Design is the act of making something better. Everything, no matter how ordinary, has been designed.
 That some objects give us no special pleasure or are not fashionable does not alter the fact that somebody decided what they would look like, what they would do and how they would be used.
Every time you buy a new kettle or toaster, the quality of the design is influential, encouraging you to choose one kettle or toaster over the others. Good design works well. Excellent design works well and gives pleasure. Look at it the other way round. Some objects look very good but do not work well. Take the Alessi kettle, with its curved handle and two-tone whistle. It looks very exciting but the handle can get too hot to touch. Compare this with the familiar Russell Hobbs automatic electric kettle. It has been in production since the late 1950s, works perfectly and looks good.
 Poor designs are easy to find. If you cannot see what is at the back of the kitchen cupboard without getting down on your hands and knees, that is bad design. If you catch your sleeve on a door handle, that is bad design. If you cannot understand how to use the controls on your cooker without searching for the instruction book – and if, when you find the book, you still cannot work the timing switch, that is unpardonably bad design.
 The question is: how, when these kinds of faults are so obvious, have some designs ever reached our homes? The answer is that in most cases, bad designs emerge because not enough energy and time is given to thinking through all the different questions that should be asked about the product.
Kitchen cupboard makers will say that they are making cup-boards as economically as possible. This kind of “cheapness” is one of the main reasons for the absence of good design in our homes. To make a cupboard where the shelves swing out to display the contents when the door is opened is more expensive.
Question 61: What does the passage say that good designers think about?
A. how things will be used	B. what people are used to
C. what is fashionable	D. what will influence people
Question 62: Things which are excellently designed 
A. work perfectly	B. last a long time
C. always get chosen by shoppers	D. both work well and look good
Question 63: What was wrong with Alessi kettle?
A. It was too round	B. It was unreliable
C. The design was impractical 	D. The design was old-fashioned
Question 64: In what way are some cookers badly designed?
A. The handles stick out too far.
B. It is difficult to find the controls
C. Using the timing switch is a confusing process.
D. The instruction books have no diagrams
Question 65: Why do badly-designed things get made and sold?
A. They are quicker and cost less to make.
B. Manufacturers pay low wages to designers.
C. Designers do not know enough about manufacturing processes
D. These are too few food designers.
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 from 66 to 72.
 According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States. In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.
 Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders.” It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.
 Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look into instrumental leaders to “get things done.” Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-being of a social group’s member. Expressive leader are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them. Group members expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual members.
 Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give orders and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group’s goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the differences in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting goals, may enjoy a mote distant respect.
Question 66: The word “resolve” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_______.
A. find a solution for 	B. talk about	C. avoid thinking about	D. avoid repeating
Question 67: The word “them” in paragraph 3 refers to_______.
A. expressive leaders 	B. group members C. goals of the group D. tension and conflict
Question 68: In mentioning “natural leaders” in paragraph 2, the author is making the point that_____.
A. “natural leaders” share a similar set of characteristics
B. there is no proof that “natural leaders” exist
C. few people qualify as “natural leaders”
D. “natural leaders’ are easily accepted by the members of a social group
Question 69: The passage mentions all of the following ways by which people can become leaders EXCEPT_______.
A. specific leadership training	B. recruitment
C. traditional cultural patterns	D. formal election process
Question 70: The word “collective” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_______.
A. necessary	B. typical	C. particular	D. group
Question 71: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The problems faced by leaders
B. How social groups determine who will lead them
C. How leadership differs in small and large groups
D. The role of leaders in social groups
Question 72: The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on_______.
A. identifying new leaders	B. achieving a goal
C. ensuring harmonious relationships	D. sharing responsibility with group members
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 from 73 to 78.
In today's competitive world, what responsible parent would not want to give their children the best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months old, to become familiar with computers. They seem to think that if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future. 
No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent. The truth may even be the opposite. Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development. Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects. Ten-month-old babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons. A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen. So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs. 
It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an early age. Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse". Now is the time when they should be out there learning to ride a bike. There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards. 
Question 73: Why do parents want their children to learn how to use a computer from an early age? 
A. Because they are afraid their children will become competitive. 
B. Because they want their children to be well prepared for their future. 
C. Because this is what all the other parents seem to do. 
D. Because they believe their children will have difficulty learning to use one if they don't start early. 
Question 74: Children who spend a lot of time on their computers.. 
A. do not necessarily make more progress than those who don't. 
B. tend to like music and art more than those who don't. 
C. will suffer from brain damage. 
D. tend to have more accidents than those who don't. 
Question 75: The author implies that children learn better . 
A. after they have developed hand-eye coordination. 	
B. when they use a computer. 
C. as they get older. 
D. when they hold and feel things around them. 
Question 76: What would be an appropriate title for this passage? 
A. Never too early to start 	B. Let kids be kids 
C. Computers in schools 	D. More computers mean brighter future
Question 77: What is true according to the passage? 
A. It is better for children to take computer lessons than art lessons. 
B. Parents should not put off buying a computer for their children. 
C. Computers seriously harm children's eyesight. 
D. There is no evidence that children who use computers are more clever than those who do not. 
Question 78: What does the word "ludicrous" in the third paragraph (first sentence) mean? 
A. ridiculous 	B. humorous 	C. ironic 	D. sensible
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 from 79 to 85.
A rather surprising 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 extremely cold temperatures 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 scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake ; the 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 Antarctica is of interest to the scientific community because of the 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 organism in more exposed areas .The negative aspect 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 looking for possible way to accomplish this.
Question 79: The word “hidden” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to____
A. unexploitable	B. untouched	C. undicovered	D. undrinkable
Question 80: What is true of Lake Vostok ?
A. It is beneath a thick slab of ice	B. It is heated by the sun
C. It is a saltwater lake.	D. It is completely frozen.
Question 81: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it ____
A. could not determine the lake’s exact size	B. made use of radio waves
C. was conducted by air	D. was controlled by a satellite
Question 82: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if ______ .
A. there were no lake underneath	B. Antarctica were not so cold
C. radio waves were not used	D. the lake were not so big
Question 83: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it ________ .
A. may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light	B. has already been contaminated
C. can be studied using radio waves	D. may contain uncontaminated microbes
Question 84: The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of _______ .
A. further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica	
B. problems with satellite – borne radar equipment
C. the harsh climate of Antarctica	
D. ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it
Question 85: The purpose of the passage is to _______ .
A. present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica’s geography	
B. provided satellite data concerning Antarctica
C. explain how Lake Vostok was discovered	
D. discuss future plans for Lake Vostok
