Read the following passages
and mark the best
One of the smallest of all mammals is the shrew, a mouse like creature
with a head and body length of only 3.8 centimetres. All shrews are small,
with dense, velvety fur, long tails, and tiny eyes and ears. Shrews have
been called bloodthirsty, though the label is not entirely accurate
because they must eat almost constantly to stay alive. The animal is
believed to have a very high metabolic rate and cannot live more than a
few hours without food. In the absence of normal prey, it will turn to
cannibalism to survive. The shrew, or some closely related animal, can be
found on every continent except Australia. Since this tiny animal has a
reputation for having a very bad temper, the adjective “shrewish” is
sometimes used to describe a certain type of women.
35-The passage tells us
that the shrew……… .
A)has a very short life span
B)is similar to a mouse in appearance
C)lives in dense forests
D)makes an exceptionally good pet
E)is in the habit of eating every two hours
36-The passage states that
shrews……….. .
A)are found in huge numbers in Australia
B)are the smallest living mammals
C)eat each other when they can’t find any food
D)feed on the blood of other mammals
E)eat rarely but in large amounts at a time
37-From what is stated in
the passage, we can infer that a shrewish woman is someone who………… .
A)has tiny eyes and ears
B)is very fond of velvet and fur
C)keeps shrews as pets
D)easily gets annoyed
E)is noticeably smaller than the average
Over the past 30 years,
children’s consumption in Britain has increased dramatically. In the
average family of two parents and two children, spending on toys and
children’s clothing has more than tripled, and spending on sweets, ice-cream
and soft drinks has risen by one-third. Research has recently found that
spending is around £3,000 per child per year. The growth in spending
reflects higher living standards, but it has been boosted by the efforts
of the advertising industry. Campaigns directed straight at children
account for much advertising expenditure. Most children in Britain over
eight now have a television in the bedroom; on average, they watch 900
hours of TV a year, which is more than the 750 hours the average child is
actually being taught in school. Thus a child could see at least 10,000
commercials a year.
38-The average family 30 years ago………. .
A)bought more children’s clothes and books and less ice-cream and candy
B)watched more TV commercials than today
C)had a higher living standard than today
D)didn’t have a television set

39-One reason that
children’s consumption in Britain has risen is that……….. .
A)parents tend to have fewer kids now
B)more kids are involved in advertising campaigns
C)researchers advise parents to spend £3000 per year
D)the living standard has risen in the country over the years
E)children have much more money themselves nowadays
40-The author concludes the
fact that most children over 8 now have their own television set means……..
.
A)children prefer watching television to going to school
B)children are not as healthy as they were
C)more, children are missing school in order to watch television
D)an increasing amount of commercials are being watched by children
E)children spend a lot of time away from their parents
A movement called Jubilee
2000 is campaigning for Third World debt cancellation as a fitting way to
mark the millennium. Launched two years ago, the group is now working in
42 countries, and is now supported by a large number of celebrities.
Leaders of the group are harsh critics of the big creditors’ role in the
developing world. In Tanzania, for example, one child in six dies before
the age of five due to the lack of proper health care, but the government
spends four times more on paying the interest on its debts than on primary
health care. Money needed for health and education programs goes instead
to rich international creditors, whose billions have often supported
corrupt elites.
41-According to the passage,
the purpose of Jubilee 2000 is……… .
A)to hold a charity concert involving a lot of celebrities
B)to allow poor nations to escape paying back large loans
C)to criticise big creditors in the developing world

