READING COMPREHENSION (20 pts) Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes the unfinished statement about the passage. There are desert plants which survive the dry season in the form of inactive seeds. There are also desert insects which survive as inactive larvae or pupae. In addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of drought in the form of inactive eggs. These are shrimps that live in the Mojave Desert, an intensely dry region in the southwest of the United States where shade temperatures of over 50 degrees Centigrade are often recorded. The eggs are the size and have the appearance of grains of sand. When sufficient spring rain falls to form a lake, once every two to five years, these eggs hatch. Then the water soon swarms with millions of tiny shrimps about a millimeter long which feed on microscopic plant and animal organisms which grow in the temporary desert lake. Within a week, the shrimps grow from their original 1 millimeter to a length of about 1.5 centimeters. Throughout the time that shrimps are rapidly maturing, the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates. Therefore, it is a race against time. By the twelfth day, when they are about three centimeters long, hundreds of tiny eggs form on the underbodies of the females. Usually, by this time, all that remains of the lake is a large, muddy patch of wet soil. On the th 13 day and the next, during the final hours of their brief lives, the females lay their eggs in the mud. Then, having ensured that their species will survive, the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates. If sufficient rain falls the following year to form another lake, the eggs hatch, and once again the cycle of growth, adulthood, egg-laying, a death is rapidly passed through. If there is insufficient rain falls to form a lake, the eggs lie dormant for a year, or even longer if necessary. Occasionally, perhaps twice in a hundred year, sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that lasts a month or more. In this case, the species passes through two cycles of growth, egg-laying and death. Thus the species multiplies considerably, which further ensures its survival. 1. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The effects of drought in the desert B. The lifespan of fish eggs in desert condition C. The survival of insects in a desert climate D. The importance of deep lakes in the desert. 2. The word ‘form’ is closest in meaning to A. style B. shape C. nature D. design 3. From the passage, it can be inferred that the Mojave Desert is unusual because A. it is hot even in the shade. B. rain rarely falls there. C. it shelters inactive life. D. very little survives there. 4. The author compares inactive eggs to A. shrimps B. sand C. larvae D. seeds 5. The word ‘These’ refers to A. plants B. eggs C. insects D. fish 6. According to the passage, the eggs originate A. in the sand B. on the female C. in the mud D. in the lake 7. The word ‘swarms’ could be best replaced by A. abounds B. grows C. crowds D. supports 9. The word ‘dormant’ is closest in meaning to A. dead B. asleep C. passive D. empty 10. What does the author mean by the phrase ‘a race against time’? A. The shrimps are in intense competition to reproduce. B.The shrimps must reproduce before the water recedes. C. The shrimps do not have enough time to reproduce. D. Death occurs before the shrimps can reproduce. OPEN CLOZE TEST (40 pts) Fill in each blank with ONE suitable word to make a meaningful passage. PASSAGE A Bullying does not always happen in (1)______. Cyberbullying is a type of bullying that happens online or through text (2)______ or emailing. There are things you can do to protect yourself. - Always think about what you post.

LISTENING SCRIPT Section 1: 1. A: Jeff is the perfect elementary school teacher. he’s so good with children. B: I know what you mean. Those kids never make him angry. 2. A: Sheila is a very effective speaker. When she talks, people stop and listen. B: That’s right. A lot of people even change their opinions after talking to her. 3. A: How does Mary like her new job? B: Oh, she loves it. She’s really excited about working there. In fact, she’s cheerful all the time. 4. A: I don’t know about you, but I’m voting for Dave Thomas for class president. He knows everything about this school and all the important issues. B: Yeah. He really knows what he’s talking about. 5. A: My landlady is really nice. She doesn’t get angry if I pay the rent a few days late. And when I’m sick, she always brings me homemade chicken soup. B: Wow. That’s really sweet. Section 2: Did you know that it takes one million years for a glass bottle to decompose? This is not surprising when consider that glass is mostly make from silica, which is basically sand. Think of how lng the average beach lasts! Yet tons of glass bottles and jars are simply thrown away each year. This is completely unnecessary as glass is 100 percent recyclable. The process of recycling glass is quite simple. After recycle bins of glass are collected, they are taken to a recycling facility where the glass is separated by color. The glass is then cleaned and crushed. The crushed glass is called o o cullet. The cullet is shipped to a manufacturer who melts it at temperatures of about 2,700 F, or 1500 C, to form liquid glass. This liquid is then poured into molds in the shape of glass containers. This simple process conserves both energy and natural resources, and produces far less pollutants than manufacturing glass from all new materials. Consider these statistics:  Manufacturing glass from recycled materials saves 68 percent of the energy and half of the water normally required in the manufacturing process.  Glass produced from recycled materials reduces related air pollution by 20 percent and water pollution by 50 percent.  Recycling one glass bottle saves enough energy to light a 100-watt bulb for four hours. So the next time you consider throwing a bottle of soda in the trash – think again! The glass containing your soda today could be the glass containing your salad dressing next month. If we want to liveon a healthier planet, we need to recycle the materials we consume.
