Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each question.
There have been many famous detectives in literature. But one of the first - and
certainly the most famous - is Sherlock Holmes. Holmes was created by the British
writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the late nineteenth century.
Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance in the work A Study in Scarlet,
which was published in 1887. Holmes instantly became a popular literary figure with
the general populace, who demanded that Doyle write more stories involving him.
Doyle complied and eventually wound up writing fifty-six short stories and four
novels that featured Holmes. While he took a break of several years from creating
stories about Holmes, Doyle continued to write Holmes stories until 1927. Among the
most famous of all the works featuring Holmes are The Hound of the Baskervilles,
The Blue Carbuncle, and A Scandal in Bohemia.
One of the reasons that Sherlock Holmes was so popular concerns the method
he employs to solve his cases: logic. Together with his partner, Dr. Watson, Holmes
uses his powers of observation to detect clues that can help him solve the cases he
accepts. Holmes has an incredibly sharp mind that enables him to determine who the
guilty party is or what the problem is. Holmes also is a master of disguise, which he
proves many times, and he is skilled at boxing as well as sword fighting.
While Holmes often solves cases that are unrelated to one another, he has a
nemesis with whom he comes into both direct and indirect conflict in several stories.
That person is Professor Moriarty, the leader of a crime ring In London. In one of the
stories, The Final Problem, Holmes and Moriarty fight one another and fall to their
deaths by plunging down a steep cliff near a waterfall. When he wrote that story,
Doyle had tired of Holmes and wanted to kill off the character. He then refrained
from writing about Holmes for many years, but public demand for more stories
induced him to bring Holmes back from the dead and to continue writing detective
stories.

28. What is the best title for the passage?

A. brief biography of Sherlock Holmes
B. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson
C. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: The creator of Sherlock Holmes
 D. The most famous detectives in the world

29. According to the passage, which is true about Sherlock Holmes?

A. He encouraged Dr. Watson to become more observant.
B. He often resorted to fighting during his investigations.
C. He relied upon logic to solve various mysteries.
D. He was fluent in several foreign languages.
30. In paragraph 4, the phrase "refrained from" is closest in meaning to _____.
A. stopped
B. resumed
C. postponed
D. continued
31. What does the author imply about Professor Moriarty?
A. There is an unknown reason why he engaged in a life of crime.
B. He fails to encounter Holmes in some stories he is involved in.
C. Critics consider him to be the greatest literary villain in history.
D. Sherlock Holmes and he are related to one another.
32. Why did Doyle kill Sherlock Holmes in one of his stories?
A. It was too difficult for him to come up with new story lines.
B. His fans demanded that Holmes be killed off.
C. He had no desire to write about Holmes anymore.
D. Killing Holmes would help Doyle increase his sales.

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
Past explorers have made vast contributions to our knowledge of the world
today. They braved the oceans to discover the world and to bring their goods to other
countries to trade.
Many explorers had to overcome their fear of the unknown to travel around the
world on their sailing ships. Submitting themselves to unpredictable weather
conditions, each explorer either traveled further than his predecessor or tried to find a
different route to already discovered countries. For example, Vasco Da Gama, a
Portuguese explorer, established a sea route from Europe to India. He had extended
the sea route that Bartolomeu Dias had already done when he later sailed around the
Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa.
More importantly, explorers first closed the gap between the east and the west by
trading their local goods with foreign ones. India was known for its spices such as
nutmeg and cinnamon while China was known for its silk. A part of the east was
brought to the west when western gourmets developed a taste for eastern spices in
their food. People in the east dressed in clothes that were previously only worn in the
west. Without the explorers, many of us would still be living in our own enclave with
little knowledge of the vast world and what other foreign countries have to offer us.

A. making new good
B. selling their goods at high prices
C. traveling to other countries

A. swimming in the ocean
B. the dangers that lurked in unexplored places
C. being in their sailing ships for a long time

sure that they ______
A. sold new goods to those countries
B. bought new goods from those countries
C. explored new areas in the countries
D. found another way of going to those countries
18. The act of selling their local goods to a foreign country allowed the explorers to
______
A. earn more money
B. think about visiting other countries as well
C. grow different types of spices
D. find out more about that country

Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each question.
On the fourth Thursday in November, in houses around the United States,
families get together for a feast or a large meal. Almost all families eat turkey and
cranberry sauce for this meal and have pumpkin pie for dessert. This feast is part of a
very special day, the holiday of Thanksgiving. In 1620 the Pilgrims made a difficult
trip across the ocean from England. They landed in what is now Massachusetts. In
England, the Pilgrims had not been allowed to freely practice their religion. So they
went to the New World in search of religious freedom. The Pilgrims' first winter was
very hard. Almost half the group died of cold, hunger, and disease. But the Indians of
Massachusetts taught the Pilgrims to plant corn, to hunt and to fish. When the next fall
came, the Pilgrims had plenty of food. They were thankful to God and the Indians and
had a feast to give thanks. They invited the Indians to join them. This was the first
Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving became a national holiday many years later because of
the effort of a woman named Sarah Hale. For forty years Sarah Hale wrote to each
president and asked for a holiday of Thanksgiving. At last, she was successful. In
1863, President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a holiday. How much is Thanksgiving
today like the Pilgrims' Thanksgiving? In many ways they are different. For example,
historians think that the Pilgrims ate deer, not turkey. The idea of Thanksgiving,
though, is very much the same: Thanksgiving is a day on which we celebrate and give
thanks.

2.2. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
If you were to stop people in the street and ask them to name a ship that had been
sunk, it is likely that nearly all of them would say the Titanic. For the sinking of the
Titanic was, if not the most tragic, certainly the most famous sea disaster in the history
of ocean travel.
The Titanic was built as a luxury liner, intended to be the fastest in the world, and
a great deal of publicity had surrounded it. The last point probably explains why so
many important people from all walks of life were on the boat when it went down.
The Titanic was on its maiden voyage to America in 1912 when it struck an
iceberg and sank. Of its 2.300 passengers, more than two thirds were drowned.
Because the Tilanicwas thought to be virtually unsinkable, no one was prepared for
the tragedy. There was total panic as very few of the passengers had bothered to learn
the necessary drill in the event of trouble. There was a severe shortage of lifeboats and
those that were launched were still half empty. The one point of calm was to be found
in the ballroom where the band carried on playing right to the very end.
What makes the sinking of the Titanic even more tragic is the fact that warning of
icebergs had been sent, yet the liner was still continuing at full speed. In addition, one
ship was only ten miles away but did not receive the distress signal.
One good thing did, however, result from the disaster. The whole question of
safety all sea was looked into, resulting in much better safety measures including
stricter lifeboat regulations and establishment of an iceberg patrol.
