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 1 to 8

Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has been Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power It was used

to drive engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways From the powerful voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work in a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat the huge mass of molten metal in a furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned In Australia, they use coal or water to drive this machinery When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always fear of an accident A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the environment

They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays Most importantly, they hope to

by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels

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 44 to 50.

Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the

term broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it It is directly related to cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same

verbal complex A person of culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of

and interest in the arts, literature, and music Yet the word culture does not refer solely to

such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education At least from the 19th century

onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come

to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values

Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global cultures Distinctions have been drawn too between

culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the

soil, but from the city The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous Yet this is misleading While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to

be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word culture has been strongly influenced

by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the 20th century

Cultures evolve or develop They are not static They have twists and turns Styles change.

So do fashions There are cultural processes What, for example, the word cultured means has

changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university education No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture As cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized

The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define There is no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made

to establish one The only non-problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture) Since in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of reference is extremely wide

Question 44: According to the passage, the word culture .

A is related to the preparation and use of land for farming

B develops from Greek and Roman literature and history

C derives from the same root as civilization does

D comes from a source that has not been identified.

Question 45: It is stated in paragraph 1 that a cultured person _.

A has a job related to cultivation B does a job relevant to education

C takes care of the soil and what grows on it D has knowledge of arts, literature, and music Question 46: The author remarks that culture and civilization are the two words that _.

A are both related to agriculture and cultivation

B share the same word formation pattern

C do not develop from the same meaning D have nearly the same meaning

Question 47: It can be inferred from the passage that since the 20th century .

A classical literature, philosophy, and history have not been taught as core subjects

B classical literature, philosophy, and history have been considered as core subjects

C schools and universities have not taught classical literature, philosophy, and history

D all schools and universities have taught classical literature, philosophy, and history Question 48: The word “attributes” in paragraph 1 most likely means .

Question 49: The word “static” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by “ _”.

Question 50: Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?

A The word culture can be used to refer to a whole way of life of people.

B The use of the word culture has been changed since the 19th century.

C Anthropology and sociology have tried to limit the references to culture.

D Distinctions have been drawn between culture and civilization
