I/ READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage then answer the questions that follow.
My name’s Mandi.Three months ago, I went to disco where I met a boy called Tom.I guessed he was
older than me, but I liked him and thought it didn’t matter. We danced a couple of times, then we chatted.
He said he was 18, then asked how old I was. I told him I was 16. I thought that if I told him my real age,
he wouldn’t want to know me, as I’m only 13. After the dicso we arranged to meet the following
weekend. The next Saturday we went for a burger ( hamburge) and had a real laugh. Afterwards he
walked me to my street and kissed me goodnight. Things went really well. We see each other a couple of

with them, but I know if they found out how Tom was, they’d stop me seeing him. Now I really don’t
know what to do. I can’t go on lying to my parents every time I go out, and Tom keeps asking he can’t

Last year, I went to Nepal for three months to work in a hospital. I think it’s important to see as
much of a country as you can but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few
days’ holiday, so I decided to go into the jungle and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.
We started preparing for the trip at six in the morning, and left camp with two elephants carrying
our equipment. It was hot but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the
jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto
the elephants’ back to get better view, but it is unusual to find tiger in the afternoon because they sleep in
the heat of the day.
Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We crept nearer and
found a dead deer still bleeding. This was the tiger’s lunch! Suddenly I started to feel very frightened.
We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five hundred kilos
plus and four meters long. I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the animal’s throat. It
grabbed Kamal’s leg between it is teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at
the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night
it was impossible to sleep!

PREPARING A DINNER PARTY
Giving a dinner party is a wonderful way of entertain people. You can also make new friends and give
others the chance to get to know each other better.
It needs planning, though. First, make a guest list, with different kinds of people and a mixture of
women and men. Don’t invite couples because they aren’t so much fun.
When you know who can come, find out what they like to eat and drink. Note down any who are
vegetarians, or who can’t eat or drink certain things for religious seasons.
Then plan their menu. Include a first course, a choice of main courses and a dessert, plus lots of
people’s favourite drinks.
The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure buy more than enough of everything, and that
someone can help you carry it!
On the day, start cooking early, give people appetizers like Greek mezze or Spanish tapas, so they
don’t get hungry if they have to wait. Serve the delicious meal, sit down with your guests and have a
good time – you’ve earned it!
36. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the purpose of giving a dinner party?
A. to entertain people.
B. to make new friends.
C. to get people to know more about their host and hostess.
D. to help people to know each other better.
37. When giving a dinner party, you should NOT invite ........................ .
A. husbands and wives. B. those who are vegetarians.
C. both women and men. D. those who can’t eat or drink certain things.
38. The menu should include these EXCEPT ..........................
A. a first course B. a supper C. a dessert D. main courses
39. According to the passage, starters should be served ...........................
A. because the guests want to have a good time together.
B. because the guests like eating them.
C. because the guests want to eat them while having to wait.

The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided I had to turn back to my hotel for lunch.
After walking about for some time, I decided I’d better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I

way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me
by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes when he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded
politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.

A music competition is an event in which people compete for prizes by performing music. Music
competitions can be for solo performers or for small or large groups such as orchestras, bands or choirs.
Some competitions are for young people who are starting to make a professional career in music. Other
music competitions may be for amateurs, which means that professional musicians are not allowed to
compete.
The person who decides who is the winner is called the adjudicator. Some big festivals have a
team of several adjudicators who decide together on the winner.
The British and International Federation of Music Festivals organize music competitions for
amateurs in many parts of the British Isles. Children and adults can take part, competing in classes for
20
music, speech and drama, and dance. Competitions like these are often called “festivals” because the
main reason for taking part is to enjoy performing rather than just to win.
There are many big international competitions for some of the most talented musicians from all
over the world. Winning a big competition can help a young musician to start a successful career. Some
people think it can also be a bad thing to win a big competition, especially for musicians who are still
very young. It may make them a star for a short time, but they still have to get better and mature as a
musician and a person.
1. Who are not allowed to compete in competitions for amateurs?
A. Young musicians. B. Old musicians.
C. Professional musicians. D. Famous musicians
2. The adjudicator is ____.
A. the winner in a competition B. the loser in a competition
C. the person who observes the competition D. the person who decides who the winner is
3. Why are some music competitions called “festivals”?
A. Because many competitors want to get enjoyment rather than to win.
B. Because there are many competitors in each music competition.
C. Because they are well-organized.
D. Because people of all ages can take part in the competitions.
4. Why is it sometimes bad for young musicians to win a big competition?
A. Because they get too little money.
B. Because they may be a star for a short time.
C. Because they may think they are the best and don’t learn any more.
D. Because they still grow up and can play better.

