Part 3: Reading
Read the passages below and choose the correct answer among A, B, C or D.
Australia is a big country, but nearly all Australians live near the sea. On hot summer days you can see thousands of people at the beach. Many beaches have waves that are very high. These large waves are known as surf and the people who ride them are called surfers. Surfing is a skill and needs learning. Don't expect to be able to surf properly the first time you try. However, by practicing a few times you will learn how to do it.
Surfing is not a new sport. Perhaps its origins need explaining. It started hundreds of years ago in Hawaii. Men swam out to sea to catch fish and found they could come back to land very quickly by riding the waves. These first surfers did not use a board. They were "body surfers". Many people still do this type of surfing today.
After a while, people started to use boards and rode the waves by lying, kneeling or standing on them. These first surfboards were made of wood and the water made them not after a while. Today surfboards are made of plastic or fiberglass instead.
36. Surf is....
A. waves that are on the high sea B. waves breaking on the ship
C. high waves breaking n the seashore D. high and small waves
37. Surfing is a skill and therefore....
A. it is not easy to do it B. it is impossible to practice it
C. it is dangerous to do it D. it needs practice from day to day
38. Surfing started....
A. five decades ago in Hawaii B. hundreds of years ago in Australia
C. long ago in Australia D. in Hawaii
39. Men of long ago did surfing by....
A. using their bodies B. using a board
C. using fishing boats D. riding the waves on water skis
40. At first men did surfing....
A. because it was an interesting sport
B. because it was a quick way to come back to land after catching fish
C. because the fishermen wanted to keep fit.
D. because there wasn't any board at that time.
The influence of Alexander graham bell
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone and became a very famous man. He also wrote an article which he presented in 1883. His research paper was about deaf people.
In his article, Dr. Bell explained why there were so many deaf children. He believed that when deaf adults married each other, they would have ... (41) ... children. He thought that this was bad. Bell blamed the schools for the deaf for causing marriages between deaf people. He did not like the idea of these intermarriages and tried to think of ways to ... (42) ... them. He would have preferred that deaf children be taught at hearing schools. He did not ... (43) ... schools or the deaf. Bell felt that deaf people would not mix with hearing people if they went to ... (44) ... schools.
Bell was ... (45) ... about other things, too. He noticed that deaf people socialized with other deaf people. He felt that socializing with other deaf people was bad. Deaf people should socialize with hearing people, he thought. bell tried to start a new law that would make it illegal for deaf people to marry each other. He ... (46) ... up his idea when he realized that such a law could not be enforced.
Bell also had strong feelings about the ... (47) ... of deaf children. He wanted deaf children to be with hearing children in school. He thought that the deaf children could learn normal behavior from the hearing children. Bell was against the use of deaf teachers, too, because he thought this added to the ... (48) ... of a deaf "race" in America.
Bell had another theory, which he never proved. He believed that deaf children who signed would not have good English ... (49) .... He could never prove this, and now many people have tried to prove the opposite! A lot of new research shows that many deaf children whose parents sign (and are deaf) do ... (50) ... schoolwork than deaf children who do not sign at home!

Captioned television
By the 1950s many American families owned television sets. During television's first 20 years, deaf people ... (41) ... most of the fun. They could not hear what was being said and had to guess.
Deaf people who watched television liked sports and action shows, but they were disappointed with ... (42) ... programs. If there was a lot of dialogue, deaf viewers couldn't follow the plot. Even the most skilled lip readers could only catch part of the talking. This frustrated many deaf people.
In the late 1960s, a man started experimenting. Malcolm Norwood thought that deaf people could ... (43) ... television programs, too. He wanted to develop captions for the programs. Norwood worked for the federal government's Media Services and Captioned Films Division at the Bureau of Education of the Handicapped.
Norwood surveyed many hearing Americans. He wanted to see how they felt about seeing captions on the television screen. Too many people were against the ... (44) .... Norwood realized he had to develop another way of captioning - one that would not ... (45) ... hearing people.
In October of 1971, Norwood's ... (46) ... signed a contract with WGBH-TV, a public television station in Boston. WGBH was hired to experiment with captions. They agreed to ... (47) ... a captioned television program for Norwood. That program was made. It was shown on television and at a special convention.
The type of captions made by WGBH could be ... (48) ... on any television. No special equipment was needed. These were called "open captions".
Later, a new machine was invented. This device was made to send signals on a special part of the television picture. The signals could be captions. If a family had another kind of machine in their home or in their TV set, then the captions (or signals) would ... (49) ... on their television screen. Without the machine, no captions would be seen. That special machine is called a decoder. It receives the signals transmitted from the television station. Captions that ... (50) ... a decoder are called "closed captions".

