Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Until recently, humankind seemed to view the ocean as a source of infinite resources. Its vast size and depth and unexplored frontiers made the ocean appear invulnerable to overexploitation. The truth is that the populations of many species are decreasing at an unsustainable rate, and the number of species listed as endangered from marine life families such as whales, dolphins, manatees and dugongs, salmon, seabirds, sea turtles, and sharks to name a few, are on the rise. The threats to marine species are difficult to perceive because marine animals are not as visible as animals on land. But unfortunately, marine creatures are equally, if not more, vulnerable to problems such as habitat destruction and overexploitation. Shallow water animals that breathe air, like turtles, manatees, dugongs, and whales are often hit by boats and caught in fishing gear. Species such as turtles that lay their eggs on land often lose their nurseries due to coastal development. Animals that have taken millions of years to evolve, that are invaluable to all ecosystems, have and continue to vanish from places where they once flourished.

A. That humans can hardly see marine creatures. 

B. That technology is underdeveloped.

C. That there are too many types of marine creatures in the ocean.

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 following questions.

The Singapore Science Centre is located on a six-hectare site in Jurong. At the centre, we can discover the wonders of science and technology in a fun way. Clap your hands and colorful bulbs will light up. Start a wheel spinning and it will set off a fan churning. It is a place to answer our curiosity and capture our imagination.

The centre features over four hundred exhibits covering topics like solar radiation, communication, electronics, mathematics, nuclear energy and evolution. It aims to arouse interest in science and technology among us and the general public. The centre is the first science one to be established in South East Asia. It was opened in 1977 and it now receives an average of one thousand, two hundred visitors a day. The exhibits can be found in four exhibition galleries. They are the Lobby, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences and Aviation. These exhibits are renewed annually so as to encourage visitors to make return visits to the centre.

Instead of the usual “Hands off” notices found in exhibition halls, visitors are invited to touch and feel the exhibits, push the buttons, turn the cranks or pedals. This is an interesting way to learn science even if you hate the subject. A Discovery Centre was built for children between the ages of three and twelve. This new exhibition gallery was completed in 1985. Lately this year a stone-age exhibit was built. It shows us about the animals and people which were extinct.

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 following questions.

Improving girls’ educational levels has been demonstrated to have clear impacts on the health and economic future of young women, which in turn improves the prospects of their entire community. The infant mortality rate of babies whose mothers have received primary education is half that of children whose mothers are illiterate. In the poorest countries of the world, 50% of girls do not attend secondary school. Yet, research shows that every extra year of school for girls increases their lifetime income by 15%. Improving female education, and thus the earning potential of women, improves the standard of living for their own children, as women invest more of their income in their families than men do. Yet, many barriers to education for girls remain. In some African countries, such as Burkina Faso, girls are unlikely to attend school for such basic reasons as a lack of private latrine facilities for girls.

Higher attendance rates of high schools and university education among women, particularly in developing countries, have helped them make inroads to professional careers with better-paying salaries and wages. Education increases a woman's (and her partner and the family's) level of health and health awareness. Furthering women's levels of education and advanced training also tends to lead to later ages of initiation of sexual activity and first intercourse, later age at first marriage, and later age at first childbirth, as well as an increased likelihood to remain single, have no children, or have no formal marriage and alternatively, have increasing levels of long-term partnerships. It can lead to higher rates of barrier and chemical contraceptive use (and a lower level of sexually transmitted infections among women and their partners and children), and can increase the level of resources available to women who divorce or are in a situation of domestic violence. It has been shown, in addition, to increase women's communication with their partners and their employers, and to improve rates of civic participation such as voting or the holding of office.

Question 8.  It is stated in the first paragraph that __________.

A. earning their own living, women take the responsibility of running the household

B. it is the children's schooling that helps their mothers increase their lifetime income

C. women who have little schooling often have no idea of raising their children

D. women's education levels have influence on the prospect of their community

Question 9.  It is implied in the passage that __________.

A. the children's standard of living largely depends on their mother's income

B. the mother in a family makes every effort to raise the children effectively

C. the husband in a family takes little responsibility in rearing the children

D. there are numerous reasons for women not to come to class worldwide

Question 10.  The word "barriers" in the passage is closest in meaning to___________.