In 775 BC, the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of mount Olympus to honor the Greek’s
chief god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their life
style caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the upper class and military could participate at
first, but later the games were opened to all free Greek males who had no criminal record. The Greeks
emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running,
jumping, discus and javelin throwing, boxing, and horse racing were held in individual cities, and the
winners competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honored by having olive
wreaths placed on their heads and having poems sung about their achievements. Originally, these contests
were held as games of friendship, and any wars in progress were paused to allow the games to happen.

seriously punished. These athletes brought shame not only to themselves but also to the cities they
represented.

we wanted to see some of famous buildings. After the tour, we bought some sandwiches and ate them in a
47
small park. In the afternoon some of us went shopping and the others went to the theatre. We met up
again at 6. 30 pm and went to a small restaurant in Sotho. The meal was really good, but unfortunately, it

The first cause of global greenhouse gas emissions is over-population. In 1950, the world
population was 3 billion, now 6.5 billion people who produce an enormous output of waste and
utilize an unbelievable amount of resources and energy. Most people having children have no
idea why they are even having children. Most do not really love their children because if they did
they would be very much involved in trying to ensure that their children have a world to survive
in. Unless overpopulation is addressed, there is no way of slowing down greenhouse gas
emissions. But corporations need workers, governments need taxpayers, bureaucrats and
soldiers. More people means more money. The solution to all of our problems is simple. We just
need to live in accordance with the basic laws of ecology. Weaken diversity and the entire
system will be weakened and will ultimately collapse. All of the species within an ecosystem are
interdependent. There is a limit to growth because there is a limit to carrying capacity. Human
populations are exceeding carrying capacity and diminishing resources and diversity of species.
Albert Einstein wrote that "if the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would
have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more
animals, no more man." And the honey bee is disappearing. Why? We do not know why. All
around the world bees are disappearing and bees pollinate our plants. We are cutting down
forests and plundering the oceans. We are polluting the soil, the air and the water and rapidly
running out of fresh water to drink. Water is now being sold for more than the equivalent amount
of gasoline.
1. The passage is about ___________
A. the decreasing of the world's population B. overpopulation and its effect
C. an important part of bees in overpopulation D. bees and human beings
2. Overpopulation ________________
48
A. has no effects on human beings B. is a good results

