1. A powerful storm in January 2009 hit western France with wind speeds over 120 mph, flattening forests and power lines. It created a small island that emerged in the Atlantic Ocean near the estuary of the River Gironde.
2. Locals named the island "The Mysterious Isle". Scientists saw it as a unique opportunity to study the creation and development of a new ecosystem, as it was quickly colonized by seabirds, insects and vegetation.
3. However, the island also attracted many human visitors in powered boats and for parties, making it difficult to protect the site from overuse.
Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, became wealthy but later regretted inventing such a destructive substance. Before his death, he established the Nobel Prizes to honor people who make significant contributions to humanity in the fields of literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, peace, and later economics. The prizes are awarded annually on December 10th, the anniversary of Nobel's death, and consist of a gold medal, diploma, and monetary award drawn from the interest on Nobel's original 9 million dollar legacy. Americans have won numerous science prizes but relatively few literature prizes. Some individuals have received two Nobel Prizes over their lifetime.

La giornata mondiale contro la violenza sulle donne è stata indetta nel 1999 dall’ONU ed ogni anno torna per ricordarci che le donne sono sempre più vittime di maltrattamenti, abusi e violenze.
Ma mai come quest’anno la giornata mondiale contro la violenza sulle donne è cruciale per dire basta a questo fenomeno di cui sentiamo sempre più parlare: non passa giorno in cui non leggiamo sui giornali la parola ‘femminicidio’, il tremendo epilogo di storie che nella maggior parte dei casi nascono proprio da atti di violenza. Solo in Italia, 1 donna su 3 ne è vittima; Si registrano 74.000 stupri all’anno, tra tentati e consumati: questo comporta una media di 200 al giorno; 7 casi di violenza su 10 avvengono fra le mura domestiche per opera del partner o dell’ex partner. Solo l’1% di questi alla fine viene condannato. Si tratta di fenomeni in crescita, che spesso nascono tra le mura di casa e vedono come protagonisti perdono e negazione. “Non lo farà più”, “era molto nervoso”, “è stata colpa mia, lui non voleva farlo”, sono frasi che le donne dicono per ovviare al problema, per non vedere, per convincersi che non si sono sbagliate su quella persona; ma vanno al di là dell’ingenuità e sono spesso dette per cercare di salvare la famiglia, non far sì che i figli si allontanino dal padre perché, dopotutto, è pur sempre il padre. Ma non è così: un uomo che ci ama, e che ama la sua famiglia, non ci mette le mani addosso: ed anche il più piccolo atto di violenza, se riconosciuto, è cruciale al fine di evitare una tragedia.

The document discusses several perspectives on why the number of overweight children is increasing in developed countries. Some argue it is due to the growing availability of fast food outlets. Others believe parents are responsible for not properly managing their children's health and diet. The response agrees both factors likely contribute to the problem.

Part 2: The passage below contains 10 mistakes. Underline the mistakes and write their correct forms in the
space provided in the column on the right. (0) has been done as an example.
A feminine is a person, usually a woman, who believes that women should be regarded as
equally to men. She, or he, deplores discrimination against women in the home, place of
work or anywhere, and her principle enemy is the male chauvinist, who believes that men
are naturally super. Tired of being referred to as “the weaker sex”, women are becoming
more and more militancy and are winning the age-old battle of the sexes. They are sick to
death of sexy jokes which poke fun at women. They are no longer content to be regarded as
second-class citizens in terms of economic, political and social status. They criticize beauty
contests and the use of glamour female models in advertisements which they describe as
the exploit of female beauty, since women in these situations were represented as mere sex
objects. We no longer live in the male-dominate societies of the past. Let us hope,
moreover, that the revolution stops before we have a boring world in which sex doesn’t
make much difference. We already have unisex hairdressers and fashions. What next?

Part 2: Read the following passage and answer the questions from 101 to 110.
101. ______
Telephone, television, radio, and the telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these
devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the
results of an election in Japan or Argentina. An international soccer match comes into the home of everyone with a
television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood can bring help from distant countries. Within hours,
help is on the way.
102. ______
How has speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of
course, this does not mean that the world is physically smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the
continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach the Americas. This time
difference influenced people's actions. For example, one battle in the war of 1812 between the English and the United
States armies could have been avoided if the warring sides had known that a peace agreement had already been
signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During those six weeks,
the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought and many lives were lost.
103. ______
An important part of the history of the world is the history of communication. In prehistoric times, people had
limited knowledge of the world. They had little information about geography, the study of the Earth. People knew very
little beyond their small groups except what was happening near their homes. Later, people were organized into villages,
and verbal communication between small towns was possible. Still, the people’s knowledge was limited because they
had no outside information. Kingdoms and small countries then developed, with a king directing the people. Cities
developed, too, but still communication was limited to the small geographical area of the country. Much later in history,
after the invention of the printing press, many more people learned to read, and communication was improved.
104. ______
In this modern age, communication is so fast that it is almost instant. People's lives have been changed
because of the immediate spread of news. Sometimes the speed is so great that it does not allow people time to think.
For example, leaders of countries have only minutes, or, at most, hours to consider all the parts of a problem. They are
expected to answer immediately. Once they had days and weeks to think before making decisions.
105. ______
The speed of communication demands a new responsibility from all people of the world. People in different
countries must try harder to understand each other. An example is that people with different religions must try to
understand each other's beliefs and values, even if they do not accept them. Sometimes their cultures are quite different.
What one group considers a normal part of life is strange to another culture. In some cases, a normal part of one culture
might be bad or impolite to people of another culture. That kind of difference is a possible basis for misunderstanding.
People must learn not to judge others, but to accept them as they are. As the world grows smaller, people must learn to
talk to each other more effectively as well as communicate more rapidly.
Match the headings given in the box below with their appropriate numbers (101 - 105) that lead the five

A. A disadvantage of fast communication

Part 3: Read the following passage and complete the statements that follow by circling A, B, C, or D to indicate
your answer which you think fits best.
Bringing up children
Where one stage of child development has been left out, or not sufficiently experienced, the child may have to
go back and capture the experience of it. A good home makes this possible - for example, by providing the opportunity
for the child to play with a clockwork car or toy railway train up to any age if he still needs to do so. This principle, in fact,
underlies all psychological treatment of children in difficulties with their development, and is the basic of work in child
clinics.
The beginnings of discipline are in the nursery. Even the youngest baby is taught by gradual stages to wait for
food, to sleep and wake at regular intervals and so on. If the child feels the world around him is a warm and friendly one,
he slowly accepts its rhythm and accustoms himself to conforming to its demands. Learning to wait for things,
particularly for food, is a very important element in upbringing, and is achieved successfully only if too great demands are
not made before the child can understand them. Every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill:
the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry
the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of anxiety in the
child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be
encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is
left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural zest for life and his desire to find out new
things for himself.
Learning together is a fruitful source of relationship between children and parents. By playing together, parents
learn more about their children and children learn more from their parents. Toys and games which both parents and
children can share are an important means of achieving this co-operation. Building-block toys, jigsaw puzzles and
crosswords are good examples.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness or indulgence towards their children. Some may be especially
strict in money matters; others are severe over times of coming home at night, punctuality for meals or personal
cleanliness. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as
much as the child's own happiness and well-being.
With regard to the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental
teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that
Page 6 of 10 pages
7. C:HSG CT 20119_AnhDeAnhCtHsgK11.doc// 1/4/2011//8:53:23 PM
“example is better than precept”. If they are hypocritical and do not practise what they preach, their children may grow
confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been, to
some extent, deceived. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' ethics and their morals can
be a dangerous disillusion.
111. The principle underlying all treatment of developmental difficulties in children ______.
A. is in the provision of clockwork toys and trains
B. is to send them to clinics
C. is to capture them before they are sufficiently experienced
D. offers recapture of earlier experiences

A. in spite of excessive demands being made
B. only if excessive demands are avoided
C. because excessive demands are not advisable
D. is achieved successfully by all children
113. The encouragement of children to achieve new skills ______.
A. should be focused on only at school
B. can never be taken too far
C. will always assist their development
D. should be balanced and moderate
114. Parental controls and discipline ______.
A. serve a dual purpose
B. are designed to promote the child’s happiness
C. reflect only the values of the community
D. should be avoided as far as possible
115. The practice of the rule “Example is better than precept” ______.
A. only works when the children grow old enough to think for themselves
B. would help avoid the necessity for ethics and morals
C. will free a child from disillusion when he grows up
D. is too difficult for all parents to exercise

