Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each
of the following questions.
The Internet has become an important part of our modern lives. In fact, it is impossible for many people to imagine a day
without some contact with the Internet. Most people use the Internet to shop, send e-mail, and for social networking. However,
some people find it hard to control how much time they spend online.
So, how much Internet is too much Internet? Experts agree that people who use the Internet so much that it causes problems
with their daily activities are spending too much time online. They say that some people may actually be addicted to the Internet
in much the same way as some people are addicted to gambling or alcohol. Signs of Internet addiction include spending more
and more time online, reducing or giving up social, work-related, or hobby-related activities in favour of spending time online,
and giving up sleep to spend time on the Internet.
Experts say that this becomes a real problem when a person starts experiencing problems sleeping, problems in their home and
work life, and problems in having good social relationships. People who use the Internet excessively also seem to be more likely
to show signs of depression.
How do you know if you are spending too much time online? Some common warning signs include checking your e-mail
every few minutes, always thinking about your next online session, and getting complaints from the people around you about
how much time you spend online.
Showing any of these signs may mean that you are on your way to becoming addicted to the Internet. However, experts agree
that there is hope. They say that simply understanding that spending too much time online is a problem may be the first step to
solving the problem. They believe that, in most cases, doing something as simple as creating a better system for managing your
time online can solve the problem.
The Internet is a wonderful tool for communicating and finding information. However, as with most things in life, you have to
learn to use it carefully, and make sure you keep a healthy balance between it and the other important things in your life.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each
of the following questions.
What was, just a few days ago, the object of eager speculation among British children has become a reality. Schools are shut.
For an unspecified period, learning will take place at home, except for a minority of pupils who are deemed to be vulnerable, or
whose parents are key workers. Closing schools was a necessary step that should have been taken sooner, as it was in other
countries. Across the world, school is part of the rhythm of life - for parents and teachers as well as pupils. Because of
coronavirus, an estimated 800 million children globally are now having their education interrupted.
Some may welcome this, at least at first. Nobody wants to catch Covid-19, or be responsible for spreading it. With British
schooling in preparation for primary school SATs, GCSEs and A-levels, lessons can be more like drills than investigations.
Some parents have already begun sharing plans (and jokes) about homeschooling. However, most parents will feel less well
equipped to teach older children.
The social impact of being separated from peers also varies for different age groups. Almost all children, including some who
find school difficult, benefit from the social experiences that it offers. But for teenagers, whose emotional development requires
them to become more separate from their parents and carers, being forced back into the family nest carries particular stresses.
But economic inequality will be the biggest variable between the experiences of British children over the next few months. In
any society, school is a leveller. When they are there, pupils share the same spaces, lessons, menus and teachers. At home,
children of well-off parents invariably live in bigger houses, are more likely to have their own bedrooms, two parents rather
than one to support them, and better access to technology as well as books and other learning resources, and food.
We must do our best over the coming months, and no one should begrudge those who are looking forward to lessons or
weekday lunches with their children. But during this particular period, the government should do everything in its power to
ensure that more vulnerable children and families do not lose out. When things get back to normal, anyone who have fallen
behind must be helped to catch up.
35. The word "them ” in paragraph 3 refers to…..
A. teenagers
B. experiences
C. stresses
D. carers
36. The word “invariably” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to……
A. doubtfully
B. certainly
C. variously
D. changeably
37. Which is the most suitable title for thepassage?
A. Life at School: No Pain No Gain
B. In Praise Of Homeschooling
C. Life without School: Not a Level Playing Field
D. Homeschooling: You've Missed the Boat
38. According to paragraph 2, why does the idea of school closure seem appealing at first?
A. Because lessons at school have become unnecessary
B. Because people are unwilling to put their well-being at risk
C. Because most students haven't been well-prepared for the coming exams
D. Because parents hope to have more time with their children
39. According to the passage, which of the following would best facilitate homeschooling?
A. Teenagers' separation from peers
B. Parents' working experience
C. Teachers' expertise
D. Families' wealth
40. The word “deemed" inparagraph 1 is closest in meaning to…..
A. persuaded
B. considered
C. affected
D. chosen
41. Which statement is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. In any particular school, children have equal access to learning resources.
B. Children whose parents work in important industries are more vulnerable.
C. Modern parents believe they are in a good position to teach their offspring.
D. British schools are considering closure on account of Covid-19.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to choose the word or phrase that
best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Every summer, when the results of university entrance exam ...(42)... out, many newspaper stories are published about
students who are top-scorers across the country. Most portray students as hard-working, studious, smart and, ...(43)..., from lowincome families. They are often considered heroes or heroines by their families, communes, villages and communities. And they
symbolise the efforts made to lift them, and their relatives, out of poverty. The students are often too poor to attend any extraclasses, ...(44)... make their achievements more illustrious and more newsworthy. While everyone should applaud the students
for their admirable efforts, putting too much emphasis on success generates some difficult questions. If other students look up to
them as models, of course it's great. ...(45)..., in a way, it contributes to society's attitude that getting into university is the only
way to succeed. For those who fail, their lives are over. It should be noted that about 1.3 million high school students take part
in the annual university ...(46)... exams and only about 300,000 of them pass. What's about the hundreds of thousands who fail?

Should we demand more stories about those who fail the exam but succeed in life or about those who quit university education
at some level and do something else unconventional?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each
of the following questions.
The Internet has become an important part of our modern lives. In fact, it is impossible for many people to imagine a day
without some contact with the Internet. Most people use the Internet to shop, send e-mail, and for social networking. However,
some people find it hard to control how much time they spend online.
So, how much Internet is too much Internet? Experts agree that people who use the Internet so much that it causes problems
with their daily activities are spending too much time online. They say that some people may actually be addicted to the Internet
in much the same way as some people are addicted to gambling or alcohol. Signs of Internet addiction include spending more
and more time online, reducing or giving up social, work-related, or hobby-related activities in favour of spending time online,
and giving up sleep to spend time on the Internet.

Experts say that this becomes a real problem when a person starts experiencing problems sleeping, problems in their home and
work life, and problems in having good social relationships. People who use the Internet excessively also seem to be more likely
to show signs of depression.
How do you know if you are spending too much time online? Some common warning signs include checking your e-mail
every few minutes, always thinking about your next online session, and getting complaints from the people around you about
how much time you spend online.
Showing any of these signs may mean that you are on your way to becoming addicted to the Internet. However, experts agree
that there is hope. They say that simply understanding that spending too much time online is a problem may be the first step to
solving the problem. They believe that, in most cases, doing something as simple as creating a better system for managing your
time online can solve the problem.
The Internet is a wonderful tool for communicating and finding information. However, as with most things in life, you have to
learn to use it carefully, and make sure you keep a healthy balance between it and the other important things in your life.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each
of the following questions.
The Internet has become an important part of our modern lives. In fact, it is impossible for many people to imagine a day
without some contact with the Internet. Most people use the Internet to shop, send e-mail, and for social networking. However,
some people find it hard to control how much time they spend online.
So, how much Internet is too much Internet? Experts agree that people who use the Internet so much that it causes problems
with their daily activities are spending too much time online. They say that some people may actually be addicted to the Internet
in much the same way as some people are addicted to gambling or alcohol. Signs of Internet addiction include spending more
and more time online, reducing or giving up social, work-related, or hobby-related activities in favour of spending time online,
and giving up sleep to spend time on the Internet.
