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 39 to 43.
Universities love overseas students – they are clever and hardworking, they bring different cultures to seminars
and student life and they pay their way. In Britain, universities are getting ready to enroll more overseas students. The
British Council has published a report predicting that overseas student numbers could soar to more than 800,000 by
2018. In 2010, figures put the total at over 400,000 international students out of two and a half million students in UK
higher education and it is clear that this influx is having an enormous impact on universities and colleges.
These students bring welcome fees, of course, but they are also likely to be very intelligent students who inject
new cultural influences and bring changes to the old university systems. Their demand for vocational subjects such as
business, biotechnology and information technology, rather than traditional academic subjects, is affecting what is
taught as well.
The impressive expansion of foreign students has already had a significant impact on higher education. Overseas
student numbers, including European Union students, have risen from 270,000 in 2002 to 400,000 in 2010. During this
time the number from China jumped more than tenfold, and numbers from India have been going up. In contrast, the
number of students from other countries has fallen, reflecting their governments’ efforts to educate more of their young
people at home, as well as competition from Australia and the USA. But as the Asian tiger economies expand their own
universities, the good news for places like the London School of Economics is that there are more and more graduates
looking to improve their qualifications or to pursue research in their subjects.
Question 34. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to avoid culture shock when living in Western countries?
B. How international students are changing Western university life
C. How to become an overseas student?
D. The decline in the number of overseas students at Western universities

Question 36. According to the paragraph 2, overseas students can help to .

C. introduce new changes to the old education system D. increase the demand for core subjects

Question 38. According to the passage, which of the following is true?

C. The number of foreign students from India has fallen over a specific period of time.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet indicating the correct
answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
A majority of people think that their dream job is too hard and competitive to achieve, and believe that it is all a
matter of luck. All this is true actually, but why should that stop anyone from trying to get the job they really want? A
really determined person will always succeed and, in many ways, needs other people to give up trying so that he or she
can succeed.
Many job seekers feel limited by the choices they made at college or university. They may think that because they
studied marketing, all they can ever do is work in marketing. All the evidence shows that, in fact, employers are less
interested in acquired knowledge than the ability to think and learn. It is also very difficult to predict the needs of society.
The needs of employers and the economy can change very quickly, and often unexpectedly.
Of course, if it is a very tough time economically, it is hard to find employment straight after university, but it is
by no means impossible. It might take several months longer to find a job after graduating, but there is work out there.
Never think about the other people going for the same jobs. It may be human nature to compare your progress to your
peers, but perhaps the best advice would be to try not to. Be focused on what you want and how you are going to get it.
After all, it may appear that a friend who has a really well-paid job is doing well, but how do you know what their job
is actually like? They may be working 12-hour days, have an unreasonable boss, or be stressed out trying to meet
unrealistic targets.
Have a plan in place, even if it is a sketchy one. Have both short-term and long-term aims. Always think that with
hard work, dedication, a willingness to put yourself out, and a bit of luck, you could get your dream job. A really key
piece of advice is never to get downhearted by rejection because there will probably be a lot. You can achieve your
dream job, whatever it is. You must never give up. prepared to work hard and for long hours without necessarily climbing
up the career ladder. There is a lot to be said for learning your 'trade' from the bottom up. At the start, there will probably
be little money, but it will be worth it in the end. The best jobs are not supposed to be easy- that is what makes them
challenging. And if you like a challenge, just keep your head down and go for it.

