Read the following passage 1 and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions
In most families, conflict is more likely to be about clothing, music, and leisure time than about
more serious matters such as religion and core values. Family conflict is rarely about such major issues as
adolescents' drug use and delinquency. Nevertheless, it has been estimated that in about 5 million
American families (roughly 20 percent), parents and adolescents engage in intense, prolonged, unhealthy
conflict. In its most serious form, this highly stressful environment is associated with a number of negative
outcomes, including juvenile delinquency, moving away from home, increased school dropout rates,
unplanned pregnancy, membership in religious cults, and drug abuse (Steinberg & Morris, 2001).
Many of the changes that define adolescence can lead to conflict in parent- adolescent relationships.
Adolescents gain an increased capacity for logical reasoning, which leads them to demand reasons for
things they previously accepted without question, and the chance to argue the other side (Maccoby,1984).
Their growing critical-thinking skills make them less likely to conform to parents' wishes the way they did
in childhood. Their increasing cognitive sophistication and sense of idealism may compel them to point out
logical flaws and inconsistencies in parents' positions and actions. Adolescents no longer accept their
parents as unquestioned authorities. They recognize that other opinions also have merit and they are
learning how to form and state their own opinions. Adolescents also tend toward ego-centrism, and may, as
a result, be ultra-sensitive to a parent's casual remark. The dramatic changes of puberty and adolescence
may make it difficult for parents to rely on their children's preadolescent behavior to predict future
26.
behavior. For example,adolescent children who were compliant in the past may become less willing to
cooperate without what they feel is a satisfactory explanation.
Question 1: What is the passage mainly about?
A. The dramatic changes of puberty and adolescence. B. How to solve conflict in family.
C. The conflict in parent-adolescent relationship. D. A satisfactory explanation for family conflict.
Question 2: According to the passage, what is probably TRUE about the conflict often arising in a family?
A. adolescents’ drug use and delinquency B. clothing, leisure time and music
C. religion and core values D. children‘s behavior
Question 3: The word “unplanned” the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ________?
A. unintended B. designed C. developed D. shaped
Question 4: Adolescents become less likely to comfort to parents' wishes the way they did in the past
because ________.
A. the environment is highly stressful B. their critical-thinking skills is growing
C. it is related to drug abuse D. parent-adolescent relationships lead to conflicts
Question 5: According to the passage, the word “it” may refer to ________.
A. remark B. adolescent C. ego-centrism D. None of the above

difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to
what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase.
A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children
participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental
group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended
questions rather than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggy doing?"
rather than, "Is the doggy running away?" Experimental parents were also instructed how to expand on their
children's answer, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.
At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development, but at the end
of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test
of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed
an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.

C. The age of the children. D. The training that parents received.
5. What conclusion can be drawn from this passage?

B. The more children read, the more intelligent they become.
C. Two or three-year-old children can be taught to read actively.

Read the following passage 3 and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he
sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first
son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no – it was covered with
green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so
sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with
all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfilment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in
the tree’s life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the
essence of who they are – and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life – can only be measured
28.
at the end,when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your
spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfilment of your fall.
Don’t judge a life by one difficult season. Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

Read the following passage 1 and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions
The Hindu culture celebrates marriage as a pure and pristine rite enabling two individuals start their journey of
life together. It puts emphasis on the values of happiness, harmony and growth and could be traced back from
the Vedic times.
Months before the wedding ceremony, an engagement is held which is called “magni”. The couple is blessed
here with gifts, jewelry and clothes. Another important ritual is the “mehendi” which is a paste made from the
leaves of henna plant. It is the traditional art of adorning the hands and the feet of the bride with mehendi and
the name of the groom is also hidden in the design.
54.
On the dayof marriage, the couple exchanges garlands as a gesture of acceptance of one another and a pledge
to respect one another as partners which is known as “jaimala”. This is followed by “kanyadaan”, where the
father of the bride places her hand in the groom’s hand requesting him to accept her as an equal partner.
Another ritual is the “havan” in which the couple invokes Agni, the god of Fire, to witness their commitment
to each other. Crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar rice and oil are offered to the ceremonial fire. The “gath
bandhan” takes place where scarves of the bride and groom are tied together symbolizing their eternal bond.
This signifies their pledge before God to love each other and remain loyal. The couple then takes four
“mangal pheras” or walk around the ceremonial fire, representing four goals in life: “Dharma”, religious and
moral duties; “Artha”, prosperity; “Kama” earthly pleasures; “Moksha”, spiritual salvation.
The couple also takes seven steps together to begin their journey, called the “saptapardi”. Then the ritual of
“sindoor” takes place where the groom applies a small dot of vermilion, a red powder to the bride’s forehead
and welcomes her as his partner for life. This signifies the completion of the marriage. The parents of the
bride and the groom then give their blessings, “ashirwad” to the newly wed couple as they touch the feet of
their parents.

