Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech
Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit Coded to refer to speech, the
potential for communication is really great Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves
A stop sign or barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions In some culture, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval Gestures such as waving and handshaking also convey certain cultural messages
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling Education knows no bounds It can take place anywhere, whether
in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises A
chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions People are engaged in education
in infancy Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar
textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subjects being taught For example, high
school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling

Question 23: A actually B truly C essentially D accurately
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four
kilometers of ice Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica The lake
is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific community because of the potential
that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear
fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer Perhaps the most
striking quality of satiric literature is its freshness and its originality of perspective Satire itself, however, rarely offers original ideas Instead, it presents the familiar in a new form Satirists do not offer the world new philosophies What they do is look at familiar conditions from a perspective that makes these conditions seem foolish, harmful, or affected Satire jars us out of complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values we unquestioningly accept are false
Don Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd; Brave New World ridicules the pretensions of science; A Modest Proposal dramatizes starvation
by advocating cannibalism None of these ideas is original Chivalry was suspect before Cervantes, humanists objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous Huxley, and people were aware of famine before Swift
It was not the originality of the idea that made these satires popular It was the manner of expression, the satiric method, that made them interesting and entertaining Satires are read because they are aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are morally wholesome
or ethically instructive They are stimulating and refreshing because with commonsense briskness they brush away illusions and secondhand opinions With spontaneous irreverence, satire rearranges perspectives, scrambles familiar objects into incongruous juxtaposition, and speaks in a personal idiom instead of abstract platitude
Satire exists because there is need for it It has lived because readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus, an irreverent reminder that they live
in a world of platitudinous thinking, cheap moralizing, and foolish philosophy Satire serves to prod people into an awareness of truth, though rarely to any action on behalf of truth Satire tends to remind people that much of what they see, hear, and read in popular media is
sanctimonious, sentimental, and only partially true Life resembles in only a slight degree the popular image of it.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer Since the world
became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300 By the year 2025, their population is estimated to be down to zero
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification This is an example of the callousness
that is contributing to the problem of extinction Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts
of the world’s ecosystem International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem,
have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the
parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed
