Passage 1 – Opera
Opera refers to a dramatic art form, originating in Europe, in which the
emotional content is conveyed to the audience as much through music, both vocal
and instrumental, as it is through the lyrics. By contrast, in musical theater
an actor's dramatic performance is primary, and the music plays a lesser role.
The drama in opera is presented using the primary elements of theater such as
scenery, costumes, and acting. However, the words of the opera, or libretto,
are sung rather than spoken. The singers are accompanied by a musical ensemble
ranging from a small instrumental ensemble to a full symphonic orchestra.
1. It is pointed out in the reading that opera ----.





2. We can understand from the reading that ----.
A) people are captivated more by opera than
musical theater
B) drama in opera is more important than the
music
C) orchestras in operas can vary considerably
in size
D) musical theater relies above all on music
E) there is argument over whether the music
is important or the words in
opera





opera
3. It is stated in the reading that ----.
A) acting and costumes are secondary to music
in musical theater
B) many people find musical theater more
captivating than opera
C) music in musical theater is not as
important as it is in opera
D) an opera requires a huge orchestra as well
as a large choir
E) opera doesn't have any properties in
common with musical theater





Passage 2 –
Dolphins
Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and
stories of them helping drowning sailors have been common since Roman times.
The more we learn about dolphins, the more we realize that their society is
more complex than people previously imagined. They look after other dolphins
when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the
community, as we do. Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a
language but it is much more probable that they communicate with each other
without needing words. Could any of these mammals be more intelligent than man?
Certainly the most common argument in favor of man's superiority over them that
we can kill them more easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory.
On the contrary, the more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the
less we appear superior when we destroy them.
4. It is clear from the passage that dolphins ----.





5. The fact that the writer of the passage thinks that we can kill
dolphins more easily than they can kill us ----.
A) means that they are better adapted to
their environment than we are
B) shows that dolphins have a very
sophisticated form of communication
C) proves that dolphins are not the most
intelligent species at sea
D) does not mean that we are superior to them
E) proves that Dolphins have linguistic
skills far beyond what we
previously thought





previously thought
6. One can infer from the reading that ----.
A) dolphins are quite abundant in some areas
of the world
B) communication is the most fascinating
aspect of the dolphins
C) dolphins have skills that no other living
creatures have such as the
ability to think
D) it is not usual for dolphins to
communicate with each other
E) dolphins have some social traits that are
similar to those of human



ability to think


Passage 3 -
Unsinkable Ship
Naval architects never claim that a ship is unsinkable, but the sinking
of the passenger-and-car ferry Estonia in the Baltic surely should have never
have happened. It was well designed and carefully maintained. It carried the
proper number of lifeboats. It had been thoroughly inspected the day of its
fatal voyage. Yet hours later, the Estonia rolled over and sank in a cold,
stormy night. It went down so quickly that most of those on board, caught in
their dark, flooding cabins, had no chance to save themselves: Of those who
managed to scramble overboard, only 139 survived. The rest died of hypothermia
before the rescuers could pluck them from the cold sea. The final death toll
amounted to 912 souls. However, there were an unpleasant number of questions about
why the Estonia sank and why so many survivors were men in the prime of life,
while most of the dead were women, children and the elderly.
7. One can understand from the reading that ----.

lowered

Estonia ferry



8. It is clear from the passage that the survivors of the accident ----.
A) helped one another to overcome the tragedy
that had affected them
all
B) were mostly young men but women, children
and the elderly stood little
chance
C) helped save hundreds of lives
D) are still suffering from severe
post-traumatic stress disorder
E) told the investigators nothing about the
accident

all

chance



9. According to the passage, when the Estonia sank, ----.
A) there were only 139 passengers on board
B) few of the passengers were asleep
C) there were enough lifeboats for the number
of people on board
D) faster reaction by the crew could have
increased the Estonia's
chances of survival
E) all the passengers had already moved out
into the open decks




chances of survival

Passage 4 -
Erosion in America
Erosion of America's farmland by wind and water has been a problem since
settlers first put the prairies and grasslands under the plow in the nineteenth
century. By the 1930s, more than 282 million acres of farmland were damaged by
erosion. After 40 years of conservation efforts, soil erosion has accelerated
due to new demands placed on the land by heavy crop production. In the years
ahead, soil erosion and the pollution problems it causes are likely to replace
petroleum scarcity as the nation's most critical natural resource problem.
10. As we understand from the reading, today, soil erosion in America ----.





11. The author points out in the passage that erosion in America ----.
A) has damaged 282 million acres ever since
settlers first put the prairies
and grasslands under the plow
B) has been so severe that it has forced
people to abandon their
settlements
C) occurs only in areas with no vegetation
D) can become a more serious problem in the
future
E) was on the decline before 1930s

One of my favorite vacation places is Mexico. I really like the weather there because it never gets cold. The people are very nice too. They never laugh at my bad Spanish. The food is really good. Mexico City is a very interesting place to visit. It has some great museums and lots of fascinating old buildings. The hotels are too expensive to stay but there are more affordable options. For example, you can stay at one of the beach resorts like Acapulco. If you are planning to visit Mexico, you should definitely see the Mayan temples near Merida.
