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 following questions from 50 to 59.
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of
communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known
culture. The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts
attention, as. For example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the
potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain
meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently.
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship
with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers
with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain
cultural messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage.
They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As
a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based
upon speech. Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few.
Question 50: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Gestures B. Signs and signals C. Speech D. Communication
Question 51: What does the author say about speech?
A. It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors.
B. It is the most advanced form of communication.
C. It is necessary for communication to occur.
D. It is the only true form of communication.
Question 52: According to the passage, what is a signal?
A. A form of communication that interrupts the environment.
B. The most difficult form of communication to describe
C. A form of communication which may be used across long distances.

D. The form of communication most related to cultural perception.
Question 53: The phrase “ impinge upon” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____________.
A. prohibit B. intrude C. vary D. improve
Question 54: The word “it” in paragraph refers to _______________.
A. way B. environment C. function D. signal
Question 55: The word “ potential” in paragraph 1 could be replaced by ______________.
A. advanced B. possibility C. organization D. signal
Question 56: The word “intricate” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by ________
A. inefficient B. complicated C. historical D. uncertain
Question 57: Applauding was cited as an example of ______________.
A. a signal B. a sign C. a gesture D. a symbol
Question 58: Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented?
A. Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols.
B. Because people wanted to communicate across long distances.
C. Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete.
D. Because people wanted new forms of communication.
Question 59: It may be concluded from this passage that___________.
A. only some cultures have signs, signals, and symbols
B. signs, signals, symbols, and gestures are forms of communication
C. symbols are very easy to define and interrupt
D. waving and handshaking are not related to culture

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 following questions from 60 to 64.
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth’s history called the Mesozoic Era,
which is known as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For
many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million
years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge.
The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words meaning “terrible lizard”. Dinosaurs were not

lizards, but their appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as
much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modern—day whales. The famous kinds
of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all
dinosaurs were giants, however, some were actually no larger than a chicken.
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaur to disappear. One theory involves a change in the
earth’s climate. It is believed that temperature dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous
Period. Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate
became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and
birds, were able to survive.
Question 60: What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Domination of the Land B. The Metabolism of Dinosaurs
C. Earth’s Largest Reptiles D. The History of Earth
Question 61: It can be inferred from the passage that the Age of Reptiles lasted about
A. 200 million years B. 135 million years C. 80 million years D. 65 million years
Question 62 : The author uses the phrase “never to reemerge” to indicate that the dinosaurs
A. became extinct B. went into hiding C. never died out D. lost their way
Question 63: According to the passage, what is true about the size of dinosaurs?
A. It made them the largest creatures ever on earth. B. It varied quite greatly.
C. It guaranteed their survival. D. It was rather uniform.
Question 64: Which of the following can be inferred about mammals and birds.
A. Most have either fur or feathers over their bodies. B. They preceded the dinosaurs.
C. They were too large to hibernate. D. They could not survive the chilly temperatures.

PART IV: 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 36 to 45.
Animals have an intuitive awareness of quantities. They know without analysis the difference between a
number of objects and a smaller number. In his book “ The Natural History of Selboure ” (1786), the
naturalist Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously removed one egg a day from a plover’s nest , and
how the mother laid another egg each day to make up for the missing one. He noted that other species of
birds ignore the absence of a single egg but abandon their nests if more than one egg has been removed. It
has also been noted by naturalists that a certain type of wasp always provides five – never four, never six
- caterpillars for each of their eggs so that their young have something to eat when the eggs hatch.
Research has also shown that both mice and pigeons can be taught to distinguish between odd and even
numbers of food pieces.
These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than humans can actually
count. They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to numerical questions with the correct
number of barks, or to horses that seem to solve arithmetic problems by stomping their hooves the proper
number of times.
Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survival as a species – as in the case of the
eggs – or survival as individuals - as in the case of food. There is no transfer to other situations or from
concrete reality to the abstract notion of numbers. Animals can “count” only when the objects are present
and only when the numbers involved are small – not more than seven or eight. In lab experiments,

animals
trained to “count” one kind of object were unable to count any other type. The objects, not the numbers,
are what interest them. Animals admittedly remarkable achievements simply do not amount to evidence
of
counting, nor do they reveal more than innate instincts, refined by the genes of successive generations, or
the results of clever, careful conditioning by trainers.
Question 36: The word “they” refer to______.
A. numbers B. animals C. achievements D. genes
Question 37: The word “odd” refers to which of the following?
A. Numbers such as 1, 3, 5 and so on. B. Unusual numbers.
C. Lucky numbers. D. Numbers such as 2, 4, 6 and so on.
Question 38: The word “accounts” is closest in meaning to ______.

7
A. reasons B. deceptions C. invoices D. reports
Question 39: According to information in the passage, which of the following is LEAST likely to occur as
a result of animals’ intuitive awareness of quantities?
A. When asked by its trainer how old it is, a monkey holds up five fingers.
B. A lion follows one antelope instead of the herd of antelopes because it is easier to hunt a single prey.
C. When one of its four kittens crawls away, a mother cat misses it and searches for the kitten.
D. A pigeon is more attracted by a box containing two pieces of food than by a box containing one
piece.
Question 40: The word “surreptitiously” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. stubbornly B. secretly C. quickly D. occasionally
Question 41: What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Of all animals, dogs and horses can count best.
B. Careful training is required to teach animals to perform tricks involving numbers

