitude is “for better or worse”, if they stick to you through troubles and difficulties, it is the time when you
can tell it is true friendship. I do have some friends, but not as many as I thought. And there was a time, in the
late 80s when my friend, Ken, really needed me but I did not come through for him. I remember hanging out in my
happy suburban house in Menlo Park, and not coming to help him through the loss of his wife. Luckily, I got to
apologize for that but Ken said he did not mind.
I do not have a tidy answer about Ken and me and friendship. Sometimes we were friends, and other times,
clearly, not. But I guess there is something remarkable in two people overcoming the barriers to friendship to find
some real communication at some point.

V. Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word or phrase
Friendship is not about always being nice, or ____ (46). A friend will tell you when he/she thinks you are
full ____ (47) considerateness. Only your best friend can feel your silent pain and will hold your hand till you
become strong again. For example, I have a friend ____ (48) name is Billy. She has been a friend of mine for about
a decade. She could act as a perfect mirror. At that time I was fussing over a beautiful young girl that I was in love

closest friend may be the best guarantee of a good time. In fact our best friend can prevent us from developing

PREPARING A DINNER PARTY
Giving a dinner party is a wonderful way of entertaining people. You can also make new friends and give others
the chance to get to know each other better.
It needs planning, though. First make a guest list, with different kinds of people and a mixture of women and
men. Don’t invite couples because they aren’t so much fun!
When you know who can come, find out what they like to eat and drink. Note down any who are vegetarians, or
who cant’ eat or drink certain things for religious reasons.
Then plan their menu. Include a first course, a choice of main courses and a dessert, plus lots of people’s
favourite drinks.
The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure you buy more than enough of everything and that someone can
help you carry it!
On the day, start cooking early. Give people appetizers like Greek mezze or Spanish tapas, so they don’t get
hungry if they have to wait. Serve the delicious meal, sit down with your guests and have a good time – you’ve
earned it!

IV. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer
A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS
I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an isolated village
in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N’Djamena. Coming from a rich country, I got quite a shock, as conditions
were much harder than I had expected. However, after a few days I soon got used to living there. The people were
always very friendly and helpful, and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside was.
One of my jobs was to supply the village with water. The well was a long walk away. The women used to
spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards. Therefore, I contacted organization and
36
arranged to have some pipes delivered. We built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it worked first time. It wasn’t
perfect – there were a few leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers, who had never had running water
before. And not only did we have running water, but also in the evenings, it was hot, because the pipe had been
lying in the sun all day. All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience. Although it was not well paid, it
was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone who was considering working for a charity.
41. The author _____________.
A. has been working for OV for a year
B. used to be a volunteer working in a remote village
C. is living in the capital N’Djamena
D. used to be a volunteer working in a remote village
42. How did the author feel when he arrived in the village?
A. depressed B. impressed C. surprised D. disappointed
43. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. It took a lot of time to take water home from the well.
B. The villagers used to live in conditions without running water.
C. A pipeline was built to carry clean water to homes.
D. Solar energy was used to heat water.
44. The word It in line 9 refers to _____________.
A. running water B. the pump C. the pipeline D. the supply of water
45. What does the author think about his time with OV?
A. It was paid a lot of money. B. It was not worth working
C. It wasted time. D. It provided good experience.
VOLUNTEERS ABROAD
More and more young people are (46) ____ voluntary work abroad. The wide variety of jobs and destinations
available is making it an increasingly attractive option for those (47) ____ have just left school and have a year free
before university. Many choose to spend these twelve months working in poor countries. There they will earn little
(48) ____ no money, but they will be working something useful and enjoying the experience.
The work may (49) ____ of helping local communities, for example by helping to build new roads or provide
water supplies to isolated rural villages. Other projects may concentrate more on conservation or environmental
protection. (50) ____ kind of job it is, though, it is certain to be challenging and worthwhile, and experience that
will never be forgotten.
46 .A. doing B. making C. taking D. getting