Part 3: Reading
Read the passages below and choose the correct answer among A, B, C or D.
Every second, 1 hectare of the world's rainforest is destroyed. That' equivalent to two football fields. An area the size of New York City is lost every day. In a year, that adds up to 31 million hectares - more than the land area of Poland. This alarming rate of destruction has serious consequences for the environment; scientist estimate, for example, that 137 species of plant, insect or animal become extinct every day due to logging. In British Columbia, where, since 1990, thirteen rainforest valleys have been clear-cut, 142 species of salmon have already become extinct, and the habitats on grizzly bears, wolves and many other creatures are threatened. Logging, however, provides jobs, profits, taxes for the government and cheap products of all kinds for consumers, so the government is reluctant to restrict or control it.
Much of Canada's forestry production goes towards making pulp and paper. According to the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, Canada supplies 34% of the world's wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper. If these paper products could be produced in some other way, Canadian forests could be preserved. Recently, a possible alternative way of producing paper has been suggested by agriculturalists and environmentalists: a plant called hemp.
Hemp has been cultivated by many cultures for thousands of yours. It produces fiber, which can be made into paper, fuel, oils, textiles, food, and rope. For centuries, it was essential to the economies of many countries because it was used to make the ropes and cables used on sailing ships; colonial expansion and the establishment of a world-wide trading network would not have been feasible without hemp. Nowadays, ships' cables are usually made from wire or synthetic fibers, but scientists are now suggesting that the cultivation of hemp should be revived for the production of paper and pulp. According to its proponents, four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees, and many environmentalists believe that the large-scale cultivation of hemp could reduce the pressure on Canada's forests.
36. How long does it take for 100 hectares of rainforest to be destroyed?
A. less than two minutes B. about an hour C. two hours D. a day
37. Why is pulp and paper production important to Canada?
A. Canada needs to find a way to use all its spare wood.
B. Canada publishes a lot of newspapers and books.
C. Pulp and paper export is a major source of income for Canada.
D. Producing paper is the only industry in Canada.
38. Who is suggesting that pulp and paper could be produced without cutting down trees?
A. the logging industry B. the government
C. the environmental lobby D. the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association
39. Why was the plant hemp essential to world-wide trade in the past?
A. Ships' ropes were made from it B. Hemp was a very profitable export
C. Hemp was used as fuel for ships D. Hemp was used as food for sailors.
40. Why do agriculturalists think that hemp would be better for paper production than trees?
A. It is cheaper to grow hemp than to cut down trees.
B. More paper can be produced from the same area of land.
C. Hemp produces higher quality paper.

Benjamin Franklin
Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after it began, and dying ten years before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements into a nation, and he also contributed much to the development of the new state.
At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. he had already received some training as a printer's apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first publication, the Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do government printing work, which helped him to rise from his poor background to become a successful entrepreneur. Some of his experience in business was hired in his famous Poor Richard's Almanac, which established his reputation throughout the American colonies. In another of his works, the Autobiography, which was written toward the end of his life, he shows the same quiet common sense.
He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with electricity and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in improving the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical society, and - because he was a pragmatic man - a fire prevention service. In 1753, he became Postmaster - General of the colonies. Through this experience he began to develop the idea that the colonies of North American should be a single nation. Later, he went to London to try to persuade the British government to change the conditions, especially the taxes, that latter led the American colonists into rebellion.
Whatever Benjamin Franklin's personal feeling about the rebellion of the American states, he worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to help George Washington. After the war he attended the American constitutional congress. This was his last contribution, for he died later that year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the creators of the United States.

