Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word or phrase 
that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
 One of the most important (31) of a standardized test is time. You'll only be allowed a 
certain number of minutes for each section, so it is very important that you use your time (32)
 . The most important time strategy is pacing yourself. Before you begin, take just a few 
seconds to survey the test, noting the number of questions and the sections that looks easier than the rest. 
Then, make a rough time schedule based on the amount of time (33) to you. Mark 
the halfway point on your test and make a note beside that mark of the time when the testing period is half 
over.
 Once you begin the test, keep moving. If you work slowly in an attempt to make fewer 
mistakes, your mind will become bored and begin to wander. You'll end up making far more mistakes if 
you’re not concentrating. If you take too long to answer questions that stump you, you may end up (34) 
 out of time before you finish. So don’t stop for difficult questions. 
Skip them and move on. You can come back to them later if you have time. A question that takes you 
five seconds to answer counts as much as one that takes you several-minutes, so pick up the easy points 
first. (35) , answering the easier questions first helps build your confidence and 
gets you in the testing groove.
 Question 31. A. factors B. issue C. concern D. information
 Question 32. A. quickly B. fast C. wisely D. hardly
 Question 33. A. close B. similar C. available D. suitable
 Question 34. A. short B. running C. moving D. cutting
 Question 35. A. Therefore B. However C. So D. Besides
 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 from 36 to 42.
 Diseases are a natural part of life on Earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow too 
 quickly and there would not be enough food or other resources. So in a way, diseases are nature's way of 
 keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people. For 
 example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six 
 months. Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics.
 Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In 1918, a 
 new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly 
 and killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, 
 all of them have a few things in common.
 First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, while they may kill 
 many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of this would be the Marburg virus. 
 The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly. About 70-80% of all the people 
 who get the Marburg virus die from the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because 
 most people die within three days of getting the disease. This means that the virus does not have enough time to 
 spread to a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten 
 days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread.
 While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common. Doctors 
 carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in 2002 and 2003, doctors 
 carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic.
 Question 36. This passage is mainly about .
 A. how to prevent pandemic diseases.C. pandemic diseases.
 B. pandemic diseases throughout history.D. why pandemics happen.
