Memo
To: Jennifer Martin, Sports Equipment Manager
From: Clive Wilbur, Management Committee Chairperson
Re: June 25 Annual General Meeting
I know that you will be unable to attend this year's meeting on the 25' so I am sending you
the agenda now. Please take a look at it before the meeting and give me your opinion on
the items.
We have decided to resurface the tennis courts and need to choose from three contractors.
I will send you their price lists and a voting form later. Everyone at the meeting will have
a chance to vote. As you know, we have suffered a lot of broken windows recently. I
would appreciate it if you could fax me your ideas on how to deal with this problem. The
fourth item on the agenda refers to renting equipment. We will limit rentals to one hour on
weekends and two hours during the week. Only members will be able to rent equipment
on weekends. This brings us to the next item: all members will be required to show their
membership card in order to use the sports center at a discounted price.
Please send me your thoughts as soon as possible, and I will talk to you in person when
you get back from your vacation.

Questions 6 through 9 refer to the passage below.
This is a chart of the Food Pyramid. The Food Pyramid serves as a basic guide to make
healthy food choices. If you take a look at the guide you can easily see which food groups
you should be eating. According to the pyramid, most of your daily food should consist of
breads, rice, and cereals. These are the foods in the bottom level of the pyramid. Almost
equal to these, but not quite as much, should be vegetables and fruits. Therefore, you can
feel free to go ahead and eat lots of fruit and vegetables every day. Servings of meat, fish,
eggs, and dairy foods, which include milk and cheese, should be much smaller. Sugar should
be the smallest portion of all. Of course, your daily nutritional needs will vary according to
your activity level and life style. You do not have to follow the Food Pyramid, but it is a
good way to be sure you will get the healthiest benefits from your daily food. If you keep a
copy of the pyramid stuck to the door of your refrigerator, it will remind you to plan your
daily meals wisely every time you go into the kitchen.
6. Which of the followings are dairy products?
A. Milk and cheese
B. Fish and eggs

Questions 10 to 15 refer to the passage below.

Compact discs (CDs) have revolutionized the music industry with their surprisingly realistic sound.
The six-inch discs look like thin plastic sandwiches with aluminum in the center. They have digitally
recorded material that is read by laser beams, so the sound has none of the cracking of vinyl records.
CDs are also virtually indestructible, and they are lighter and smaller than conventional records
(LPs). Since their introduction, CDs have become more affordable and widely available. In fact, they
are now sold in electronics and video stores that havent formally carried records or cassettes.
There has been a phenomenal growth in the sale of CDs. Sales climbed dramatically during the
second half of the 1980s. In the 1990s, sales have been even greater. CDs have all but replaced LPs
in stores and, in spite of their being less affordable than cassettes, continue to gain in popularity.

Questions 5 through 10 refer to the following paragraph.
Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know very much about them. For
example, there are 350 kinds of sharks, and all of them are meat eaters. Some sharks are very big.
The whale shark is 50 to 60 feet long. But some sharks are very small. The dwarf shark is only 6
inches long.
Sharks are 100 million years old. In fact, they lived at the same time as dinosaurs. Today, sharks
live in every ocean in the world, but most sharks live in warm water. They keep the oceans clean
because they eat sick fish and animals. Most sharks have four to six rows of teeth. When a sharks
tooth falls out another tooth moves in from behind. Sharks do not have ears. However, they hear
sound and movements in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. Sharks can
feel these vibrations, and they help the sharks find food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food,
too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food at dawn, in the evening, or in the
middle of the night. Scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example,
cancer is common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare in sharks. Scientists
want to find out why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people
prevent cancer too.

The shoemaker
Bill Brown is a shoemaker who cannot make shoes fast enough for his growing number of
customers- he charges more than 300 for a pair! Customers travel hundreds of kilometers to his
London shoe store or to his workshop in the countryside to have their feet measured. He makes
shoes for people with feet of unusual sizes: very large, very small, very broad or very narrow.
The shoes are at least as fashionable as those found in ordinary shops.
Mr. Brown says: My problem is that I cannot find skilled workers. Young people all seem to
prefer to work with computers these days. We will lose the necessary skills soon because there
are fewer and fewer shoemakers nowadays. I am 45, and now I want to teach young people
everything I know about making shoes. It is a good job, and a lot of people want to buy beautiful
shoes made for them. He started in the business 19 years ago and now he employs five other
people. His customers pay about 500 for their first pair of shoes. He says: Our customers come
because they want comfortable shoes which are exactly the right size. Pairs of shoes cost
between 320 and 450, and as it takes one employee a whole week to make just one shoe.

phoned out the police, who sent two their officers around very quickly. They looked at the mess, and
asked about a few questions. I asked them if and they checked for fingerprints, but they said that
there was no point. They told to us that it was very unlikely that they would catch the burglars
anyway. We all felt very angry and confused. At the least we were insured, which meant that we

before the burglary happened us. Even today one year later, we still worry about that it may happen
very again.