America Online
America Online is one of the big names on the internet, and unlike many other digital companies, it actually makes a profit. But the company which its rivals call the "Cyber- cockroach" was launched only in 1992. Before that it was a small firm called Control Video Corporation and it made video games. The Steve Case, a former Pizza Hut marketing executive arrived and took the company online. Innovative, fast moving, and user-friendly, America Online appeals to people who want to surf the internet, but who do not have a lot of experience. For the same reason "techies", people who think they are more expert with computers, look down on America Online and its users. Recently America Online (or AOL, as it calls itself) joined with Time Warner - a multi-million-dollar movie and magazine company - to create a multimedia giant.
Now, AOL has begun to expand abroad. In many European countries, including the United Kingdom, it is hard to buy a computer magazine that does not have a free AOL introductory offer. The company also puts advertisements onto the television, and employs people to hand out its free introductory disks at places like train stations. As the interest gets faster AOL is changing. With many homes getting high-speed connections through fiber optic cables or the new ADSL technology, the "Cyber-cockroach" will have to show that, like real cockroaches, it can survive in almost any environment.

C. It makes money D. It has joined with another

Communications
Many years ago, near the beginning of this century, when the mayor of Boston was shown a telephone for the first time, he was so impressed that he declared: "In fifty years there will be one of these in every American city!".
Others predicted that the telephone would make writing, to friends at least, unnecessary because instant person-to-person communication would be possible. Typically, they also predicted the end of postal services altogether and the death of the skill of letter writing. The advantages of the telephone over sending a letter were so obvious, it was felt, that nothing could stop this process.
Both these predictions proved to be wrong in their own ways, of course, but there is no doubt that our habits did change with the arrival of the telephone and will change again as new media come into use.
On the plus side, the telephone has two obvious advantages. Firstly, it frees us from the difficulties of writing formal letters. We wouldn't have to remember when to use "Dear Sir", and when to finish with "Yours sincerely", "Yours faithfully" or "Yours truly", where to put the address and date or to learn all the other rules of formal letter writing.
Secondly, the telephone allowed us to get our message across in real time, without having to wait days, and, in the case of some international mail, weeks, for a reply.
Simultaneously, then, the telephone freed us from restrictions of both style and time. However, the use of the telephone also has disadvantages and there are many times when writing a letter is preferable to making a call.
In the first place, a telephone call is almost always disturbing. The ringing of the telephone always interrupts something, even if it is a welcome interruption, so almost all calls begin rather apologetically.
Letters from friends, on the other hand, are almost always welcome and can't interrupt anything because we can read them when we choose to read them and respond if and when we like. Unlike telephone conversations, too, we can also re-read them of course and choose not to respond at all if we don't want to. In addition, when writing a letter, you can organize your thoughts more carefully and say what you really want to say without having to "think on your feet" and running the risk of saying the wrong thing.
In addition to the phone and the postal service now, of course, we have electronic mail- e-mail - which seems to combine the advantages of both letters writing and using the telephone.
We can compose e-mail - which seems to combine the advantages of both letters writing and using the telephone.
We can compose e-mail messages cautiously and slowly, making sure that we choose our words with care and we can read and re-read them just as carefully before responding. In these ways, sending an e-mail message is just like sending a letter but even easier because we can use much less formal language and we don't have to buy a stamp or leave the house to post it. However, unlike old-fashioned letters, e-mail messages are usually delivered virtually instantly, just like using the telephone.
36. The mayor of Boston's prediction was wrong because he thought....
A. that letter-writing would die out
B. the telephone would be very fast to spread
C. there would be more telephones than there are.
D. that telephones would not be in private homes.
37. One disadvantage of writing formal letters is that....
A. we need to buy a stamp for them B. we can't really get our message across
C. they are very slow
D. we have to remember lots of rules about how to write them
38. Telephone are disturbing because....
A. we don’t know when they are going to ring
B. they always ring unexpectedly
C. we have to apologize when we speak.
D. they always interrupt something.
39. Letters are sometimes better than making telephone calls because....
A. we don’t have to think quickly B. we have to respond carefully
C. they are more carefully written D. they are always welcome
40. Sending an e-mail message if....
A. easier than writing a letter B. quicker than telephoning
C. just the same as writing a letter D. quicker than writing a letter

