(II) Many people regard this practice with scepticism or fear. (III) However, there is nothing strange or abnormal about hypnotism. (IV) An early practitioner of hypnotism was Dr Franz Mesmer, from whom the term 'mesmerism' is derived. (V) For one thing, it cannot be imposed upon unwilling subjects and it can be a very effective treatment for certain nervous disorders.

98-(I) The Industrial Revolution started in Britain in the eighteenth century, due to the development of steam power and the invention of certain machines. (II) Watt, Arkwright and Hargreaves were all important inventors in this period. (III) These innovations, coupled with the ability of British traders to create new markets abroad, turned Britain from an agricultural society to a predominantly industrialised one. (IV) However, although material prosperity increased, it was not evenly distributed among the citizens. (V) As a result, there was much hardship in the new industrial towns, which led to the creation of new political and labour movements.
A)I B)II C)III D)IV E)V

99-(I) Feminism, the movement for equal legal and social status for women, arose in response to the hardships that women had suffered over the centuries. (II) Apart from the short-lived gains of the French revolution, women, well into the 1800s, had little or no right to hold property, to exercise authority over children or to vote. (III') The rise of democracy helped encourage women to fight for these rights. (IV) However, although many gains in legal, political and educational rights have been made, full social equality still has to be won. (V) As a result, today more women exercise political power in governments the world over.

100-(I)Betsy Ross, one of a family of flagmakers, who lived from 1752 until 1836, has become very famous for something it is unlikely she did. (II) Her house in Pennsylvania is visited every year by thousands of American children who are brought there on educational trips. (III) The reason for this is that she is reputed to have both designed and made the first United States national flag. (IV) Today's flag has thirteen stripes and fifty stars, although the original one had thirteen of each - one for each state at that time. (V) However, it is almost certain the former claim is untrue and there is little evidence for the latter.

Read the following passages and mark the best
One of the smallest of all mammals is the shrew, a mouse like creature with a head and body length of only 3.8 centimetres. All shrews are small, with dense, velvety fur, long tails, and tiny eyes and ears. Shrews have been called bloodthirsty, though the label is not entirely accurate because they must eat almost constantly to stay alive. The animal is believed to have a very high metabolic rate and cannot live more than a few hours without food. In the absence of normal prey, it will turn to cannibalism to survive. The shrew, or some closely related animal, can be found on every continent except Australia. Since this tiny animal has a reputation for having a very bad temper, the adjective "shrewish" is sometimes used to describe a certain type of women.

35-The passage tells us that the shrew……… .
A)has a very short life span
B)is similar to a mouse in appearance
C)lives in dense forests
D)makes an exceptionally good pet
E)is in the habit of eating every two hours

36-The passage states that shrews……….. .
A)are found in huge numbers in Australia
B)are the smallest living mammals
C)eat each other when they can't find any food
D)feed on the blood of other mammals
E)eat rarely but in large amounts at a time

37-From what is stated in the passage, we can infer that a shrewish woman is someone who………… .
A)has tiny eyes and ears
B)is very fond of velvet and fur
C)keeps shrews as pets
D)easily gets annoyed
E)is noticeably smaller than the average

Over the past 30 years, children's consumption in Britain has increased dramatically. In the average family of two parents and two children, spending on toys and children's clothing has more than tripled, and spending on sweets, ice-cream and soft drinks has risen by one-third. Research has recently found that spending is around £3,000 per child per year. The growth in spending reflects higher living standards, but it has been boosted by the efforts of the advertising industry. Campaigns directed straight at children account for much advertising expenditure. Most children in Britain over eight now have a television in the bedroom; on average, they watch 900 hours of TV a year, which is more than the 750 hours the average child is actually being taught in school. Thus a child could see at least 10,000 commercials a year.
38-The average family 30 years ago………. .
A)bought more children's clothes and books and less ice-cream and candy
B)watched more TV commercials than today
C)had a higher living standard than today
D)didn't have a television set
E)spent far less on children's products

39-One reason that children's consumption in Britain has risen is that……….. .
A)parents tend to have fewer kids now
B)more kids are involved in advertising campaigns
C)researchers advise parents to spend £3000 per year
D)the living standard has risen in the country over the years
E)children have much more money themselves nowadays

40-The author concludes the fact that most children over 8 now have their own television set means…….. .
A)children prefer watching television to going to school
B)children are not as healthy as they were
C)more, children are missing school in order to watch television
D)an increasing amount of commercials are being watched by children
E)children spend a lot of time away from their parents

A movement called Jubilee 2000 is campaigning for Third World debt cancellation as a fitting way to mark the millennium. Launched two years ago, the group is now working in 42 countries, and is now supported by a large number of celebrities. Leaders of the group are harsh critics of the big creditors' role in the developing world. In Tanzania, for example, one child in six dies before the age of five due to the lack of proper health care, but the government spends four times more on paying the interest on its debts than on primary health care. Money needed for health and education programs goes instead to rich international creditors, whose billions have often supported corrupt elites.

41-According to the passage, the purpose of Jubilee 2000 is……… .
A)to hold a charity concert involving a lot of celebrities
B)to allow poor nations to escape paying back large loans
C)to criticise big creditors in the developing world
D)to have a big party on New Year's Eve at the millennium
E)to raise as much money as possible to help poor nations

42-The leaders of Jubilee 2000 argue that………… .
A)42 countries need to have their debts cancelled
B)creditors should lend poor nations more money for primary health care
C)celebrities of the developing countries are not responsible enough
D)celebrities are important in making the world a better place to live
E)paying interest on huge debts is one reason many children die in developing countries

43-The passage implies that ordinary people in the developing world……… .
A)cannot afford to celebrate the millennium
B)should be helped by the big creditors in their countries
C)would benefit from large debts being cancelled
D)are often the ones who haven't received any education
E)are ignorant of basic principles of health care

Palmistry is the practice of 'reading hands', of gaining knowledge about personality, past individual history, and likely future events by examining the shape and size of the fingers and, most important, the lines and bumps on the palms themselves. There is some evidence that palmistry may have begun in the Stone Age. Hand outlines can be seen in black and red pigments on the walls of the ancient caves of Almira in Spain and in other European caves. Palmistry as it exists today probably had its origins in ancient India long before recorded history and found its way into western Europe through nomadic bands of Gypsies, who made contact with Europe in the 15th century.

44-Of the following, the one not mentioned in the passage as part of palmistry is………. .
A)foretelling the future
B)changing the events of the future
C) exploring people's pasts
D)learning about things that may happen
E)learning about character

45-It is stated in the passage that the most essential thing for a palm reader to do is……….. .
A)to examine people's past histories
B)to inspect the fingers carefully
