If you have ever had the time to<br /> consider this taboo question, or put it to others in moments of weakness or confidentiality, you<br /> might well have heard some or all of the (31)_________. It's the money, of course, some say<br /> 3<br /> <br /> with a smile, as if explaining something to a child. Or it's the satisfaction of a task well-done,<br /> the sense of achievement behind the clinching of an important deal. I worked (32)_________ a<br /> bus conductor once, and I can't say I felt the same as I staggered along the swaying gangway<br /> trying to give out tickets without falling over to someone's lap. It's the company of other people<br /> perhaps, but if that is the case, what about farmers? Is it the conversation in the farmyard that<br /> keeps them captivated by the job?

Or we can blame it all on someone else, the family or the taxman, I<br /> suspect, and I say this under my breath, that most of us work rather as Mr. Micawber lived,<br /> hoping for something to turn up. We'll win the pools, and tell the boss what we really think.<br /> We'll scrape together the money and open that little shop we have always dreamed of, or go<br /> round the world, or spend more time in the garden. One day, we'll get that (35)_________ we<br /> deserve, but until then at least we have something to do. And we are so busy doing it that we<br /> won't have time to wonder why.<br /> Question 31: A. below<br /> B. following<br /> C. rest<br /> D. latter<br /> Question 32: A. on<br /> B. at<br /> C. as<br /> D. to<br /> Question 33: A. may<br /> B. who<br /> C. must<br /> D. people<br /> Question 34: A. has recognized yet<br /> B. have recognized yet<br /> C. have yet recognized<br /> D. has yet recognized<br /> Question 35: A. promotion<br /> B. ambition<br /> C. vocation<br /> D. station<br /> Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to<br /> indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.<br /> According to airline industry statistics, almost 90 percent of airline accidents are survivable or<br /> partially survivable. But passengers can increase their chances of survival by learning and<br /> following certain tips. Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instructions before<br /> take-off and ask questions if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on<br /> your hips and as tightly as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release<br /> mechanism of your belt operates. During take-off and landings you are advised to keep your<br /> feet flat on the floor. Before take-off you should locate the nearest exit and an alterative exit<br /> and count the rows of seat between you and the exits so that you can find them in the dark if<br /> necessary<br /> In the event that you are forewarned of the possible accident, you should put your hands on<br /> your ankles and keep your head down until the plane come to complete stop. If smoke is<br /> present in the cabin, you should keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels,<br /> or clothing. If possible, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as<br /> quickly as possible, follow crew command and do not take personal belongings with you. Do<br /> not jump on escape slides before they are fully inflated and when you jump, do so with your<br /> arms and legs extended in front of you. When you get to the ground, you should move away<br /> from the plane as quickly as possible, and never smoke near the wreckage<br /> Question 36: What is the main topic of the passage?<br /> A.

According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of<br /> the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware<br /> of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great<br /> damage to children.<br /> However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do,<br /> but are ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the<br /> parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about<br /> music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and<br /> violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons.<br /> Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large<br /> orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.<br /> Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful<br /> musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as<br /> successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very<br /> unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and<br /> now he always seems quiet and unhappy.<br /> Question 43: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ______.<br /> A. push their child into trying too much<br /> B. help their child to become a genius<br /> 5<br /> <br />
