PASSAGE 1 – Questions 1-10
The hugs that keep on giving
Every weekend over the past 10 months, Nguyen Bao Ngoc has been walking around the Sword Lake in
Hanoi, dressed up as Doremon, a popular Japanese comic book character that is half cat half robot.
Stretching his arms out, he tries to hug as many strangers as possible. Some stop to hug him back before
putting money into one of the boxes that his friends are holding. Some others walk faster and avoid eye
contact with him. Ngoc, 23, says he started the “Hug Me” (Om toidi) campaign in February, inspired by the
Free Hugs social movement in Australia. The difference is his hugs are not free, because he wants to raise
money to help children in poor and remote areas around the country.A
The senior college student who is studying to become a TV reporter has been doing charity work for three
years. In one of his most successful attempts, he worked as a xe om motorbike taxi driver in his free time
and donated all the money he could earn to poor families in his hometown in Quang Binh Province. But
“Hug Me,” Ngoc says, is his favorite because with it, he can get the attention of his peers. “Young people
my age have been more into social media than real life. We may cry over a sad story on Facebook but when
we witness the same story in real life, we can be indifferent". B
As hugging in public is not very common in Vietnam, Ngoc said he puts on costume so that strangers
will not feel uncomfortable. Doremon the cat is in fact famous for its friendliness and kindness. Sometimes,
for a change, he also dresses as a bee or a puppy.C
Many students who gave him a hug donated more than VND5,000, which is what he hopes to receive,


allowing the campaign to earn between $50 and $200 each week. Some also brought old clothes and books.
Ngoc has organized two trips to bring gifts and food to children in Quang Binh and the northern
mountainous province of Yen Bai this year. The third has been planned for December.
Ngoc has been diagnosed with first stage bone marrow cancer but he says his condition is "stable." He says
he does not want to be defined by his illness. Having cancer is not the motivation for him to help others.
“I’d do it anyway. I want people to see me as a student doing charity work, not a cancer patient doing
charity work." D

PASSAGE 2 – Questions 11-20
MY FIRST BIKE
My biking beginnings can be summed up in two words: teenage love. My first girlfriend was small
with short blonde hair, and I was mad about her. Our romance came to an abrupt end, however, when she
started going out with another guy in my hometown, Crieff. He rode a 50 cc road motorbike first and then a
125. And whereas I had always walked my girlfriend home, suddenly she was going back with this guy.
I was nearly sixteen by then and already heartbroken. Then one day, on the way back from a
shopping trip to Perth with my mum, we passed Buchan’s, the local bike shop. There was a light blue 50 cc
bike on display right at the front of the shop. I didn’t know what make it was, or if it was any good. Such
trivialities were irrelevant to me. All I knew was that I could get it in three months’ 10 time when I was
sixteen and allowed to ride it. Maybe I could even get my girlfriend back.
I’d ridden my first bike when I was about six. My father organised a tiny red Honda 50 cc and we headed
off to a field that belonged to a family friend. I clambered on and shot off. I thought it was just the best
thing. Just one large heap of straw. I thought I would have a go. I came racing towards the adults, shot right
through the gap in the straw. I was thrilled to hear the adults scream and elated that it had frightened them.
It was my first time on a motorbike. It was exciting and I wanted more.
So when I looked through Buchan’s window in Perth that day, it suddenly all made sense to me. I
can’t remember whether it was to win back my ex-girlfriend’s heart or not, but more than anything else it
meant that, instead of having to walk everywhere, I could ride my motorbike to school and the games fields
at the bottom of Crieff and when I went out at weekends.
I started to fantasise about it. I spent all my waking hours thinking about getting on and starting up
the bike, putting on the helmet and riding around Crieff. I couldn’t sleep. Driven to desperation by my desire

for a bike, I made a series of promises to my mum: I won’t leave town. I’ll be very safe. I won’t take any
risks. I won’t do anything stupid. But, in fact I was making the promises up – I never thought about keeping
them.
Crieff is a small town and my whole childhood was spent walking around the town. It was great, but
I was getting to that age when children become aware of the possibilities of venturing further afield.
Unless, like us, you went everywhere by bicycle. With so many beautiful places nearby, the idea of getting a
motorbike was too much to resist.

