Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer.

History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927 But sound films, or

talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings From the earliest public performances in

1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called "synchronized sound" – began soon after the very first films were shown With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector

changed This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.

In the "sound-on-film" system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by

an optical sensor These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing

synchronization Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922 This system eventually brought us "talking pictures"

A got out of synchronization with the picture.

B were newly invented and still had imperfections.

C were too large for most movie theaters.

D changed speeds when the needle jumped.

Question 62: The word "sequence" is closest in meaning to _

Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, propane Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available

Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers

that would have facilities for charging and renting Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars

to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for

longer trips, which is no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times number of vehicles that can be carried by a freeway today

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 from number 21 to 30

Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial

problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare And since man’s

inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend

that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop

Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its

desiccating effects No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there Few large animals are found The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest Its population is

largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not emaciated Having

adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word

The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes So

most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to

hunt only by night The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees

A sources of flowing water are rare in a desert

B water is an essential part of his existence

C water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things

D very few large animals are found in the desert

Question 24: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _

A water-loving animals B the coyote and the bobcat

C moist-skinned animals D many large animals

Question 25: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _

A are smaller and fleeter than forest animals

B live in an accommodating environment

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 from number 31 to 35

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, they 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, exam, 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 31: What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?

A by copying what other people do

B by making mistakes and having them corrected

C by listening to explanations from skilled people

D by asking a great many questions

Question 32: What does the author think teachers do which they should not do?

A They give children correct answers

B They point out children’s mistakes to them

C They allow children to mark their own work

D They encourage children to copy from one another

Question 33: The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are

A not really important skills

B more important than other skills

C basically different from learning adult skills

D basically the same as learning other skills

Question 34: Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because children’s progress should only be estimated by
