Who talk more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more However,linguist Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, saysthat this is a stereotype According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in privatesituations, where they use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together But, shesays, men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to exchange informationand gain status Tannen points out that we can see these differences even in children Littlegirls often play with one “best friend”, their play includes a lot of conversation Little boysoften play games in groups; their play usually involves more doing than talking In school,girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics

A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference.Researchers studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents They foundevidence that parents talk very differently to their son than they do to their daughters Thestartling conclusion was that parents use more language with their girls Specifically, whenparents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details There isalso far more talk about emotions, especially sadness, with daughters than with sons

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

The Planets of Jupiter

The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times greater than Earth’s,contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined It is thought to be agaseous and fluid planet without solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter

might have attained internal temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear reactions,

and it would have flamed as a star in its own right Jupiter and the other giant planets are of a

low-density type quite distinct from the terrestrial planets: they are composed predominantly

of such substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike terrestrial planets.Much of Jupiter’s interior might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally,hydrogen is a gas, but under pressures of millions of kilograms per square centimeter, whichexist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquidwith the properties of a metal Some scientists believe that the innermost core of Jupiter might

be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth

Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours As a result, its clouds, which are composedlargely of frozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright

bands that circle the planet at different speeds in different latitudes Jupiter’s puzzling Great

Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the Southern Hemisphere Scientists speculate it might be

a gigantic hurricane, which because of its large size (the Earth could easily fit inside it), lastsfor hundreds of years

Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun Perhaps this is primeval heat or beat generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet Another star

like characteristic of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of theSolar System, decrease in density with distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icymoons farther away If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive, it would have become a star,Jupiter is the best-preserved sample of the early solar nebula, and with its satellites, mightcontain the most important clues about the origin of the Solar System

Question 45: The word attained in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.

Question 46: The word they in paragraph 1 refers to _.

A nuclear reactions B giant planets C terrestrial D substances Question 47: According to the passage, hydrogen can become a metallic-like liquid when it is

C similar atmospheres D metallic cores

Question 43 Which of the following statements can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A solid surfaces B similar masses C similar atmospheres D metallic cores Question 49: The clouds surrounding Jupiter are mostly composed of _.

Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that the appearance of alternating bands

circling Jupiter is caused by _

A the Great Red Spot

B heat from the Sun

C the planet’s fast rotation

D Storms from the planet’s Southern Hemisphere

Question 51: The author uses the word puzzling in paragraph 2 to suggest that the Great Red

Spot is _

A the only spot of its kind

B not well understood

C among the largest of such spots

D a problem for the planet’s continued existence

Question 52: Paragraph 3 supports which of the following conclusions?

A Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as the Sun.

B Jupiter has a weaker gravitational force than the other planets.

C Scientists believe that Jupiter was once a star.

D Scientists might learn about the beginning of the Solar System by Studying Jupiter Question 53: Why does the author mention primeval heat in paragraph 3?

A To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the Sun

B To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the other planets

C To suggest a possible explanation for the number of satellites that Jupiter has

D To suggest a possible source of the quantity of heat that Jupiter gives off

Question 54: Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?

A If Jupiter had fewer satellites, it would be easier for scientists to study the planet itself.

B If Jupiter had had more mass, it would have developed internal nuclear reactions.

C If Jupiter had been smaller, it would have become a terrestrial planet.

D if Jupiter were larger, it would give off much less heat.

Question 30: Hundred of scientists have been involved in the research.

Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburbs But people in the Australian outback

can’t get to a doctor quickly The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so theyhave to call him on a two-way radio This special doctor is called the “flying doctor” He visits sickpeople by plane for a special examination

When someone is sick, the doctor has to fly to the person’s home His plane lands on a flatpiece of ground near the person’s house Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital.Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year

However, most of the time the person isn’t very sick, and the doctor doesn’t have to visit Hecan give advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center He can tell the patient to use

some medicine from a special medicine chest There is one of these chests in every home in the

outback Eachbottle, tube and packet in the chest has a number The doctor often says something likethis, “Take two tablets from bottle number 5 every four hours.”

A man called John Flynn started the Royal Flying Doctor service in 1927 he had only oneplane Today there are 14 flying-doctor centers, 29 planes, 14 full-time doctors and several part-timedoctors, nurses and dentists

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 following questions.

Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it theability to do outstandingly well Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is

simply something a person is born with Others, however, argue that the potential for great

achievement can be develop The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes

It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase

a child’s ability to do well However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing

and opportunities As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.”

Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identicaltwins that were separated shortly birth and brought up by different parents They found thatachievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment

One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted One of the twins received a normalupbringing, and performed well The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportiveparents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities That twin, though starting outwith the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better

This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability The more favorable the

environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed However, there is no linkbetween intelligence and socioeconomic level of a child’s family In other words, it does not matterhow poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect the intelligence

Gifted people can not be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them.One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier thanordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability These musicians thenneeded at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable ofattaining

People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:

- Marry an intelligent person

- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents

- Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard

- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instrument is essential for achild who wants to become an outstanding musician

Question 55: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that .

A different twins generally have different levels of ability

B ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement

C intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability

D ability depends both on intelligence and environment

Question 56: Scientists chose twins for their study because .

A they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence

B they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing

C they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities

D each twin has the same environment as his/ her twin

Question 57: How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development?

A They practice playing their instruments for many years

B They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic

C They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas

D Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured

Question 58: The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow .

A only their interests in computer gamesB only their interests in musical instruments

C their own interests D their parents’ interests

Question 59: When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid .

A letting them play their own way B starting their education at an early age

C pushing their children too hard D permitting them to follow their own interests

Question 60: The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the

passage means that in order to become a genius,

A you need to have good health and good nourishment

B you need intelligence and you need to develop it

C you should try to move quickly and efficiently.

D you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard

Question 61: The word “favorable” in the passage mostly mean .

A “of high quality or an acceptable standard”

B “under the control or in the power of somebody else”

C “good for someone and making him/ her likely to be successful”

D “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to the other people”

Question 62: All of the following statements are true EXCEPT .

A a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents

B studying different twins is useful scientific procedure

C educational development depends completely on economic well-being

D to become successful, a child need both native intelligence and development

Question 63: The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires .

A parental support and encouragement B an expensive education

C wealthy and loving parents D good musical instruments

Question 64: The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to .

A other people B other scientists C other geniuses D other children

to be uneducated As Superintendent of Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848,

he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country

a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to theneed for a further strengthening ofthe system

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classicaland medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant

reading aloud Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.

One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because readingaloud was a distraction to others Examinations of factors related to the historical development ofsilent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly becausethe tasks themselves changed in character.

The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers Asthe number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was somereduction in the need to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so camethe flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages andoffices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers

Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should

be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such asnewspapers was in some way mentally weakening Indeed, this argument remains with us still ineducation However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced

by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other.
