'A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right.' These are the words of Mollie Hunter, a well known author of books for youngsters. Born and bred near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market. In Mollie's opinion it is essential to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing: 'If you aren't telling a story,you're a very dead writer indeed,' she says.

With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Molly is indeed an entertainer. 'I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,' she says. This love goes back to early childhood. 'I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said "Nonsense Mollie dear, you'll be a writer." So eventually I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher - and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.

This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition and her struggle towards its achievement.

Thoughts of her childhood inevitably brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields - sadly now covered with modern houses. 'I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I'll never go back,' she said. 'Never.' 'When I set one of my books in Scotland,' she said, 'I can recapture my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that's important, because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us.

To this day, Mollie has a lively affection for children, which is reflected in the love she has for her writing. 'When we have visitors with children the adults always say, "If you go to visit Mollie, she'll spend more time with the children." They don't realise that children are much more interesting company. I've heard all the adults have to say before. The children have something new.'

Question 28. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?

A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.

B. It should be attractive to young readers. 

C. It should be based on original ideas.

D. It should not include too much conversation.

Question 29. In Mollie Hunter’s opinion, one sign of a poor writer is:

A. lifeless characters

B. complicated ideas

C. the weakness of the description 

D. the absence of a story 

Question 30. What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a very young child?

A She didn’t expect to become a writer. 

B. She didn’t enjoy writing stories.

C She didn’t have any particular ambitions. 

D. She didn’t respect her teacher’s views.

Question 31. What does 'its' refer to in paragraph 3?

A. novel                      B. picture

C. ambition                 D. struggle

Question 32. How does Mollie feel about what has happened to her birthplace?

A. confused                B. ashamed

C. disappointed          D. surprised

Question 33. In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that modern children are:

A. more intelligent 

B. better informed

C. less keen to learn  

D. less interested in fiction

Question 34. Mollie’s adult visitors generally discover that ________

A. she is a very generous person

B. she is interesting company

C. she talks a lot about her work

D. she pays more attention to their children

Question 35. What is the writer’s purpose in this text?

A. to describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books        

B. to share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s books

C. to provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers

D. to introduce Mollie Hunter’s work to a wider audience

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.

Writing is arguably the most important invention in human history. The opportunity for human knowledge to build on other knowledge is severely limited without the medium of writing. Not only does writing allow a permanence to human thought but also a complexity and scope to human expression that seem barely possible without it.

The earliest known artifacts that could be considered writing by the loosest  definition are the famous and extraordinarily beautiful 20,000-year-old "cave  paintings" in southern France and northern Spain. The pictures, mostly of animals but with some human figures, possibly tell some sort of story or may merely be pictures with expressive, magical, or religious purpose. Other assorted pictures have been found antedating the rise of the great civilizations of the Near East, but the earliest artifacts that are clearly writing date from about only 5,500 years ago inMesopotamia.

The earliest system of writing is usually attributed to the Sumerians of Mesopotamia during the end of the fourth millennium b.c. There, officials of such Sumerian city-states as Uruk had developed a system of recording numerals, pictographs, and ideographs on specially prepared clay surfaces.

Although the clay blanks used by the Uruk scribes are universally referred to as tablets, a word with the connotation of flatness, they are actually convex. Individual characters were inscribed in the clay by means of a stylus made of wood, bone, or ivory, with one end blunt and the other pointed. The characters were basically of two kinds. Numerical signs were impressed into the clay; all other signs, pictographs, and ideographs alike, were incised with the pointed end of the stylus. The repertory of characters used by the Uruk scribes was large; it is estimated at no fewer than 1,500 separate signs.

Giorgio Stabile, a science professor at La Sapienza University, claims to have stumbled on the earliest known example of the symbol's use, as  a(n) (24) ________ of a measure of weight or volume.

The professor unearthed toe ancient symbol in the course of research for a visual history of the  20th  century, to be published by the Treccani Encyclopedia. The first (25) __________ instance of its use, he says, occurred in a letter written by a Florentine merchant on May 4, 1536. He says the sign made its way along trade routes to northern Europe, where it came to represent 'at the price of’, its contemporary accountancy meaning.

Professor Stabile believes that Italian banks may possess even earlier  documents (26) __________ the symbol lying forgotten in their archives. The oldest example could be of great value.

A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core. The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface.

The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake.

The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands   upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas. The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this.

Question 28: What is true of Lake Vostok?

A. It is completely frozen. 

B. It is a saltwater lake.

C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice.  

D. It is heated by the sun.

Question 29: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it        .

A. was conducted by air  

B. made use of radio waves

C. could not determine the lake's exact size 

D. was controlled by a satellite

Question 30: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if     .

