Question 26 In just three months H.G Wells wrote the famous classic The Time Machine for what

In a study of aspirin's effect on blood clotting in which abstinence from chocolate was required, a large proportion of

participants broke the rules

Their "offence" led to what is believed to be the first biochemical evidence that a few squares of chocolate a day can

almost halve the risk of heart attack death by decreasing the tendency of tiny particles (or platelets) to clot in narrowblood vessels

"What these chocolate offenders taught us is that the chemical in cocoa beans has a biochemical effect similar to

aspirin in reducing platelet clumping, which can be fatal if a clot forms and blocks a blood vessel, causing a heart

attack," said Diane Becker from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, USA, who led the study.

Becker cautions that this discovery should not become an excuse to indulge in large amounts of chocolate frequently,

since chocolate also contains high amounts of sugar, butter and cream However just a few squares of dark chocolatethe purest form may be just what the doctor ordered

For almost 20 years researchers have known that chemicals, called flavonoids, most common in dark chocolate, helpblood flow and lower blood pressure

This new finding, presented at the American Heart Association's annual scientific sessions in Chicago this week,identifies the effect of everyday doses of chocolate found in regular foods such as hot chocolate or chocolate bars.This differs from previous studies which have examined the effects of eating unrealistic doses of flavonoids,equivalent to several pounds of chocolate a day

"Eating a little bit of chocolate or having a drink of hot cocoa as part of a regular diet is probably good for personalhealth, so long as people don't eat too much of it, and too much of the kind with lots of butter and sugar," said Becker

In the study, 139 chocolate offenders were disqualified from a larger experiment which aimed to examine the effects

of aspirin on blood clotting Before the study began, all participants were instructed to follow a strict exercise and dietregimen and to refrain from smoking or using foods and drinks known to affect blood-clotting activity, like caffeinateddrinks, wine, grapefruit juice and, of course, chocolate

Platelet samples from both groups (offenders and non-offenders) were run through a mechanical blood vesselsystem designed to time how long it takes for platelets to clump together Chocolate lovers' samples were found toclot more slowly, on average taking 130 seconds to block the system Platelets from those who stayed away fromchocolate clotted faster, taking an average of 123 seconds

Read the following passage adapted from MS Encarta 2008 and choose the correct answer (corresponding to A, B, C, or D) to each of the questions that follow

The work of women has been economically vital since prehistory, although their contributions have varied according

to the structure, needs, customs, and attitudes of society

In prehistoric times, women and men participated almost equally in hunting and gathering activities to obtain food With the development of agricultural communities, women's work revolved more around the home As urban centres developed, women sold or traded goods in the marketplace

From ancient to modern times, four generalizations can be made about women's paid work (1) Women have workedbecause of economic necessity; poor women in particular worked outside the home whether they were unmarried ormarried, and especially if their husbands were unable to sustain the family solely through their own work (2) Women's

indentured work has often been similar to their work at home (3) Women have maintained the primary responsibility for

raising children, regardless of their paid work (4) Women have historically been paid less than men and have beenallocated lower-status work

Some major changes are now occurring in industrial nations, including the steadily increasing proportion ofwomen in the labour force; decreasing family responsibilities (due to both smaller family size and technologicalinnovation in the home); higher levels of education for women; and more middle and upper- income womenworking for pay or for job satisfaction Statistically, they have not yet achieved parity of pay or senior appointments inthe workplace in any nation

Artisans working in their own homes not infrequently used the labour of their families This custom was so prevalent during the Middle Ages, craft guilds of the period, including some that otherwise excluded women, often admitted to membership the widows of guild members, providing they met professional requirements Dressmaking and lacemaking guilds were composed exclusively of women

Gradually, the guilds were replaced by the putting-out system, whereby tools and materials were distributed to

workers by merchants; the workers then produced articles on a piecework basis in their homes

During the 18th and early 19th centuries, as the Industrial Revolution developed, the putting-out system slowly declined.Goods that had been produced by hand in the home were manufactured by machine under the factory system Womencompeted more with men for some jobs, but were concentrated primarily in textile mills and clothing factories.Manufacturers often favoured women employees because of relevant skills and lower wages, and also because

early trade union organization tended to occur first among men Employees in sweatshops were also preponderantly

women The result was to institutionalize systems of low pay, poor working conditions, long hours, and otherabuses, which along with child labour presented some of the worst examples of worker exploitation in early industrialcapitalism Minimum wage legislation and other protective laws, when introduced, concentrated particularly on thealleviation of these abuses of working women

Women workers in business and the professions, the so-called white-collar occupations, suffered less from poorconditions of work and exploitative labour, but were denied equality of pay and opportunity The growing use of thetypewriter and the telephone after the 1870s created two new employment niches for women, as typists andtelephonists, but in both fields the result was again to institutionalize a permanent category of low-paid, low-statuswomen's work

Question 71: When the farming communities developed, women worked

A less at home B more at home C more outside D in groups

Question 72: With the development of urban centres, women

A traded cattle in the marketplace B stayed at home to take care of their children

C worked more in the marketplace D sold cloth in the marketplace

Question 73: The word "indentured" in this context may mostly means

A outside the home B in the kitchen C outside the kitchen D inside the home

Question 74: With better education and less family burden, women .

A have been respected at home and in the workplace B have enjoyed equal status in the workplace

C have not yet achieved high status in the workplace D have become more influential in their companies

Question 75: Although women cannot avoid the task of bringing up children, _

A they have to work to feed their men B they have to amuse their men

C are the mainstay of their families D they can be breadwinners as men

Question 76: The word "sweatshops" suggests .

A workshop B factory work C hard work D harmful work

Question 77: Under the "putting-out system", the workers .