55.
Women often complainthat the men in their lives are not romantic enough. But men sometimes have
trouble expressing their feelings, often resorting to cheesy Hallmark cards or pricey bejeweled baubles to do
the job for them. But there is a far better way to be romantic and it doesn’t involve spending a fortune or even
opening your mouth.
In the days before courting consisted of hanging out and getting drinks, courting was a formal and
dignified endeavor. Symbols were used to express feelings and thoughts deemed too special for mere words.
During the Victorian Era, a whole romantic language developed around the giving and receiving of flowers.
Everything from the type and size of the flower to the way it was held or presented conveyed layers of
meaning and communicated a gentleman’s feelings and intentions. Each bouquet contained a secret message
for a lady to eagerly interpret and endlessly dissect.
These days giving flowers has become a somewhat ho-hum cliché. Resurrecting this Victorian
tradition will infuse the gesture with new life and romance and bring back some of the subtly, mystery, and
fun of courtship. Your lady will swoon that you put far more thought into your selection of flowers than
grabbing a bouquet out of the case at Wal-Mart. You’ll come off as a real gentleman and a hopeless romantic.
It can become an amazing tradition you’ll both enjoy. Seriously, women eat this stuff up.
Of course, even women nowadays have forgotten the meanings of flowers. So buy your lady a flower
dictionary. And keep a copy for yourself (it’s important that you both use the same reference, as the meanings
were never set in stone and can sometimes vary from book to book). Then, each time you present her with a
bouquet, she can search the volume to find what secret messages you have embedded in the flowers.

READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage 1 and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions
Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to
our climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For
example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods. These climatic changes, however, were different
from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes currently
being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity. Furthermore, the rate of
change is becoming alarmingly rapid.
The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this
warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years.
The implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological
disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts. These could have a harmful
effect on agriculture. It is thought that this unusual warming on the Earth has been caused by so-called
greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern
industrial processes, for example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a
greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet.
Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject,
attended by representatives from around 180 of the world's industrialized countries. Of these summits, the
most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997. There it was agreed that the most industrialized
countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this
reduction of emissions.
It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb
greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic
deforestation. Sadly, the targets are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes
are often still being regarded as scare mongering.

Read the following passage 2 and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
The poaching crisis wiping out Africa’s elephants is costing the continent’s economies millions in
lost tourism revenue, according to a new study. Researchers looked at visitor and elephant data across 25
countries, and modeled financial losses from fewer visitors in protected areas due to the illegal wildlife
trade, which has caused elephant numbers to plummet by more than 100,000 in the last decade. (A)
The study team combined visitor numbers across 164 protected areas in 25 countries in forest and
savannah elephants, and elephant population data from 2009 to 2013, to reach a “per elephant” value in
terms of tourism income.
76.
They concluded thatAfrica was most likely losing $26m in tourism revenue a year. (B) Around $9m
of that is lost from tourists’ direct spending, such as staying at hotels and buying crafts, with the rest
through indirect value in the economy such as farmers and other suppliers supporting the tourist industry.
The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that in most cases the revenue
losses were higher than paying for stronger anti-poaching measures to keep elephant populations stable.
(C) Dr. Robin Naidoo, the paper’s lead author and senior conservation wildlife scientist at WWF and his
team found. In the case of central Africa’s forest elephants, which are harder for tourists to see and
therefore attract fewer visitors, the costs of protecting them exceed the benefits from tourism. Demand
from south-east Asia has seen the price of ivory triple since 2009 and it is estimated that one elephant is
killed every 15 minutes. (D) Corruption, a lack of resources, and, most importantly, increasingly
sophisticated poachers have hamstrung African countries’ efforts to stem the trade.
1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Elephant poaching costs African millions in tourism revenue
B. Elephant poaching does more good than harm
C. Elephant poaching brings an opportunity for Africa to change
D. Elephant poaching reduces the number of elephants in Africa
2. The overall profit that the continent lost a year can be estimated to ____.
A. 25 million USD B. 100,000 USD C. 26 million USD D. 9 million USD
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. To get to the conclusion, scientists compared the changes in number of tourists and number of elephants
in 2009.
B. The only reason why illegal poaching is so difficult to stop is corruption.
C. Protecting elephants is for the both the practical and immaterial reasons.
D. There is an argument over the differences in the balance between the loss and the cost to protect the
elephants.
4. The word “plummet” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. fail B. comprehen C. complete D. succeed
5. The word “sophisticated ” in paragraph 4 is opposite in meaning to _______.
A. abundant B. complicated C. complex D. fundamental
6. The word “his” in paragraph 4 refers to______.
A. Africa’s B. poacher’s C. senior’s D. Dr. Robin Naidoo’s
7. Which of the positions marked in the passage does the phrase "but the financial argument did not stack
up in all areas,” best fit?

READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage 1 and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions
It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities, up from about
54 percent today. While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well understood, we need to
recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of profound social instability, risks to critical
infrastructure, potential water crises and the potential for devastating spread of disease. These risks can only
be further exacerbated as this unprecedented transition from rural to urban areas continues.
How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities are
governed. The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure and economic activities mean
that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater potential to disrupt society than ever before.
Urbanization is by no means bad by itself. It brings important benefits for economic, cultural and societal
development. Well managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling economies of scale and network
effects while reducing the impact on the climate of transportation. As such, an urban model can make economic
activity more environmentally-friendly. Further, the proximity and diversity of people can spark innovation and
create employment as exchanging ideas breeds new ideas.
But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization. For example,
one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater employment opportunities
and the hope of a better life in cities. But rapidly increasing population density can create severe problems,
especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with the influx of new inhabitants. The result may, in
extreme cases, be widespread poverty. Estimates suggest that 40% of the world's urban expansion is taking
place in slums, exacerbating socio-economic disparities and creating unsanitary conditions that facilitate the
spread of disease.
The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in the face of
rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social instability. In each of these
areas we find new risks that can best be managed or, in some cases, transferred through the mechanism of
insurance.
Question 1: Which is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. The Risks of Rapid Urbanization in Developing Countries
B. Infrastructure and Economic Activities in Cities
97.
C. The GlobalRisks 2015 Report on Developing Urban Areas
D. Rapid Urbanization Put Cities in Jeopardy
Question 2:According to paragraph 3, what is one of the advantages of urbanization?
A. It minimizes risks for economic, cultural and societal development.
B. It makes water supply system both efficient and effective.
C. Weather and climate in the city will be much improved.
D. People may come up with new ideas for innovation.
Question 3:Which statement is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. Urbanization brings important benefits for development as well.
B. 54% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050.
C. Risks cannot be addressed effectively no matter how well cities are governed.
D. Rapidly increasing population density can help solve poverty.
Question 4: The word "addressed" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________.

Read the following passage 2 and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
For many people who live in cities, parks are an important part of the landscape. They provide a place
for people to relax and play sports, as well as a refuge from the often harsh environment of a city. What people
often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.
One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide - a key pollutant - and emit oxygen, which
humans need to breathe. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide
that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what
is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal, concrete, and asphalt absorb much more
of the sun’s heat and release it much more quickly than organic surfaces like trees and grass. Because city
landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas.
Parks and other green spaces help to mitigate the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks because most land is already being used
for buildings, roads, parking lots, and other essential parts of the urban environment. However, cities could
benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space:
rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been
planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years. Some rooftop gardens are very complex and require
complicated engineering, but others are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment
of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.
98.
Rooftop gardens providemany of the same benefits as other urban park and garden spaces, but without
taking up the much-needed land. Like parks, rooftop gardens help to replace carbon dioxide in the air with
nourishing oxygen. They also help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect, which can save people money.
In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can
significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help hold in the heat that materials like brick and
concrete radiate so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetable and herb gardens can also
provide fresh food for city dwellers, saving them money and making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are
not only something everyone can enjoy, they are also a smart environmental investment.
Question 1. The word "mitigate" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. intensify B. destroy C. alleviate D. absorb
Question 2. Using the information in paragraph 2 as a guide, it can be inferred that _______.
A. cities with rooftop gardens are cooler than those without rooftop gardens.
B. some plants are not suitable for growth in rooftop gardens.
C. most people prefer parks to rooftop gardens.
D. most people prefer life in the country over life in the city.
Question 3. Based on the information in paragraph 3, which of the following best describes the main
difference between parks and rooftop gardens?
A. Parks are expensive to create while rooftop gardens are not.
B. Parks are public while rooftop gardens are private.
C. Parks absorb heat while rooftop gardens do not.
D. Parks require much space while rooftop gardens do not.
Question 4. The author claims all of the following to be the benefits of rooftop gardens except _______.
A. increased space for private relaxation. B. savings on heating and cooling costs.
C. better food for city dwellers. D. improved air quality.
Question 5. According to the author, one advantage that rooftop gardens have over parks is that they
_______.
A. decrease the Urban Heat Island Effect. B. replenish the air with nourishing oxygen.
C. do not require the use of valuable urban land. D. are less expensive than traditional park spaces.
Question 6. The word “complicated ” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ___________.

