The White House, the official home of the United States

president, was not constructed in time for George Washington

to live in it. It was begun in 1792 and was ready for its first

inhabitants, President and Mrs. John Adams, who moved in on

November 1, 1800. When the Adams family moved in, the

White House was not yet complete, and the Adams family

suffered many inconveniences; for example, the main staircase

was incomplete, which hindered movement from floor to floor,and the future laundry yard was merely a pool of mud, so wetlaundry was hung in the unfinished East Room to dry. Thomas

Jefferson, the third president, improved the comfort of the White

House in many respects and added new architectural features,

such as the terraces on the east and west ends. When the

British forces burned the White House in 1814, President

Madison was forced to leave. All that remained after the fire

was the exterior walls; the interior was completely destroyed. It

was not until December of 1817 that the following president,

James Monroe, was able to move into a reconstructed

residence. Since then, the White House has continued to be

modified but has been continuously occupied by each

succeeding USA president.

Feng Shui , which literally translates from Chinese as "wind and

water", is a 4000-year-old system of analyzing and altering the

flow of energy in any environment to produce desired change.

The principle behind Feng Shui is that every physical object in

our surroundings has an influence on our lives. By simply

altering how energy, or "chi ", flows around and through these

surroundings, we can promote happiness, prosperity and good

health, and feel more energetic, positive and passionate about

life. Because in its basic definition Feng Shui is the "Art ofPlacement", Feng Shui practitioners believe that by arranging

your furnishings and decor in a way that aligns with nature, you

invite positive energy (chi ) to aid you in drawing harmony and

good health into your life. According to Feng Shui practitioners,

the easiest way to begin, without hiring a trained Feng Shui

consultant or totally transforming your home or work place, is to

Right now about one billion people suffer from chronic hunger.

The world's farmers grow enough food to feed them, but it is not

properly distributed and, even if it were, many cannot afford it,

because prices are considerably escalating. However, here

arises another challenge; by 2050, the world's population will

have increased by two billion or three billion, which will likely

double the demand for food, according to several studies.

Demand will also rise, because many more people will havehigher incomes, which means they will eat more, especially

meat. Increasing use of cropland for biofuel will put additional

demands on our farms. Therefore, even if we solve today's

problems of poverty and access, which is a daunting task, we

will also have to produce twice as much to guarantee adequate

supply worldwide. By clearing tropical forests, farming marginal

lands, and boosting industrial farming in sensitive landscapes,

humankind has made modern agriculture the planet's dominant

environmental threat. Agriculture already consumes a large

percentage of the earth's land surface and is destroying habitat,

using up freshwater, polluting rivers and oceans, and emitting

greenhouse gases more extensively than almost any other

human activity. To guarantee the globe's long-term health, wemust dramatically reduce agriculture's adverse impacts.

51. One point emphasized in the passage concerning theproblem of hunger is that ----.

A) farmers across the globe fail to produce adequate food

B) people should accustom themselves to eating less so that

chronic hunger can be decisively eliminated

C) half of the world population is also suffering from deadly

chronic diseases

D) the food currently produced is actually sufficient to feed

everyone, but it is not well distributed and is rather expensive

E) the current demand of food is far ahead of the supply, which

is the real culprit

52. As pointed out in the passage, modern agriculture ----.

A) will contribute to the long-term health of the world

B) fails to create much employment in the developed countries

C) has become the primary danger to the environment, as it

causes pollution and destruction of natural habitats

D) can fulfill the challenging task of producing more biofuel and

clearing greenhouse gases from atmosphere in the future

E) should adopt innovative farming techniques to feed the

increasing global population

53. According to the information given the passage, whichof the following questions can easily be answered?

A) What damages is agriculture causing to our world?

B) What are the advantages of modern farming techniques?

C) What is the real reason behind the rapid population growth?

D) How many tropical species have become extinct?