PASSAGE 3 – Questions 21-30
THE BEATLES
The Beatles became the most popular group in rock music history. This quartet of extraordinarily
talented musicians generated a phenomenal number of pieces that won gold records. They inspired a frenzy
that transcended countries and economic strata. While all of them sang, John Lennon and Paul McCartney
wrote the majority of their songs. Originally, Lennon and five others formed a group called the Quarrymen
in 1956, with McCartney joining them later that year. George Harrison, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney,
together with Stuart Sutcliffe, who played the bass guitar, and Pete Best on the drums, performed together in
several bands for a few years, until they finally settled on the Silver Beatles in 1960. American rock
musicians, such as Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley, influenced Lennon’s and McCartney’s music, whose first
hits consisted of simple tunes and lyrics about young love, “Love Me Do” and “Please, Please Me”. The
Beatles’s U.S tour propelled them to stardom and led to two movies A Hard Day’s Night and Help!, filmed in
1964 and 1965. The so-called British invasion of the United States was in full swing when they took the top
five spots on the singles charts, followed by the release of their first film.
During the 1960s, their music matured and acquired a sense of melody. The lyrics of their songs
became deeper and gained in both imagination and meaning. Their popularity continued to grow as the
Beatles turned their attention to social problems and political issues in “Nowhere Man” and “Eleanor
Rigby.” Loneliness and nostalgia come through in their ballads “Michelle” and “Yesterday,” which fully
displayed the group’s professional development and sophistication. Lennon’s sardonic music with lyrics
written in the first person, and McCartney’s songs that created scenarios with offbeat individuals,
contributed to the character of the music produced by the group. In addition to their music, the Beatles set a
social trend that popularized long hair, Indian music, and mod dress.
For a variety of reasons, the musicians began to drift apart, and their last concert took place in San
Francisco in 1966. The newspapers and tabloids publicized their quarrels and lawsuits, and the much

idolized group finally disbanded in 1970. However, their albums had outsold those of any other band in
history. Although all of the Beatles continued to perform solo or form new rock groups, alone, none could
achieve the recognition and success that they had been able to win together.

C. The history and milestone of rock music

PASSAGE 4 – Questions 31-40
THE UNITED NATIONS
When the United Nations was first formed in 1945, only 51 countries were members. Now, however,
the United Nations is truly a world organization. In fact, today almost every nation in the world is a
member of the UN. The main goal of the United Nations is to bring different nations together to promote
peace and justice in the world. The UN also works to make the world a safe and secure place.
It is important to remember that the UN is not a "world government". This means that the UN does
not make laws for different countries to follow. It also does not enforce laws made by governments.
However, the UN does hold regular votes on global policies and issues. Also, like a government, the UN is
divided into different branches, or sections. Considering that the UN is such a large organization, it
makes sense that it needs to be separated into different pieces to be effective. There are six branches in
the United Nations. Below, the first three branches of the UN are discussed. In a later chapter, the other
three divisions will be explained.
The main branch is called the "General Assembly". In this branch, all members of the United Nations are
represented. Each member country has one vote. These votes are counted when the UN has meetings about
world issues. For example, if there is a problem in a certain area of the world or in a particular country, the
UN will vote on how to best solve the problem. At least two- thirds of all member countries, that is 67
percent, must agree on how to resolve the problem in order for the UN to take action. If less than twothirds of the voting countries agree, no immediate action is taken.
Another branch of the UN is the Security Council. (A) The main purpose of this department is to maintain
international peace and keep the world secure. (B) In this branch, there are only fifteen members. Five of
these members are permanent. The permanent members are China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom
(Britain), and the United States. (C) The other ten members are elected by the General Assembly for twoyear terms. (D)
The third important branch of the UN is the Economic and Social Council. This branch works to help
monitor the world economy. It also works to resolve social issues around the world. For example, issues of
concern for the Economic and Social Council are violations of human rights, the fight against international
crime such as selling illegal drugs, and destruction of the environment. There are 54 government
representatives serving on this council. These members are elected by the General Assembly to serve for

three-year terms. Council members are elected to represent certain areas of the world, so the council has
fourteen members from Africa, eleven from Asia, ten from South America, and nineteen from Europe and
North America.
31. The word “branches” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A. growing parts
B. locations
C. divisions
D. places of separation
32. The word “maintain” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
A. hold on to
B. preserve
C. develop
D. argue
33. The pronoun "it" in paragraph 5 refers to
A. the world economy
B. the general assembly of the UN
C. the monitors
D. the Economic and Social Council.
34. In paragraph 2, why does the writer mention the highlighted sentence?
"Considering that the UN is such a large organization, it makes sense that it needs to be separated into
different pieces to be effective."
A. To defend the reasoning behind separating the UN into different sections
B. To argue for the UN as a world government
C. To say that there are a total of six branches in the UN
D. To explain how the voting works in the UN
7