Although already mentioned, it bears repeating that undertaking research on urbanization in the world and in
particular in less developed countries presents major challenges. The most fundamental problem is that there is
no global standard for the classification of urban environments. Virtually, all countries distinguish between
urban and rural population, but the (1)________of what constitutes an urban area varies among countries and
in some cases it even varies over time within a single country.
Urban communities can be (2)________ in any number of ways including by population size, population

THE EMERGENCE OFMEGACITIES
The urban shift over time has led to the emergence of the megacity – a city with a population of 10 million or
more. New York City and Tokyo were the first known megacities, both reaching an urban conglomeration of
over 10 million by the 1950s. But today they are far from alone in their size. In 2018, there were 33 megacities
across the planet and (1)________major global regions except Oceania are marked with megacities.
Most of the cities (2)________have reached the 10 million marker in recent years are located in Asia and Africa.
In fact, it’s where six of the eight newest megacities can be (3)_________and where nine of the 10 projected
2030 megacities will be located. These regions are also home to the fastest growing megacities. The population
of Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has doubled roughly every 5 years since 1950.
From 2010 to 2015, Kinshasa’s (4)_________grew by over 23 percent, and today over half of the more than 13
million residents are under 22 years old. A combination of factors has led to this growth including migration
from rural areas, high fertility rates, and widening of the city’s boundaries. The population is outpacing almost
all support structures in the city where the threat of food shortages, traffic congestion, (5)________ insufficient
education facilities have become a stark reality.

READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage 1 and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees' homes and offices. For
employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the
location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when
the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A
recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. But although
the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business
119.
Week published "ThePortable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn't telecommuting
become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many
managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across
the country would be too difficult, or at least systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the manager's responsibilities.

I had been happily working in the same company as a graphics designer for over ten years, so it came
as a huge surprise when one day, without warning I was made redundant. In fact, most of the people in my
120.
department lost theirjobs that day. When the personnel manager gave me the bad news, she explained that
the company had been taken over by a big multinational corporation that was demanding a lot of changes.
So, one day I was in a comfortable job with a generous salary and plenty of annual leave and the next
day I was unemployed. While it was nice to have time on my hands, I knew I would have to find a job fairly
quickly. I soon found out that it wasn't so easy. No one was taking on new staff. Every morning I searched the
Classified Ads, but there was nothing suitable, not even part-time positions.
Finally, a friend asked me if I was interested in helping out in her new cake shop. She needed
somebody to deal with customers and to help her with the cake designs. At first, she could only pay me by the
hour at rather a low hourly rate. To my surprise, I love the work.
I've been a cake designer for three years now. I'm so glad I didn't turn down my friend's job offer. We
have so much work and now I'm no longer an employee. My friend and I are now partners in the best cake
shop in town.

A Working Vacation
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get your dream job? It can take years to get the education
and develop the skills you need for the perfect job. However, there is a way to experience your dream job
121.
without having toget the required training or degree. Since 2004, Brian Kurth’s company, Vocation
Vacations, has been connecting people with mentors who have the jobs of their dreams.
Kurth had been working for a phone company before starting his own company. He didn’t like his job, and
he had a long time to think about it on his drive to and from work. He also thought about his dream job while
driving. He was interested in becoming a dog trainer, but he didn’t want to take any chances and switch to a
field he didn’t have experience in. He really wanted to know what the job was like and if it was realistic for
him to work towards his goal. So, he found a mentor – a dog trainer that could tell him about the job and
everything it involved. After that, he helped his friends find mentors to explore jobs they were interested in.
They thought it was helpful to talk to people who had their dream jobs before spending lots of time and
money getting the training they needed for those jobs.
Kurth saw how much this helped his friends, so he decided to turn it into his business. He started Vocation
Vacations in 2004, and by 2005, the company was offering experience with over 200 dream jobs. Today,
about 300 mentors work with the company to share their knowledge about their jobs. Customers pay to
experience the job of their dreams and work with these mentors to see what a job is really like. A “job
vacation” costs between $350 and $3,000 and can be for one to three days. Many people use Vocation
Vacations to see if their dream job is a career path they want to continue. Others do it just to experience the
job of their dreams one time.
Vocation Vacations jobs are in the fields of fashion, food, entertainment, sports and animals. Many people
want to try glamorous jobs. For example, they want to try working as actors, music producers, photographers
and fashion designers. According to Kurth, some other popular dream jobs are working as bakers, hotel
managers and wedding planners.
