 Many intentions have been created throughout history. Many of them have changed our 
lives. In my opinion, the most important is the internet.
 I think the internet is important because it has changed our lives in many ways. For 
example, the way we communicate has changed significantly. We can communicate with each 
other instantly using the internet. Many people even spend more time connecting with family, 
friends and (18) _________ . You will probably see most people are communicating with their 
phones and laptops instead of talking to the person next to them (19) _________.
 The internet has also (20) _________ together in a way that was impossible before, such 
as working from home and working with people from other countries. (21) _________.
 By connecting their computer to the internet, people can access the same resources wherever 
they are in the world. Today, people from all over the global can work together closely without 
ever meeting face-to-face, sharing views more easily and (22) _________.
 Although the internet is quite a new invention, it now plays an important role in (23) 
_________. Without it, things would be very different.
Question 18:
 A. from relatives on the internet than in real life B. relatives on the internet than in 
real life print books. Books became much more common after the invention of the printing press. The 
books helped other inventors make new things.
 The invention of the steam engine around 1700 led to the Industrial Revolution. Inventors 
made many new machines that were powered by steam engines. They invented locomotives, 
steamboats, and all kinds of factory machines.
 Another great invention, the internal combustion engine, led to the invention of 
automobiles in the late 1800s. Inventors made better and better internal combustion 
engines. These are the engines we use today in cars, trucks, buses, and airplanes.
 The discovery of electricity led to many wonderful inventions. Many scientists studied 
electricity. An American inventor named Thomas A. Edison invented the electric lamp, 
phonograph, and other things that ran on electricity in the late 1800s.
 New things are invented today faster than ever before. Inventors are making new kitchen 
appliances, toys, computers, video games, telephones, and all kinds of other things.
Question 29: The passage mainly ____.
 A. lists the inventions made since ancient times B. describes how inventors work to 
invent things
 C. explains why inventions have been made so far
 D. talks about some of the most significant inventions
Question 30: The phrase "ran on" is closest in meaning to _______.
 A. used B. created C. consumed D. stored
Question 31: What does inventor make an invention for?
 A. To solve a problem B. To solve a problem and discovers something new by 
accident

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 34 to 40.
 Each advance in microscopic technique has provided scientists with new perspective, on 
the function of living organisms and the nature of matter itself. The invention of the visible-light 
microscope late in the sixteenth century introduced a previously unknown realm of single-celled 
plants and animals. In the twentieth century, electron microscopes have provided direct views of 
viruses and minuscule surface structures. Now another type of microscope, one that utilizes X 
rays rather than light or electrons, offers a different way of examining tiny details; it should extend 
human perception still farther into the natural world.
 The dream of building an X-ray microscope dates to 1895; its development, however, was 
virtually hafted in the 1940's because the development of the electron microscope was progressing 
rapidly. During the 1940's electron microscopes routinely achieved resolution better than that 
possible with a visible-light microscope, while the performance of X-ray microscopes resisted 
improvement. In recent years, however, interest in X-ray microscopes has revived, largely because 
of advances such as the development of new sources of X-ray illumination. As a result, the 
brightness available today is millions of times that of X-ray tubes, which, for most of the century, 
were the only available sources of soft X-rays.
 The new X-ray microscopes considerably improve on the resolution provided by optical 
microscopes. They can also be used to map the distribution of certain chemical elements. Some 
can form pictures in extremely short times; others hold the promise of special capabilities such as 
three-dimensional imaging. Unlike conventional electron microscopy, X-ray 
microscopy enables specimens to be kept in air and in water, which means that biological samples
