One of the biggest trends in television in recent years has been the rise of “Reality TV”. These shows, in
which ordinary people are placed in unusual situations and then filmed without a script, have become some of the
highest rating shows on television. Early programs of this genre, including Big Brother (from the Netherlands) and
Survivor (from the United States), have led to dozens of copycat programs in many different countries. A common
element to many of these programs is that a number of contestants are placed in a closed environment in which they
are filmed 24 hours a day, and every week contestants are thrown off the show. What is it about these shows that
makes them so popular? Perhaps it is because viewers enjoy watching ordinary people with real emotions being
placed in extraordinary, situations. Or perhaps it is that people are really voyeurs - they enjoy being a spy, looking
secretly into other people’s lives.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having
clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many
sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in
Russia is one of the largest lakes 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. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of
industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the governments do 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 offshore.
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 it. What should we do to save this precious source?

THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest structure humans have ever put into space. This gigantic
satellite is used both as a laboratory for new technologies and an observation platform for astronomical,
environmental and geological research. It is a permanently occupied outpost in outer space and it is considered to be
an important stepping-stone for further space exploration. The space station flies at an average altitude of 400
kilometers above the Earth and it circles the globe every 90 minutes at a speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour,
which means that in just one day, the station travels about the distance it would take from Earth to the moon and
back. It also means that astronauts on board the ISS get to see a sunrise every one and a half hour. Five different
space agencies representing 15 countries built the International Space Station for no less than 100 billion dollars. The
primary partners on the project are NASA, Russia’s Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities, the European
Space Agency, the Canadian Space Agency and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. The International Space
Station was taken into space piece-by-piece, which means that consists of modules and connecting nodes that contain
living quarters and laboratories powered by solar panels. The first module, the Russia Zarya, was launched in 1998.
Since then, a number of different modules have been added, extending the ISS one piece at a time. The space station
spans the area of a U.S. football field, and weighs 391,000 kilograms. The complex now has more living space than a
conventional five-bedroom house, and has two bathrooms and gym facilities and a 360-degree bay window.
Astronauts have also compared the space station’s living space to the cabin of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet.

Practical stress management can help students deal with their worries and become more productive,
competent and efficient. First of all, students must be able to design and stick to a timetable. Choose a relaxing
break between work and study, even if it’s just taking out time to breathe. In addition, a healthy lifestyle is
essential for students. Let’s drink more water as well as take out time to get some air and exercise. Furthermore,
organization is very important in academic life for dealing with stress. By keeping academic notes organized,
turning in assignments on time, and keeping track of all deadlines, stress can be reduced to a great extent. Stress
can also get worse if a person feels lonely. Therefore, by letting out all your thoughts to someone you trust, you
immediately feel a lot better. However, if you feel extremely stressed out, take a break and do something you love.
Whether it is painting or listening to music, doing something you enjoy can cheer up your mood and distract you
from a stressor. It’s about time that we students accept that we can achieve just as much in life without all the

You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure you understand the assignment. Write it
down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don't be afraid to ask questions about what is expected. It
is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!
If you want, you can also ask how long the particular homework assignment should take to complete so you can plan
your time.
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have libraries that
are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done. The more work you can get done in
school, the less you will have to dothat night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left
and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students should have between 1 and 3
hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will need to devote more time to homework.
No one is expected to understand everything, and maybe you need some help. The first place to turn for help
is your teacher. But what if you don't feel comfortable with your teacher? If you are in a big enough school, there may
be other teachers who teach the same subject. Speak to other teachers directly and you may be in luck. Sometimes it
just helps to have someone explain something in a different way. Moreover, you might also be able to get some help
from another student. If there is someone you like who is a good student, think about asking that person if you can
study together.
30. The most important thing that you should do when you get your assignment may be__________.
A. to know when you hand it in B. to understand it and its requirements

