In early civilization, citizens were educated informally, usually within the family unit Education meant simply learning to live As civilization became more complex, however, education became more formal, structured, and comprehensive Initial efforts of the ancient Chinese and Greek societies

concentrated solely on the education of males The post-Babylonian Jews and Plato were exceptions to this pattern Plato was apparently the first significant advocate of the equality of the sexes Women, in his ideal state, would have the same rights and duties and the same educational opportunities as men This aspect of Platonic philosophy, however, had little or no effect on education for many centuries, and the concept of a liberal education for men only, which had been espoused by Aristotle, prevailed

In ancient Rome, the availability of an education was gradually extended to women, but they were taught separately from men The early Christians and medieval Europeans continued this trend, and

4

single-sex schools for the privileged through classes prevailed through the Reformation period Gradually, however, education for women, in a separate but equal basis to that provided for men, was becoming a clear responsibility of society Martin Luther appealed for civil support of schools for all children Al the Council of Trent in the 16th century, the Roman Catholic Church encouraged the establishment of free primary schools for children of all classes The concept of universal primary education, regardless of sex, had been born, but it was still in the realm of the single-sex school

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, co-education became a more widely applied principle of

educational philosophy In Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union the education of boys and girls in the same classes became an accepted practice Since World War II, Japan and the Scandinavian countries have also adopted relatively universal co-educational systems The greatest negative reaction to co-education has been felt in the teaching systems of the Latin countries, where the sexes have usually been separated at both primary and secondary levels, according to local conditions

A number of studies have indicated that girls seem to perform better overall and in science in particular In single-sex classes, during the adolescent years, pressure to conform to stereotypical female gender roles may disadvantage girls in traditionally male subjects, making them reluctant to volunteer for experimental work while taking part in lessons In Britain, academic league tables point to high standards achieved in girls’ schools Some educationalists, therefore, suggest segregation of the sexes as a good thing,

particularly in certain areas, and a number of schools are experimenting with the idea

Question 36: Ancient education generally focused its efforts on

A young people only B on male learners C both sexes D female learners

Question 37: Education in early times was mostly aimed at

A teaching skills B learning new lifestyles

Question 38: The first to support the equality of the sexes was

Question 39: The word “informally” in this context mostly refers to an education occurring

A in a department B in classrooms C ability D outside the school

Question 40: When education first reached women, they were

C deprived of opportunities D isolated from a normal life

Question 41: When the concept of universal primary education was introduced, education

A was intended for all the sexes B was given free to all

C was intended to leave out female learners D focused on imparting skills

Question 42: Co-education was negatively responded to in

C South American countries D the Scandinavian countries

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 43 to 50

Noise is unwanted sound and is among the most pervasive pollutants today Noise from road traffic, jet planes, jet skis, garbage trucks, construction equipment, manufacturing processes, lawn

mowers, leaf blowers, and boom boxes, to name a few, are among the unwanted sounds that are routinely broadcast into the air

The problem with noise is not only that it is unwanted, but also that it negatively affects human health and well-being Problems related to noise include hearing loss, stress, high blood pressure, sleep loss, distraction and lost productivity, and a general reduction in the quality of life and opportunities for tranquillity

5

We experience noise in a number of ways On some occasions, we can be both the cause and the victim of noise, such as when we are operating noisy appliances or equipment There are also instances when we experience noise generated by others just as people experience second-hand smoke While in both instances, noises are equally damaging, second-hand noise is more troubling because it

has negative impacts on us but is put into the environment by others, without our consent

The air into which second-hand noise is emitted and on which it travels is a “commons”, a public

good It belongs to no one person or group, but to everyone People, businesses, and organizations,

therefore, do not have unlimited rights to broadcast noise as they please, as if the effects of noise were limited only to their private property On the contrary, they have an obligation to use the commons in ways that are compatible with or do not detract from other uses

People, businesses, and organizations that disregard the obligation to not interfere with others' use

and enjoyment of the commons by producing noise pollution are, in many ways, acting like a bully in a school yard Although perhaps unknowingly, they nevertheless disregard the rights of others and claim for themselves rights that are not theirs

We have organized to raise awareness of noise pollution and help communities take back the commons from those acting like bullies Our efforts include building a library of resources and tools concerning noise pollution, establishing links to other groups that have similar collections, establishing networks among local noise activists, assisting communities and activists who are working to reduce noise

pollution, and monitoring and advocating for stronger noise controls

Question 43: It is stated in the passage that all of the following are things the noise comes from EXCEPT

C Road traffic, garbage trucks D Jet planes, watercraft

Question 44: It can be inferred from the passage that the effects of noise pollution on the human body are

that

A people get accustomed to ear and heart diseases B people focus mainly on hearing

C people are sensitive about everything around D people have difficulty falling asleep

Question 45: The word “negative” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to

Question 46: Which of the following is supposed to be way to reduce noise pollution?

