MY HOMETOWN
I was born in Newcastle, a city in the North East of England. Newcastle is on the bank of the River
Tyne. It is a quite big city of about 200,000 inhabitants. There is a cathedral and a university. There are
five bridges over the River Tyne, which link Newcastle to the next town, Gateshead, where there is one
of the biggest shopping centres in the world, the Metro Centre.
A few years ago, the main industries were shipbuilding and coalmining, but now the chemical and soap
industries are important.
I moved from Newcastle ten years ago but I often return. I miss the people, who are so warm and
friendly, and I miss the wild, beautiful countryside near the city, where there are so many hills and
streams.

Question 44: Newcastle is ____________.

A. a city near the North East of England
B. a city in the North East of England
C. a city in the North of England
D. a small town in England
Question 45: Newcastle has _____________.
A. one of the biggest shopping centers
B. a wild, beautiful countryside
C. a population of about 200,000 people
D. one bridge that links it to the next town

Questions 49 through 53 refer to the following article.

Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than
speech. A little thought will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language. Human
beings have been writing for at least 5,000 years, but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless

Page 8/12 – EHQT_135

 ever since there have been human beings.

When writing developed, it was derived from and represented speech, albeit imperfectly. Even today,
there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we
learn to write; any child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a
normal man cannot be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to
write; in the past, many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even
today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write while some who
learn the rudiments of those skills do so imperfectly. To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not
to disparage the latter. One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes
possible the records that any civilization must have. Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes
us civilized.

Question 49: The author of the passage argues that __________.

A. writing has become too important in today's society
B. speech is more basic to language than writing
C. everyone who learns to speak must learn to write
D. all languages should have a written form.
Question 50: According to the passage, writing __________.
A. is imperfect, but less than speech
B. represents speech, but not perfectly
C. developed from imperfect speech
D. is represented perfectly by speech
Question 51: In the author's judgement __________.
A. writing has more advantages than speech
B. speech is essential but writing has important benefits
C. speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does
D. writing is more real than speech.
Question 52: In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of
__________.
A. people who learn the rudiments of speech
B. people who speak many languages
C. intelligent people who couldn't write
D. severely handicapped children
Question 53: According to the author, one mark of a civilized society is that it __________.
A. affirms the primacy of speech over writing
B. affirms the primacy of writing over speech
C. teaches its children to speak perfectly
D. keeps written records
Questions 54 through 57 refer to the following article.
People commonly complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks. The hours and minutes
seem to slip away before many planned chores get done. According to time management experts, the
main reason for this is that most people fail to set priorities about what to do first. They get tied down by
trivial time-consuming matters and never complete the important ones. One simple solution often used by

Page 9/12 – EHQT_135

 those at the top is to keep lists if task to be accomplished daily. These lists order jobs from most essential
to less essential and are checked regularly through the day to access progress. Not only is this an effective
way to manage time but also it serves to give individuals much-deserved sense of satisfaction over their
achievements. People who do not keep lists often face the end of the workday with uncertainty over the
significance of their accomplishments, which overtime can contribute to serious problems in mental and
physical health.

Question 54: Which of the following is the best title?

A. Common complaints about work
B. Accomplishing trivial matter
C. Achieving job satisfaction
D. Learning to manage time
Question 55: According to the passage, why do many people never seem to have enough time to accomplish
things?
A. they do not prioritize tasks.
B. They get tied down by one difficult problem.
C. They fail to deal with trivial matters.
D. They do not seek the advice of time management experts.
Question 56: In this sentence “One simple solution often used by those ...” THOSE refers to __________.
A. daily lists.
B. trivial matters
C. priorities
D. people
Question 57: One solution to time management problem is to __________.
A. consult time-consuming matters first
B. accomplish time-consuming matters first
C. keep daily lists of priorities and check them regularly
D. spend only a short time on each task
Questions 58 through 60 refer to the following text.
Computerization in high schools in the US has had a good effect on students’ learning. Students today learn
quite differently from in the past. Firstly, computers can help teachers explain the lessons interestingly in the
classroom, which allows students to get a clearer idea about what is being taught. Secondly, CD-ROM and
the Internet can provide students with a lot of data resources that can be gotten by simple keystrokes or
mouse-clicks. This increases the speed at which students learn by minimizing the timespent on searching for
information. To sum up, computerization has enabled high school students to learn in faster, easier and more
efficient ways.

Question 58: According to the writer, computers __________.

A. are not available in high schools
B. are not necessary
C. are helpful to both teachers and students
D. cannot be used as teaching aids.

Question 59: Computers help teachers __________.

A. explain the lessons differently
Page 10/12 – EHQT_135
B. give interesting lessons
C. get a clearer idea about what they are teaching
D. have more time to prepare their lessons
Question 60: Thanks to the Internet, students can ___________.
