V/ (1,5 points) Read the passage and choose the best option A, B, C or D to answer the question. Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it’s important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren’t used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for his/her advice. Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest. 1. People with back problems might go cycling because___. A. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet B. it does not make them carry the weight of their body on their feet C. it helps to make their backs become stronger D. it helps them to relieve their backache 2. All forms of exercise must be started___. A. gradually B. quickly C. strenuously D. violently 3. According to the writer, it is best to go cycling___. A. once a week B. at least two or three times a week C. at least two or three times a day D. every day 13
14. 4. You should not worry about the shortness of breath because___. A. it shows that there is something wrong with your heart B. it shows that you should stop and take a rest C. it is a sign of exercise having the right effect D. it is a sign of your getting rid of your heart problem 5.

V/ (1,5 points) Read the passage and choose the best option A, B, C or D to answer the question. Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it’s important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren’t used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for his/her advice. Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest. 1. People with back problems might go cycling because___. A. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet C. it helps to make their backs become stronger B. it does not make them carry the weight of their body on their feet D. it helps them to relieve their backache 24
25. 2. All forms of exercise must be started___. A. gradually B. quickly C. strenuously D. violently 3. According to the writer, it is best to go cycling___. A. once a week B. at least two or three times a week C. at least two or three times a day D. every day 4. You should not worry about the shortness of breath because___. A. it shows that there is something wrong with your heart C. it is a sign of exercise having the right effect B. it shows that you should stop and take a rest D. it is a sign of your getting rid of your heart problem 5. Which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of cycling? A. Giving you a stronger heart B. Increasing you strength and energy C. Giving you better muscles D. Making you look younger VI/ (1,5 points) Fill in each blank with one suitable word. Energy is one of the problems that many people are interested in. It is not an unfamiliar word.

(1, 5pt) Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages. Wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy. 1. What does the passage primarily discuss? A. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy. B. Solar energy’s advantages over other sources of energy. C. The cost of solar energy. D. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels. 2. What does the word they in line 4 refer to? A. solar energy users. B. other renewable resources. C. advantages. D. solar cells. 3.

Sometimes they wear short skirts. Sometimes they wear pants. Another difference between 1800s and today is the cloth. In the 1800s, clothes were made only from natural kinds of cloth. They were made from cotton, wool, silk. But today, there are many kinds of man-made cloth. A lot of clothes are now made from nylon, rayon or polyester.

Read the passage then choose the best answer: (1pt) Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times. Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to the music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a positive effect will probably not make him feel good. A happy song might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music. The angry person does not want to accept the song's happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to the surface. When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece understood the effects of music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole science that concerned them. Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood these effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and beneficial. Once the effects of music are better understood, the next step is to gain a better understanding of the music around us, and what effect it is actually having. 1. The text is about___. A. The science of music B. Understanding music C. The effects of music on human feelings D. Music and an angry person 2. Music___. A. cannot be chosen B. affects everybody in the same way C. affects us in different ways D. never make us angry 3. According to the text,___. A. Everybody likes jazz B.