2000 argue that………… .
A)42 countries need to have their debts cancelled
B)creditors should lend poor nations more money for primary health care
C)celebrities of the developing countries are not responsible enough
D)celebrities are important in making the world a better place to live
E)paying interest on huge debts is one reason many children die in
developing countries
43-The passage implies that
ordinary people in the developing world……… .
A)cannot afford to celebrate the millennium
B)should be helped by the big creditors in their countries
C)would benefit from large debts being cancelled
D)are often the ones who haven’t received any education
E)are ignorant of basic principles of health care
Palmistry is the practice
of ‘reading hands’, of gaining knowledge about personality, past
individual history, and likely future events by examining the shape and
size of the fingers and, most important, the lines and bumps on the palms
themselves. There is some evidence that palmistry may have begun in the
Stone Age. Hand outlines can be seen in black and red pigments on the
walls of the ancient caves of Almira in Spain and in other European caves.
Palmistry as it exists today probably had its origins in ancient India
long before recorded history and found its way into western Europe through
nomadic bands of Gypsies, who made contact with Europe in the 15th century.
44-Of the following, the
one not mentioned in the passage as part of palmistry is………. .
A)foretelling the future

45-It is stated in the
passage that the most essential thing for a palm reader to do is……….. .
A)to examine people’s past histories
B)to inspect the fingers carefully
C)to practise by ‘reading’ many palms
D) to look closely at the surface of the palm
E)to learn about different personality types
46-The passage explains
that it is most likely that palmistry as we know it began……….. .
A)in various parts of Europe
B)in India in ancient times
C)in caves in Spain
D)in the 15th century
E)in the Stone Age
Aphids are tiny green
insects that are a chronic pest for farmers. Spiders and ground beetles
living along field margins can keep their numbers under control. But as
fields have become larger, the spiders and beetles take longer to get to
the middle of them, so farmers began using pesticides for a problem that
was once controlled naturally. An insect ecologist came up with a new
solution called “beetle banks”. These are one metre-wide strips of grass
planted at 100-metre intervals across the fields. After two years, there
will be enough beetles and spiders in one beetle bank to eat 52 million
aphids a week, and the farmer will get rid of aphids without using a
single drop of pesticide.
47-We can infer from the
passage that………. .
A)all insects are pests for farmers
B)spiders and beetles are beneficial for farmers
C)farmers want to keep the number of spiders and beetles under control
D)farmers are legally not allowed to use pesticide’
E)aphids are only dangerous if they amount to large numbers
48-The passage states that………..
.
A)beetle banks are a natural method of pest control
B)beetles can eat 52 million aphids every two years
C)farmers have to keep checking the numbers of aphids in their fields
D)one of the jobs of insect ecologists is to develop pesticides
E)the main purpose of pesticides is to kill beetles and spiders
49-Though he does not state
it directly, the author seems to believe that….……… .
A)natural methods are inadequate to control aphids
B)pesticides are usually the best way of controlling pests
C)beetle banks are one-metre wide strips of grass
D)spiders and beetles should stay in field margins so they won’t bother
the farmers
E)’natural methods are better than pesticides for controlling pests
The ancient Greeks built
open-air theatres, usually on a hillside, with semi-circular rows of seats
overlooking a circular space called the orchestra. The restored theatre at
Epidaurus, dating from about 350 B.C., is a good example of a Classical
Greek theatre. The Romans altered this plan by introducing a raised
platform for the performers. The first theatre in London was erected in
Shoreditch by Richard Burbage, a colleague of Shakespeare; a little later,
in about 1590, he built the more famous Globe theatre across the River
Thames at Southwark. However, the first theatre in the modern sense was
built at Parma, Italy in 1618, with the familiar plan of an auditorium
with a raised stage and a curtain.

53-Once upon a time in Britain, food was something you simply ate.
Industrialised early, Britain became a country of cities and factories

largely made up of iron, oxygen, silicon and magnesium in that order
56-Branches of the same
family, the Czechs and the Slovaks speak similar tongues. Slovaks endured
Hungarian rule for most of their history; Czechs enjoyed power and
influence before bending to Habsburg control. …….. . In the “velvet

57-ln the year 1906, San
Francisco was wrecked by an earthquake. The earthquake was the result of

kilometres along the west coast of America. It seems as if the whole floor
of the Pacific Ocean was shifted northwards by a distance of about 6
