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
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

II.Read the following passage and answer the following questions. (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. What is NOT mentioned as an advantage of solar cells?
A. They require little maintenance. B. They are non-polluting.
C. They cost little to produce. D. They operate quietly.
4. Which of the following is NOT a traditional source of energy?
A. solar energy B. oil C. coal D. gas
5. Which of the following is the main disadvantage of solar energy mentioned in the passage?
A. It is expensive. B. Solar cells require large areas to operate.

The Americans are keen to win the race to send human beings to Mars. In 1992, the new boss of NASA,
Dan Goldin, called on the American people to be the first to send explorers to another planet in the solar
system. He reminded them of the symbolic gift carried to the moon and back by the Apollo 11 mission. It
bears a message intended for the crew of the first spaceship to visit Mars. Goldin thinks it is time to begin
the preparation for this historic journey. His speech echoed the words of the President, who promised that
in 2019, 50 years after Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon, the first astronaut
would stand on Mars.
By the end of the twentieth century, various unmanned spaceships will have thoroughly investigated the
surface of the planet. But, however clever a robot may be, it cannot match the type of information which
can be gained -from direct human experience. The first geologist on the moon, Harrison Schmitt, was
capable of interpreting the story of the landscape on the spot. Until humans walk on the red deserts of Mars,
we will not be able to determine the history of this frozen world in any detail.

(39 – 43). Read the passage below and then decide whether the statements that follow are True or

Many people now think that teachers give students too much homework. They say that it is unnecessary
for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly
plan the homework tasks they give to students. The result is that students have to repeat tasks which they
have already done at school.
Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet and
comfortable room is in a much better position than a student who does his homework in a small, noisy
room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no
interest at all in their children’s homework.

tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children!
