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 03 to 09.
 Telecommuting is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published ‘The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular? Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities.
 It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.

WILL SUBSTITUTE HORN SAVE RHINO'S SKINS?
 Last year, thieves broke into a Scottish stately home and stole one thing: a rhino horn trophy, which at 1.5 metres was the longest in the world. Meanwhile, in China, pharmaceuticals ...(25)... have been building up collections of antique cups, bowls and figurines made from rhino horn, for the sole ...(26)... of smashing them to powder to make the ...(27)... ingredient of many of their medicines. And in Zimbabwe, 34 poachers have so far died this year in ...(28)... of the black rhino.
 ’It’s amazing the lengths people will go to get rhino horn,’ said Lyster, of the World Wide Fund for Nature. These lengths ...(29)... why the rhino could be extinct within 10 years if trade in horns to the Far East is not stopped. This week, conservationists are meeting in Switzerland to plan a campaign to persuade those countries where rhino horn is part of the traditional medicine to switch to substitutes such as water buffalo horn.
 The biggest threat to the survival of the rhinoceros is the refusal of four countries - China, Thailand, South Korea and Taiwan - to enforce a ban ...(30)... domestic trading in rhino horn. Similar bans have worked well in Japan, Hong Kong and nearby Macau. Rhino is included in many patent remedies for disorders ranging from high fever to nosebleeds. Horn is made ...(31)... keratin, and has no proven medicinal powers. ‘If you want the same effect you might as well chew your fingernails,’ said Esmond Bradley Martin, a world authority on rhino horn who has just returned from China. Traditional substitutes, such as horn from buffalo or saiga antelope, are ...(32)... second best.
 China is the country where the consumers of rhino horn are the largest: many people are making medicines for both home consumption and export to other Far Eastern countries. Martin found that many places have stocks of 10,000 kilograms of horns. This represents 3,500 rhinos, or the entire population of African black rhinos. These places use 650 kilograms a year. Traditional medicines made outside the official factories could consume much more.
 'This is a a(n) ...(33)... battle,' said Lyster. ...(34)... the battle may be harder than that against the trade in ivory, for there is a difference between the two commodities: ivory is a luxury; rhino horn, people believe, could save the life of their child.

 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.
 Noise is unwanted sound and is among the most pervasive pollutants today. Noise from road traffic, jet planes, jet skis, garbage trucks, construction equipment, manufacturing processes, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and boom boxes, to name a few, are among the unwanted sounds that are routinely broadcast into the air.
 The problem with noise is not only that it is unwanted, but also that it negatively affects human health and well-being. Problems related to noise include hearing loss, stress, high blood pressure, sleep loss, distraction and lost productivity, and a general reduction in the quality of life and opportunities for tranquillity.
 We experience noise in a number of ways. On some occasions, we can be both the cause and the victim of noise, such as when we are operating noisy appliances or equipment. There are also instances when we experience noise generated by others just as people experience secondhand smoke. While in both instances, noises are equally damaging, second-hand noise is more troubling because it has negative impacts on us, but is put into the environment by others, without our consent.
 The air into which second-hand noise is emitted and on which it travels is a "commons", a public good. It belongs to no one person or group, but to everyone. People, businesses, and organizations, therefore, do not have unlimited rights to broadcast noise as they please, as if the effects of noise were limited only to their private property. On the contrary, they have an obligation to use the commons in ways that are compatible with or do not detract from other uses.
 People, businesses, and organizations that disregard the obligation to not interfere with others' use and enjoyment of the commons by producing noise pollution are, in many ways, acting like a bully in a school yard. Although perhaps unknowingly, they nevertheless disregard the rights of others and claim for themselves rights that are not theirs.
 We have organized to raise awareness of noise pollution and help communities take back the commons from those acting like bullies. Our efforts include building a library of resources and tools concerning noise pollution, establishing links to other groups that have similar collections, establishing networks among local noise activists, assisting communities and activists who are working to reduce noise pollution, and monitoring and advocating for stronger noise controls.
Question 35: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People’s enjoyment of the commons by producing noise pollution is regarded as a bully.
B. Noise that is experienced by people who did not produce it is called second-hand noise.
C. Noise is one of the most common contaminants nowadays.
D. People intentionally make noise when they work. 
Question 36: In writer’s opinion, who are not only responsible for making noise but also under noise pressure?
A. The government introducing a new law	B. Everyone using the applicants and equipment 
C. Local noise activists breaking the law	D. People, businesses, and organizations
Question 37: The word "disregard" in paragraph 5 could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. obey	B. disturb	C. ignore 	D. invade
Question 38: The word "it" in paragraph 4 refers to.......
A. the air 	B. effect of noise	C. a public good	D. second-hand noise
Question 39: It is mentioned in the passage that when we are operating noisy appliances or we experience noise generated by others.......
A. We just ignore the serious detriment if the noise is put into the environment by others.
