III. Read the following passage and choose A,B,C or D to answer the following questions
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communication. 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 these 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 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.

66. 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

VI. READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BEST
ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS:
A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the astounding discovery
that a sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects
people in the way that a sudden increase in crime does. Appleyard observed
this by finding three blocks of houses in San Francisco that looked much

alike and had the same kind of middle-class and working-class residents,
with approximately the same ethnic mix. The difference was that only 2,000
cars a day ran down Octavia Street (LIGHT street, in Appleyard’s
terminology) while Gough Street (MEDIUM street) was used by 8,000 cars
daily, and Franklin Street (HEAVY street) had around 16,000 cars a day.
Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia had in a day.
Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes and soot, directly, and
trash secondarily. That is, the cars didn’t bring in much trash, but when
trash accumulated, residents seldom picked it up. The cars, Appleyard
determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for.
Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes. Many Franklin Street
residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in
the rear of their houses. Most families with children had already left.
Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up
trash. They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had
three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people
on Franklin.
On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was
disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more
preoccupied with their own lives. A number of families had recently moved
and more were considering. Those who were staying expressed deep regret
at the destruction of their community.
