Read the following passage and write the correct letter A, B, C, or D in the answer box to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
For many American university students, the weeklong spring break holiday means an endless party on a
sunny beach in Florida or Mexico. In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a permanent population of
around 36,000, more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and
party, making it the number one spring break destination in the United States.
A weeklong drinking binge is not for anyone, however, and a growing number of American university
students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them, joining or leading a group of
volunteers to travel locally or internationally and work to alleviate problems such as poverty,
homelessness, or environmental damage makes spring break a unique learning experience that university
students can feel good about.
Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding. While most
university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are
able to help people now. On the other hand, the accommodations are far from glamorous. Students often
sleep on the floor of a school or spend the week camping in tents. But students only pay around $250 for
meals and transportation, which is much less than some of their peers spend to travel to more traditional
spring break hotspots.
(“Active Skills for Reading: Book 2” by Neil J. Anderson – Thompson, 2007)
51. The article is mainly about ______.
A. sleeping on the floor or camping in tents
B. alternative spring break trips
C. drinking problems among university students
D. spring break in Florida and Mexico
52. How many university students travel to Panama Beach City every March for spring break?
A. around 500,000 B. around 10,000 C. around 36,000 D. around 50,000
53. The word “binge” in the second paragraph probably means ______.
A. refusing to do something B. having very little alcohol
C. doing too much of something D. studying for too long
54. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem that alternative spring break trips try to help
solve?
A. alcoholism B. environmental damage
C. poverty D. homelessness
55. The word “them” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. degrees B. projects C. people D. students

Read the following passage and write the correct letter A, B, C, or D in the answer box to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors the physical location of
the restaurant, e.g., rural or urban; the type of restaurant, e.g., informal or formal; and certain standards
that are more universal.
In other words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost
anywhere. Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may
sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience. For
example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to do the same in a
more luxurious setting. And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin
into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant, this behaviour would demonstrate a lack
of manners.
It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw
your food on the floor. The conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and
locations of restaurants determine etiquette appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurants.

56. What topic is this passage primarily concerned with?

A. rules of etiquette B. variable and universal standards of etiquette
C. the importance of good manners D. instruction in proper etiquette
57. According to the passage, which of the following is a universal rule of etiquette?
A. reading a magazine at a coffee shop B. tucking a napkin in your shirt
C. not throwing food on the floor D. eating in rustic settings
58. According to the passage, ______ requires sensitivity and experience.
A. learning the proper etiquette B. asking for instructions
C. knowing the type of restaurant D. knowing about an area
59. The word "sophisticated" in the passage could best be replaced by ______.
A. expensive B. cultured
C. famous D. exclusive
60. What is the author's main purpose in this passage?
A. to assist people in learning sophisticated manners
B. to compare sophisticated and rustic restaurants
C. to simplify rules of restaurant etiquette
D. to describe variations in restaurant manners
