Black women.
Immigrant status, age, location and education levels are all factors that influence intermarriage

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
When one hears the expression “role models”, one’s mind naturally jumps to celebrities,
especially as far as young people are concerned. Therefore, it would be more than natural to
assume that teenagers, heavily influenced by the media, are dazzled by well-known Hollywood
stars, famous musicians and internationally renowned athletes. However, nothing could be
further from the truth.
In reality, according to a recent survey, over 75% of teens who filled out an online
questionnaire claimed that the role model for whom they had the greatest respect was not a
famous personality, but a family member. It seems that the qualities that make a good role model
are more complex than researchers first assumed. For example, Nancy L, a teenage girl from
Wisconsin, described her role model as a woman who had a clear sense of what was important to
her, making the effort to create things that would make a real difference in the world. The
woman she was referring to was her favorite aunt, who was a painter and sculptor.
Role models come into young people’s lives in various ways. They are family members,
educators, peers and ordinary people encountered in their daily lives. Students emphasized that
being a role model is not confined to those with international fame or unbelievable wealth.
Instead, they said the greatest attribute of a role model is the ability to inspire others. Teachers
were often mentioned as examples in this case, ones that are dedicated to encouraging students,
helping them push their limits and strengthen their characters.
Another quality high on the list was the ability to overcome obstacles. In addition to
parents, peers often made up a large percentage of such role models. Young people are at a point
in their lives when they are developing the skills of initiative and capability, so it is only natural
that they admire people who show them that success in the face of difficulty is possible.
A final and perhaps unexpected character trait that the youth of today admire is a clear set
of values. Children admire people whose actions are consistent with their beliefs; in other words,
who practice what they preach. Role models help them to understand the significance of honesty,
motivation and the desire to do general good. For example, local politicians who clearly struggle
to improve living conditions in their cities are high on their lists of role models.
Perhaps what should be understood from what young people consider important in a role
model is that each and every person around them affects them to a certain extent, perhaps much
more than most parents think. This makes it crucial for adults to be aware of their influence on
the young and set the best examples possible.
49. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “dazzled”?
A. impressed B. disappointed C. confused D. frightened
50. Which of the following is LEAST likely to be assumed as teens’ role model?
A. A handsome actor B. A talented footballer
C. A hot popstar D. A brilliant scientist
51. What is surprising about the findings of the survey?
A. Celebrities are the most common role models to most teens.
B. The role models of the respondents are not quite influential.
C. The qualities that make up teens’ role models are not simple.
D. Most celebrities have their family members as role models.
52. According to the passage, what quality makes teachers good role models?
A. their ambition to succeed B. their wide knowledge
C. their ability as academic educators D. their positive effect on students

A. teens must have it to teach their peers
B. it is not something that one can easily find
C. obstacles make life more difficult
D. it is relevant to the stage of life they are in

A. are as active as possible B. do what they say they will do
C. pay attention to the needs of the young D. are religious in their life

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.

SPACE SETTLEMENTS
The United states government is currently taking a serious look at the moon and Mars as
potential places for future human settlement for number of reasons. first, they could be a future
source of natural resources desperately needed on Earth. Second, the moon could serve as a
training ground or a kind of steppingstone for later journeys to Mars. Therefore, the moon is
already on NASAs docket for further exploration within the next couple of decades, which, at
least to some experts, is completely unnecessary mainly due to the needless risks involved. With
Mars looming as the eventual long- term goal, serious questions exist as to whether the dangers
and difficulties of a lunar settlement are too extreme and unnecessary. The moons relatively
harsh environment and the greater potential of natural resources on Mars are major reasons that
make lunar settlements too great a liability and why the moon should be bypassed.
One major reason a lunar settlement is too hazardous in the contrast between the
environment of the moon and the red planet. Numerous scientists believe the moon is too
difficult for human settlement as compared in Mars. The fact that the moon has no atmosphere
poses the greatest threat to human beings. Atmosphere is crucial because it protects humans and
all other life from continuous bombardment cosmic radiation caused by sources such as the sun .
This radiation is especially dangerous to humans because it increases the risk of cancer and can
negatively alter and mutate DNA. On the other hand, while Mars atmosphere is significantly
thinner than Earths, at least it has one and would create some sort of protective barrier for
humans.
Another important characteristic necessary for sustainable human settlement is water, of
which the moon is believed to have none . [A] If lunar settlements are to be successful , water
will be a key component and must be brought with the colonists and continually supplied by
further expeditions from Earth, which means they will have a limited capacity of it. [B]
Conversely, Mars contains vast quantities of water ice, dry ice, and also snow. [C] There is also
ample evident that water once existed at the surface of Mars and might return in the future if the
planet warms. [D] With increased technological advances in conversion capabilities, the
potential for settlers to remain on Mars indefinitely by being increasingly self-sufficient
makes Mars a much more attractive goal as a space colony than the moon.
Future colonists will not only benefit from potential water sources on Mars; the planet is
also rich in other basic elements vital to sustained life. These resources include nitrogen, oxygen,
and hydrogen. Mars also contains many minerals that contain iron, silicon, and magnesium,
which can be used in productive ways. For example, silicon can be used to make solar cells to
store energy and create electricity. Hydrogen can be extracted from water sources and used a
fuel. Moreover, it can be combined with nitrogen to form fertilizing materials necessary to a
sustainable colony. Due to these factors ,Mars would be a more successful candidate for
exploration and settlement because it contains the basic resources necessary for humans to
survive more independently of aid from Earth than they would on the moon.
Clearly, any future settlements on Mars or the moon will be monumental efforts for the
space agencies and astronauts involved. The expenses incurred will be extreme and are a further
reason why plans and implementation should focus on the project, which has the greater
potential of long-term success. While the moon may serve as a temporary training ground for
Mars, it could end up becoming a major diversion from Mars and place humans in too great a
risk with too little benefit. Because the environment of Mars is more similar to that of Earth and
it contains important resources necessary to sustain life, it should be the one and only option for
any kind of long-term human settlement. Furthermore, the moon has been eclipsed by mankind,
and it is only natural that Mars be the next step for space exploration. Finally, the habitation of
Mars would not only be a milestone in space but also an excellent opportunity for mankind to
redeem itself from past exploits on Earth and preserve and make the best use of the natural
resources Mars has to offer.
57. According to paragraph 1, which of the following is true of space settlement?
A. Their danger can not be justified due to the risk to human life and high cost.
B. They must find incorporate the moon as a practice arena for Mars exploration.
C. They should have already been instigated by NASA many years ago.
D. They could prove to be a last resort for gaining life-sustaining supplies.
58. The word looming in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.
A. waiting B. expanding C. competing D. emerging
59. The author discuss environment in paragraph 2 in order to _____.
A. propose that cosmic radiation would have little effect on the lunar colonists
B. indicate that lunar settlements are futile because the moon has no atmosphere
C. express the notion that Mars poses less life-threatening hazards than the moon
D. justify why the moon is a more practical place than mars for human settlement
60. Look at the four positions [A], [B], [C] and (D that indicate where the following sentence
could be added to the passage.
If supplies are delayed for one reason or another, the entire project and the livelihood of
the colonists could be in serious jeopardy.
Where would the sentence best fit?
A. [A] B. [B] C. [C] D. [D]

C. does not make sense if humans only wish to search for alien life forms.
