01 18 I am very disappointed to see that we are losing customers to rival firms in this area. We have invested huge amounts of money in designing world-leading toys and in the distribution of our products, and there have been many achievements to be proud of. The increase in annual profits last year was partly the result of Mr. Beck s new system of producing and following up on invoices for company accounts. 1 Despite all these improvements, however, we cannot hide the problems we have had in Europe. 2 We do not seem able to offer the same quality of service as our rivals. 3 I want to see a system for improving the way we deal with calls from customers wanting information of help, checking on product details, or making complaints. 4 I would like to see major improvements in these areas as soon as possible. 5 19 Some people like cleaning one room at a time. I found, (A), that this did not work for me. I like to pick a single task and apply it to the entire house all at once. If I am in the toilet-cleaning mode and have a toilet brush and cleaner in hand, I feel I might as well clean all of the toilets in the house. This is my least favorite household chore, so I like to get it out of the way all at once. (B), I always schedule this chore after I have gone running or to the gym, because I am already sweaty and due for a shower. When I come home, I immediately clean the bathrooms and then hop into the shower. Do your dirty work when you are already dirty anyway. Approaching housework this way saves time because if you have the appliance or supplies out for a certain job and complete them all at once, you will not waste energy pulling out and putting things away.

20 A gigantic moving truck came to our house and picked up all of our furniture. Mom and Dad gave a lot of our furniture away to Thelma because it wouldn't fit in our new small apartment, (A)[that / which] I really didn't like. We were going to live in the apartments for a while. The moving truck followed us all the way from Baltimore to Holly Hill Apartments in Silver Hill, Maryland. We d be only twenty minutes away form Dad s electronic store on F Street. However, it took me a long time to get over not (B)[having / have] my dog anymore. It was unbearable that we had to give her away because the apartments didn't allow pets. And I thought we would have had to give Mike, our parrot, away too if he (C)[didn't / hadn't] flown away out of our bedroom window before the move. 21 In decades past, economy and thrift were the order of the day. Every purchased product was important and every dollar was worth saving. Today, products are less durable and are meant to be disposed of. Cigarette lighters, contact lenses, and even watches and cameras have become throwaways. Similarly, clothing and accessories are perishables in the sense that once they are out of style, their usefulness expires. In regard to the new shopping, this means that consumers, young and old, are becoming more used to living in a world where things are disposed of quickly and readily, and new things are bought to replace them. Our emotional attachment to personal products is becoming less over time and that means that there is ever more demand for more products.

22 Our culture is biased toward the fine arts those creative products that have no function other than pleasure. Craft objects are less worthy; because they serve an everyday function, they re not purely creative. But this division is culturally and historically. Most contemporary high art began as some sort of craft. The composition and performance of what we now call classical music began as a form of craft music satisfying required functions in the Catholic mass, or the specific entertainment needs of royal patrons. For example, chamber music really was designed to be performed in chambers small intimate rooms in wealthy homes often as background music. The dances composed by famous composers from Bach to Chopin originally did indeed accompany dancing. But today, with the contexts and functions they were composed for long gone, we listen to these works as fine art. 1 absolute 2 repeated 3 relative 4 unprecedented 5 original 23 Food manufacturers have to convey all kinds of information on the side of the box. They have to tell us about the calories, fat content, fiber, etc. (A) Suppose you are at a bar, enjoying a conversation with some friends. With one brand you get a calorie-free beer, and with another you get a three-calorie beer. Which brand will make you feel that you are drinking a really light beer? (B) Even though the difference between the two beers is negligible, the zero-calorie beer will increase the feeling that you re doing the right thing, healthwise. You might even feel so good that you go ahead and order a plate of fries. (C) Is it possible that the same attraction we have to zero price could also apply to zero calories, zero trans fats, zero carbohydrates, etc.?

