Passage Five
Anyone who has ever attended a university knows that the quality of lecturers varies greatly. A few are very effective communicators, conveying the substance of their lectures clearly and interestingly and inspiring students to want to know more about the subject. Others produce dull lectures from which the students learn little and which are likely to kill any interest they may have in the subject. Lecturing is a major part of a university lecturer’s job and it would seem reasonable that effectiveness in this task should be a major standard in assessing a lecturer for promotion. However, it is very often the case that far more weight is given to such factors as participation in research, number of publications and even performance of administrative duties. My point of view is that a lecturer’s lecturing should be regularly evaluated and that the best people to carry out this evaluation are those directly on the receiving end.

Passage Three
In 1968, five people were murdered in Northern California. The killer called himself the Zodiac. He either shot or knifed his victims. No one knew when, where, or who the Zodiac would kill next.
Paul Stine is believed to have been his final victim. Stine was a cab driver in San Francisco when he was shot to death in 1969. The Zodiac sent a piece of Stine’s bloody shirt to a newspaper bragging about the killing.
The Zodiac has been compared with the recent Washington, D.C. snipers. These serial killers seemed to have no reason for the murders. Victims were chosen at random. Letters were sent to newspapers. In the letters, the killers made fun of the police who tried to catch them. Both the Zodiac and the D.C. sniper got thrills out of murdering and scaring people.
Arthur Allen was thought to be the Zodiac. The police never charged him. He denied that he had done the murders. When Allen died in 1992, tests were done on his
A. private investigator
B. San Francisco taxi driver
C. prime suspect
D. newspaper reporter

Passage Five
In England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later’ black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny, the sun will begin to shine, and it will be summer at this time of a day.
In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should take warm clothes.
When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella or a raincoat with them in the sunny morning, but you should not laugh at them.
If you don’t take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret later in the day.
