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
Laws are rules that a society makes to maintain order and keep citizens and their possessions safe. Most
countries have thousands of laws that are enforced by police officers with the help of court systems.
Laws today are based on those of earlier societies. Ancient Egypt had laws in 3000 B.C. They were based
on common sense views of right and wrong. All people were equal under the law. When a person
broke the law, their punishment could be as simple as returning a stolen item or as severe as lashings from a
whip. Sometimes, a person’s entire family could be punished for their crimes.
Later, there was the Code of Hammurabi from the land of Babylon. It was the first written code of law in
history and was created in 1772 B.C. It included 282 laws in total. This is where we get the phrase, “an eye for
an eye” as that was a punishment. There were laws about rewards for returning slaves to owners, laws about
marriage, laws about compensation for theft and loss, and laws about responsibility if a house collapsed. These
laws were originally written on giant stone tablets. Some tablets still exist and are kept in the Louvre Museum.
Later, the Romans created their first legal text, the Law of the Twelve Tables, in the mid-5th century B.C.
These laws were mostly civil, meaning they were private laws about how citizens interacted. That meant
Romans focused on laws about property and possession. These laws were so well formed that they have

affected lawyers ever since.
Without these ancient examples, our modern laws would be very different. We have many laws today,
and new ones are still being created by governments. Sometimes, governments change past laws as well. In the
early 20th century, the government banned alcohol in the U.S. Later, the government made alcohol legal and
set a drinking age. This is just one example of how laws can be changed.
Question 36: What is the passage mainly about?
A. who wrote down laws in ancient Rome
B. why today’s laws are the same as ancient laws
C. how laws have changed since ancient times
D. how ancient punishments were better than modern punishments

B. explain how laws were used in ancient Egypt
C. discuss how Egyptian laws were written

A. Societies
B. Ancient Egyptians
C. Laws
D. Citizens
Question 39: The word “entire” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A. limited
B. whole

A. before 3000 B.C.
B. in 1772 B.C.
C. in the mid-5th century B.C.
D. in the 20th century

A. The Law of the Twelve Tables was the Romans’ fist legal text.
B. Many laws were about how people interacted.
C. Modern lawyers are inflenced by Roman laws.

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
No matter what you touch, you always leave behind fingerprints. Fingerprints are those patterns on the
tips of your fingers. They are more unique than a person’s DNA. That’s why when fingerprints are left at a
crime scene, the police can use them to help catch the criminal.
The study of fingerprints is a fairly contemporary practice. In the 1870s, a man named Henry Faulds
noticed that fingerprints had been left behind on pieces of ancient pottery which he dug up in Japan. He was
inspired to study fingerprints and later published a paper in Nature magazine in 1880. In it, he wrote about
ways to use fingerprints to catch criminals. Soon, the idea began to spread. In 1901, Scotland Yard started a
Fingerprint Bureau. And the next year, fingerprints were first used as evidence in a British court.
Today, we know that fingerprint patterns are made by ridges in the skin. Our sweat glands produce oils
on our skin that cause fingerprints to be left behind on things. Fingerprints are all unique, but they have
common patterns such as loops, whorls, and arches. It’s the combination of these patterns in different sizes that
makes fingerprints so unique.
The police have forensic experts gather prints at crime scenes or from suspects. The forensic experts
can collect fingerprints from different objects in order to find criminals. They dust the prints with a powder to
make fingerprints visible. Then they press a film against a print to copy them. This can then be preserved and
compared against prints taken from people. In the past, people put their fingers in ink and left their fingerprints

on paper. Today, they can place their fingers on a scanner and the images can be saved on computers and
shared worldwide.
For years, criminals have tried to change their fingerprints to avoid the police. Some damage them, but
they grow back in the same patterns. There’s no doubt that collecting fingerprints gives the police an advantage
when it comes to catching criminals.
