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 17 to 24.


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 facade 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 17. The word "drastically" in the passage is closest in meaning to _____ .
A. exactly
B. frequently
C. severely
D. easily
Question 18. Why does the author mention "artistic, political, or pedagogic communication" ?
A. To contrast them to singing
B. As examples of public performance
C. To introduce the idea of self-image
D. As examples of basic styles of communication
Question 19. The word "derived" in the passage is closest in meaning to _____ .
A. obtained
B. discussed
C. registered
D. prepared
Question 20. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Communication styles
B. The function of the voice in performance
C. The connection between voice and personality D. The production of speech
Question 21. The word "Here" in the passage refers to _____ .
A. the tone
B. interpersonal interactions C. words chosen
D. ideas and feelings
Question 22. According to the passage, an exuberant tone of voice may be an indication of a person's ____
A. personality
B. general physical health
C. vocal quality

D. ability to communicate
Question 23. What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas and
feelings over and above the words chosen" ?
A. A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication.
B. The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words.

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 25 to 31.
There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known, however, that the sport originated
in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of rugby. Early games used an inflated
rubber ball that came from India known as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls"). Pronounced "polo" by
the English, both the game and the ball became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming
exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in
1870. At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands. A favorite trick of the
players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water,
they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible. The introduction of the rules by Scottish players
changed the nature of water polo. It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish rules
moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10x 3 feet and a goal could be
scored by being thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be
taken under water. The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball. If the player came up too near the
goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck. Games were often
nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches

that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in the USA in
1888. The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water. "American
style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890's was played in such venues as Madison Square
Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games.

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 29 to 36.
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 facade 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 29. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Communication styles

B. The function of the voice in performance
C. The production of speech
D. The connection between voice and personality
Question 30. According to the passage, an exuberant tone of voice may be an indication of a person's ____

A. ideas and feelings B. interpersonal interactions C. words chosen
D. the tone
Question 32. What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas and
feelings over and above the words chosen" ?
A. The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words.
B. Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are.
C. A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication.
D. Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas.

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 41 to 47.
There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known, however, that the sport originated
in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of rugby. Early games used an inflated
rubber ball that came from India known as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls"). Pronounced "polo" by
the English, both the game and the ball became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming
exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in
1870. At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands. A favorite trick of the
players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water,
they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible. The introduction of the rules by Scottish players
changed the nature of water polo. It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish rules
moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10x 3 feet and a goal could be
scored by being thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be
taken under water. The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball. If the player came up too near the
goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck. Games were often
nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches
that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in the USA in
1888. The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water. "American
style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890's was played in such venues as Madison Square
Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games.

B. water polo first appeared somewhere outside England.
C. water polo is an aquatic version of rugby.

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known, however, that the sport originated
in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of rugby. Early games used an inflated
rubber ball that came from India known as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls"). Pronounced "polo" by
the English, both the game and the ball became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming
exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in
1870. At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands. A favorite trick of the
players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water,

they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible. The introduction of the rules by Scottish players
changed the nature of water polo. It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish rules
moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10x 3 feet and a goal could be
scored by being thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be
taken under water. The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball. If the player came up too near the
goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck. Games were often


nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches
that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in the USA in
1888. The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water. "American
style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890's was played in such venues as Madison Square
Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games.

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.
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 facade 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 43. Why does the author mention "artistic, political, or pedagogic communication" ?
A. To introduce the idea of self-image
B. As examples of basic styles of communication
C. To contrast them to singing
D. As examples of public performance
Question 44. What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas and
feelings over and above the words chosen" ?
A. The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words.
B. A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication.
C. Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are.
D. Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas.
Question 45. According to the passage, an exuberant tone of voice may be an indication of a person's ____
A. vocal quality
B. personality
C. general physical health
D. ability to communicate
Question 46. The word "derived" in the passage is closest in meaning to _____ .