A are provided with tools to produce goods at home B bought materials to manufacture goods

C provide their factories with raw materials D turn their homes into factories

Question 78: Manufacturers tended to employ women because _

A women demanded less than men B they did not have to pay for high insurance

C they could cheat them more easily D they did not have to pay high wages

Question 79: During the time of Industrial Revolution, women were dominant in _.

A sex industry B Broidery C textile industry D bakery

Question 80: What women have done for the economic development have changed over time due to .

A their role in the home B their marital status and their husbands

C the different factors of the society D the Industrial Revolution

Etymologically, anthropology is the science of humans In fact, however, it is only one of the sciences of humans, bringing together those disciplines the common aims of which are to describe human beings and explain them on the basis of the biological and cultural characteristics of the populations among which they are distributed and to emphasize, through time, the differences and variations of these populations The concept

of race, on the one hand, and that of culture, on the other, have received special attention; and although their meaning is stillsubject to debate, these terms are doubtless the most common of those in the anthropologist's vocabulary

Anthropology, which is concerned with the study of human differences, was born after the Age of

Discovery had opened up societies that had remained outside the technological civilization of the modern West In fact, the field of research was at first restricted to those societies that had been given one unsatisfactory label after another,

"savage," "primitive," "tribal," "traditional," or even "preliterate," "prehistorical," and so

on What such societies had in common, above all, was being the most "different" or the most foreign to the

anthropologist; and in the early phases of anthropology, the anthropologists were always European or North

American The distance between the researcher and the object of his study has been a characteristic of

anthropological research; it has been said of the anthropologist that he was the "astronomer of the

sciences of man."

Anthropologists today study more than just primitive societies Their research extends not only to village communities within modern societies but also to cities, even to industrial enterprises Nevertheless, anthropology's

first field of research, and the one that perhaps remains the most important, shaped its specific point of view with

regard to the other sciences of man and defined its theme If, in particular, it is concerned with generalizing aboutpatterns of human behaviour seen in all their dimensions and with achieving a total description of social and cultural phenomena, this is because anthropology has observed small-scale societies, which are simpler or at least more homogeneous than modern societies and which change at a slower pace Thus they are easier to see whole.What has just been said refers especially to the branch of anthropology concerned with the cultural characteristics of man? Anthropology has, in fact, gradually divided itself into two major spheres, the study

of man's biological characteristics and the study of his cultural characteristics The reasons for this split are

manifold, one being the rejection of the initial mistakes regarding correlations between race and culture More generally speaking, the vast field of 19th century anthropology was subdivided into a series of increasingly specialized disciplines, using their own methods and techniques, that were given different labels according to

national traditions

Question 46: According to the passage, anthropology is most likely defined as the study of

A one of the sciences of humans

because

A they also studied the sun, moon, stars, planets, etc

B they also studied our planets as the sciences of man

D they applied the sciences of man to astronomy

Question 51: According to the passage, modern anthropologists study _.

C ancient, exotic, and interesting D similar to primitive societies

Question 54: It is mentioned in the passage that the split of anthropology into two major areas is partly due to

A more knowledge to be gained

B the development of the sciences of humans

C the interpretation of race and culture

D the development of modern anthropology

Question 55: It is mentioned in the passage that anthropology began to divide into various disciplines in _.

Read the following extract from Encyclopedia Britannica and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

It may seem as if the art of music by its nature would not lend itself to the exploration and expression ofreality characteristic of Romanticism, but that is not so True, music does not tell stories or paint pictures, but itstirs feelings and evokes moods, through both of which various kinds of reality can be suggested or expressed Itwas in the rationalist 18th century that musicians rather mechanically attempted to reproduce stories and subjects in

sound These literal renderings naturally failed, and the Romanticists profited from the error Their discovery of

new realms of experience proved communicable in the first place because they were in touch with the spirit ofrenovation, particularly through poetry What Goethe meant to Beethoven and Berlioz and what German folk tales andcontemporary lyricists meant to Weber, Schumann, and Schubert are familiar to all who are acquainted with themusic of these men

There is, of course, no way to demonstrate that Beethoven's Egmont music or, indeed, its overture alone

corresponds to Goethe's drama and thereby enlarges the hearer's consciousness of it; but it cannot be an accident

or an aberration that the greatest composers of the period employed the resources of their art for the creation of

works expressly related to such lyrical and dramatic subjects Similarly, the love of nature stirred Beethoven, Weber,

and Berlioz, and here too the correspondence is feltj and persuades the fit listener that his own experience is being

expanded The words of-the creators themselves record this new comprehensiveness Beethoven referred to his activity

of mingled contemplation and composition as dichten, making a poem; and Berlioz tells in his Memoires of the

impetus given to his genius by the music of Beethoven and Weber, by the poetry of Goethe and Shakespeare, and not least by the spectacle of nature Nor did the public that ultimately understood their works gainsay their claims

It must be added that the Romantic musicians including Chopin, Mendelssohn, Glinka, and Liszt-had at their disposal greatly improved instruments The beginning' of the 19th century produced the modern piano, of greater range and dynamics than theretofore, and made all wind instruments more exact and powerful by the use of keys and valves The modern full orchestra was the result Berlioz, whose classic treatise on instrumentation and orchestration helped to

give it definitive form, was also the first to exploit its resources to the full, in the Symphonic fantastique of 1830 This

work, besides its technical significance just mentioned, can also be regarded as uniting the characteristics of

Romanticism in music, it is both lyrical and dramatic, and, although it makes use of a “story,” that use is not to describe the scenes but to connect them; its slow movement is a "nature poem" in the Beethovenian manner; the second, fourth, and fifth movements include "realistic" detail of the most vivid kind; and the opening one is an introspective reverie
