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
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man.
However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred
not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks
before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who
had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five
awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added
in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony.
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on
this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold
medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes
politics plays an important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won
numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War 11.
Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
75. In the first paragraph, "worthwhile" is closest in meaning to _______.
A. economic B. prestigious C. trivial D. valuable
76. The Nobel prize was established in order to ________.
A. recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity
B. resolve political differences
C. honor the inventor of dynamite D. spend money
77. In how many fields are prizes bestowed?
A. 2 B. 6 C. 5 D. 10
78. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. Awards vary in monetary value.
B. Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel’s invention.
C. Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners.
D. A few individuals have won two awards.
79. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Alfred Nobel became very rich when he invented dynamite.
B. Alfred Nobel created awards in six categories for contributions to humanity.
C. Alfred Nobel made a lasting contribution to humanity
D. Alfred Nobel left all of his money to science

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 29 to 33.
Have you ever felt that there aren't enough hours in the day? These days we
have to do our jobs, look after our homes, save energy to help the environment,
and do exercise to stay healthy! Like many of us, Alex Gadsden never had enough
time. He ran a business and a home and needed to lose weight. So he decided to
do something about it. He invented the cycle washer. The 29-year-old now starts
each day with a 45-minute cycle ride. He not only feels healthier but he saves on
his energy bills and does the washing too.
He said, "It gives the user a good workout. I've only used it for two weeks
but I've already noticed a difference." "I tend to get up at around six-thirty now
and get straight on the cycle washer. I keep it in the garden, so it's nice to get out
in the fresh air. Afterwards, I feel full of energy. Then I generally have breakfast
and a shower and I really feel ready to start the day." The green washing machine
uses 25 litres of water a wash, and takes enough clothes to fill a carrier bag. He
normally cycles for 25 minutes to wash the clothes, and then for another 20
minutes to dry them. And it doesn't use any electricity, of course. Mr Gadsden, the
boss of a cleaning company, believes his machine could become very popular.
With an invention which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit and reduces your
electricity bill, he may well be right.

A. The importance of daily exercise
B. Ways to do the washing properly
C. Cycling makes you healthier D. A fascinating invention
81. The word “ran” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to______.
A. moved B. allowed C. managed D. changed
82. According to paragraph 1, what does Alex Gadsden achieve with the
invention of the cycle washer?
A. His electricity bills are reduced.
B. He puts on weight.
C. He helps his wife with the washing-up.
D. He becomes more involved in recycling.
83. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to_______.
A. difference B. the cycle washer C. the fresh air D. workout
84. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Alex Gadsden is positive about the success of the cycle washer.
B. The cycle washer can help you to remain strong and healthy.
C. It doesn't require any electricity to run the cycle washer.
D. Alex's machine isn't effective in terms of cleaning the clothes.