26 Fertility Rate of Gulf Countries, 2000 2010 The graph above shows striking changes in the fertility rate of women in six Gulf countries between 2000 and 2010. In the ten year period, there was a decline in the number of births per woman in all countries. The biggest declines were in two countries which had fewer than four births per woman in 2000, Bahrain and the UAE. Oman and Saudi Arabia had the highest fertility rates, with over six births per woman in 2000. By 2010, the rate had fallen below three births per woman in Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE. However, in Saudi Arabia and Oman, which remained over five births per woman in 2010. 27 The Transpac Race is a crew race of 2,225 nautical miles from Los Angeles to Honolulu. It was (A)[found / founded] in 1906, the year of the terrible San Francisco earthquake, by the Hawaiian yachtsman Clarence MacFarlane. In the first race, because of the earthquake, only three yachts participated, (B)[narrowing / ranging] in length from 48 feet to 115 feet overall. The Transpac Race was originally held in even-numbered years, but it is currently held in odd-numbered years and is sponsored by the Transpacific Yacht Club. It had a long break between 1912 and 1923, and another (C)[interruption / intervention], after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, between 1941 and 1947. The finish can be close: in the 1965 race, with 55 yachts participating, there were fewer than 100 yards between the first two finishers as they struggled up the Molokai Channel. One had lost her main boom and the other s boom was badly damaged.

28 Early humans settling along the North Sea coast, sometime between 6,000 and 8,000 years ago, encountered skeletal remains of the woolly mammoth. The low sea level at the end of the last ice age provided an exposed shelf between the Netherlands and England that the mammoths roamed freely across. 1 When the sea level rose again, rough surf would have crushed the exposed skeletons of the woolly mammoths. 2 However, the mammoths were as tough as nails, and they would have remained intact and eventually washed up along the shore. 3 All along the North Sea, storm waves would have tossed woolly mammoth fossils up onto the beach, like seashells, for Vikings to find. 4 I can t imagine what it must have been like to find the woolly mammoth teeth along the shore all those years ago. 5 29 On Halloween night (Oct 30, 1938), the east coast of the United States 1was thrown into a panic by a series of radio news bulletins telling listeners that a Martian invasion was in progress. People were glued to their radios wanting to know exactly 2where the Martian spaceships had landed and what the immediate danger was. Traffic jams occurred in the streets as people fled their homes 3to escape the Martians. The entire episode was a dramatic radio broadcast of the Mercury Theatre on the Air. Orson Wells had adopted The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells and made the program so realistic that listeners did not realize they were listening to a radio play. Orson Wells received much criticism for 4 what was termed a cruelly deceptive broadcast, but the radio program skyrocketed him to fame and 5make The War of the Worlds a best seller once again. - 7 -
30 At the age of six, Freddie Roach was taken to the local gym in south Boston and was trained with his brothers. As Freddie showed the most promise of the brothers, his father took him to Las Vegas to help further his career. There, at the age of eighteen, he met the legendary coach Eddie Futch and began to train under him. It all looked very promising Freddie was chosen for the United States boxing team and began to climb up the ranks. Before long, however, he hit a tough wall. He would learn the most effective skills from Futch and practice them to perfection, but in an actual match it was another story. As soon as he got hit in the ring, he would revert to fighting instinctually; his emotions would get the better of him. His fights would turn into brawls over many rounds, and he would often lose. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. [31~33] 31 Psychologists find 1comparable inclination at an individual level. Each person, equipped with a more or less unique set of genes and experiences, develops a cognitive map of his or her world that makes navigation among its hidden dangers easier. In the same household one child might learn to see the world through rosy glasses, 2while the other might learn that it is tough and dangerous. Some children, born with a great sensitivity to sound, will grow up paying attention to the 3visual environment. They will not see many of the colors, lights, and shapes that surround the more visually 4 sensitive child. One person is more interested in quantities, another in feelings; one is open and trusting, the other retiring and suspicious. These individual differences 5develop with time into habits and then into ways of thinking about and interpreting experience. - 8 -
32 Ongoing scientific assessments of animals say more about the human nature than they do about animals. Darwin provides no hierarchy in the evolutionary continuum, no progression toward perfection, yet even in this scientific age, people continue to believe that human beings are the most advanced. Concurrently, we believe that we are the most worthy of moral consideration. But why should we believe that we are radically different from animals? All animals exhibit adaptive behavior and have similar central nervous systems. We are all sentient. Animals, both Scandinavians and cocker spaniels, exhibit emotional responses and associate with one another in close-knit groups. If animals fall short of our expectation, then we should admit that people do, too. In conclusion, valuing one species over another is not consistent with scientific information. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 33 Arthur Barsky, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, has reviewed the scientific medical literature and concluded that nocebo effects are usually directly caused by the suggestion or belief that something is harmful. One of the first laboratory studies of the nocebo effect was conducted at the University of California in 1981. Volunteers had several electrodes strapped onto their heads and were told that the study was about the effects of a mild electric current on brain function. They were warned that the electric current might cause severe headaches but that there should be no other adverse effects. More than two-thirds of the thirty-four volunteers did report severe headaches. The researchers later revealed that not a single volt of electricity had been produced. Expectation alone had made healthy people ill. 1 side effects 2 byproducts 3 compounds 4 actual results 5 vague symptoms - 9 -
34 Besides the aesthetic aim, corsets were used to strengthen the muscles in the back and pelvis, especially after childbirth. They are also worn by people with injuries to the spine who needed extra support in the back. For the most part, however, corseting was known to be an unhealthy practice. The tighter the lacing, the more restricted the body, which sometimes resulted in damage to ribs or internal organs. Many women who wore tight corsets had trouble breathing, and prolonged corset wearing permanently changes the shape of the skeleton. In addition, wearing corsets over a prolonged period of time could result in the back muscles atrophying due to disuse. In particular, of greater concern to the medical establishment were the dangers the corset could bring to a woman s fertility or to the health of her unborn offspring. 1. 2,,. 3. 4. 5. 35 There is a significant amount of (A)[specialized / specializing] training required for a criminal investigator to be able to perform competently. The amount of training will depend on the education, skills, and experience of each individual investigator at the time of their assignment to the unit. At a minimum, investigators need to (B)[be trained / train] in basic skills common to all of the department s criminal investigators. Those skills include interview and interrogation techniques; locating, gathering, and processing physical evidence; surveillance techniques; and informant management. The investigator will also have to develop an expertise in the employment laws of their state, (C)[that / which] will control most of their investigations.

