You may think you are really good at using the English language. This may be so, but you still
need to practice. To use any language well, you have to practice listening, speaking, reading, and
writing. Most students read and write in class. Those are both taught in school, so you practice
reading and writing often. You might think you speak well. You may. Still, you may not always
say things in a way that helps people understand what you mean. Think about what you will say
before you speak out loud in class. When you talk in front of the class, use a nice, loud voice so
that everyone in the class can hear you.

After you've finished reading a book, you've probably prepared a summary. You may have told
about the characters. You probably told about how a problem was solved. But did you know that
summarizing is not just for stories? You can use your summarizing skills to improve your
preparation in all subjects. Some students have a hard time with science and social studies

textbooks, keep a notebook with lined paper close to you. Most textbooks are divided into sections

Exercise 51: Read the passage carefully and choose A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answers to
the questions
Cause and effect is one way to explain things that happen around us. Many things happen
because something caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause
and figure out the effect. It may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning skills.
Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see.
For example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. This is the effect. To look for a
cause, think to yourself, “What would make someone put on a heavy jacket?” Maybe the person
is going outside into very cold weather. Maybe the person works in the penguin pen at Sea World.
Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold. All of these
things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.
Now, think about another example. The effect is that the student had to go to the principal’s
office. What are the possible causes? Maybe the student bullied another student. Maybe the
student is just being picked on early. Maybe the student is being given a prize!
Question 1. According to the second paragraph, which of the following is an effect?
A. Someone will go outside into cold weather. B. Someone works in the penguin pen.

Saving energy doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming. But what can you do to save
energy? There are a lot of ways that you can do to help the process of energy conservation. You
can save energy by following these simple rules: making sure that the kettle does not contain
more water than needed; always washing a full load in the washing machine rather than a half load
or turning down your central heating by 1°C – this could cut your heating bill by 10%; being sure
that hot water taps are not left running and replacing washers if your taps drip; turning off any
lights and your computer at work if you are not using them; changing to energy-saving light bulbs
which use around a quarter of the electricity of standard bulbs and will last eight times longer;
closing your curtains at dusk to keep the warm air from escaping through the windows; and
switching off electrical appliances when they are not in use.
54. 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.
Fathers used to act as the “breadwinner” of their family and as the teacher of moral and religious
values. Today, however, those roles are gradually changing.
More and more women are going out to work and earn money. This increases the budget of the
family. Apart from that, there are various social welfare programmes which financially assist
mothers in supporting their children. Both these changes have greatly impacted the role of fathers
because they make paternal financial support less essential for many families.
With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father's role,
modern fathers tend to be more involved in children's caregiving. They are now spending more
time and energy on their children.
Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the influence of
a father's love and attention is as great as that of a mother's. Fatherly love helps children develop a
sense of their place in the world, which helps their social and emotional development. Moreover,
children who receive more love from their fathers are less likely to have behavioral problems.
This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in the future, especially
in traditionally male-dominated societies.
Question 1. Which of these is NOT the traditional role of a father?
A. caregiver B. teacher of moral values
C. financial supporter D. religious educator
Question 2. The influence of a mother's love is _____ that of the father's.
A. more important than B. as important as
C. less important than D. much greater than
Question 3. The word "who" in paragraph 4 refers to ______.
A. children B. mothers C. development D. fathers
Question 4. Social welfare programmes ______.
A. help mothers with domestic abuse B. support families financially
C. train caregivers D. educate fathers about their responsibilities
Question 5. Children who get more fatherly love will ______ behavioral problems.
A. never have any B. have more C. have a lot of D. have fewer

questions.
Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, U.S, is in the central part of the state, on the Santa Fe River,
which flows into the Rio Grande 35 kilometers west of the city. More than two thousand meters
above sea level, it lies in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with the Ortiz Mountains to the
southeast. Santa Fe was founded in 1609 by the Spanish on an old Indian village. In 1680 the
Indians seized the place but only held it for twelve years before the Spanish retook it. The city
remained under Spanish rule until Mexico won its independence in 1821. From then on, it was a
Mexican city until 1846 when it was taken over by the American troops. With a population of
49,000, Santa Fe is now the second largest city in the state. Because of its sunny weather, rich
history and surrounding mountains, it is a good place for holiday makers. Besides hunting and
skating in the mountains people enjoy shopping in the Indian and Spanish shops, which brings a
large income to the city every year. In summer there is an international opera season when operas
are shown in a partly roofed, open-air theater daily for people from all over the world.

57. 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
Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago from
parts of plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas. We are using up these things
so fast that the Earth’s supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are investigating new
ideas for making plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and flax.
Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the planet. Some plastics can last
for a long time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of when they are not needed.
They can remain in rubbish dumps called landfill sites for hundreds of years. Landfills can be
smelly, ugly, and harmful to our planet.
Recycling is a good way to get rid of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can be used
again to make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled
in different ways. Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things such
as bags and bottles. Others can be made into fibres (strands of material) for clothing.
Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping rather than plastic
ones. A lot of plastic objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather
than throwing them away once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys can
be sold or given away to charity shops.
Question 1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Plastic: Effects and solutions to the problem B. Plastic: history and its usefulness
C. The ways to reduce the harm of plastic D. Materials that plastic is made of

because _________
A. they are dangerous to marine life
B. they are very useful for people
C. plastics can remain for a long time without decomposing
D. people reuse plastic objects before recycling them
Question 4. The word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to________
A. objects B. canvas bags C. toys D. plastic bottles
58. 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
More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs in the evenings, on
weekends or in summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great advantages.
One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be useful for the rest of
their lives. When they work, they have to manage both the job and schoolwork. To be able to do
so, they must be very organized and able to keep a sensible schedule. They also learn to cope with
the job stress apart from the stress of the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs include
teaching, nursing, and police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for their later careers.
High school students who work are more likely to succeed as adults than people who enter the job
market at a later age with no work experience.
Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, trips with their friends, etc. Not all
parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens might not really appreciate that money
because they did not earn it. When teenagers make money for themselves, they know its true
value and are less likely to spend it foolishly.
