Part III: Read the following passage carefully, and then choose ONE best option (A,B,C or
D) to complete each sentence. ( 0.5 m)
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communicatio
Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of
oral speech. When there is
a
language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign
language in which motions stand for letters, words,
and
ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the
mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of th e

se symbols of
the
whole
words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however,
cannot.

Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or
unintentionally. A
wink

can
be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A
3
nod signifies approval, while shaking the
head
indicates a negative
reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised
dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and
picture signs also guide, warm, and instruct
people.
While verbalization is most common form of language, other systems and
techniques also express human thoughts and
feelings.
1. Which of the following best summarizes this
passage?
A. When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of
communication
B. Everybody uses only one form of
communication
C. Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to
foreigners
D. Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the
fastest
2. The word “these” in the first paragraph refers to …………………………
A. tourist s B. the deaf and the mute

C. thoughts and feelings D. sign language
motions
3. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ………………………
A. There are many forms of communication in existence today
B. Verbalization is the most common form of communication
C.
The

deaf
and mute can use an oral form of communication
D. Ideas
and
thoughts can be transmitted by body
language
4. Which form other than oral speech would be the most commonly used among blind
people ?
A.
Picture
signs B. Braille C. Body language D. Signal
flags

EXCEPT
for …………………………………
A. spelling B. ideas C. whole words D.
expressions
Part IV: Read the following passage carefully, and then decide whether the following
statements are True (T), False (F) or No Given (N) . (0,5 m)
A combination of sewage, salt, air pollution, sun, sand and wind may destroy the huge
statue on the outskirts of Cairo. This statue of the sun god has the body of a lion and the face of
a human being. It is five thousand years old, but it is too badly damaged to be completely saved.

The statue has already been dug out of the sad three times. However, the latest problems
are much more serious. First, there are no proper drains and water pipes in the neighborhood
and the underground passages round the statue have become blocked. Too much water has been
running into the stone statue for several years. As a result, tiny pieces of salt have been left on
the stone and have damaged it.
Secondly, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is also destroying the
ancient statue. The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is making the stone crumble and
decay even faster.
Thirdly, the statue is being damaged by extremes of temperature. For example, although
the air is very cold at night, during the day the stone of the statue becomes very hot under the
strong sun. Other natural forces such as serve sandstorms also attack the statue.
Finally, the tourists who visit the statue everyday also cause a lot of damage.
1.The statue is in the center of Cairo.
2.Part of the statue looks like a lion and part like a person.
3.The underground passages round the statue are full of waste and water.
4.High temperatures damage stone far more than low temperature.
5.Fortunately, little damage is caused by visitors to the statue.

F. Damasio is one of the world-wide brainstorm of neurologists exploring
G. And they
don’t
just experience risk, danger and pain
H. you are very smart, you have
lots
of memory
Antonio Damasio makes himself up as he goes along. Every waking moment, he
is
engaging in the study of his identity. Beyond the core self- the man who
absent-mindedly
picks up the orange juice or steps around the furniture- is an autobiographical fiction;
…………(0)…………… At least, that’s how the distinguished professor at the University
of
Iowa
College of Medicine sees
it.
The centerpiece of Damasio’s exploration is the brain. It’s part of the machinery of
life management. It keeps the heart beating and fight-or-flight machinery prepared for
danger. It tells
you
when you are hungry. But it can also stun you with questions like ‘what
was there because time
began?’

…………(1)……………. the great question
of
consciousness, the inexplicable mystery of why humans know who they are, where they
came from
and
what they would really like for supper. And the key, for
him,
is that all
human identity is a kind of fiction. We are all engaged in the process of self- creation.
Damasio was born in Portugal in 1944. From his earliest years, …………(2)
……………. by Meccano. He went from there to the mechanisms
of
the mind, dithered
about being a writer or philosopher, and then read about brain research and decided this
was exactly what he wanted to do. “I went into medical school and straight into the thing
that
interests me
most.”
Well into his career as a neurologist- he has a chair at the Salk Institute in La Jolla.
California, as well as the department in Iowa- he began to get interested in cases of frontal
lobe damage.
There

were
several cases of people who, before suffering damage of this
kind, were considered
honest,
trustworthy and dependable, but afterwards became vulgar,
irresponsible and capricious, these
cases

were classic pieces of evidence that personality
and identity were creation of the brain, and that
the

brain
was a machine into which
spanners could be thrown. Damasio, however, …………(3)……………. that patients with
this condition will take decisions. ‘What people
will
frontal lobe damage have is an
inability to decide correctly; they do it in a setting where the
emotions

are
gone. You
maintain your overt intelligence. You speak normally, …………(4)……………. but you
make the most foolish decisions in relation to yourself, your family and your
work.
The big
distinction is that you no longer have an ability to emote and feel normally, especially
in
relation
to social emotions. You don’t feel guilt, you don’t feel pride for that matter and
…………(5)…………… And that is what put me on to the idea that emotion is really the
only
explanation for this kind of problem. All my work starts from
here.’
Part VI: There are 11 mistakes in the following passage. Find and correct them. There have
been an example for you .(1m)