A cooperation with other noise activists

B fining people who break laws in noise regulation

C construction of large projects along roads

D prohibiting public transport during peak hours

Question 47: The word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to

A second-hand noise B a public good C effect of noise D the air

Question 48: The word “disregard” in paragraph 5 could be best replaced by which of the following?

Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A Noise that is experienced by people who did not produce it is called second-hand noise

B People’s enjoyment of the commons by producing noise pollution is regarded as a bully

C Noise is one of the most common contaminants nowadays

D People intentionally make noise when they work

Question 50: Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in the passage?

Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18

The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young

people of his age is finding a job David's firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each month

But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money.Despite his salary, earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and profit-sharing, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, or obtain credit cards

He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver His company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive

David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop "I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs," he said

"I suppose £35,000 sounds a lot but actually that's being pessimistic I hope it will come to more than that this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother £20 a week But most his spare time is spent working

"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said "But I had been studying it in books and 'magazines for four years in my spare time I knew what I wanted

to do and never considered staying on at school Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway."

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 41 to 50

Sleep is a natural process, and although a lot have been written about the subject, it is still surrounded by mystery It is used by some as an escape from the world, and regarded by

others as an irritating waste of time: some people get by on very little, others claim they

cannot exist without at least ten hours, but nobody can do without sleep completely

Our night’s sleep does not just consist of a steady phase of gradually deepening sleep It

alternates between two stages: Non-dreaming or ordinary sleep, and REM (rapid eye

movement) or dreaming sleep As soon as we fall asleep, we go straight into non-dreaming sleep for an hour or so, then into REM sleep for about 15 minutes, then back into non-

dreaming sleep It alternates in this way for the rest of the night, with non-dreaming sleep tending to last longer at the beginning of the night Non-dreaming sleep occupies three-

quarters of our night’s sleep, about a quarter of it deep and the rest fairly light

It is widely believed that sleep repairs the body and makes good the damage caused by being awake However, its main function is to refresh the brain Experts believe that probably only about two-thirds of our sleep is necessary for repairing and refreshing the brain, with the most valuable sleep coming in the first few hours of the non-dreaming period, the last few hours of sleep are not so essential The brain can manage quite well with reduced sleep as long as it is uninterrupted sleep

The quality of sleep is important A study conducted in the USA looked at short

sleepers, who slept for 5.5 hours on average, and long sleepers, who had 8.5 hours or more It

is discovered after a variety of tests that the long sleepers were poor sleepers, had twice as much REM sleep as the short sleepers, appeared to sleep longer to make up for poor sleep, and did not wake up in the morning refreshed Similarly, people who sleep deeply do not necessarily get a better quality of sleep than shallow sleepers Deep sleepers can feel tired the following day, so six hours of good sleep is worth more than eight hours of troubled sleep (From Awakening to Sleep – American Psychological Association)

Question 41: It can be concluded from the first paragraph that ………

A people need equal time of sleep B sleep remains a puzzle

C sleep is among the processes of the nature

D everything about sleep has been brought to light

Question 42: The word “irritating” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ………

A calming B soothing C annoying D comforting

Question 43: All the following statements are true, EXCEPT for ………

A our night’s sleep occurs in a straight line of only two phases

B all sleeps are similar in the alternatives of the two stages during the night

C we spend only 25 percent of our night’s sleeping time dreaming

D we often have no dreams right after we fall asleep

Question 44: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to ………

A our night’s sleep B the ordinary sleep C the REM D the night

Question 45 The word “occupies” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by …………

A accounts for B takes care of C works out D goes up

Question 46: Unlike the common belief, sleep helps ………

A not to be awake C us to fix the damage happening by day

B us to repair our body D our brain to rest and recover

Question 47: The study discussed in the reading passage suggests that …………

A the fewer hours we sleep, the more we dream B deep sleep means better sleep

C the type of sleep is more important than its length

D six hours of sleep is better than eight hours

Question 48: Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage?

A The role of the sleep B Sleepless people’s problems

C Types of sleep D The circle of a sleep

Question 49: It can be inferred from the reading passage that ………

A if we can sleep uninterruptedly, it is not necessary to sleep the whole night

B REM makes good our brain

C nearly 70 % of our sleep is invaluable

D dream enables our body to refresh when we can sleep uninterruptedly

Question 50: This passage is the most likely taken from ………

A a doctor’s description B a health magazine

C an advertisement D a fashion magazine
