Reading 1
Florence Nightingale was born in Italy on 12 May, 1820 and was named Florence after the city
where she was born. Her parents were a wealthy couple, who had toured Europe for two years on
their honeymoon. During their travels, their first daughter, Parthenope, was born in Naples
(Parthenope is the Greek Name for this ancient city), followed one year later by Florence. On
returning to England, the Nightingales divided their time between two homes. In summer months
they lived at Lea Hurst in Derbyshire, and moved to Embley in Hampshire for the winter.
Florence and Parthenope were taught at home by their father, who graduated from Cambridge
University. Florence was good at studying, while her sister excelled at painting and making clothes.
Florence grew up to be a lively and attractive young woman, admired in the family's social circle.
She was expected to make a good marriage, but Florence had other concerns. In 1837, Florence had
what she described as her “calling.” She was determined to do some work. During those days, her
parents refused to allow her to become a nurse as in the mid-nineteenth century, it was not
considered a suitable profession for a well-educated woman. Florence went to Europe with two
friends in spite of her family's objection. The three traveled to Italy, Egypt, and Greece. Florence
then began her nursing training.
1. Which of the following description about Florence’s family is true?
A. Her parents were rich. B. Her father and her mother were separate
C. They moved several times a year. D. Florence had only one younger sister.
2. Florence was___________.
A. a good wife B. graduated from Cambridge University
C. good at studying D. attractive in school
3. What is Florence's "calling"?
A. to make a good marriage B. to be a well-educated woman
C. to be a nurse D. to travel around the world
4. Why did Florence's parents refuse to allow her to become a nurse?
A. Because they wanted her to be a well-educated woman.
B. Because at the time people didn't think much of nursing.
C. Because well-educated women were despised at that time.
D. Because she didn't receive any training about it.
Reading 2
Joy Hirsch, a neuroscientist in New York, has recently found evidence that children and adults don't
use the same parts of the brain when learning a second language. He used an instrument called an
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to study the brains of two groups of bilingual people. One group
consisted of those who had learned a second language as children. The other consisted of people
who learned their second language later in life. People from both groups were placed inside the MRI
scanner. This allowed Hirsch to see which parts of the brain were getting more blood and were more
active. He asked people from both groups to think about what they had done the day before, first in
one language and then the other. They couldn't speak out loud, because any movement would
disrupt the scanning.
Hirsch looked specifically at two language centers in the brain-Broca's area, believed to control
speech production, and Wernicke's area, thought to process meaning. He found that both groups of
people used the same part of Wernicke's area no matter what language they were speaking. But how
they used Broca's area was different.
People who learned a second language as children used the same region in Broca's area for both
languages. People who learned a second language later in life used a special part of Broca's area for
their second language-near the one activated for their native tongue.
How does Hirsch explain this difference? He believes that, when language is first being
programmed in young children, their brains may mix all languages into the same area. But once that
programming is complete, a different part of the brain must take over a new language. Another
possibility is simply that we may acquire languages differently as children than we do as adults.
Hirsch thinks that mothers teach a baby to speak by using different methods such as touch, sound,
and sight. And that's very different from sitting in a high school class.
1. What is the topic of the text?
A. How people become bilingual
B. How to be a better second language learner
C. Research into the brains of bilingual people

B. to see the movements of the brains when people speak
C. to observe the areas of the brains when people slept
D. to find out the best areas of the brains for learning second languages
3. The language center in the brain that is believed to control speech production is called
__________.
A. MRI B. native tongue C. Wernicke's area D. Broca's area
4. Which of the following is TRUE for bilingual people?
A. Bilinguals use the same part of Wernicke's area.
B. Bilinguals use the same part of Broca's area.
C. Monolinguals never use Broca's area and Wernicke's area.
D. Bilinguals use different parts of Wernicke's area.
5. What is different about how adults learn languages, compared to young children?
A. They are often taught by their mothers.
B. They mainly learn in a formal classroom setting.
C. They use different methods to learn, such as with touch, sound, sight.
D. Their brains mix the languages in the same area.

Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 28 to 34.
