Exercise is one of the best ways of keeping (31) (depressed) away. It improves your body and your mind and (32) (able) you to perform better in the work place and at home.
Proper (33) (breath) is essential if you want to get the most from exercise and you should also take into (34) (consider) your heart rate. It can be (35) (harm) to do too much, which is why all good fitness instructors emphasise the (36) (important) of “listening to your body”.
When you first start you should use good (37) (judge), because it’s easy to make the mistake of using the equipment (38) (correct) or doing too much at one time. Start slowly and build up gradually.
Exercise should not be seen as a (39) (demand) task; it can be as easy as a quick walk. To increase your fitness (40) (steady), exercise for 20 minutes a day, 4 to 6 times a week and you will notice a difference in your body and mind in a few weeks.
SECTION C. READING
II. Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer from A, B, C or D.
Noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is another environmental pollutant. Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a byproduct of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to it.
Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates without protection. Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear.
Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same ways that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well.
41. What is the author’s main point?
A. Loud noises signal danger.
B. Noise may pose a serious threat to our phisical and psychological health.
C. Hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem.
D. The ear is not like the eye.
42. What is the author’s definition of noise?
A. byproduct of technology. B. Unwanted sound.
C. Physical and psychological harm. D. Congestion.
43. According to the passage, people respond to loud noises in the same way that they respond to
A. annoyance B. disease C. damage D. danger
44. It can be inferred from this passage that the eye
A. responds to fear. B. increases functions.
C. enjoys greater protection than the ear. D. is damaged by noise.
45. According to the author, which of the following is true?
A. Noise is not a serious problem today.
B. Noise is an unavoidable problem in an industrial society.
C. Noise is America’s number-one problem.
D. Noise is a complex problem.
II. Read the text below and choose the word from the box which best fits each space.
SEASIDE HOLIDAYS IN BRITAIN
British families started going on holiday to the seaside around the middle of the 19th century. The invention of the railways (46) ...... this possible. The first holidaymakers were quite rich and went for their health and education. The seaside was a place to be (47) .......... of illness, and doctors recommended bathing in the sea and drinking sea water. Also to (48) ....... their knowledge, families attended concerts and read books from the library.
At that time, ordinary working people had very little time (49) work. However, in 1871, the government (50) ...... four “Bank Holidays”- national holiday days. This (51) ........ people to have a day or two out, which (52) .......... gave them a (53) ...... for leisure and the seaside. At first, they went on day-trips, taking (54) .......... of special cheap tickets on the railways.
By the 1880s, rising incomes (55) ........... that many ordinary workers and their families could
have a week’s holiday at the seaside. Rail fares were reduced and cheap hotels were built to (56) ....... them. Holidaymakers enjoyed being (57) ........., sitting on the beach, bathing in the sea, and eating ice-cream. Cheap entertainment was (58) .......... offer and holidaymakers went to (59) ....... fun.
Today, the English seaside (60) ............ popular, with more than 18 million holidays taken there each year.
III. Fill in each numbered gap with one suitable word.
Many species are now in (61) of being extinct. Among the threats to endangered species are businesses that buy and (62) animals for their skin and other (63) . Unfortunately, the people who run these businesses are not discouraged by fines, which they see as just another business expense. A (64) way to control the problem would be to force (65) is caught buying or selling products made from endangered (66) to do community service. Their community service should require work that helps (67) the animals they are harming.
Such a law should be quite effective. If people trafficking in (68) animal products were forced to help endangered species, they might understand (69) destructive their business is. Also, their community service tasks turn them into helpers rather (70) destroyers.

