and Europe, recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and
discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to
use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is “Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle”.
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister
packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant
comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box and a bag. All that packaging is wasted
resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and
utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When low-quality

All languages have rules for forming words and for ordering those words in
meaningful sentences. In written languages, meaning is expressed through a system of
characters and rules for combining those characters. In spoken languages, meaning is
expressed through a system of sounds and rules for combining them. Word order is more
important in English than it is in some languages, such as Russian.
Like other languages, English is always changing, but it changes very slowly, people
invent new words, borrow words from other languages, and change the meaning, of words as
needed. For example, the English word byte was invented by computer specialists in 1959.
The word tomato was borrowed from Nahuatl, an American Indian language spoken in
Mexico. The word meat once referred to food in general. People learn English as well as

The way that seismic waves travel shows that the Earth's interior is far from uniform. The
continents and the seabed are formed by the crust - a thin sphere of relatively light, solid
rock. Beneath the crust lies the mantle, a very different layer that extends approximately
Beyond a depth of around 2,900 kilometers, a great change takes place and the mantle gives
way to the core. Some seismic waves cannot pass through the core and others are bent by it.
From this and other evidence, geologists conclude that the outer core is probably liquid, with
a solid center. It is almost certainly made of iron, mixed with smaller amounts of other
elements such as nickel.
The conditions in the Earth's core make it a far more alien world than space. Its solid iron
heart is subjected to unimaginable pressure and has a temperature of about 9,000oF.
Although scientists can speculate about its nature, neither humans nor machines will ever be
able to visit it.
1: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Jules Verne’s supposition of the Earth’s center.
B. The Earth’s interior through the study of seismic waves
C. The comparison between the Earth’s core and the outer space
D. The depth and the temperatures at the Earth’s interior
2: What is today’s richest source of information about the Earth’s interior for geologists?
A. Boreholes B. Shells C. Seismic waves D. Mines
3: The word “conflicting” in line 1 is closest in meaning to
A. controlling B. important C. outdated D. opposing
4: The word “There” in line 9 refers to the
A. mantle B. crust C. seabed D. Earth’s center.
5: Which of the following is a primary characteristic of the Earth’s mantle?
A. Light, solid rock B. Uniformity of composition
C. Dramatically increasing pressure D. Compressed, incandescent gas
6: Which of the following terms is NOT given as a definition in the passage?
A. mantle B. crust C. seismic waves D. outer core
7: Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A. At relatively great depths, the rock behaves more like a liquid than a solid
Yet one authority states categorically: "A machine can handle information, it can calculate,
conclude and choose; it can perform reasonable operations with information. A machine,
therefore, can think.” Famed mathematician Norbert Wiener, of MIT, envisions a machine
that can learn and will "in no way be obliged to make such decisions as we should have
made, or will be acceptable to us." (1) .
There is a popular anecdote about a computer programmer who, just for a lark, spent days
setting up the machine to destroy itself, then watched delightedly as the computer dutifully
proceeded to commit suicide. (2) .
To me the controversy boils down to a definition of the word think . There is no area in
physiology that is less understood than the human brain . Practically all that is known is that
the brain contains some ten billion tiny cells called neurons. (3) .The completely
materialistic view is that neurons, along with an extraordinary network of nerve-
(4) . The brain has roughly a million times as many components as the best computer.
On the other hand, the difference may lie in a spiritual factor, embraced by religion. At any
rate, a machine cannot exercise free will or originate anything-not yet. Whether it ever will is
still an open argument.
Computers can already do a lot of surprising things, which include predicting the weather.
(5) , but this, as well as most of the other tasks now performed by the thinking
machines, is routine, requiring thinking of a very low order.
A. Apparently neurons are elementary memory units, capable of storing the same kind of
information "bits" that a machine can store.
B. The machine is able to make forecasts by assimilating vast quantities of data
C. The machine is composed of different elements rather than memory units
D. If that machine could have thought, would it not have circumvented him?
E. Evidently, he thinks machines can think.
F. Probably the clearest differentiation between man and machine is a quantitative one

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll was born on February 2, 1977 in the northern Columbian town
of a Catalan and Italian mother and an American father of Lebanese descent. Shakira began
her musical career at the tender age of 8 when she wrote her first heart-wrenching song "Tus
GafasOscuras" in memory of her brother who has lost his life in a car accident. At 10 years of
age, Shakira applied to be in the school of choir, but she was turned off on the grounds that
her voice was too strong and sounded like the bleating of a goat.
Instead of giving up, Shakira kept her focus on music and participated in a televised singing
competition for children, after which she started being invited to various events in
Barranquilla and became a local celebrity. When she turned 13, she caught the eye of theatre
production Monica Ariza, who took her under her wing and made her name known outside
Barranquilla. On a flight from her hometown to the Columbian capital of Bogota, Ariza
happened to sit next to Sony executive Ciro Vargas, that agreed to hold an audution for

I am proud of my school a lot because it is beautiful and big. I always want to do
something to make my school a clean and green place so that I and my friends can study at
the best environment. To make the school clean, students sweep the classrooms and school
yard every morning, clean the doors and windows every week. We put trash cans on every
corner of the school, in front of each classroom there is always a recycle bin. Moreover, we
are taught not to litter and have to put rubbish at right places. If we do that we will be
punished heavily. To make the school green, we plant a lot of trees at the school yard and
take care of them, water them, and sweep their leaves regularly.
