The United Nations, Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has drafted the following definition: “Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written' materials (63) ___ with varying contexts.

A. concept B. content C. contact D. context Read the following passage and indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Bringing up children Where one stage of child development has been left out, or not sufficiently experienced, the child may have to go back and capture the experience of it. A good home makes this possible - for example, by providing the opportunity for the child to play with a clockwork car or toy railway train up to any age if he still needs to do so. This principle, in fact, underlies all psychological treatment of children in difficulties with their development, and is the basic of work in child clinics. The beginnings of discipline are in the nursery. Even the youngest baby is taught by gradual stages to wait for food, to sleep and wake at regular intervals and so on. If the child feels the world around him is a warm and friendly one, he slowly accepts its rhythm and accustoms himself to conforming to its demands. Learning to wait for things, particularly for food, is a very important element in upbringing, and is achieved successfully only if too great demands are not made before the child can understand them. Every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill: the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of anxiety in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural zest for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Learning together is a fruitful source of relationship between children and parents. By playing together, parents learn more about their children and children learn more from their parents. Toys and games which both parents and children can share are an important means of achieving this co-operation. Building-block toys, jigsaw puzzles and crosswords are good examples. Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness or indulgence towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over times of coming home at night, punctuality for meals or personal cleanliness. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness and well-being. With regard to the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are hypocritical and do not practise what they preach, their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been, to some extent, deceived. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' ethics and their morals can be a dangerous disillusion. 71. The principle underlying all treatment of developmental difficulties in children ___. A. is in the provision of clockwork toys and trains B. is to send them to clinics C. is to capture them before they are sufficiently experienced D. offers recapture of earlier experiences 72. Learning to wait for things is successfully taught ___. A. in spite of excessive demands being made B. only if excessive demands are avoided C. because excessive demands are not advisable D. is achieved successfully by all children 73: The encouragement of children to achieve new skills ___. A. should be focused on only at school B. can never be taken too far C. will always assist their development D. should be balanced and moderate 74: Parental controls and discipline ___. A. serve a dual purpose B. are designed to promote the child’s happiness C. reflect only the values of the community D. should be avoided as far as possible 75: The practice of the rule “Example is better than precept” ___. A. only works when the children grow old enough to think for themselves B. would help avoid the necessity for ethics and morals

Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life. The great ocean basins hold about 300 million cubic miles of water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean. More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the continents. This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent. Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence. The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any other liquid. One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling. For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom. If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer season. Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent. Another outstanding charateristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and solids except ammonia. This characterisitc enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes. In addition, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. It is this characteristic which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down from the continents. In several areas of the world these minerals are being commercially exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely practised, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast. 81: The author’s main purpose in this passage is to ___. A. illustrate the importance of conserving water B. describe the properties and uses of water C. compare water with other liquids D. explain how water is used in commerce and industry 82: The phrase “this vast amount” in line 4 of paragraph 1 refers to ___ . A. 80,000 million cubic miles of water B. 24,000 cubic miles of rain C. 80,000 cubic miles of water D. 300 million cubic miles of water 83: The word “replenish” in paragraph 1 can best replaced by ___ . A. fill again B. replace C. evaporate D. form 84: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because ___ . A. evaporation and condensation create a water cycle B. there are currents in the oceans C. they do not need oxygen D. ice floats 85: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characterisitic of water? A. Water can absorb heat B. Water is good solvent. C. Water contracts on cooling D. Water expands when it is frozen 86: The word “outstanding” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___ A. exceptionally good B. special C. amusing D. important 87: According the passage, the hydrosphere is NOT ___ . A. the part of the earth covered by water B. responsible for all forms of life C. in danger of freezing over D. a source of natural resources 88: The author’s tone in the passage can best be described as ___ . A. dispassionate B. speculative C. biased D. dogmatic 89: The author organizes the passage by ___. A. juxtaposition of true and untrue ideas B. comparison and contrast C. general statement followed by examples D. hypothesis and proof 90: Which of the following statements would be the most likely to begin the paragraph immediately following the passage? A. Water has the ability to erode land B. Droughts and flooding are two types of disasters associated with water C. Another remarkably property of ice is its strength D. Magnesium is widely used in metallurgical processes the end Good luck