Question 1 through 5 refer to the following passage.
Sleep is very important to human beings. An average person spends 220,000 hours of his life
sleeping. Until about 30 years ago, no one knew much about sleep. Although doctors and scientists
have done research in sleep laboratories, they have learnt a great deal by studying people as they
are sleeping, but there is still much that they dont understand. Sleeping is a biological need, but
your brain never really sleeps. It is never actually blank. The things that were on your mind during
the day are still there at night. They appear as dreams which people have discussed for years.
Sometimes people believed that dreams had magical powers or that they could tell the future. You
may have sweet dreams or nightmares.
Sleep is very important to humans. We spend one third of your life sleeping, so we need to
understand everything we can about sleep.

A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S. Geography Survey shows that strange animal
behaviours might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences about ten
kilometers from where a fairly recent earthquake took place. Some birds made strange sounds and
flew wildly, dogs barked and ran around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can sense theses environmental changes as early as several days
before the disaster.
In 1976 after observing animal behaviours, the Chinese scientists were able to predict a terrifying
earthquake. Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to
evacuate millions of other people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level.
6. What can people predict by observing animal behaviours?
A. A likely earthquake.
B. The number of people who will be killed.
C. The number of people who will be evacuated.
D. Environmental changes.
7. Why are animals aware of these changes?
A. Animals are clever than humans.
B. Animals have certain special instincts.
C. Animals can feel the shaking of the earth by running around the house.
D. Humans dont know where to look.
8. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Some animals may be able to sense a coming earthquake.
B. By observing animal behaviours, scientists can predict earthquakes.
C. The Chinese scientists have successfully predicted an earthquake and saved many lives.
D. All birds and dogs in surrounding areas went wild before the earthquake.
9. In the passage, the word evacuate most nearly means .

A. remove
B. replace
C. move
D. drive
10. If scientists can accurately predict earthquakes, there will be .
A. fewer animals going wild.
B. a greater numbers of survivors.
C. fewer people who need to evacuate.
D. fewer environmental changes.

quite cheaply at the university, but I spend quite a lot on transport. I also spend quite a lot on
clothes, as I like to wear things that are in fashion.
Colin Peters, who is studying engineering, disagrees. I dont spend anything on clothes, he said,
unless you count climbing boots. Im very keen on climbing, and you really need special
equipment, some of which is very expensive. Luckily, my parents gave me money for my birthday
in November. Not much of my money goes on transport, because I have a bicycle.
Diana Bell is a first year fashion student. I make all my own clothes. This should save me money,
but in fact, the materials are very expensive. I dont know how I would manage if I didnt sell
some of the dresses and hats I make to the other students. Everything is expensive, she said.
That includes the rent, food, transport and heating of the flat in winter.
Jack is a science student in his final year. What do I spend money on? Well, not on clothes, and
not on going out in the evening. My rent is expensive, and I suppose I spend quite a lot on books.

PART 2. Choose the answer A, B, C, or D which best completes each sentence.

When people want to say something is very pleasant, they often say it's "as sweet as honey." Sugar
didn't reach Europe until the twelfth century, so until then, honey was the only sweetener in the
Western world. Honey is the most natural food there is, and one of the very few that does not spoil
with age. Honey found in ancient Egyptian tombs is thousands of years old, but still tastes good.
This is because there are no chemicals in honey. It is absolutely pure. Even today, honey contains
no artificial ingredients.
The source of honey is the species of insect called the honeybee. The honeybee is always busy. It
visits 145 flowers in order to collect the amount of just one teaspoon of honey. For a pound of
honey, the honeybee flies the distance equal to three times around the world and makes visits to
about two million flowers.
There are over 250 types of honey in the United States alone. Generally, the lighter the color of the
honey is, the higher the quality is. Very high grade honeys come from clover, orange blossoms and
alfalfa.
Bears love honey as much as humans do. The diet of some birds, such as the humming birds of the
America is almost entirely honey. There is no honey in Alaska and some remote parts of Siberia
because it is too cold for the honeybee to survive there.

D. Honey is made by bees.
3. How far does the honeybee fly to produce one kilogram of honey?
A. the distance equal to two times the axis of the globe.
B. the distance more than six times around the world.
C. the distance equal to three times around the world.
D. the distance equal to millions of miles.
4. There is no honey in Alaska because
A. the honeybee cannot live in the cold climate there.
B. it is too cold for honeybee-keepers to survive there.
C. it is impossible to expose honey to the cold weather there.

Hearing impaired people cannot hear sounds well. How do they hear words and 'talk?

he or she makes hand signs.
There are two kinds of sign language. One kind has a sign for every letter in the alphabet. The
person spells words. This is finger spelling. The other kind has a sign for whole words. There are
about five thousand of these signs. They are signs for verbs, things and ideas. Some of the signs are
very easy, for example, eat, milk, and horse. You can see what they mean. Others are more difficult,
for example, star, egg, or week.
People from any country can learn ASL. They don't speak words. They use signs, so they can
understand people from other countries.
