C H I N A U N I V E R S I T Y O F G E O S C I E N C E S PhD Entrance Examination in English 16 April 2011 LISTEN TO THIS! Good morning! You are about to take the English test for people who wish to enter one of the doctoral programs at this university. The test may be rather different from any exam you’ve taken in the past.

The results of this exam will enable us to compare your preparation in English with that of the other candidates. The “passing” grade is relative; in other words, it will depend on the scores for the whole body of test-takers. Just relax and do as well as you can. We shall now begin. Turn the page to part 1.

Decide which one of the four parts is not good English. Then write the letter found under that part in the proper space on your answer sheet. If the four underlined parts are all good English and there is no error in the sentence, then write E in the space on your answer sheet. REMEMBER! You
