III. Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.
The myth about Bermuda Triangle has been kicking round for more than a hundred years, but really came to
public attention with Charles Berlitz’s 1974 book The Bermuda Triangle Mystery. Allegedly within this area of sea,
vast numbers of ships and planes have disappeared completely, mysteriously and without ưace. It’s sometimes
claimed that they have been ‘stolen’ by flying sauces, and that crews are still alive on some other plane, this time an
asưal one. This is a classic example of creating a mystery where none exists. Nearly all the accidents had normal
causes, such as bad weather, almost always ignored by Triangle writers. Stories are copied from book to book and
article to article, often embellished with fresh, inaccurate details at each stage.
In his book. The Bermuda Triangle Mystery - Solved, Larry Kusche examines many of the disasters and
finds all of them explicable. For example, the all-time favourite Triangle mystery involves Flight 19; five US Army
Air Corps planes which were lost together in 1945. All manned by experienced aircrew, they are supposed to have
disappeared for no reason, out of a clear sky, while in no apparent peril.
In fact, Flight 19 was a training flight, led by a lieutenant who was unfamiliar with the area and whose two
compasses had malfunctioned. The weather was poor. Radio messages indicated that the flight - lacking modem
guidance systems - had become hopelessly lost soon after take-off. They had enough fuel to fly until 7pm, shortly
after the last radio messages were received.
In other words, there is no mystery at all. But as in the other Triangle cases, the storytellers leave out any
information which doesn’t suit their case.
26. Which helped bring the myth about Bermuda Triangle into the spotlight?
A. The Bermuda Triangle Mystery coming out
B. The Bermuda triangle Mystery - Solved being published
C. The case of Flight 19
D. The disappearance of many planes at the same time
27. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the myth?
A. The ships and planes were kidnapped by aliens.
B. How the ships and planes vanished is still a puzzle.
C. The crews are still alive after the incidents.
D. There’re clues about the whereabouts of the victims.
28. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Triangle stories?
A. The underlying reasons for the cases are excluded.
B. There are no supernatural factors underlying them.
C. They are often duplicated in many written documents.
D. Their details are not embroidered while being copied.
29. What is NOT one of the causes of the FlCOight 19 incident?
A. The lieutenant didn’t know this area of sea well. C. Radio communications were cut off.
B. The plane ran out of fuel. D. Its navigation systems were not advanced.
30. The best title for the passage is ………………..
A. Bermuda Triangle incidents - demystified C. The history of Bermuda Triangle - past and present

VI. Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.
The headmaster had gone out of the study for some reason, leaving me alone. In his absence, I looked to see
what was on his desk. In the middle was a small piece of paper on which was written the words ‘English Essay
Prize 1949: History is a string of biographies’. A moral boy would have avoided looking at the title as soon as he
saw the heading. I did not. The subject of the English Prize was kept a secret until the start of the exam, so I could
not resist reading it. When the headmaster returned, I was looking out of the window. I should have told him what
had happened then. I did not. I sat the exam the next day, and I won. I told myself I should have won anyway, but
that is no the point. I didn’t set out to cheat, but it was still cheating nevertheless. That was 38 years ago when I was
18. The fact that the details are so clear suggests that I feel very guilty about it. I have never told anyone about it
before, nor have I tried to explain to myself why not. The obvious explanation is that I could not admit I had seen
the essay title without admitting that I had been looking at the things on his desk. But there must have been more
behind it. I wanted that prize very badly. I think that is the reason I have hidden from myself for so long. I needed
that prize to beat my arch rival. He had already won the English Verse and History Prizes. It would be unbearable if
he managed to beat me again. The prize I chose Poetry of the English-speaking World is still on my bookshelf. I
have often used the book. Inside the cover it says ‘English Essay 1949’.
51. Which of the following statements is the writer’s justification for cheating?
A. The headmaster was away for too long.
B. He had no time to tell the headmaster.
C. He could have secured a victory without cheating.
D. Everyone would have done the same in that situation
52. Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A. The author knew the title before the exam.
B. He frequently reads the book.
C. He made an attempt to explain to himself why he’d kept it a secret.
D. His sin was first made known when he wrote this story.
53. Which of the following indicates the writer’s guilt about his sin?
A. He still recalls it vividly.
B. He still keeps the prize as a reminder.
C. The headmaster knew he cheated in the exam.
D. He thinks he couldn’t have won the prize without cheating.
54. What is the author’s most important reason for cheating?
A. He had a good opportunity to do so.
B. The subject of the essay was in plain sight.
C. He couldn’t own up to looking at things on the headmaster’s desk.
D. He desperately wanted to receive the prize.

III. Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.
Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly cherished
goal. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group organization and
attitudes.
In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse. The group contains nearly all of
each individual’s life. The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each member. There is an interlocking
identity of individual, group, and task performed. Means and goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued.
While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary cooperation is
most often characteristic of many modem societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their
lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the
group is not the first consideration. Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their
cooperation in the form of salary, prestige, or power. Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples
of secondary cooperation.
In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work.
The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic; the organization is loose and fragile.
Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals; it breaks down when the common means
cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and hence the
somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in the first paragraph of the passage?
A. To explain how cooperation differs from competition and conflict
B. To show the importance of group organization and attitudes
C. To offer a brief definition of cooperation
D. To urge readers to cooperate more often
