Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions:
EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE
Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the way we communicate. Today's college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a library to learn about their field. Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality they can participate in lifelike simulated experiences. Consider the following scenario of the future of education made possible through developments in information technology.
For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory. Some of the older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or instruction from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from home. Students must complete a minimum number of study hours per year; however, they may make up these hours by studying at home at times that suit their family schedule. They can log on early or late in the day and even join live classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week each student studies on-line as well as that students' learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify the best learning activities and condition for each individual student and generate similar activities. It can also identify areas of weak achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the students' needs.
Question 35: How many times are children who are older than 10 required to go to school weekly?
A. no time	B. three times	C. four times	D. once or twice
Question 36: The pronoun "it" in paragraph 1 refers to_____________

Question 38: What CAN'T the software do?
A. Monitor the time the students learn	B. Find out the best activities for the students
C. Identify weaknesses of the students	D. Design materials for the students

A. The effect of information technology on education
B. Computer software will make sure students learn at home
C. Students can know about their weak aspects to focus.
D. students don't have to go to school any more

Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions:
Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial language. It was created more than a century ago by Polish eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed that a common language would help to alleviate some of the misunderstandings among cultures.
In Zamenhofs first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as uncomplicated as possible. This first language included words such as ab, ac, ba, eb, be, and ce. This did not result in a workable language in that these monosyllabic words, though short, were not easy to understand or to retain
Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language. He made the words in his language sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar tremendously. One example of how he simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this language end in 0, as in the noun amiko, which means "friend," and all adjectives end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means "pretty." Another example of the simplified language can be seen in the prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word malamiko therefore means "enemy," and the word malbela therefore means "ugly" in Zamenhofs language.
In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it. He used a pen name, Dr. Esperanto, when signing the book. He selected the name Esperanto because this word means "a person who hopes" in his language. Esperanto clubs began popping up throughout Europe and by1905, Esperanto had spread from Europe to America and Asia.
In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximately 700 attendees from 20 different countries. Congresses were held annually for nine years, and 4,000 attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914, when World War I erupted and forced its cancellation.
Esperanto has had its ups and downs in the period since World War I. Today, years after it was introduced, it is estimated that perhaps a quarter of a million people are fluent in it. This may seem like a large number, but it is really quite small when compared with the billion English speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in today's world. Current advocates would like to see its use grow considerably and are taking steps to try to make this happen
Question 55: The expression "popping up" in the fourth paragraph could best be replaced by________.
A. shouting	B. leaping	C. leaping	D. opening
Question 56: It can be inferred from the passage that the Third World Congress of Esperanto took place in_________.

A. English grammar	B. applied linguistics
C. world government	D. European history
Question 58: Which paragraph describes the predecessor to Esperanto?
A. The second paragraph	B. The first paragraph
C. The third paragraph	D. The last paragraph
Question 59: According to the passage, Zamenhof wanted to create a universal language ________.
A. to provide a more complex language	B. to build a name for himself
C. to resolve cultural differences	D. to create one world culture
Question 60: According to the passage, what happened to the Tenth World Esperanto Congress?
