Questions 62 through 64 refer to the following article

Mountain biking has become one of the fastest growing recreational activities, with more than
25 million Americans participating in the sport. Many novice riders often jump immediately into
the sport without preparing their bodies for the wear and tear their muscles will undergo. A
proper warm-up and cool-down may minimize the soreness of the muscles after a hard ride.
Stretches are most effective after your muscles have already warmed up. To warm up, simply
perform an aerobic activity of your choice, such as jogging or riding around the parking lot, at a
low level for five minutes. This activity should be followed by a stretching regimen that
addresses all major muscle groups. In general, you should hold stretches for at least 20 seconds
and perform five repetitions of each stretch.
Learn to listen to your body. If you do not feel adequately ‘stretched out’ after five repetitions,
continue to stretch until you are ready to begin your ride. Finally, don’t stretch to the point of
pain, which can cause a reflexive tightening of the muscle group. Instead, stretch until you feel a
slight pull in the involved muscles. Ideally, you should stretch both before and after a ride.

Question 62: What is a common behavior of novice bikers?

A. They rush into riding without preliminary exercise.
B. They ride their bikes without protective gear.
C. They breathe in and out irregularly.
D. They exert unnecessary power on the pedals.
Question 63: What will happen if proper warm-up and cool down is not practiced?
A. Muscles will tighten painfully. B. Stretches will be impossible to do.
C. Heartbeat will increase excessively. D. Muscles will be sore after the ride.
Question 64: When is stretching recommended?
A. Both before and after a ride B. When time permits
C. After riding a bike D. Before riding a bike

Questions 70 through 73 refer to the following report

The Postal System has announced that postal rates are going up yet again. On the first of the
year, the price of a first-class stamp will rise by 8 cents. Express mail and priority mail rates will
increase by 20 percent. The rates for third-class mail will also go up, while the special book rate
will be entirely eliminated. Special services such as Delivery Confirmation, Return Receipt, and
Overnight Delivery will also cost more, and it has even been announced that rental rates on post
office mail boxes will increase.
Everybody everywhere will be paying more for postal services next year, but one sector will
be particularly hard hit. Direct-marketing companies rely on the postal system to carry out their
business. These companies include catalog houses as well as sellers of mailing lists. Postal
services account for a significant percentage of their costs.
Direct-marketing Companies say the proposed increases in postal rates will hurt their industry
and will likely even drive some into bankruptcy. "Our business is carried out almost entirely
through the mail," says Esther Bergen, president of Mega Marketers, Inc., one of the largest
direct-marketing companies in the country. "Of course these increases will hurt us. They will
have a huge effect on the way we do business." Direct-marketing companies rely mostly on
third-class mail, which is expected to have rate increases as high as 30 percent. Will this mean
less junk mail arriving at your doorstep? "Possibly," says Bergen. "But the more likely outcome
is that the smaller companies, which will have more difficulty absorbing the costs of the rate
increases, will go under, while the larger companies will stay in business and take over the
markets now covered by the smaller companies. There will probably be some increases in prices
of mail-order products, but not enough to drive the average consumer away."

Question 70: The word "drive" in paragraph 3, line 2, is closest in meaning to

A. force B. remove C. operate D. transport
Question 71: According to the passage, who will be most affected by this change?
A. Stamp collectors B. Direct-marketing companies
C. Greeting card manufacturers D. Postal employees
Question 72: According to the passage, what rate do most direct-marketing companies use?
A. First class B. Third class C. Proposed rate D. Book rate
Question 73: What are the catalog houses in this report?
A. Direct-marketing companies B. First-class mail users
C. Financially stable companies D. Preferred postal clients

Questions 87 through 91 refer to the following notice

Good info on Motivation but...Attend the Seminar Instead
Before pulling out your credit card for a copy of this book, consider going to one of the
author’s seminars. He is a much more dynamic speaker than he is a writer and you’ll save a lot of
time and money. The book is 640 pages and costs $55 dollars. The seminar is just an hour and
only costs $20. The essential points of the book are covered in the seminar and you won’t have to
sift through a lot of boring details.
Revolutionary!
This is a very informative book based on research about what motivates us.
 The author compares motivation to different kinds of computer software. The first few
thousand years of the human race he calls Motivation 1.0, which was based on primary needs -
food, shelter, clothing and reproduction. Later we evolved into Motivation 2.0 - which was a
system of rewards and punishments.
But according to the author and other researchers, rewards and punishments are not
appropriate in the modern world. He argues that a new model is needed called Motivation 3.0.
The book goes into great detail about how Motivation 3.0 can transform schools, business,
and even parenting. There are loads of examples of real-life case studies where his ideas have
been implemented successfully.

Question 87: What is the purpose of these two texts?

A. To report research B. To review a product
C. To sell a product D. To request a refund
Question 88: What is the main idea of the first text?
A. It's smarter to go to the seminar. B. His book will help you save money.

C. History D. Computer Software
Question 90: What is motivation 3.0?
A. a new way of getting people to work B. a system of rewards and punishments
C. a new computer software D. the title of the book
Question 91: What's the difference between the two texts?
A. The first is positive, the second is negative. B. They are talking about the same books.
C. The first is negative, the second is positive. D. They are talking about different books.

Message

I hope your business trip is going well. Today's meeting went well for the most part, even
though it began 30 minutes late. Jorgen wasn't there at the beginning, so I used his time slot to
give my report. Jorgen finally arrived at 9:30 and gave his report. The board members were
surprised to hear that job applicants complain about our salary offers. Jerry's report really
shocked and upset the board. Fortunately, Madeira's report had the opposite effect. Everyone was
happy to hear about our great profits.

The technology upgrades report didn't go so well. Jerry had to leave the meeting before his
report because there was an Internet problem in the Electrical Engineering department. Because
of this, the presenter for our third agenda item read Jerry's report, and it was a bit confusing. She
didn't really know what she was talking about and couldn't answer questions satisfactorily. We
decided to ask Jerry to provide written answers to questions raised by board members during the
meeting.

Because we started late, we finished a half hour late, but we still had to hurry to finish within
the allotted time. We decided to make the next board meeting a half hour longer to give more
time for discussion and questions.
