II.Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions:
Ever sine humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally,
this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier
communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas.
Tourists, the deaf and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole
words are very picturesque and exact they can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.


Body language transmits idea of thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be
a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head
indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips),
signal flags, mores code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human
thoughts and feelings.
1.Which of the following best summarizes this passage?
a.When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.
b.Everybody uses only one form of communication.
c.Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners.

d.Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest.
2.Which of the following statements is not true?
a.There are many forms of communication in existence today.
b.Verbalization is the most common form of communication.
c.The deaf and mute use an oral form of communication.
d.Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by body language.
3.Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among blind people?
a. picture signs
b.Braille
c.body language
d.signal flags
4.How many different forms of communication are mentioned here?
a.5
b.7

COMPOSITION
Describe the advantages of living in the country and the disadvantages of living in the city.
(Although I’ve spent most of my life in the city, I always prefer to live in the country rather than in the city.
First, living in the country we can enjoy fresh and pure air all year round whereas the city atmosphere is seriously
polluted.
Second, we can live a safe and peacefull file in the country while townsfolk are often obsessed with sudden deaths
caused by careless drivers and fool hardy motorcyclists.


Third, nothing can be compared with beautiful sceneries at dusk and at dawn in the country side. They help us relax
wonderfully after a hard day’s work while the debaucheries in prostitute houses in beer shops and dancing-halls are
ruining
townspeople’s
body
and
soul.)

II. Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions:
During the teenage years, many young people can be difficult to talk to. They often seem to dislike
being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school. This is a normal
development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming
independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually
more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are
trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about schoolwork and future plan but
should not push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some
young people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol or smoking. Parents need to
watch for any sign of unusual behavior which may be connected with these and get help if necessary.

b. because teenagers don’t want to talk to other people.
c. because teenagers think adults are not honest.
d. because most teenagers hate adults.
3. When can you expect young people to be more talkative than usual?
a. When people talk to them because they are really interested and not just checking on them.
b. When adults give them a lot of money to spend.
c. When adults talk to them about something other than their work in school.

d. When adults talk to them about sex, alcohol, and drugs.
4. Some teenagers experiment with drinking and smoking because
a. cigarettes and alcohol are available everywhere.

Your English teacher
My English teacher is Miss Loan. She’s of medium height, about twenty five of age. She’s fairy
pretty with her oval-shaped face, straight nose, large forehead and bright eyes. Though young and
attractive in appearance she’s dignified and virtuous.
She’s known to be a teacher of considerable ability. Her method of teaching differs somewhat with
that of our former teacher. Instead of explaining fully every new lesson beforehand she just gives us

assignments and let us work out ourselves. Thus her method of teaching corresponds to all of us and help
us become active in our English learning.
When teaching, she particularly pays close attention to English accent and pronunciation. She often
makes us pronounce an English word several times until it’s pronounced correctly and accurately. She
always encourages us in our English study and thanks to her devotion to teaching us, we have been
making a rapid progress.
Everyone in our class is now talking about our new English teacher who deserves our love and
respect.

II. Read the passage and then choose on answer for each of following
question.
When you are being interviewed for a job, remember that it’s normal for
many people to be nervous, particularly in such a stress-producing situation.
There are plenty of job-indeed, probably most-where a little nervousness isn’t
looked at askance. It does help to dry a damp brow or a clammy hand just
before meeting the interviewer, but otherwise, don’t be too concerned about
the outward manifestations of your nervousness. Experienced interviewers


will discount most physical signs of nervousness. The only one that people
have a hard time ignoring is a fidgety hand. Interviewees who constantly twist
their hands or make movements that are dramatically distracting are calling to

their nervousness.
Remember that interviewer as talk to people in order to hire, not because
they enjoy embarrassing uneasy applicants. One way to overcome a flustered
feeling, or “butterflies in the stomach”, is to note that interviewers want to hire
people who have something to offer the company. If interviewers think you will
fit into their organization, you will be the one who is sought after. It’s almost as

3.It can be inferred from the passage that overcoming nervous is a matter of
a. wiping your head and hands before entering the interview room.