C. leads to greenhouse gas emissions D. has good effects to resources
3. According to the writer _______________________
A. human beings can live independently from other species
B. children can grow up without their parents' care
C. growth is limited
D. the more people survive on earth, the more resources are used
4. According to Albert Einstein, without bees _________________
A. all human beings would die immediately
B. human life on earth would be better
C. men would disappear soon
D. human beings could survive in only 4 years
5. Which action is NOT referred in the text?
A. We are raising more and more bees. B. We are cutting down forests.
C. We are polluting the air and water. D. We are plundering the oceans
XI.
The population of the world has increased more in modern times than in all other ages of history
combined. World population totaled about 500 million in 1650. It doubled in the period from 1650-1850.
Total the population is more than six billion. Estimates based on research by the United Nations indicated
that it will more than double in the twenty-fives years between 1975 and the year 2000.
No one knows the limits of population that the earth can support. Thomas Malthus, an English economist,
developed a theory that became widely accepted in the nineteenth century. He suggested that because
world population tended to increase more rapidly than food supply, we should continuously constrain
available resources. Malthus cited wars, famines, epidemics and other disasters as the usual limitations of
population growth. With recent advances in science and technology, including improved agricultural
methods and great progresses in medicine, some of the limiting factors in population growth have been
lessened, with obvious results. International organizations have recommended programmes to encourage
general economic development that target areas along with a decrease in birth rates to effect a lasting
solution.
1. Which of the options below is the best title for the passage?
A. Thomas Malthus Theory
B. The United Nations’ Estimate
C. Limiting Factors in Population Growth
D. A Brief History of Population and Overpopulation
2. According to the passage, by the year 2000 the earth’s population should exceed the present figure by
how much?
A. Five hundred million B. Two billion C. Five billion D. Seven billion
3. Who was the Thomas Malthus?
A. A scientist
B. An economist
C. A doctor of medicine
D. A United Nation’s representative
4. What do most experts recommended in order to solve problems of overpopulation ?
A. Famine and epidemic
B .Medical advance and improved agricultural methods
C. Economic development and a declined in the birth rate
D. Conservation of available resources.
XII.
Read the following passage and then decide whether the statements are True or False.
When you go to a party in Atlantica, don’t bring a gift. If you do so, our host will believe that you think
they are poor.
49
Never arrive on time in Atlantica. Come one or two hours late because your host will not be ready on
time himself. In Atlantica, all schedules (even airline schedules) run on ‘elastic time’
At dinner time, eat only what the hosts serve you. If you ask for something special, the hosts try to get
what you want, even if they have to go out to the store that evening. And never look at other guests while
you eat. Instead, look down at your food. Use a spoon for all foods, even hard foods like fried meat.
1. A bottle of wine is an example of a good gift to bring to a party in Atlantica.
2. Never be late to a party in Atlantica.
3. ‘Elastic time’ probably means that schedules in Atlantica are not exact.
4. Don’t eat a piece of hard meat with a spoon.
XIII. Read the passage carefully, then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false
(F).
The proverb 'A friend in need is a friend indeed.' means that we shall know who our real friends are when
we are in need. Those who desert us when we are in difficulty are just unfaithful friends.
A true friend would remain with us whether we are rich or poor. Some people be friend the rich, simply
for the sake of getting benefits from them.
It is useless to have insincere friends because these friends remain with us as long as we are rich or
powerful. It is better to have one or two good friends rather than having hundreds of insincere ones.
A true friend will stand by us in our trials and tribulations. He will be a great source of consolation and
comfort in our troubles. So we must be careful in choosing our friends. It is difficult to choose a sincere
friend overnight; it takes years for us to find a sincere friend.
1. Real friends share everything we need.
2. Unfaithful friends stop being our friends when we are in trouble.
3. A rich friend is always a true friend.
4. A true friend is always loyal to us and support us through our difficulties.
5. It's not worth having a lot of friends.
6. It may take a lot of time to find a real friend.

Having a best friend to confide in can bring a positive effect on our emotional health. An evening out
with a closest friend may be the best guarantee of a good time. In fact, our best friend can prevent us from
developing serious psychological problems such as depression and anxiety.
Best friendship evolves with time- we can’t go out and pick our best friend. We become friends with
people who share common interests- at school or through hobbies, for example.
Best friends have usually known each other for years and stuck together through good and bad
times. If you haven’t got one, perhaps you are being too distant from people, or focusing too much on
your work.

THE OLYMPIC GAMES
The Olympic games began in Greece more than 2,000 years ago. Young men from different cities took part in
running, horse-riding, boxing and riding . No women took part in or watched the games.
The last ancient games took place in the year 394 and for many hundreds of years there were no games.
Then, in 1896 the first modern Olympic games took place, again in Greece . Most countries sent a team of
Athletes to the games. In the 1996 games, 197 countries sent teams to Atlanta. Beach volleyball became an
Olympic sport for the first time.
At the start of the Olympic games, an athlete runs into the Olympic stadium with a torch and lights an Olympic
flame. The flame comes all the way from Olympia. The lighting of the torch is part of an enormous opening
ceremony. In 1968 Mexican hurdler, Norma Enriqueta Basilio de Sotela, became the first woman to light the
Olympic flame .
The Olympic symbol is five coloured rings. These rings represent the five continents in the world.
Winners receive gold, silver and bronze medals. Sometimes competitors win more than one medal. In 1972,
Mark Spitz, an American swimmer, won seven gold medals. He also broke four world records .

creation of a large or comprehensive collection generally requires some philatelic knowledge. This is
especially important for those who intend to spend large amounts for stamps.

elaborate stamps designed mainly to be bought by stamp collectors. The stamps produced by these
countries far exceed the postal needs of the countries.