Adults think playing sports is beneficial for children because it is fun and helps children stay in
shape and even develop their social skills when they play with others. However, playing sports can
have negative effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-esteem or aggressive
behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 20 million out of the 40
million kids who play sports in the US say they have been yelled at or called names while playing
sports. Thus, many children think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches whom children usually look up to,
are the main cause of too much aggression in children's sports. They think children copy aggressive
adult behavior that is then further reinforced through both positive and negative feedback. Often
these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is
everything. Children are even taught that hurting other players is acceptable, or are pushed to
continue playing even when they are injured. In addition, the media makes violence seem exciting.
Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.
To solve this problem, parents and coaches should act as better examples for children and teach
them better values. They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. Instead, they
should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It is not necessary to knock
oneself out to enjoy sports. In addition, children should not be allowed to continue to play when
they are injured so that they won't think winning is more important than health. If people make
some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.
Question 28. What is the benefit of playing sports according to the passage?
A. It is fun.
B. it helps children stay healthy
C. It helps develop children’s social skills.
D. All are correct
Question 29. What does the idiom "call names" mean?
A. To have a roll call.
B. To give someone a nickname
C. To name a person after someone else
D. To insult or abuse someone with words
Question 30. What is the main cause of more aggressive playing?
A. adults B. referees C. other players D. the media
Question 31. Which is NOT mentioned as a negative message that affects children?
A. Winning is everything.
B. Hurting others while playing sports is alright.
C. You must continue playing when injured.
D. It is acceptable to lose.
Question 32. Which is the closest in meaning to the word "values" in paragraph 3?
A. weaknesses B. importance C. consequences D. losses
Question 33. Which statement is NOT true?
A. Parents and coaches are sending children the message that winning is everything when they push
injured children to continue to play.
B. About 50 percent of children had some negative experience when playing sports.
C. Though children look up to their parents and coaches, they seldom copy adult aggressive
behavior.
D. To knock oneself out means to try so hard that one becomes exhausted.
Question 34. What is the main idea of this article?
A. Playing sports can be hazardous to children's health.
B. Playing sports may have negative results.
C. Adults put too much emphasis on winning.
D. Children shouldn't indulge themselves in sports.
Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Most people are afraid of something. Some people are afraid of the dark while others are afraid of
cats or of driving on busy streets. There are some people who do not just have a normal fear of
something: they have a "phobia". The word phobia comes from the Greek word phobos, which
means fear. In addition, a phobia is different from just being afraid. A phobia is an extreme fear and
it is a very strong reaction to something.
For decades, psychologists have been interested in how the human mind works and why people
have phobias. However, no one can be certain what the causes of phobia are. Generally, there are
two main theories about what causes phobias. One theory is that a phobia is learned. For example, a
girl got bitten by a big dog when she was three. From this experience, she learns to be very afraid of
dogs. Every time she sees a dog, she feels afraid and thus develops cynophobia. There is another
way she could learn to develop this phobia by learning it from someone else. For example,
whenever the girl and her father are in a park and see a dog, the father gets very scared. The girl
sees how her father reacts and she develops cynophobia consequently.
The second theory says that a phobia is only a sign or a symptom of another problem. The phobia
itself is not a real problem. It is usually a serious emotional problem. For example, there is a woman
who is afraid of being in closed places. She has claustrophobia. According to this theory, she
actually has another problem: she is really showing her fear of something else, not necessarily the
fear itself. What she fears is not the closed places but her father, who was very strict and often
yelled at her when she was young. Her fear of being in closed places is only a sign of her serious
problem concerning her father.
Although both theories look similar, there are still some differences between them. Knowing the
differences is important because it affects how the phobia is treated. If we know the cause, then we
can find the best treatment. If a phobia is learned, perhaps it can be unlearned. A psychologist who
believes the first theory will try to teach someone to react differently when he or she sees a dog. On
the other hand, a psychologist who believes the second theory will try to help the patient find the
deeper problem and how this deeper problem is related to the phobia.
