Question 2: A bought B caught C ought D laughed

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word or phrase that is CLOSEST in meaning to the underlined part in each of the following questions

Question 3: The news should be put in the most noticeable place so that all the students can be

Question 5: I told her I understood what she was feeling as we were both after all in the same

boat

A in a similar take B in a similar find C in a similar situationD in a similar case

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

Let children learn to judge their own work A child learning to talk does not learn by being

corrected all the time If corrected too much, he will stop talking He notices a thousand times a

day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to do without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle,

ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly

make the needed changes But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them We do it all for him We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to Soon

he becomes dependent on the teacher Let him do it himself Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this

is a good way of saying or doing this or not

If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book Let him correct his own papers Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know

Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school

and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential,

something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it

Question 6: What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?

A By listening to explanations from skilled people

B By making mistakes and having them corrected

C By asking a great many questions

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

The concept of obtaining fresh water from iceberg that is towed to populated areas and

arid regions of the world was once treated as a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real life

But now it is being considered quite seriously by many nations, especially since scientists have

warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out of food

Glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that has been overlooked until recently (A)

Three-quarters of the Earth's fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice, a reservoir

of untapped fresh water so immense that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for 1,000 years Floating on the oceans every year are 7,659 trillion metric tons of ice encased in 10,000 icebergs that break away from the polar ice caps, more than ninety percent of them from

Antarctica (B)

Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs throughout the year Icebergs are not like sea ice, which is formed when the sea itself freezes; rather, they are formed entirely on land, breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea As they drift away from the polar region, icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a direction opposite to

the wind, pulled by subsurface currents Because they melt more slowly than smaller pieces of

ice, icebergs have been known to drift as far north as 35 degrees south of the equator in the

Atlantic Ocean (C)

The difficulty arises in other technical matters, such as the prevention of rapid melting

in warmer climates and the funneling of fresh water to shore in great volume But even if the icebergs lost half of their volume in towing, the water they could provide would be far

cheaper than that produced by desalination, or removing salt from water (D)

Question 43: What is the main topic of the passage?

A The movement of glaciers B Icebergs as a source of fresh water

C Future water shortages D The future of the world's rivers

Question 44: The word “arid” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to

A anhydrous B fruitful C remote D distant

Question 45: The word "it" in the first paragraph refers to

A an iceberg that is towed B obtaining fresh water from icebergs

C the population of arid areas D real life

Question 46: According to the author, most of the world's fresh water is to be found in

A oceans B rivers C glaciers D reservoirs

Question 47: The word “currents” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _

A pulls B waves C weather D flows of water

Question 48: How are icebergs formed?

A They break off from glaciers B Seawater freezes

C Rivers freeze D Small pieces of floating ice converge

Question 49: With which of the following ideas would the author be likely to agree?

A Towing icebergs to dry areas is economically possible

B Desalination of water is the best way to obtain drinking water

C Using water from icebergs is a very short-term solution to water shortages

D Icebergs could not be towed very far before they would melt

Question 50: Which is the best place where the following sentence will most properly fit?

"To corral them and steer them to parts of the world where they are needed would not

be too difficult."

A (A) B (B) C (C) D (D)

Question 51: The word "that" in the last paragraph refers to _

A the volume B the water C the iceberg D the towing

Question 52: What are the technical matters mentioned as the difficulty arising in the process of obtaining fresh water from the iceberg?

A The prevention of rapid melting iceberg

B The filtering water and the funneling it to shore in a large amount

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 following questions

American humor and American popular heroes were born together The first popular heroes of the new nation were comic heroes, and the first popular humor of the new nation was the antics of its hero-clowns

The heroic and the comic were combined in novel American proportions in popular literature The heroic themes are obvious enough and not much different from those in the legends of other times and places: Achilles, Beowulf, Siegfried, Roland, and King Arthur The American Davy Crockett legends repeat the familiar pattern of the old world heroic story: the pre-eminence of a mighty hero whose fame in myth has a tenuous basis in fact; the remarkable birth and precocious strength of the hero; single combats

in which he distinguished himself against antagonists, both man and beast; vows and boasts; pride of the

hero in his weapons, his dog, and his woman

Davy Crockett conquered man and beast with a swaggering nonchalance He overcame animals by force of body and will He killed four wolves at the age of six He hugged a bear to death; he killed a rattlesnake with his teeth He mastered the forces of nature Crockett’s most famous natural exploit was saving the earth on the coldest day in history First, he climbed a mountain to determine the trouble Then

he rescued all creation by squeezing bear-grease on the earth’s frozen axis and over the sun’s icy face He whistled, “Push along, keep moving!” The earth gave a grunt and began moving

Neither the fearlessness nor the bold huntsman’s prowess was peculiarly American Far more

distinctive was the comic quality, all heroes are heroic; few are also clowns What made the American popular hero heroic also made him comic “May be”, said Crockett, “you’ll laugh at me and not at my book” The ambiguity of American life and the vagueness which laid the continent open to adventure, which made the land a rich storehouse of the unexpected, which kept vocabulary ungoverned and the

language fluid this same ambiguity suffused both the Crockett legends were never quite certain whether

to laugh or to applaud, or whether what they saw and heard was wonderful, awful or ridiculous

Question 6: What is the main point the author makes in the passage?

A Davy Crockett wrote humorous stories about mastering the nature

B American popular heroes were characteristically comic

C The Davy Crockett stories reflected the adventurous spirit of early America

D American popular literature was based on the legends of other times and places

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 following questions

The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in

one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood

The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was

still extremely abundant

The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated Wood was a foundation of the economy Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown

in Britain Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking Thirdly, it was used as the source of

important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder;

and tannic acid, used for tanning leather

The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well Iron at that time was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not

follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron Coke

smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron

Question 48: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The advantages of using wood in the colonies

B The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies

C The roots of the Industrial Revolution

D The difference between charcoal iron and coke iron

Question 49: The word strikingly in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to

A realistically B dramatically C completely D immediately

Question 50: Which of the following is a common assumption about the forests of North America during

the colonial period?

A They contained only a few types of trees

B They existed only along the Atlantic seaboard

C They had little or no economic value

D They covered the entire continent

Question 51: The word “abundant” in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to _

A redundant B sufficient C insufficient D plentiful