answer to each of the questions from 9 to 13.
Although bear-like, koalas are not bears. They are mammals, so feed their young milk and are marsupials, which
means that their babies are born immature and they develop further in the safety of a pouch. They are tree- dwelling,
herbivorous marsupials, which average about 9kg in weight and live on gum leaves. Their fur is thick and usually ash
grey with a tinge of brown in places. Koalas in the southern parts of Australia are considerably larger and have thicker
fur than those in the north. This is thought to be an adaptation to keep them warm in the colder southern winters.
Younger breeding females usually give birth to one joey each year, depending on a range of factors. The joey
stays in its mother's pouch for about 6 or 7 months, drinking only milk. After venturing out of the pouch, the joey
rides on its mother's abdomen or back, although it continues to return to her pouch for milk until it is too big to fit
inside. The joey leaves its mother's home range between 1 and 3 years old, depending on when the mother has her
next joey.
Koalas are mostly nocturnal. They sleep for part of the night and also sometimes move about in the daytime.
They often sleep for up to 18-20 hours each day. There is a myth that koalas sleep a lot because they get drunk' on
gum leaves. However, most of their time is spent sleeping because it requires a lot of energy to digest their toxic,
fibrous, low-nutrition diet and sleeping is the best way to conserve energy.
The koala gets its name from an ancient Aboriginal word meaning "no drink" because it receives over 90% of its
hydration from the eucalyptus leaves (also known as gum leaves) it eats, and only drinks when ill or times when there
is not enough moisture in the leaves i.e. during droughts, etc.

C. They give birth to one joey biannually.
D. They don't breed during the day.

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.
Due to the nature of our business, it's sometimes necessary that our staff work at night. Night shifts can be
particularly demanding on employee wellbeing and health. This can include disruption to the body clock, fatigue,
sleeping difficulties, disturbed appetite and digestion, reliance on sedatives or stimulants, social and domestic
problems and other symptoms of ill health. To combat this, we do not have employees on night shifts for extended
periods. This is because workers’ bodies will just have started to adapt to the new pattern.
 We find rotation shifts every two to three days are best for workers and weekly or fortnightly rotations are the
least comfortable for workers. Forward-rotating programs (moving from morning to afternoon to night shifts) are
better than backward-rotating ones in terms of sleep loss and tiredness.
If someone works at night, there are rules covering the hours they work. Night time working hours are usually
between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. – but this can be flexible and should be discussed between you and us. To qualify as night
working, the night time period must be no more than 8 hours long and include the period between midnight and 5 a.m.
Any of our staff under 18 years are not allowed to be night workers.
We must make sure that you don't work more than an average of 8 hours in a 24-hour period. By law, you
can't opt out of this working limit. We must also keep records of any night workers’ working hours to prove they
aren't exceeding night working limits, and we must keep the records for at least 2 years. These records can be
inspected by you at any time on request.
Our usual limits and regulations for night workers do not apply to self-employed workers. This does not include
agency workers, who are treated as normal workers with us. If you agree to working at night for us, the agreement will
be put in writing. If you are to begin working at night, we must perform a health assessment before you become a
night worker and on a regular basis after that. Usually, this is just done with a questionnaire, which was created in
collaboration with qualified health professionals. If there are any health questions regarding your health and night
work, we will offer you a follow-up examination by a health professional if you still wish to work nights.
Question 29: Which of the following could best serve as the topic of the passage?

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 39 to 43.
Culture is the lens with which we evaluate everything around us; we evaluate what is proper or improper, normal
or abnormal, through our culture. If we are immersed in a culture that is unlike our own, we may experience culture
shock and become disoriented when we come into contact with a fundamentally different culture. People naturally use
their own culture as the standard to judge other cultures; however, having our own judgment could lead us to
discriminate other cultural values which are different from our own because we do not understand them.
Cultural diversity is important because our country, workplaces, and school increasingly consist of various
cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. We can learn from one another, but first we must have a level of understanding
about each other in order to facilitate collaboration and cooperation. Learning about other cultures helps us understand
different perspectives within the world in which we live and helps dispel negative stereotypes and personal biases
about different groups.
In addition, cultural diversity helps us recognize and respect "ways of being" that are not necessarily our own, so
that we interact with others, we can build bridges to trust, respect, and understanding across cultures. Furthermore, this
diversity makes our country a more interesting place to live, as people from diverse cultures contribute language
skills, new ways of thinking, new knowledge, and different experiences.
Question 39: Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. How can we learn from culture? B. What is the function of culture?
C. How do people use own culture? D. Why is cultural diversity a "good thing"?
Question 40: The word "which" in paragraph 1 refers to ________
A. cultural values B. other cultures C. judgment D. standard

