Questions 6-10: Read the following passage and then circle the best answer
Snake Lovers
Around the world there are men and women who make their living in unusual ways. Most of
us would not do such jobs for a day, let alone pursue them as a lifelong career. However, the
lifespan of these people may not be that long. They spend their days working with snakes.
Boonreung Bauchan is listed in the book of Guinness World Records for his feat of spending
seven days in a pen filled with snakes. This Thai snake charmer performed with his pet snakes
to earn money to support his family. During his performances, he danced with snakes, held
them around his body, and even kissed them. One day, a cobra kissed him back. He died before
he reached the hospital. Although he left behind several boxes of pet snakes, no one in his
family was bold enough to touch them. Instead of carrying on with the snake shows, they
decided to donate the snakes to the zoo.
In Australia, John Cann carries on his family’s tradition of reptile shows. His parents started
their snake circus in 1919. Cann's mother was called Cleopatra after the queen of Egypt who
was lethally bitten by a snake. Both parents survived their profession and retired in good health.
Their son has made good use of his lifelong experience with snakes. He now advises the
Australia Museum on reptiles and has written several books on snakes and turtles. His goal is
not only to entertain, but also to educate his audience on the value of these reptiles and their
important role in the environment.
In India, Romulus Whitaker doesn’t charm snakes or entertain his audience, but he is an
active educator and environmentalist. He caught his first snake when he was just three. Now he
is the director of the Madras Crocodile Bank and advises major international organizations on
protecting the habitat of reptiles. Whitaker may be in need of protection himself. He has been
bitten three times, but he doesn’t blame the snakes. He says he’s more afraid of people than of
snakes.

Jeanne Dixon
Jeanne Dixon began making predictions when she was a little girl. She had a crystal ball that
she used to look into the future. She correctly predicted several events, including the death of
her grandfather. She also learned to use astrology. When she was just eight years old, a palm
reader told her fortune. The palm reader said that Jeanne would become famous for her unique
ability to predict the future.
Dixon made many predictions about the future throughout her life, but the one that brought
her the most fame was her prediction of the assassination of President Kennedy. In 1952, she
had a vision. She saw a man with blue eyes living in the White House. He was going to die a
violent death. Eight years later, John Kennedy, a man with blue eyes, became president of the
United States. On November 22nd
, 1963, Jeanne told her friends, “Something terrible is going to
happen today.” Then, they heard an announcement. President Kennedy had been shot.
Another of Dixon’s major predictions was the death of President Kennedy’s brother Robert.
One day, she was walking through a hotel in Los Angeles. Suddenly, she stopped and said,
“Robert Kennedy is going to be killed here.” Soon after that, in June 1968, Robert Kennedy was
shot in that exact place.
Dixon accurately predicted the deaths of several other celebrities. She also predicted other
kinds of events, for example, a big earthquake in Alaska in 1964. She made a number of wrong
predictions as well, but people don’t seem to remember as many of these.
Dixon didn’t keep any fees she earned from making predictions. She donated all the money
to a charity that supported educational and health projects for children. She was a vegetarian
and often prepared healthy food for elderly people. She also liked to help animals and took care
of many lost cats and dogs.
Jeanne Dixon died in 1997, but she left behind several predictions which could still come
true. One of them is that intelligent life will be discovered on another planet.
6. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Using astrology B. A famous palm reader

Question 6-10

Wong Tai Sin Temple
Wong Tai Sin Temple, with its colorful architecture and peaceful gardens, sits among the high-
rise buildings of Hong Kong. It is one of the more popular places to visit in the city. It is
especially known for the fortune-tellers that work there.
People visit the temple to honor Wong Tai Sin, a shepherd who lived hundreds of years ago.
According to legend, at the age of fifteen he learned the secret of making a medicine that could
cure all illnesses. He lived alone for forty years while he worked to perfect this magic medicine.
Nowadays, visitors to the temple bring flowers and incense as offerings for Wong Tai Sin. They
pray for good health and for good luck in business. Most of all, they pray for guidance for the
future. This is because Wong Tai Sin was known not only for his ability to cure illnesses, but
also for his skill at correctly predicting the future. The temple has the largest concentration of
fortune-tellers in Asia. There can be as many as 150 fortune-tellers working there at any one
time.
The most common fortune-telling method at the temple is the use of fortune sticks, called chim.
Each chim has a number on it. You shake a container of sticks until one falls out. Then, you
take the stick to a fortune- teller, who will interpret it for you. If you want to try something
different, there are other fortune-telling methods to choose from. For a small fee, a fortune-teller
will read your face or palm, consult the ancient book, the I Ching, or use astrology to predict
your future.
Wong Tai Sin Temple is known for its brightly colored buildings decorated with beautiful
paintings and intricate carvings. It also contains the Good Wish Garden with a stream, waterfall,
and ponds. If you want to know your future, or just want to enjoy a few moments of the present
in a beautiful spot, visit Wong Tai Sin Temple.

