Mercury is the smallest member of the sun's family. It is only 3.100 miles across. It is also
the sun's swiftest planet. Its yearly journey round the sun is only 85 days.

mercury the morning star or evening star. Mercury is half the size of the earth. Because it is
much lighter, it has much less gravity. If you can visit Mercury in a spaceship, you will find it a
strange world. Its low gravity makes you feel very light. If your weight on earth is 100 pounds,
your weight on Mercury is only 27 pounds. Looking at the sun from Mercury, you can see that
it's much more brilliant than it is seen from the earth. And the yellow centre of the sun appears
three times bigger from Mercury. On its lighted side, Mercury's temperature is about 300 degrees
centigrade. But the dark side is extremely cold, but 150 degrees below zero so mercury is
probably the coldest as well as the hottest of the planets.

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 conducted 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.

Do you ever think about what schools will be like in the future? Many people think
that students will study most regular classes such as maths, science and history online.
Students will probably learn these subjects anywhere using a computer. What will happen
if students have problems with a subject? They might connect with a teacher through live
video conferencing. Expert teachers from learning centres will give students help wherever
they live.
Students will still take classes in a school, too. Schools will become places for
learning social skills. Teachers will guide students in learning how to work together in
getting along with each other. They will help students with group projects both in and out
of the classroom.
Volunteer work and working at local businesses will teach students important life
skills about the world they live in. This will help students become an important part of
their communities.
Some experts say it will take five years for changes to begin in schools. Some say it
will take longer. Most people agree, though, that computers will change education the way
TVs and telephones changed life for people all over the world years before.

tigers are in danger of becoming extinct. Due to irresponsible hunting, the Bali, Caspian and Java
tigers have already become extinct. This could soon happen to the other species too.
In the past, tigers were considered as pests. With a smaller area to hunt, as man had taken
up more of the land to build upon, the tigers found less area for themselves to hunt. They thus
turned to farms to get their food. Farmers’ livestock were attacked by these tigers. People were
then encouraged to hunt and kill these animals with the promise of rewards. Even after the threat
of tigers on livestock was over, man continued to hunt tigers, this time for recreation. Poachers
too hunt tigers for their body parts knowing that the skin of tigers is much sought after. Bones
and other organs are also used as ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine. Although killing is
illegal, it is still being carried out unless it is stopped, the remaining species of tigers will soon
become extinct too.

Did you know that on average we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctor
might give us? This fascinating information came to light as a result of a study carried out by
Utrecht University. What is even more interesting is that almost half of what we think we
remember is wrong.
Why do you think this is? Well, it’s not as complicated as you may think. You see, going
to the doctor fills most people with anxiety and when we are really nervous and stressed we are
more likely to focus on the diagnosis rather than the treatment. Therefore, we know what is
wrong with as but have no idea what to do about it.
Here are some good tips to keep in mind when seeing a doctor. Always write down any
important information. What would be even better is, if your doctor agreed, to record your
consultation. This way, you can replay the advice at home, where you are more likely to absorb
it. If you believe the situation is serious or you’re really worried, seek the help of a family
member. Just ask them to accompany you to listen in. This way you can be sure about what the
doctor has told you and avoid falling into the same trap that most people do.

American foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient
and rapid consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and
soft drinks. By the 1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of America's strongest exports as
franchises for Me Donald's and Burger King spread through Europe and other parts of the world,
including Russia and China. Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace
gave way to quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American
cultural patterns.
By the late 20lh century Americans had become more conscious of their diets, eating more
poultry, fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover many
world cuisines in forms closer to their original. In California, chefs combined fresh fruits and
vegetables available with ingredients and spices borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an
innovative cooking style that was lighter than traditional French, but more interesting and varied
than typical American cuisine. Along with the state's wines, California cuisine took its place
among the acknowledged forms of fine dining.

In the earliest times children got their education directly from parents and other adults.
They learned mainly skills for survival. Adults passed down this knowledge through spoken
language. Eventually cultures around the world began inventing writing. As societies developed
they set up schools to teach reading, writing, maths and other subjects.
The first schools were usually just for boys. Most of the students came from rich and
powerful families. Often the purpose of their education was religious training. In many cultures
the religious leaders formed the highest level of society. Some schools had other purposes as
well. Many schools focused on military training. Sometimes youths attended special schools to
learn the art of public speaking. These skills were meant to help them become future leaders.

The Beatles
In the 1960s, the Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world.
Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is
difficult now to imagine how sensational the Beatles were at that time. They were four boys
from the north of England and none of them had any training in music. They started by
performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these
songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular.
The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from
songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write
their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and
they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too
dangerous for them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their
clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when
they first came out. Throughout the world, many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you
ask them.
28. The passage is mainly about _______
A. how the Beatles became more successful than other groups.

