Like all sound production, speech production requires a source of energy. The source of energy for speech production is the steady stream of air that comes from the lungs as we exhale. When we breath normally, the air stream is inaudible. To become audible, the air stream must vibrate rapidly. The vocal cords cause the air stream to vibrate. As we talk, the vocal cords open and close rapidly, chopping up the steady air stream into a series of puffs. These puffs are heard as a buzz. But this buzz is still not speech. To produce speech sounds, the vocal tract must change shape. During speech we continually alter the shape of the vocal tract by moving the tongue and lips. etc. These

This text is for questions number 41-43 Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we'll enter the amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you're eating. Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows i n equatorial regions, especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the tree's seeds, also known as cocoa beans. The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun ad then shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavor. Different beans from different places have different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cocoa bean from its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs from liquid. It's pure bitter chocolate. 41.

D. to retell the result of cacao seeds to the processes of chocolate making E. to persuade readers to accept the processes of chocolate making This text is for questions number 44 and 45 HOW PLANES FLY All planes need air pressure under their wings to stay Lip in the air. As they move forward, the higher air pressure underneath their wings pushes them upward and gives them lift. The smooth, streamlined shape of the plane allows air to flow easily over its surface. This helps to reduce the drag caused by the air pushing against the plane and allows it to move rapidly through the air. Planes move forward using engines. This movement is called thrust. Moving forward keeps a stream of moving air passing over the wings, which allows the plane to stay up in the air. If the engines fail, the plane will begin to descend very quickly. Air above the wing moves faster, so it , is at a lower pressure than the air under the wing. Air under the wing moves more slowly and is slightly squashed, so it is at a higher pressure than the air above the wing. 44. The purpose of the text is A. to explain how planes fly B. to inform a good plane to the readers C. to persuade readers to fly planes D. to describe something to the readers or listeners E. to retell events for the purpose of informing or entertaining 45.

On the one hand, the ability to create life in the laboratory could greatly benefit mankind. For example, because it is very expensive to obtain insulin from natural sources, scientists have developed a method to manufacture it inexpensively in the laboratory. Another beneficial application of gene splicing is in agriculture. Scientists foresee the day when new plants will be developed using nitrogen front the air instead of from fertilizer. Therefore food production could be increased. In addition, entirely new plants could be developed to feed the world's hungry people. Not everyone is excited about gene splicing. however.

We engage in conversation, we listen to action, preachers and teachers, when we turn on the radio or television. Hour after hour someone is trying to communicate with us through English. But a great deal of our talk is what linguists now call "phatic communion". That is to say, the use of language when the actual meaning of the words is unimportant. "How do you do?" we say to someone and we should be confused if the person addressed began to tell us about his health. "A wet morning, this morning." we say as we buy our newspaper from the unfortunate street vendor dripping in the rain, who is well aware of the fact. "See you," says the American to whom we are introduced in passing, and who knows he will never see us again. So many of our utterances are intended to convey not information but signals of human sympathy and good fellowship. Indeed, it is too easy to conduct long conversations without saying anything at all!
