The Americans are keen to win the race to send human beings to Mars. In 1992, the new boss of NASA, Dan Goldin, called on the American people to be the first to send explorers to another planet in the solar system. He reminded them of the symbolic gift carried to the moon and back by the Apollo 11 mission. It bears a message intended for the crew of the first spaceship to visit Mars. Goldin thinks it is time to begin the preparation for this historic journey. His speech echoed the words of the President, who promised that in 2019, 50 years after Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon, the first astronaut would stand on Mars.
By the end of the twentieth century, various unmanned spaceships will have thoroughly investigated the surface of the planet. But, however clever a robot may be, it cannot match the type of information which can be gained -from direct human experience. The first geologist on the moon, Harrison Schmitt, was capable of interpreting the story of the landscape on the spot. Until humans walk on the red deserts of Mars, we will not be able to determine the history of this frozen world in any detail.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Forty-three percent of the world’s population can speak two languages fluently. Bilingualism presents obvious benefits, such as being able to communicate with many more people. However, does being bilingual actually make one smarter? Bilingual people have a stronger executive function which results in a heightened ability to switch between tasks, a more efficient monitoring system, and a heightened cognitive ability. Adults aren’t the only ones who experience these benefits; infants, children, and the elderly can benefit as well.
Bilingual people have a heightened ability to monitor their environment, which results in more efficient monitoring systems. People that speak more than one language often have to switch between languages. This means that they often have to suppress one language when talking in another language. This helps bilingual and polylingual people suppress irrelevant information.
Many people think that when children learn to speak two languages it damages their cognitive growth; this is simply not true. Although there is evidence that shows that sometimes one language can obstruct another language when a child is talking, there are benefits for bilingual children. This shows that although bilingual children might have trouble in their first years of speaking, the long-term benefits of bilingualism outweigh those troubles. A 2004 study showed that bilingual pre-schoolers were better able to solve mental puzzles and switch between tasks than their monolingual classmates.
Infants and the elderly can also benefit from bilingualism. A recent study revealed that the seven-month-old infants that had been exposed to more than one language were better able to switch between tasks. Bilingualism can also benefit the elderly. A study taken at the University of California in San Diego showed that the more fluent someone was in a second language, the more resistant they were to onset dementia and Alzheimer’s. This is likely because they have a stronger executive function, therefore they are better able to remember things.
Bilingual people have a unique way of viewing the world and their surroundings. Some languages can give insight into a specific culture. Also, bilingualism can give someone more creativity, which can result in someone “viewing” the world in a different way. A person that can speak more than one language is also better able to communicate with people that speak said language, so they are better able to understand that culture. This can make bilinguals and people who are polylingual more empathetic and better able to understand other people.
28. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Bilingual people view the world differently B. Being able to speak two languages prevents dementia
C. How bilingualism benefits children D. Benefits of being a bilingual person
29. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about bilingualism according to the passage?

D. Those who speak two or more languages understand other people better.
30. Which of the following words can best replace the word ‘outweigh’ in line number 4 of the third paragraph?
A. pass B. fail C. win D. beat
31. What might NOT be the result of having a strong executive function?

C. a better hand-eye coordination D. a heightened cognitive ability
32. What does the word this in line number 3 of the second paragraph refer to?
A. Bilingual people having to switch between languages
B. Heightened ability to monitor the environment
C. Bilingual people trying not to speak the other language when using one language
