IX. Read the following passages and choose the best answers to the questions.(5ms)
Having reached the highest point of our route according to plan, we discovered
something the map had not told us. It was impossible to climb down into the King valley.

The river lay deep between mountain sides that were almost vertical. We couldn’t find
any animal tracks, which usually show the best way across country, and the slopes were
covered so thickly with bushes that we could not see the nature of the ground. We had
somehow to break through to the river which would give us our direction out of the
mountants into the inhabited lowlands.
Our guide cut a narrow path through the bushes with his long knife and we followed in
single file. Progress was slow. Then, when we thought we had really reached the river,
we found ourselves instead on the edge of a cliff with a straight drop of 1,000 feet to the
water below. We climbed back up the slope and began to look for another way down. We
climbed, slipped, sweated, and scratched our hands to pieces and finally arrived at the
river. Happily we strode downhill along its bank without having to cut our way.
However, after a few miles the river entered a steep-sided gap between rocks and
suddenty dropped thirty-five feet over a waterfall. There was no path alongside it and no
way round it.
Then one of the guides saw the way of overcoming the difficulty. There was a fallen tree
lying upside down over the waterfall with its leafy top resting on the opposite bank below
the falls. Without hesitation he climbed down the slippery trunk to show us how easy it
was. Having got to fork of the tree, he moved hand over hand along a branch for four or
five feet with his legs hanging in space, then he dropped onto the flat bank the other side,
throwing his arms in the air like a footballer who has scored a goal and cheerfully waving
us on.


96. Having reached the highest point on their route, the travelers expected to be able
to
A. track animals to the river.
B. put away the maps they have been
using.
C. approach the river from a different direction
D. get down to the river without much

difficulty.
97. The travelers wanted to get to the river because
A. it would lead them to the waterfall
B. it would show them which way to go.
C. it was the only possible route out of the mountains.
D. it was a quicker route than going over the mountains.
98. One the reason why the travelers took so long to get to the river was that.
A. it was too hot to move quickly.
B. there was no proper path
C. they all tried to go different ways. D. they could not follow the animal track.
99. The travelers were happy when they reached the river because
A. they had a sense of achievement. B. the going was much easier then.
C. they were eager to see the waterfall.
D. they knew they were near their
destination.
100. To get path the waterfall the guide had to
A. use a fallen tree as a kind of bridge.
B. cross the river above the waterfall.
C. slide down a step river bank.
D. swing across the river from high branch.

I.Read the pasage carefully then answer the questions below it.(10 points)
All languages have rules for forming words and for ordering those words in
meaningful sentences. In written languages, meaning is expressed through a system of
characters and rules for combining those characters. In spoken languages, meaning is
expressed through a system of sounds and rules for combining those sounds. Word order

is more important in English than it is in some languages, such as Russian.
Like other languages English is always changing, but it changes very slowly. People
invent new words, borrow words from other languages, and change the meaning of words
as needed. For example, the English word byte was invented by computer specialists in
1959. The word tomato was borrowed from Nahuatl, an American Indian language
spoken in Mexico. The word meat once referred to food in general. People learn English
as well as languages by listening, copying what they hear, and using the language. Most
children learn their first language easily – and sometimes other languages as well.
1. What kinds of rules do all languages have?
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
2. How is meaning expressed in spoken languages?
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
