Passage l
Th is is a short passage about the wildebeest migration.
Every year around April , many thousands of wildebeest gather together on the Serengeti Plains in Tanzania in preparation for their long journey northwards. Although it is often referred to as ‘The Migration' , this great movement of animals is an endless year - round trek dictated by the seasons and the search for fresh grass and water.
By early July the long straggling columns of wildebeest , along with large numbers of zebra , begin to reach the Mara Reserve. They can enter anywhere and once inside their movements are erratic according to where forage is best. However, the herds do have one or two favorite river crossing places and after the Mara grasses have been gazed to the ground , they use these to move northwards out of the reserve.
Weak animals rarely survive the river crossings. Many are crushed to death by the sheer weight of numbers and some are eaten by huge crocodiles.
In late September. the herds begin to re- form for the journey back to the Serengeti
Plains. They arrive three months later and begin calving.
Read Passage 1 and decide whether the following statements are True or False.
1. In April the wildebeest travel from the Mara Reserve to the Serengeti.
2. The reason for ‘ T he Migration' is search for food.
3. In early June , the wildebeest reach the Mara Reserve.
4. The wildebeest' s movements are irregular when they go into the Mara Reserve.
5. At the end of the year , the wildebeest return to the Serengeti Plains and give birth to calves.
Passage 2
This is a short passage about the monster and Frankenstein ?
Some time later , Frankenstein received a letter from his father telling him that his
young brother. William. had been murdered. All the family was shocked when Justine Moritz , the boy' s nanny , was accused of the crime and Frankenstein was horrified when she was executed for the murder because he felt that his monster had done it , not Justine. Throughout the following months , Frankenstein became more and more depressed.
Then , one day when he was traveling in the mountains , trying to forget his troubles , Frankenstein suddenly met the monster. He shouted furiously at him , accusing him of the crime, and telling him to stay away from him and his family. But the monster insisted on talking to his creator and told him the sad story of his life since he had run away from the laboratory where Frankenstein had made him.
The monster said that he had tried , in vain , to attach himself to humans , but nobody would have anything to do with him , because they found him so ugly and frightening. He told Frankenstein that even when he had saved a child who was drowning in a river , nobody thanked him. In fact , the father shot him in the shoulder because he was afraid of him.
The monster became more and more lonely and more and more unhappy. Then , by chance , he came across William playing in a filed and he decided to capture the boy and try to make him become his friend. He took hold of William and tried to embrace him, but the boy screamed and , in an attempt to silence him, the monster held him by the throat and , accidentally , strangled him.

Passage 3
Clone myself. I can start all over again
1 The recent successful cloning of ‘Do lly , ' a sheep , has stunned the world.
2 I was excited about the idea of having a clone of myself in the beginning: I might start
life all over again and redress the mistakes made in the past , and then I could live longer to see a better future.
3 It is a dream that has fascinated so many people for so long , as evidenced by numerous
popular science fiction stories featuring this theme and countless literary works on the
alter-ego.
4 For one thing , Eve is said to have been made from one of Adam' s ribs. The legend of
her beginning might be regarded as the earliest example of cloning. So I am somewhat
surprised to see governments worldwide reacting so negatively when scientists announced
that they have made substantial progress in this field of science.
5 Due to many limitations , the technique can' t be widely applied in the near future , but
under the influence of confusion and fear , people are already speculating about cloning's far
- reaching consequences and taking precautionary measures against the possible misuses of
the new technological breakthrough.
6 ‘People fear that the world would be in a mess if human beings are cloned some day , ' said Zhai Zhonghe, a well- known biologist and academician at the Chinese Academy of Sc iences.
7 Ian Wilmut , the embryologist who led the Roslin Institute team in Britain that
successfully cloned ‘ Dolly ' from a single cell on another ewe' s udder , announced that
cloning humans was ‘ probably ' possible.
8 ‘A single terminal cell is sufficient for duplicating the whole animal , that' s something
new , ' said Zhai. Genetically , the reproduction from a single cell is a complete copy of the
tissue donor.
9 Meanwhile , US scientists have declared that they have successfully cloned a monkey ,
using an eight-cell embryo , marking the first time that an animal closely resembling humans
has ever been cloned.
10 Many governments in the world , in a show of moral responsibility , have moved quickly
to discourage this new development.
11 The United States banned the federal funding of cloning , and Germany called for a
world- wide ban on cloning human beings.
12 Danish scientists said they were halting experiments pending a full debate on the issue.
The It alian government said human cloning should be outlawed and announced a temporary
ban in It aly on all forms of human or animal experiments linked with cloning. In China,
many legislators attending the Eighth National People' s Congress were soliciting opinions
from scientists.
13 Chinese scientists suggested that legislation is necessary to control potential dangers
that may arise from the newly developed cloning technology , and many have proposed that
laws be approved to control t
14 Technological breakthroughs always create new taboos and give an insight into new dimensions of human beings , yet somehow human beings are able to adjust their mindset to
the new reality after an initial wave of panic , just as they have come to terms with
contraception and artificial fertilization.
15 If the new technology can be widely applied , it could be used to save endangered
animals , cultivate better species and replicate transgenic animals of medical and scientific
value.

