Reading comprehension: Passage 1: John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left their small flat for an old 40-metre- high castle tower. They have spent five years turning it into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes. ‘I love the space, and being private,' Elizabeth says. 'You feel separated from the world. If I'm in the kitchen, which is 25 metres above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings, I don't have to answer it because visitors can't see I'm in!' 'There are 142 steps to the top, so I go up and down five or six times a day, it's very good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Apart from that, it's a brilliant place to live.' 'When we first saw the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we couldn't decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look.' 'Living here can be difficult - yesterday I climbed a four-metre ladder to clean the windows.

They often seem to dislike being ed. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school. This is a normal development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them. Parents should do their best to talk to their sons or daughters about school work and future plan but should not push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol or smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual behaviour which may be connected with these and get help if necessary. 21. This passage is taken from a ___.

Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different American groups. The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American household are single people, usually women over sixty –five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the traditional one. 31.

Reading comprehension: Passage 1: Having a best friend to confide in can bring a positive effect on our emotional health. An evening out with the closest friend may be the best guarantee of a good time. In fact, our best friend can prevent us from developing serious psychological problems such as depression and anxiety. Best friendship evolves with time - we cannot go out and pick our best friend. We become friends with people who share common interests – at school or through hobbies, for example. Best friends have usually known each other for years and stuck together through good and bad times. If you haven't got one , perhaps you are being too distant from people, or focusing too much on your work. 16.

Passage 2: In the United States and Canada, it is very important to look a person directly in the eyes when you are having a conversation with him or her. If you look down or to the side when the other person is talking, that person will think that you are not interested in what he or she is saying. This, of course, is not polite. If you look down or to the side when you are talking, you may appear to be hiding something; that is, it might seem that you are not honest. However, people who are speaking will sometimes look away for a few seconds when they are thinking or trying to find the right word. But they always turn immediately back to look the listener directly in the eyes. These social “rules” are the same for two men, two women, a man and a woman, or an adult and a child. 21.

To make a reservation, just give your name, the number of people in your group, and the time you plan to arrive. When you invite someone to dinner, you should be prepared to pay the bill and reach for it when it arrives. However, if your companion insists on paying his or her share, do not get into argument about it. Some people prefer to pay their own way so that they do not feel indebted, and those feelings should be respected. In most American restaurants, the waiter or waitress’s tip is not added to the bill. If the service was adequate, it is customary to leave a tip equal to about 15% of the bill. In expensive restaurants, leave a bit more. 26.

Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other system and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings. 31. Which of the following best summarizes the passage? A. When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication. B. Everyone uses only one form of communication. C. Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners. D. Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest. 32. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. There are many forms of communication in existence today. B. Verbalization is the most common form of communication. C. The deaf, and the mute use an oral form of communication. D. Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by body language. 33. Which form other than oral speech would be the most communication used among blind people? A. picture signs B. Braille C. Body language D. Signal flags 34. How many different form of communication are mentioned here? A. 5 B. 7 C. 9 D. 11 35.

Passage 2: A Young Businessman Although he is only twelve, James Harries has his own antiques business and a flower shop. “He has a good eye for a bargain,” says his mother. “He was only 8 when he bought that for 5p.” She points to a China statuette worth $4,000. “James gets most of his stock of antiques from jumble sales.

Also I’ve got a special offer for wedding parties. I give them a Rolls-Royce for the day if they spend more than $100 on flowers.

Passage 3: Man and most animals need a constant supply of water to live. Farmers need water for their crops. Hydroelectric dams hold back needed water and provide water for homes and industries. Trees, grasses, and other plant life play an important part in the natural circulation of water, and thus help conserve it. Without plants most water would run off as soon as it falls, taking away valuable soil. Rapid runoff would cause frequent floods, and leave little water during dry seasons. Nature has many ways of conserving and controlling water. But man often upsets the water balance in his desire to grow more crops. He drains ponds, swamps, and wet lands. He plows under the natural soils, cuts timber, and dredges and straightens streams. These changes reduce natural storage of water and speed runoff. Water can be held on the land by planting vegetation. Forests and grass should be planted where there are no natural growths. Dams built across rivers help hold back the water. Reservoirs behind the dams store water during wet seasons for use in dry seasons. Dams help prevent floods by controlling the flow of water. Many town and cities get their water from nearby lakes and rivers. Some communities dump sewage and garbage into the water, making it unfit to drink. Water pollution is one of our most serious problems. Progressive cities have sewage treatment plants. These plants return only safe water to the streams or lakes. Many states have laws that prohibit companies from dumping raw industrial wastes, such as liquids from a metal-plating factory, into streams. These wastes often endanger the supply of drinking water. They also kill fish. Most industrial wastes can be treated to make them harmless. 26. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as part the natural circulation of water? A. Trees B. Plants C. Dams D. Grasses 27. According to the passage, what would happen if there were no plants? A. Valuable soil would be taken away B. Man would die C. There would be more floods D. Both A and C 28.

A. allowed B. not allowed C. not prohibited D. not punished Passage 4: A combination of sewage, salt, air pollution, sun, sand and wind may destroy the huge statue on the outskirts of Cairo.
