(10 points)GENDER GAP IN EDUCATIONFor many years now, British girls have performed much better in exams than boys. Most theories about the causes of this gap –(1)—the sexes have blamed the education (2). However, new research suggests that boys’ poor performance has nothing to do –(3)—internal practices at schools. Instead external factors, such as different learning styles and how children are –(4)—up, have to be considered.For this –(5), many educationalists are now studying how boys and girls learn to read. They believe that, since reading is –(6)—taught either by mothers or by female primary school teachers, many boys –(7)—reading as a woman’s activity and this puts them –(8)—it.Another factor could be that boys are generally more –(9)—than girls. When they can’t be the best, they would rather—(10)—up on education that be considered average.

(5 points)WHO IS REALLY ON THE INTERNET?One of the great things about the Internet, as well as one of its biggest problems, is that people are basically anonymous on it. In Internet chat rooms and web café, people can use a different name and even create an entirely different identity if they want to.In some ways, this is a good thing. For many people, it gives them the chance to do things that they could never do in real life. For example, a person might be very shy in real life, but that same person may find the courage to make friends on the Internet because it feels safer. In addition, people in some countries are not free to express their opinions, especially if they don’t like the government. By using a different identity on the Internet, they can express their opinions without worrying about getting in trouble.That same freedom to be “another person” on the Internet, however, causes many problems as well. The major problem is Internet fraud. Many dishonest people use the Internet to pretend to be a different person. Then they trick a person into trusting them in some way and take their money. In one case, two Japanese men lied to Filipinos who wanted to travel to Japan. The two Japanese men told them that they could help them get visas to Japan for a small price (about 400 per person). The two Japanese men took thousands of dollars from hopeful Filipinos, but none of the people ever got their visas. The number of these kinds of crime is quickly rising. Last year, Internet criminals stole over. 350 million from trusting people. When you consider that only 57 million was stolen in bank robberies in all of Europe, it is easy to see that Internet crime is a serious problem.1.The word “anonymous” in bold in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________.A.namelessB. dishonestC. trustingD. criminal2.According to paragraph 2, all of the following are true of the Internet EXCEPT ____.A.it allows people to safely oppose their governmentB.it makes it easier for people to express themselvesC.it gets people in troubleD.it helps shy people make friends.3.The word “they” in bold in paragraph 2 refers to ________.A.peopleB. countriesC. opinionsD. friends4.The author mentions two Japanese men in order to ____________.A.suggest that there is a lot of Internet crime in Japan.B.show that getting a visa is very difficult in Japan.C.give an example of fraud on the Internet.D.show that you shouldn’t trust anyone on the Internet.5.Why does the author mention bank robberies?A.To show that there is more money in Internet crime than in robbing banks.B.To suggest that Internet crime is easier than robbing banks.C.To show that Internet crime is much more common that other types of crime.D.To show that banks are safer than the Internet.V.WRITINGPart 1.Complete the second sentence so that it has the similar meaning to the first one, by using the word given..

Part 3.Read the following passage and answer the question Meeting can waste a great deal of time. But you can make your meeting run more smoothly by following a few simple rules. First, have an agenda. This will help keep you focused on what is important. Next, decide who needs to be involved. More people means less efficient discussion. Finally, keep the discussion moving. Thank each speaker as he or she finishes and move on to the next speaker. This encourages people to make their remarks short. And don’t forget: what happens after a meeting is more important than what happens during the meeting. The skills used then are more professional and less procedural. So no matter how well you rum a meeting, It is the work that gets done after the meeting that is important.1.What is one way to run a meeting well?A.Watch how your manager runs meetings.B.Minimize the number of participants.C.Let the group make decisions.D.Let everyone speak.2.What is the purpose of a meeting agenda?A.To keep the speakers organized.B.To allow free discussion.C.To send to others in advance.D.To keep focused on important items.3.How should you receive other people’s comments at a meeting?A.Try to keep others from talking.B.Thank them and move on.C.Give them as much time as they want.D.Respond in detail to all comments.4.How should people state their ideas?A.SuccinctlyB.
