 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 from 34 to 38.
 Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives young people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the world, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.
 One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available. A quarter of the students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive government help. "I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young people” as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. "You learn to live with people and respect them, even the ones you don't like. During the summer holidays my mother couldn't believe how much less I argued with my sister".
 To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really seem to work.

 B. what kind of programme Atlantic College offers. 	D. how to get along better with other people. 
Question 22: What is the writer's opinion of Atlantic College?
 A. It doesn't allow students enough study time. 	C. It doesn't give good value for money.

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 questions 
 Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life. The great ocean basins hold about 300 million cubic miles of water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean. More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the continents. This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent. Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence.
 The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any other liquid. One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling. For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom. If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer season. Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent.
 Another outstanding charateristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and solids except ammonia. This characterisitc enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes. In addition, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. It is this characteristic which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down from the continents. In several areas of the world these minerals are being commercially exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely practised, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast.
Question 39: The author’s main purpose in this passage is to ___________.
A. illustrate the importance of conserving water B. describe the properties and uses of water
C. compare water with other liquids D. explain how water is used in commerce and industry
Question 40: The phrase “this vast amount” in line 4 of paragraph 1 refers to __________ .
A. 80,000 million cubic miles of water	B. 24,000 cubic miles of rain
C. 80,000 cubic miles of water	D. 300 million cubic miles of water
Question 41: The word “replenish” in paragraph 1 can best replaced by ________ .
A. fill again	B. replace	C. evaporate	D. form
Question 42: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because ________ .
A. evaporation and condensation create a water cycle B. there are currents in the oceans
C. they do not need oxygen D. ice floats
Question 43: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characterisitic of water?
A. Water can absorb heat	B. Water is good solvent.
C. Water contracts on cooling	D. Water expands when it is frozen
Question 44: The word “outstanding” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________ .
A. exceptionally good	B. special	C. amusing	D. important
Question 45: According the passage, the hydrosphere is NOT ___________ .
A. the part of the earth covered by water	B. responsible for all forms of life
C. in danger of freezing over	D. a source of natural resources
Question 46: The author’s tone in the passage can best be described as ________ .
A. dispassionate	B. speculative	C. biased	D. dogmatic
Question 47: The author organizes the passage by _______.
A. juxtaposition of true and untrue ideas	B. comparison and contrast
C. general statement followed by examples	D. hypothesis and proof
Question 48: Which of the following statements would be the most likely to begin the paragraph immediately following the passage?
A. Water has the ability to erode land
B. Droughts and flooding are two types of disasters associated with water
C. Another remarkably property of ice is its strength
 D. Magnesium is widely used in metallurgical processes
Mark the letter A,B,C,or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that best combines each pair of sentences in the following questions
 Question 49: I listen English songs all day. I want to take part in an English singing contest. .

 C. I listen English songs all day so as I want to take part in an English singing contest.
