Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace. One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character. The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers. As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers. 4 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 as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. 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. By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied. 51. Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because ______. A. people relied on reading for entertainment B. silent reading had not been discovered C. there were few places available for private reading D. few people could read to themselves 52. The word “commonplace” in the first paragraph mostly means “______”. A. for everybody’s use B. most preferable C. attracting attention D. widely used 53. The development of silent reading during the last century indicated ______. A. an increase in the average age of readers B. an increase in the number of books C. a change in the nature of reading D. a change in the status of literate people 54. Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of ______. A. the decreasing need to read aloud B. the development of libraries C. the increase in literacy D. the decreasing number of listeners 55. It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading materials was an indication of ______. A. a decline of standards of literacy B. a change in the readers’ interest C. an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes D. an improvement of printing techniques 56. The phrase “a specialised readership” in paragraph 4 mostly means “______”. A. a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge B. a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge C. a reading volume for particular professionals D. a status for readers specialised in mass media 57. The phrase “oral reader” in the last paragraph mostly means “a person who ______”. A. is good at public speaking B. practises reading to an audience C. takes part in an audition D. is interested in spoken language 58. All of the following might be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared literacy culture EXCEPT ______.

Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. Reading aloud was more common in the past than it is today. B. Not all printed mass media was appropriate for reading aloud. C. The decline of reading aloud was wholly due to its distracting effect. 5 D. The change in reading habits was partly due to the social, cultural and technological changes. 60. The writer of this passage is attempting to ______. A. explain how reading habits have developed B. change people’s attitudes to reading C. show how reading methods have improved D. encourage the growth of reading Questions 61-70 The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert hydrogen to helium. The Sun has existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred million years and is thousands of times larger than the Earth. By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will be like. About five billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too high for life to exist. Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf. After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat. Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the Earth’s surface. 61. It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun ______. A. is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf B. will continue to be a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years C. has been in existence for 10 billion years D. is rapidly changing in size and brightness 62. What will probably be the first stage of change for the Sun to become a red giant? A. Its surface will become hotter and shrink. B. It will throw off huge amounts of gases. C. Its central part will grow smaller and hotter. D. Its core will cool off and use less fuel. 63. When the Sun becomes a red giant, what will the atmosphere be like on the Earth? A. It will be enveloped in the expanding surface of the sun. B. It will become too hot for life to exist. C. It will be almost destroyed by nova explosions. D. It will freeze and become solid. 64. When the Sun has used up its energy as a red giant, it will ______. A. get frozen B. cease to exist C. stop to expand D. become smaller 65. Large amounts of gases may be released from the Sun at the end of its life as a ______. A. black dwarf B. white dwarf C. red giant D. yellow dwarf 6 66. As a white dwarf, the Sun will be ______. A. the same size as the planet Mercury B. around 35 million miles in diameter C. a cool and habitable planet D. thousands of times smaller than it is today 67. The Sun will become a black dwarf when ______. A. the Sun moves nearer to the Earth B. it has used up all its fuel as a white dwarf C. the core of the Sun becomes hotter D. the outer regions of the Sun expand 68. The word “there” in the last sentence of paragraph 4 refers to ______. A. the planet Mercury B. the core of a black dwarf C. our own planet D. the outer surface of the Sun 69. This passage is intended to ______. A. describe the changes that the Sun will go through B. present a theory about red giant stars C. alert people to the dangers posed by the Sun D. discuss conditions on the Earth in the far future 70.

Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs. But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing to work could find a job. 15 Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs - Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deductions from the paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated. In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs. These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes. Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity. 51. New immigrants to the U.S. could seek help from ______. A. the people who came earlier B. the US government agencies C. only charity organizations D. volunteer organizations 52. It took welfare programs a long time to gain a foothold in the U.S. due to the fast growth of______. A. industrialization B. modernization C. urbanization D. population 53. The word “instituted” in the first paragraph mostly means ______. A. “executed” B. “studied” C. “introduced” D. “enforced” 54. The Social Security program has become possible thanks to ______. A. deductions from wages B. people’s willingness to work C. donations from companies D. enforcement laws 55. Most of the public assistance programs ______ after the severe economic crisis. A. were introduced into institutions B. did not become institutionalized C. functioned fruitfully in institutions D. did not work in institutions 56.

In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected. The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health. On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often. 61.