35. How does the author argue that the UN is a true global organization?

A. There are 51 nations involved.
B. It allows each country to vote.
C. It includes almost all countries in the world.
D. It acts as a global government.
36. According to the passage, where does the largest percentage of representatives on the Economic and Social
Council come from?
A. Europe and North America
B. Asia
C. South America
D. Africa
37. According to the passage, how many members of the Security Council are elected on a rotating basis?
A. 15
B. 5
C. 20
D. 10
38. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in
paragraph 3?
At least two-thirds of all member countries, that is 67 percent, must agree on how to resolve the
problem in order for the UN to take action
A. The United Nations cannot take action right away because the General Assembly always has to meet together
and vote.
B. At least 66 percent of the General Assembly votes whenever the UN is asked to take action.
C. A certain number of members must vote the same way in order for the assembly to do something.
D. Countries that vote in General Assembly of the UN seldom agree, so immediate action on issues is not taken.
39. Where would the following sentence best fit in paragraph 4?
If the Council feels that international peace is being threatened, the fifteen members will try to outline
a way to resolve the situation in a peaceful manner.
A. Paragraph 4, line 1
B. Paragraph 4, line 2
C. Paragraph 4, line 4

D. Paragraph 4, line 5
40. What does the author imply when he explains that the UN is not a world government?
A. The UN would probably work better if it did function as a government.
B. Some larger countries would like the UN to be a government.
C. Many people mistakenly think that the UN is really a type of government.

PASSAGE 1 – Questions 1-10
STREET VENDORS STRUGGLE AMIDST GLOBAL INTEGRATION
HA NOI (VNS) — As the country is integrating deeper into the world market, a number of street
vendors who come to pursue their dream in cities might lose their jobs, experts have warned. With the
ASEAN Economic Community formed at the end of this year and the conclusion of the
Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations, goods from other countries will flood Viet Nam's market, forming a
wide range of products for supermarkets and store chains. As a result, street vendors in urban areas will have

fewer customers and finally disappear, said Nguyen Thi Lan Huong, director of the Institute of Labour
Science and Social Affairs. A
Nguyen Thi Lan, a street vendor from Thai Binh province, said that her business met many
difficulties due to the increased number of stores and supermarkets. "We used to make between VND6
million (nearly US$270) and VND7 million (nearly $315) monthly but now our income has been unstable
as we have fewer customers."B
Nguyen Anh Tuan, 30, who lives in the Old Quarter said that he usually buys fruits and small items like
scissors and cotton swabs from street vendors. "It is really convenient and quick. I can just stand at the front
door and call for the food while going to stores or especially to the supermarket takes me a lot of time.
Moreover, I can bargain with the street vendors – one thing which you cannot do in the supermarkets."C
Nguyen Thi Thanh Na, 28, a migrant worker in Ha Noi wants to buy fruits and other items from street
vendors for another reason. "I come from rural areas so I sympathise with people who have to leave their
hometowns and make ends meet in the city. They have to walk around the 20 streets all day to find
customers and sometimes, they are chased and their goods are confiscated by local police."D
Lessons from developed countries show that informal workers like street vendors will be negatively
affected or even disappear in the integration process; therefore, authorised agencies need to provide them
with vocational training to help them adapt to the new situation, Vu Huu Kien, a 25 senior lecturer of
international labour organisation said.
Sharing his opinion, Nguyen Thi Lan Huong, director of the Institute of Labour Science and Social Affairs
said that street vendors should be trained to find jobs in industrial parks and in financial and personal
service sectors.

