* Choose the best option to answer the question (from question 41 to 45)
In the 1960’s, the US went through a social revolution commonly referred to as The Women’s Liberation
Movement. One of the goals of this movement was to promote the idea that women are equal to men in
their ability to learn and to succeed in almost any occupation. The movement has benefited women in
many ways, especially in terms of job opportunity and advancement. But it has also created great
confusion regarding manners. Formerly, men were considered the stronger and the dominant sex, so they
adopt a protective attitude toward the so-called weaker sex. That meant helping women on and off with
their coats, lighting their cigarettes, opening doors for them, allowing them to exit from elevators first,
and so on. Today, American women do not consider themselves the weaker sex and do not generally feel
in need of male protection. Most men continue to perform the traditional courtesies, but both sexes are
more casual about them. If a man does not help his girlfriend into or out of her chair in a restaurant, no one will think he is rude.

Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word or phrase. ( from question 41 to 45)
The excitement of snorkeling in a clear tropical sea is hard to explain to someone who hasn’t done it.
If you expect to have the opportunity of trying it when on holiday, it is well worth bringing a snorkel if
you can get hold of one. Experts now recommend a separate breathing tube.
Many swimmers take a deep breath before diving with a snorkel. This is a mistake, because it makes
the body so light that you dive with difficulty. It is best to take a couple of deep breaths and then a normal
relaxed breath in order to breathe in enough for the dive. Don’t take repeated deep breaths before diving
because this can lead to a shortage of oxygen, which causes unconsciousness without warning.
The backs of many swimmers get badly burnt, for the swimmers are so involved in the world below
they forget about the dangers of sunburn. The sea does not protect your backs from the rays of the sun,
and it is best to wear a T-shirt. Swimmers should also consider wearing shoes (or flippers), which may
protect their feet from cuts from sharp rocks which can easily become infected.
41.What does the writer find difficult about snorkeling?
A. doing it in tropical seas. B. explaining the technique to a beginner.
C. doing it for the first time D. describing how exciting it can be
42. Why is taking a deep breath before diving a mistake?
A. You will not be able to dive deeply enough. B. You will not be able to float properly.
C. You will use up too much oxygen. D. You will lose consciousness.

A. research B. obey C. suggest D. reject

* Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word or phrase. ( from question 1 to 5)
The excitement of snorkeling in a clear tropical sea is hard to explain to someone who hasn’t done it.
If you expect to have the opportunity of trying it when on holiday, it is well worth bringing a snorkel if you can get hold of one. Experts now recommend a separate breathing tube.
Many swimmers take a deep breath before diving with a snorkel. This is a mistake, because it makes
the body so light that you dive with difficulty. It is best to take a couple of deep breaths and then a normal
relaxed breath in order to breathe in enough for the dive. Don’t take repeated deep breaths before diving because this can lead to a shortage of oxygen, which causes unconsciousness without warning.
The backs of many swimmers get badly burnt, for the swimmers are so involved in the world below
they forget about the dangers of sunburn. The sea does not protect your backs from the rays of the sun,
and it is best to wear a T-shirt. Swimmers should also consider wearing shoes (or flippers), which may protect their feet from cuts from sharp rocks which can easily become infected.
