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

A. never have any B. have more C. have a lot of D. have fewer

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
Question 2. The phrase “get rid of” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______
A. remove B. create C. keep D. make

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.
Question 1.Which of the following is a good title for the passage?
A. Advantages of part-time jobs
B. Advantages and disadvantages of part-time jobs
C. Disadvantages of part time jobs to teenagers
D. Stress of teenagers’ schoolwork
Question 2. According to the passage, what is NOT the benefit of doing part-time jobs?
A. learning useful skills B. spending money foolishly
C. coping with job stress D. keeping a sensible schedule

A. benefits B. students C. skills D. stressful jobs

police work
