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

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, says that this is a stereotype According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations, where they use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together But, she says, men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status Tannen points out that we can see these differences even in children Little girls often play with one “best friend”, their play includes a lot of conversation Little boys often 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 found evidence that parents talk very differently to their son than they do to their daughters The startling conclusion was that parents use more language with their girls Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details There is also 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 a gaseous 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, which exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquid with 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 composed largely 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), lasts for 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 the Solar System, decrease in density with distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons 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, might contain 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

A extremely hot B combined with helium

C similar atmospheres D metallic cores

Question 48: According to the passage, some scientists believe Jupiter and Earth are similar in that they both have _

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

Read the passage and choose one word or phrase marked A, B, C or D that best fits each of the gaps:

When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently come across words you

When you come across unknown words in an exam text, it is very easy to panic However, if you develop efficient techniques for guessing the meaning, you will (63) a number of possible problems and help yourself to understand far more of the text than you at first thought likely

Two strategies which may help you guess the meaning of a word are: using contextual clues, both within the sentence and outside, and making use of clues (64) from the formation of the word

Model

Conservation concerns men’s safeguarding and preservation of natural resources and his responsibility for improving the environmental conditions in which he lives An important task

of conservation is the prevention of waste – waste of forests, soil, minerals, wildlife and human life Trees help to preserve land because their roots bind the soil and retain water Without trees, heavy rains will cause soil erosion Forest conservation also means the prevention of bush fires and the attention to planting and looking after new, young trees Not only should man preserve forests but he should also realize the importance of wildlife protection Unless governments have a good system of control or pass laws restricting the hunting, eradicating of rare animals and plants, they slowly disappear Natural resources such as coal, gas and mineral ores are limited but the need for them is growing day by day Therefore, man should use them widely on the one hand, and look for alternative fuels on the other hand
