Dear Mavis:

     Please accept my heartiest congratulations on your recent selection for inclusion on the short-list for the NY City Writers Prize.
    I just heard the news today from Francis Goodspeed when she dropped into my office with the marked up proofs for her latest collection of stories. As you can imagine, Fran was very excited too!
   I am so proud of you. As you know, I have been a longtime promoter of your work, and in my mind it's about time they finally recognized your talent. In fact, I believe that your selection for the NYCWP short-list is long overdue.
    I have already read two of the other books that are short-listed and in my opinion they don't hold a candle to your "No Turning Back". I will read the other three books nominated and let you know what I think. Although, I could hardly be considered an objective reviewer on this one.
    Once again Mavis, my sincere congratulations on your nomination. Just being nominated for the NYCWP is an honor in itself. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you until they announce the winner on March 1st.

                                                                                                                        
Sincere best wishes,

Singapore is made up of not just one island but a main island with 63 surrounding islets. The main island has a total land area of 682 square km.

     One of the world's major oil refining and distribution centres, Singapore is a major supplier of electronic components and a leader in shipbuilding and repairing. It has also become one of the most important financial centres of Asia, with more than 130 banks. Business dealings are facilitated by Singapore's superb communications network which links the nation to the rest of the world via satellite, 24-hour telegraph and telephone systems.
      Singapore's strategic location, excellent facilities, fascinating cultural contrasts and tourist attractions contribute to its success as a leading destination for both business and pleasure.

The following text is for questions 27 to 30

It was a windy day. 
     The mailman barely made it to the front door. When the door opened, Mrs. Pennington said, "hello", but, before she had a real chance to say "thank you", the mail blew out of the mailman's hands, into the house and the front door slammed in his face. Mrs. Pennington ran to pick up the mail. 
     "Oh my," she said. 
     Tommy was watching the shutters open and then shut, open and then shut. 
     "Mom," he said, "may I go outside?" 
     "Be careful," she said. "It's so windy today." 
     Tommy crawled down from the window-seat and ran to the door. He opened it with a bang. The wind blew fiercely and snatched the newly recovered mail from Mrs. Pennington's hands and blew it even further into the house. 
     "Oh my," she said again. Tommy ran outside and the door slammed shut. 
     Outside, yellow, gold, and red leaves were leaping from swaying trees, landing on the roof, jumping off the roof, and then chasing one another down the street in tiny whirlwinds of merriment. 
     Tommy watched in fascination. 
     "If I was a leaf, I would fly clear across the world," Tommy thought and then ran out into the yard among the swirl of colors. 
     Mrs. Pennington came to the front porch. 
     "Tommy, I have your jacket. Please put it on." 
     However, there was no Tommy in the front yard. 
     "Tommy?" 
     Tommy was a leaf. He was blowing down the street with the rest of his play-mates. 
     A maple leaf came close-by, touched him and moved ahead. Tommy met him shortly, brushed against him, and moved further ahead. They swirled around and around, hit cars and poles, flew up into the air and then down again. 
     "This is fun," Tommy thought. 
     The maple leaf blew in front of him. It was bright red with well-defined veins. The sun-light shone through it giving it a brilliance never before seen by a little boy's eyes. 
     "Where do you think we are going?" Tommy asked the leaf. 
     "Does it matter?" the leaf replied. "Have fun. Life is short." 
     "I beg to differ," an older leaf said suddenly coming beside them. "The journey may be short, but the end is the beginning." 
     Tommy pondered this the best a leaf could ponder. 
     "Where do we end up?" 
     "If the wind blows you in that direction," the old leaf said, "you will end up in the city dump."

The following text is for questions 31 to 34.  

When winter arrives, some people get sad, even suicidal.
            Doctors have recently started to study the causes of a medical disorder which they have appropriately  named SAD, or seasonal affective disorder. People who suffer from SAD become very depressed during the winter months. Their depression appears to be the result of a decrease in the amount of sunlight they are exposed to. Doctors theorize that decreased sunlight affects the production of melatonin, a hormone manufactured in the brain, and serotonin, a chemical that helps transmit nerve impulses. Depression may result from the ensuing imbalance of these two substances in the body. Also, doctors believe that a decrease in the amount of sunlight the body receives may cause a disturbance in the body’s natural clock, which could, in turn, result in symptoms such as listlessness, oversleeping, weight gain, anxiety, and irritability-all symptoms of depression.
            Since absence of light seems to be the cause of this disorder, a daily dose of light appears to be the cure. Doctors advise patients to sit in front of a special light box which simulates natural light for a few hours every day.

The following text is for questions 35 to 38.

