Family types vary in different countries and among different cultures. In Western,
industrialized societies, the nuclear family ranks as the most common family type. It consists of a
father, a mother and their children. But nuclear families exist together with many other types of
family units. In the single-parent family, for example, a mother or a father heads the family
alone. A blended family is formed when a divorced or widowed parent remarries. As divorce
rates have risen, the number of single-parent and blended families has increased.
In many parts of the world, parents and children live together with other family members
under the same roof. These complex families usually contain several generations of family
members, including grandparents, parents and children. They may also include brothers or sisters
and their families, uncles, aunts and cousins. Even when relatives do not live together, they still
consider themselves members of the same extended family includes grandparents, uncles, aunts
and cousins.

Jean spent her first few years in Hooper and her family moved to Otsego early in her life. She
was only ten when her father died unexpectedly, leaving her mother to raise and support their
family alone. Her mother soon went to work outside the home to provide for the family, and
Jean, being one of the oldest, had to help care for her younger siblings. Although she had much
responsibility at home, Jean thoroughly enjoyed school and was an excellent student. She went
on to graduate 10th in her class at Otsego High School in 1953.
While still in high school, Jean met a young man named Charles "Chuck" Holly, at a dance in
Alamo; and they were quite taken with each other. Over the next few years, their love for each
other blossomed and they were married on February 24, 1953, while Jean was still in school. At
the time, Chuck was serving his country in the military, and had come home on leave to marry
his sweetheart. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, he was sent overseas to serve in Korea for the
next fifteen months.
Upon his discharge, the couple settled into married life together in the Plainwell, Otsego
area. To help make ends meet, Jean went to work at the collection bureau in Kalamazoo for a
while, before taking a job at the cheese company in Otsego. In 1964, Chuck and Jean were
overjoyed with the birth of their son, Chuck, who brought great joy into their lives. Jean
remembered how her mother was always gone so much working after her father died and she did
not want that for her son, so she left her job to devote herself to the role of a mother.

Read the passage and fill in each blank with the appropriate word in the passage.
In the past, doing household chores was considered to be women’s duty, and it is
obvious truth that they had to do all the housework without any help from other members,
especially their husbands. However, nowadays, that conception is outmoded as there are more
and more people realizing the marvelous benefits of sharing household chores.
In the first place, sharing household chores will reduce both physical and spiritual
stress on the mother. We are living in the time that women’s roles have been dignified. Along
with studying and going to work, females also have to take a lot of missions given by their
bosses as well as take care of their children. If they are not given a hand, they can feel really
depressed. As a result, mother’s health is negatively affected as well as the chores are not well
done.
 Secondly, children can benefit from doing housework. They will become more
responsible to their parents and learn many practical skills such as cooking, fixing things and
time-management.
Last but not least, splitting the housework equally helps the family become more
close-knit as everyone can feel mutual caring from others. When household chores are divided,
they will be done faster and the family members will have more free time for entertainment.
In a nutshell, nowadays, each member of the family should take part in doing
housework to make most use of all advantages this action brings about.
25. The belief that doing household chores is women’s duty is _______________today.
26. Women not only look after the children but also have to take a lot of______given by their
seniors.
27. Women will become really depressed without being given a_____________.

is______________
29. Dividing the housework equally helps family members get more________________.

THE BEATLES
 In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world.
Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is
perhaps difficult now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four
boys from the north of England and none of them had any training in music. They started by
performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these
songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular.
The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from
songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write
their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and
they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too
dangerous for them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their
clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when
they first came out. Throughout the world many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask
them.
31. The passage is mainly about ................................
A. How the Beatles became more successful than B. Why the Beatles split up after 7 years
other groups
C. The Beatles’ fame and success D. Many people’s ability to sing a Beatles song
32. The four boys of the Beatles ..............................