Part 4: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable sentence from the list A to G for each gap from
126 to 130. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. Then answer the questions from
131 to 140 that follow.
The days when only men would hold management positions are over. (126) __________. Despite a slowing
economy, the number of women in management has risen to 16% in 1995, when it used to be less than 9%. One result
of this tendency is that women are now more accepted in these roles, and it has also been found that women in
management ease tension and gender conflict in the workplace.
A comprehensive nation-wide study of executive performance accidentally found that women scored higher in
almost all areas of performance evaluation, while compiling a large-scale analysis of 425 high-level managers. (127)
__________. They tend to work harder behind the scenes, while men prefer the glamorous, more aggressive side of
management. The masculine approach is more suited to the traditional style of business, where the boss would work
alone and simply dictate orders to his staff. Now, in the global information age, teamwork and partnership are
increasingly important, and these are exactly the areas where women excel.
(128) __________. It may be that the same qualities that make women more effective as managers are also
holding them back. Most women get stuck in jobs which involve human resources or public relations, while their skills
make them highly suitable for this type of work. However, the posts in these areas rarely lead to the top. Ambitious
women are frustrated by this, and many left to start their own companies. Another reason why women are overlooked for
promotion is that men are seen as more dynamic and competitive. Women tend to work for the good of the company as
a whole, while men are looking out for themselves. Some bosses may interpret the feminine approach as showing a lack
of vision. A woman will often adopt the strategy of making people think that they are the authors of new ideas, so that
they will co-operate with her plan. Although this is an effective way of achieving an objective, the result is that she will
lose credit for her creativity and innovation.
It is also surprising to learn that the greatest prejudice against female bosses comes from women themselves. In a
recent Gallup poll, 70% of men said that they would be prepared to accept a female boss, compared to 66% of women.
(129) __________. Since nearly all bosses used to be male, women feel more comfortable being supervised by a man
than by another woman. Some women also feel that a male boss is less demanding and he feels more relaxed about
being in a position of authority. Since women have to work harder to get to the top, they expect more of their staff when
they get there.
In conclusion, although more and more women are rising to higher positions, there are still many deep-rooted
prejudices and double standards that keep them from achieving the very top positions. Companies may say that they
value interpersonal skills, but they still look for a leader who is decisive and a risk taker. (130) __________. Although
women have proved that they are capable of leading a company, it seems that they will not get the chance to do so until
they are prepared to start their own businesses.
A. One possible reason for this is that of tradition
B. Areas where women are particularly effective are in supporting their staff, and sharing information
C. More and more women are moving into top jobs in the USA
D. Although women are not as decisive as men, they still play an important role in social work
E. Although the number of women in middle management is on the increase, there are still few
women running large companies
F. These qualities are perceived as being mainly masculine
G. These positions are held by females
Complete the following statements by circling A, B, C, or D.
131. The participation by women in business management has ______.
A. increased a sexist attitude among men
B. started new business conflicts
C. caused gender conflict among the staff
D. made the workplace more agreeable
132. Women managers are found more skilful in areas where they can promote their ability to ______.
A. build relationships with people B. fight their way to the top
C. deal with their male bosses D. give directions to the staff
133. Women are often overlooked for the top jobs because ______.
A. other women do not like working for them B. they do not take credit for their own ideas
C. they cannot make big decisions D. they leave to start their own businesses
134. Women prefer a male boss because ______.
A. male bosses work harder B. men are more competitive
C. it is more usual to work for a man D. female bosses are more demanding
135. A female boss often demands more of her staff because ______.
A. other women do not like working for them B. she herself has to toil her way to the position
C. she can always make big decisions D. her staff do not tend to submit themselves to her

Part 3: (3.5/20 points)
High-school students are expected to participate more in extracurricular activities and community service in
addition to achieving high grades. Some educators suggest extending high-school education to four years so
that students can achieve all that is expected of them. Others are against the proposal because they think
students would lose interest in school and attendance would drop in the end.
In about 350 words, write an essay that ends with the remark “High-school education should be extended to four years”
to assert your point of view on this question. Use reasons and examples to support your position. You may continue your
writing on the back page if you need more space.
