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,
Brad Merchant

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.
31. What is the text mainly about?
- Sunlight
affects.
- Seasonal
affective disorder.
- Substances
in human brain.
- The
causes of a medical disorder.
- Symptoms
of body disturbance.
32. How can the
lack of sunlight exposure affect depression?
A. It lessens the production of
melatonin and serotonin.
B. The chemical substance
produced in the brain stops
C. People are in the state of
listlessness.
D. It causes severe cold weather.
E. People gain weight.

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.
D. compete their products in the
worlds.
E. use the English system of
measurement.
36. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
- Most
of people apply the metric system.
- Many
countries use the measurement system.
- It
is not easy to convert to the metric system.
- There
is a lot money needed to change a system.
- The
change of the metric system lasts gradually.
37. Why will the metric system conversion take gradually?
- Most
of American people do not like it.
- There
are a lot of problems involved.
- Every
nut has to be changed.
- It
affects the
- It
is not applicable.
38. ‘The conversion to the metric system will not be
easy, …’ (Paragraph 2)
What does the
underlined word mean?
- change
- method
- problem
- similarity
- 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?
- School
policy.
- Harsh
punishment.
- Cheating
as a crime.
- Mental
deterioration.
- 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 ….
- support
- worsen
- cause
- create
- find
42. ‘They weaken their self confidence.’ (Paragraph
2)
What does ‘they’
refer to?
- Tests
- Papers
- Results
- Students
- 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.
43. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. The controversy of using drugs to enhance
athlete’s performance.
B. The benefit of drugs in enhancing athlete’s
performance.
C. The danger of using drugs in sport.
D. Proponents for drug use in sport.
E. Drug regulation for athletes.
44. What does the second paragraph tell?
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.
46. ‘Those who agree to the use of drug in enhancing
performance say that …’(paragraph 1)