C. Valuating everything D. Contacting with a different culture
Question 42: The word "dispel" in paragraph 2 mostly means ________
A. realize B. remove C. contain D. discuss
Question 43: According to the passage, which of the following do people from diverse cultures NOT contribute to a
country?
A. new ways of thinking B. a more interesting place
C. language skills D. different experiences
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 44 to 50
If you go back far enough, everything lived in the sea. At various points in evolutionary history, enterprising
individuals within many different animal groups moved out onto the land, sometimes even to the most parched
deserts, taking their own private seawater with them in blood and cellular fluids. In addition to the reptiles, birds,
mammals and insects which we see all around us, other groups that have succeeded out of water include scorpions,
snails, crustaceans such as woodlice and land crabs, millipedes and centipedes, spiders and various worms. And we
mustn’t forget the plants, without whose prior invasion of the land, none of the other migrations could have happened.
Moving from water to land involved a major redesign of every aspect of life, including breathing and
reproduction. Nevertheless, a good number of thoroughgoing land animals later turned around, abandoned their hard-
earned terrestrial re-tooling, and returned to the water again. Seals have only gone part way back. They show us what
the intermediates might have been like, on the way to extreme cases such as whales and dugongs. Whales (including
the small whales we call dolphins) and dugongs, with their close cousins, the manatees, ceased to be land creatures
altogether and reverted to the full marine habits of their remote ancestors. They don’t even come ashore to breed.
They do, however, still breathe air, having never developed anything equivalent to the gills of their earlier
marine incarnation. Turtles went back to the sea a very long time ago and, like all vertebrate returnees to the water,
they breathe air. However, they are, in one respect, less fully given back to the water than whales or dugongs, for
turtles still lay their eggs on beaches.
There is evidence that all modem turtles are descended from a terrestrial ancestor which lived before most of the
dinosaurs. There are two key fossils called Proganochelys quenstedti and Palaeochersis talampayensis dating from
early dinosaur times, which appear to be close to the ancestry of all modem turtles and tortoise. You might wonder
how we can tell whether fossil animals lived in land or in water, especially if only fragments are found. Sometimes it’s
obvious. Ichthyosaurs were reptilian contemporaries of the dinosaurs, with fins and streamlined bodies. The fossils
look like dolphins and they surely lived like dolphins, in the water. With turtles it is a little less obvious. One way to
tell is by measuring the bones of their forelimbs.

Question 44: Which of the following best serves as the main idea for the passage?
A. The relationship between terrestrial species and marine creatures.
B. The reasons why species had to change their living place.
C. The evidences of the time marine animals moved to land.
D. The evolution of marine species in changing places to live.
Question 45: As mentioned in paragraph 2, which of the following species returned to the water least completely?
A. Manatees B. Whales C. Dugongs D. Turtles
Question 46: The word “ceased” in paragraph 2 mostly means _______.
A. got familiar B. soon became
C. stopped happening or existing D. began to happen or exist
Question 47: The word “incarnation” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by _______.
A. evolution B. ancestor C. natural selection D. embodiment
Question 48: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Apart from breathing and breeding, marine species were expected to change nothing to live on land.
B. Seals are able to live on land and in the water.
C. Some terrestrial habits were remained when the species reverted to water life.
D. Proganochelys quenstedti and Palaeochersis talampayensis appear to be close to the ancestry of all modern
turtles and tortoise.
Question 49: What does the word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. dolphins B. fragments C. ichthyosaurs D. turtles
Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. it’s clear to determine the living places of all species through the fragments found
B. the body features of the fossil animals help scientists to distinguish the terrestrial and marine species
C. turtles’ ancestor and dinosaurs became extinct contemporarily

