V. Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 45.
The conservatism of the early English colonists in North America, their strong attachment to
the English way of doing things, would play a major part in the furniture that was made in New
England. The very tools that the first New England furniture makers used were, after all, not much
different from those used for centuries- even millennia: basic hammers, saws, chisels, planes,
augers, compasses, and measures. These were the tools used more or less by all people
who
worked with wood: carpenters, barrel makers, and shipwrights. At most the furniture makers might
have had planes with special edges or more dedicate chisels, but there could not have been much
specialization in the early years of the colonies.
The furniture makers in those early dedicates of the 1600s were known as “joiners,” for the
primary method of constructing furniture, at least among the English of this time, was that of
mortise-and-tenon joinery. The mortise is the hole chiseled and cut into one piece of wood,
while the tenon is the tongue or
protruding
element shaped from another piece of wood so that
it fits into the mortise; and another small hole is then drilled (with the auger) through the
Mortise end and the tenon so that a whittled peg can secure the joint- thus the term “joiner”.
Panels were fitted into slots on the basic frames. This kind of construction was used for making
everything from houses to chests.
Relatively little hardware was used during this period. Some nails- forged by hand- were
used, but no screws or glue. Hinges were often made of leather, but metal hinges were also used.
The cruder varieties were made by blacksmiths in the colonies, but the finer metal elements were

imported. Locks and escutcheon plates- the latter to
shield
the wood from the metal key- would
often be imported.
Above all, what the early English colonists imported was the knowledge of, familiarity with,
and dedication to the traditional types and designs of furniture
they
knew in England.

VI. Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 55.
ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS
Paul Watson is an environmental activist. He is a man who believes that he must do
something, not just talk about doing something. Paul believes in protecting endangered animals, and
he protects them in controversial ways. Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very
much. Other people think that he is a criminal.
On July 16
th
, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the Sea
Shepherd. Watson and the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean
near Portugal. However, they had a strange prey; instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship,
the Sierra. The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, the Sierra never
returned to the sea. The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada. Paul
Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful.
The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and the crew of
the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as many
whales as they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later, they sold the whale meat in
countries where it is eaten.
Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra.
However, the commission did very little, and Paul became impatient. He decided to stop the Sierra
and other whaling ships in any way that he could. He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any
illegal whaling ship, and he sank the Sierra. He acted because he believes that the whales must be
protected. Still, he acted without the approval of the government; therefore, his actions were
controversial.
Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist. Other men and women are also fighting to
protect the Earth. Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their governments, and like
Watson, they have become impatient. Yet, because of their concern for the environment, they will act
to protect it.