There are very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known,
however, that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid -19th century English as an
aquatic version of rugby. Early games used an inflated rubber ball that comes from India known
as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls"). Pronounced "polo" by the England, both the
game and the ball became known like "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming
exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor
swimming pools in 1870.
At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands. A
favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swim suit
and dive under the murky water, they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible.
The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo. It became a
game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant
to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10 x 3 feet and a goal could be score by being
thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longerly
be taken under water. The small rubber ball is replaced by a leather soccer ball. If the player
came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, which was permitted to
stand on the pool deck.
Games were often something more than gang fights in the water as players ignored
the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to
the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in the USA in 1888. The game featured
the old rugby style of play which resembled America football in the water. "American style"
water polo became very popularly and by the late 1890's was played in such venues as Madison
Square Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national
championship games.

Part IX: You are going to read an article about a sailing race. Choose the most suitable

heading from the list A - I for each paragraph from 1 – 5 of the article. There is three
extra
headings
which you do not need to use. There have been an example for you. (1m)
EX: Paragraph 0 + I
A. An unexpectedly demanding way of
life
B. The consequences of poor
performance
C. No way out if you don’t like
it
D. Letting everyone have a moment of
glory
E. Benefiting from the power of
nature
F. Cooperating to overcome the power of
nature
G. It’s not what people
think
H. A solution that seems to
work
I. The terrible consequences of making a
mistake
Paragraph 0:
Imagine for a moment, spending the night on board a large yacht, being
roughly
woken in the pitch dark and ordered on deck. Every so often you will be totally drenched, very
suddenly, in salt water. You will be sharing the same cramped space with 14 other people for a
whole
year. Your stomach, when not affected by seasickness, will be hit by the competitive

tension
and
nervousness that afflicts all sportspeople. You will be obliged to concentrate
without cease.
The
slightest loss of focus could cost someone their
life.
Paragraph 1:
For the eight crews taking part in the Round-the-world yachting race, this has
been
daily life since they left Britain eleven months ago. Now, after racing 50,000 across
kilometers
of
ocean, they are soon due home. While most of us have worked, slept, taken a
holiday, these
crews

have
sailed and sailed, day after day, night after night, in weather
conditions that would test
any
human. This is the reality of ocean yacht racing, which
bears
little resemblance to the popular image of sailing- the quick sprint around a lake
before
returning ashore for a meal and a warm
bath.
7
Paragraph 2:
Racing 20-metre yachts around the world is a story of unrelenting hard work,

pushing
yourself to the limits of endurance. But it is also a story of the vastness and beauty of
the sea, of
seeing
the sun rise and set on hundreds of desolate horizons, and of the supreme
satisfaction of
arriving
somewhere knowing that wind alone has taken you
there.
Paragraph 3:
Unlike the captains, who are professional sailors, the crews all consist of
amateur
volunteers who have actually paid for the privilege of taking a year off from their work and
enduring these difficult conditions. On board London Light the ages range from 21 to 65. For
the
youngest
member, Susan Porter, the trip is about the excitement of both the racing and the
elements ‘Being able
to
pitch yourselves as a team against a storm gives you a huge sense of
achievement’, she
says
Paragraph 4:
Jerry Wallace, a marketing director, found sailing a refreshing change from the
selfish
individualism of business. Although he was prepared for the discomfort, the mental
stress of long distance racing was not what he has anticipated, ‘A grand Prix driver has a few
hours of focus,
a
footballer 90 minutes, but we have been racing for 11 months. This is

something I didn’t
really
appreciate before I
start.’
Paragraph 5:
Inevitably, there are tensions. The kind of people who choose to take part in
races
like this tend to motivated and strong-willed. On a trivial level, there are the usual arguments
about
things
like cleaning, tidying, personal hygiene, even the way people snore. Row on a
boat must
be
addressed immediately. Left to develop, they get much worse. On London Light
they have done this
by
having a meeting where problems can be discussed and resolved by
majority vote. Cooperation is
the
key, and everyone can have their say. The London is one of
the few boats that has never lost any
crew
early because of a personality
clash.