B. To provide evidence that some birds are aware of quantities.
C. To show how attitudes have changed since1786.

The Roman alphabet took thousands of years to develop, from the picture writing of the ancient Egyptians
through modifications by Phoenicians, Greek, Romans, and others. Yet in just a dozen years, one man,
Sequoyah, invented an alphabet for the Cherokee people. Born in eastern Tennessee, Sequoyah was a
hunter and a silversmith in his youth, as well as an able interpreter who knew Spanish, French and
English.
Sequoyah wanted his people to have the secret of the “talking leaves” as he called his books of white
people, and so he set out to design a written form of Cherokee. His chief aim was to record his people’s
ancient tribal customs. He began by designing pictographs for every word in the Cherokee vocabulary.
Reputedly his wife, angry with him for his neglect of garden and house, burned his notes, and he had to
start over. This time, having concluded that picture-writing was cumbersome, he made symbols for the
sounds of Cherokee language. Eventually he refined his system to eighty-five characters, which he
borrowed from the Roman, Greek, and Hebrew alphabets. He presented this system to the Cherokee
General Council in 1821, and it was wholeheartedly approved. The response was phenomenal. Cherokees
who had struggled for months to learn English lettering school picked up the new system in days. Several
books were printed in Cherokee, and in 1828, a newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix, was first published in
the new alphabet. Sequoyah was acclaimed by his people.
In his later life, Sequoyah dedicated himself to the general advancement of his people. He went to
Washington, D.C., as a representative of the Western tribes. He helped settled bitter differences among

Cherokee after their forced movement by the federal government to the Oklahoma territory in the 1930s.
He died in Mexico in 1843 while searching for groups of lost Cherokee. A statue of Sequoyah represents
Oklahoma in the Statuary Hall in the Capitol building of Washington. D.C. However, he is probably
chiefly remembered today because Sequoias, the giant redwood trees of California, are named of him.

A. Sequoyah’s experiences in Mexico. B. the development of the Roman alphabet
C. the pictographic system of writing D. the accomplishments of Sequoyah
Question 67: According to the passage, a memorial statue of Sequoyah is located in ______.

A. twelve years B. eighty-five years C. twenty years D. thousands of years
Question 69: In the final version of the Cherokee alphabet system, each of the characters represents a
______.
A. picture B. sound C. word D. thought
Question 70: Why does author mention the giant redwood trees of California in the passage?
A. The trees inspired Sequoyah to write a book.
B. Sequoyah was born in the vicinity of the redwood forest.
C. The trees were named in Sequoyah’s honor.

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.
Ever since humans 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 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, warn,
and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also
express human thoughts and feelings.

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.
Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springsdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology at college
and zoology at Johns Hopkins University, where she received her master’s degree in 1933. In 1936, she was
hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life.
Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but
sales were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year she published The Sea Around Us, which
provided a fascinating look beneath the ocean’s surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology and
marine biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed

sources. She had voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field. However,
she always realized the limitations of her nontechnical readers.
In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved how
much harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how they poison the
food supply of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At the time, spokesmen for the
chemical industry mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her
findings were flawed. However, her work was proved by a 1963 report of the President’s Science Advisory
Committee.

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 45 to 54.
Human Nutrition is the study of how food affects the health and survival of the human body.
Human beings require food to grow, reproduce, and maintain good health. Without food, our
bodies could not stay warm, build or repair tissue, or maintain the heartbeat. Eating the right
foods can help us avoid certain diseases or recover faster when illness occurs. These and other
important functions are fueled by chemical substances in our food called nutrients. Nutrients are
classified as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water.
When we eat a meal, nutrients are released from food through digestion. Digestion begins in

the mouth by the action of chewing and the chemical activity of saliva, a watery fluid that
contains enzymes, certain proteins that help break down food. Further digestion occurs as food
travels through the stomach and the small intestine, where digestive enzymes and acids liquefy
food and muscle contractions push it along the digestive tract. Nutrients are absorbed from the
inside of the small intestine into the bloodstream and carried to the sites in the body where they
are needed. At these sites, several chemical reactions occur, which ensures the growth and
function of body tissues. The parts of foods that are not absorbed continue to move down the
intestinal tract and are eliminated from the body as feces.
Once digested, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats provide the body with the energy it needs to
maintain its many functions. Scientists measure this energy in kilocalories, the amount of energy
needed to raise one kilogram of water one degree Celsius. In nutrition discussions, scientists use
the term calorie instead of kilocalorie as the standard unit of measure in nutrition.
Nutrients are classified as essential or nonessential. Nonessential nutrients are manufactured in
the body and do not need to be obtained from food. Examples include cholesterol, a fatlike
substance present in all animal cells. Essential nutrients must be obtained from food sources,
because the body either does not produce them or produces them in amounts too small to
maintain growth and health. Essential nutrients include water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats,
vitamins, and minerals.
An individual needs varying amounts of each essential nutrient, depending upon such factors as
gender and age. Specific health conditions, such as pregnancy, breast-feeding, illness, or drug
use, make unusual demands on the body and increase its need for nutrients. Dietary guidelines,
which take many of these factors into account, provide general guidance in meeting daily
nutritional needs.
From “Human Nutrition” by Worthington-Roberts, Bonnie, Microsoft ® Student 2009.

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 55 to 64.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will
cause a disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest
mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his
parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but

are ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the
parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about
music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and
violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons.
Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large
orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.
Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful
musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful
as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when
he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always
seems quiet and unhappy.

A. push their child into trying too much B. help their child to become a genius
C. make their child become a musician D. neglect their child’s education