Texting or checking social media or responding to email or

reading the news or checking the weather or watching a video

while walking is a popular phenomenon. It is so common that it

no longer causes the annoyance it once did. We have all been

captivated by the notification icons on our phones, so virtually

no one is paying attention to where they are going. Our mobile

devices are heavily integrated into our lives. It is one of the first

things we reach for in the morning, and when we get out, the

phone is often in our hands as we walk through the parking lotto the store we visit. The distraction actually makes us a

vulnerable target or put us in front of a moving vehicle.

However, the text-walkers are less awkward than we might

think. Why don't they fall down or walk into other people?

Research suggests that these text-walkers adopt protective

measures to minimize the risk of accidents when walking. They

are less likely to trip, because they shorten their step length,

reduce step frequency, lengthen the time during which both feet

are in contact with the ground, and increase obstacle clearance

height. Taken together this creates “an exaggerated image ofwalking”, but it apparently slows the walker enough so that hecan register some of what is happening around him and can

compensate for it.

55. It is pointed out in the passage that although textwalking is dangerous, ----.

A) some texting walkers exaggerate the health risks

B) people reach out for their smart phones as soon as they

wake up in the morning

C) thanks to dedicated walking lanes, people who like playing

with phones never fall over.

D) the city government is encouraging the text-walking by

regulating the traffic lights

E) the text-walkers are less likely to have an accident, as they

walk more slowly and carefully

56. It can be inferred from the passage that ----.

A) everyone using a smart phone in the street is distracted

B) social media provides many important benefits

C) scientists advise taking drastic measures while using social

media on the phone

D) texting or messaging while walking was previously

considered annoying but now it is rather normal

E) recent research reveals the dangers of using phones when

walking in the street

57. The phrase “an exaggerated image of walking ” refers to

----.

A) unusual walking style of text-walkers

B) the distractions in the street

C) precautions taken during walking

D) the text walking lanes

E) people annoyed by text-walkers

58. The passage mainly focuses on ----.

A) the hazards associated with using social media on public

transport

B) how people have improved their walking style while using

mobile phone in order to avoid accidents

C) why people have become so addicted to technology

nowadays

D) benefits of text-walking in urban environments

E) the types of distractions creating risks in the street

Yasuni National Park in Ecuador is considered by many

scientists to be the single most biodiverse spot on the planet,

but one in danger of being lost. Oil companies have found rich

deposits beneath the park’s trees and rivers worth billions of

dollars. Ecuador is a small country in which a third of the

population lives below the poverty line and petroleum already

makes up more than half of its export revenue. It badly needs

the money that oil companies will be happy to provide if further

drilling is allowed to go forward. If Ecuador follows the usualpath of development, this is exactly what will happen, with

disastrous consequences for the park. However, there may be

another way. Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa told the

international community that his country would be willing to

cease drilling and leave Yasuni intact in exchange for donations

equal to $3.6 billion over 13 years, or about half the expected

market value of the park’s oil deposits. The Yasuni Plan, while

conserving the park’s unique biodiversity, would be a first for

global environmental policy, recognizing that the international

community has a financial responsibility to help developing

nations preserve nature.

59. It is understood from the passage that ----.

A) oil companies favour those countries that are rich in

biodiversity

B) South American countries are particularly prone to

environmental problems

C) developing countries are often forced to destroy their natural

habitat in return for money

international community

C)

it actively supports the destruction of a national park inEcuador

D) it has stated that other countries should follow the

Ecuadorian example

E) it recognizes the need to conserve some parts of the national

park while drilling for oil in other parts

61. The reason why Yasuni National Park is valuable formany scientists is that ----

A) it supports a third of the population of Ecuador

B) oil companies are in competition to drill in the area

C) there are rich oil reserves beneath the park

D) it possesses precious tree species nourished by a river

E) it is the richest area in the world in terms of its biodiversity

62. According to the passage, Ecuador is a country ----.

A) that is insensitive towards the environment

B) that heavily depends on the revenues derived from oil

C) which has started to overcome poverty