PASSAGE 2 – Questions 11-20
MY FIRST LOVE
During the baking hot months of the summer holidays, my mother and I used to escape to one of the
scattered lakes north of Prince Albert. In its magic surroundings, we used to spend the long summer days in
the open air, swimming and canoeing or just lying dreaming in the sun. In the evening, the lake was always
a bright, luminous grey after the unbelievable sunset colours had faded.
The last summer before we returned to England was particularly enchanted. For one thing, I was in
love for the first time. No one will ever convince me that one cannot be in love at fifteen. I loved then as
never since, with all my heart and without doubts or reservations or pretence.
My boyfriend Don worked in Saskatoon, but the lake was "his place" — the strange and beautiful
wilderness drew him with an obsessive urgency, so I suspected it was not to see me that he got on his
motorcycle as many Fridays as he possibly could, and drove three hundred-odd miles along the pitted
prairie roads to spend the weekends at our place.
Sometimes he couldn't come, and the joy would go out of everything until Monday, when I could start
looking forward to Friday again. He could never let us know in advance, as we were too far from
civilization to have a phone or even a telegraph service. Besides, Don was hard up, and sometimes worked
overtime at weekends.
One Friday night a storm broke out. I lay in bed and listened to the thunder and the rain beating on
the roof. I tried not to expect Don that night hoping he would have enough sense to wait until the storm
ended. Yet in my frightened thoughts, I couldn't help imagining Don fighting the storm. His motorbike
seemed, in my thoughts, frail enough to be blown onto its side by the first gust that struck it. I thought of

Don pinned under it, skidding, his face pressed into the mud.
I crawled back into bed, trying to close my throat against the tears. But when my mother, prompted
by the deep sympathy and understanding between us, came in to me, she kissed my cheek and found it wet.
"Don't get upset, Jane," she said softly. "He may still come."
When she had tucked me in and gone, I lay thinking about Don, about the danger of the roads — you
couldn't ride or walk along them safely after heavy rain; your feet would slip from under you. The roads in
Northern Canada are not like the friendly well-populated English ones, where there are always farmhouses
within walking distance and cars driving along them day and night.
It was hours later that I suddenly realized the sound of the roaring engine was real. The storm was
dying. I lay absolutely still, relief and pain fighting for ascendancy within me, each in itself
overwhelming enough to freeze the breath in my lungs as I heard Don's heavy tired footsteps on the
wooden stairs.
11. Every summer, Jane used to spend:
A. in the camp
B. by the sea side
C. near the lake
D. in the village
12. The word "faded" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to:

PASSAGE 3 – Questions 21-30
KETCHUP
The sauce that is today called ketchup (or catsup) in Western cultures is a tomato-based sauce that is
quite distinct from Eastern ancestors of this product. A sauce called ke-tjap was in use in China at least as
early as the 17th century, but the Chinese version of the sauce was made of picked fish, shellfish, and spices.
The popularity of this Chinese sauce spread to Singapore and Malaysia, where it was called kechap. The
Indonesian ketjab derives its name from the same source of the Malysian sauce but is made from very different
ingredients. The Indonesian ketjab is made by cooking black soy beans, fermenting them, placing them in a
salt brine for at least a week , cooking the resulting solution further, and sweetening it heavily; this process
results in a dark, thick and sweet variation of soy sauce.
Early in the 18th century, sailors from the Bristish navy came across this exotic sauce on voyages to
Malaysia and Singapore and brought samples of it back to England on return voyages. English chefs tried to
recreate the sauce but were unable to do exactly because key ingredients were unknown or unavailable in
England; chefs ended up substituting ingredients such as mushrooms and walnuts in an attempt to recreate the
special taste of the original Asian sauce. Variations of this sauce became quite the rage in the 18th century
England, appearing in a number of recipe books and features as an exotic addition to menus from the period.
The English version did not contain tomatoes, and it was not until the end of the 18th century that
tomatoes became a main ingredients in the ketchup of the United States. It is quite notable that tomatoes were
added to the sauce and that tomatoes had previously been considered quite dangerous to health. That tomato
had been cultivated by the Aztecs, who had called it tomato; however, early botanists had recognized that
tomato was a member of the Solanecae a family, which does include a number of poisonous plant. The leaves
of the tomato plant are poisonous, though of course the fruit is not.
(A) Thomas Jefferson, who cultivated the tomato in his gardens at Monticello and served dishes containing
tomatoes at lavish feasts, often receive credit for changing the reputation of the tomato.
(B) Soon after Jefferso had introduced the tomato to American society, recipes combining the new fashinonabe
tomato with the equally fashionable and exotic sauce known as ketchap began to appear. (C) By the middle of
the 19th century, both of the tomato and tomato ketchup were stables of the American kitchen. (D)
Tomato ketchup, popular though it was, was quite time-consuming to prepare. In 1876, the first massproduced tomato ketchup, a product of German-American Henry Heizn, went on sale and chieved immediate
success. From tomato ketchup, Heizn branched out into a number of other products, including various sauces,

pickles, and relishes.