One of the most urgent environment problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having
clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made
68
many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes and even entire seas have become large pools of poison. Lake
Baikal in Russia is one of largest lake in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants,
including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by
the massive volumes of industrial pollutants which pour into the lake everyday. Even where law existed,
the government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations.
The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world's water surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50%
of all marine pollution. Almost sixteen countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was
limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now
scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.

II. READING COMPREHENSION
A. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each of the question
The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are
burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to
gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes. Experimental work is being done to derive
synthetic fuel from coal, oil shale, and coal tars. But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other
experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power is also being tested.
Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams and rivers.
Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but
today it supplies only 4 percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are
studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are
also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.
1. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Use of Water Products for Energy B. The Search for Alternative Sources of Energy
C. Efficient Ways of Disposing of Waste D. New Discoveries in Geothermal Power

II. Read the passage and then choose the best answer (1 pt).
The population of the world has increased more in the modern time than in all other ages of history
combined. World population totaled 500 million in 1650. It doubled in the period from 1650 to 1850. In

seven billion at the beginning of the 21st century.
With recent advances in science and technology, including improved agricultural methods and great
strides in medicine, some of the limiting factors in population growth have been lessened with obvious
results. International organizations have put forward several recommendations to alleviate the problem of

II. Read the passage and then choose the best answer (1 pt).
In Southeast Asia, many forests have been cut down to produce timber and to clear land for farms and
industries. The destruction of forests has reduced the habitat of wildlife. Much of Asia’s wildlife is also
threatened by poaching. Many people kill animals for food or hunt them to sell to zoos, medical
researchers, and pet traders. Because of habitat destruction and poaching, many large Asian animals,
including elephants, rhinoceroses, and tigers, have become endangered.
In China, people have cut down most of the forests for wood, which has caused serious soil erosion. The
soil is deposited in rivers and streams, which lowers the quality of the water. The Hwang Ho, or Yellow
River, is so named because the light-colored soil gives the water a yellowish color. The soil has also
raised the riverbed. As a result, Hwang Ho often floods, causing great property damage and loss of life
along its banks.

III. READING
A. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
The hobby of collecting consists of acquiring specific items based on a particular interest of the
collector. These collections of things are often highly organized, carefully cataloged, and attractively
displayed. Since collecting depends on the interests of the individual collector, it may deal with almost
any subject. The depth and breadth of the collection may also vary. Some collectors choose to focus on a
specific subtopic within their area of general interest: for example, 19th Century postage stamp, milk
bottle labels from Sussex, or Mongolian harnesses and tack. Others prefer to keep a more general
collection, accumulating Star Trek merchandise, or stamps from all countries of the world. Some
collections are capable of being completed, at least to the extent of owning one sample of each possible
item in the collection (e.g. a copy of every book by Agatha Christie). Collectors who specifically try to
assemble complete collections in this way are sometimes called 'completist'. Upon completing a
particular collection, they may stop collecting, expand the collection to include related items, or begin an
entirely new collection. The most popular fields in collecting have specialized commercial dealers that
trade in the items being collected, as well as related accessories. Many of these dealers started as
collectors themselves, then turned their hobby into a profession. There are some limitations on collecting,
however. Someone who has the financial means to collect stamps might not be able to collect sport cars,
for example.

