Part 2: Read the passage and answer the questions:

Alice Walker has written book of poetry and short stories, a biography, and several novels. She
is probably best known for her novel The Color Purple, published in 1982. The book vividly
narrates the richness and complexity of black people – especially black women – in Georgia in
the 1920s and 1930s. Although the novel came under bitter attack by certain critics and

readers, it was applauded by others and won both the American Book Award and the Pulitzer
Prize for fiction. It became a bestseller, selling over 4 million copies, and it was made into a
successful film by noted director Steven Spielberg. The novel reveals horror, drudgery, and joy
of black life in rural Georgia. It gets much of its special flavor from its use of the words, rhythm,
and grammar of Black English and from its epistolary style. Telling a story through letters was a
narrative structure commonly used by eighteen-century novelists, but it is not often used in
contemporary fiction. Unlike most epistolary novels, which have the effect of distancing the
reader from the events described by the letter writer, The Colour Purple used the letter form to
draw the reader into absolute intimacy with the poor, uneducated, but wonderfully observant
Celia, like William Faulkner' character Dilsey, does not simply survive, but prevails.

2. When was the novel The Color Purple published?

Part 2: Read the text and answer the questions that follow (2.0 p)

Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know very about them. There are more
than 350 kinds of sharks, and all of them are meat eaters. Sharks are useful because they eat
sick fish and keep the oceans clean. Sharks do not have ears. However, they can “hear”

sounds and movements in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. Sharks
can feel these vibrations which help them find food. They also use their large eyes to find food.
Most sharks see best in dim light. They often hunt for food at dawn, in the evening, or in the
middle of the night. Scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For

example, cancer is common in many animals, especially in people. However, it is rare in sharks.

UNICEF is the driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are realized.
We have the global authority to influence decision-makers, and the variety of partners at basic
level to turn the most innovative ideas into reality. That makes us unique among world

organizations, and unique among those working with the young.

We believe that nurturing and caring for children are the cornerstones of human progress.
UNICEF was created with this purpose in mind – to work with others to overcome the obstacles
that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child's path. We believe that we
can, together, advance the cause of humanity.

We advocate for measures to give children the best start in life, because proper care at the
youngest age forms the strongest foundation for a person's future.

We promote girls' education – ensuring that they complete primary education as a minimum –
because it benefits all children, both girls and boys. Girls who are educated grow up to become
better thinkers, better citizens, and better parents to their own children.

There is no age requirement for admission to Cambridge University, although the vast majority
of undergraduates are 18 years' or older when they come into residence. All applicants will
need to demonstrate that they have the maturity and personal skills to cope with university level
study. A student who will be over 21 on commencing a course is classified as a mature student.
In previous years, the University has had minimum entrance requirements for all applicants,
known as matriculation requirements. These included the need for a qualification in English, a
language other than English, and a mathematical or scientific subject. These requirements will
be abolished from 2009 entry onwards.

Cambridge applicants are encouraged to study either four or five Advanced Subsidiary (AS)
levels in Year 12. Applicants taking four subjects will not be disadvantaged compared with
those taking five subjects. The university administration would normally expect A grades in
subjects which are particularly reI-evant to the course a student is applying for. More
challenging offers may be set to ensure that an applicant can cope with pressure and the
demands of exams.

Advanced Extension Awards (AEAs) are based on A level subject criteria and require no

additional teaching or resources. They are designed to challenge the most able students and to

provide opportunities for students to show logical and critical thinking skills and a greater depth
of understanding than required at A level.

36. "There is no age requirement for admission to Cambridge University" means that _______.

University Entrance Examination is very important for Vietnamese students. High school
graduates have to take it and get high results to be admitted to universities. The pressure on
the candidates remains very high despite the measures that have been taken to reduce the
heat around these exams, since securing a place in a state university is considered a major

disadvantaged families. In the year 2004, it was estimated that nearly 1 million Vietnamese