Take the ridiculous and __4__ (mean) rule of never ending a sentence with a preposition. The lovely - if famous – story goes, that Winston Churchill, well-known for his numerous __5__ (write) as well as for being British Prime Minister during the Second World War, received a manuscript back from an ignorant __6__ (edit), who had told him rather rudely that he had to __7__ (phrase) a sentence which ended with a preposition. Churchill responded by making the simple yet forceful __8__ (state) in the margin: “This is an impertinence up with which I will not put.” – the __9__ (imply) being that not to end a sentence with a preposition often sounds ridiculous in English, Sadly, Allen informs us that the story is probably mere __10__ (hear), and that Churchill may have actually only written “rubbish!” in the margin.
C. READING
PART VIII. Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions
Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing the effects of extreme heat. One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb the Sun's rays. Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of maintaining a constant body temperature. Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in Grant's gazelles. The overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature may fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel. This is an advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day.
Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be fatal for non-adapted animals. The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight. An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink. Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes. A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to dehydrate at one session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water intoxication.
The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures. Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience in people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst.
1. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Weather variations in the desert B. Adaptations of desert animals
C. Diseased of desert animals D. Human use of desert animals.
2. According to the passage, why is light coloring an advantage to large desert animals?
A. It helps them hide from predators.
B. It does not absorb sunlight as much as dark colors.
C. It helps them see their young at night
D. It keeps them cool at night.
3. The word "maintaining" is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. measuring B. inheriting C. preserving D. delaying
4. The author uses of Grant's gazelle as an example of ___________.
A. an animal with a low average temperature
B. an animal that is not as well adapted as the camel
C. a desert animal that can withstand high body temperatures
D. a desert animal with a constant body temperature
5. When is the internal temperature of a large desert mammal lower?
A. Just before sunrise B. In the middle of the day
C. Just after sunset D. Just after drinking
6. The word "tolerate" is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. endure B. replace C. compensate D. reduce
7. What causes water intoxication?
A. Drinking too much water very quickly B. Drinking polluted water
C. Bacteria in water D. Lack of water.
8. What does the author imply about desert-adapted mammals?
A. They do not need to eat much food. B. They can eat large quantities quickly
C. They easily lose their appetites. D. They can travel long distances looking for food.
9. Why does the author mention humans in the second paragraph?
A. To show how they use camels. B. To contrast them to desert mammals.
C. To give instructions about desert survival. D. To show how they have adapted to desert life.
10. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an adaptation of large desert animals?
A. Variation in body temperatures B. Eating while dehydrated
C. Drinking water quickly D. Being active at night.

SECTION C – READING
I. Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer from A, B, C or D.
WHY SEAT BELTS ARE NECESSARY
More than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. The impact on you of an accident can be very serious. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third - floor window. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.
Who has to wear a seat belt?
Drivers or front seat passengers in most vehicles. If you are 14 or over it will be your responsibility to wear the belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to £50. It will not be up to the driver to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.
A very few vehicles have a middle front seat between the front passenger seat and the driver’s seat, for example a bench seat. Your vehicle may be one of them. If just one passenger sits in front, he must wear a seat belt. But if two passengers sit in front, the person sitting in the middle will not have to wear a belt.
When you do not have to wear a seat belt
You do not have to wear a seat belt in certain circumstances, such as if you are reversing your vehicle, if you are making a local delivery or collection using a vehicle constructed or adapted for that purpose, or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.
Medical exemptions
Certain people ought not to wear a seat belt because of their health. It may be more risky for them to wear a belt than to be in a road accident without one. But they will not have to wear a belt if they get a valid medical certificate from a doctor. If you think this applies to you, go and talk to a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor may reassure you that you can wear a seat belt. Or he may have to examine you before he can decide whether or not to give you a certificate. When you go and see him you should ask him at the start how much this would cost. Keep the certificate. If the police ask you why you are not wearing a seat belt, you should show them the certificate. If you cannot show it to them on the spot, you should take the certificate to a police station of your choice within five days.
36. This text is taken from ______.

C. a legal document D. a government information leaflet

A. reduces the risk of death and injury to drivers and passengers

B. stop children riding in the front seat

II. Read the following text and choose the best answer for the questions below. Write your answer in the space provided.
Today, I’d like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up of the earth. First, we’ll touch on the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that the ozone layer is the protective shield around the earth. It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly made by the action of the sun in the upper atmosphere. It is also regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes.
The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists suspect that certain chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we use fluorocarbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from these fluorocarbons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are, however, new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We’ll go into that new study more next time.
51. Who is the most likely speaker?
A. A professor. B. A doctor. C. A mechanic. D. A chemist.
52. The speaker’s main topic is ______.
A. ultraviolet light B. the use of spray cans
C. air-conditioning systems D. fluorocarbons and the ozone layer
53. What is the most important purpose of the ozone layer?
A. Providing fluorocarbons. B. Shielding the sun.
C. Protecting the earth. D. Destroying chemicals.
54. What is the ozone layer made of?
A. Fluorocarbons. B. Oxygen. C. Shields. D. Ultraviolet light.
55. What will the speaker probably discuss next?
A. How to make air conditioners with fluorocarbons.
B. The sun as a cause of ozone layer depletion.
C. The make-up of the ozone layer.
D. Harmful effects of ultraviolet light.