A. there were no lake underneath

B. the lake were not so big

C. Antarctica were not so cold 

D. radio waves were not used

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Matthew Youlden speaks nine languages fluently and understands more than a dozen more. Below is his advice for those who have been struggling to merely pick up a second language.

First, know why you’re doing it. If you don’t have a good reason to learn a language, you are less likely to stay motivated over the long-run. No matter your reason, once you’ve decided on a language, it’s crucial to commit: “OK, I want to learn this and I’m therefore going to do as much as I can in this language, with this language and for this language.”

Second, find a partner. Matthew learned several languages together with his twin brother Michael. Matthew and Michael gained their superpowers from good- old, healthy sibling rivalry: “We were very motivated, and we still are. We push each other to really go for it. So if he realizes that I’m doing more than he is he’ll get a bit jealous and then try and outdo me - and the other way round.”

Having any kind of partner will push both of you to always try just a little bit harder and stay with it: “I think it’s a really great way of actually going about it. You have someone with whom you can speak, and that’s the idea behind learning a language.”

Third, talk to yourself. When you have no one else to speak to, there’s nothing wrong with talking to yourself: “It might sound really weird, but actually | speaking to yourself in a language is a great way to practice if you’re not able to use it all the time.” This can keep new words and phrases fresh in your mind and build up your confidence for the next time you speak with someone.

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.

Family life in the United States is changing. Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a "housewife". She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.

These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?

Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.

Then there is a question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents often are too far away to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysister or a day-care center. The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.

Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for. Many companies now let people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Some husbands may even stop working for a while  to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word: They are called "househusband". In the United States more and more men are becoming househusband every year.

These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.

Question 8. These changes in the Amercan home may …………..

A. not happen

B. not change the children at all

C. help families 

D. cause problems for a marriage

Question 9.  It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that ………...

A. couples with low-paid jobs can’t afford the cost of a babysitter or a day-care center.

B. in the past, grandparents did not help the couples with child care.

C. all couples with jobs can pay for help from a babysitter or a day-care center.

D. grandparents can help care the children in a regular way.

Question 10. Forty years ago, most women …………..

A. had no children 

B. were housewives

C. went out to work

D. did not do much housework

Question 11. Nowadays there are ………….

A. more and more women staying with the children all day

B. more work outside the home than before

C. more housewives than before.

D. more women going out to work than before.

Question 12. This article is about …………..

A. how more American women are working

B. how family life in America is changing

Early peoples had no need of engineering works to supply their water. Hunters and nomads camped near natural sources of fresh water, and populations were so sparse that pollution of the water supply was not a serious problem. After community life developed and agricultural villages became urban centres, the problem of supplying water became important for inhabitants of a city, as well as for irrigation of the farms surrounding the city. Irrigation works were known in prehistoric times, and before 2000 BC the rulers of Babylonia and Egypt constructed systems of dams and canals to impound the flood waters of the Euphrates and Nile rivers, controlling floods and providing irrigation water throughout the dry season. Such irrigation canals also supplied water for domestic purposes. The first people to consider the sanitation of their water supply were the ancient Romans, who constructed a vast system of aqueducts to bring the clean waters of the Apennine Mountains into the city and built basins and filters along these mains to ensure the clarity of the water. The construction of such extensive water-supply systems declined when the Roman Empire disintegrated, and for several centuries local springs and wells formed the main source of domestic and industrial water.

The invention of the force pump in England in the middle of the 16th century greatly extended the possibilities of development of water-supply systems. In London, the first pumping waterworks was completed in 1562; it pumped river water to a reservoir about 37 m above the level of the River Thames and from the reservoir the water was distributed by gravity, through lead pipes, to buildings in the vicinity.

Increased per-capita demand has coincided with water shortages in many countries. Southeast England, for example, receives only 14 per cent of Britain's rainfall, has 30 per cent of its population, and has experienced declining winter rainfall since the 1980s.

In recent years a great deal of interest has been shown in the conversion of seawater to fresh water to provide drinking water for very dry areas, such as the Middle East. Several different processes, including distillation, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, and direct-freeze evaporation, have been developed for this purpose. Some of these processes have been used in large facilities in the United States. Although these processes are successful, the cost of treating seawater is much higher than that for treating fresh water.

A. Water was pumped from the River Thames.

B. Water was stored in a reservoir.

D. Water ran from the reservoir to buildings.

Question 29. Early peoples didn’t need water supply engineering works because ……….

A. they had good ways to irrigate their farms

B. their community life had already developed

C. there was almost no dry season in prehistoric times

D. natural sources of fresh water nearby were always available
