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 29 to 35:
FAMILY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES
Family life in the United States is changing. Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a “housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends. 
These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?
Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are often too far away to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysitter or a day-care center. The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for. Many companies now let people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word: they are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands every year.
These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.

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 43 to 50:
Until recently, the ‘science of the future’ was supposed to be electronics and artificial intelligence. Today it seems more and more likely that the next breakthrough in technology will be brought about through a combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and genetic engineering. This science is the combination of biotechnology.
 	Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic materials. However, it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb moisture. Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the combination of strength, lightness, and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects. Nevertheless, scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded in 'growing' a material that has many of the characteristics of human skin. The next step may well be 'biotech heart and eyes’ which can replace diseased organs in human beings. These will not be rejected by the body, as in the case with organs from humans.
 	The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising. In 1996, the famous science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true, said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy. Some of these power sources will be biological. Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient. However, using them also means creating dangerously high levels of pollution. It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic levels unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner.
Question 43: According to the text, the science of the future is likely to be?
A. Nuclear technology.	B. Electronics.	C. Genetic engineering. D. Biotechnology
Question 44: The word “These” refers to__________.
A. diseased organs	B. biotech heart and eyes
C. human beings	D. characteristics of human skin
Question 45: What does the text say is one of the worst problems caused by the use of coal, gas, and oil?
A. They are so cheap that people waste them.
B. They are very bad for the world around us.
C. They are no longer as easy to use as they once were.
D. They are too expensive for poorer people in many parts of the world.
Question 46: According to the text, it may soon be possible__________.
A. to make something as good as human skin.
B. to take an organ from one human and give it to another human.
C. to make useful substitutes for human hearts and eyes.
D. to cure certain diseases that damage human organs.
Question 47: In 1996, Arthur C. Clarke predicted__________.
A. that we may not be able to meet future demand for energy
B. that using oil, gas, and coal would lead to very high levels of pollution
C. newer and better ways of using oil, gas, and coal
D. new and better ways of heating and lighting homes, offices, and factories

A. satisfy	B. encounter	C. turn up	D. appear
