Reading Section The following text is for questions 16 to 18.

Many people call platypus duckbill because this animal has a bill like a duck's bill. Platypus is an indigenous of Tasmania and southern and eastern Australia. Although it lays eggs instead of bearing its young alive, the platypus is a true mammal, not a reptile. It nurses its young with milk as do other mammals. Platypus has a flat tail and webbed feet. Its body length is 30 to 45 cm covered with a thick and woolly layer of fur. Its bill is detecting prey and stirring up mud. Platypus' eyes and head are small. It has no ears but has ability to sense sound and light. The male platypus has a hollow claw, or spur, on each hind leg. The spurs are connected with poison glands. The platypus poisons its enemies with the spurs. Platypus lives in steams, rivers, and lakes. Female platypus usually digs burrows in the streams or river banks. The burrows are blocked with soil to protect it from intruders and flooding. On the other hand, male platypus does not need any burrow to stay.

The following text is for questions 19 to 21

An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer, also known as a seismograph. The moment magnitude of an earthquake is conventionally reported, or the related and mostly obsolete Richter magnitude, with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly imperceptible and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale. At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by a shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When a large earthquake epicenter is located offshore, the seabed sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a tsunami. The shaking in earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity. In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event-whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humansthat generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments. An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The term epicenter means the point at ground level directly above this.

19. What is the text mainly about? A. Hypocenter D. Seismograph B. Earthquake E. Natural phenomenon C. Seismometer

The following text is for questions 22 to 24 The issue of using drugs to enhance athletes performance is controversial Those who agree to the use of drug in enhancing performance say that most - top players in all sports take drugs to train harder and feel no pain during play. The trainers, sports doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists and managers of the big names make sure banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient levels. The main effect of banning such substances has been to turn performers and their coaches into liars and cheaters. We should legalize performance-enhancing drugs so that they can be regulated and athletes on the way up - whose entourages do not yet include savvy physiotherapists and doctors - don't overdose and do damage themselves. On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport should be banned. Performance-enhancing drugs are not only prohibited because they violate the spirit of sport but because they can damage the health of athletes. The idea of allowing them in sport could lead to a situation whereby sportsmen and women are used as human guinea pigs for a constant flow of new, unregulated substances. The long-term effects don't bear thinking about. To my point of view, athletes best performances must be the result of hard training rather than using performance enhancing drugs.

22. What make people disagree with the use of performance enhancing drugs? A. Athletes health is badly affected C. Athletes are independent E. Athletes perform better B. Athletes consume more drugs D. Athletes violate the rules

Based on true events, Argo chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisisthe truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA "exfiltration" specialist named Tony Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies. Unlike the more controversial Zero Dark Thirty which has an ending everyone on the planet is aware of, this based on a true story drama tells the little known tale of a rescue operation led by a brave CIA "exfiltration" specialist.

disease and smoking is one of them. And there are many diseases which can develop from smoking and heart disease is one of them. Cigarette smoking is actually a major cause of heart attack, stroke and peripheral vascular disease. Smoking and heart disease may not come hand in hand because not everyone with heart disease used to smoke, but we cant ignore the fact that smokers may develop heart disease in a later time or any other serious disease for that matter. Smoking kills more and more people each year and almost 40% of those who died from smoking die from heart and blood vessel disease. Tobacco smoke contains thousands of chemicals in which many of them are poisonous. Nicotine in tobacco smoke can increase blood pressure causing the heart to work harder. Carbon monoxide replaces oxygen in your blood. Smoking adds to the obstruction of the arteries which can lead to heart attack and other heart-related conditions.
