correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Costas Karageorghis, a sports psychologist, calls music "sport's legal drug." He says that exercising
with music can improve athletic performance by 15 percent. The music must be carefully chosen so that
the tempo or "beat" is synchronized with the exercise you are doing. According to Professor
Karageorghis, music also makes you feel less pain and makes an exercise session less boring and more
enjoyable.
Gym chain, Fitness First, recognizes the importance of music to workouts and plays music in all its
clubs. The most popular song for male gym members is Survivor's Eye of the Tiger, while women love
Abba's Dancing Queen. Music works well with weightlifting, and other repetitive actions, but it can also
help with running. The best example of this is Haile Gebreselassie, perhaps the world's greatest distance
runner, who used the techno-pop song Scatman as a metronome when he broke the world 2,000 meter
record.
But if music was so important to Gebreselassie, why do other top runners never race with headphones?
Karageorghis says "Research has shown that for most top athletes music is less effective. Elite athletes
focus more on their bodies, and less on outside stimuli like music." So although music can help amateur
runners run faster and further, most top athletes prefer silence.
(Adapted from American English File by Christina Latham-Koenig, Clive Oxeden and Paul Seligson)
Question 31. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Music Industry B. Top Runners Share their Secrets!
C. A Musician Loves Working out! D. Can Music really Make you Run Faster?
Question 32. The word ‘synchronized’ in paragraph 1 mostly means ________.
A. created in a new way B. made to happen at the same time
C. downloaded in vast numbers D. built inside a portable device
Question 33. According to paragraph 2, what is indicated about Fitness First?

A. It’s the largest gym chain in the country.
B. It’s the first gym club to introduce music lessons.
C. It’s aware of the usefulness of music to exercising.
D. It owns the copyright on the song Dancing Queen.
Question 34. The word ‘it’ in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. example B. music C. weightlifting D. running
Question 35. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A. Working out with music can enhance athletes’ performance by at least 15 %.
B. Survivor's Eye of the Tiger is the most favourite song among female gym members.
C. Music may have a negligible impact on top athletes.
D. Haile Gebreselassie is the composer of the techno-pop song Scatman.
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 from 36 to 42.
Human beings have struggled to defeat the ageing process for millennia. From olive leaves in ancient
Egypt to the alchemists' 'elixir of life', vast resources have been spent- and still are today - on tonics,
potions and vitamins in the attempt to stave off the ravages of the years. Now we know the secret. Quietly,
without fanfare, we are putting it to work. Life expectancy soared by 30 years in richer nations during the
20th century and shows no sign of slowing.
Leading economist Professor John Appleby cites the figures in the British Medical Journal and asks:
'Where will it all end?' That is an economist's question, but one that 18th century author Jonathan Swift
also wanted to answer. Gulliver's Travels features a race of humans, the Struldbrugs, who were normal in
all respects except one. Their immortality, instead of being a blessing, was a curse, because they continued
to age. 'At 90, they lose their teeth and hair; they have at that age no distinction of taste, but eat and drink
whatever they can get, without relish or appetite'. In a recent article, centenarian Walter James wrote a
poignant account of the deprivations of age. Though he still cooks and looks after himself, does the
crossword, enjoys a glass of whisky and can recall events from his past with clarity, what he cannot
recover are the sensations that accompanied the events.
Such observations are bound to make those younger wonder-is ageing, at the rate those of us fortunate
enough to live comfortable lives are achieving, something to be celebrated or feared? The pace of advance
is astonishing. As recently as 1980, scientists believed that age 85 would mark a natural limit for average
life expectancy. In Japan that barrier was passed for women in 2007. In the UK, average life expectancy
for both sexes born today is over 90.
What worries most people about ageing is losing their faculties and the ability to perform the daily
tasks of living - eating, dressing, bathing and getting around. The trends in this regard are worrying. The
good news is that despite increases in chronic conditions such as diabetes and arthritis, earlier diagnosis
and improved treatments have rendered these conditions less disabling.
One suggestion, proposed by Professor Kaare Christensen, of the Danish Ageing Research Centre, is
to extend working lives by shortening the working week. ‘The 20th century was a century of redistribution
of income’. Professor Christensen says. ‘The 21st century could be a century of redistribution of work.
Redistribution would spread work more evenly across populations and over the ages of life. Preliminary
evidence suggests that shortened working weeks over extended working lives might further contribute to
increases in life expectancy and health.’ Work till you are 100? Now that would deserve a celebratory
telegram. How many people would welcome this opportunity is quite another matter.
(Adapted from Ready for Advanced by Roy Norris, Amanda French with Miles Hordern)
Question 36. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Times Change B. Would you Want to Live to 100?
C. The Elixir of Life D. Longevity in the 21st Century
Question 37. The phrase ‘stave off’ in paragraph 1 mostly means _________.
A. foster B. redirect C. prevent D. compensate
Question 38. What does the writer suggest about getting older in the first paragraph?
A. Long life is no longer seen as remarkable.
B. There is no reason to celebrate getting older.
C. Life expectancy has increased beyond our expectations.
D. Staying youthful has always been something people desired.
Question 39. The word ‘they’ in paragraph 2 refers to __________.
A. features B. the Struldbrugs C. teeth D. respects
Question 40. The word ‘rendered’ in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. stopped B. created C. portrayed D. caused
Question 41. Which of the following is NOT mentioned, according to the passage?
A. ‘Gulliver's Travels’ is referred to show that eternal life isn’t necessarily a positive thing.
B. The writer seems to find that Walter James’ disconnection with emotion is moving.
C. Ageing has been typically portrayed in literature in the 18th century.
D. Japanese and British people have a very high life expectancy.
Question 42. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The fear that people have about ageing and the eventual reality is unfounded.
B. Some physical problems older people suffered in the past may disappear.
C. The writer sees no connection between the way income and work might be divided.
D. The writer is skeptical of Professor Christensen’s proposal regarding a person’s working life.