Question 6-10
Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D
Tea Leaves
The art of predicting the future with tea leaves has been practiced in both Asia and Europe
for centuries. It’s not hard to try doing it yourself.
First, brew yourself a cup of tea. You can use any kind of loose tea, but it’s best to drink it
from a wide, white cup. This makes it easy to see the leaves. Relax and enjoy your tea. Drink it
all, but leave a spoonful at the bottom of the cup. Now pick up the cup and move it three times
from right to left. Turn it upside down over a saucer to let the liquid drain out. Turn it right side
up again, and now you are ready to read the leaves.
When you interpret the leaves, pay attention to their position in the cup. Leaves near the top
represent the near future, while leaves near the bottom represent the distant future. Leaves near
the cup’s handle represent yourself or your home. The images in the leaves aren’t always
distinct, but if you look carefully, some pictures will appear.
Both birds and airplanes mean that you will make a journey. Birds also represent good
luck. A cross or a snake, on the other hand, means that bad luck will come your way. A baby
means that you will have small worries. Ladders and stars mean that you will reach your dream.
Apples mean the same.
If you need money, look for a diamond, but be careful of clouds. Diamonds mean that you
will receive money unexpectedly, but clouds mean that you will have financial problems. If you
are looking for love, maybe you will see a moon or a cage in the leaves. A moon represents
romance, and a cage represents marriage.
Both trees and books are lucky symbols. Trees represent good health and long life,
and an open book means good news. Eyeglasses mean that good and surprising things will
happen.
Everybody likes to relax with a steaming cup of fragrant tea, but it can be more than
just a delicious drink. After you’ve enjoyed your tea, don’t throw away the leaves until you’ve
read your future.
6. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Looking for love B. How to have a tea party
C. Predicting the future in a tea cup D. Fortune-telling around the world
7. Which leaves represent your home?
A. Leaves near the handle of the cup B. Leaves near the bottom of the cup
C. Leaves near the top of the cup D. Leaves on the cup’s saucer
8. Which image means that you will reach your dreams?
A. Diamonds B. Airplanes
C. Apples D. Babies
9. What could clouds mean?
A. Someone in your home has financial worries.
B. You might lose something in the distant future.
C. You will have money problems soon.
D. You will never find love.

PART 2: Question 6-10
Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D
Pompeii
The ancient Roman town of Pompeii sat at the foot of the giant volcano Vesuvius in
southern Italy. The town and the volcano had lived peacefully side by side for years. Pompeii’s
citizens lived a good life. Their town was a wealthy port and a popular resort. Many rich
Romans had their vacation homes there. The theaters, shops, and temples were filled with
activity. All this ended on August 24th
in the year 79 A.D.
At about noon on August 24th
, a great cloud of ash and rocks spewed out of the top of
Vesuvius, ascending 20 kilometers into the air. The ash and rocks began to rain down on the
citizens of Pompeii and other nearby towns. Soon, the roofs of Pompeii were covered with a
layer of volcanic material that was about three meters thick. Buildings started collapsing under
the heavy weight. By this time, people had already started escaping from the town. Taking what
possessions they could and calling fearfully to their loved ones to join them, they escaped to the
countryside, as far from the town as they could go. By evening, most of the residents had left
Pompeii.
But Vesuvius hadn’t finished yet. All night long, it continued to spew rock and ash high into
the air. The next morning, steaming lava poured out of the volcano and rolled down its sides
toward Pompeii. The lava buried the town in a layer so deep that only the tops of the very tallest
buildings could be seen. Later, some people returned to the town to try to dig their possessions
out of the hardened lava, but of course no one could live there any more. The buried town lay
abandoned for hundreds of years.
In 1748, the long-forgotten town was rediscovered. Since then, a number of excavations
have been made uncovering a great deal of information about ancient Roman life. Architecture,
art, and other examples of Roman culture were all perfectly preserved by the lava. Excavators
have also uncovered the bodies of about 2,000 Pompeii citizens who, unable to escape the
rushing wave of lava, became frozen in it forever.
6. What is this passage mainly about? A. The ancient Roman Empire B. The last days of Pompeii C. The volcanoes of Rome D. The excavation of an ancient town 7. At about what time of day did Vesuvius begin to erupt? A. Early in the morning B. 12:00 noon C. Late in the afternoon D. At night 8. What happened in 1748? A. Pompeii was rediscovered. B.

