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 36 to 42.
Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know. Although the whale is
very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water. Whales have tails that end like flippers. With
just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The skin of a whale is so smooth that it does not create any
friction that can slow the whale down. A whale’s breathing hole is located on the top of its head, so it can breathe
without having to completely push its head out of the water. Whales are protected from the cold seawater by
body fat that is called blubber.
Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviours, they are more similar to humans than fish. They
live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters.
The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years. Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured
members; instead, they cradle them.
When whales are in danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them. One such case
occurred in 1988, when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to winter and the sea had
begun to freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice was a great danger
to them. All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for them to breathe through. Volunteers from all over soon
turned up to help these creatures. They cut holes in the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales. These
holes would also serve as guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters.

(Adapted from ?reading_comprehension)

Question 36: Which of the following best describes the main idea of this passage?
A. Successful attempts to rescue whales all over the world
B. Some remarkable similarities of whales to humans
C. Whales as the largest, gentlest but vulnerable creatures

Question 37: Whales can move easily in water thanks to their ______.
A. tail and blubber
B. size and head
C. tail and skin
D. skin and head
Question 38: Where is the whale’s breathing hole located?
A. On its head
B. On its back

D. Because the water was too cold for them as they were warm-blooded.

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 43 to 50.
It's called 42 - the name taken from the answer to the meaning of life, from the science fiction series

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. 42 was founded by French technology billionaire Xavier Niel, whose

backing means there are no tuition fees and accommodation is free. Mr Niel and his co-founders come from the
world of technology and start-ups, and they are trying to do to education what Facebook did to communication
and Airbnb to accommodation.
Students at 42 are given a choice of projects that they might be set in a job as a software engineer perhaps to design a website or a computer game. They complete a project using resources freely available
on the Internet and by seeking help from their fellow students, who work alongside them in a large open-plan
room full of computers. Another student will then be randomly assigned to mark their work.
The founders claim this method of learning makes up for shortcomings in the traditional education system,
which they say encourages students to be passive recipients of knowledge. "Peer-to-peer learning develops
students with the confidence to search for solutions by themselves, often in quite creative and ingenious ways."
Like in computer games, the students are asked to design and they go up a level by completing a
project. They graduate when they reach level 21, which usually takes three to five years. And at the end, there

is a certificate but no formal degree. Recent graduates are now working at companies including IBM, Amazon,
and Tesla, as well as starting their own firms.
"The feedback we have had from employers is that our graduates are more apt to go off and find out
information for themselves, rather than asking their supervisors what to do next," says Brittany Bir, chief
operating officer of 42 in California and a graduate of its sister school in Paris. Ms Bir says 42's graduates will be
better able to work with others and discuss and defend their ideas - an important skill in the “real world” of work.
"This is particularly important in computer programming, where individuals are notorious for lacking certain
human skills," she says.
But could 42's model of teacherless learning work in mainstream universities? Brittany Bir admits 42's
methods do not suit all students. "It suits individuals who are very disciplined and self-motivated, and who are not
scared by having the freedom to work at their own pace," she says.

______.
A. a job that a French software engineer always does