31. If you have any free time left at school, you should__________.
A. use it to do your homework in the library B. spend time with your friends
C. use it to understand the assignment D. use it to make your day planner
32. When students need some help, they should__________.
A. never ask other teachers for help
B. always turn to their own teachers for help
C. ask any good students at the subject in your school
D. go to their teachers or other teachers teaching the same subject
33. The main idea of the first three paragraphs is__________.
A. to get help when you need it B. to do homework immediately

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to increase your
strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the

If you'd like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your vocabulary. In order to do this, you
have to practice a lot. I'm afraid there is not a short cut for this. But there are many effective ways. First of all, you
should read a lot. You can read short stories, comics, newspapers, magazines, etc. Depending on your English level.
As you read, you can try to guess the meanings of unknown words from the context of the sentence. If you cannot,
then look up the definition in a dictionary. English to English dictionary should be your first choice and keen the
translator as last. Another way of building vocabulary is to watch movies in English which will also help with
pronunciation. Try to be involved with the language as much as you can. Keep a vocabulary notebook and write down
a few words each day. Keep in mind that you have to revise them regularly. In my opinion, to communicate with
people all you need is words. Even if you just say the words one after another, people most likely will understand
what you mean regardless of the order of the words and grammar.

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.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.Having clean
drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many
sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake
Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes 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. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive
volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the
government do 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 16 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.

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
Different Colours can affect us in many different ways; that’s according to Verity Allen. In her new series
‘Colour me Healthy’, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we
make. They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are.
‘Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?’ says Verity. ‘Our
toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue
and white is clean, while we think of green products as being a bit disgusting. It’s the same for businesses. We
respect a company which writes its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange.
People who design new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.’
During this four-part series, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each programme. She meets
people who work in all aspects of the colour industry, from people who design food packets, to people who name
the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to support their
ideas, such as the American ‘Colour Doctor’ who believes that serious diseases can be cured by the use of coloured
lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice,
with some surprising results.
Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But
because Verity is goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the series, it’s up to the viewers to
make their own decisions about how much they should believe.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Located in the subrange of the Himalayas, Mount Everest is the world’s highest mountain, standing at 29,029 feet
(8,848 meters). The Himalayas mountain chain was formed when the Indian tectonic plate, or in other words
massive rocks, pushed against the Asian plate.
British mountaineers tried to ascent to the summit of Mount Everest for many times until in 1953, a beekeeper from
New Zealand, Edmund Hillary, and the Nepalese Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay, became the first people to stand on the
summit of the world’s highest peak.
Several thousands of people have climbed to the peak since then, normally with the assistance of Sherpas, local
Nepalese people who carry the equipment and know the mountain very well. On 18 April 2014, in one of the worst
disasters to ever hit the Everest climbing community up to that time, 16 Sherpas died in Nepal due to the avalanche
that swept them off Mount Everest. In response to the tragedy, numerous Sherpa climbing guides walked off the job
and most climbing companies pulled out in respect for the Sherpa people mourning the loss. Some still wanted to
climb but there was really too much controversy to continue that year. One of the issues that triggered the work
action by Sherpas was unreasonable client demands during climbs.
Because of the harsh climate and the temperature that can drop down to -76°F (-60°C), this is a very dangerous
journey. The mountain is so high that the climbers have to use bottled oxygen to keep their lungs functioning.
Interestingly, the summit point also lies on the international border between Tibet and Nepal.

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to look
nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of the tooth. This
happens after germs and bits of food have collected there then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth.
Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill.
How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small
holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the
right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we
should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day-once after breakfast and
once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly,
we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body:milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw
vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between
meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.

