II. ON YOUR ANSWER SHEET INDICATE THE LETTER A,B,C OR D AGAINST THE NUMBER OF EACH ITEM:
FIRST PASSAGE
Lily Chen always prepared an ‘evening’ snack for her husband to consume on his return at 1.15p.m. This was not strictly necessary since Chen enjoyed at the unusually late hour of 11.45 pm, what the boss boasted was the best employees’ dinner in any restaurant. They sat waiters, boss, and boss’s mother too, at a round table and ate soup, a huge fish, vegetables, shredded pork, and a tureen of steaming rice. Lily still went ahead and prepared broth, golden- yellow with floating oily rings and put it before her husband when he returned. She felt she would have been failing in her wifely duties otherwise. Dutifully, Chan drank the soup he raised to his mouth in the porcelain spoon while Lily watched him closely from the sofa. It was far too rich for him. Lily had the gas fire burning five minutes before her husband’s footfall on the stone stairs and Chan would be perspiring heavily by the time he finished, abandoning the spoon and applying the bowl to his lips to drink the last awkward inches, the beads of moisture on his forehead as salty as the broth. He fancied they fell in and over- seasoned the last of the soup. Four years ago, at the beginning of their marriage, Chen had tried leaving the last spoonful but Lily’s reproachful eyes were intolerable. She was merciless now, watching him with sidelong glances from the sofa, her knees pressed closely together while she paired the baby’s socks from the plastic basket on the floor. ‘Did you enjoy that, husband?’ ‘Was it nice?’ she would enquire brightly. Chen would grunt in his solid way, not wishing to hurt her feelings but also careful not to let himself in for a bigger bowl in the future.
Although comfortably full, Chen would have liked a biscuit but Lily was unrelenting here as well. Sweet after salty was dangerous for the system, so she had been taught; it could upset the whole balance of the dualistic or female and male principles, yin and yang. Lily was full of incontrovertible pieces of lore like this which she had picked up from her father who had been a part- time bone-setter and Chinese boxer. For four years, therefore, Chen had been going to bed tortured with the last extremities of thirst but with his dualistic male and female principles in harmony. This was more than could be said for Lily, Chen often thought, who concealed a steely will behind her demure exterior.
16. What was Chen’s job?
A. He ran a restaurant B. He washed dishes C. He was a cook D. he worked as a waiter
17. How did Chen feel about his meal at home?
A. It was too hot B. He looked forward to it
C. It was well-balanced D. He would rather not have it
18. Chen always finished his soup because Lily
A. Felt content if he did. B. Would then allow him to drink
C. Did not like to throw food away D. Complained bitterly if he didn’t
19. Chen’s homelife was difficult because of his wife’s
A. Lack of concern B. Rigid ideas. C. Thoughtlessness D. Unco-operative behavior
20. Which of the following statements correctly describes the relationship between Lily and Chen?
A. They were indifferent to each other B. They respected each other
C. They made each other suffer. D. They did not get on well.
III. USE THE WORDS TO THE RIGHT OF THE TWO TEXTS TO FORM ONE WORD THAT FITS IN THE SAME NUMBERED SPACE IN THE TEXT:
Traffic congestion is now a problem in practically major city in the world but nobody has yet found a workable (21)---------to the seemingly inevitable chaos.

Tram systems are (23)-------in old cities where narrow, winding streets make the installation of overhead cables a practical (24)--------many local government the business of coaxing people into buses and (25)-----------them from using their cars easier said than done. And yet it is (26)--------that the situation should be allowed to remain as it is. The arguments are in favor of direct action are now (27)-------if we are ever to prevent (28)------levels of population and economic chaos.
It is astonishing how many people set off to climb Mount Olympus in completely (29)-------- clothing. The weather conditions on the mountain are notoriously (30)----------but people are fooled into thinking that just because the bottom is sunny, the summit will be (31)--------warm and bright. Nothing could be further from the truth. Bearing in mind that (32)--------is forearmed’, consult the local climbing club about the likely conditions before setting off. Such local knowledge can be absolutely (33)--------- and you would, to put it mildly, be extremely (34)-------- to ignore it. Whatever the likely weather, a good pair of boots is (35)-------as is some form of waterproof. And it is a steep climb so it goes without saying that a reasonable level of (36)-----------is essential.

V. FILL EACH OF THE NUMBERED BLANKS IN THE PASSAGE WITH ONE SUITABLE WORD:
Many people have proposed that no employee (47)---------be asked to work more than a 35-hour week. This sounds fine in theories though in practice is (48)-------to give rise to all sorts of problems if applied too strictly. On the other hand, the proposal can be seen as a welcome attempt to stem employers’ seemingly (49)-------demands for long hours. For some time, the underlying (50)--------has been for the working week to become longer and even the most unambitious employee has found it hard to fight the (51)--------towards longer working days and work dominated weekends.

All of us have to work to earn a living ourselves and to help our family. However, we work not only for material life but also for many other things. We are working to prove our ability.

Working helps us train our minds because we always try our best to do the job.
The better we work, the more money we earn and that encourages us to work harder. Without working, a man’s life will be empty, purposeless and meaningless and it’s easy for a jobless person to do wrongs.

V. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D for each question.
Aspirin's origins go back at least as early as 1758. In that year, Englishman Edward Stone noticed a distinctive bitter flavor in the bark of the willow tree. To Stone, this particular bark seemed to have much in common with "Peruvian Bark", which had been used medicinally since the 1640s to bring down fevers and to treat malaria. Stone decided to test the effectiveness of the willow bark. He obtained some, pulverized it into tiny pieces, and conducted experiments on its properties. His tests demonstrated that this pulverized willow bark was effective both in reducing high temperatures and in relieving aches and pains. In 1763, Stone presented his findings to the British Royal Society.
Several decades later, further studies in the medicinal value of the willow bark were being conducted by two Italian scientists. These chemists, Brugnatelli and Fontana, determined that the active chemical that was responsible for the medicinal characteristics in the willow bark was the chemical salicin, which is the active ingredient of today's aspirin.
The name "aspirin" is the trade name of the drug based on the chemical salicin, properly known as acetylsalicylic acid. The trade name "aspirin" was invented for the drug in the 1890s by the Bayer Drug Company in Germany. The first bottles of aspirin actually went on sale to the public just prior to the turn of the century, in 1899.

A. caused fevers
B. was ineffective in treating malaria

5. What did the willow bark look like after Stone prepared it for his experiments?