PASSAGE 4 – Questions 31-40
FOOD CHAINS
Originally, the idea of a "food chain" was developed by a scientist named Charles Elton in1927. Elton
described a general food chain in terms of where plants and animals get their energy. He started with plants,
which get energy from sunlight. Next, plant-eating animals get their energy from eating other plants. At the
next level of the chain, meat-eating animals get their energy from eating other animals. Elton's idea of a
"chain" related to the concept that all these animals are linked together by what they eat. Anything that affects
one part of the chain affects all of the other parts in the chain. The first part of the chain, plants, is called the
producer. All of the parts of the chain above the producer are called consumers.
Here is a simple example of a food chain. Grass uses sunlight to produce sugars and proteins so that it
can grow. Rabbits eat the grass and get energy from it. Foxes eat rabbits and get energy from them. Foxes are
at the "top" of this food chain because nothing eats them. Now imagine that a farmer plows up the field of
grass where the rabbits usually eat. Some of the rabbits might die. Others will probably move to another
location to find food. In either case, there are fewer rabbits. This means less food for the foxes. Thus, the

foxes depend on the grass in a way, even though they don't eat the grass directly.
A In the natural world, of course, there are no simple food chains like this. Rabbits eat lots of plants
besides grass. B. Foxes eat lots of things besides rabbits. C. Additionally, there are lots of other things in
nature that eat grass and rabbits! D
However, that does not mean the idea of a simple food chain is not important. Food chains are still a
useful concept to consider, even if they are an oversimplification of reality. Take, for example, the case of
DDT's effect on animals. In the 1960s, DDT, a common pesticide at that time, was used a lot by farmers.
Farmers only used a little at a time, so large animals were not harmed. However, once DDT was used in a
field, it did not go away. Whenever it was used, DDT just stayed in the environment. Eventually, rain washed
it into rivers and lakes. Plankton, a tiny water 25 organism, absorbed the DDT. Then, fish ate the plankton.
There was not much DDT in one bit of plankton, but small fish consumed many little bits of plankton. Then,
larger fish ate lots of the smaller fish. So, the concentration of DDT in the larger fish became higher. Then,
birds such as the osprey ate large quantities of the larger fish.
In the end, compared to the concentration of DDT in plankton, the concentration of DDT in osprey was 10
million times greater! The DDT did not kill the osprey, though. It just made the female osprey lay eggs with
very thin shells. The shells were so thin that when the mother sat on the eggs, they broke. Thus the osprey
population became greatly reduced before rebounding to today's levels.
31. According to the passage, which of the following is true about Elton's idea of food chains?
A. He only looked at plants and animals near his home.
B. Other scientists at the time rejected Elton's idea.
C. The chains started with plants.
D. They measured the energy stored in food.
32. As used in paragraph 2, what is the meaning of the word "field"?
A. A piece of land for plants
B. An area of study
C. A place for playing games
D. A region that is visible
33. What does "others" in paragraph 2 refer to?

Social Networks
Do the names MySpace, Facebook, Orkut, etc. ring a bell? They probably do because they are some of the
most popular sites on the internet today. These sites are all called 'social networking' sites because they help
people meet and discuss things online.
Each of these social networking sites has its own strengths: MySpace is especially popular among teenagers,
Facebook is popular with college age people, Orkut is especially loved in Brazil, and CyWorld is the site to
visit in South Korea. The common thread between all of these social networks is that they provide a place for
people to interact, rather than a place to go to read or listen to 'content'. Web 2.0
Social networks are considered to be web 2.0. What does this mean? To understand this, it's important to
understand what the original web did (often called web 1.0). Back in the nineties, the internet - or web - was a
place to go to read articles, listen to music, get information, etc.
Most people didn't contribute to the sites. They just 'browsed' the sites and took advantage of the information
or resources provided. Of course, some people did create their own sites. However, creating a site was

difficult. You needed to know basic HTML coding (the original language the internet uses to 'code' pages). It
certainly wasn't something most people wanted to do as it could take hours to get a basic page just right.
Things began to get easier when blogs (from web log) were introduced. With blogs, many more people began
writing 'posts', as well as commenting on other people's blogs.
MySpace Surprises Everybody
In 2003 a site named MySpace took the internet by storm. It was trying to mimic the most popular features
of Friendster, the first social networking site. It quickly became popular among young users and the rest was
history. Soon everyone was trying to develop a social networking site. The sites didn't provide 'content' for
people to enjoy, they helped people create, communicate and share what they loved including music, images
and videos. Key to Success
Relying on users to create content is the key to the success of web 2.0 companies. Besides the social
networking sites discussed here, other huge success stories include: Wikipedia, Digg.com and the latest
success - Twitter. All of these companies rely on the desire of users to communicate with each other, thereby
creating the 'content' that others want to consume.

