IV. Choose the suitable word or phrase (A, B, C, or D) to fill the blanks in the following passage.
Although many students are sick and tired of putting on their school uniform day after day, a uniform
does have its advantages. For a start, students have no need to worry about what to put on when they
get up (23) ______ the morning. Students know that in uniform they look more or less the same as
their classmates. As a result, their parents don't feel under pressure to provide a huge wardrobe of
clothes for them to wear. Moreover, it seems that children wearing the same colours and styles of
clothing gain a sense of belonging, something (24) ______ improves morale at school and reduces
levels of violence.
This theory has been supported by a study at a school in Long Beach, California. Staff members there
have noticed that since school uniform became compulsory, the number of arguments amongst pupils
has dropped by as much as 91%. This suggests that students who are all dressed in the same simple
school shirts and trousers are less likely to disagree with one (25)______. On the other hand, Cozette
Buckley, an Education Officer from Chicago, holds a rather different view, based on experience in her
schools. In her opinion, school uniforms are not a permanent solution but only a temporary aid to
playground problems (26)______they do not address the real source of conflict between children. It
seems, therefore, judging by these (27) ______ findings, that the school uniform debate isn't closed
yet!

24. A. which B. who C. whom D. where

PRACTICE TEST 2
I. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answers to the questions that follow.
In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in
teaching and learning. Many schools have brought television sets, intending to use them effectively to
improve the quality of education; but actually they are rarely used properly in classrooms. Meanwhile,
children spend the majority of their out-of-school hours watching TV and their typical school days
proceed as if television did not exist.
There are some explanations for the failure of television to get the interest of the teachers.
Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for equipment repairs and
maintenance so these television sets are sooner or later out of work. Secondly, these schools have not
found an effective way to train teachers to integrate television into their ongoing instructional
programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of television and its usefulness in the
classroom.
Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train their students to become good
readers. However, according to a recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their free time reading books
and newspapers but watching television instead.
