 Edwin Hubble was an American astronomer whose research led to discoveries about galaxies and the
nature of the universe. He settled a long debate by demonstrating that the Andromeda nebula was located
outside our galaxy, establishing the islands universe theory, which states that galaxies exit outside of our own.
His study of the distribution of galaxies resulted in Hubble’s constant, a standard relationship between a
galaxy’s distance from the earth and its speed of recession.
By 1925, Hubble had devised a classification system for the structure of galaxies and provided
conclusive observational evidence for the expansion of the universe. His work pushed the one-hundred-inch
Mount Wilson telescope beyond its capability and provided strong impetus for the construction of a
instrument twice its size at Mount Palomar, which Hubble used during his last year of research. The telescope
that bears his name was launched on a space shuttle in 1990 and orbits the earth, collecting data about the size
of the universe.

 Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant
language of international communication. English as we know today emerged around 1350, after having
incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066.
Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and hadn’t extended even, as
far as Wales, Scotland or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to
spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary
work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As
these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business,
banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80% of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in English. Two
thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the language of technology, advertising,
media, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there are more than 700 million English users in
the world, and over half of these are non-native speakers, constituting the largest number of non-native users
than any other language in the world.
1. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The number of non-native users of English. B. The French influence on the English language.

 As viewed from space, Earth’s distinguishing characteristics are its blue water and white clouds.
Enveloped by an ocean of air consisting 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, the planet is the only one in our solar
system known to harbor life. Circling the Sun at an average distance of 149 million kilometers (93 million
miles) Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest planet in the solar system.
Its rapid spin and molten nickel-iron core give rise to an extensive magnetic field which, coupled with
the atmosphere, shields us from nearly all of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun and other planets.
Most meteors burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere before they can strike the surface. The planet’s active
geological processes have left no evidence of the ancient pelting it almost certainly received soon after it was
formed. The Earth has a single natural satellite – the Moon.
1. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. there are life-supporting characteristics on Earth. B. Earth is predominantly water
C. Earth has no common characteristics with other planets. D. Earth is the only planet with a Moon.
2. The word “distinguishing” is closest meaning to _______?
A. elevating in nature B. devastating in nature
C. characteristics like all others D. characteristics that set it apart from other planets
3. It’s probable that the next paragraph would discus_____.
A. people on planets B. the solar system as a whole.
C. the Earth’s natural satellite – the Moon D. rings around Saturn
4. The word “harbor” is synonymous with _______?
A. support B. surround C. water D. include

 Since 1913 the Federal Reserve System has served as the central bank for the United States. It consists
of twelve District Reserve Banks and their branch offices, along with several committees and councils. The
most powerful body is the seven-member Board of Governors in Washington, appointed by the President and
confirmed by the Senate.
The system primary function is to control monetary policy by influencing the cost and the availability
of money and credit through the purchase and sale of government securities. If the Federal Reserve provides
too little money, interest rates tend to be high, borrowing is expensive, business activity slows down,

 Hundreds of thousands of persons each year fall prey to some type of cancer, but new methods of radiation
therapy have enabled doctors to save more lives than ever before. Medical researchers have developed several
experimental forms of this time-honored cancer treatment that seem effective in fighting the disease.
One promising approach involves exposing cancer cells to radiation by implanting source directly into the
malignant tissue. This process greatly increases the dosage and thus the effectiveness of treatment. Another
technique utilizes drugs to make cancer cells more susceptible to the effects of radiation and to make normal
cells resistant. Certain hugs are able to neutralize the genetic framework of cancer cells, thus making them
easily affected by radiation. Both techniques have seen some positive results in the treatment of inoperable
brain tumors.
These and other methods have helped to raise the recovery rate for cancer victims from 30% 40 years ago
to around 50% today. This is encouraging news for those who fall prey to one of the world’s leading killers.
1 What is the author’s main purpose in this passage?
A. To provide statistical information on cancer B. To agree for new methods of cancer treatment

 Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For
employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the
location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the
work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A
recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. But although
the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as expected when Business Week
published “The Portable Executive” as its covered story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become
more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many
managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across
the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the manager responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept
the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that
they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not visible in the office setting. Some
people feel that even when a space in their houses is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from
the office.
1. With which of the following topics is the passage primary concerned?
A. The advantages of telecommuting. B. A definition of telecommuting.
C. An overview of telecommuting. D. The failure of telecommuting.
2. How many American workers are involved in telecommuting?
A. more than expected. B. more than 8 million C. fewer than last year D. none is true
3. The word resistance could best be replaced by _____
A. alteration B. participation C. opposition D. consideration
4. The word them refers to ______.
A. telecommuters B. systems C. executives D. responsibilities
5. It can be inferred from the passage that the author is ______.
A. a telecommuter B. the manager of a group of telecommuter

