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

Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their name from the Japanese expression for “high water in a harbor.” These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides Scientists often referred to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from undersea seismic activity

Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or

volcano for example, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced This sudden shift of water

sets off a series of waves These waves can travel great distances at speeds close to 700 kilometers per hour

In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more than one or two meters It is when they hit the shallow waters near the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 meters

Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity Two areas

of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis are Japan and Hawaii Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often come with little warning and can, therefore, prove disastrous Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however, originate thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis

have a much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for warning of their

imminent arrival

Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the

Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon The greatest tsunami on record

occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel

Question 36: The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses _

A tides B storm surges C tidal waves D underwater earthquakes

Question 37: According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves EXCEPT that _

A they are caused by sudden changes in high and low tides

B this terminology is not used by the scientific community

C they are the same as tsunamis

D they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves

Question 38: The word “displaced” in line 6 is closest in meaning to _

A not pleased B located C moved D filtered

Question 39: It can be inferred from the passage that tsunamis

A are often identified by ships on the ocean

B generally reach heights greater than 40 meters

C are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean

D cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean

Question 40: A main difference between tsunamis in Japan and in Hawaii is that tsunamis in Japan are more

likely to _

A come from greater distances B originate in Alaska

C arrive without warning D be less of a problem

Question 41: The possessive “their” in line 16 refers to _

A the Hawaiian Islands B these tsunamis

C thousands of miles D the inhabitants of Hawaii

Question 42: From the expression “on record” in line 19, it can be inferred that the tsunami that accompanied

the Krakatoa volcano _

A was filmed as it was happening B occurred before efficient records were kept

C was not as strong as the tsunami in Lisbon D might not be the greatest tsunami ever

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

Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial, language It was created more than a century ago by

Polish eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof Zamenhof believed that a common language would help to

alleviate some of the misunderstandings among cultures

In Zamenhof’s first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as uncomplicated

as possible This first language included words such as ab, ac, ba, eb, be, and ce This did not result in a

workable language in that these monosyllabic words, though short, were not easy to understand or to retain Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language He made the words in his language sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar tremendously One

example of how he simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this language end in o, as

in the noun amiko, which means “friend”, and all adjectives end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means

“pretty” Another example of the simplified language can be seen in the prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word malamiko therefore means “enemy”, and the word malbela therefore means

“ugly” in Zamenhof’s language

In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it He used a pen name, Dr Esperanto, when signing the book He selected the name Esperanto because this word means “a person who

hopes” in his language Esperanto clubs began popping up throughout Europe, and by 1950, Esperanto had

spread from Europe to America and Asia

In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximately700 attendees from 20 different countries Congresses were held annually for nine years, and 4,000 attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914, when World War I erupted and forced its cancellation

Esperanto has had its ups and downs in the period since World War I Today, years after it was

introduced, it is estimated that perhaps a quarter of a million people are fluent in it This may seem like a large number, but it is really quite small when compared with the billion English speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in today’s world Current advocates would like to see its use grow considerably and are taking steps to try to make this happen

Question 43: The topic of this passage is

A a language developed in the last few years B one man’s efforts to create a universal language

C using language to communicate internationally D how language can be improve

Question 44: According to the passage, Zamenhof wanted to create a universal language

A to provide a more complex language B to create one world culture

C to resolve cultural differences D to build a name for himself

Question 45: It can be inferred from the passage that the Esperanto word malespera means

A hopelessness B hopeless C hope D hopeful

Question 46: The expression “popping up” in line 17 could best be replaced by

A hiding B shouting C leaping D opening

Question 47: The expression “ups and downs” in line 23 is closest in meaning to

A takeoffs and landings B floors and ceilings

C highs and lows D tops and bottoms

Question 48: Which paragraph describes the predecessor to Esperanto?

A The first paragraph B The second paragraph

C The third paragraph D The fourth paragraph

Question 49: The passage would most likely be assigned reading in a course on

A applied linguistics B European history C English grammar D world government

Question 50: The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses

A another of Zamenhof’s accomplishments

B attempts to reconvene the World Congress of Esperanto in the 1920s

C the disadvantages of using an artificial language

D how current supporters of Esperanto are encouraging its growth