IV. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers.
The world’s population increased from 3 billion in 1959 to 6 billion by 1999, a doubling that occurred over 40
years. The Census Bureau’s latest projections imply that population growth will continue into the 21 st century,
55
although more slowly. The world’s population is projected to grow from 6 billion in 1999 to 9 billion by 2042, an in
crease of 50 percent that will require 43 years.
The world’s population growth rate rose from about 1.5 percent per year from 1950 to 1951 to a peak of 2
percent in the early 1960s due to reductions in mortality. Growth rates thereafter started to decline due to rising
age at marriage as well as increasing availability and use of effective contraceptive methods. Note that changes in
population growth have not always been steady. A dip in the growth rate from 1959-1960, for instance, was due to
the Great Leap Forward in China. During that time, both natural disasters and decreased agricultural output in the
wake of massive social reorganization caused China’s death rate to rise sharply and its fertility rate to fall by almost
half.
41. How many people did the world’s population increase between 1956 and 1999?
A. 3 billion B. 6 billion C. 40 million C. 9 million
42. Which sentence is true?
A. Population growth in the 20th century was more than that in the 21st century
B. Population growth in the 21st century was more than that in the 20th century.
C. The world’s population is dramatically decreasing.
D. In 1999, there are about 6 billion people all over the world.
43. The word require in line 4 means _____.
A. spend B. demand C. pass D. take
44. The population growth rate decrease was due to _____.
A. reductions in mortality B. early marriage
C. early health care D. the effective use of birth control methods
45. In 1959-1960, the population growth in China _____
A. increased rapidly B. decreased C. was steady C. was unchangeable
V. Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word or phrase.
Although huge progress has already been (46)_____ in solving global poverty, there is still a widening gap
between the rich and the poor. The unfair distribution of wealth means that while the world as the whole is getting
richer, many poor people are (47)_____ from their share of this wealth.
One sign of hope is that rich nations are starting to consider (48)_____ Third World debt. Governments now
recognize that without debt relief, there is little chance of poor countries like Rwanda and Tanzania achieving the
growth necessary to lift their (49_____ out of absolute poverty.
Charities now have the ambitious target of cutting the world’s poverty by half (50)_____ the next fifteen years.
They believe that this target will only be reached when governments and development agencies work together to
achieve it.
46. A. done B. made C. achieve D. carried out
47. A. kept B. included C. excluded D. prevented
48. A. asking B. cutting C. raising D. delaying

The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children may be more an American ideal than an
American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led
to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different American groups.

traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living
57
at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are single people,
usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried
people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually divorced parents, with at least
one child.

In early colonial times, correspondents depended on friends, merchants, and Native Americans to carry
messages between the colonies. However, most correspondence ran between the colonists and England, their
mother country. It was a very hard work to handle so many letters like that. In 1639, the first official notice of a
postal service in the colonies appeared. The General Court of Massachusetts designated Richard Fairbanks’ tavern in
Boston as the official place of mail brought from or sent overseas, in line with the practice in England and other
nations to use coffee houses and colonies. Then, in 1673, a monthly post was set up between New York and
Boston. The service was of short duration, but the post rider’s trail became known as the Old Boston Post Road,
part of today’s U.S. Route 1. William Penn established the first post office in 1683. In the South, private
messengers, usually slaves, connected the huge plantations.
After the Boston revolution in September 1774, the colonies began to separate from the mother country. A
Continental Congress was organized at Philadelphia in May 1775 to establish an independent government. One of
the first questions before the delegates was how to convey and deliver the mail.

industries. The destruction of forests has reduced the living space of wildlife. Much of Asia’s wildlife is also
threatened by over-hunting. Many people kill animals for food or hunt them to sell to zoos, medical researchers,

result, the Huang He often floods, causing great property damage and loss of life along its banks.

be replaced quickly and easily, it is non-renewable. All fossil fuels are non- renewable resources. Solar energy, air,
and water are usually called renewable because there is an unlimited supply.
However, this definition may change if people are not careful with these resources. The amount of solar
energy that reaches the earth depends on the atmosphere. If the atmosphere is polluted, the solar energy that
reached the earth may be dangerous. If humans continue to pollute the air, it will not contain the correct amounts
of these gases.
Many resources are limited and non-renewable and many are in danger of pollution. Therefore, resources
must be conserved and the environment protected. Conservation must become an important part of everyone’s
life.