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 39 to 43.
Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know. Although the whale is very
huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water. Whales have tails that end like flippers. With just a
gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The skin of a whale is so smooth that it does not create any friction that can
slow the whale down. A whale’s breathing hole is located on the top of its head, so it can breathe without having to
completely push its head out of the water. Whales are protected from the cold seawater by body fat that is called
blubber.
Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviors, they are more similar to humans than fish. They live in
family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters. The young
stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years. Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured members; instead,
they cradle them.
When whales are in danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them. One such case occurred in
1988, when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to winter and the sea had begun to freeze over.
Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice was a great danger to them. All they had then
was a tiny hole in the ice for them to breathe through. Volunteers from all over soon turned up to help these creatures.
They cut holes in the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales. These holes would also serve as guides for
the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters.
Question 39: Which of the following best describes the main idea of this passage?
A. Successful attempts to rescue whales all over the world.
B. Some remarkable similarities of whales to humans.
C. Whales as the largest, gentlest but vulnerable creatures.
D. Whales as the only animals to live in warm water.
Question 40: Whales can move easily in water thanks to their______.
A. tail and blubber B. size and head C. tail and skin D. skin and head
Question 41: According to paragraph 2, the author mentions all of the following to show that whales “are more
similar to humans” EXCEPT _______.
A. they do not desert the ill or injured members
B. they do not migrate from cooler to warmer waters
C. they live in family groups and travel in groups
D. the young stay with their parents for almost fifteen years
Question42 : The word “tiny” in paragraph 3 probably means________ .
A. very small B. very deep C. very fat D. very ugly
Question 43: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to___________.

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 44 to 50.
Nuclear family, also called elementary family, in sociology and anthropology, is a group of people who are
united by ties of partnership and parenthood and consisting of a pair of adults and their socially recognized children.
Typically, but not always, the adults in a nuclear family are married. Although such couples are most often a man and
a woman, the definition of the nuclear family has expanded with the advent of same-sex marriage. Children in a
nuclear family may be the couple’s biological or adopted offspring.
Thus defined, the nuclear family was once widely held to be the most basic and universal form of social
organization. Anthropological research, however, has illuminated so much variability of this form that it is safer to
assume that what is universal is a “nuclear family complex” in which the roles of husband, wife, mother, father, son,
daughter, brother, and sister are embodied by people whose biological relationships do not necessarily conform to the
Western definitions of these terms. In matrilineal societies, for example, a child may be the responsibility not of his
biological genitor but of his mother’s brother, who fulfills the roles typical of Western fatherhood.
Closely related in form to the predominant nuclear-family unit are the conjugal family and the consanguineal
family. As its name implies, the conjugal family is knit together primarily by the marriage tie and consists of mother,
father, their children, and some close relatives. The consanguineal family, on the other hand, typically groups itself
around a unlineal descent group known as a lineage, a form that reckons kinship through either the father’s or the
mother’s line but not both. Whether a culture is patrilineal or matrilineal, a consanguineal family comprises lineage
relatives and consists of parents, their children, and their children’s children. Rules regarding lineage exogamy are
common in these groups; within a given community, marriages thus create cross-cutting social and political ties
between lineages.
The stability of the conjugal family depends on the quality of the marriage of the husband and wife, a relationship
that is more emphasized in the kinds of industrialized, highly mobile societies that frequently demand that people
reside away from their kin groups. The consanguineal family derives its stability from its corporate nature and its
permanence, as its relationships emphasize the perpetuation of the line.
Question 44: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The definition of nuclear family B. The types of nuclear family
C. The component of nuclear family D. The relationship of nuclear family
Question 45: According to the passage, the following are members forming a nuclear family, EXCEPT _________.

B. The conjugal family depends on marriage to knit its members and close relatives.
C. The consanguineous family relies on both father’s and mother’s line to form its group.
D. The consanguineous family only consists parents and their children.
Question 48: The word “lineage” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by ___________.
A. ancestry B. generation C. insertion D. incorporation
Question 49: What does the word “its” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. the permanence’s B. the nature’s

B. Members in each family must preserve their family’s basement to protect their stability.
C. The permanence of the consanguineous family may emphasize its line in society.
D. The industrialized society probably causes many difficulties for the consanguineous family.
