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.
BRINGING UP CHILDREN
Where one stage of child development has been left out, or not sufficiently experienced, the
child may have to go back and capture the experience of it. A good home makes this possible - for
example, by providing the opportunity for the child to play with a clockwork car or toy railway
train up to any age if he still needs to do so. This principle, in fact, underlies all psychological
treatment of children in difficulties with their development, and is the basic of work in child
clinics.
The beginnings of discipline are in the nursery. Even the youngest baby is taught by
gradual stages to wait for food, to sleep and wake at regular intervals and so on. If the child feels
the world around him is a warm and friendly one, he slowly accepts its rhythm and accustoms
himself to conforming to its demands. Learning to wait for things, particularly for food, is a very
important element in upbringing, and is achieved successfully only if too great demands are not
made before the child can understand them. Every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition
of each new skill: the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading

and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can
set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of anxiety in the child. This might happen at any
stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn
to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is
left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural zest for life and his
desire to find out new things for himself. Learning together is a fruitful source of relationship
between children and parents. By playing together, parents learn more about their children and
children learn more from their parents. Toys and games which both parents and children can
share are an important means of achieving this co-operation. Building-block toys, jigsaw puzzles
and crosswords are good examples.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness or indulgence towards their children.
Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over times of coming home at
night, punctuality for meals or personal cleanliness. In general, the controls imposed represent
the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness
and well-being.
With regard to the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is
very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no
foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they
are hypocritical and do not practise what they preach, their children may grow confused and
emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have
been, to some extent, deceived. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents'
ethics and their morals can be a dangerous disillusion.
Question 20: The practice of the rule "Example is better than precept"________.
A. only works when the children grow old enough to think for themselves
B. will free a child from disillusion when he grows up
C. is too difficult for all parents to exercise
D. would help avoid the necessity for ethics and morals

A. enthusiasm
B. enjoyment
C. excitement
D. appetite
Question 23: The phrase ‘conforming to’ in the 2nd paragraph means________.

C. adapting to
D. accepting
Question 24: The principle underlying all treatment of developmental difficulties in children________.
A. is to capture them before they are sufficiently experienced B. is to send them to clinics


C. is in the provision of clockwork toys and trains D. offers recapture of earlier experiences
Question 25: The encouragement of children to achieve new skills________.

C. should be focused on only at school
D. will always assist their development

Choose the best option A, B, C or D to complete the passage. Mark your choice on the answer
sheet.
No educational medium better serves as a means of spatial communication than the atlas.
Atlases deal with such invaluable information as population distribution and density. One of the
best, Pennycooke's World Atlas, has been widely accepted as a standard owing to the quality of its
maps and photographs, which not only show various settlements but also portray them in a
variety of scales. In fact, the very first map in the atlas is a cleverly designed population cartogram
that projects the size of each country if geographical size were proportional to population.
Following the proportional layout, a sequence of smaller maps shows the world's population
density, each country's birth and death rates, population increase or decrease, industrialization,
urbanization, gross national product in term of per capita income, the quality of medical care,
literacy, and language. To give readers a perspective on how their own country fits in with the
global view, additional projections depict the world's patterns in nutrition, calorie and protein
consumption, health care, number of physicians per unit of population, and life expectancy by
region. Population density maps on a subcontinental scale, as well as political maps, convey the
diverse demographic phenomena of the world in a broad array of scales.

ALTERNATIVE ENERGIES
Imagine life without electricity! What effect would that have on the typical British family?

Well, there would be no hot water for showers in the morning or, more importantly, the (44)_______
cup of tea! Most families use kettles for this - electric water boilers that sit in every British kitchen.
Then, of course, you wouldn’t be able to charge your phone, tablet or laptop. Now that’s serious!
And when you left the house, (45)_______ wouldn’t be any traffic lights, cash machines or
supermarkets. You might think that is just a horror story, but the lights might go out sooner than


we think if we don’t act soon and move to renewable energy. These are forms of energy which
protect the environment as they do not produce carbon dioxide emissions that (46)_______ to
climate change. They are often cheaper because the energy is generated from 100 percent natural
resources - so they can never run out like coal!
So what forms of renewable energy are there? Electricitycan also be provided by the wind
(wind power), the sun (solar power), the sea (tidal/wave power) and even by volcanoes
(geothermal power). The type of energy a country uses depends a lot on geography. Sunny Spain
has more solar power than the UK and volcanic Iceland has much more geothermal power.
In the UK, wind power is one of the most popular forms of renewable energy. It used to
represent only a fraction of the country’s energy supply but now it provides a mighty eleven
percent. In fact, Britain currently (47)_______ at number six in the world’s wind power producers,
with over 7,000 onshore wind turbines. And now there are almost 5,000 turbines offshore as well
(that's in the middle of the sea!), making it the world leader. Why not visit the largest offshore
wind farm in the world at the (48)_______ of the River Thames?

ALTERNATIVE ENERGIES
Imagine life without electricity! What effect would that have on the typical British family?
Well, there would be no hot water for showers in the morning or, more importantly, the (44)_______
cup of tea! Most families use kettles for this - electric water boilers that sit in every British kitchen.
Then, of course, you wouldn’t be able to charge your phone, tablet or laptop. Now that’s serious!
And when you left the house, (45)_______ wouldn’t be any traffic lights, cash machines or
supermarkets. You might think that is just a horror story, but the lights might go out sooner than

climate change. They are often cheaper because the energy is generated from 100 percent natural

(wind power), the sun (solar power), the sea (tidal/wave power) and even by volcanoes

In the UK, wind power is one of the most popular forms of renewable energy. It used to
represent only a fraction of the country’s energy supply but now it provides a mighty eleven
percent. In fact, Britain currently (47)_______ at number six in the world’s wind power producers,
with over 7,000 onshore wind turbines. And now there are almost 5,000 turbines offshore as well
(that's in the middle of the sea!), making it the world leader. Why not visit the largest offshore
wind farm in the world at the (48)_______ of the River Thames?
