I. 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.
Vincent Van Gogh was born in Groot Zundert, in The Netherlands on March 30 th 1853, to parents
Theodorus Van Gogh, a preacher, and Ana Cornelia Carbentus. In 1869 at the age of 16, Van Gogh began a
career, not as a painter, but as an art dealer with the firm Goupil & Cie. He spent 7 years at Goupil & Cie where
daily contacts with works of art kindled his appreciation of paintings and drawings. Gradually Vincent lost
interest in his work and decided to try his hand teaching at a Catholic School for boys. His growing interest
religion and his desire to help the poor eventually drove him to become a clergyman. In 1878, he became a lay
preacher in one of the most impoverished regions in Western Europe: the coal-mining district of the Borinage
in Belgium. Vincent sympathized with the poverty-stricken miners and gave away most of his food and
clothing to ease their burdened lives. His extreme commitment to the miners drew disfavor from the church,
which dismissed him of his post. Vincent, however, decided to remain with the miners and began to paint them
and their families, chronicling their harsh conditions.
Soon after, thanks to his brother’s financial help, Vincent decided to go to Brussels in 1880 to begin studies
in art. During the next 10 years, Vincent painted around 872 painting. In 1882, Vincent began living with
Clasina Maria Hoornik, also known as Sien, and her children, in The Hague. Their volatile personalities and the
strain of living in complete poverty created stormy relationship. Vincent was devoted to Sien and her children,
but art always came first. As his drawing and painting skills advanced, his relationship with Sien deteriorated
and they parted ways in September 1883
In 1886,Vincent moved in with his brother-Theo in Paris where he met Paul Gauguin and various other
artists, who had a tremendous impact on his ongoing evolution as an artist. Never truly happy in large cities,
Vincent decided to move to Aries Province in the south of France, where he rented a studio and invited Paul
Gauguin to live with him. In December 1888, Vincent experienced a psychotic episode in which he cut off a
piece of his left ear. After his episode, he was in and out of asylums for the next year. It was thought that Van
Gogh was actually epileptic and that is why people thought he had fits of insanity throughout his life. He


painted one of his best-known painting, Starry Night, during one of his stays in the asylum. In mid-1890,
Vincent left the asylum and spent the last few months of his life in Auvers, France. On July 27 th 1890, Vincent
Van Gogh shot himself in the chest. Two days later he died with his younger brother-Theo by his side. He left
behind a wonderful array of paintings that make him one of the most influential painters of our time.

II. 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
Level of Vocabulary
Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers. In English, at least
three have been identified and described.
Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of the
speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these words and expression
are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and
idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speed or writing, but not
considered acceptable for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language.
Slang, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as

appropriate formal usage by the majority. Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard
dictionaries but will be so identified. Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than writing.
Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other
slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases, the majority never
accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories. Every generation
seems to require its own set of words to describe familiar objects and events.
It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the creation of
a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and situations in the
society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third, association among the subgroups
and the majority population.
Finally, it is worth noting that the terms “standard”, “colloquial”, and “slang” exist only as abstract labels for
scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware that they are
using colloquial or slang expressions. Most speakers of English will, during appropriate situations, select and
use three types of expressions.

A. old

B. large

C. important

D. correct

12: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. Standard speech