PASSAGE 2 – Questions 11-20
Floods are second only to fire as the most common of all natural disasters. They occur almost
everywhere in the world, resulting in widespread damage and even death. Consequently, scientists have long
tried to perfect their ability to predict floods. So far, the best that scientists can do is to recognize the potential
for flooding in certain conditions. There are at least a number of conditions, from deep snow on the ground to
human error, that cause flooding.
The first cause of flooding is deep snow on the ground. When deep snow melts, it creates a large
amount of water. Although deep snow alone rarely causes floods, when it occurs together with heavy rain and
sudden warmer weather, it can lead to serious flooding. If there is a fast snow melt on top of frozen or very wet
ground, flooding is more likely to occur than when the ground is not frozen. Frozen ground or ground that is
very wet and already saturated with water cannot absorb the additional water created by the melting snow.
Melting snow also contributes to high water levels in rivers and streams. Whenever rivers are already at their
full capacity of water, heavy rains will result in the rivers overflowing and flooding the surrounding land.
Secondly, rivers that are covered in ice can also lead to flooding. When ice begins to melt, the surface
of the ice cracks and breaks into large pieces. These pieces of ice move and float down the river. They can
form a dam in the river, causing the water behind the dam to rise and flood the land upstream. If the dam

breaks suddenly, then the large amount of water held behind the dam can flood the areas downstream too.
Broken ice dams are not the only dam problems that can cause flooding. Those carelessly constructed
by humans can also result in floods. When a large human-made dam breaks or fails to hold the water collected
behind it, the results can be devastating. Dams contain such huge amounts of water behind them that when
sudden breaks occur, the destructive force of the water is like a great tidal wave. Unleashed dam waters can
travel tens of kilometres, cover the ground in metres of mud and debris, and drown and crush everything and
creature in their path.
Although scientists cannot always predict exactly when floods will occur, they do know a great deal about
when floods are likely, or probably, going to occur. Deep snow, ice-covered rivers, and weak dams are all
strong conditions for potential flooding. Hopefully, this knowledge of why floods happen can help us reduce
the damage they cause.

PASSAGE 3 – Questions 21-30
Musical Talents
Among all the abilities with which an individual may be endowed, musical talent appears earliest in life. Very
young children can exhibit musical precocity for different reasons. Some develop exceptional skill as a result
of a well – designed instructional regime, such as the Suzuki method for the violin. Some have the good
fortune to be born into a musical family in a household filled with music. In a number of interesting cases,
musical talent is part of an otherwise disabling condition such as autism or mental retardation. A musically
gifted child has an inborn talent; however, the extent to which the talent is expressed publicly will depend
upon the environment in which the child lives.
Musically gifted children master at an early age the principal elements of music, including pitch and rhythm.
Pitch – or melody – is more central in certain cultures, for example, in Eastern societies that make use of tiny
quarter – tone intervals. Rhythm, sounds produced at certain auditory frequencies and grouped according to a
prescribed system, is emphasized in sub – Saharan Africa, where the rhythm ratios can be very complex.
All children have some aptitude for making music. During infancy, normal children sing as well as babble, and
they can produce individual sounds and sound patterns. However, individual differences begin to emerge in
young children as they learn to sing. Some children can match large segments of a song by the age of two or
three. Many others can only approximate pitch at this age and may still have difficulty in producing accurate
melodies by the age of five or six. However, by the time they reach school age, most reasonably accurate
imitation of the songs commonly heard in their environment.