the questions from 21 to 25
Climate scientists from the University of Sydney in Australia say tourism causes over 8 per cent of
greenhouse gasses. They also say that this figure will continue to increase because the tourism industry is growing.
Their study looked at the carbon footprint of many different areas of tourism. It studied the Co2; emissions from
transport, events, hotels, restaurants and shopping.
It even searched the carbon emissions from producing souvenirs. The researchers spent 18 months
conducting the research. They included the tourist activities of 189 countries. Researcher Dr Arunima Malik said her
team analysed the impact on the environment of over one million businesses involved in tourism
The researchers said domestic travel was a bigger cause of CO2, emissions than international or business
travel. Air travel was the largest part of tourism's footprint. The researchers said flying would continue to increase
global emissions as more people in the world become richer. The countries causing the most harm were the biggest
and richest nations. The USA, China, India and Germany had the largest tourism carbon footprints. Their carbon
emissions will continue to increase as more of their citizens travel.
The researchers encouraged holiday-makers and travelers to try and reduce their carbon footprint when on
vacation so their travel causes less harm to the planet. (

the questions
Polar bears on an island in Russia are scaring people in a small town. At least 52 polar bears have been seen
wandering around the town of Belushya Guba. The town is on the island of Novaya Zemlya, which is in the Arctic
Ocean. The situation has become serious because the bears have chased people and entered homes and offices.Local
officials have declared a “polar bear emergency". Local official Alexander Minayev said: “The people are scared. They
are frightened to leave homes and their daily routines are broken.
Parents are afraid to let their children go to school or kindergarten." A local said: "I have been [here] since
1983, but there have never been so many polar bears in the vicinity." Officials say the polar bears are roaming into
towns looking for food. They say that climate change is one reason for this. More sea ice is melting, which means the
bears are moving into new areas to find food. They are attracted by the smell of food in bins outside people's homes.
Town officials have asked for permission to kill the animals to reduce the danger to humans. However, Russia's
environmental agency has refused this request. Polar bears are classed as a vulnerable species. The World Wildlife
Fund says they are in danger because of the "ongoing and potential loss of their sea ice habitat resulting from climate
change". It is helping to keep the polar bears away from the people of Belushya Guba.

Hurricane
Tropical cyclones are called typhoons in Asia and hurricanes in North and South America. These storms go
around like a wheel turning to the left when they hit in the northern part of the world. They have wind speeds of
60kph or more. In the United States, the Tropical Prediction Center in Miami, Florida keeps! an eye out for hurricanes.
When meteorologists detect a hurricane, they give it a name. They can use either a male or female name. Why should
tropical cyclones have names? The name makes it easier for people to keep up with information about a hurricane and
its possible dangers.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an international weather group, decides what names will be
used. The WMO makes lists of names using the English alphabet. Each name on the list starts with a different letter.
The first hurricane of the year gets the first name on that year's list. The second hurricane gets the next name. For
example, if the first hurricane is named Abel, the second might be named Betty. (23)The name lists do not include
names beginning with the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z. There aren't many names that begin with these letters. 91 Asian
countries use a different list, which is made up by the WMO's Typhoon Committee. This list has a few personal names,
but most of the names are of flowers, animals, trees, and other similar things

enrolled but each time the answer was NO. Then one day, to her surprise, she got a letter from the dean of a college

people of that college learned that Elizabeth's application had the support of a famous doctor, and they were afraid to

the college, thinking that the students would be the last to agree to take Elizabeth.
When the boy students met, most students took no interest in the matter. Of the rest, some considered the
young American's idea interesting and some thought by having Elizabeth they would be proud of their college training
the world's first woman doctor. Very soon the students all agreed to accept Elizabeth. The dean of Geneva College

the world today. Several years ago, UNESCO’s World Cultural and Natural Heritage List had 411 places, and 136
countries were responsible for protecting them, and the list keeps on growing.
Usually, it is the task of a group of 21 experts to decide which places to go on the list. The experts are chosen

our natural and cultural heritages is a long and difficult task. Earthquakes, floods, pollution, wars, or even tourism are

