Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer

The first system of communication of animals is natural Many kinds of animals have ways of communicating with each other And one of the most interesting examples is that of bees These insects communicate with each other by dancing The most

important kind of dance that they do is concerned with food They

get their food from flowers, of course, from plants and trees When

a bee has found some food, it returns to the other bees and can give them three basic kinds of information about the food: which direction it is in, whether it is nearby or a long way away, and whether it is good to eat or poisonous

The other kind of system of communication of animals is artificial It means animals learn it; in this case, they learn from man Several famous experiments have been carried out with chimpanzees, trying to teach them human language

One of these experiments was done with a chimpanzee called Sarah Sarah was taught to understand a system of symbols which represented words The symbols were cut out of coloured plastic, and each different shape stood for a different word For example, a red square stood for “banana”, Sarah’s favorite fruit Soon Sarah could not only understand words, but even sentences She could obey orders: if her human friends put down the symbols for “apple

in cup”, she would put the apple in the cup Later, she began giving the scientists orders – she was writing her own sentences, and she got upset if the scientists did not obey her We do not yet know whether chimpanzees will ever learn to use language to communicate as freely as human beings do, but the results so far suggest that this is at least a possibility

Read the passage below Then choose one best answer (A), (B), (C) or (D) to each question

British society is considered to be divided into three main groups of classes - the upper class, the middle class, and the lower

or working class This is known as the class system and it is important to know something about it, if you mean to understand British people and society Most British people grow up with a deep knowledge and understanding of the class system even if they are not very conscious of it As a result, more people know which class they belong to and are able to tell which class other people come from by the way they speak, the kind of clothes they wear, their interests and hobbies or even the type of food they eat

Social class is not only about behaviour and attitudes For example, although many upper-class people are rich and may own a lot of land, having a lot of money does not necessarily make a person one member of the upper class It is also important to come from a particular kind of family, have friends who are considered

with the right kind of accent There are people who are poor but do not think of themselves as working class because their family background, education, political opinions, etc are basically different from those of most working-class people Many people do not like the class system but it is impossible to pretend that these differences do not exist or that British people do not sometimes form opinions in this way

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer

Almost every language in the world has dialects and American English is no exception At the present time there is an interesting study which is on American speech habits This study has shown that different words are frequently used in different parts of the country to denote the same thing For example, in the east, Americans use the word "soda" to denote a soft drink In some parts of the west, a soft drink is "tonic" Such differences are usually a source of conversation and sometimes misunderstanding happens

Speech and life all over the world have often changed New words are being used when new discoveries are made and new concepts are formed Usage determines what is correct and what is incorrect Fifty years ago, it was incorrect to say "It's me." But today it is acceptable simply because most Americans say that instead of "It's I." People change, so language changes What is wrong today may be right tomorrow