A. advantages                      B. limits                              C. problems                        D. difficulties

Question 11.  The phrase "make inroads into" in the passage can be best replaced with __________.

A. succeed in taking                                                        B. destroy the chance for

C. make progress in                                                        D. celebrate achievement in

Question 12.  According to the passage, furthering women's levels of education and advanced training does not result in __________.

A. improved rates of civic participation among women

B. an increased likelihood to remain single among women

C. an increased level of health awareness for the husbands

D. higher rates of barrier and chemical contraceptive use

Question 13.  The word "It" in the passage refers to __________.

A. increasing levels of long-term partnership

B. furthering women's levels of education and advanced training

C. a woman's level of health and health awareness

D. higher attendance rates of high schools and university education

Question 14.  What can be the best title of the reading passage?

A. Female Education and Social Benefits

B. Woman's Rights to Lifelong Education

C. Education and Women's Empowerment 

D. Education and Violence Against Women

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below:

Women in Britain are  better off today than they  used to be. At the beginning of the 19^th century, women seem to have almost no rights at all. They could not vote, or even sign a contract. Their marriages were arranged by their parents. They were once kept at home and if they were allowed to work, they were never given responsible jobs. It is strange to think that, as far as we know, most women were happy with that situation.

Today the position is quite different. Women now can vote and choose their own husbands. In 1970, a law was passed to give them an equal share of property in the case of divorce, and in the same year the Equal Pay Act gave them the right to get equal payment with men for work of equal value.

Despite these changes, there is no doubt that there are still great differences in status between men and women. Many employers seem to ignore the Equal Pay Act. It is also more difficult for a woman to get promotion than a man does.

There is sex distinction in England although it has not been so serious as it was. More and more women go out to work, earn more money, get high positions in the society, and live independently. However , there are two great problems to solve. The first problem is men's attitude. They always think that women are lower in rank and are the weaker sex. We do not know exactly how long it will take them to change their mind. And the other problem which is much more difficult is women's attitude. They should be ready to struggle to change their fate.

30.  At the beginning of the 19^th century ,___________.

A. British women were better off than today.

B. Women seemed to have  almost no rights at all.

C. British women had the right to vote.

D. British women had the right to choose their husbands.

31. The Equal Pay Act was passed in ___________.

A. 1960                 B. 1962                       C. 1970                       D. 1971

32. Which of these following sentences is NOT TRUE?

A. All the employers in Britain obey the Equal Pay Act.

B. In 1970, a law was passed to give British women the right to share property equally in the case of divorce.

C. The Equal Pay Act gave British women the right to get equal payment with men for work of equal value.

D. Women cannot get promotion as equal as men.

33. What is men's attitude?

A. They consider women to be equal to them.

B. They always look down upon women.

C. They consider women the stronger sex.

D. They consider women the weaker sex.

34. What should women do to eliminate sex distinction?

A. They should suffer with pleasure.

B. They should struggle to change their fate.

C. They should earn more money.

D. All are correct

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

The Sahara Desert is the world's largest hot desert. The Sahara is in North Africa and is as large as the United States. Many people think that an area like this has no animals or plant life, but they are incorrect. In fact, the Sahara Desert has many different 'ecoregions’. Each ecoregion has different plants and animals living there. The biggest ecoregion is called the 'Sahara Desert ecoregion.' In this area, the climate is extremely dry and extremely hot. The landscape is sandy and dusty with many high dunes. Because the Sahara Desert ecoregion is so hot and dry, there are very few plants and animals. Scientists estimate that there are only 500 species of plants. This is not very much when thinking of how enormous the region is. These plants include acacia trees, palms, spiny shrubs, and grasses. The Sahara is also home to 70 species of mammals. Twenty of these are large mammals. There are about 90 species of birds and around 100 reptiles.

The biggest threat to plants and animals in this environment is drying up. Because of this, plants have the ability to recover their health after their leaves have dried out completely. Animals can lose 30-60% of their body mass and still survive. Most animals do not get their water from drinking like other ecosystems. Instead, they have adapted to get their water through metabolic processes. This is why they can survive in a place like the Sahara Desert ecosystem.