Question 6-10
Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D
The Great Molasses Flood
Molasses, a sweet syrup made from sugarcane, is used in baking. There’s an old saying “as
slow as molasses in January” because cold molasses becomes very thick and doesn’t pour
easily. This was proven to be an inaccurate description in January of 1919, when a giant wave
of molasses rushed through the streets of Boston at a speed of almost 60 kilometers an hour. It
caused a disaster that could have been avoided. It was brought about by the stupidity of one
man.
A Boston company built a huge molasses storage tank. The tank was over 1 6 meters tall and
30 meters wide. When it was finished, no one tested the tank to see if it leaked. Millions of
liters of the sticky, sweet liquid were added to the tank. It did leak. Rather than fix the leaks, the
man in charge painted the tank brown, the color of molasses, so the leaks were not so evident.
Just after noon on January 15th
, people in the area heard a loud cracking noise followed by a
muffled roar. The leaking storage tank had exploded, sending a ten-meter-high wave of
molasses flowing through the nearby streets. It wrecked everything in its path -people’s homes,
warehouses, even part of the local train line. It tossed wagons, horses, and furniture into the air.
Several people and animals were drowned by the swiftly moving wave of syrup. All in all, 21
people, 12 horses, and one cat were killed, and 150 people were injured.
The molasses was almost a meter deep in the streets around the storage tank. Rescue work
was nearly impossible because rescuers couldn’t walk through the sticky stuff. It sucked the
shoes right off their feet. Molasses filled the cellars of neighborhood houses, and it took months
to pump it out. The streets and buildings had to be washed with salt water because fresh water
couldn’t remove the stuff. As a result of the flood and ensuing clean up, Boston Harbor was
dark brown for six months. To this day, some people claim that on a hot day they can still smell
molasses in the neighborhood.
6. What is this passage mainly about?
A. A disaster in Boston B. Clean up of Boston Harbor
C. Different ways to use molasses D. The history of a molasses company
7. Why did the man paint the storage tank brown?
A. Brown was his favorite color. B. He had many extra liters of brown paint.
C. He didn’t want to fix the leaks in the tank. D. A paint company gave him free brown paint.
8.. How fast did the wave of molasses move?
A. Ten meters an hour B. Sixteen meters an hour
C. Sixteen kilometers an hour D. Sixty kilometers an hour
9. What was the “muffled roar”?
A. The angry shouts of neighborhood residents
B. The noise of a train stuck in the molasses

Question 6-10
Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D
Chinese White Dolphins
When one thinks of the colorful creatures of the sea, dolphins are not usually the first to
come to mind. Though they are born dark gray like other dolphins, Chinese white dolphins
become pink by the time they reach maturity. There are a number of theories about why they
change color over time. Some biologists believe it is because the dolphins eat shellfish. Others
say it is their blood showing through their skin, similar to humans when we blush. Their rarity
has led Chinese white dolphins to become both a tourist attraction and an endangered species.
Despite the damage that has been done to the western waters of Hong Kong, they are still the
preferred habitat of the Chinese white dolphin. The construction of Hong Kong’s Chep Lap Kok
Airport in the late 1990s caused a great deal of stress for the local dolphins. Their population
dropped from a mere 400 or so to less than 100. While the airport was under construction, boat
traffic increased, the water became polluted, and the noise disrupted the dolphins’ ability to
navigate and communicate. Most of the baby dolphins that were born during the construction of
this airport did not survive. Since so few of these dolphins reach the age of reproduction, the
species is in danger of extinction.
People come from near and far to watch the playful behavior of these rare dolphins, which
perform like acrobats in their natural environment. In a move known as breeching, a dolphin
jumps right out of the water, flopping back in with a gigantic splash. Though they appear to be
playing, dolphins may breech in order to scare off predators, or simply to scratch an itch.
Tourists also love to spot Chinese white dolphins that are spy hopping. With this trick, dolphins
come halfway out of the water in order to snoop around. The curiosity of humans and dolphins
combined, however, creates various dangers for these rare animals. Humans in their boats get
too close to the dolphins. Many dolphins are injured or killed by fishing gear and boat engines.
6. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Dolphin tricks B. Colors of dolphins
C. Dangers for dolphins D. A rare and interesting dolphin
7. Why are Chinese white dolphins pink?
A. They eat shellfish. B. They blush.
C. Their blood is very bright. D. Nobody knows for sure.
8. What was a result of construction in the waters near Hong Kong?
A. The dolphins had difficulty communicating.
B. The dolphins disrupted work on the airport.
C. The dolphins found another place to live.
D. The dolphins stopped having babies
9. Why might dolphins sometimes get close to tourists?
A. The dolphins are hungry. B. The dolphins are curious.
C. The dolphins want to be scratched. D. The dolphins like the sound of boat engines.
10. What does dropped mean paragraph 2?