[36~37] 36 They no longer howled as a group, but rather they sang alone in a slow mournful cry. Filmmakers Jim and Jamie Dutcher describe the grief and mourning in a wolf pack after the loss of a low-ranking female wolf, Motaki, to a mountain lion. The pack lost their spirit and playfulness. 1 They were really depressed tails and heads held low and walking softly and slowly when they came upon the place where Motaki was killed. 2 They inspected the area and pinned their ears back and dropped their tails, the gesture that usually means submission. 3 It took about six weeks for the pack to return to normal. 4 The Dutchers also tell another story of a wolf pack in Canada, in which one pack member died and the others wandered about in a figure eight as if searching for her. 5 They also expressed deep grief, howling long and mournfully. 37 Not just information but also people may move between societies. Like war, migration is an ancient phenomenon and very common throughout history. (A) it is often regarded with suspicion, immigration tends to give benefits to the host group. In recent history, countries with the highest net inward migration have also had the highest growth rates, the two factors being closely linked. The complaint that immigrants take people s jobs is, like similar complaints about technology, based on an erroneously static view of the world. (B), immigrants increase the size of the market and thus create jobs. Furthermore, they arrive as productive adults having never been dependent on the host country. They also tend to be motivated and intelligent individuals with a talent for the creation of economic organization.

