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.

New surveys suggest that the technological tools we use to make our lives easier are killing our leisure time.

We are working longer hours, taking fewer and shorter vacations (and when we do go away, we take our cell

phones, PDAs, and laptops along). And, we are more stressed than ever as increased use of e-mail, voice mail,

cell phones, and the Internet is destroying any idea of privacy and leisure.

Since the Industrial Revolution, people have assumed that new labor-saving devices would free them from

the burdens of the workplace and give them more time to grow intellectually, creatively, and socially –

exploring the arts, keeping up with current events, spending more time with friends and family, and even just

‘goofing off’.

But here we are at the start of the 21^stcentury, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom times in

human history, and nothing could be further from the truth. The very tools that were supposed to liberate us

have bound us to our work and study in ways that were inconceivable just a few years ago. It would seem that

technology almost never does what we expect.

In ‘the old days’, the lines between work and leisure time were markedly clearer. People left their offices at

a predictable time, were often completely disconnected from and out of touch with their jobs as they traveled

to and from work, and were off-duty once they were home. That is no longer true. In today’s highly

competitive job market, employers demand increased productivity, expecting workers to put in longer hours

and to keep in touch almost constantly via fax, cell phones, e-mail, or other communications devices. As a

result, employees feel the need to check in on what is going on at the office, even on days off. They feel

pressured to work after hours just to catch up on everything they have to do. Workers work harder and longer,

change their work tasks more frequently, and have more and more reasons to worry about job security.

Bosses, colleagues, family members, lovers, and friends expect instant responses to voice mail and e-mail

messages. Even college students have become bound to their desks by an environment in which faculty,

friends, and other members of the college community increasingly do their work online. Studies of time spent

on instant messaging services would probably show staggering use.

This is not what technology was supposed to be doing for us. New technologies, from genetic research to

the Internet, offer all sorts of benefits and opportunities. But, when new tools make life more difficult and

stressful rather than easier and more meaningful – and we are, as a society, barely conscious of it – then

something has gone seriously awry, both with our expectations for technology and our understanding of how

it should benefit us.

From “Summit 1” by Joan Saslow & Allen Ascher

Question 36: According to the first three paragraphs, technological tools that were designed to make our lives

easier______.

A. have brought us complete happiness

C. have not interfered with our privacy

B. have fully met our expectations

D. have turned out to do us more harm than good

Question 37: Which of the following is NOT true about technological tools, according to new surveys?

A. They make our life more stressful.

C. They are used even during vacations.

B. They bring more leisure to our life.

D. They are being increasingly used.

Question 38: The word “inconceivable” in the passage is closest in meaning to”______”.

A. unforgettable B. unimaginable C. predictable D. foreseeable

A. it is compulsory that employees go to the office, even on days off

B. employees have more freedom to decide what time they start and finish work

C. employers are more demanding and have efficient means to monitor employees

D. life is more relaxing with cell phones and other technological devices

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.

Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety. Instead, critics of

globalization believe aspects of the way globalization operates should be changed. The debate over

globalization is about what the best rules are for governing the global economy so that its advantages can

grow while its problems can be solved.

On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international trade and

investment, allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater freedom of choice.

With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich countries to the

developing countries. Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced taxes make goods

produced at low cost from faraway places cheaper to buy. Producers of goods gain by selling to a wider

market. More competition keeps sellers on their toes and allows ideas and new technology to spread and

benefit others.

On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty,

inequality, social conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage. They say that the most developed

nations – the United States, Germany, and Japan – succeeded not because of free trade but because of

protectionism and subsidies. They argue that the more recently successful economies of South Korea, Taiwan,

and China all had strong state-led development strategies that did not follow neo-liberalism. These critics

think that government encouragement of “infant industries” – that is, industries that are just beginning to

develop – enables a country to become internationally competitive.

Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of money

from speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles. These bubbles are characterized by the rapid

inflow of foreign funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property values. When the economy cannot

sustain such expectation, the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out of the country.

Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization itself

but rather against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment. The question raised by

nongovernmental organizations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization will result

in a rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of lowering living standards

and undermining environmental regulations.

One of the key problems of the 21^stcentury will be determining to what extent markets should be

regulated to promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution of public goods on a global scale.

From “Globalization” by Tabb, William K., Microsoft ® Student 2009 [DVD]

A. the protests of globalization are directed against globalization itself

B. the United States, Germany, and Japan succeeded in helping infant industries

C. suppoters of globalization stress the benefits of removing trade barriers

D. critics of globalization say that the successful economies are all in Asia

Question 44: Supporters of free-market globalization point out that ______.

A. consumers can benefit from cheaper products

C. taxes that are paid on goods will be increased

B.there will be less competition among producers

D. investment will be allocated only to rich countries

Question 45: The word “allocated” in the passage mostly means “_____”.

A. removed B. solved C. offered

Question 46: The phrase “keeps sellers on their toes” in the passage mostly means “_____”.

D. distributed

A. makes sellers responsive to any changes

C. forces sellers to go bare-footed

B. allows sellers to stand on their own feet

D. prevents sellers from selling new products

Question 47: According to critics of globalization, several developed countries have become rich because of

____.

A. their neo-liberal policies

C. their prevention of bubbles

B. their help to developing countries

D. their protectionism and subsidies

Question 48: Infant industries mentioned in the passage are _____.

B. The anti-globalization movement was set up to end globalization.

C. Some Asian countries had strong state-led economic strategies.

B. to govern the global economy for the benefit of the community

D. to terminate globalization in its entirely
