Here is an example.

(narrator) : Listen to the talk about the dust-yards.
(man) :
The dust-yards were the most notorious of the nineteenth-century waste trades.
In Dangerous Trade (1902), industrial health expert Thomas Oliver stated that
under all circumstances dust-sorting is dirty and disagreeable work. The uniquely
unpleasant conditions of the yards meant that dust-women formed a class by
themselves, and so the work becomes more or less hereditary. The workers also
received marginal reward for their efforts. By 1900 the average wages of women
in contractors yards in London were only between seven and eight shillings per
week. As a result the dust-yards were increasingly controversial by the end of the
nineteenth century. At the same time, the waste continued to grow. The 1875 Pub-
lic Health Act had given local authorities a legal responsibility to remove and dis-

9
 pose of domestic waste. However, the last years of the century saw a solution to
the apparently insoluble problem of what to do with the refuse of Britains cities.
A means, in the eyes of experts, to achieve the perfect removal of waste without
resort to either the dust-yard or the tip(the incinerator).
Now listen to a sample question. Sample Answer
(narrator) : What is the topic of the talk?
A
In your test book, you read: B
(A) Dust-yards (C) Thomas Oliver
C
(B) Dangerous trade (D) Britains cities
D
The best answer to the question What is the topic of the talk?is (A) dust-yards. It is based
on a statement The dust-yards were the most notorious of the nineteenth-century waste
trades. Therefore, the correct choice is (A).
Now listen to another sample question. Sample Answer
(narrator) : According to Thomas Olivers statement, how A
is under all circumstances dust-sorting?
In your test book, you read: B
(A) It is dirty and agreeable work. C
(B) It is dirty and disagreeable work.
(C) It is clean and agreeable work. D
(D) It is clean and disagreeable work.
The best answer to the question According to Thomas Olivers statement, how is under all
cisrcumstances dust-sorting? is (B) It is dirty and disagreeable work. It is based on a state-
ment industrial health expert Thomas Oliver stated that under all circumstances dust-
sorting is dirty and disagreeable work. Therefore, the correct choice is (B).

Now begin work on the questions.

on in each household for 7 hours and 37 minutes per day during the 1998-1999 television sea-
son. Thats an hour and 18 minutes more than in 1971, when the average was just over 6 hours
and 19 minutes, but 3 minutes less than in 1997-1998. Average daily viewing per person is still
much higher than the 1970s levels, but down slightly from the year before. Women over the

(man) :
The media has become one of societys most important agents of socialization. Television, ra-
dio, newpapers, the internet, and other forms of media have a strong effect on the way we
think and act. However, there is disagreement about exactly what the effect is. For example,
access to television allows us to be better informed and gives us an increased understand-
ing of the world. TV can also be used to entertain us. However, television exposes us to nega-
tive images, too. Furthermore, some critics argue that it may make us passive, violent, or too

women also entered the workforce. Both girls and boys were encouraged to choose careers
they wanted and didnt feel that they had to choose careers that were traditional for their

Questions 21 30: This passage below is for questions number 21 up to 30. Choose the

Line 1 A heart attack happens if the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a section of
heart muscle suddenly becomes blocked. Most heart attacks occur as a result
of coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD is a condition in which a waxy substance
called plaque builds up inside of the coronary arteries. These arteries supply
Line 5 oxygen-rich blood to your heart.
When plaque builds up in the arteries, the condition is called atheroscle-
rosis. The build up of plaque occurs over many years. Eventually, an area of
plaque can rupture (break open) inside of an artery. This causes a blood clot to
form on the plaques surface. If the clot becomes large enough, it can mostly
Line 10 or completely block blood flow through a coronary artery.
If the blockage isnt treated quickly, the portion of heart muscle fed by the
artery begins to die. Healthy heart tissue is replaced with scar tissue. This heart
