Read the following pasage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet ti indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
Have you ever played a set of wine glasses as a musical instrument? If so, then you’re familiar with the
fact that glass is a material that can be used to make musical sounds.
The glass harmonica belongs to a class of instruments called crystallophones, which use glass as their
sound-producing material. More specifically, it is the friction of running a wet finger along a glass surface that
produces sound in a glass harmonica. Have you ever made a ringing sound by moving your finger around the
edge of a drinking glass? The glass harmonica operates on the same principle.
The components of the instrument have changed somewhat over time. In the 1740s, a musician named
Richard Pockrich toured London with an early form of the glass harmonica. It was made of an array of glasses
filled to different levels with water. Working with a professional glassblower, Franklin had 37 glass bowls made

in a range of sizes. Each created a different pitch. Instead of using them upright, Franklin turned his glass
bowls sideways. He stacked them from largest to smallest along a central pole. The pole could be spun using a
foot pedal. Arranged this way, with the bowls close together and spinning in the same
direction, a musician could play up to 10 notes at once. Each finger could touch a different spinning disk and
produce a note.
Contemporary composers found the sound of the glass harmonica strange and interesting. Many,
including Mozart and Beethoven, created compositions for the instrument. But ultimately, the popularity of the
glass harmonica faded. And for a long time, it was forgotten. In the 1980s, an instrument maker
named Gerhard Finkenbeiner began producing an updated version of Franklin’s glass harmonica, which is still
sold today. This caused the glass harmonica to experience a revival as modern musicians discovered its charms.

A. how to make instruments from unusual materials
B. the history of an instrument called the glass harmonica
C. the materials used in instruments to make sound

B. Richard Pockrich
C. Instrument

Question 39: The word “faded” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to
A. handled
B. felt
C. lessened

A. They were one of the earliest musical instruments.
B. The material they use to produce sound is glass.
C. Their range is limited to 10 notes.
D. They use the same principle as a traditional harmonica.
Question 41: Which is NOT true about Franklin’s glass harmonica?
A. It was made of 37 glass bowls.
B. A player’s figers could play different notes.

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
We drink lots of beverages in our daily lives. Advertisements tell us we should choose beverages like
diet soda and energy drinks. But are these really healthy choices?
Diet soda is like normal soda, but it is sweetened with artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. As a result,
it does not contain any calories. Diet soda is advertised as a healthier option than regular soda. However, new
studies show a link between obesity and diet soda. It is thought that calorie-free sweeteners may cause cravings
for sugar, just like sugar itself does. Scientists also think artificial sweeteners might cause problems with the
signals that tell our brains we are full. Aside from weight gain, diet sodas could also be responsible for heart
disease, diabetes, and other diseases.
Because of the way energy drinks are advertised, people think that they will improve alertness or
performance in sports. However, when consumers use energy drinks, they are not always aware of what they
are putting into their bodies. Caffeine intake is a particular problem when it comes to energy drinks. Most
people are not aware of how much caffeine such beverages contain. Some can deliver a dose of over 500

milligrams, the same as 14 cans of soda. Consuming large amounts of caffeine is not safe, and it is certainly
not healthy. Scientific studies suggest that there is a link between the consumption of energy drinks and
anxiety, sleep problems, and increased heart rate and blood pressure. In certain cases, where young athletes
have a particularly serious workout schedule, energy drinks may provide some benefit. But for everyone else,
water and a balanced diet are best.
The truth is, diet soda and energy drinks may not be as healthy as advertised. It is important to know
that drinking too much of these types of beverages can be risky.

A. reasons to avoid beverages containing caffeine
B. how to advertise diet soda and energy drinks
C. healthy options instead of diet soda and energy drinks
D. why diet soda and energy drinks can be unhealthy
