Questions 6 through 9 refer to the passage below.
This is a chart of the Food Pyramid. The Food Pyramid serves as a basic guide to make
healthy food choices. If you take a look at the guide you can easily see which food groups
you should be eating. According to the pyramid, most of your daily food should consist of
breads, rice, and cereals. These are the foods in the bottom level of the pyramid. Almost
equal to these, but not quite as much, should be vegetables and fruits. Therefore, you can
feel free to go ahead and eat lots of fruit and vegetables every day. Servings of meat, fish,
eggs, and dairy foods, which include milk and cheese, should be much smaller. Sugar should
be the smallest portion of all. Of course, your daily nutritional needs will vary according to
your activity level and life style. You do not have to follow the Food Pyramid, but it is a
good way to be sure you will get the healthiest benefits from your daily food. If you keep a
copy of the pyramid stuck to the door of your refrigerator, it will remind you to plan your
daily meals wisely every time you go into the kitchen.
6. Which of the followings are dairy products?

Questions 10 to 15 refer to the passage below.
Compact discs (CDs) have revolutionized the music industry with their surprisingly realistic sound.

(LPs). Since their introduction, CDs have become more affordable and widely available. In fact, they
are now sold in electronics and video stores that haven’t formally carried records or cassettes.There has been a phenomenal growth in the sale of CDs. Sales climbed dramatically during the
second half of the 1980s. In the 1990s, sales have been even greater. CDs have all but replaced LPs
in stores and, in spite of their being less affordable than cassettes, continue to gain in popularity.

Questions 5 through 10 refer to the following paragraph.
Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know very much about them. For
example, there are 350 kinds of sharks, and all of them are meat eaters. Some sharks are very big.
The whale shark is 50 to 60 feet long. But some sharks are very small. The dwarf shark is only 6
inches long.
Sharks are 100 million years old. In fact, they lived at the same time as dinosaurs. Today, sharks
live in every ocean in the world, but most sharks live in warm water. They keep the oceans clean
because they eat sick fish and animals. Most sharks have four to six rows of teeth. When a shark’stooth falls out another tooth moves in from behind. Sharks do not have ears. However, they ‘hear’sound and movements in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. Sharks can
feel these vibrations, and they help the sharks find food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food,
too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food at dawn, in the evening, or in the
middle of the night. Scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example,
cancer is common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare in sharks. Scientists
want to find out why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people
prevent cancer too.

people. His customers pay about £500 for their first pair of shoes. He says: “Our customers come

video recorder, the stereo and all lot of our records and CDs. All the drawers had were empty. We
phoned out the police, who sent two their officers around very quickly. They looked at the mess, and
asked about a few questions. I asked them if and they checked for fingerprints, but they said that
there was no point. They told to us that it was very unlikely that they would catch the burglars
anyway. We all felt very angry and confused. At the least we were insured, which meant that we
were able to replace nearly everything of. But we couldn’t replace the feeling of security that we had
before the burglary happened us. Even today one year later, we still worry about that it may happen
very again.

Question 1 through 5 refer to the following passage.
Sleep is very important to human beings. An average person spends 220,000 hours of his life
sleeping. Until about 30 years ago, no one knew much about sleep. Although doctors and scientists
have done research in sleep laboratories, they have learnt a great deal by studying people as they
are sleeping, but there is still much that they don’t understand. Sleeping is a biological need, butyour brain never really sleeps. It is never actually blank. The things that were on your mind during
the day are still there at night. They appear as dreams which people have discussed for years.
Sometimes people believed that dreams had magical powers or that they could tell the future. You
may have sweet dreams or nightmares.
Sleep is very important to humans. We spend one third of your life sleeping, so we need to
understand everything we can about sleep.

Question 6 through 10 refer to the following passage.
A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S. Geography Survey shows that strange animal
behaviours might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences about ten
kilometers from where a fairly recent earthquake took place. Some birds made strange sounds and
flew wildly, dogs barked and ran around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can sense theses environmental changes as early as several days
before the disaster.
In 1976 after observing animal behaviours, the Chinese scientists were able to predict a terrifying
earthquake. Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to
evacuate millions of other people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level.
6. What can people predict by observing animal behaviours?
A. A likely earthquake.
B. The number of people who will be killed.
C. The number of people who will be evacuated.
D. Environmental changes.
7. Why are animals aware of these changes?
A. Animals are clever than humans.
B. Animals have certain special instincts.
C. Animals can feel the shaking of the earth by running around the house.
D. Humans don’t know where to look.

A. Some animals may be able to sense a coming earthquake.
B. By observing animal behaviours, scientists can predict earthquakes.
C. The Chinese scientists have successfully predicted an earthquake and saved many lives.
D. All birds and dogs in surrounding areas went wild before the earthquake.

clothes, as I like to wear things that are in fashion.”Colin Peters, who is studying engineering, disagrees. “I don’t spend anything on clothes,” he said,“unless you count climbing boots. I’m very keen on climbing, and you really need specialequipment, some of which is very expensive. Luckily, my parents gave me money for my birthday
in November. Not much of my money goes on transport, because I have a bicycle.”Diana Bell is a first year fashion student. “I make all my own clothes. This should save me money,
but in fact, the materials are very expensive. I don’t know how I would manage if I didn’t sellsome of the dresses and hats I make to the other students. Everything is expensive,” she said.“That includes the rent, food, transport and heating of the flat in winter.”Jack is a science student in his final year. “What do I spend money on? Well, not on clothes, andnot on going out in the evening. My rent is expensive, and I suppose I spend quite a lot on books.”
