Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before reading.
Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs jumping forward or
backward to process information). They also relate important points to one another. Also, they activate and use
their prior knowledge. When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to change
strategies. Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or "fix up" mistakes in
comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills. They tend
to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to monitor their studying, for
example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content; they may not be aware of
the purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of looking back, or employing "fix-up" strategies to fix
understanding problems. Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that they
must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it. Children with learning
disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be disorganized. Students
with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well. They often have difficulty keeping
track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing work on time. Unlike good students
who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-achieving students use a restricted
range of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are important for learning; and they tend
to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure or
difficulty.
(Source: Adapted from Study Skills: Managing Your Learning - NUI Galway)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answers to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
The world's population reached five billion on the day I was born. That was in Indonesia back in 1987, and
my parents were amazed that there were so many people on the planet. However, since then the
population has continued to increase.

3
 The growth of our human population is extraordinary. For more than two million years, humans lived
with no permanent home, finding plants to eat and hunting animals for meat. Then, just 10,000 years ago, we
invented agriculture. At that time, there were only about five million humans, but this figure quickly doubled.
The population reached a billion in 1805, and since then it has multiplied seven times.
The human population has never been bigger, but in some ways the planet seems to be getting smaller. In
the past, travellers from Europe to Indonesia spent months at sea. Now you just have to sit on a plane for a
few hours. When you arrived in another country a hundred years ago, you saw unfamiliar styles of clothing
and architecture and discovered a completely different culture. In many places today, clothing and new
buildings are very similar, and people enjoy the same sports, music, films and TV shows. We also buy the
same products from huge, global companies. In our different continents, we are starting to live the same lives.
Even the languages that we use are becoming more global. There are around seven thousand languages in use
today, but the number is decreasing fast.
The same thing is happening around the world. Experts think that the number of different languages will
halve to just 3,500 by the end of this century. Where will it stop? Will there be a time in the future when
Earth's billions all speak just one language, and there are no cultural differences to divide us? Perhaps
the planet would be more peaceful if this happened, but I must admit that the idea is quite depressing.
I prefer to think that, as our population grows, we can celebrate not the similarity but the fascinating
diversity of the human race.
(Adapted from Insight by Roberts and Sayer)
Question 34. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. The global population rose considerably after the appearance of agriculture.
B. Taking a flight to travel from Europe to Indonesia is quite common nowadays.
C. Global products can only be bought at big companies.
D. In the past, humans only consumed plant-based products.
Question 35. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Impressive Progress Across the Globe
B. Going Global
C. Languages: Why Saving Endangered Tongues Matters?
D. More People, Fewer Problems?
Question 36. The word 'discovered' in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A. found B. brought C. quit D. sought
Question 37. The word 'extraordinary' in paragraph 2 mostly means ________.
A. unusual B. positive C. expected D. disappointing
Question 38. The word 'it' in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. meat B. agriculture C. population D. home
Question 39. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. There certainly won't be any cultural conflicts if a global language is in use.
B. The writer is in favour of a world with cultural differences.
C. Earth citizens should embrace the idea of cultural assimilation.
D. People living in this world will ultimately speak the same language.
Question 40. According to paragraph 1, the world's population .
A. follows an upward trend B. reached more than 5 billion in 1987
C. is set to stop at a certain time D. decreased quite a long time ago

Although playing video games is one of the most popular leisure activities in the world, research into its

evaluated among paediatric patients. (20)_____ a form of physiotherapy or occupational therapy in many
different groups of people. Such games focus attention away from potential discomfort and, unlike more

However, there has been no long term follow-up and no robust randomised controlled trials of such
interventions. (21)_____. Furthermore, it is not known whether any distracting effect depends simply on
concentrating on an interactive task or whether the content of games is also an important factor as there have
been no controlled trials (22)_____. Further research should examine factors within games such as novelty,

Ostriches
Ostriches are the largest and heaviest birds on earth. They can grow to be as tall as 9 feet and can weigh
as much as 250 pounds. Even though they have wings, they cannot fly. Instead, ostriches have long, powerful
legs that help them to run very fast when they feel threatened. Ostriches use their wings to move themselves
forward and to help them change direction.
Ostriches are native to Africa, where they still live in desert areas and dry, open grasslands called
savannahs. Ostriches can also be found in zoos all over the world. Humans have domesticated ostriches, so
now ostriches live on farms in over a dozen countries, including the United States, China, India, Japan, Brazil
and Costa Rica. They are raised for their meat, skin, and feathers.
Ostriches like to live in small groups called herds. The male ostrich is called a rooster; the female, a hen.

