900 wrote that it was played “long, long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it
has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is
interesting. When one player attack the other’s King, he says in English, “Check”: when the
king has been caught and cannot move anywhere he says “Check mate”. These words come
from Persian. “Shah mat” means “the king is dead” that is when the game is over and one
player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the game as
they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time.
Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has
happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don’t
have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the
same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio.
Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was
when one man played 400 game! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must
make chess the slowest game in the world.
1. which of the following is known to be true?
d. chess was played in India long before 900.
2. One player has won the game when
c. the other player’s king can not move anywhere
3. According to the old rules of the game
c. the queen could move no more than one square at a time
4. which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game?
a. “Shah mat”
5. Which of the following is NOT correct?
b. only two people can play chess sitting at the same table.

The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of

workers were killed or severely injured during the years of blasting and carving. During the
carving, many changes in the original design had to be made to keep the carved heads free
of large fissures that were uncovered. However not all the cracks could be avoided, so
Borglum concocted a mixture of granite dust, while lead, and linseed oil to fill them.
Every winter, water from melting snows gets into the fissures and expands as it freezes,
making the fissures bigger. Consequently, every autumn maintenance work is done to refill
the cracks. The repairers swing out in space over a 500-foot drop and fix the monument with
the same mixture that Borglum used to preserve this national monument for future
generations.

TEST 7:
How can we know that the birds we see in the South in the winter are the same ones that
come north in the spring? Once John J. Audubon, a bird lover, wondered about this. Every
year he watched a pair of little phoebes nesting in the same place. He wandered if they were
the same birds. He decided to put tiny silver bands on their legs. The next spring back came
the birds with the bands to the very same plsce. Back came the young birds to build their
nests on the walls of farm buildings in the neighborhood. The phoebe, it was learned,
wintered wherever it was warm enough to find flies. In summer, phoebes could be seen from
Georgia to Canada; in winter, anywhere from Georgia to Florida and Mexico. The phoebes
was the first kind of bird to be banded, and Mr. Audubon was the first birdbander. Today
there are hundreds of birdbanders all over America. These people band all kinds of birds.
The government of the United States has a special birdbanding department which makes
all the birdbands. The bands do not hurt the birds, as they are made of aluminium and are
very light. They come in different sizes for different size birds. Each band has a special

TEST 9:
I must tell you about our holiday this year, it was one of the best we’d ever had. No, we
weren’t staying in an expensive hotel, but a youth hostel! I know what you’re thinking; we
must’ve gone mad. But we haven’t, I just wish we’d discovered youth hostels years ago. Now
that I’m back at university again luxury hotels are a thing of the past, and I was complaining
about this one day to a friend who said that she and her family never stayed anywhere but
hostels. I had no idea that hostels could be anything from a cottage to a castle. I mean
where else do you get to stay in a castle! In fact there are four different grades simple,
standard, superior and special so you pay an overnight charge according to the kind of
hostel you stay at. You can’t stay more than three nights as a time but that didn’t bother us
because we wanted a touring holiday. Basically you look after yourself although most hostels
do breakfast and some of them offer an evening meal if you arrive early enough. There are a
few rules like having to be in by 11 p.m in the evening and out by 10 a.m in the morning but
otherwise you’re free to do what you want. Now i really believe that the best thing about this
whole holiday was meeting so many different and interesting people. I used to think hostels
were only for the young and noisy, but not any more. You can’t imagine what a variety there
was! Anyway what are you all doing next year?
1. This is from
b. aletter
2. What is the write trying to do?
d. to give information
3. Why didn’t the writer stay in a hotel?

place, it is very unpleasant (6) to sit in a smoke-filled room, such as a restaurant or cinema,
if you do not yourself smoke (7) added to this, smoking can be a serious fire risk, especially
in crowed places (8) like discos. Finally, in my opinion, nobody should be asked to risk his
heath just because of another person’s bad habits.
Smokers may (9) protest that they should be free to do as they like. They say that we
already have no-smoking areas in public places, and that this should be enough. To my
mind, however, non-smokers should also be free to go anywhere they choose without risking
their health.Smoking is harmful not just to smokers but to non-smokers too. If some people
are foolish enough to continue this dangerous habits, it seems to me that they should at least
be prevented (10) from doing so in public.

the car, you have to pay the balance or get a loan. Most people make a down payment and
take out a loan for the rest. You can get a loan from a bank or sometimes from the auto
company. You can (10) pay off the loan over a period of time, usually from two five years.
TEST 6:
When man first learned how to make a fire, he began to use fuel for the first time. The first

For many young people sport is a popular part of school life and (1) being past in one of
the school teams and playing in matches is very important. (2) if someone is in a team it

(10) hands and there are still some people who eat this way. There is a particular way of
doing it. First they wash their right hand in a bowl of (11) water they only ear with their right

the hand is again carefully washed.

ground and the fox ate it. What would you say is the moral of this story?
