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.
Package holidays, covering a two weeks" stay in an attractive location are increasingly popular, because
they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that
you get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing - you name it
- it"s all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother anything yourselves. You make friends
and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people. This is
even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time travelling. Of course, there are
carefully scheduled stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably be allowed
only a brief stay overnight in some famous city, with a polite reminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for
the coach next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow.
There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have
never met before, may not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As against this, it can be
argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although for
a short period on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seat and watch the world go by.
29. In spite of its disadvantages, spending a holiday with a group is particularly good for ____
A. schoolboys and schoolgirls B. the lonely or elderly people

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.
Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of
man. The sea has provided man with food and convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today,
nearly two thirds of the world's population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on
land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many man's needs. The list of
riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been
carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals existing on the ocean floor are ready to be mined.
 Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish
is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of
the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use
as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new
materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that
by the year 2020 the problems that prevent US from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy source of
the sea will be largely solved.