Part 3: Reading
Read the passages below and choose the correct answer among A, B, C or D.
Pure science and applied science
Many of the latest scientific accomplishments fall in the realm of "pure" science. This is research for the sake of increasing man's knowledge without concern about how the knowledge is going to be used. I contrast with pure science is "applied" science. The production of synthetic diamonds is an example of applied science. In applied science, the facts and principles of pure science are used in the solution of a problem, which has or will have immediate economic and social importance.
Often in the past, applied science has gone far ahead of pure science. Its practical applications have been used for man's good even before the basic facts and principles were understood. For example, the telegraph, telephone and electric motor, which could not work without electrons, were invented before man discovered the electron. People were vaccinated long before viruses were investigated. Chemicals like sulphuric acid and soda were manufactured before man began to understand the nature of the atom. Today, however, if applied science is to grow it must depend more and more on increased knowledge of pure science.
36. The aim of the pure science is....
A. to promote the production of pure chemicals.
B. to solve practical problems of everyday
C. to develop human knowledge of the general principles of science.
D. to apply scientific facts to the invention of electronic devices.
37. Applied science has....
A. made our life more comfortable with understanding of basic scientific theories.
B. made our lives more enjoyable with the production of everything we need.
C. given us the basic facts and principles of science.
D. helped us to research for the sake of increasing man's knowledge.
38. In the past, applied science went far ahead of pure science because....
A. pure science has been discovered only in recent years.
B. men understood the basic facts and principles of pure science before they discovered and invented things.
C. pure science had been considered less important than applied science.
D. many inventions and discoveries had been made before men knew the basic scientific theories.
39. The fact that vaccination had been practiced long before the investigation of viruses means....
A. people devoted a lot of time to the study of pure science.
B. applied science went far ahead of pure science.
C. pure science went far ahead of applied science
D. pure science went far ahead of applied science.
40. If applied science is to develop more efficiently,....
A. its practical applications must be used for man's good
B. people must devote more time to the study of the neutron and atomic energy.
C. it must rely on the increasing knowledge of pure science.
D. people must solve problems of immediate economic and social importance.

Part 3: Reading

The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions many communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes.
Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale and coal tars. But to date, that process has proven expensive other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth is also being tested.
Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the US, but today it supplies only 4 percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.

Should Gallaudet permit students to keep pets in their dorm rooms? Why or why not?

These working dogs provide services that benefit their student owners. But other kinds of pets can be ... (42) ... to students too. Pets should be allowed to live in the dorms because they can help students reduce stress and learn responsibility.
College life is very demanding and students often feel a lot of pressure and tension. Pets could help students relieve ... (43) ... in many ways. For example, playing with pets could give students a study break. Walking a dog or playing with a cat would allow the students to relax their body and mind.

Talking about problems helps students figure out ... (46) .... Pets would have a positive ... (47) ... on the stress of college life.
College is also a time when students need to learn to be responsible. Caring for pets could help students learn ... (48) ... in several ways. For example, pets need to be fed and watered on a regular schedule. Some pets also need to be taken out while others need their litter box or cage cleaned. Students would learn to schedule time for these chores between their classes and activities. New students are often used to having their parents do things for them. But parents do not live on college campuses with their children. Therefore, caring for a pet is something students would have to do ... (49) .... They would learn how to solve problems on their own and how to follow through with their commitments. Having pets would teach students to handle more adult responsibilities.
In conclusion. living with pets would offer many ... (50) ... to Gallaudet University's students. Pets would help students reduce stress and learn adult responsibility. I believe that Gallaudet should consider changing its policies to allow students to keep pets in their dorm rooms.
