A surprising number of popular spectator  sports, for example  football  or  baseball,  (1)          in Europe or the USA in the nineteenth century. This did not happen by  chance. It was the (2)                       of changes in the way people lived in those places at that time. Until then, more people lived In the country than in towns. They worked in small groups and had no regular time off. All this changed with the growth of factories and industry in the nineteenth century, first in Europe and (3)                                 . In the USA. For the first time, most people  began to live in towns, and they found themselves with regular free time. They had more leisure time than ever before.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
We  find  that bright children  are  rarely  held  back  by  mixed-ability teaching.  On  the
contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages  in  streaming  pupils.  It  does  not  take  into  account  the  fact  that  children
develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives  them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with the personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes the work on individual tasks and assignments, they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced works; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer. The advent of the Internet may be one of the most important technological developments in recent years. Never before have so many people had access to so many different sources of information. For all of the Internet’s advantages, however, people are currently becoming aware of some of its drawbacks and are looking for creative solutions. Among the current problems, which include  a general lack of reliability and numerous security  concerns,    the
most crucial is speed.                               
First of all, the Internet has grown very quickly. In 1990, only a few academics had ever heard of the Internet. In 1996, over 50 million people used it. Every year, the number of people with access to the Internet doubles. The rapid growth has been a problem. The computer systems which run the Internet have not been able to keep up with the demand. Also, sometimes, a request for information must pass through many routing computers before the information can be obtained. A request for information made in Paris might have to go through computers in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo in order to obtain the required information. Consequently, the service is often slow and unpredictable. Service  also tends to be worse when the Internet is busiest - during the business day of the Western Hemisphere - which is also when companies need its service the most.
Some people are trying to harness the power of networked computers in such a way  as
to avoid this problem. In 1995, a group of American universities banded together to form what has come to be known as Internet II. Internet II is a smaller, more specialized system intended for academic use. Since it is more specialized, fewer users are allowed access. Consequently, the time required to receive information has decreased.
Businesses  are  beginning  to  explore  a  possible  analogue  to  the  Internet  II.  Many
businesses are creating their own “Intranets”. These are systems that can only be used by the members of the same company. In theory, fewer users should translate into a faster system. Intranets are very useful for large national and international companies whose branches  need to share information. Another benefit of an Intranet is an increased amount of security. Since only company employees have access to the information on the Intranet, their information is protected from competitors. While there is little doubt that the Internet will eventually be a fast and reliable service, industry and the academic community have taken their own steps toward making more practical global networks.
Question 36: In the passage, which of the following ts NOT true of the Internet?
A. It has become increasingly less popular.       B. It has created a sense of financial security
C. It tends to be unreliable                                  D. It is sometimes too slow to access
Question 37: As it can be inferred from the passage, what benefits does Internet II have over
