Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer
The first system of communication of animals is natural. Many
kinds of animals have ways of communicating with each other.
And one of the most interesting examples is that of bees. These
insects communicate with each other by dancing. The most
important kind of dance that they do is concerned with food. They
get their food from flowers, of course, from plants and trees. When
a bee has found some food, it returns to the other bees and can give
them three basic kinds of information about the food: which
direction it is in, whether it is nearby or a long way away, and
whether it is good to eat or poisonous.
The other kind of system of communication of animals is

artificial. It means animals learn it; in this case, they learn from
man. Several famous experiments have been carried out with
chimpanzees, trying to teach them human language.

Page 8

/>

/>
One of these experiments was done with a chimpanzee called
Sarah. Sarah was taught to understand a system of symbols which
represented words. The symbols were cut out of coloured plastic,
and each different shape stood for a different word. For example, a
red square stood for “banana”, Sarah’s favorite fruit. Soon Sarah
could not only understand words, but even sentences. She could
obey orders: if her human friends put down the symbols for “apple
in cup”, she would put the apple in the cup. Later, she began giving
the scientists orders – she was writing her own sentences, and she
got upset if the scientists did not obey her. We do not yet know
whether chimpanzees will ever learn to use language to
communicate as freely as human beings do, but the results so far
suggest that this is at least a possibility.
41. According to the passage, bees
____________________________________.
A. learn to communicate

B. are born to be able to

communicate
C. are the most interesting animals

D. communicate

with each other by flying
42. From the passage, we can conclude that bees are
_____________________.
Page 9

/>

/>
A. so selfish as to let other bees share the bad food
B. so selfish as to look for food for themselves
C. so hardworking that they dance all the time
D. so smart that they know where the food is
43. The experiment done with Sarah is an example of
____________________.
A. animals with natural system of communication
B. animals able to communicate with humans
C. animals possible to use language as humans
D. animals with a system of communication worked out by
humans
44. The results of the experiment with chimpanzees show the
possibility to teach animals _____.
A. how to use language freely B. how to give orders
C. how to obey orders

D. how to

Read the passage below. Then choose one best answer (A),
(B), (C) or (D) to each question.
British society is considered to be divided into three main
groups of classes - the upper class, the middle class, and the lower
or working class. This is known as the class system and it is
important to know something about it, if you mean to understand
British people and society. Most British people grow up with a
deep knowledge and understanding of the class system even if

they are not very conscious of it. As a result, more people know
which class they belong to and are able to tell which class other
people come from by the way they speak, the kind of clothes they
wear, their interests and hobbies or even the type of food they eat.
Social class is not only about behaviour and attitudes. For
example, although many upper-class people are rich and may own a
lot of land, having a lot of money does not necessarily make a
person one member of the upper class. It is also important to come
from a particular kind of family, have friends who are considered
suitable, have been to a certain type of private school and speak
Page 19

/>

/>
with the right kind of accent. There are people who are poor but do
not think of themselves as working class because their family
background, education, political opinions, etc. are basically
different from those of most working-class people. Many people do
not like the class system but it is impossible to pretend that these
differences do not exist or that British people do not sometimes
form opinions in this way.

social class by ______
A. where he was born

C. the clothes he wears

D. the interests he has

A. exists only in the mind of foreigners

B. is deeply

rooted in the British people
C. is now under severe attack D. is regarded as a long
custom

A. he belongs to the middle class
B. he must be a member of the upper class
Page 20

/>

/>
C. he is not likely to be from the upper class
D. he may buy an upper-class title with the money

B. Today many British people do not like the class system.