Question 35. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. A child may develop cynophobia from a dog bite.
B. Cynophobia cannot be learned from someone else.
C. People cannot learn to control their phobias.
D. A phobia is by no means a strong reaction to something.
Question 36. In which paragraph can the definition of phobia be found?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4.
Question 37. Which of the following jobs would be bad for someone who has claustrophobia?
A. grocery store clerk B. zookeeper
C. public park attendant D. elevator operator
Question 38. What does “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. being afraid B. an extreme fear C. a strong reaction D. a phobia
Question 39. Which is the closest in meaning to the word “symptom” in paragraph 3?
A. character B. mark C. indication D. inclination
Question 40. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the causes of
phobias?
A. The patient develops phobias from his/her own experiences.

The fate of the British Cruise Liner "Titanic" is one of the great disaster stories of the twentieth
century. It is a story that has been retold over the years, written about in history books and made
into Hollywood movies. It is so famous that it has become a piece of modern folklore.
The Titanic was built to be the world's largest ship at a time when shipping was the main method of
global transportation. When the ship was launched, it became the attention of world media. The
designer of the Titanic, a man called Thomas Andrews, built the hull of the Titanic with sixteen
watertight compartments. Because three of these compartments could be flooded without
endangering the ship, many people believed the Titanic was unsinkable.
On 11, April, 1912, the Titanic set out on its maiden voyage to New York City. The first day of the
voyage was uneventful. But then on Sunday morning, April 14, the ship received a warning that
icebergs lay ahead. Throughout the day, the Titanic kept its course until a call at 11:40 p.m. said
"Icebergs right ahead!" The captain ordered a turn and a complete stop but it came too late. The
Titanic crashed into a huge iceberg and badly damaged. Andrew Thomas was at the Captain's Deck
when the damage reports came in. He knew the fate of the Titanic. He told Captain Smith that the
Titanic would certainly sink.
The 2227 passengers and crew were told of the imminent disaster. The lifeboats were loaded firstly
with women and children but it was obvious that there wasn't enough room for everyone. Just after
2 a.m., the last lifeboat was launched and the remaining 1,500 passengers realized they were going
to die. At 4 a.m., a nearby ship arrived after it heard the Titanic's distress signals on radio. All that
remained of the 46000 ton liner was a small collection of lifeboats and 705 freezing survivors.
Unfortunately, the ship that everyone thought "unsinkable" had not even completed its maiden
voyage.

Every year, kids and teens look forward to summer vacation. However, for one group of teens,
summer vacation means the beginning of some major changes, and is approached with hesitance.
After they are parted, maintaining friendships is going to take time and effort, because everybody is
going in different directions. For instance, some people are off to college or university, some are out
to travel and experience the world, and others are diving right into the workforce.
Whatever the paths your friends are choosing after graduation, chances are you won't all walk the
same one. Naturally, it won't be easy to keep your friendships alive, but here are some tips to
follow.
The first and most important thing to do in order to maintain high school friendships is to stay in
touch by making phone calls, sending email, and in some cases snail- mailing your friends.
However, as the demands on your time increase and new friends appear in your new life, you will
have to make a realistic choice, which leads us to the next step-prioritize your friendships.
This may seem cold but it is necessary. As you enlarge your social circles, you need to make room
for new friendships and this will require you to rearrange the old ones. Over time, some friends will
completely disappear, some will turn into acquaintances, and others will become even closer and
more important than they were in high school. As a result, you need to decide which friendships are
most worthy of your time and effort and act accordingly.
Friends will come and go, but all will teach you something about who you are and who you want to
be. If you lose a friend, instead of focusing on the temporary emptiness this may leave in your life,
reflect on what you have gained by having had that friend in your life and make it a part of your
memory.