answer to each of the following questions.
If you’re an Australian Facebook user who loves to share the news on your timeline, you may have noticed
something different recently: You can’t.
In the next few days, though, things should go back to normal. Less than a week after suddenly banning
news links for Australian users and shutting down Australian news pages to protest an upcoming law, Facebook
says it’s gotten reassurances from the Australian government that it won’t be forced to pay publishers but will
instead be given the chance to negotiate agreements with them — which it’s already starting to do. According
to the Sydney Morning Herald, Facebook has agreed to pay the major Australian media company Seven West
Media for news content and is in negotiations with another called Nine Entertainment.
Australia has now passed the News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code, which
could force Facebook and Google to pay publishers if they host their content. The law is a response to years-
long complaints from news outlets around the world about the role that Google and Facebook — and their
mammoth digital ad businesses — have played in the decline of journalism and the decimation of its business
model in the internet age. The two companies responded to the then-potential law in very different ways: Google
made deals with Australian news publishers; Facebook decided to cut them off entirely.
After a few days of Australians seeing what Facebook was like without the news, a sizable amount of
worldwide backlash against the company, and talks with the Australian government that resulted in a few last-
minute changes to the law, Facebook decided that the new terms were good enough for its ban to end. The law
passed a few days later.
Previously, Facebook had banned all users from sharing links to Australian news sources, Australian
publications’ pages from hosting any of their own content, and Australian users from sharing any news links,
Australian or international.
Question 34: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. News Links for Australian Users
B. Australia and The News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code
C. A Sizable Amount of Worldwide Backlash Against A Company
D. Why Facebook Banned and Then Unbanned News in Australia
Question 35: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. publishers B. reassurances C. Australian media D. negotiations
Question 36: In paragraph 2, Facebook suddenly banned news links for Australian users to ______.
A. protest an upcoming law
B. get reassurances from the Australian government
C. protect Australian news pages
D. negotiate agreements with publishers
Question 37: The word “major” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. public B. stupid C. main D. stylish
Question 38: The word “content” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
8
A. word B. article C. force D. name
Question 39: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Facebook has agreed to pay Seven West Media for news content.
B. Google and Facebook responded to the law differently.
C. The laws issued by Australian government was changed at the last minute.
D. Facebook has never banned users from sharing links to Australian news sources.
Question 40: Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Australians will never see the news on Facebook.
B. Facebook ended its ban thanks to acceptable teams, and things went back to normal.
C. There was a huge amount of worldwide protest against the Australian government.
D. Australian government’s law shouldn’t have been changed at the last minute.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Grandparents are becoming the forgotten generation, with youngsters now too busy to listen to their stories
from the olden days.
A study of 1,000 five- to 18-year-olds reveals just 21 per cent will visit their older relatives to hear about
how their lives were different in the past; such as where they worked, how it was living in the war, and how
they met the love of their life. More than half of youths have no idea what job their grandparent did before
retirement. Sadly, one in ten admit they are simply not interested in their grandmother's or grandad's talents and
interests, and a quarter only turn up to see them for pocket money. But 23 percent claim the reason they don't
know anything about their older relatives is that they don't really get the chance to talk properly.
Researchers found that although 65 per cent of youngsters do see their grandparents every single week, 37
per cent claim this is only because their parents want them to. And while 39 per cent talk to their grandparents
on the phone, Facebook or Skype at least once a week - 16 per cent once a day - conversation is rarely focused
on what they are doing or have done in the past. Four in 10 kids have no idea what their grandparent's proudest
achievements are, while 30 per cent don't know if they have any special skills or talents. And 42 per cent don't
spend any time talking about their grandparent's history -and are therefore clueless about what their grandmother
or grandad was like when they were younger. Perhaps due to this lack of communication and respect, just six
per cent of children say they look up to their grandparents as a role model and inspiration.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Have you ever felt that there aren't enough hours in the day? These days we have to do our jobs, look
after our homes, save energy to help the environment, and do exercise to stay healthy! Like many of us, Alex
Gadsden never had enough time. He ran a business and a home and needed to lose weight. So he decided to do
13
something about it. He invented the cycle washer. The 29-year-old now starts each day with a 45-minute cycle
ride. He not only feels healthier but he saves on his energy bills and does the washing too.
He said, "It gives the user a good workout. I've only used it for two weeks but I've already noticed a
difference." "I tend to get up at around six-thirty now and get straight on the cycle washer. I keep it in the
garden, so it's nice to get out in the fresh air. Afterwards, I feel full of energy. Then I generally have breakfast
and a shower and I really feel ready to start the day." The green washing machine uses 25 litres of water a wash,
and takes enough clothes to fill a carrier bag. He normally cycles for 25 minutes to wash the clothes, and then
for another 20 minutes to dry them. And it doesn't use any electricity, of course.
Mr Gadsden, the boss of a cleaning company, believes his machine could become very popular. With
an invention which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit and reduces your electricity bill, he may well be right.
