V. READING COMPREHENSION (0.5 pt)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.
Is Australia the world’s largest island or its smallest continent? Actually, it’s both. In fact, Australia is the only country that is also a continent. Although roughly the size of the United States mainland, Australia has a population of about 16.5 million people. That makes this island nation one of the least densely populated countries.
What ethnic groups make up the Australia population? The majority of Australians are of English, Irish, Italian, Greek, Dutch, and Polish descent. However, over the past 50 years, some four million people from more than 120 countries have made Australia their home. This includes a large number of Asian and African immigrants. About one percent of the population is Aborigine. The Aboriginal people were the first settlers in Australia. They came from Asia about 40,000 years ago.
In addition to being the smallest, Australia is also the driest inhabited continent. Lush green pastures may be typical in sheep farming areas. However, most of the land, particularly in the Outback, is so arid that people are unable to live on it in its undeveloped state. That explains why most Australians live in metropolitan areas, many of which line the coast, and why Australia is considered one of the world’s more urbanized countries.
76. The passage mainly discusses the ________.
A. history of Australia	B. population of Australia
B. growth of Australia	D. geographical features of Australia
77. According to the first paragraph, Australia________.
A. is much larger than the US	B. has a large population
C. is one of the countries that has the most population	
D. is one of the countries that has the least population
78. Millions of people from many countries________.
A. immigrated to Australia	B. built their houses in Australia
C. left Australia for Asia and Africa 	D. lived in Australia
79. Why do most Australian live in metropolitan areas?
A. Because most of the land is used for sheep farming
B. Because most of the land is very dry.
C. Because most of the land is covered with green pastures.
D. Because most of the land is already being cultivated.
80. Which of the following sentences is not true?
A. Australia is a large country and continent.
B. Many of Australia’s present inhabitants are descended from English, Irish, Italian, Greek, Dutch, and Polish.
C. Most of the Australia’s land has been used for agriculture, industry, or building.
D. The majority of Australia’s population live in or near the coast.

III. READING COMPREHENSION. (1 pts)
Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer: True (T), False (F).
‘Hello. How are you?’ ‘Good morning,’ ‘Have you eaten yet?’ ‘Where are you going?’ These are greetings which people use in different languages when they meet each other. But what is a greeting?
A greeting is a way of being friendly to someone. It is a way of being polite. It is also a way of starting a conversation. In many languages a question is used as a greeting “where are you going?’ ‘How’s everything with you?’ But questions like these are not real questions. They do not require a full answer or even a true one. In English, the commonest greeting is a question about a person’s health: ‘How are you?’ But we do not expect the person to tell us about their health when they reply. We do not expect them to talk about their headache or their backache, if they have one. People reply to these questions with a fixed expression such as ‘I’m fine, thanks’ or ‘I’m very well, thanks’. In the same way, in countries where people greet each other with ‘Where are you going?, a simple reply such as ‘Just walking around’ is sufficient. It is not necessary to describe where you are actually going.
In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by ‘small talk’. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English- speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: ‘Nice day, isn’t it?’ ‘Terrible weather, isn’t it?’ But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so there are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches people make small talk about the game they are watching: ‘Great game, isn’t it?’ At bus-stops, people may comment about the transport system: ‘The buses are very slow these days, aren’t they?’
Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.
101. People use greetings when they say goodbye to each other.
102. Greetings are often used to start a conversation.
103. The main purpose of a greeting is to get true information from another person.
104. Some languages do not have greetings.
105. The purpose of greetings is the same in all languages.
IV. PREPOSITIONS AND PHRASAL VERBS.
Supply each space with a suitable preposition to complete each sentence.

107. A group of his neighbors said his attitude _________the disaster was wonderful.
108. Steven took a photograph _________his automobile after the accident.
109. Contrary to expectations, the euro fell_________ value.
110. Helen takes _________ her mother in many ways.
111. It was not a problem. We looked _________his number in the telephone book.

113. The computer isn’t working. It broke _________this morning.

V. ERROR CORRECTION (2 pts)
There are ten errors in the following passage. Identify the errors, then underline and correct them. Write your answers in the numbered spaces.
When the first white men came to America, they found vast amounts of nature resources of tremendous value. Forests covered a large part of the nation; later, gas, oil and minerals was found in unbelievable amounts. There was a great abundance of very fertile soil. Forests, prairies, streams and rivers abounded with wildlife. So vast were these resources that it seemed that they could never be used to. So forests were destroyed to make way for farmland. Grassland and prairies were plough and harrowed. Minerals and oil were used in great quantities to supply a young industry nation. Almost every river became the scene of factories, mills and power companies. Mammals and birds were slaughtered with food and sport. 
Within a short time, the results were obviously. Floods caused millions of dollars’ worth of damage year. The very fertile soil washed away or blew up in great clouds. The seemingly inexhaustible oil and minerals showed signs of depletion. Rivers were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from factories. Much of the rivers were made unfit for fish. Several species of birds disappeared and some mammals seemed on the verge of going. Future timber shortages were predicted. In conclusion, Americans soon came to realize that some sort of conserve programs must be set up.