[38~39] 38 Recent history provides ample examples of beneficial effects of technological and scientific developments. Life expectancy 1has gone up significantly in most countries during the last century and many hardships of human life now belong to history. But awareness has grown 2that science and technology have also contributed to the creation of new threats to human existence or quality of life. Human development has come to a point 3where it must control its effect on the biosphere that provides the basis for all human existence. The early stages of national and international environmental policies can be characterized by a curative model towards our natural environment. With 4increased environmental impacts of growing populations and industrialization, the environment is no longer able to cure itself. It has to be helped in repairing the damage inflicted upon 5itself by human activities. 39 One concern I had while telling the story about the greedy villain is that it always took me a while to find his muscular tension. Before I could begin the story in his voice, I had to take several seconds to tense the appropriate muscles in my abdomen. (A) Worse, whenever another character spoke, it would take a second or two for me to return to the villain s body. And his final transformation required me to speak, relax my stomach a little, speak another phrase, then relax a little more. (B) I had learned an important lesson: kinesthetic transformation is not only straightforward to perform, it is, in a performance context, fascinating to watch. (C) My fear was that these delays would lose me the attention of my audience. What I discovered, however, was quite the contrary. Audiences were fascinated by the gradual postural changes I was going through. 1 (A) - (B) - (C) 2 (A) - (C) - (B) 3 (B) - (C) - (A) 4 (B) - (A) - (C) 5 (C) - (A) - (B) - 12 -
40 Men are bombarded every day with deceptive expressions like gender equality and social diversity. But beneath this aspect of feel-good human rights sentiments and moral political behavior lies an ugly truth. Feminism trains women to feel they deserve what men have earned, so women feel entitled to male authority as a gift. However, feminism fails to warn women that authority carries the heavy price tag - accountability. It appears to women that leading people is a fun job loaded with some benefits. Feminism doesn't inform women that both large and small to meet the needs of those under their care, even if it means losing their lives. Thus, women fail to realize that when decisions need to be checked for competence, it is the leaders who find themselves held accountable, not the followers. 1 men and women should take responsibility 2 they share accountability with the other sex 3 leaders must make sacrifices 4 leading people can avoid duties 5 competence as leader ought to be tested [41~42],. (A) Our primitive ancestors had their own sets of instincts, 1many of which remain buried within us to this day. But as these ancestors slowly developed reasoning powers, they had to detach themselves from their immediate circumstances and depend less on instinct. To notice behavior patterns in the animals they were tracking, they had to connect them to other actions that were not immediately apparent. (B) They came to know so 2well the long distances they traveled that they could negotiate these spaces quickly and effectively, without having to calculate. In other words, they developed a primitive form of intuition. Through continual experience and practice, our ancestors recovered some of the immediacy and speed they had lost. (C) If it had not been for a compensatory power that the human brain developed, such slowness 3 could have spelled doom for us as a species. Years of tracking particular animals and observing their surroundings gave our ancestors a feel for their environment in all of 4its complexity. Knowing the behavior patterns of various animals, they could anticipate where predators might strike, and sense where prey might lie. (D) They had to make similar calculations when it came to locating food sources, or 5navigating the long distances they traveled on foot. With this ability to detach themselves from the environment and see patterns, they gained tremendous mental powers. But this development also presented a great danger - increasing amounts of information for the brain to process and a consequent loss of speed in reacting to events. - 13 -

He grew up in the music business. From the time he was a young boy, his father told him, Don t even hum a song you hear in the house, outside of the family, until it s 1copyrighted. It s just too easy for people to hear a song and think it s theirs. Jack started his career where his dad did, singing in church. (A) he grew into a young man, it was 2evident that he, too, was a talented singer, musician, and songwriter. By the time he was in his early 20s, Jack was on the road as the musical director and keyboard player of a well-known recording act. It was not surprising that Jack made a lot of contracts and had a lot of friends in the industry. He and one of his friends heard that a film producer they knew was working on a movie and looking for some music. One night the two got together at Jack s apartment and were 3arguing about the film. (B) his friend had never written any music or lyrics, Jack had been writing for years. As his friend sat talking about the film, Jack wrote down some possible lyrics and scoring for the music on a sheet of paper. It was a fun evening and the two were all laughing, talking, and partying. A couple days later, Jack went back on the road. He had called his friend a few times to discuss the film and ask if he had the lyrics and music he wrote, but for some reason he never 4hooked up. And that would be the end of the story if a couple of months later, the movie didn t turn into a hit. One day Jack turned on the radio. Guess what? The song Jack had written all those months before was now the title song of the movie. It was a hit, too. A little 5 confused, Jack went to buy a copy of the single.
