Part V. READING
Exercise 9. Read
the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Millions
of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered
unusual not to use one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with
young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication
- having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The
explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health
professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people
may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious
debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They
say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On
the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some
people who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and
head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling
salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't
remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This
man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of
his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile
phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What
is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation.
High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones.
Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the
amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that
it's best to use mobile phones less often.
106. The most
suitable title for the passage could be ____.
A. Technological Innovations and
Their Price
B.
The Importance of Mobile Phones
C.
Mobile Phones: A Must of Our Time

C.
they are the only effective means of communication
D. they make them look more
stylish
108. According to the
passage, the changes possibly caused by the cellphones are mainly concerned with ____.
A. the smallest units of the
brain B. the central unit of the brain
C.
the structure of the brain D. the long-term memory
109. The words negative publicity in paragraph 2 most
likely means ____.
A.
information on the lethal effects of cellphones

the negative public use of cellphones
C. widespread opinion about bad
effects of cellphones

constructive ideas about the effects of cellphones
110. The word their in the last paragraph refers to ____.

Exercise 10. Read
the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
REALITY TELEVISION
Reality,
television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents
unscripted dramatic or humourous situations, documents actual events and
features ordinary people rather than professional actors. It could be described
as a form of artificial or "heightened" documentary. Although the
genre has existed in some form or another since the early year of television,
the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000.
Reality
television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from games to
quiz shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a
modern example is Gaki no Tsukai), to surveillance - or voyeurism - focused
production such as Big Brother.
Critics
say that the term "reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that
such shows frequently portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality,
with participants put in exotic locations or abnormal situations, sometimes
coach to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen
manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques.
Part
of reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people
in extraordinary situations. For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an
eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously, travelling on extraordinary
dates to scenic locales. Reality television also has the potential to turn its
participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance
programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big Brother
participants also reach some degree of celebrity.
Some
commentators have said that the name "reality television" is an
inaccurate description of several styles of program included in the genre. In
competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other
special-living-environment shows like the Real World, the producers design the
format of the show and control the day-to-day activities and the environment,
creating a completely fabricated
world in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the
participants, and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges, events, and
settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett,
creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed with this
assessment, and avoids the word "reality” to describe his shows; he has said,
"I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted
drama."
111. In the first
line, the writer says “it is claimed” because ____.
A. he wants to distance himself
from the statement
B.
he totally disagrees with the statement
C.
everybody except the writer agrees with the statement
D.
he wants to emphasize that it is his own claim
112. The word demeaning in paragraph 2 is closest in
meaning to ____.
A.
valueless B. humiliating C. despising D.
diminishing
113. According to the
passage, Reality TV appeals to some because ____.
A.
it uses exotic locations
B.
it shows eligible men dating women
C.
it can turn ordinary people into celebrities
D. it shows average people in
exceptional circumstances
114. According to the
passage, the program “Pop Idol”
____.
A. is more likely to turn its
participants into celebrities than Big Brother
B.
turns all participants into celebrities
C.
is a dating show
D.
is less likely to turn participants into celebrities than Big Brother
115. Producers choose

A.
to make an imaginary world B. on the ground of talent

____.
A.
for talent and performance programs B. for
special-living-environment program

for all programs D. for Big Brother and Survivor
