【 A 】The telephone is widely considered as the most rapidly evolving technological device today.

Many experts in the field believe that future phones will not only look very different— they may not even be 21 . They may be hidden in jewelry or accessories, or even embedded in the body. They will undoubtedly have a lot of additional features and 22 functions, and users may interact with them in new ways, too. 23 they are still called “phones”—a word meaning “voice” in Greek—making voice calls may no longer be their primary function. With advances in contemporary design and technology, the phones may 24 remote controls, house keys, Game Boys, maps, flashlights, health monitors, recorders, handguns, and so on. 25 , they will be “the remote-control for life.”

【A】 The Retired Senior Volunteer Program ( RSVP ) offers those aged 55 and older a meaningful life through community volunteer service. Volunteers donate their time and energy regularly to

neighborhood watch programs, to helping people recover from natural disasters, and to providing transportation for doctors’ appointments, etc. In fact, plenty of other service opportunities exist for RSVP such as visiting nursing home residents, helping in senior nutrition centers, providing service at civic events, serving in health care institutions, and serving at public libraries.

【B】 During my ninth-grade year, I suffered from anorexia nervosa. It was not enough to be thin. I had to be the thinnest. Now, however, fully recovered, I can reflect back and realize that my wishes were more complex than fitting into size five pants. Many of my subconscious emotions were related to my relationship with my father. As I was growing up, his work always came first. Sometimes I would not see him for up to two weeks. Not only did he devote his whole self to his work, but he expected me to do the same (“You cannot get anywhere unless you go to the best universities!”). Though, consciously, I never felt pressure to please him, I began dieting after the first time he told me I looked fat.

At the time, all I knew was that I had to be skinny—skinnier than anyone else. Every month my father went to Europe for a week or so and on the days he left, sorrow and emptiness consumed me:

Daddy was leaving. Then, I turned to focus on a mysterious weakness—a helpless childlike emotion that came from starving. I liked to know that I needed to be taken care of; maybe Daddy would take care of me.

Now, two years later and thirty-eight pounds heavier, I have come to realize that I cannot alter my father’s inability to express his feelings. Instead, I must accept myself. I know that I am a valuable person who strives to achieve and accomplish. But I cannot strive solely for others. By starving, I attempted to gain pride in myself by obtaining my father’s approval or acknowledgment of my value as a person. But the primary approval must come from me, and I feel secure now that I can live with that knowledge safely locked in my mind.

46. What is “anorexia nervosa” as mentioned in the first paragraph?

(A) It is an inability to express one’s feelings.

(B) It describes a situation of feeling insecure.

(C) It refers to people who are emotionally unstable.

(D) It is an illness that makes one want to stop eating.

47. Why did the writer suffer from anorexia nervosa?

(A) She was told by her father to take care of herself.

(B) She wanted to go to the best university.

(C) She wanted her father’s attention.

(D) She grew up in a poor family.

48. Which of the following statements is true about the writer?

(A) She has problems controlling her tempers.

(B) She is proud of herself for working hard to succeed.

(C) She has had great confidence in herself since childhood.

(D) She has changed her father’s way of expressing himself.

49. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?

(A) To blame her father.

(B) To report a case of child abuse.

(C) To reflect on a stage of growing up.

(D) To teach people how to lose weight.

【C】 Africa is a land of many ethnic groups, but when Europeans carved Africa into colonies, they gave no consideration to the territories of African ethnic groups. Some borderlines were drawn that split same groups into different colonies. Other borders threw different groups together. Sometimes the groups thrown together were enemies.

When the colonies became independent nations, these same borderlines were often maintained.

Today, the Somali people remain split among Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and Djibouti. On the other hand, almost every African nation is home to more than one ethnic group. In Nigeria, for example, live the Hausa, the Fulani, the Yoruba, the Ibo, and many smaller groups.

Conflicts have arisen over the way in which ethnic groups were split apart and thrown together.

For example, a war between Somalia and Ethiopia was fought because Somalis wanted all their people to be a part of one nation. A civil war in Nigeria, on the other hand, was triggered partly by conflicts between ethnic groups within that nation. Similar conflicts between ethnic groups arose in Chad, Zaire, and Burundi as well. One principal goal among African nations today, therefore, is to help make it possible for their many ethnic groups to live together in peace.

50. What happened to the territorial lines drawn in Africa by the Europeans?

(A) They disappeared as the Europeans no longer ruled the colonies.

(B) They were respected by different ethnic groups.

(C) They became borders between countries.

(D) They became war memorials.

51. What does the author think to be a reason for conflicts among the Africans?

(A) Most ethnic groups have established their own countries.

(B) One ethnic group is broken up among different countries.

(C) Some Europeans invaded Africa to increase their colonies.

(D) African nations fought the Europeans to expand their territories.

52. What is the best title for the passage?

(A) War and Peace in Africa (B) Africa: Borderlines Misplaced (C) European Colonization of Africa (D) Africa Recovered and Reconstructed
