The Slow Food movement was initiated when a European journalist, Carlo Petrini, saw that a fast-food restaurant
had opened in a beautiful square in Rome. He thought it was tragic that many people today live too 11 to si t down
for a proper meal and only eat 12 fast food. He decided that he has to try to do something about it, 13 he
started the Slow Food movement. 14 he didn't succeed in banning that fast-food restaurant, Slow Food has
become a global organization and now has more than 80,000 members in 100 countries.
Slow Food also encourages people to eat local and regional food, to use local shops and markets, to eat out in
small family restaurants, and to cook 15 traditional recipes. As member Jon Winge says, "I think it's such a
cool idea. You support the people who produce beautiful products for you.”

When a melting glacier released its hold on a 4,000-year-old corpse in September, it was quite rightly called one
of the most important archaeological findings of the century. 16 by a German couple hiking at 10,500 feet in
the Italian Tyrol near the Austrian border, the partially freeze-dried body still wore remnants of leather garments and
boots that had been 17 with straw for insulation. At his side was a bronze ax of a type 18 in southern
central Europe around 2000 B.C. On his expedition he had carried an all-purpose stone knife, a wooden back-pack, a
bow and a quiver, a small bag 19 a flint lighter and kindling, and an arrow repair kit in a leather pouch. Such
everyday gear gives an unprecedented perspective on life in early Bronze Age Europe. “The most exciting thing is that
we genuinely appear to be looking at a man who had some kind of 20 in the course of a perfectly ordinary
trip,” says archaeologist Ian Kinnes of the British Museum. “These are not artifacts placed in a grave, but the fellow’s
own possessions.”

Scientists in the United States are planning to create lie-detection software for emails and text messages. The new
software is being developed by a team led by Jeff Hancock at Cornell University in New York State. "We asked
people to come into the labs and write lies and we had other people come in and write the truth," says Hancock. "Using
this method, we've developed a database of tens of thousands of emails.”
The scientists have analyzed the data and identified a number of methods to predict whether or not a person is
lying. One of the most important methods is the length of a message. Lying emails have, on average, 28% more words
than truthful messages. Another method is the overuse of sense words, such as "see," "feel," and "touch." "When you're
lying, you want the other person to believe you, so you give more details," says Hancock.
Liars also tend to use pronouns like "we" and "they" rather than "I" as a way of distancing themselves from a lie
because they feel guilty. "People often use negative emotional words too, because they feel uncomfortable when they're
lying," says Hancock. "So they will use terms like "sad," "angry," "unhappy" and "stressed."
Previous research has shown that up to one third of communications at work involve lying of some sort. The most
common workplace lie is pretending to be sick to avoid going to work.
But Peter Collett, a psychologist who has written a book on lying, is skeptical about Hancock's work. "You can
see if somebody is lying by looking at their body language, how fast they talk, and how they speak," he says. "How can
a computer program see all this? They've clearly done a lot of research, but with emails all you have is words."
21 Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
New Computer Software to Catch Lying Emails New Computer Software to Analyze Vocabulary
New Computer Software to Warn People Not to Lie New Computer Software to Help Conduct Research
22 Which of the following statements is true about Hancock's experiment?
The same group of people were asked to come into the labs to write both lies and the truth.
The scientists are developing some methods to detect if a person is lying in emails.
The scientists took advantage of previous database of numerous emails.
His experiment found around 28% of communications at work were lies.
23 According to the passage, which of the following signs could appear in lying emails?
fewer pronouns in a message being poorly written with grammatical errors
containing an unexpected zip file more words in a message
24 Why does the psychologist Peter Collett disagree on Hancock's method?
Because he believes that body language can detect lies.
Because he is unconvinced that computers can detect lies.
Because his published book proves Hancock's experiment wrong.
Because he doubts that the speed of talking can be a better indicator.
25 According to Hancock, which of the following words is NOT likely to be found in a lying email?
irritated grieved anxious blessed

Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Electronic technology includes 26 and
equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets as well as communication tools including social media sites, text
messages, chat, and websites. Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, ru mors sent by email
or posted on social networking sites, and 27 pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles. Kids who are being
cyberbullied are often bullied in person as well. Additionally, kids who are cyberbullied have a 28 time getting
away from the harm. Cyberbullying can happen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and reach a kid even when he or she is
alone.
Cyberbullying messages and images can be posted anonymously and 29 quickly to a very wide audience.
It can be difficult and sometimes impossible to trace the source. Deleting inappropriate or harassing messages, texts,
and pictures is extremely difficult after they have been posted or sent.
Cell phones and computers themselves are not to blame for cyberbullying. Social media sites can be used
for 30 activities, like connecting kids with friends and family, helping students with school, and for
entertainment. But these tools can also be used to hurt other people. Whether done in person or through technology, th e
effects of bullying are similar.

