Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Life is difficult.

But life is no longer difficult once we truly understand and accept it.
Most
do
not
fully
see
this
truth.
Instead
they
complain
about
their
problems
and
difficulties
as
if
life
should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced
upon them or else upon their families, or even their nation.
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems
depending on their nature cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable
feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is
always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet, it is in this whole of solving problems that life has its meaning.
Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of
the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems just as in school we set problems for our
children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin
Franklin said,
“
Those things that hurt, instruct.
welcome the pain of problems.

1640s the college was enlarged although it was short of money. Meant to be an institution for the education
of Puritan ministers (
清教牧师
), it grew to be an institution of general education, and new and more subjects
and
policies
were
introduced.
In
the
18th
century,
particularly
under
John
Leverett,
the
number
of
the
students and campus equipment increased while the religious color decreased. In its early years, the college
was largely supported by the English colony and the New England community as a whole, but support soon
came in the form of gifts, and in 1823 the state money was received for the last time. Under Charles ,
the college became a great modern university. Its basic courses improved and enlarged, the graduate school
was set up for those who finished their four- year undergraduate study, and the law and medical school were
reorganized.

system

Passage 3
The Certificates in English Languages Skills (CELS) are a set of modular tests that allow you to test in one
or more of the four languages skills, or combine tests at different levels.
Tests are available at three levels: CELS Higher, CELS Vantage and CELS Preliminary.
So, if, for example, you are particularly good at reading but have difficulty in speaking English, you could
take a CELS Higher test in Reading, CELS Vantage tests in Listening and Writing, and, for speaking, a CELS
Preliminary test. Or you could decide not to take a speaking test at all.
Those are linked
to other Cambridge
ESOL
examination levels, such as the
First Certificate
in English.
CELS is also accredited as part of the UK National Qualifications Framework.
For more information on these, you can download a copy of the CELS Handbook from Cambridge Esol

Passage 4

The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market places despite their
manifest advantages. Furthermore, the advertising expenditure for instant coffee was far greater than that for
regular coffee. Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers
“
seemingly unreasonable resistance to
the product
”
. The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. The producers suspected that there
might be deeper reasons. However, this was confirmed by one of motivation research's classic studies, one
often cited in the trade. Mason Haire, professor of the University of California, constructed two shopping lists
that
were
identical
except
for
one
item.
There
were
six
items
common
to
both
lists:.
hamburger,
carrots,
baking
powder,
bread,
canned
peaches
and
potatoes,
with
the
bands
or
amounts
specified,
which
were
identical except for one item. The seventh item, in the fifth place on both lists, read
“
1 Ib. Maxwell House
coffee
”
on one list and
“
Nescafe instant coffee
”
on the other. One list was given to each person in a group
of fifty women, and the other list to those in another group of the same size. The women were asked to study

D. can tell you what you can do in language study
B. an advertisement
D. a careful introduction to CELS









































.
their lists and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman (
“
personality and character
”
) who
would
draw
up
that
shopping
list.
Nearly
half
of
those
who
had
received
the
list
including
instant
coffee
described a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner. On the other hand, only one woman in the other
group described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group
suggested that she was a poor planner. Eight women felt that the instant-coffee user was probably not a good
wife. No one in the other group drew such a conclusion about the housewife who intended to buy instant
coffee.
16. The fact that producers found resistance to their product despite the fact that they spent more advertising
money on instant than regular coffee shows that





.
A. advertising does not assure favorable sales results
B. companies spent more money on advertising than they should
C. people pay little attention to advertising
D. the more one advertises, the better they sales picture
