Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected. The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health. On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. 106. The most suitable title for the passage could be___. A. Technological Innovations and Their Price B. The Importance of Mobile Phones C. Mobile Phones: A Must of Our Time D. Advantages and Disadvantages of Mobile Phones 107. According to the passage, cellphones are especially popular with the youth because___. A. they keep the users in alert all the time B. they are integral in daily communication C. they are the only effective means of communication D. they make them look more stylish 108. According to the passage, the changes possibly caused by the cellphones are mainly concerned with___. A. the smallest units of the brain B. the central unit of the brain C. the structure of the brain D. the long-term memory 109. The words negative publicity in paragraph 2 most likely means___. A. information on the lethal effects of cellphones B. the negative public use of cellphones C. widespread opinion about bad effects of cellphones D. constructive ideas about the effects of cellphones 110. The word their in the last paragraph refers to___. A. mobile phone companies B. mobile phones C. high-tech machines D. radiations Exercise 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. REALITY TELEVISION Reality, television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or humourous situations, documents actual events and features ordinary people rather than professional actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or "heightened" documentary. Although the genre has existed in some form or another since the early year of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000.

6. NEW CURRICULUM TEXTBOOK-BASED PRACTICE TEST UNIT 4: THE MASS MEDIA Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from games to quiz shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a modern example is Gaki no Tsukai), to surveillance - or voyeurism - focused production such as Big Brother. Critics say that the term "reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic locations or abnormal situations, sometimes coach to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques. Part of reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations. For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously, travelling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales. Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also reach some degree of celebrity. Some commentators have said that the name "reality television" is an inaccurate description of several styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other special-living-environment shows like the Real World, the producers design the format of the show and control the day-to-day activities and the environment, creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word "reality” to describe his shows; he has said, "I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama." 111. In the first line, the writer says “it is claimed” because___. A. he wants to distance himself from the statement B. he totally disagrees with the statement C. everybody except the writer agrees with the statement D. he wants to emphasize that it is his own claim 112. The word demeaning in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to___. A. valueless B. humiliating C. despising D. diminishing 113. According to the passage, Reality TV appeals to some because___. A. it uses exotic locations C. it can turn ordinary people into celebrities B. it shows eligible men dating women D. it shows average people in exceptional circumstances 114. According to the passage, the program “Pop Idol”___. A. is more likely to turn its participants into celebrities than Big Brother B. turns all participants into celebrities C. is a dating show D. is less likely to turn participants into celebrities than Big Brother 115. Producers choose the participants___. A. to make an imaginary world B. on the ground of talent C. to create conflict among other things D. only for special-living-environment shows 116. The term “reality television” is inaccurate___. A. for talent and performance programs B. for special-living-environment program C. for all programs D. for Big Brother and Survivor 117. The word fabricated in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to___. A. real B. imaginative C . imaginary D. isolated 118. Which of the following in NOT true according to the passage? A. Shows like Survivor have good narratives. B. Mark Burnett thinks the term "reality television” is inaccurate. C. Reality television has been popular since well before 2000. D. Japan has produced demeaning TV shows copied elsewhere. Exercise 11.
