Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
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 façade 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 26: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The function of the voice in performance B. Communication styles
C. The production of speech
D. The connection between voice and personality

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word or
phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.

No one can say when sports began. Since it is impossible to (33)________ a time when children
did not spontaneously run races or wrestle, it is clear that children have always included sports in
their play, but one can only speculate about the emergence of sports as autotelic physical contests
for (34)________ Hunters are depicted in prehistoric art, but it cannot be known (35)________ the
hunters pursued their prey in a mood of grim necessity or with the joyful abandon of sportsmen. It is
certain, (36)________, from the rich literary and iconographic evidence of all ancient civilizations that
hunting soon became an end in itself at least for royalty and nobility. Archaeological evidence also
indicates that ball games were common among ancient peoples as different as the Chinese and the
Aztecs. If ball games were contests rather than (37)________ ritual performances, such as the Japanese
football game kemari, then they were sports in the most rigorously defined sense. That it cannot
simply be assumed that they were contests is clear from the evidence presented by Greek and Roman
antiquity, which indicates that ball games had been for the most part playful pastimes like those
recommended for health by the Greek physician Galen in the 2 nd century AD.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Walt Disney was born in 1901 in Chicago, but soon moved to a small farm near Marceline,
Missouri. From this rural and rather humble beginning, he later became one of the most famous and
beloved motion picture producers in history. Although he died in 1966, his name and artistic legacy
continue to influence the lives of millions of people throughout the world.
After several years of barely making ends meet as a cartoon artist operating from his Los
Angeles garage, Disney had his first success in 1928 with his release of a Mickey Mouse cartoon.
Through the next decade, he continued to produce a number of cartoons, and developed more
of his highly profitable and enduring creations such as Donald Duck and Pluto. In the later 1930s, he
issued the first full-length cartoon film. Snow White became an instant commercial and critical
success. This was only the first of many films, both animated and not, produced by Disney and his
studio. But as renowned as the Disney name is for cartoons and movie, it is probably best known for
a string of spectacular amusement and theme parks. Starting with California’s Disneyland in 1955,

openings in Tokyo and Paris. With the continuing success of Disney, the creations of future theme
parks are under discussion.
