QUESTIONS 36 - 40: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow by
circling letter A, B, C or D as the correct answers and then mark your choice on the answer sheet.
Why are there so many grandmothers and so few grandfathers? In other words, why do men die younger than
women? Is it because men are afraid of getting old and helpless and so they prefer to die before that happens?
Perhaps they fear to be left alone by their women and so decide to do the leaving first.
Many explanations are given for the fact that men die earlier than women. Men are stronger physically, yet
women can hang on longer to life. Both men and women are emotional creatures but women are not afraid or
ashamed to cry while men refuse to do so. They are afraid of being thought "soft". Some men, when they are
upset, play loud music or dig in the garden to relieve their feelings. Many men like an orderly life so that they
bury themselves in their work or want a wife with some children or long to take part in wars where there is a
definite chain of command. There is a leader to give orders and a known enemy to fight against and defeat. All
these make men feel they live in a rational world.
So the majority of men like a rational world. Rationality is fine but it does not include everything that makes life
joyful and fun or even messy and frustrating. When a man refuses to cry he is refusing to accept that his
emotions are part of him. Of course some men do not follow this pattern. Bob Hawke is capable of crying in
public whereas Margaret Thatcher is probably incapable of crying at any time.
We need to cry because that shows our ability to suffer. If we do not suffer we are not really alive at all.
Suffering can be creative or destructive. If we can all learn to cry and laugh and shout and dance openly, we are
living creatively and adding something tp the human race. We often say men suffer more from stress and
therefore they die earlier. Are we not saying in another way that they do not know how to suffer in the right way
- with tears and laughter instead of silence - and so they are miserable and just give up? That is just my theory of
course. Have you a better one?

36. What does the word "that" (the underlined word) in the passage refer to?
A. The fact that men die younger than women
B. The fact that they fear to be left alone
C. The fact that men get old and helpless
D. The fact that they decide to do the leaving first
37. What is found the same for both men and women?
A. They like to cry
B. They are physically strong
C. They want to play loud music
D. They are emotional creatures
38. Which paragraph explains why men die earlier than women?
A. Paragraph 1
B. Paragraph 2
C. Paragraph 3
D. Paragraph 4
39. What's the writer's opinion toward crying?
A. It is a good thing for people to cry
B. To be silent is better than to cry
C. It is all right for women to cry but shameful for men
D. Tears are not real
signs of suffering
40. What's the main question the article is intended to discuss?
A. Why men like a rational world
B. Why women are more emotional than men

B, C or D as the correct answers and then mark your choice on the answer sheet.
Like schools in Britain and other English speaking countries, those in the U.S have also always stressed "character" or "social"
skills through extracurricular activities, including organised sports. Because most schools start at around 8 o'clock every
morning and classes often do not finish until 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, such activities mean that many students do not
return home until the early evening. There is usually a very broad range of extracurricular activities available. Most schools,
for instance, publish their own student newspapers, and some have their own radio stations. Almost all have student
orchestras, bands, and choirs.
Many different sports are also available and most schools share their facilities - swimming pools, tennis courts, tracks, and
stadiums - with the public. Often the students themselves organize and support school activities and raise money through car
washes, baby-sitting, or by mowing lawns. Parents and local business often also help a group that, for example, has a chance
to go to a state music competition, to compete in some sports championship, or take a camping trip. Such activities not only
give pupils a chance to be together outside of normal classes, they also help develop a feeling of "school spirit" among the
students and in the community.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question.
The problem of the use of our natural resources may be divided into four parts. These deal with trees,
soil, water and minerals. In a sense, the first three are closely related, for water is a great destroyer of
soil, and trees are its great protectors. Trees need both soil and water to grow. And water, to be of any
real use, needs to be kept by soil and trees. Minerals are apart. They exist where they are because of the
changing physical nature of the earth. Man has no control over the creation of the minerals, and once a
particular supply has been used up, it is gone forever.
Conservation programmes have been instituted by most governments to prevent these four essentials
from reckless waste and to start the long process of repairing earlier damage to forests, soil and water
supply.

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 41 to 50
A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker.
The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language,
communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance. A
person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or
unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech
rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the

utterance. When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence
or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words
chosen, or may belie them. Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive
sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of
which are .usually discernible by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication
that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The
motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the
performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic,
political, or pedagogic communication.
Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional
health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive,
outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a clue to the
facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front. How a
speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can
drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker. Emotional health
is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the
angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed.
Question 41. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The function of the voice in performance
C. The connection between voice and personality B. Communication styles
D. The production of speech
Question 42. What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas
and feelings over and above the words chosen" in lines 8- 9?
A. Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are.
B. The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words.
C. A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication.
D. Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas.
Question 43. The word "Here" in line 9 refers to……………
A. interpersonal interactions B. the tone
C. ideas and feelings D. words chosen

Question 44. The word "derived" in line 13 is closest in meaning to………
A. discussed B. prepared C. registered D. obtained


Question 45. Why does the author mention "artistic, political, or pedagogic communication" in line 1415?
A. As examples of public performance
B. As examples of basic styles of communication
C. To contrast them to singing
D. To introduce the idea of self-image
Question 46. According to the passage, an exuberant tone of voice may be an indication of a
person's………
A. general physical health
B. personality C. ability to communicate
D. vocal quality
Question 47. According to the passage, an overconfident front may hide…………
A. hostility B. shyness
C. friendliness D. strength
Question 48. The word "drastically" in line 21 is closest in meaning to……………
A. frequently B. exactly
C. severely D. easily
Question 49. The word "evidenced" in line 22 is closest in meaning to……………
A. questioned B. repeated C. indicated D. exaggerated
Question 50. According to the passage, what does a constricted and harsh voice indicate?
A. Lethargy B. Depression C. Boredom D. Anger

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 56 - 64
Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects—an estimated 90 percent of the world's
species have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for
examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a favorable image
with the general public. Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science
and conservation issues such as diversity.
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is
thestriking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he
mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on
the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321. This early
comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and
tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal
and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or tropical
regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of numbers of species
among the Amazon basin,tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal communication" citations,

even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these
patterns are still in the documentation phase.
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are
made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about
the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of


examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors
generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.
Question 56: The word "consequence" in line 2 is closest in meaning to…………….
A. result
B. explanation C. analysis
D. requirement