The early appearance of superior musical ability in some children provides evidence that musical talent may
be a separate and unique form of intelligence. There are numerous tales of young artists who have a
remarkable ―ear‖ or extraordinary memory for music and a natural understanding of musical structure. In
many of these cases, the child is average in every other way but displays an exceptional ability in music. Even
the most gifted child, however, takes about ten years to achieve the levels of performance or composition that
would constitute mastery of the musical sphere.
Every generation in music history has had its famous prodigies – individuals with exceptional musical powers
that emerge at a young age. In the eighteenth century, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart began composing and
performing at the age of six. As a child, Mozart could play the piano like an adult. He has perfect pitch, and at
age nine he was also a master of the art of modulation – transitions from one key to another – which became
one of the hallmarks of his style. By the age of eleven, he had composed three symphonies and 30 other major
works. Mozard’s well – developed talent was preserved into adulthood.
21. The word precocity in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
A. strong interest
B. good luck
C. advanced skill
D. personal style
22. Which sentence below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in paragraph 1?
A. Children may be born with superior musical ability, but their environment will determine how this ability is
developed.
B. Every child is naturally gifted, and it is the responsibility of the public schools to recognize and develop these
talent.
C. Children with exceptional musical talent will look for the best way to express themselves through music –
making.
D. Some musically talented children live in an environment surrounded by music, while others have little
exposure to music.
23. What is pitch?
A. rhythm
B. a principal element of music
C. tone

D. frequency
24. According to paragraph 2, how are principal elements of music emphasized in Sub – Saharan Africa?

PASSAGE 4 – Questions 31-40
The UH-1 Helicopter: Icon of the Vietnam War
Every modern war has its icon, the technological development essential to the conflict, the one that changes
the course of battle and becomes, ever after, symbolic of the time. The Civil War’s cannon, World War I’s
machine gun, World War II’s tank — each left its mark on the landscape and the soldier. Vietnam’s icon was
the helicopter, specifically the UH-1 utility helicopter soldiers referred to as ―the Huey.‖
The geographic and political realities of Vietnam called for a new kind of warfare, one the U.S.
Army termed ―Airmobile.‖ Remote battle zones, mountains topped in old-growth hardwood jungles, and
poorly developed roads eliminated motor vehicles as a means of quickly moving masses of troops and
supplies. Helicopters took over. In Airmobile warfare, flocks of helicopters took troops and supplies to
strategic locations, monitored operations from the air, engaged in battle, and evacuated forces. The famed
U.S. Army 1st Cavalry joined aviation units already in Vietnam to pioneer Airmobile operations, trading its
horses for helicopters and creating an archetype followed by the 101 st Airborne, the 1st Aviation Brigade, and

several other aviation units and smaller detachments.
Many helicopters were used in Vietnam, but none was as widely employed as the Huey. The UH-1
―Iroquois,‖ popularly dubbed the Huey, is known as ―the workhorse of the Vietnam War,‖ used by all
military forces for troop transport, medical evacuation, and combat assault. Hueys transported soldiers and
supplies to the lines as the horses for a modern cavalry. The U.S. Army and Marine Corps made them into
gunships, modifying them with machine guns and air-to-ground rocket pods and putting them to work in
frontal assaults. Hueys carried officers to develop battle plans, soldiers to battle, nurses to orphanages, and
―Donut Dollies‖ to entertain troops. Outfitted with broadcasting systems, they ferried Psychological
Operations (PSYOPS) messengers.
And, perhaps most significantly, Hueys were the technology behind ―Dustoffs,‖ evacuations of the wounded
so-named by a pilot who gave his life doing it. The ability to swoop into the battle, load the Huey with
wounded, and fly to evacuation hospitals, started in Korea and refined in Vietnam, has been called ―one of
the major medical innovations of the Vietnam War.‖ This quick transport meant that more than 90 percent of
wounded soldiers who reached a medical facility survived. The medical evacuation technology gained in the
Huey experience of Vietnam came home to become the air rescue operations we today take for granted. The
Huey is an enormously versatile helicopter, easily modified for various missions. The interchangeable interiors
of the Huey allowed for easy conversion from troop carrier to ambulance. It was also an amazing machine,
capable of flying in extreme stress and relatively easy to get in and out quickly–a feature crucial in troop
extraction and rescue missions. Those who flew and maintained them, the pilots and crew chiefs, are fiercely
loyal to the Huey, even though many have flown many other aircraft.
More than 7,000 Huey helicopters served in Vietnam and nearly half were lost. 2,177 Huey crew members
were killed in action. Because the Huey was always there for them, for soldiers on the ground, the distinctive
WHOP WHOP of the Huey’s 48-foot rotor blades slapping the air was the sound of their lifeline.
