It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get as education.
Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction
between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended
and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place where, whether in the
shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes
place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a
reserved grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer
to each of the questions.
The development of advanced radio telescopes has allowed astronomers to attempt to answer a
question that has long intrigued scientists, philosophers, and laypersons alike: Do other forms of intelligent
life exist elsewhere in the universe? Although the legends of many ancient cultures hold that divine beings
created the heavens and controlled such cosmic events as eclipses, the idea that other planets harbor life
similar in development and intelligence to our own did not become popular until the nineteenth century,
when a few scientists considered ways in which earthlings might contact other beings. One plan envisioned
the building of huge canals in the desert in the shape of easily recognizable geometric symbols; when filled
with gasoline and ignited, the canals would signal the presence of life on Earth to neighboring worlds. Since
then, many astronomers have become seriously interested in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or
SETI. They assume that alien beings elsewhere in the galaxy will probably try to contact earthlings, using
flashes of light to carry their messages. In 1960 one astronomer performed one of the first serious searches
for extraterrestrial life, called Project Ozma. The astronomer turned a sensitive radio telescope in the
direction of nearby stars Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani but found no transmissions that might be beacons
from extraterrestrial civilizations. Since Project Ozma, about four dozen other searches have been
conducted. No one has yet received an unambiguous signal from an extraterrestrial civilization, and
numerous false alarms have been caused by interference from radio-wave sources here on Earth.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, has also been involved in SETI and sought
funding from the United States Congress to build a complete receiver and to undertake a ten-year search
program. One half of this search plan calls for using radio telescopes in its Deep-Space Network to
repeatedly scan the entire sky. The other half involves using its 1,000-foot telescope to listen to nearby stars
similar to the Sun that may have Earthlike planets orbiting around them. Although scientists realize their
survey will be far from complete, they believe the search must begin with small efforts. Said one scientist:
"We're new at this business, and when you walk into a dark, unfamiliar forest, you should probably listen
before you shout."
Question 36 What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Planets harboring extraterrestrial life B. Types of extraterrestrial civilizations
C. Developments in NASA's Deep-Space Network D. The search for extraterrestrial
Question 45 Paragraph 3 answers which of the following questions?
A. How might a search for extraterrestrial life be conducted?
B. When will extraterrestrial life probably be discovered?
C. Why should a search for extraterrestrial life be implemented?
D. On which planets will extraterrestrial life most likely be found?
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer
to each of the questions.
The word robot first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek. In the play, a man makes a
machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner. In the 1940s, the
American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov wrote a series of stories about robots and invented the term
robotics, the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were developed by an engineer,
Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor, George C. Devol. Together they started Unimation, a
manufacturing company that produces the first real robot in 1961, called the Unimate. Robots of this type
were installed at a General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a success. They worked reliably and
saved money for General Motors, so other companies were soon acquiring robots as well.
These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in science fiction
films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were simply pieces of computer-
controlled machinery, with metal “arms” or “hands”. Since they were made of metal, they could perform
certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat. And since
robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful for tasks that would be
tiring or boring for humans. Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in
many factories around the world. Though the use of robots has meant the loss of some jobs, at the same time
other jobs have been created in the design, development, and production of the robots.
[1] Outside of industry, robots have also been developed and put to use by governments and scientists in
situations where humans might be in danger. For example, they can be sent in to investigate an unexploded
bomb or an accident at a nuclear power plant. [2] In space exploration, robots have performed many key
tasks where humans could not be present, such as on the surface of Mars. [3] In 2004, two robotic Rovers-
small six-wheeled computerized cars were sent to Mars. [4]
Question 46 When did the word “robot” appear?
A. in the 1920s B. in the 40s C. in the 60s
C. They put jobs in relation to designers in danger D. They develop weapon industry
Question 52 Outside of industry, how are robots used?
A. to replace human in dangerous jobs
B. to work in nuclear plants
C. to be performed in key shows
D. to investigate unexploded bombs
Question 53 Look at the squares () numbered 1 – 4 in the final paragraph of the passage. Where does the
following sentence best fit?“Researchers also robots to collect samples of hot rocks or gases in
active volcanoes.”
A. [1] B. [2] C. [3] D. [4]
Question 54 Which of the following best paraphrases the final sentence of the first paragraph (in bold and italics
A. Because robots were reliable and economical to General Motors, other companies started to
use robots B. Other companies produced reliable and efficient robots for General Motors
C. Robots saved money for all companies that used them D. Robots only worked well for General
Motors
Question 55 What is the author’s attitude towards robots?
A. He appreciates them
B. He dislikes them
C. He thinks they are a nuisance
D. They annoy him

A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago
and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes. The first fact is that
burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty. This is
much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if
it is worth the bother.
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid
leaving signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a
radio or television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or
computer is enough to tempt any burglar.

be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from approaching your house by

56. Gaining entry to a house through a small window ____.
A. is surprisingly difficult. B. is not as difficult as people think.
C. is less likely to happen than gaining entry through a door. D. is tried only by very determined
burglars.

A. cost a lot of money but are worth it. B. are good value for money.

Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frame of an object, each slightly

the different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer
will produce the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as computer-
assisted animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.
In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequences of

Reading 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 question 71 to 80:
Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future
ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are
cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing.
Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions
entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior:
Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The
orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun’s position in the sky, and the
speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to
perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when
experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from
the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When
the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food.
No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have
inferred the location of the new site.
Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter
who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as
rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how
to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing
chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips.
Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher
total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label
quantities of items and do simple sums.
Question 71: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Observations that suggest consciousness in
animal behavior.
B. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. C. The role of instinct in animal behavior.
Question 80: Scientists concluded from the experiment with chimpanzees and chocolate chips that
chimpanzees ____.
A. prefer to work in pairs or groups B. have difficulty selecting when given choices
C. lack abilities that other primates have D. exhibit behavior that indicates certain mathematical
abilities
