 POWERING THE FUTURE 
 Fortunately, there are forms of renewable energy out there. They also come from nature and 
don’t (31) the environment as much as fossil fuels. Furthermore, they aren’t 
consumed to produce energy, so we can use them again and again. One form of renewable energy 
is solar energy. Solar energy uses solar panels, which collect sunlight and (32) .it 
directly into electricity. 
 Another form of renewable energy is wind energy. Like an extremely large pinwheel, wind 
turbines have blades that rotate when the wind blows, and this movement (33) .. 
electricity. Some solar and wind energy power plants are connected to batteries so they can 
supply electricity (34) . when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. 
 One form of renewable energy that has been around for a very long time is hydropower. 
Hydropower is energy produced by falling and running water. Hydropower technologies can be 
as simple as a watermill on a stream or as complex as a hydroelectricity dam. Hydropower is a 
great (35) .. of renewable energy: in Washington state (in the USA), for instance, it 
produces approximately 75% of the entire state’s energy!

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 36 to 42. American movies create myths about college life in the United States. These stories are 
entertaining, but they are not true. You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand 
what college is really like. 
 Thanks to the movies, many people believe that college students party and socialize more than 
they study. Movies almost never show students working hard in class or in the library. Instead, 
movies show them eating, talking, hanging out, or dancing to loud music at wild parties. While it 
is true that American students have the freedom to participate in activities, they also have 
academic responsibilities. In order to succeed, they have to attend classes and study hard. 
 Another movie myth is that athletics is the only important extracurricular activity. In fact, there 
is a wide variety of nonacademic activities on campus such as special clubs, service organizations, 
art, and theater programs. This variety allows students to choose what interests them. Even more 
important, after graduation, students’ résumés look better to employers if they list a few 
extracurricular activities. 
 Most students in the movies can easily afford higher education. If only this were true! While it 
is true that some American college students are wealthy, most are from families with moderate 
incomes. Up to 80% of them get some type of financial aid. Students from middle and lower-
income families often work part-time throughout their college years. There is one thing that many 
college students have in common, but it is not something you will see in the movies. They have 
parents who think higher education is a priority, a necessary and important part of their children's 
lives. 
 Movies about college life usually have characters that are extreme in some way: super athletic, 
super intelligent, super wealthy, super glamorous, etc. Movies use these stereotypes, along with 
other myths of romance and adventure because audiences like going to movies that include these 
elements. Of course, real college students are not like movie characters at all. 
 So the next time you want a taste of the college experience, do not go to the movies. Look at 
some college websites or brochures instead. Take a walk around your local college campus. Visit 
a few classes. True, you may not be able to see the same people or exciting action you will see in 
the movies, but you can be sure that there are plenty of academic adventures going on all around 
you !

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 43 to 50. 
 The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes 
as a severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have 
an irrational fear of hospitals and anaesthetics. Patients do not often believe they really need 
surgery- cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs. 
 In the early year of the 20th century, there was little specialization in surgery. A good 
surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation that had been advised up to that time. 
Today the situation is different. Operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed 
of fifty years ago. The heart can be safely opened and its valves repaired. Clogged blood vessels 
can be clean out, and broken ones mended and replaced. A lung, the whole stomach, or even part 
of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a comfortable and satisfactory life. 
However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation. 
 The scope of surgery has increase remarkably in the past decades. Its safety has increased, 
too. Deaths from most operations are about 20% of what they were in 1910 and surgery has been 
extended in many directions, for example, to certain types of birth defects in new born babies, and 
at the other end of the scale, to life-saving operation for the octogenarian. The hospital stay after 
surgery has been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations. Most patients are out 
of bed on the day after an operation and may be back at work in two or three weeks. 
 One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants. Until a 
few decades ago, no person, except an identical twins, was able to accept into his body the tissues 
of another person without reacting against them and eventually killing them. Recently, however, it 
has been discovered that with the use of X-rays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues 
from one person to another which will survive for periods of a year or more. Kidneys have been 
successfully transplanted between non-identical twins. Heart and lung transplants have also been 
reasonably successful. 
“Spare parts” surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still 
a dream of the future but surgery is ready for such miracles. In the meantime, you can be happy if 
the doctors say to you: “Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition.” 
Question 43. Most people are afraid of being operated on _______. 
 A. in spite of improvements in modern surgery 
 B. because they think modern drugs are dangerous 
 C. because they do not believe they need anesthetics 
 D. unless it is an emergency operation 
Question 44. Surgeons in the early 20th century compared with modern ones _____ . 
 A. had less to learn about surgery B. needed more knowledge 
 C. were more trusted by their patients D. could perform every operation known today Question 45. A patient can still live a comfortable life even after the removal of _____. 
 A. his brain 
 B. a major organ such as the stomach or one lung 
 C. his lungs 
 D. part of the stomach or the whole liver 
Question 46. The word “clogged” is most likely to correspond to _____. 
 A. clean B. blocked C. covered D. unwashed 
Question 47. Today, compared with 1910 _________. 
 A. 20% fewer of all operation patients die 
 B. 20% of all operation patients recover 
 C. operation deaths have increased by 20% 
 D. five times fewer patients die after being operated on 
Question 48. What is the similar meaning to the word “octogenarian ” ? 
 A. eighteen-year-old B. person in his eighties 
 C. person having eighth operation D. eye specialist 
Question 49. The main difficulty with organ transplants is _____. 
 A. it is difficult to find organs of the same size 
 B. only identical twins can give permission for their organs to be exchanged 
 C. the body’s tendency to reject alien tissues 
 D. the patient is not allowed to use drugs after them 
Question 50. You can be happy if your surgeon can operate because it means ______. 
 A. he thinks your condition may be curable B. he is a good doctor 
 C. he knows you will survive D. you are getting better already.
