SECTION 3. READING
VII. Read the following passage
and mark the letter A, B, C or D in the numbered box to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions. (5 points)
EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE
Education is another
area of social life in which information technology is changing the way we
communicate. Today’s college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a
library to learn about their field. Through their computers and the wonders of
virtual reality they can participate in lifelike simulated experiences.
Consider the following scenario of the future of education made possible
through developments in information technology.
For children over the
age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory. Some of the older
children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or
instruction from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work
online from home. Students must complete a minimum number of study hours per
year; however, they may make up these hours by studying at home at times that
suit their family schedule. They can log on early or late in the day and even
join live classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each student is
learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of
hours a week each student studies on-line as well as that of students’ learning
materials and assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and
teachers. The software can then identify the best learning activities and
conditions for each individual student and generate similar activities. It can
also identify areas of weak achievement and produce special programs adjusted
to the student’s needs.
- What
is the topic of the passage?
A. The effect of information technology on education.
B. Students don’t have to go to school any more.
C. Computer software will make sure students learn at
home.
D. Students can know about their weak aspects to
focus.
- How
many times are children who are older than 10 required to go to school
weekly?
A. No time. B.
Once or twice. C. Three. D. Four.
- Who
/ what counts the number of hours per week that students spend learning?
A. Virtual reality. B.
Teacher. C. Parents. D. Computer software.
- What
CAN’T the software do?
A. Monitor the time the students learn.
B. Design materials for the students.
B. Design materials for the students.
C. Find out the best activities for the children.
D. Identify weaknesses of the students.
D. Identify weaknesses of the students.
- What
is NOT mentioned as a benefit
of information technology to the students?
A. Students can stay at home to learn.
B. Students can learn at times that suit their
schedule.
C. Students’ learning time won’t be monitored.
D. Students’ weak achievement can be identified.

Read the following passage and decide which answer best fits each space given.
Write your answer A, B, C or D in the numbered box. (10 points)
You've (1) _________ heard someone
say that the reason you caught a cold was that you were “run down”. People
generally accept that if you are (2) _________ pressure or run down, you are
more likely to get ill. But is this really true (3) _________ is it just an old
wives' tale? The problem with old sayings like this is that it's often
difficult to (4) _________ whether they
are true or not. For example, if you ask people with colds whether they are
feeling run down, they are (5) _________ certain to say yes. People without
colds are more likely to say no. So, how do you (6) _________ if it's the cold that is making them feel run

left to see whether they developed a cold. After many people had been tested,
the researchers looked for a (9)_________ between the measured stress level and
the chances of catching a cold. They found that the higher the stress was, the
more likely the person was to catch a cold. At the moment it is not known why
stress makes someone more likely to become ill, but now (10) _________ the link
