READING
• Read the passage below and choose the best answer from the four options marked A, B, C or
D:
As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North
America were building with adobesunbaked brick plastered with mud. Their homes looked remarkably
like modern apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand
people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up against
cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against enemies. They were really villages in
themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them “pueblos”, which is
Spanish for towns. The people of the pueblos raised what are called “the three sisters” corn, beans, and
squash. They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold
water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought
water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches. Water was so important that it
played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring
rain. The way of life of less – settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature. Small
tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky
Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as rabbits and
snakes. In the Far North the ancestors of today’s Inuit hunted seals, walruses, and the great whales. They
lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow. When summer
came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou. The Cheyenne, Pawnee and Sioux tribes,
- known as the Plains Indians, lived on the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi
River. They hunted bison, commonly called the buffalo. Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and
its hide was used to make their clothing and the covering of their tents and tips.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The architecture of early America Indian buildings
B. The movement of American Indians across North America
C. Ceremonies and rituals of American Indians

A. in valleys B. next to streams C. on open plains D. against cliffs

C. difficult to defend D. quickly constructed
D. They did not have many religious ceremonies.
5. According to the passage, which of the following tribes lived in the grasslands?
A. The Shoshone and Ute B. The Cheyenne

2. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or .D) to each question.
When I was younger, I hated being the oldest child and the only girl in my family. But now I am
older, I realize that being 'Big Sister' actually has its advantages. First of all, I get special treatment from
my parents and brothers. I get my on room, and brothers have to do all the heavy work around the house.
Another benefit is that, being the oldest, I have learned to be responsible and dependable. For example,
my parents often leave my brothers in my care when they go out. I also try my best in whatever I do in
order to be a good example for my brothers. The experience I've had in taking care of my brothers has
prepared me for my own family in the future. So, even though I didn't choose to be the oldest child and
the only girl in my family, I have succeeded in making this situation work to my best advantage.

Reading the following passage then answering the questions by circling the letters A, B, C or D.
John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left their
small flat for an old 40metrehigh castle tower. They have spent five years turning it into a
beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.
‘I love the space, and being private,' Elizabeth says. 'You feel separated from the world. If
I'm in the kitchen, which is 25 metres above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings, I don't
have to answer it because visitors can't see I'm in!'
- 'There are 142 steps to the top, so I go up and down five or six times a day, it's very good
exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy two bags of
shopping from the supermarket at a time. Apart from that, it's a brilliant place to live.'
'When we first saw the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we
couldn't decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we
really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look.'
'Living here can be difficult yesterday I climbed a fourmetre ladder to clean the
windows. But when you stand on the roof you can see all the way out to sea on a clear day, and
that's a wonderful experience. I'm really glad we moved.'

FOOD AROUND THE WORLD
It isn't amazing how much time we spend talking about food? "Have you ever eaten ...?", "What do you
have for lunch?" and so on. And yet, when you travel from one county to another, you find that people
have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal, and what other
people eat is strange and silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In
- England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating
becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The
English drink tea four or five times a day. Australians drink large amounts of beer and the French drink
wine every day.
The sorts of meat people like to eat also differ from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be
delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but
never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating
raw fish. So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is a little
common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy what they have always eaten, and there
is very little we can do to change our eating habit.

A. People have the same feelings about food.
B. People think about food differently.
C. People think that no meal is perfect without rice.