The major international competition in football is the World Cup, organized by FIFA. This competition
takes place over a four-year period. More than 190 national teams compete in qualifying tournaments. The finals
tournament, which is held every four years, now involves 32 national teams, increased in 1998 from the 24 of 1994,
competing over a four-week period. The 2006 FIFA World Cup took place in Germany and in 2010 it will be held in
South Africa. There has been a football tournament at every Summer Olympic Games since 1900, except at the
1932 Games in Los Angeles. Before the inception of the World Cup, the Olympics, especially during the 1920s, had
the same status as the World Cup. Originally, the event was for amateurs only, however, since the 1984 Summer
Olympics professionals have been permitted as well, with certain restrictions which effectively prevent countries
from fielding their strongest sides. Currently, the Olympic men’s tournament is played at under -23 level. In the past
103
the Olympics have allowed a restricted number of over-age players per team; but that practice will cease in the
2008 Olympics. The Olympic competition is not generally considered to have the same international significance and
prestige as the World Cup. A women’s tournament was added in 1996; in contrast to the men’s event, the women’s
Olympic tournament is played by full international sides without age restrictions. It thus carries international
prestige considered comparable to that of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

A. the World Cup is national
B. it was not until 1998 that the World Cup began to involve 32 national teams.

A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his spare time. Hobbyists raise pets, build model
ships, weave baskets, watch birds, hunt animals, climb mountains, raise flowers, fish, ski, skate and swim.
Hobbyists also paint pictures, attend concerts and plays, and perform on musical instruments. They collect
everything from books to butterflies, and shells to stamps.
People take up hobbies, because these activities offer enjoyment, friendship, knowledge and relaxation.
Sometimes they even yield financial profit. Hobbies help people relax after periods of hard work, and provide a
balance between work and play. Hobbies also offer interesting activities for people who have retired. Anyone, rich
or poor, old or young, sick or well can follow a satisfying hobby, regardless of his age, position, or income.
Hobbies can help a person’s mental and physical health. Doctors have found that hobbies are valuable in
helping patients recover from physical or mental illness. Hobbies give bed-ridden or wheelchair patients something
to do, and provide interests that keep them from thinking about themselves. Many hospitals treat patients by
having them take up interesting hobbies of past times.
In early times, most people were too busy making a living to have many hobbies. But some persons who
had pleasure did enjoy hobbies. The ancient Egyptians played games with balls made of wood. People today have
more time than ever before for hobbies.
Machines have reduced the amount of time they must spend on their jobs. Hobbies provide variety for
workers who do the same monotonous tasks all day long. More people are retiring at an earlier age than ever
before. Those who have developed hobbies never need to worry about what to do with their newly-found leisure
hours.
Sir William Osier, a famous Canadian doctor, expressed the value of hobbies by saying “No man is really
happy or safe without a hobby.”

My favourite sport is swimming. I learned to swim when I was five and I have been to the swimming pool at
least twice a week ever since.
You do not need much special equipment if you want to learn to swim – only a pair of swimming trunks if
you are a boy, or a swimming costume and a cap if you are a girl. When you start you may like to use a ring or
some water-wings.
How can you learn to swim? It is best to learn when you are still quite young and some parents even taught
their six-month-old babies to swim. It is just a good idea just to play ground in the pool for a while until you get
used to being in the water. Try to find a good teacher. You must learn to keep your balance in the water and then
your teacher will show how to move your arms and legs so that you move along smoothly and easily. As soon as
you feel confident in the pool you will quickly start making good progress.
113
Most people learn the breaststroke first and then go on to backstroke and crawl. After that, you can learn to
dive. Diving is probably what I like doing most when I go to the pool. I am particularly interested in swimming
faster than anyone else but I love trying to dive as gracefully as possible.
Swimming is not an expensive sport and it is very good for all the muscles in your body. I would recommend
anyone at any age to take up swimming as a hobby.
