Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct 
answer to each of the questions from 5 to 9. 
 Why are there so many grandmothers and so few grandfathers? In other words, why do men die younger 
than women? Is it because men are afraid of getting old and helpless and so they prefer to die before that 
happens? Perhaps they fear to be left alone by their women and so decide to do the leaving first. 
 Many explanations are given for the fact that men die earlier than women. Men are stronger physically, yet 
women can hang on longer to life. Both men and women are emotional creatures but women are not afraid or 
ashamed to cry while men refuse to do so. They are afraid of being thought "soft". Some men, when they are 
upset, play loud music or dig in the garden to relieve their feelings. Many men like an orderly life so that they bury 
themselves in their work or want a wife with some children or long to take part in wars where there is a definite 
chain of command. There is a leader to give orders and a known enemy to fight against and defeat. All these 
make men feel they live in a rational world. 
 So the majority of men like a rational world. Rationality is fine but it does not include everything that makes 
life joyful and fun or even messy and frustrating. When a man refuses to cry, he is refusing to accept that his 
emotions are part of him. Of course some men do not follow this pattern. Bob Hawke is capable of crying in public 
whereas Margaret Thatcher is probably incapable of crying at any time. 
 We need to cry because that shows our ability to suffer. If we do not suffer, we are not really alive at all. 
Suffering can be creative or destructive. If we can all learn to cry and laugh and shout and dance openly, we are 
living creatively and adding something to the human race. We often say men suffer more from stress and 
therefore they die earlier. Are we not saying in another way that they do not know how to suffer in the right way - 
with tears and laughter instead of silence - and so they are miserable and just give up? That is just my theory of 
course. Have you a better one? 
Question 5: What does the word "that" in the passage refer to? 
 A. The fact that men get old and helpless. 
 B. The fact that they fear to be left alone. 
 C. The fact that men die younger than women. 
 D. The fact that they decide to do the leaving first. 
Question 6: What's the main question the article is intended to discuss? 
 A. Why women are more emotional than men. 
 B. Why suffering is different in men and women. 
 C. Why men like a rational world. 
 D. Why men die earlier than women. 
Question 7: What is found the same for both men and women? 
 A. They like to cry. B. They are emotional creatures. 
 C. They are physically strong. D. They want to play loud music. 
Question 8: The phrase “to do the leaving” is closest in meaning to_______. 
 A. set off B. pass away C. go down D. depart 
Question 9: What's the writer's opinion toward crying? 
 A. It is all right for women to cry but shameful for men B. It is a good thing for people to cry. 
 C. To be silent is better than to cry. D. Tears are not real signs of suffering.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct 
answer to each of the questions from 17 to 24. 
 Newspapers can be traced back to 16th century Venice. In 1566, handwritten news sheets - called 'avis' or 
‘gazette' - filled with information on wars and politics in Europe were distributed weekly in Venice. Similar news 
sheets soon started to appear in other European countries. By 1615, Germany and Austria were publishing 
weeklies. And in 1621, the first news sheets appeared in England. 
 At first, these news sheets only printed news which came from outside the country in which they were 
printed. Discussion of local or national issues was avoided. Europe’s governments did not tolerate anything 
negative being said about them as it could lead to national unrest. 
 Such censorship slowed the development of newspapers. Nevertheless, a belief in the importance of a 
'free press’ slowly began to take hold in Europe. England was among the first countries to escape government 
control of the press. This occurred during the reign of King Charles I in the 17th century, when, during a period of 
breakdown in the king's authority, people began to publish what they wanted. 
 Eventually, free press had the right to criticize government and voice other ideas freely. In the middle of 
the 18th century, Sweden became the first country to make press freedom a part of its law. 
 In the 19th century, the newspaper industry was transformed by the invention of the telegraph. The 
telegraph was a communication system that allowed messages to be sent over long distances in a matter of 
minutes. It wasn’t long before newspapers became society's primary means of spreading and receiving 
information. In 1880, the first photographs appeared in newspapers and, by the end of the century, all the basic 
technical tools for the modern newspaper were in place. 
 The story of newspapers in the 20th century was one of adaptation to changing consumer and media 
markets. The invention of radio, TV, and later the Internet, repeatedly drove newspapers to reinvent themselves. 
Also, during the 20th century, mass-market advertising increased profitability for newspapers. This attracted large, 
publicly-owned corporations who began buying newspapers from the descendants of company founders. 
 Over the years, people have periodically predicted the extinction of newspapers. In fact, every time a new 
media has come into being, dire predictions have been made for existing forms (e.g. television was supposed to 
have replaced radio, radio was supposed to have replaced newspapers). Yet history has repeatedly shown that 
new media do not replace existing media. Instead, what happens is that media consumption grows, which creates 
the necessary space for the new media to become a part of the media landscape. 
 According to the World Association of Newspapers (WAN), each day more than 1.5 billion people around 
the world read a newspaper. The WAN has also estimated the total annual worth of the global newspaper industry 
 and put it at just under 180 billion USD. Such statistics suggest the newspaper industry is healthier than at any 
other time in its history. Indeed, if the industry proves itself as capable of adapting to change as it has done in the 
past, it is unlikely that newspapers will be disappearing from newsstands anytime soon.

Question 20: The extinction of newspapers_______ 
 A. is a prediction unsupported by past evidence. 
 B. would probably have occurred if radio had been more popular. 
 C. would allow for more media to become part of the media landscape.
