(1) Seeking opportunities to actively use language is very important to reach the goal of fluency in English. Watching TV is one of the effective ways to help strengthen your language skills. Try to find an English TV station and watch often. At first, the actors will seem to speak too quickly, but try to recognize a few words or phrases. Later, it'll become easier to follow dialogue. Pay attention to patterns of pronunciation, and the way that the voices rise and fall when questions are asked and statements are made. Children's shows are great for learning and reviewing basic concepts such as alphabets, counting, object names and more. You can gain some understanding of pop culture and life-styles in another country by watching advertisements and game shows. Watch some English TV, and you'll become an active user of the language of English.
( ) 69. Based on the article, which one of the following statements is NOT correct?
(A)You can learn pop culture and life styles of a foreign culture through TV ads and game shows.
(B)TV programs will get you familiar with patterns of pronunciation in sentences and conversations.
(C) The more you practice English by watching English TV, the more likely you are to become an active user.
(D) You will learn nothing from watching children's shows, even the basic concepts of English.
(2) Steve Irwin, best known as Mr. Crocodile Hunter, is one of the greatest and most passionate environmentalists of our time. He is a man who worked with most dangerous and powerful of creatures.
Unexpectedly and sadly, he lost his life doing a simple act of watching a stingray. He was killed by the sting off the Great Barrier Reef.
Stingrays have a serrated, toxin-loaded barb, or spine, on the top of their tail. The barb, which can be up to 10 inches long, flexes if a ray is frightened. Stings usually occur to people when they step on or swim too close to a ray. Even though the stings can be quite painful, they are rarely fatal. Mr. Irwin died because the barb pierced under his ribcage and directly into his heart. The world was shocked and distressed at Steve Irwin's sudden, untimely and freakish death.
Steve Irwin was the hugely popular Australian television personality and conservationist. There are very few people in this world who actually get to do what they love the most till the very end. And Steve was
just one of the lucky few. His television program "Crocodile Hunter" was first broadcast in Australia in 1992. The program was picked up by the Discovery network, which made Irwin known internationally.
Mr. Irwin was famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchword "Crikey!" in his television program "Crocodile Hunter."
He brought joy and entertainment to millions of people. It's a huge loss to Australia and the rest of the world. "Steve, from all God's creatures, thank you. Rest in peace."
( ) 70. Based on the article, which statement about Steve Irwin is CORRECT?
(A) Steve Irwin keeps himself away from dangerous creatures like crocodiles.
(B) Steve Irwin and the so-called Mr. Crocodile Hunter are very close friends.
(C) Steve Irwin cares a lot about the protection of our planet.
(D) Steve Irwin died from being attacked by a giant crocodile.
( ) 71. What is NOT the characteristic of stingrays?
(A) The barb of a stingray is poisonous.
(B) The barb of a stingray is not longer than 10 inches.
(C) The sting of a stingray barb often leads to death.
(D) The sting of a stingray occurs when people get too close to a ray.
( ) 72. Irwin first became internationally known because of ______
(A) his catchy word "Crikey." (B) his TV program broadcast in Australia.
(C) his enthusiastic interactions with animals. (D) his TV show on the Discovery network.
( ) 73. What is the tone of the writer of the article?

Listen to the passage. Then choose the best answer for each question.
Many people run for sport or exercise. But what if you are not a “born” runner or jogger? Then, why not try walking? Walking is something that almost any normal, healthy person can do. It requires no special equipment. Walking can give you many of the same benefits as jogging or running. Like jogging, walking should have a steady and continuous motion. If you are going to get your exercise by walking, you need to have your own walking program. Set a definite course to walk. Start by walking about 15 to 30 minutes a day. Build up your time and distance slowly. Try increasing your walking speed little by little. In this way, you can benefit a lot from taking a walk.
Question 12: According to the passage, how should walking be done?
(A) In stops and starts.
(B) As fast as possible.
(C) At a steady pace.
(D) At the same time as jogging.
Question 13: Which advice would the author probably agree with?
(A) Walking while window shopping is a lot of fun.
(B) Jog 30 minutes a day to start.
(C) Choose the sports more active than walking.
(D) Increase your walking distance gradually.