Part Three True or False
When I Was in America
For most people the holiday season is a time of joy and family reunion. For me , it is a
time of mixed emotions - for I have been away from my family in Iran while studying in the United States. Rather than lock myself in my loneliness , I have tried each Christmas to learn more about the culture of the country and know more about my American friends.
A tie-clasp I still wear reminds me repeatedly of the memorable Christmas of 1989. All
my classmates had eagerly looked forward to the holiday. I had no money for the vacation.
My check from home had not arrived on schedule because of the crush of holiday mai l. One day I walked to the campus to pick up my mail at the International Students office.
The all important check still had not arrived. Maria , a Mexican-American student working as a temporary secretary in the department must have seen me as I left the mailbox with disappointment showing on my face. She invited me to spend Christmas Eve with her family. I accepted all too gladly.
Maria's family was not rich. They lived in a modest small house. Maria introduced me
to her parents , her aunt and her sister , who welcomed me warmly. Maria' s father could only speak Spanish , so he talked to me while Maria's sister acted as an interpreter. The kind look in his eyes and his relaxed behavior made me feel right at home.
The dinner was very elaborate. Each dish had a special feature , sauce and blend of seasonings. Maria' s aunt ate while standing at a corner of the small , old table. I felt a little uncomfortable , knowing that I was occupying her place , but her gesture expressed the sincere hospitality with which Maria' s whole family received me. After dinner , Maria chose a small package from under the Christmas tree and handed it to me. Inside I found the tieclasp I still use to this day.
Looking at the tie - clasp , I knew I would always regard it as a memento of an unforgettable evening of good friendship during a hard and lonely period of my life.

Part Four Short Answer
Passage 5
World AIDS Day
December first is World AIDS Day. The message at events this year is "Live and Let
Li ve. " The aim is to end improper treatment of people with HIV and AIDS. Experts say such discrimination remains a barrier to prevention and treatment. The United Nations reported last week that the spread of AIDS shows no signs of easing. It says an estimated 40 million people are living with the HIV virus. These include 2. 5 million children.
Worldwide , the report said that 6 million people became infected with HIV and 5 million
died in 2010 - the most ever.
Doctor Peter Piot heads the United Nations AIDS program. He says AIDS is spreading
fastest in Eastern Europe , especially Russia. The Caribbean continues to experience high levels of infection. And , he says there could be major increases in China and India.
One out of five adults in southern Africa is living with HIV or AIDS. So ut hern Africa
remains the worst affected part of the world. But Doctor Piot says there is a sharp increase in parts of Western Africa , such as in Cameroon and Nigeria , and in parts of Southern Asia and Southeast Asia , such as India and Thailand.
Sexual contact , infected blood and the sharing of injection needles can all spread the
AIDS virus. AIDS was first discovered in the 1980s. Now , more women than men become infected with HIV. And Doctor Piot warns that the ability of countries to provide services has dropped as many health workers become infected.
The UN says South Africa had more people with HIV at the end of last year than any
other country. It had an estimated 5. 3 million cases , about eleven percent of the population. Last month South Africa announced a plan to provide anti - retroviral medicines for free. These drugs restrain the spread of the virus.
South Africa says it hopes to have anti-AIDS centers open in every health district within
a year and in every local area within five years. The plan also includes money for public education and training for health care workers.
Until now , the government has said the drugs cost too much and can cause harm. However, the cost of three AIDS drugs taken as a combination will be cut by almost onethird. This will happen under an agreement negotiated by the Clinton Foundation. Former American President Bill Clinton says that if the So uth African program is successful , other nations could follow it.

La st Se ptember , when he saw in the China Youth News a notice recruiting volunteers to go to poor areas to help local people eradicate poverty, Cai suddenly found it was something he .r eally wanted to do and immediately applied. Two months later, Cai became a member of the first group of volunteers in the Poverty Relief Relay Program , and , given a year's leave by his company, went to Jingle Co unty in Shanxi Province with 21 other members.
The Poverty Relief Relay Program was launched by the China Young Volunteers Association (CYVA) in order to recruit volunteers from all walks of life to work in poor areas and share their experience in education , medicine , science and technology. Each group of volunteers puts in one year of service.
CYVA was founded in 1994 , aimed at motivating young people to provide voluntary
service for the public good. As the Fi rst and largest organization o￡its kind in China, it has
had an extensive impact on social welfare programs in China.
The Poverty Relief Relay Program was conceived in June of 1996 , when the CYVA investigated several rural counties in northern China and finally chose Jingle as the first
target for the program. In September, a notice to recruit volunteers was published in several newspapers , requiring participants to have an educational level higher than junior college and qualifications for educational , or medical. or technical work. In addition. volunteers had to
have their employers' approval for a year' s leave and a guarantee of being able to resume employment after a year' s service. Usually, these volunteers have their salary suspen~ed
until they retur n.
To the great surprise of the CYVA, their ads received a heavy response. In the half
month following the publication of the notice, the association received more than 200 letters and telephone calls , and 171 applications were processed. Twenty volunteers were to make
up the first group. but ∞nsequently two more members were added. According to a survey conducted by a local newspaper in Beijing , most young people who had heard of the program expressed a willingness to participate.