Television and Kids
Television is very popular and even has some benefits for kids. It helps very young children
learn the letters of the alphabet, and helps other kids learn about science, cultures, and world
events.
However, researchers show that too much TV is bad for children. For one thing, there is a link
between watching more than four hours of TV a day and being overweight. For another thing,
many TV shows are violent and upsetting. Watching these shows may cause kids to be more
fearful. And of course, more time in front of the TV means less time to study. Too much TV may
also be the cause of lower grades.
Experts do not agree on the solution to these problems. Some say that kids should watch
only educational programs; others say kids should watch no TV at all. And others suggest
teaching them to watch TV as occasional entertainment, not as an everyday hobby.
28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Benefits of kids' TV shows B. Effects of television on kids
C. Why kids love TV D. Why kids shouldn't watch TV

A. cause weight problems in children B. cause children to be more famous
C. cause children to get better grades D. cause students to study more
30. The word "them" in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. programs B. experts C. kids D. problems
31. The word “occasional” in the paragraph 3 is closest _________.
A. very often B. not very often C always D. everyday
32. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. TV is always bad for children.
B. TV is only good for entertainment.
C. Kids should watch only educational shows.

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become
the dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged
around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following
the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in
England and had not extended even as far as two centuries, English began to spread around the
globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work.
Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the

international business, banking and diplomacy.

English. Two - thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main
language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers -

Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks,
or your money back. From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send...” and so
on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. One’s mother language is easier to learn, but it
also requires a lot of practice to be fluent. And think how much practice that gets! Before the
Second World War, people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature of
the country.
Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of
people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try it at home, with books and records
of tapes; some use radio or television programmes; some use computers and network; others go
to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, it will take a long time, like
learning a foreign language at school. A few people try to learn the language fast by studying for
6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken.
However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the
language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be
able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learned quickly
or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student’s
work for him.
30. According to some advertisements, you _______.
A. have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks

to each of the questions.
In the 1960s, it took pop and rock groups one or two days to record their songs.
Nowadays, it can take months and months. Many rock groups begin by recording only one
instrument, for example, the voice. Then they record other instruments- electric piano,
synthesizer, guitars, drums and so on.
Next, they might use a computer to add special effects. Finally, they ‘mix’ all the
instruments until they get the sound that they want. This means that a CD or cassette will always
sound very different from a live concert.
Music engineers have developed a new computer programme that will change the future
of music. A computer can analyse a singer’s voice. Then if you give the computer the lyrics and
music of a song, the computer can “sing” it in that voice. This means that a singer only needs to
record one song and the computer can then sing other songs in the singer’s own voice. Singers
can sing new songs many years after they have died.
Most of us listen to music for pleasure, but for the record companies, music is a product,
the same as soap powder. When a record company finds a new group (or “band”), they first try to
develop the band’s “profile”. They will try to create an “image” for the band that they think will
attract young people. Instead of allowing the band’s full artistic freedom, they will often tell the
band what they should wear, what they should say and how they should sing and play.
In recent year, many rock groups have started their own record companies because they
say that the big companies are too commercial.
30. Today, to record songs, it takes __________.
A. longer than it used to do B. shorter than it used to do
C. only one or two days D. the same amount of time as the 1960s

The bee, like the ant, is a social insect. Bees live in groups in a hive, and every bee
does certain work that helps the other members of the group. In a beehive there are three kinds of
bees: the queen bee, the drones, and the workers. The worker bees go from flower to flower
collecting nectar, or juice, which is composed mostly of sugar mixed with water. Bees draw this
nectar into the honey sacks of their bodies, and enzymes in their bodies turn the nectar into
honey. This newly made honey oozes from the underside of the bees and is stored in cells in the
hive to be used as food during the winter months. Some people are in the honey business and
keep hundreds of hives. Beekeepers remove honey from the hives and pack it in bottles or jars.
Honey usually appears as a clear golden-colored liquid, but this depends on the kind of flower
from which the bees have taken the nectar.

Family life is changing. Two-parent households are on the decline in the United States as
divorce, remarriage and cohabitation are on the rise. And families are smaller now, both due to
the growth of single-parent households and the drop in fertility. Not only are Americans having
fewer children, but the circumstances surrounding parenthood have changed. While in the early
1960s babies typically arrived within a marriage, today fully four-in-ten births occur to women
who are single or living with a non-marital partner. At the same time that family structures have
transformed, so has the role of mothers in the workplace – and in the home. As more moms have
entered the labor force, more have become breadwinners – in many cases, primary breadwinners
– in their families.
As a result of these changes, there is no longer one dominant family form in the US.
Parents today are raising their children agianst a backdrop of increasingly diverse and, for many,
constantly evolving family forms.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
There are 4400 living species of amphibians. Frogs, toads, newts and salamanders are all
amphibians. Many live mainly on land, but most spend at least some of their lives in water. The
largest amphibian, the Chinese giant salamander, is 1.8m long.
Frogs and salamanders are able to breathe through their damp skins to a certain extent,
both in the water and on the land, but toads rely largely on their lungs and cannot remain
underwater for long. Toads and frogs are similar in many ways, although toads usually have
rougher, drier skins and may waddle rather than hop as frogs do.
Some toads produce spawn in strings like necklaces, rather than the mass of eggs laid by
frogs.
Most amphibians lay their eggs in water. Frogs’ eggs are called spawn. The eggs are
protected from predators by a thick layer of jelly. A tadpole develops inside each egg. When it
hatches, it is able to swim using its long tail, and it breathes through gills. As a tadpole grows,
first hind legs then forelegs begin to form. Lungs develop, and the young frog is able to begin to
breathe with its head above water. Gradually, the tail shortens until the young frog resembles its
adult parents.
30 .The text describes amphibians as animals that ________.
A. do not have lungs B. can live on land and in water
C. use their gills to eat and breathe D. cannot swim very well