III. READING
Read the text carefully, then choose the correct answer.
Hobbies are practiced for interest and enjoyment, rather than financial reward. Examples include
collecting, creative and artistic pursuits, making, tinkering, sports and adult education. Engaging in a
hobby can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge, and experience. However, personal fulfilment is
the aim.
What are hobbies for some people are professions for others: a game tester may enjoy cooking as a
hobby, while a professional chef might enjoy playing (and helping to debug) computer games. Generally
speaking, the person who does something for fun, not remuneration, is called an amateur (or hobbyist), as
distinct from professional.
An important determinant of what is considered a hobby, as distinct from a profession (beyond the
lack of remuneration), is probably how easy it is to make a living at the activity. Almost no one can make
a living at cigarette card or stamp collecting, but many people find it enjoyable; so it is commonly
regarded as a hobby.
Amateur astronomers often make meaningful contributions to the professionals. It is -not entirely
uncommon for a hobbyist to be the first to discover a celestial body or event.
In the UK, the pejorative noun anorak (similar to the Japanese 'otaku' meaning a geek or enthusiast)
is often applied to people who obsessively pursue a particular hobby that is considered boring, such as
train spotting or stamp collecting.

a. Hobbies make people feel relaxed and satisfied. b. Hobbies can give people knowledge and
experience.

a. is usually paid for his hobbies b. may enjoy his work as a hobby

a. people can make a living at it b. people find it enjoyable
c. people find it profitable d. people find it easy to pursue

IV. READING : Read the passage and choose the best answer :(1 m )
When I was in Scotland last year, I visited a special hydroelectric power station. It is inside a
mountain. It rains a lot in the mountains of Scotland and there are huge lakes high up . The water falls
down through large pipes to a generator in the power station. The energy of the moving water turns the
generator and this produces electricity. A big transformer then increases the number of volts over
400.000. The electricity goes through cables to different parts of Scotland, England and Wales .
114
The inside of the power station was very clean because it doesn’t burn coal or gas. It was also very
quiet, I was very surprised. It was just like being in a hospital, really
I think hydroelectric power stations are much safer than nuclear power stations. They are also better
for the earth than coal or gas power stations. Some countries like Sweden and Netherlands have said they
aren’t going to build any more nuclear power stations. They are going to try to make clean electricity
using water or wind . I think we should do the same and spend more money in building hydroelectric
power stations .

III. Reading: Read the passage then choose the best answer for each sentence :(1 )
The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are
burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to
gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes. Experiment work is being done to derive
synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale, and coal tars . But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other
experimental are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the
earth, is also being tested. Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived
from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in
the United States, but today it supplies only 4 percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy.
Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments
are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.

A. synthetic fuels B. heat from the earth

The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896. There were nine sports: cycling,
tennis, gymnastics, swimming, track and field, weightlifting, rowing, wrestling and shooting. Sailing
was also to have taken place, but had to be cancelled because of bad weather at sea.
At that time, as today, most people were interested in the track and field events in the main
stadium.In the first Olympics there were no real team sports. Then, slowly, a few team sports joined
the program. Soccer and field hockey were the first team sports introduced into the Olympics in
London in 1908. then in 1936, at the Berlin Olympics, the Germans brought in handball and the
Americans had basketball accepted as an Olympic sport.
It often happens that the country introduces a new sport into the Olympics then goes on winning
the gold medals. In 1904, at the Olympics in St. Louis, the Americans introduced boxing and won all
seven events. Five horseback-riding events were introduced into the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, and
Swedish riders won four of them. And in 1964, at Tokyo Olympics, two sports which are very
popular in Japan were introduced: judo and volleyball. The Japanese won all three gold medals in
judo, and also won the first women’s volleyball competition.