Questions 21…30 are based on Passage 3.
Too often we just say the words "I' m sorry" and expect that to be good enough. It' s
not. Thereare some very important steps to take for a truly heartfelt apology to be
effective. Here's how
ADMIT YO U' WERE WRONG 一The first and most important step is to admit that
you have done something wrong. To say you are sorryand not admit wrongdoing is empty
and the injured party will not believe you.
ACKNOWLEDGE THE DAMAGE DONE - The second important step' is to
acknowledge the injuryyou have caused the other person(s). Have you hurt their feelings. damaged property. and caused them some difficulty? Be specific and tell them that you know what you did to them.
ACCPET THE CONSEQUENCES - Accept complete responsibility for what you did
as well as the consequences. The consequences could be personal. it could be financial. or it could be something else. Take your part and learn from it. Do n ' t try to turn it around at
this point and look for their part in the problem (i f any) or try to get them to say they' re
sorry. This is about YOU and YOUR actions. not theirs.
712
ASK FOR FORGIVENESS - Forgiveness doesn't mean. That is'something
that few people can truly do. It means, "I give up my right to hurt you back or hold this
over you in the future".
CHANGE BEHAVIOUR IN THE FUTURE - Assure them that YO Ii will make the
proper changes in the future and that you should keep this problem from happening again. Words with no action are pretty meaningless. 1￡you promise to change , and the other person sees you change, you can repair your relationship and rebuild trust.
The following statements are True or False.
21. Many people think just saying "I'm sorry" is enough for an apology.
22. People needto take a few important steps to make a truly heartfelt apology
effective.
23. The first and most important step is to admit that you have done everything wrong.
24. The second important step is to accept complete responsibility for what both parties
did.
25. You shouldbe specificwhen you acknowledge the injury you havecaused the other person(s).
26. Do n ' t try to look for the other person' s faults in the problem.
27. Forgetting doesn't mean .forgivenes~. That is something that few people cantruly
do.
28: Forgiveness means giving up the right to hurt back or hold it over others.
29. Only when words are given with action could they be meaningfu l.
30. Once trust is broken between people, it could never get repaired.

Passage 4
The Democratic Party is one of two major political parties in the United States, the
other being the Republican Party. The Democratic Party is the oldest political party in the 713
{J nitedS tates and arguably the oldest in the world, which traces its origins to the Democratic Republican Party. During the administration of President George Washington, Thomas Jefferson was the first Se cretary of State. Jefferson and several of his friends and partners became dissatisfied with the policies of the governmen t. They formed a political association that came to be called the Democratic Republican Party.
In 1829, Andrew Jackson became the first Democratic President. Since that time. the issues of the nation and the ideas of the party have changed. Bo th the major parties have liberal and conservative members, but in general people consider the De mocrats today more liberal than the Republicans. Democrats often want the government to establish social programs for people in need , such as the poor , the unemployed, and the elderly. They usually say they believe in equal rights for women and minorities. and they oppose nuclear weapons and too much military spending. The symbol of the De mocratic Partyis the donkey.
The Republican Party began in 1854 over the issue of slavery. Republicans opposed slavery. The first Republican candidate to become President was Abraham Li ncol n. After the Civil War , Republicans got interested in farm , land , and business issues. In general , Republicans vote more conservatively than Democrats. They want government to support big business but riot control the lives of citizens. They often oppose government spending for social programs but support military spending. The party symbol is the elephant.

Text 2 Do you remember all those years when scientists argued that smoking would kill us but thedoubters insisted that we didn‘t know for sure? That the evidence was inconclusive, the scienceuncertain? That the antismoking lobby was out to destroy our way of life and the government shouldstay out of the way? Lots of Americans bought that nonsense, and over three decades, some 10million smokers went to early graves. There are upsetting parallels today, as scientists in one wave after another try to awaken us tothe growing threat of global warming. The latest was a panel from the National Academy ofSciences, enlisted by the White House, to tell us that the Earth‘s atmosphere is definitely warmingand that the problem is largely man-made. The clear message is that we should get moving to protectourselves. The president of the National Academy, Bruce Alberts, added this key point in the prefaceto the panel‘s report: ―Science never has all the answers. But science does provide us with the bestavailable guide to the future, and it is critical that our nation and the world base important policieson the best judgments that science can provide concerning the future consequences of presentactions.‖Just as on smoking, voices now come from many quarters insisting that the science about globalwarming is incomplete, that it‘s OK to keep pouring fumes into the air until we know for sure. Thisis a dangerous game: by the time 100 percent of the evidence is in, it may be too late. With the risksobvious and growing, a prudent people would take out an insurance policy now. Fortunately, the White House is starting to pay attention. But it‘s obvious that a majority of thepresident‘s advisers still don‘t take global warming seriously. Instead of a plan of action, theycontinue to press for more research —a classic case of ―paralysis by analysis.‖ To serve as responsible stewards of the planet, we must press forward on deeper atmosphericand oceanic research. But research alone is inadequate. If the Administration won‘t take thelegis lative initiative, Congress should help to begin fashioning conservation
