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 36 to 42. 
 In today's competitive world, what responsible parent would not want to give their children the 
best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten 
months old, to become familiar with computers. They seem to think that if their children grow up with 
computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future. No one has proved that 
computers make children more creative or more intelligent. The truth may even be the opposite. 
 Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very 
young, may negatively affect normal brain development. Children gain valuable experience of the 
world from their interaction with physical objects. Ten month-old babies may benefit more from 
bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eye-
catching cartoons. A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause 
and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen. 
So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more 
computer classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs. 
 It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from 
an early age. Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse". Now is the time when they should be out 
there learning to ride a bike. There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards. 
Question 36: Children who spend a lot of time on their computers _____. 
A. do not necessarily make more progress than those who don't. 
B. tend to like music and art more than those who don't. 
C. will suffer from brain damage. 
D. tend to have more accidents than those who don't. 
Question 37: What would be an appropriate title for this passage? 
 A. More computers mean brighter future B. Computers in schools 
 C. Never too early to start D. Let kids be kids 
Question 38: What is true according to the passage? 
 A. There is no evidence that children who use computers are more clever than those who do not. 
 B. Computers seriously harm children's eyesight. 
 C. It is better for children to take computer lessons than art lessons. 
 D. Parents should not put off buying a computer for their children. 
Question 39: The word “coordination” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____. 
 A. collaboration B. disorganization C. unskillfulness D. classification 
Question 40: The author implies that children learn better _____. 
 A. after they have developed hand-eye coordination. 
 B. when they hold and feel things around them. 
 C. as they get older. 
 D. when they use a computer. 
Question 41: The word “ludicrous” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _____. 
 A. sensible B. humorous C. ridiculous D. ironic 
Question 42: Why do parents want their children to learn how to use a computer from an early age? 
 A. Because they are afraid their children will become competitive. 
 B. Because they want their children to be well prepared for their future. 
 C. Because this is what all the other parents seem to do. 
 D. Because they believe their children will have difficulty learning to use one if they don't start early.

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 43 to 50. 
 Alexis de Tocqueville, the French political scientist, historian, philosopher and politician, is most 
famous for a four-volume book he wrote called “Democracy in America”. He came to America in 1831 
to study the American form of democracy and what it might mean to the rest of the world. After a 
visit of only nine months, he wrote a remarkable book which is regarded as a classic. De Tocqueville 
had unusual powers of observation. He described not only the democratic system of government and 
how it operated, but also its effect on how Americans think, feel, and act. Many scholars believe he 
had a deeper understanding of traditional American beliefs and values than anyone else who has 
written about the United States. What is so remarkable is that many of these traits which he 
observed nearly 200 years ago, are still visible and meaningful today. His observations are also 
important because the timing of his visit, the 1830s, was before America was industrialized. This was 
the era of the small farmer, the small businessman, and the settling of the western frontier. It was the 
period of history when the traditional values of the new country were newly established. In just a 
generation, some 40 years since the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, the new form of government 
had already produced a society of people with unique values. He was, however, a neutral observer 
and saw both the good and bad sides of these qualities.

 A. French B. American C. United States D. France 
Question 45: What is special about Alexis de Tocqueville? 
 A. He had a deeper understanding. B. He came to America in 1831. 
 C. He had unusual powers of observation. D. He had written about the United States. 
Question 46: The phrase “these traits” refers to _____. 
 A. observations B. how Americans think, feel, and act 
 C. traditional American beliefs and values D. visible and meaningful observations 
Question 47: What is the passage primarily about? 
 A. the progress achieved in America within about 40 years after adoption of the U.S. 
Constitution 
 B. “Democracy in America” 
 C. Alexis de Tocqueville 
 D. the impact of the book “Democracy in America” 
Question 48: The word “unique” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____. 
 A. clearly identifiable B. outstanding C. unmatched D. positive 
Question 49: According to the passage, when did de Tocqueville visit America? 
 A. 1831 B. 1830s C. 1831 - 1832 D. 1835 
Question 50: The word “neutral” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____. 
 A. impartial B. important C. thorough D. careful