            The United States and Canada will someday join the 95 percent of the world that uses  the metric rather than the English system of measurement. No longer will north American schoolchildren have to memorize that there are 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard. Inches will become centimeters, pounds will become kilograms, quarts will become liters, and degrees Fahrenheit will become degrees centigrade (also called Celsius).
                    The conversion to the metric system will not be easy, however, and will require enormous amounts of money and time. For example, every peace of machinery in every factory and every office will have to be replaced. Furthermore, every machine and tool that makes, repairs, or supplies another piece of equipment will have to be changed. Not only every nut, bolt, and screw but also every wrench, drill, and screwdriver will have to be replaced, as any auto mechanic who had tried to fix an imported car with a set of American tools realizes. Therefore, although the United States and Canada are committed to “going metric,” it will not happen next week  or even next year. Because  of the magnitude of the problems that metric conversion will involve, the change will have to be gradual and, above all, carefully planned.

            35. The text talks about the possibility of the US and Canada to …
A. build more factories.
B. join the world policy in trade.
C. change the measurement system.

  2. Many countries use the measurement system.
  3. It is not easy to convert to the metric system.
  4. There is a lot money needed to change a system.
  5. The change of the metric system lasts gradually.

37. Why will the metric system conversion take gradually?
  1. Most of American people do not like it.
  2. There are a lot of problems involved.
  3. Every nut has to be changed.
  4. It affects the US trade.
  5. It is not applicable.

38. ‘The conversion to the metric system will not be easy, …’ (Paragraph 2)
     What does the underlined word mean?
  1. change
  2. method
  3. problem
  4. similarity
  5. technique

The following text is for questions 39 to 42.

Students’ cheating is one of the biggest problems faced by teachers nowadays.
     Despite the fact that teachers advise their students not to do dishonest acts during tests, some students still do cheating. There are many kinds of cheating that students do during the test or examination, such as looking other students’ work, put some notes under their clothes, write notes or formulas on their desks, make hand signals or go to rest rooms to get the answers from their friends
     In my view, students who do cheating are committing a crime. It is a sort of taking something illegally. This crime causes negative results to the students. Students who always cheat deteriorate their mental capacity. Cheating acts also create dependence. They weaken their self confidence. Instead of preparing for the coming test, they are busy to organize notes on a piece of paper. If this awful habit continues, the students will lose their opportunity to develop their intellectual and mind.
      Therefore, school should consider cheating as a very serious problem. School board and administration should go hand in hand to overcome this matter. Honesty must be put in school’s vision.  Harsh punishment must be applied to students who commit this crime. 

39. What is mainly discussed in the text?
  1. School policy.
  2. Harsh punishment.
  3. Cheating as a crime.
  4. Mental deterioration.
  5. Different ways of cheating.

40. What will the school do to eliminate students who commit cheating?
A. Create a good vision.
B. Select honest students.
C. Make harsh punishment
      D. Make students confident
E. Administer the school affair

41.  ‘Students who always cheat deteriorate their mental capacity.’ (Paragraph 3)
     The underlined word means ….
  1. support
  2. worsen
  3. cause
  4. create
  5. find

42. ‘They weaken their self confidence.’ (Paragraph 2)
      What does ‘they’ refer to?
  1. Tests
  2. Papers
  3. Results
  4. Students
  5. Cheatings

The following text is for questions 43 to 46.

The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance is controversial.
      Those  who agree to the use of drug in enhancing performance say that most - top players in all sports take drugs to train harder and feel no pain during play. The trainers, sports doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists and managers of the big names make sure banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient levels. The main effect of banning such substances has been to turn performers and their coaches into liars and cheaters. We should legalize performance-enhancing drugs so that they can be regulated and athletes on the way up - whose entourages do not yet include savvy physiotherapists and doctors - don't overdose and do themselves damage.
        On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport should be banned. Performance-enhancing drugs are not only prohibited because they violate the spirit of sport but because they can damage the health of athletes. The idea of allowing them in sport could lead to a situation whereby sportsmen and women are used as human guinea pigs for a constant flow of new, unregulated substances. The long-term effects don't bear thinking about.

A. The controversy of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance.

A. The effective and planned sports training.
B. The proponents of performance enhancing drugs.
C. The agreement of using performance enhancing drugs.
D. The main effect of banning performance enhancing drugs.
E. The involvement of trainers, sport doctors and nutritionists.

45. Why do people disagree with the use of performance enhancing drugs?
A. Athletes’ health is badly affected.
B. Athletes consume more drugs.
C. Athletes are independent.
D. Athletes violate the rules
E. Athletes perform better.