B. It tastes bad.
C. Horse meat and goat meat are popular.
5. In which country do people often drink beer?
A. France B. Australia C. England
6. Which is popular food in Japan?
A. Fish B. Horse meat C. Goat meat
7. How does the writer conclude about our eating habit?
A. Our eating habit is difficult to change.
B. People everywhere enjoy eating new food.
C. We can change our eating habit easily.
Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D (1 point)
Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) is a registered charity dedicated to assisting in developing
countries. More specifically, it is a recruitment agency which finds, selects, and laces volunteers in
response to overseas requests. This work makes it distinctive among other charities and organizations in
the U.K. It sends people, not money abroad.
VSO tries to respond to requests from overseas which ask for volunteers. Its bias is firmly towards the
poorest members of the community and it takes great care to avoid undermining job opportunities for
local people.
Both staff and volunteers also pay special attention to women’s roles in developments projects. This is
because women’s roles in child rearing, in education and community cohesion are essential in any healthy
process of change.
Over the past 38 years, more than 21,000 volunteers have worked abroad with VSO. There are now
over 1,900 volunteers working in 59 of the less developed countries in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the
Caribbean.
The application of each volunteer is carefully considered in order to select and interview candidates
against each job request from the field, to seek the person with the right blend of skills and personality.
Chosen volunteers will have the opportunities to acquire better understanding about life and people
everywhere.
- 1: Which group of countries is the VSO aimed at assisting?
A. developed countries B. underdeveloped countries
C. rich countries D. developing countries
2: Which of the following words is similar in meaning to “distinctive” in paragraph 1?
A. the same B. similar C. common D. different
3: According to those who work for VSO, who play the most important part in bringing about changes?
A. Women in local communities B. Charitable organizations
C. Staff who recruits volunteers D. Volunteers from abroad
4: Which the following is TRUE about VSO?
A. It recruits volunteers to work in the U.K.
B. It sends financial aids to developing countries.
C. It gives preference to applicants living abroad.
D. It sends volunteers to help abroad.
Doing some forms of voluntary work has never been more popular with British people. Over 20 million
people were engaged in voluntary activities in 2013. Volunteering means giving up time to do work of
benefit to the community. It can take many forms, from working with children with learning difficulties,
or in an animal hospital, or planting trees. When London won its bid to host the 2012 Olympics, up to
70,000 volunteers were needed to help ensure that the games were a success.
Volunteers can be anyone of any age. Students and fulltime workers often manage to involve in some
voluntary work. But what motivates volunteers? Some do it for a sense of selflessness while others find
they have free time available. Many mention the opportunity to get to know people they would not
normally meet.
A relatively new phenomenon is the hope of meeting new friends or even a life partner through
volunteering. In a recent British survey, 20% of 1824 yearolds and 8% of over65s said their love lives
had improved since they began volunteering. The same poll found that nearly half of volunteers enjoyed
improved health and fitness, a quarter lost weight especially those working with children or doing
conservation projects and twothirds felt less stressed. So, it seems volunteering may improve your life,
and you may even find the person of your dreams.
(Adapted from "Volunteering – for Love" by Magus, 2013)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Volunteering gives you an opportunity to change people's lives, including your own. It gives you the
satisfaction of playing a role in someone else's life, helping people who may not be able to help
themselves. Volunteering is a way of giving back to your community while developing important social
skills, and gaining valuable work experience all at the same time.
But how can I get a job if all they want is experience, you ask? That's where volunteering comes
in. If you're looking for work, volunteering is a good way to gain experience and references for your
course of life. Many people work unpaid in order to gain experience in very competitive fields such as
television, but some people may not describe them as volunteers. Well then, what exactly is
"volunteering"? Many would describe it as any unpaid job, which involves spending time doing
something that aims to benefit others. In that case, volunteering at an animal hospital, for instance, would
be a great opportunity. We've all seen the stories on TV about animals in need. This is where you take
charge of your life and contribute a little of your time and energy into helping others. You're bound to get
more out of it than you put in.
There are so many beneficial ways of getting involved in and giving back to your community. Not
only is volunteering a rewarding experience, but it helps teenagers' reputations. By giving up a few hours
of your day to clean up the local community park, you may bring a lifetime of happiness in some child's
life. Or provide shelter and warmth to a family who lives on the streets by volunteering to help in building
them a home. Why not spend a little time helping others, because in the end, what goes around comes
around.
Volunteering is not only effective, but it's a good way to meet people, learn, and develop social skills.

difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or

The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and
because of this , penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.
Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial
reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the
market. Although the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these
procedures, the practices continue.
A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we

programmes to help people improve their lives.

OXFARM: In the 1960s, it started working on longterm development in many countries. It wanted to

solve them. However, it continues to provide food to the hungry, the sick and the homeless.

correct answer to each of the questions
THE BEATLES
In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since
then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult
now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of
England and none of them had any training in music. They started by performing and recording songs by
black Americans and they had some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs
and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop
group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for
groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record
was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had
become too dangerous for them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take
their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they
first came out. Throughout the world many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.

‘The best age to start learning the violin is between three and six,' says Margaret Porter, a
violinist and music teacher. 'It's the time when you are learning about the world.' Margaret, who lives in
London, prefers to take pupils at three and four, although she has made lots of exceptions for keen five
year olds. When she started teaching the violin in 1972, her first class consisted of her children's five
yearold school friends.
Magaret's pupils have group lessons. Each group has about a dozen pupils and each lesson lasts an
hour, once a fornight. In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week with her. Parents also have
to attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons.
From the earliest lessons pupils learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they
have been playing for several years, and for a long time there is a big difference between their playing
and reading of music. Margaret says that her method is not supposed to produce great violinists, and
always suggests that pupils who perform particularly well should leave and study the violin using more
traditional methods.