answer to each of the following questions from 46 to 50.
The thing I like most about living on a farm when I was small was the change of seasons: spring. summer,
autumn and winter. I could see them all come and go and each one was completely different. If I hadn't been born
and raised in the country, I would have never been able to tell the difference. Now in the city, you can buy summer
flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year round. Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at
certain times of the year. For example, strawberries in June and turnips in winter. I lived my childhood with the
seasons.
Also we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh, so it must be
better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people think that people in the country miss a lot of
good things about modern life, but in my opinion they miss a lot more than them. They miss real life.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet indicate the correct
Football, or soccer in the U.S., dates back to 2500 B.C.E with the Chinese game of tsu chu. The sport we know
today originated from Britain. Today, more than 120 million players over the globe participate in the game, making
soccer the world's sport. So, why is soccer so popular? Maybe it's a feeling that the team on the field is your team;
their win is your victory, and their loss is your defeat. Or maybe it is the game's international quality. In countries like
France, England, Spain, Brazil, major teams have players from many different nations, and these clubs now have fans
all over the world. Or perhaps it's the promise of great wealth. A number of professional soccer players, including
Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, come from poor families. Today, both of these players
make millions of euros every year.
However, ultimately, the main reason for its universal appeal may be this: It's a simple game. It can be
played anywhere with anything – a ball, a can, or even some bags tied together. And anyone can play it. In the mid-
1800s, European colonists brought the game to Africa. Early matches were first played in the South African cities of
Cape Town in 1862: Today, some of the game's best players come from African nations and all over the continent,
thousands of soccer academies now recruit boys from poorer cities and towns to play the game. Their dream is to join
a national team or one of the big clubs in Europe someday. For some, the dream comes true, but for most, it doesn't.
Question 41: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How African soccer began B. The popularity of soccer
C. The history of soccer D. Soccer clubs
Question 42: According to the passage, where did the sport football or soccer that we know today originate from?
A. China B. America C. Britain D. Portugal
Question 43: In the second graph, which of these is NOT given as a possible reason for soccer's popularity?
A. The number of soccer games shown on TV B. The possibility or earning more money
C. Well-known players from many different countries D. The team spirit among players
Question 44: What does the author mean by "It's a simple game“ in paragraph 3?
A. You need to have the ability to play soccer well
B. There are many local versions of soccer
C. The rules are not difficult for people to understand
D. You can play it anywhere with anything
Question 45: What does the word "some" in the last sentence of paragraph 4 refer to?

The Americans are keen to win the race to send human beings to Mars. In 1992, the new boss of NASA, Dan
Goldin, called on the American people to be the first to send explorers to another planet in the solar system. He
reminded them of the symbolic gift carried to the moon and back by the Apollo 11 mission. It bears a message
intended for the crew of the first spaceship to visit Mars. Goldin thinks it is time to begin the preparation for this
historic journey. His speech echoed the words of the President, who promised that in 2019, 50 years after became
the first man to set foot on the moon, the first astronaut would stand on Mars.
By the end of the twentieth century, various unmanned spaceships will have thoroughly investigated the surface
of the planet. But, however clever a robot may be, it cannot match the type of information which can be gained -
from direct human experience. The first geologist on the moon, Harrison Schmitt, was capable of interpreting the
story of the landscape on the spot. Until humans walk on the red deserts of Mars, we will not be able to determine
the history of this frozen world in any detail.

Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal. More than 80
percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many problems with fossil fuel. One problem is that
when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air. Also, when we take fossil fuel from the Earth, we often cause a lot of
damage. Another problem is that we are running out of it. That is why we need new sources of energy. A big source
of energy for many countries is nuclear power. Thirty-one countries use nuclear power. Many ships also use it.
Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power. Nuclear power does not make the
air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn't need to buy as much as oil from other countries.
However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, nuclear accidents are
very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine. In the next 20 years, about 4,000 people got sick and
died. In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in Japan. Japan is still trying to clean up the nuclear
waste from the accident.
Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it is not safe. A lot of people want their
countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity. There have been protests against nuclear energy in the
United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan, India, and many other countries.
Although many people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it. One reason for this is that the
world is using more and more energy. We just don't have enough fossil fuel. However, if we use nuclear power, then
we may have more serious problems in the future.
