II. 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 1-7
Antibiotics have been one of humanity’s success stories for hundreds of years, being responsible both for
saving the lives of millions of patients and for helping scientists to take enormous steps in the fields of medical
and surgical treatment. But this success has come at a price. The growing resistance of many bacterial strains to
the curative effects of antibiotics is such a concern that it has been referred to, in some quarters, as the greatest
threat to our continued existence on earth. We have become careless, it is argued, not only in our reliance on the
quick fix of medicine if we feel even slightly under the weather, but also in taking the availability of antibiotics
for granted, using them incorrectly, not following the prescribed dosage. This has given rise to a new form of
super-bacteria, a type which is able to fight off antibiotic treatment with ease.
Although their resistance to antibiotics has been built up over a long period of time, bacteria actually
replicate extraordinary quickly, and any resistance developed is also duplicated as they divide. In addition, those
bacteria carrying resistance genes happen to spread those genes further via ‘horizontal gene transfer’, a process
whereby one bacterium passes on the resistance gene from another without even needing to be its parent. What
makes the spread of these strains more difficult to control is that it occurs in a cyclical process. In the case of
humans, when a person becomes infected and the resistant bacteria set up home in the gut, the suffer has two
choices: look for help or stay at home. In seeking medical assistance, whether through an appointment to visit
their local doctor, or taking themselves to hospital, they contaminate other patients, later to be discharged and
sent home. The resistant bacteria then spread out into the local community. This is also the end result if the
infected person decides not to seek any medical assistance at all; they keep the bacteria at home and allow them
to breed without treatment.
As a race, humans have seen remarkable health benefits over the years as a huge number of illnesses
have been treated by antibiotics, but we now face a global emergency as antibiotic-resistant bacteria are
beginning to emerge more rapidly and frequently than ever before. Not only has this created a potential health
crisis, since we are increasingly unable to provide the sick with treatment as a result of worldwide overuse of
these drugs, but it is also unlikely to be tackled any time soon, as the powerful pharmaceutical companies are
primarily driven by profit and see little benefit in researching and creating new antibiotics. It simply does not
work on the balance sheet, and so it falls to governments and individuals around the world to find ways to
manage the crisis. Coordinating such efforts will be easy.

IV. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
There has always been a problem with teachers being from a different generation to their pupils, particularly
older educators. But the dominance of digital technology has spread that generation gap even wider, as young
people become conversant with mobile digital devices, games and social media that didn’t exist when their
teachers were growing up. Teachers now face pupils using devices and online systems that they don’t use
themselves, and don’t really understand either. The generation gap is more prevalent than ever, but teachers can
bridge that gap if they receive the right guidance with appropriate technology.
Some schools and teachers have particular trouble grasping the role of social media and mobile devices in
teenage life. They consider Facebook a threat and warn parents against it at parent- teacher evenings, without
realizing that preventing teenagers from using social media like this, or messaging apps such as Snapchat and
Instagram, is nearly impossible. Online social media and network gaming are now such an integral part of
teenage behavior that any attempt to prize the mobile devices out of the hands of young people is likely to widen
the generation gap rather than narrow it.
The generation gap in education isn’t just between pupils and teachers – it exists within the staffroom, too. A
teaching career can span more than 40 years, and those towards the end of their working life will not have grown
up with digital technology, whereas teaching staff in their 20s and 30s could well be “digital natives”.
Keeping up with the latest online trend is like a dog chasing its tail; every time you think you’ve caught up,
kids move on. However, it’s not beneficial to get fixated on how young people are using social networks that
are, in the case of Snapchat, hard for the older generation to understand. The key factor to consider is that
today’s school students now take for granted that a lot of their communication with their peers will be online,
and predominantly using smartphones and other mobile devices. Young people expect their educational
experience to be similarly interactive, and partially delivered via these kinds of devices.
Question 1: Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?
A. How to Bridge the Generation Gap Between Teachers and Students
B. The Generation Gap in Education
C. What Causes Difficulties for Teachers Nowadays?
D. The Technology Problems of Older Teachers
Question 2: The word “bridge” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. reduce B. connect C. form D. build
Question 3: According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Separating teenagers from the mobile devices can help to narrow the generation gap.
B. It’s unlikely to stop students from using social media.
C. Some teachers and schools don’t want their children to use social networks.
D. Social media and network gaming become an important part of the behavior of teenagers.
Question 4: The generation gap exists even in the staffroom mostly because ______________.
A. the teaching career span is too long to adapt new technology.
B. the older teachers are not as familiar with digital technology as the younger.
C. many young teachers prefer using digital devices to operating others.
D. the older teachers are less unaffected by the development of technology than the younger.
Question 5: According to the last paragraph, what is the main factor to consider in the generation gap between
teachers and students?
A. It’s hard for the older generation to understand the social networks used by the young.
B. Students are competing with the latest online trend with their peers
C. Teachers should use these social networks to provide education.
D. Students get accustomed to communicating with their friends online by smartphones and mobile devices.
Question 6: The word “they” in paragraph 1 refers to __________.
A. teachers B. pupils C. devices D. online systems

A. keeping on doing something futile B. moving around a circle

VII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, citizens of the United States maintained a
bias against big cities. Most lived on farms and in small towns and believed cities to be centers of
corruption, crime, poverty, and moral degradation. Their distrust was caused, in part, by a notional
ideology that proclaimed farming the greatest Occupation and rural living superior to urban living. This
attitude prevailed even as the number of urban dwellers increased and cities became an essential feature
of the notional landscape. Gradually, economic reality overcame ideology. Thousands abandoned the
precarious life on the farm for more secure and better paying jobs in the city. But when these people
migrated from the countryside, they carried their fears and suspicions with them. These new urban
population, already convinced that cities were overwhelmed with great problems, eagerly embraced the
progressive reforms that promised to bring order out of the chaos of the city.
One of many reforms came in the area of public utilities. Water and sewerage systems were
usually operated by municipal governments, but the gas and electric networks were privately owned.
Reformers feared that the privately owned utility companies would charge exorbitant rates for these
essential services and deliver them only to people who would afford them, some city and state
governments responded by regulating the utility companies, but a number of cities began to supply these
services themselves. Proponents of these reforms argued that public ownership and regulation would
insure widespread access to these utilities and guarantee a fair price.
While some reforms focused on government and public behavior, others looked at the cities as a
whole. Civic leaders, convinced that physical environment influenced human behavior, argued that cities
should develop master plans to guide their future growth and development. City planning was nothing
new, but the rapid industrialization and urban growth of the late nineteenth century took place without
any consideration for order. Urban renewal in the twentieth century followed several courses. Some
cities introduced plans to completely rebuild the city core. Most other cities contented themselves with
zoning plans for regulating future growth. Certain parts of town were restricted to residential use, while
others were set aside for industrial or commercial development.

D. wanted to move to the cities

A. participate in the urban reform movement C. comply with a government ordinance