When people talk about Concorde, they tend to describe it the way one might describe Princess Diana: charming,
elegant, and classic. The retired supersonic passenger airliner, still 31 a remarkab le achievement o f the engi neering,
first entered service in 1976. It had the most powerful and efficient engines at supersonic speeds. During flight, it would

thus used to help reflect and radiate the heat.
Concorde used to fly regularly from London and Paris to New York and Washington. It flew these routes in 33 half
the time of other airlines. A trip from London to New York with Concorde took nearly three hours and thirty minutes as
opposed to eight hours with Boeing 777 or Airbus 330. That is to say, it was not 3 4 for business people to take a
day trip to New York and return home in London before pubs closed. With only 20 aircraft built, 35 , Concorde
was not a success in terms of economic profit. After the aircraft’s only crash in 2000 and the 911 terrorist attack in 2001,
Concorde was retired in 2003, bringing to an end the era of supersonic passenger transportation.

Marianne Moore (1887-1972) once said that her writing could be called poetry only because there was no other
name for it. Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed essays that happen to be printed in jagged lines on
the page. Her subjects were varied: animals, laborers, artists, and the craft of poetry. From her general reading came
quotations that she found striking or insightful. She included these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotation
marks and sometimes identified in footnotes. Of this practice, she wrote, “‘Why the many quotation marks?’ I am
asked. . . when a thing has been said so well that it could not be said better, why paraphrase it? Hence my writing is, if
not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of collection of flies in amber.” Close observation and consentration on detail are the
methods of her poetry.
Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St. Louis. After graduation from Bryn Mawr College in
1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian school in Carlisle, Pennsylvannia. Later, she became a librarian in
New York City. During the 1920’s, she was editor of The Dial, an important literary magazine of the period. She lived
quietly all her life, mostly in Brooklyn, New York. She spent a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by animals. Her
admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers—before the team moved to Los Angeles—was widely known.
Her first book of poems was published in London in 1921 by a group of friends associated with the imagist
movement. From that time on, her poetry has been read with interest by succeeding generations of poets and readers. In
1952, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her Collected Poems. She wrote that she did not write poetry “for money
or fame. To earn a living is needful, but it can be done in routine ways. One writes because one has a burning desire to
objectify what is indispensable to one’s happiness to express....”
41 According to this passage, which of the following is NOT a subject in Moore's writing?
Artists. Fossils. Animals. Workers.
42 What does Moore refer to as "flies in amber"?
Concentration on details. Quotations in her poetry.
Poetry in the twentieth century. A common image in her poetry.
43 According to the passage, which of the following jobs was not held by Moore?
Teacher. Librarian. Magazine editor. Commercial artist.
44 What is this passage mainly about?
The use of quotations in poetry. Essayists and poets of the 1920’s.
Marianne Moore’s life and work. The influence of the imagism on Marianne Moore.
45 According to the passage, which of the following can be inferred about Moore’s poems?
They tend to be subjective. They were all published in The Dial.
They do not use traditional verse forms. They are better known in Europe than in the US.

Are you interested in making a French omelet? Below are some steps you may follow:
First, whisk together the eggs until just mixed, then season. Lay out any fillings by the hob. Second, heat a pan over a
medium-high flame and add the butter and “swirl” to coat. When the foam begins to die down, pour in the eggs. They
should sizzle. Third, shake the pan to distribute the eggs evenly, then leave for 20 seconds until they begin to bubble.
Add any filling such as onion, corn, mushrooms, etc. Next, use a fork to draw in the sides of the eggs to the center
while shaking the pan to redistribute the liquid to the edges. The omelet is done when still slightly runny in the middle.
Finally, take off the heat, and fold two edges into the middle. Shake the pan so they roll together, then tilt it and turn
your omelet on to a warm plate (you can tidy it up before serving if you like). Season with salt and pepper, and then eat
immediately!
What’s your favorite omelet recipe, and are you a stirrer or a shaker? And can these delicate French omele ts ever
compete with a whopping British half moon, oozing with cheese, and served with chips?
46 What is the best title for this passage?
How to Make a French Omelet
How to Use Instruments to Make Omelets
How to Distribute Eggs When Making an Omelet
How to Distinguish French Omelets from British Half Moons
47 According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
The butter should be put into a pan after the pan is heated.

Beat. Stir. Press. Burn.
