Passage 2

Mobile phones are the items that a lot of
people are having today. However, do we really need to have a mobile phone by
our side?

We could start with the advantages of mobile
phones. There are many things that we could do with mobile phones. With the
advancement of technology, more and more features are being added to the mobile
phones which make them more useful. In addition to making calls, mobile phones
also support a wide variety of other services such as text messaging, email,
Internet access, business applications, gaming and photography. We can bring them
everywhere, and can be reached by others anytime. They make the world smaller,
bringing people together no matter where they are.

But we could have some risks when using our
mobile phones. We may have accidents when we use them while driving. Some studies
show that mobile phones can do harm to our bodies; and materials in mobile
phones could damage our environment.

Since there are so many risks, why do we
still have mobile phones? This is because these risks or disadvantages can be
overcome. For example, while we are driving we can easily pull up our car if we
really need to use the phone. Mobile phone manufacturers are reducing the
radiation of mobile phones to avoid health risks.

Though there are both pros and cons of using
mobile phones, we could easily see that there are more advantages than
disadvantages. Moreover, mobile phones are becoming cheaper, which might be
another reason why mobile phones are increasingly used today.

6. Which of the following
   functions is NOT mentioned in the passage?
7. Text messaging.
8. Camera.
9. GPS.
10. What risks might mobile phones
    cause?
11. Traffic accidents and health problems.
12. Environmental damage.
13. Both A and B.
14. What are mobile phone
    manufacturers doing to prevent mobile phone users from health risks?
15. They are reducing the radiation of mobile phones.
16. They are trying to persuade people to use mobile phones less.
17. They are developing new models of mobile phones.
18. Why do people still use mobile
    phones despite their disadvantages?
19. Because people don’t believe that mobile phones have any disadvantages.
20. Because the disadvantages of mobile phones can be avoided.
21. Because people cannot live without mobile phones.
22. According to the last
    paragraph, why are mobile phones increasingly being used today?
23. They are safer.
24. They have more functions.
25. They are becoming cheaper.

 

Passage 3

It is often difficult
for a man to be quite sure how much tax he ought to pay to the government
because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how
many children he has; whether he supports any relations, how much interest he
receives, how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on. All
this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is.

There was an artist who was always very careful to
pay the proper amount.

One year, after posting his check as usual, he began
to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and
paper, he found that he had not. He thought that he owed the government something.

He was just writing another check to send it to the
tax collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door.
Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds
from the tax collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and
that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.

11. According to the passage, to
    decide the exact amount of tax to be paid is ____________.
12. simple
13. easy
14. difficult
15. interesting
16. It is mentioned in the passage that one has to pay tax according
    to ____________.
17. how much education one has received
18. whether one is single or married
19. how old one’s children are
20. where one lives
21. The word “proper” in the second paragraph means __________.
22. small
23. big
24. right
25. wrong
26. After a lot of work, the artist thought that he had paid the
    government ____________.
27. less tax than he should have
28. more tax than he should have
29. as much tax as usual
30. just enough tax
31. Why did the tax collector send a letter to the artist?
32. To send him a new tax form.
33. To return the money overpaid.
34. To remind him of paying the tax.
35. To explain the rules of tax paying.

 

Passage 4

The invention
of telephone has greatly eased the communication among people, but callers
should be careful about when to make a phone call or it will cause
embarrassments.

It is not customary to telephone someone very early
in the morning in theUSA.
If someone is called very early in the morning, while he is shaving or having
breakfast, the time of the call indicates great importance of the matter which
requires immediate attention of the person called. The same implication is
attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. at night. If someone receives
a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s an urgency of life or death. The
time chosen for the call communicates its importance. Time plays a very
important role in our social life as you can imagine. In theUSAan
invitation should be sent to the guests in advance because guests usually
believe that they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party
is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not always
necessarily true of the case all over the world. In some other countries, it
may be taken stupid to make an appointment too far in advance because plans
made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The concept of time
varies in different regions of the world. Thus, misunderstandings are sometimes
inevitable between men of different cultural backgrounds that treat time
differently. Promptness is valued highly inAmerica, for example. A lack of
promptness is regarded as being impolite or not being fully responsible. In theUSit would be incredible to keep a business partner or a guest waiting for an
hour, and it would be too impolite and unacceptable by their social etiquettes.
A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to give some words of explanation to
the people waiting, though he might not complete his sentence.

16. What is the main idea of this passage?
17. It is not
    customary to telephone someone in the morning or in sleeping hours in theUS.
18. The role of
    time in social life over the world..
19. If people
    are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in
    theUS.
20. Not every
    country treats the concept of time as the same.
21. What does it mean according to the
    passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours?
22. A matter of
    work.
23. A matter of
    life or death.
24. You want to
    see him or her.
25. You want to
    make an appointment with him or her.
26. Which of the following time is proper
    if you want to make an appointment with your friend?
27. At 7:00
    a.m.
28. At 4:00
    p.m.
29. At the
    midnight.
30. At 4:00
    a.m.
31. Which of the following statements is
    true according to the passage?
32. In theUSAguests tend
    to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is
    expended only three or four days before the party date.
33. There id no
    misunderstanding between people from different cultures about the concept of
    time.
34. It may be
    considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in theUSA.
35. Being on
    time is highly valued inAmerica.
36. From the passage we can infer that
    ____________.
37. it’s a matter
    of life or death if you call someone in daytime
38. the meaning
    of time differs in different parts of the world
39. it makes no
    difference in theUSwhether you are early or late for a business party
40. if a person
    is late for a date, he needn’t make any explanation
