Comic Relief is a charitable organization based in London. It was set (31) by comedians in 1985 in response to
the famine in Ethiopia, and uses comedy and laughter to get serious messages across. Since then over two thousand
celebrities have given their time and talent to Comic Relief, helping to raise 300 million to date.
Every two years, Comic relief organizes a nationwide fundraising event (32) “Red Nose Day”. It is usually on a
Friday in March. On Red Nose Day, everyone in the country is encouraged to put a red nose and do something silly to
raise money for charity. In an event that unites the country, people from all walks of life do their bit for poor and under-
privileged people in the UK and Africa.
In schools, uniforms are replaced by fancy dress, in offices across the nation, assistants (33) over from their
bosses for the day. Every contribution is important, whether it is standing in the street collecting money from passers-by,
or taking (34) in a sponsored event like sitting in a bathtub full of baked beans for twenty-four hours, or not talking
for a(n) whole day.
The event is televised in the evening, when the combination of comedy and hard-hitting documentaries persuades
(35)
to make donations on their credit cards - over the phone or on the Internet - to those less fortunate than
themselves.
D. out
D. named
D. make
D. place
D. audience
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments. Arriving immigrants
depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life. In the late 19th and early 20th 
centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs. But such a movement was slow to take hold in
the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm
the belief that anyone who was willing to work could find a job.
Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs
Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deductions from the paychecks of working people,
Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment
insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons
can start at age
62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the
Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of 
elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up the
anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.
In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs. These include
Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is
built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes.
Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of private charities
and
voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons.
It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S.
households contribute money to charity.
Question 36: It took welfare program a long time to gain a foodhold in the US due to the rapid growth of _.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word
or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
According to the best evidence gathered by space probes and astronomers, Mars is an inhospitable planet, more
similar
to Earth’s Moon than to Earth itself - a dry, stark, seemingly lifeless world. Mars’ air pressure is equal to Earth’s at an
altitude of 100,000 feet. The air there is 95 percent carbon dioxide.
Mars has no ozone layer to screen out the sun’s lethal radiation. Daytime temperatures may reach above freezing, but 
because the planet is blanketed by the mere wisp of an atmosphere, the heat radiates back into space. Even at the
equator, the temperature drops to -50C (-60F) at night. Today there is no liquid water, although valleys and channels on
the surface show evidence of having been carved by running water. The polar ice caps are made of frozen water and
carbon dioxide, and water may be frozen in the ground as permafrost.
Despite these difficult conditions, certain scientists believe that there is a possibility of transforming Mars into a more 
Earth-like planet. Nuclear reactors might be used to melt frozen gases and eventually build up the atmosphere. This in
turn could create a “greenhouse effect” that would stop heat from radiating back into space. Liquid water could be
thawed to from a polar ocean. Once enough ice has melted, suitable plants could be introduced to build up the level of 
oxygen in the atmosphere so that, in time, the planet would support animal life from Earth and even permanent human
colonies. “This was once thought to be so far in the future as to be irrelevant,” said Christopher McKay, a research
scientist at NASA. “But now it’s starting to look practical. We could begin work in four or five decades.”
The idea of “terraforming” Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots in science fiction. But as researchers develop a
more profound understanding of how Earth's ecology supports life, they have begun to see how it may be possible to
create similar conditions on Mars. Don’t plan on homesteading on Mars any time soon, though. The process could take
hundreds or even thousands of years to complete and the cost would be staggering.
Question 43: The word "there" in bold in paragraph 1 refers to _.
Mars Question 46: According to Christopher McKay, the possibility of transforming Mars
_.
A. There is little liquid water.
C. Daytime temperatures are dangerously high.
A. could only occur in science fiction stories 
C. is completely impractical
