READING-Read the passage and choose the correct answers:
Scientists often divide resources into two groups: renewable and non– renewable. When a resource
is used, it takes some times to replace it. If the resource can be replaced quickly and easily, it is called
renewable. If it cannot 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 reaches 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. As a consequence, resources must be conserved and the environment protected.
Conservation must become an important part of everyone’s life.

Section 1: Read the passage and fill in the blanks by choosing A B C or D:
For many people, the language of the Internet is English. "World, Wide, Web: Three English
Words" was the name of an article by Michael Specter in the New York Times a few years ago. The
article went on to say: If you want to take full advantage of the Internet, there is only one real way to do
it: learn English."
In general, it is not difficult to learn to use Internet services. But although Internet services are
rather easy to use, you will have considerable difficulties if you are not familiar with English. In fact,
knowledge of English is one of the most important aspects that help you use the Internet. Learning to
use a new Internet service may take a few hours, a few days or some weeks, but it takes years to learn a
language so that you can use it fluently and confidently. Of course, when you know some English, you
can learn more just by using it on the Internet. But at least your English should be good enough to
understand commonly used words and to know what to do on the Internet.

1. A. English B. F C. nature D. park

2. A. enjoying B. enjoy C. enjoyed D. to enjoy
3. A. do did C. cook D. cooked
4. A. large B. larger C. the larger D. largest
5. A. visit B. go C. do D. get
Section 2: Read the passage and answer the following questions:.
Energy is fundamental to human beings, especially to poor people – the one- third of humanity that
does not have modern energy supplies like electricity, with which their life could be improve.

 Many people who live in countryside have to gather fuel wood. This takes a lot of time. Moreover,
it causes indoor air pollution because of heavy smoke. For many people living in rural areas in
developing countries of the world, biogas is the large energy resources available and costs almost
nothing. The main use of biogas is for cooking and heating. As biogas is smoke-free, it helps solve the
problem of indoor air pollution. Moreover, plant waste and animal manure cost almost nothing.
The tendency to use renewable energy sources is on the increase when non-renewable ones are
running out. In the near, people in the developing countries may use wind or sea waves as the
environment-friendly energy sources.

Hobbies are practiced for interest and enjoyment, rather than financial reward. Examples include
collecting, creative and artistic pursuits, making, tinkering, sports and adult education. Engaging in a
hobby can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge, and experience. However, personal fulfilment
is the aim.
What are hobbies for some people are professions for others: a game tester may enjoy cooking as a
hobby, while a professional chef might enjoy playing (and helping to debug) computer games. Generally
speaking, the person who does something for fun, not remuneration, is called an amateur (or hobbyist),
as distinct from professional.
An important determinant of what is considered a hobby, as distinct from a profession (beyond the
lack of remuneration), is probably how easy it is to make a living at the activity. Almost no one can

18
make a living at cigarette card or stamp collecting, but many people find it enjoyable; so it is commonly
regarded as a hobby.
Amateur astronomers often make meaningful contributions to the professionals. It is -not entirely
uncommon for a hobbyist to be the first to discover a celestial body or event.
In the UK, the pejorative noun anorak (similar to the Japanese 'otaku' meaning a geek or enthusiast)
is often applied to people who obsessively pursue a particular hobby that is considered boring, such as
train spotting or stamp collecting.
6. Which of the following is not true?
a. Hobbies make people feel relaxed and satisfied.
b. Hobbies can give people knowledge and experience.
c. Hobbies are mainly practised for profit.
d. Hobbies are recreational activities.
7. According to the passage, a hobbyist ________.
a. is usually paid for his hobbies b. may enjoy his work as a hobby
c. indulges in many hobbies d. is distinguished from a professional
8. Stamp collecting is commonly regarded as a hobby because
a. people can make a living at it b. people find it enjoyable
c. people find it profitable d. people find it easy to pursue
9. Which of the following is not called 'celestial bodies'?
a. the Galaxy b. planet c. stars d. the sun
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
a. people who are very interested in boring hobbies are criticized.
b. stamp collecting is not popular nowadays.
c. the word 'anorak' is derived from Japanese.

Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the sky.
And others thought it was a big ball of cheese.
Then telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was really another world. They wondered
what it was like. They dreamed of going there.
On July 20, 1969, that dream came true. Two American men landed on the moon. Their names
were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin.
The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick that the
men left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living thing had ever made on the
moon. And they could stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to wipe them off.
25
 The two men walked on the moon for hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for study.
They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then
they climbed back into their moon landing craft.
Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael
Collins in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon. Then they were off on their long trip back
to earth. Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they
had set up. And they left footprints that may last forever.

in time to catch the 7.25 train to Paris, but there was no hope of that now. I explained the situations to
the ticket collector who advised me to get off two stops before Vienna Central Station and take a taxi.

a few minutes late I was racing towards the centre of the city in a taxi. It was almost 7.25 when we
stopped outside the station, paid the driver quickly, seized my bags and hurried inside. “Paris train?”

who received the letter had to pay for the delivery costs. Since rates at that time were very high, many
people refused to accept letters. In fact, many people developed secret marks on the outside of the letter
that conveyed their message and all the addressee had to do was read the secret message, refuse to
accept the letter, and thus not have to pay for it. Mainly for this reason, postal services turned to a means
of repaying postage.
In 1837 Sir Rowland Hill, the British Postmaster General, introduced the “Post Office Reforms”
whereby the mail could go anywhere in the British Isles at the same rate (a penny a half-ounce); the
postage was to be paid by the sender-not the addressee; and payment was receipted by placing a small
piece of colored paper on the outsider of the letter- THE STAMP! Of course Hill’s proposal was enacted
and instituted in 1840. Thus on May 6, 1840 (first date of valid use) the first government-printed postage
stamps were born.

supervision of the International Olympic Commirtee (IOC). Medals are awarded in each event, with
gold for first place, silver for second and bronze for third, a tradition which started from 1951. The
Asian Games are dominated by the People's Republic of China.
Competitors are entered by a national Olympic Committee (NOC) to represent their country of

number of medals won by each country are widely used. In general, only recognized nations are
represented, but a few sovereign countries are allowed to take part. The special case of Taiwan was