Read the passage and answer the questions

In the 1960s, it took pop and rock groups one or two days to record other their songs.
Nowadays, it can take months and months. Many rock groups begin by recording only one
instrument, for example, the voice. Then they record other instruments – electric piano,
synthesiser, guitars, drums and so on.
Next, they might use a computer to add special effects. Finally, they ‘mix’ all the
instruments until they get the sound that they want. This means that a CD or cassette will always
sound very different from a live concert.
Music engineers have developed a new eomputer programme that will change the future
of music. A computer can analyse a singer's voice. Then if you give the computer the lyrics and
music of a song, the computer can 'sing' it in that voice. This means that a singer only needs to
record one song and the computer can then sing other songs in the singer's own voice. Singers
can sing new songs many years after they have died.
 Most of us listen to music for pleasure, but for the record companies, music is a product,
the same as soap powder. When a record company finds a new group (or 'band'), they first try to
develop the band's 'profile'. They will try to create an 'image' for the band that they think will
attract young people. Instead of allowing the band’s full artistic freedom, they will often tell the
band what they should wear, what they should say and how they should sing and play.
In recent year, many rock groups have started their own record companies because they
say that the big companies are too commercial.
30. Today, to record songs, it takes ____.
A. longer than it used to do B. shorter than it used to do
C. only one or two days D. the same amount of time as the 1960s
31. Today’s record procedure results in ____.
A. different sounds of recorded songs and Iivc-performed songs
B. the mixture between CDs and live concert
C. some special effects on songs
D. differences in voices and instruments played
32. Which of the following is NOT true about the new computer programme?
A. It is predicted to change the music future.
B. It can imitate singers' voices.
C. It can sing only one recorded song of the singer.
D. The singer does not necessarily present to really sing.
33. The word "it" in the passage refers to ____.
A. music B. a lyric C. a singer D. a song
34. Record companies don't always ____.
A. suggest the outfits of the band B. tell the band what to say
C. give the band freedom to do things D. decide the songs the band will play
35. The word "that” in the passage refers to ____.
A. soap powder B. an image C. the band D. a eompany
36. The word "commercial” in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.
A. famous B. popular C. Useful D. money-oriented

BLUES MUSIC
The origin of blues is too unclear to pinpoint to one artist or one year; for the sake of
historic importance, it’s believed that the blues music was created in the late 19th century, by the
black slaves that were forced to work in the cotton fields. Blues has firm roots in African
traditional music.
The purpose of making the blues is always the same: the expression of intense
emotions. It is the one reason why this genre had such a profound effect on America, and
eventually the world. Blues is usually categorized by the location of a style, because everywhere
the blues went, it caught a different feel.
Mississippi delta blues came from the Mississippi delta region. It’s the oldest known
form of blues as a genre, from which other forms later evolved. Chicago blues came next, when
the delta musicians started traveling to the big city to look for a better life. The biggest difference
between the two styles is the use of electric guitars and a slightly faster pace in the latter. Texas
blues came out after America saw how big Chicago blues was getting. The style was made
famous by artists like Lightnin’ Hopkins and Freddie King.
 Blues rock was one of the last big blues styles to hit it big. It’s largely inspired by the
Chicago blues and started in the 1960s by bands like Creedence Clearwater Revival and zz Top