The Dating Supermarket
Copied by Anhkwon9999
60
Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it
home are single. Many single people say that France's capital is one of the most difficult places
to meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as
"supermarket dating". At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the
items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown hair, and is 1.8
meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.
At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday
nights between 6:30 an 9:30 P.M. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple
basket to advertise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets
disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles.
With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out
their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line that is especially
for singles who want to chat.
Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating.
They know that it is too easy to embellish one's appearance or to lie about one's age over the
Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in
which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in another's grocery basket can say
a thing or two about that person's character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man's way of
showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low –
fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it's possible to find much more than food
at a grocery store.
6. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Grocery shopping B. The best stores in Paris
C. A place to meet potential dates D. The disadvantages to Internet dating
7. What is Galerie Lafayette Gourmet?
A. A Singles club B. A beauty salon
C. A grocery store D. A dating service
8. What do shoppers at Galerie Lafayette Gourmet use purple baskets to do?
A. To show that they want a date B. To hold a lot of groceries
C. To look fashionable D. To get a discount
9. According to the passage, why do people look for love in the supermarket?
A. Because all the shoppers are good - looking
B. Because dating services are too expensive
C. Because it's safer than Internet dating
D. Because it's very convenient
10. What does ‘turn’ mean in paragraph 2?

David Beckham
Copied by Anhkwon9999
69
Soccer fans are crazy about their favorite teams. They are even wilder about their favorite
players. One of the most popular soccer players in the world is David Beckham. He is so
famous that even people who don’t follow soccer know his name. Beckham became a celebrity
because he is one of a kind. He has talent, passion, and a distinct image that people can’t get
enough of.
David Beckham has always had a passion for soccer (or football, as it is known in his
country, England). As a boy, he dreamed about playing for Manchester United. In 1991, his
wish came true when he qualified for United’s junior team. Beckham’s team won the Football
Association Youth Cup in his first season. The next year, when he was only 18 years old, he
became a professional player. By outshining the other players on his team, Beckham landed the
role of team captain. Fans and teammates were amazed by how well he took penalty kicks and
how far he could kick the ball. Scoring a goal from the halfway line proved that he deserved to
be the highest-paid soccer player in the world. Changing teams from Manchester United to Real
Madrid only heightened Beckham’s popularity.
One of the reasons people love David Beckham is because he is not afraid to show his true
self. Appearing in public in a sarong or with painted nails does not seem to faze him. While
many celebrities try to hide from the media, Beckham loves to experiment with fashion in the
public eye. His hair and fashion styles have set trends all over the world. After the 2002 World
Cup, there were blond Mohawks throughout Korea. When Beckham shaved off half of an
eyebrow, many young people did the same thing. In Japan, one company made a three-meter-
high chocolate statue of Beckham and convinced him to be their spokesperson. There are other
sides to Beckham’s personality, too. Many fans love the fact that he is also a dedicated father:
he and his wife, Victoria, have three children.

Question 6-10

Where Did Soccer Originate?
There is great debate over when the first soccer game was played. Many historians believe
that the first games involving kicking a ball were played by Chinese soldiers during the Han
Copied by Anhkwon9999
77
Dynasty over 2,000 years ago. A similar game was played in Japan, Greece, and Rome. In some
cultures, the ball symbolized the sun. The purpose of the game was to capture “the sun” and
ensure a good growing season.
In medieval times, the European version only remotely resembled the game of soccer that
exists today. It was much more violent in nature, and involved two teams, each one as large as
an entire town or community. Historical records show that soccer was sometimes even played
with a human head. Tripping and biting were also allowed. Before the 1800s, the game was
outlawed throughout much of England. The penalty for playing soccer was time in jail.
In the 1800s, students in England’s colleges and universities became obsessed with the
game once again. This time, rules were established to keep control over the violence and the
size of the teams. However, every school had its own rules, which made it hard for them to
compete against each other. The Football Association was established in 1863 in order to set
down rules and govern the matches between the different teams. Six years later, the game
officially became a “no hands” sport.
The sport also gained popularity in the British navy. Sailors brought their soccer balls on
board and played the game in their free time. Young people around the world showed up to
watch the sailors play and then went home and organized their own teams. By the twentieth
century, the whole world was playing soccer. In 1908, soccer became an Olympic sport. This
helped make soccer the most popular spectator sport in the world. The first World Cup was held
in 1930 in South America. Every four years, the top professionals compete to bring home the
World Cup trophy.

A. Soccer in the British navy B. Ancient soccer games
C. The history of soccer D. The rules of soccer
