In most capital cities, which were built long before the heyday of the private car, there is a rarely
enough (46) for moving traffic, and certainly not enough for parked (47) . Buses
move slowly because of the volume of (48) thus encouraging more commuters to abandon public

diminish the number of cars coming into the city. What has happened is in effect is that the (51)
of the private car have become the number one priority, and the older functions of the city center as meeting
(52) and focus for social life have been lost. The new city cannot survive without a series of ring
roads. Giant car parks are its new palaces and cathedrals. During the working hours of the day, there is the
constant din of traffic, but at night the center is almost empty, apart from a new homeless in doorways. Most
people have (53) back to the suburbs, and very few of those who live in the center have
cars, for often there is nowhere to park them. The old city, with its narrow streets, may still retain a lively

local authorities have not yet plucked up the courage to ban most traffic from the street, in which case the
city center is (55) by day, and a gigantic car park by night.

For question read the passage and select the best answer (A, B, C, D) for each of the following question
Walt Disney was born in 1901in Chicago, but soon moved to a small farm near Marceline, Missouri. From
this rural and rather humble beginning, he later became one of the most famous and beloved motion-picture
producers in history. Although he died in 1966, his name and artistic legacy continue to influence the lives of
millions of people throughout the world. After several years of barely making end meet as a cartoon artist
operating from his Los Angeles garage, Disney had his first success in 1928, with his release of a Mickey
Mouse Cartoon. Throughout the next decade, he continued to produce a number of cartoons, and developed
more of his highly profitable and enduring creations, such as Donald Duck and Pluto. In the late 1930s, he
issued the first full-length cartoon film. Snow White became an instant commercial and critical success. This
was only the first many film, both animated and not, produced by Disney and his studio. But as renowned as
the Disney name is for cartoons and movies, it is probably best known for a spectacular amusement and
theme parks. Starting with California’s Disneyland in 1955 and culminating with the fantastically successful
Disney World and EPCOT Center in Florida, Disney became a household name. In recent years, the theme park
concept has become international, with openings in Tokyo and Paris. With the continuing success of Disney,
the creation of future theme parks is under discussion.

For question read the passage and select the best answer (A, B, C, D) for each of the following question

Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the
future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines
have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed
natural gas, methanol, steam hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-mission option
recently available.

Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable
source of current is available, transportation experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering
everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans,
bikes, and trolleys.

As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing
on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will
need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking sports on the street or in commercial lots will
need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they shop, dine, or attend
a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers
might be reserved for electric cars.

Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that
would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit
their needs: light trucks, one-person three0wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer
trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of
vehicles that can be carried by a freeway today.

68. The author’s purpose in the passage is to .

A. criticize conventional vehicles
B. support the invention of the electric cars
C. narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles
D. describe the possibility for transportation in the future
69. The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage EXCEPT .
A. vans B. trains C. planes D. bicycles
70. The passage would most likely be followed by details about .
A. automated free way C. pollution restrictions in the future
B. the neighborhood of the future D. electric shuttle buses

 71. In the second paragraph, the author implies that .
A. a dependable source of electric energy will eventually be developed
B. everyday life will stay much the same in future
C. a single electric vehicle will eventually replace several modes of transportation
D. electric vehicles are not practical for the future

72. According to the passage, public parking lots for the future will be .
A. more convenient than they are today C. much larger than they are today
B. equipped with charging devices D. as common as today’s gas station

73. This passage would most likely be found in .

At the start, everything will be new and you will probably be nervous about answering the telephone and
dealing with customers. You will become more assured as you develop knowledge and experience. It is
important to gain knowledge about your company as soon as possible.

74 H
Good time keeping and regular attendance are vital qualities for every office worker. If there is no one
available to answer the telephone or type up invoices, the system will soon grind to a halt. If you are
genuinely ill, phone your employer as early as possible so they can arrange for someone to cover for you. If
you think you are going to be off sick for more than one day, let them know.

8
 75 C
Assess a situation and try to assist in any way you can. First impressions of company are often gained from
someone answering the telephone or sitting at a reception desk. If that person is you, then your company
reputation can hinge on how you deal with customers.

76 B
Even if you know a customer is wrong, never be rude in return. If necessary, refer them to a senior staff
member or to your employer to deal with. Trying to deal with them without sufficient background knowledge
and experience may make the situation worse.

77 E
You should be able to work on your own and find solutions for simple problem which happen throughout the
day. If you have finished your current task, don’t sit and gaze around an untidy office. The time you have
spared could be used in clearing up or sorting through old files. However, management decision should still be
passed through your employer. If a salesman has arrived with brochures for new office equipment, it is not up
to you to order yourself a new office chair—this is a decision you leave to your employer.

78 A
It is important not go gossip about your employer or the people you work with. If someone shares secret
information with you, don’t spread it around the rest of the office. People will soon learn whether they can
trust you or not. Silence is golden.

79 J
If you deal with petty cash, make sure the cash tin is not left around for anyone to help themselves. Regularly
double-check that the amount in the tin ties in with the amount in your petty cash book. Don’t borrow from
the petty cash. This is a bad habit and one should not get into it.

80 I
Be aware of potential dangers and follow safe practices strictly. Avoid having trilling leads from typewriters or
kettles, which people could trip over. Check fire extinguishers regularly. Ensure fire exits are not blocked by
boxes for filing cabinets. This precaution may save yourself from causing unnecessary harm to your colleagues
and/or damage to the company facilities.

This is the end of the test!