36. By whom and when was the blues music created?

A. in the early 19th century by the black slaves B. in the early 19th century by the white
slaves
C. in the late 19th century by the black slaves D. in the late 19th century by the white
slaves
37. The aim of making the blues is to .
A. express the hidden thoughts B. express the intense emotions
C. illustrate people’s ideas D. claim individuals’ opinions
38. What was the event happened after the recognition of Chicago blues?
A. The musicians would like to live in the countryside.
B. The musicians travelled to a foreign country.
C. The musicians travelled to the rural areas.
D. The musicians immigrated to the large city.
39. The use of electric guitars and a slightly faster pace are the differences between
_________and_________.
A. Texas blues - Mississippi delta blues B. Chicago blues - Texas blues
C. Chicago blues - Mississippi delta blues D. Blues rocks - Texas blues
40. The style of Texas blues was made by__________.
A. Freddie King B. Creedence Clearwater Revival
C. ZZ Top D. Mississippi delta
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 from 1 to 7.
How do children learn about wildlife? And is what they learn the sort of thing they
should be learning? It is my belief that children should not just be acquiring knowledge of
animals but also developing attitudes and feelings towards them based on exposure to the
real lives of animals in their natural habitats. But is this happening?
Some research in this area indicates that it is not. Learning about animals in school is
often completely disconnected from the real lives of real animals, with the result that
children often end up with little or no understanding or lasting knowledge of them. They
learn factual information about animals, aimed at enabling them to identify them and have
various abstract ideas about them, but that is the extent of their learning. Children’s
storybooks tend to personify animals as characters rather than teach about them.
For direct contact with wild and international animals, the only opportunity most
children have is visiting a zoo. The educational benefit of this for children is often given as
the main reason for doing it but research has shown that zoo visits seldom add to children’s
knowledge of animals - the animals are simply like exhibits in a museum that the children
look at without engaging with them as living creatures.
Research has also been done into the attitudes of children towards animals. It shows
that in general terms, children form strong attachments to individual animals, usually their
pets, but do not have strong feelings for animals in general. This attitude is the norm
regardless of the amount or kind of learning about animals they have at school. However,
those children who watch television wildlife programmes show an interest in and affection
for wildlife in its natural environment, and their regard for animals in general is higher.

The Importance of Environmental Conservation

In today's rapidly changing world, the importance of environmental conservation cannot be
overstated. Our planet's ecosystems, which have evolved over millions of years, are now facing
unprecedented threats from human activities. Deforestation, pollution, climate change, and the
loss of biodiversity are just a few of the critical issues that need urgent attention.
Forests, often referred to as the lungs of the Earth, play a crucial role in absorbing
carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. They also provide habitat for countless species of
wildlife. However, extensive logging and land conversion for agriculture are leading to
deforestation at an alarming rate. This not only contributes to climate change but also endangers
species that depend on these forests for survival.
Pollution, another significant environmental challenge, affects air, water, and soil quality.
Industrial activities, vehicular emissions, and improper waste disposal are major
contributors to environmental degradation. Pollutants can harm human health, disrupt
ecosystems, and threaten the survival of many species.
Climate change, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, is altering weather patterns,
melting ice caps, and raising sea levels. These changes impact agriculture, water resources, and
natural habitats, posing a threat to both human societies and wildlife.
 Addressing these environmental issues requires global cooperation and individual action.
Emphasizing sustainable practices, reducing waste, conserving energy, and protecting natural
habitats are essential steps towards a healthier planet. By prioritizing environmental
conservation, we can work towards a more balanced and resilient ecosystem for future
generations.
4.1. Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 1?
A. The natural balance of the planet has remained unchanged over millions of years, but recent
human activities are now posing significant threats to it.
B. Human activities such as deforestation, pollution, climate change, and loss of biodiversity are
rapidly threatening the stability of ecosystems that have evolved over millions of years.
C. Efforts to conserve the environment have led to significant reductions in pollution and climate
change impacts, demonstrating the success of global conservation initiatives.
D. Forests are the primary focus of environmental conservation efforts, as they provide the
majority of the Earth's oxygen and habitat for wildlife.
4.2. To which of the following is the sentence "Forests, often referred to as the lungs of the
Earth, play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen" in paragraph
2 is closest in meaning?
A. The negative effects of industrial pollution on air and water quality.
B. The impact of deforestation on climate change and wildlife habitats.
C. The significance of protecting natural habitats for future generations.
D. The need for global cooperation in addressing climate change.
4.3. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence "Industrial activities,
vehicular emissions, and improper waste disposal are major contributors to environmental
degradation"?
A. Industrial activities and vehicular emissions are beneficial for the environment, while waste
disposal needs improvement.
B. Industrial activities and vehicular emissions are minor factors in environmental protection, but
waste disposal is critical.
C. Major sources of environmental harm include industrial activities, vehicle emissions, and
improper waste management.
