The combination of music and study has long been a source of disagreement between adults and children. Parents and teachers alike maintain that silence is important when learning, (31) .. youngsters insist that their favourite sounds help them concentrate.
Now a study shows the grown-ups have been right all along. Psychologists in Florida tested how fast students wrote essays with and without music in the (32) . They found that the sounds slowed progress down by about sixty words per hour. 'This demonstrates clearly that it is difficult to cope with listening and writing at the same time,' said Dr Sarah Randall. She also(33) . to conclusion that it is a myth that instrumental music is less distracting that vocals. 'All types of music had the same effect,' she said in her report. 'One's ability to pay attention and write fluently is likely to be disturbed(34).. both vocal and instrumental music,' she added.
Dr Randall claimed the research demonstrated that the idea that music could improve performance was wrong. 'Writing and essay is a complex task. You are recalling information and putting it in order.

Around 365 B.C, in ancient Greece, the great teacher Plato told a story about a place called Atlantis. Plato described Atlantis as a continent in the Atlantic Ocean. He said it had been the home of powerful people who were destroyed when the continent was swallowed by the sea.
Ever since Plato’s time, people have wondered if the story about Atlantis was really true. Was there ever such a place as Atlantis? During the Middle Ages, many people believed in the legend of Atlantis. Some men even made voyages to find the “lost continent”. Later, most people believed Atlantis to be just a myth. Scientists could find to no evidence to show that such a place had ever existed.
Ideas change in time, however, for now some scientists think that Atlantis might have been a real place. A Greek professor has offered a new theory. He says that Atlantis was not a continent in the Atlantic Ocean an island called Thera in the Aegean Sea. The professor says that 3500 years ago much of Thera collapsed into the sea a volcano erupted. He thinks that before the explosion Thera had been the home of people called Minoans. The Minoans were sea traders who ruled the Aegean Sea from 2000 B.C. to 1250 B.C.
Scientists who have come to investigate Thera have found an accident city buried beneath volcanic ash and stone. It appears that the people who lives in the city had an advanced civilization. They were probably Mimoans.

A. scientists	B. sea traders	C. teachers	D. Greek professors.
Question 39: The word “explosion” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by 	.
A. investigation.	B. invasion	C. excursion	D. eruption
Question 40: Why did Thera collapse into the sea?

Read the passage and mark A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
Native Americans probably arrived from Asia in successive waves over several millennia, crossing a plain hundreds of miles wide that now lies inundated by 160 feet of water released by melting glaciers. For several periods of time, the first beginning around 60,000 BC. and the last ending around 7,000BC. , this land bridge was open. The first people travelled in the dusty trails of the animals they hunted. They brought with them not only their families, weapons, and tools but also a broad metaphysical understanding, sprung from dreams and visions and articulated in myth and song, which complemented their scientific and historical knowledge of the lives of animals and people. All this they shaped in a variety of languages, bringing into being oral literatures of power and beauty.
Contemporary readers, forgetting the origins of western epic, lyric, and dramatic forms, are easily disposed to think of “literature” only as something written. But on reflection it becomes clear that the more critically useful as well as the more frequently employed sense of the term concerns the artfulness of the verbal creation, not its mode of presentation. Ultimately, literature is aesthetically valued, regardless of language, culture, or mode of presentation, because some significant verbal achievement results from the struggle in words between tradition and talent. Verbal art has the ability to shape out a compelling inner vision in some skillfully crafted public verbal form.
Of course, the differences between the written and oral modes of expression are not without consequences for an understanding of Native American literature. The essential difference is that a speech event is an evolving communication, an “emergent form”, the shape, functions, and aesthetic values of which become more clearly realized over the course of the performance. In performing verbal art, the performer assumes responsibility for the manners as well as the content of the performance, while the audience assumes the responsibility for evaluating the performer’s competence in both areas. It is this intense mutual engagement that elicits the display of skill and shapes the emerging performance. Where written literature provides us with a tradition of texts, oral literature offers a tradition of performances.
Question 43: According to the passage, why did the first people who came to North America leave their homeland?
A. They were hoping to find a better climate.	B. They were seeking freedom.
C. They were following instructions given in a dream.	D. They were looking for food.
Question 44: The phrase “are easily disposed” is closet in meaning to
A. demonstrate reluctance	B. readily encourage others
C. have a tendency	D. often fail
Question 45: The word “Ultimately” is closet in meaning to
A. frequently	B. normally	C. in the end	D. whenever possible
Question 46: The word “compelling” is closet in meaning to
A. joyous	B. intricate	C. competing	D. forceful
Question 47: What is the main point of the second paragraph ?
A. Oral narratives are a valid form of literature.	B. Public performance is essential to verbal art.
Native Americans have a strong oral tradition in art.
The production of literature provides employment for many artists.
Question 48: According to the passage, what responsibility does the audience of a verbal art performance have?
They provide financial support for performances.
They judge the quality of the content and presentation.
They participate in the performance by chanting responses.
They determine the length of the performance by requesting a continuation.
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true of the Native American literature discussed in the passage?
A. It involves acting	B. It has ancient origins C. It has a set form	D. It expresses an inner vision. Question 50: What can be inferred from the passage about the difference between written and oral literature?
Written literature reflects social values better than oral literature does.
Written literature involves less interaction between audience and creator during the creative progress than oral literature does.
Written literature usually is not based on historical events, whereas oral literature is.
Written literature is not as highly respected as oral literature is.

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 .
Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18.
The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David's firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each month.
But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money.
Despite his salary, earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and profit-sharing, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, or obtain credit cards.
He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive.
David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs," he said.
"I suppose £35,000 sounds a lot but actually that's being pessimistic. I hope it will come to more than that this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother £20 a week. But most his spare time is spent working.
"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But 1 had been studying it in books and 'magazines for four years in my spare time. 1 knew what 1 wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway."
David added: "I would like to earn a million and 1 suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear."
Question 11. Why is David different from other young people at his age?
A. He earns an extremely high salary.            B. He lives at home with his parents.
C. He does not go out much.                          D. He is not unemployed.
Question 12. David's greatest problem is _______
A. learning to drive.                                        B. spending his salary.
C. inventing computer games.                        D. making the banks treat him as an adult.
Question 13. He was employed by the company because _______
A. he works very hard.                                   B. he had written some computer programs.
C. he had worked in a computer shop.           D. he had learnt to use computers at school.
Question 14. He left school after taking O-levels because _______
A. he was afraid of getting too old to start computing.
B. he did not enjoy school.
C. he wanted to work with computers and staying at school did not help him.
D. he wanted to earn a lot of money.
Question 15. Why does David think he might retire early?
A. He wants to stop working when he is a millionaire.
B. You have to be young to write computer programs.
C. He thinks his firm might go bankrupt.
D. He thinks computer games might not always sell so well.
Question 16. The word " pessimistic " in the reading passage probably means_______
A. easy                        B. negative                  C. optimistic                D. positive
Question 17. The word " releases " in the reading passage can be replaced by_______

A rather surprisingly geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core. The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperature (the lowest ever recorded on Earth) on the surface.
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientist aware of the tremendous size of the lake; satellite -borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake.
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctic is of interest to the scientific community because of potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas. The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are loo
