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 10

A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker.
The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language,
communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance. A
person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or
unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms
that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance.
When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm. At
interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie
them. Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy,
lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are .usually discernible
by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its
own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The motivation derived from the text, and in
the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to create

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer for each of the questions.
Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination against women in
business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of
women entrepreneurs small. Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than
$40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s. As
Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was
the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the
woman entrepreneur". What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more
women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles.
Women are still excluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant,
had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become
chairman of the board. Now they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their
own". In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing,
for example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year
computer software business. It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife
with degrees in math and engineering. When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was
software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers-and her office was a
bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company's cash. After she succeeded
with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates to

A. Were unrealistic about their opportunities in business management.
B.Were still more interested in education than business opportunities
C.had fewer obstacles in business than they do today.
D. were unable to work hard enough to success in business.
Question 56: The author mentions the “ shoesbox under the bed” in the third paragraph in order to
A. Show the frugality of women in business
B. show the resourcefulness of Sandra Kurtzig
C. Point out that initially the financial resources of Sandra Kurtzig’s business
were limited
D. suggest that the company needed to expand
Question 57: The expression “ keep tabs on “ in line 16 is closest meaning to
A. recognize the appearance of B. keep records of
C. provide transportation for D. pay the salaries of Question 58: The word “hurdles” in line 21 can be best replaced by
A. fences B .obstacles C. questions D. small groups
Question 59: It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes that business operated by
women are small because
A. Women prefer a small intimate setting.
B. Women can’t deal with money.
C. Women are not able to borrow money easily.
D. many women fail at large businesses.
Question 60:The author’s attitude about the future of women in business is

V. Read the passage and the questions or unfinished sentences, then choose the best answer for each.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun and hides at least some part of the Sun
from the earth. In a partial eclipse, the Moon covers part of the Sun; in an annual eclipse, the Moon covers
the center of the Sun, leaving a bright ring of light around the Moon; in a total eclipse, the Sun is
completely covered by the Moon.
It seems rather improbable that a celestial body size of the Moon could completely block out the
tremendously immense Sun, as happens during a total eclipse, but this is exactly what happens. Although
the Moon is considerably smaller in size than the Sun, the Moon is able to cover the Sun because of their
relative distances from Earth. A total eclipse can last up to 7 minutes, during which time the Moon’s shadow
moves across Earth at a rate of about 6 kilometers per second.

a. describes how long an eclipse will last. B. gives facts about the Moon.
c. explains how the Sun is able to obscure the Moon. D. informs the reader about solar eclipses.

In 1973, an electronic company called Motorola hired Martin Cooper to work on wireless communication. Motorola and Bell Laboratories ( now AT & T) were in a race to invent the first portable communication device. Martin Cooper
won the race and became the inventor of the cell phone. On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the first cell phone call to his
opponent at AT & T while walking down the streets of New York city. People on the sidewalks gazed at cooper in
amazement. Cooper's phone was called A Motorola Dyna-Tac. It weighed a whopping 2.5 pounds (as compared to
today's cell phones that weigh as little as 3 or 4 ounces)
After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone available to the
general public. After a decade, Motorola introduced the first cell phone for commercial use. The early cell phone and
its service were both expensive. The cell phone itself cost about $ 3, 500. In 1977, AT & T constructed a cell phone
system and tried it out in Chicago with over 2, 000 customers. In 1981, a second cellular phone system was started in
the Washington, D.C and Baltimore area. It took nearly 37 years for cell phones to become available for general
public use. Today, there are more than sixty million cell phone customers with cell phones producing over thirty
billion dollars per year.