 For centuries, sky watchers have reported seeing mysterious flashes of light on the surface of the moon.
Modern astronomers have observed the same phenomenon, but no one has been able to satisfactorily explain
how or why the moon sporadically sparks. However, researchers now believe they have found its cause.
Researchers have examined the chemical content of Moon rocks retrieved by astronauts during the Apollo
missions and have found that they contain volatile gases such as helium, hydrogen and argon. The researchers

suggest that stray electrons, freed when the rocks cracks, may ignite these gases. Indeed, lunar rock samples,
when fractured in the lab, throw off sparks.
What causes these rocks to crack to the lunar surface? The flashes are more often seen at the borders
between sunlight and on the Moon, where the surface is being either intensively heated or cooled. A sudden
change in temperature may cause thermal cracking. Another possibility is that meteors may strike the rocks
and cause them to crack. Finally, lunar rocks may be fractured by seismic events – in other word, by tiny
moonquakes.

C. For hundreds of years. D. For thousands of years.
3. The word sporadically is the closest meaning to which of the following?
A. reputedly B. occasionally C. mysteriously D. constantly
4. According to the passage, the theory that Moon rocks give off sparks when they crack is supposed by ____.
A. a telescopic study of the Moon. B. experiments conducted by astronauts.

 Casablanca, Sept 24
UPI-A flash flood swept across the coastal plain about 100 miles southwest of here, killing scores of
villagers in a market place yesterday morning. Reporters from the area said 75 bodies had been counted, and
dozens of people were missing.
The flood followed heavy rains which filled the coastal plain’s dry creek beds to overflowing. The food
crest, several feed high, hit the village of Khemis Nagua at mid-morning yesterday as farmers from the
surrounding area joined townsfolk in an open market place.
The roaring water swept the village’s flimsy dwelling places, the market sheds, shoppers, cattle and
farm implements for almost as soon as it started, the reporters said, as the crest swept out to sea. Rescue
workers quickly moved into the area from Safi, about 25 miles further south.
1. When did the flood occur?
A. on the morning of Sept 24. B. on the afternoon of Sept 24.
C. on the morning of Sept 23. D. on the afternoon of Sept 23.
2. In which country is the village which was flooded?
A. In Khemis Nagua. B. In Casablanca C. In Morocco D. In Safi
3. What happened to the creek beds?
A. They were swept for miles across the plains C. They were flooded.
B. The mattresses on them were ruined by the flood waters. D. They were swept out of the flimsy houses.
4. What happed to the crest of flood water eventually?
A. It went down the drain. B. It was evaporated by the Sun.
C. It went into the sea. D. It soaked into the ground.
5. What does flash in the first line mean?
A. a bright flash of lightening. B. sudden.
C. unexpected despite the climate. D. which came and went quickly.

 Compact discs (CD’s) have revolutionized the music industry with their surprisingly realistic sound.
The six-inch discs look like thin, plastic sandwiches with aluminum in the centre. They have digitally recorded
material that is read by laser beams, so the sound has none of the cracking of vinyl records. CD’s are also
virtually indestructible, and they are lighter and smaller than conventional records (LP’s). CD’s are becoming
more widely available than LP’s: they are sold in electronics and video stores that haven’t formerly carried
records or cassettes. Many record stores are now cutting their price on LP’s to make room for the new CD’s.
There has been a phenomenal growth in the sale of CD’s. sales were up almost 150% in the first half of
1986 as compared to the first half of 1985. although fewer than 6 million CD’s were sold in the US in 1984,
there were approximately 50 million sold in 1986. it is likely that the sales would have been even higher were
it not for the price; CD’s cost nearly twice as much as LP’s. in the near future, however, prices should lower as
more production facilities open.
1. The main appeal of CD’s is their ______.
A. price B. size C. sound D. availability
2. The author refers to CD’s as “sandwiches” because they _____.
A. are light. B. are small. C. are layered D. don’t crackle
3. This passage states that it is difficult to ______.
A. play a CD. B. produce a CD. C. record a CD. D. destroy a CD.
4. According to the passage, many record stores are currently ______.
A. lowering CD prices. B. raising LP prices C. lowering LP prices D. raising CD prices.
5. According to the passage, which one of the following is true?
A. Different binds of stores are selling CD’s. B. More CD’s are available than LP’s.