IV. Read the passage and answer the questions: (1pts)
I like to be near water – sea, lake or river. That I probably because I was born in a village by the
sea, and I have lived most of my life close to water. When I am in some place which is far from lake,
river and sea, I am restless and I always feel that there is something missing, even though it is sometimes
hard for me to decide what it is.
Of course, the sports I like are the ones which need water – sailing, rowing and swimming. It is
possible to swim in small swimming pools, but rowing and sailing are impossible without a lot of water.
Rowing is best in a river and sailing on the sea or a big lake, but one can do some sailing on a river and
one can certainly row on a lake or the sea when the weather is good.
Of the three sports – swimming, rowing and sailing – I like rowing best because it is the easiest to
continue during the winter, when the water is too cold for comfortable swimming and the sea is often too
rough for sailing. Even on the coldest day one rows, only ice on the water or thick fog can stop one.
Sometimes it is so cold when I go out rowing that drops of water freeze wherever they fall. In such
weather, it is not very pleasant to swim as one cannot stay in the water very long. However, when rowing,
one gets warmer the longer one goes on.
1) What does the word “which” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. lake B. river C. sea D. some place
2) Why does he like rowing best?
A. Because it makes him warmer B. Because he can still it in cold days
C. Because it makes him stronger D. Because it is easier to play
3) Why are swimming and sailing not easy sports to continue in winter?
A. Because the sea is too rough B. Because the sea is coo cold
C. Because the water is too cold D. Both A and C
4) What sometimes happens when he goes out rowing in very cold weather?
A. Water drops B. Water is too cold
C. Drops of water freeze in the places they fall D. Drops of water fall

IV. READING : Read the passage and choose the best answer :(1 m )
I like to be near water – sea, lake or river. That I probably because I was born in a village by the
sea, and I have lived most of my life close to water. When I am in some place which is far from lake,
river and sea, I am restless and I always feel that there is something missing, even though it is sometimes
hard for me to decide what it is.
Of course, the sports I like are the ones which need water – sailing, rowing and swimming. It is
possible to swim in small swimming pools, but rowing and sailing are impossible without a lot of water.
Rowing is best in a river and sailing on the sea or a big lake, but one can do some sailing on a river and
one can certainly row on a lake or the sea when the weather is good.
Of the three sports – swimming, rowing and sailing – I like rowing best because it is the easiest to
continue during the winter, when the water is too cold for comfortable swimming and the sea is often too
rough for sailing. Even on the coldest day one rows, only ice on the water or thick fog can stop one.
Sometimes it is so cold when I go out rowing that drops of water freeze wherever they fall. In such
weather, it is not very pleasant to swim as one cannot stay in the water very long. However, when rowing,
one gets warmer the longer one goes on.
1) What does the word “which” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. lake B. river C. sea D. some place
123
2) Why does he like rowing best?

A. Because it makes him warmer B. Because he can still it in cold days
C. Because it makes him stronger D. Because it is easier to play
3) Why are swimming and sailing not easy sports to continue in winter?
A. Because the sea is too rough B. Because the sea is coo cold
C. Because the water is too cold D. Both A and C
4) What sometimes happens when he goes out rowing in very cold weather?
A. Water drops B. Water is too cold
C. Drops of water freeze in the places they fall D. Drops of water fall

Edwin Hubble was an American astronomer whose research led to discoveries about galaxies and the
nature of the universe. He settled a long debate by demonstrating that the Andromeda nebula was located
outside our galaxy, establishing the islands universe theory, which states that galaxies exit outside our
own. His study of the distribution of galaxies resulted in Hubble’s Constant, a standard relationship
between a galaxy’s distance from the earth and its speed of recession. By 1925, Hubble had devised a
classification system for the structure of galaxies and provided conclusive observation evidence for the
expansion of the universe. His work pushed the one-hundred-inch Mount Wilson telescope beyond its
capability and provided strong impetus for the construction of an instrument twice its size at Mount
Palomar, which Hubble used during his last years of research. The telescope
that bears his name was launched on a space shuttle in 1990 and orbits the earth, collecting data about
the size of the universe.

The Great Pyramid of Giza, a monument of wisdom and prophecy, was built as a tomb for
Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction make it one of the
truly great wonders of the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north,
south, east, and west – an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshippers and
great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further
scientific study indicates that these represent a type of time line of events – past, present, and future.
Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide
with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are presently under
investigation. Was this superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any
known today?
1. Approximately how long ago was the Great Pyramid constructed?
A. 640 years B. 2,720 years C. 4,000 years D. 4,730 years
