depending on the situation they are in. This is very (36) ________. All languages have
two general levels of (37) ________: a formal level and an informal level. English is no
(38) ________. The difference in these two levels is the situation in which you use a (39)
________ level. Formal language is the kind of language you find in textbooks, (40)
________ books and in business letters. You would also use formal English in
compositions and (41) ________ that you write in school. Informal language is used in
conversation with (42) ________, family members and friends, and when we write (43)

________________________________.

(46) ________________________________. Let’s say that I really like soccer. If I am
talking to my friend I might say “I am just crazy about soccer!” But if I were talking to

Part IV Reading Comprehension (reading in depth) (25 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select
one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank
following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making
your choices. Each choice in bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the
corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line
through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more
than once.
Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.
The flood of women into the job market boosted economic growth and changed U.S.
society in many ways. Many in-home jobs that used to be done __47__ by
women—ranging from family shopping to preparing meals to doing __48__ work—still
need to be done by someone. Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a
__49__ that has changed the target market for many products. Or a working woman may
face a crushing “poverty of time” and look for help elsewhere, creating opportunities for
producers of frozen meals, child care centers, dry cleaners, financial services, and the like.
Although there is still a big wage __50__ between men and women, the income
working women __51__ gives them new independence and buying power. For example,
women now __52__ about half of all cars. Not long ago, many cars dealers __53__
women shoppers by ignoring them or suggesting that they come back with their husbands.
Now car companies have realized that women are __54__ customers. It’s interesting that
some leading Japanese car dealers were the first to __55__ pay attention to women
customers. In Japan, fewer women have jobs or buy cars—the Japanese society is still
very much male-oriented. Perhaps it was the __56__ contrast with Japanese society that
prompted American firms to pay more attention to women buyers.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices
marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark
the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the
centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is
harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water
critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and
Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal,
noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and
tap water,” He says.
But is plain tap water all that bad?
