Eliminating poverty is largely a matter of helping children born into poverty to rise out of it. Once families escape from poverty, they do not fall back into it. Middle-class children rarely end up poor. The primary reason poor children do not escape from poverty is that they do not escape from poverty is that they do not acquire basic mental skills. They cannot read, write calculate or articulate. Lacking these skills, they cannot get or keep a well-paid job. The best mechanism for breaking this vicious cycle is to provide the poor with better educational opportunities. Since children born into poor homes do not acquire the skills they need from their parents, they must be thought these skills in school.

83.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The writer makes the point that once people have overcome poverty, ………. .
A- the skills of reading and writing cease to be important for them
B- they cease to mix socially with the poor.
C- they soon learn to adopt middle class manners and ways
D- it is most unlikely that they will ever become poor again.
E- they become eligible for well paid employment in industry

84.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]According to the writer, is poverty to be overcome, ………… .
A- the only effective means for this would be to provide better education
B- more well-paid jobs should be offered to the poor
C- all children, regardless of their social class should receive the same formal education.
D- middle class children should be given better educational opportunities.
E- the education of children should be based on mental skills alone

85.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The main argument of the passage is that……………. .
A- the elimination of poverty can only be achieved if the poor and the rich attend the same schools
B- middle-class children do not need to learn basic mental skills at school, since they learn them at home
C- the children of the poor must learn basic mental skills at school so that they can escape from poverty
D- since basic mental skills are not being taught efficiently at schools, educational reform is essential
E- a child born into a poor family will inevitably stay poor all through his life






Not just in substance but in manner too, Robin Travelyan, who is the Prime Minister’s new right-hand man, is a politician in the old style. He avoids the flourish, which characterised modern politicians. His speeches are at best unemotional at worst dull. He is all but incapable of inspiring an audience. His pace is inexpressive, solid almost. He evades making promises and is completely lacking in vision. He is a politician whose talent has never been to inspire the mob.

86.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]We can understand from the passage that Robin Travelyan ………….. .
A- cannot keep his feelings from the public eye
B- has, with his speeches, always been able to sway public feeling.
C- is, with his dramatic speeches, a typical politician of our time
D- is trusted and valued by the prime minister
E- is one of those rare politicians who really understands the psychology of the people

87.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]With regard to the Prime minister’s new right-hand man, it is pointed out in the passage that one of his shortcomings as a politician is ………… .
A- his lack of any genuine belief in his own party
B- his inability to follow someone else’s lead
C- his reluctance to commit himself or articulate a vision
D- his tendency to scorn public opinion
E- his fondness for modern political manners

88.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]In this passage, the writer has set out to ……………… .
A- highlight the rare political qualities of the present Prime Minister.
B- criticise modern British politics in the person of the Prime Minister
C- portray the ideal type of a politician in our time
D- account for the failure of the Prime Minister’s previous adviser
E- present a concise study of the political personality of the Prime Minister’s new adviser

Work is central in British culture. When someone asks one “What do you do?”, they really mean “ What work do you do?” when a woman is asked “ Do you work?”, what is meant is “ Are you doing a paid job?” Yet many people without a paid job work at other kinds of productive activities. Women notably, perform an unpaid double shift in the home as housekeepers and mothers. To confine the term “work” to paid employment, therefore, restricts it far too narrowly. There are many other kinds of work, some of which can take more time and energy than we put into our paid employment: from voluntary working in the garden to repairs to the house or the car. In other cultures, work is not highly valued as this; some people value leisure more, and work only as much as they need in order to provide basic necessities

89.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The writer suggests that people tend to regard the word “work” as ………… .
A- referring only to paid employment
B- being limited only to voluntary work
C- relating only to physical effort
D- interchangeable with “leisure”
E- an activity with an end product

90.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The writer points out that, unlike the case in Britain, in some cultures, …………. .
A- work in any form is highly respected
B- unpaid activities such as housework make up virtually the whole of o woman’s day
C- voluntary work is held in high respect
D- it is leisure, not work, that is of primary importance
E- people are unwilling to work to meet even their basic necessities.

91.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Accarding to the passage, unpaid jobs…………. .
A- are invariably more pleasurable than paid ones
B- can be quite as time-consuming as paid ones
C- are always assigned to women rather than to men
D- are not readily available in Britain
E- are rarely taken on by people who go out to work





Alcohol, nicotine and caffeine are psychoactive drugs that are freely available in our society. Their widespread use shows that they provide a common solution to the problems of vast numbers of individuals. The extent and nature of their use if not , however, uniform but varies with the particular sub-culture involved To take alcohol for example, there are wide resemblance between the drinking habits and rituals of merchant seamen and businessmen, between Italians and Jews. Each sub-group in society will have a conception of what is the appropriate situation for a drink; what the permissible and desirable effects of alcohol are; how much it is necessary to drink to achieve this desired state; what is normal and what is deviant drinking behaviour.

92.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]It is pointed out in the passage that psychoactive drugs such as alcohol, nicotine and caffeine are widely used because ………….. .
A- sub-groups in society identify themselves with them
B- people with problems find them helpful
C- their effects have been proved to be harmless
D- they are much cheaper than many other drugs and legally obtainable

C- varies from race to race, culture to culture and class to class
D- is closely linked with the increase of deviant drinking behaviour

94.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The writer points out that there is little agreement among sub-groups………… .
A- about the extent to which psychoactive drugs should be produced
B- about the benefits of psychoactive drugs
C- as regards why Italians and Jews have different drinking habits
D- as to why Italians and Jews have different drinking habits
E- as to how much alcohol can be properly consumed

In the early 1970s, there was a great deal of optimism about improving women’s position ending male privilege and doing away with gender divisions and even gender difference. Equal opportunities legislation was enacted in many countries, and the voice of women’s movement was heard criticising discrimination between the sexes in every sphere of working info. How it is clear that legislation can make only a marginal difference to entrenched patterns of job segregation and inequality. The voices of feminism, too, are varied; some demand equality with men while others pursue the revaluation of women’s skills and “womanly” virtues.

95.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]It is pointed out in the passage that many people in the early 1970s………….. .
A- realised that a majority of women were not genuinely interested in job segregation
B- were doubtful as to whether legislation could improve the position of women in society
C- actively took part in women’s demonstrations against male aggression and dominance in the work-place
D- confidently expected the elimination of the inequality existing between the sexes
E- were scarcely aware of there being any discrimination between the sexes

96.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]According to the author, legislation against gender discrimination ………… .
A- has contributed surprisingly little towards improvement of women’s position in society
B- has been grossly neglected especially in less prosperous countries
C- has, in many countries, already made the position of women fully equal to that of men
D- has brought about a balance in society that satisfies the women’s movement everywhere
E- has been fully successful in eradicating job segregation in industrial countries

97.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]According to the passage, there are people in the feminist movement who ………….. .
A- argue that women don’t deserve equal opportunities with men in working life
B- believe that women’s qualifies have been undervalued and should be reassessed
C- are convinced that women would have a stronger position if they kept their femininity
D- believe that the movement is far from achieving any of its original objectives
E- are concerned that the legislation against sex discrimination in working life may be revoked in the near future.



All of us are born, and all of us will die; but there is infinite variety in the nature and circumstances of these two events themselves and in what happens to our bodies and our minds in between. Some individuals, for example, are born without difficulty and grow uninterruptedly during childhood and adolescence, suffering at worst only minor infectious diseases and accidents. As adults, they reproduce their kind. They age gradually until, in extreme old age, they die peacefully without pain or discomfort. This is an idealised picture of how we would like things to be, rather than the reality that most people experience. Death comes to many of us, not when we are very old, but during or before birth, in infancy, in adolescence, in early adulthood or in middle age.

98.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]One point made by the author in this passage is that we, as human beings, ………… .
A- must face the fact that accidents in old age are inevitable
B- have all similar opportunities but use them differently
C- all enjoy a happy childhood and a healthy adolescence
D- ought to take certain measures to avoid infections diseases in childhood
E- have widely differing experiences of birth, life and death

99.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The writer points out that, though most people expect life to be free of care and death easy, …….. .
A- this is not likely to happen either in adolescence or in adulthood.
B- they have to strive hard to attain this idealised condition
C- this is, in fact, very rarely the case
D- for many people a worthwhile life has more to it than this
E- this is said in the case except in old age

100.In this passage the writer points out the disparity between ………… .
A- the basically fortunate lives of the majority and the tragic experiences of a small minority
B- what everyone expects of life and what he actually achieves in life
C- the early happy years of our lives, and the later, tragic ones
D- the near ideal life experience of the few and the actual life experience of the majority
E-the happier middle years of a person’s life and the more trying later years
