 Scientists know that there were wolves on Earth about one million years ago. Dogs, on the
other hand, have not been on Earth nearly as long. The oldest dog remains, found in Germany, are
about 14,000 years old. Scientists have proven that dogs are descended from wolves. Though wolves
and dogs share some of the same genes, they are not exactly alike. In fact, there are as many
differences as there are similarities between the two. 
First, there are physical differences between the two. Wolves have longer legs, larger feet,
and a broader skull than dogs. They also walk differently from dogs. A wolf runs on its toes with its
heels raised up from the ground. This is more similar to a cat's walk than a dog's. 
Second, there are mental differences between the two. Dogs have been domesticated. This
means that dogs have been brought under the control of humans in order to provide companionship.
Wolves have not been domesticated. They are wild animals. Having a dog as a pet is like having a
juvenile wolf. A young wolf will turn into a mature adult, while a young dog does not mature. A dog
might seem smart by performing tricks for people. Wolves need to be smart to survive in the wild.
While it may not be impossible to have a wolf as a pet, scientists are of the opinion that a wolf could
never be domesticated in the same way as a dog. 
It's important to keep in mind that the differences between the two are great, and each should
be appreciated in its own habitat or home.

C. the similarities between the wolf and the dog 
D. the way to distinguish between a wolf and a dog
Question 34. The word “they” in paragraph 1 refers to_________.

A. Dogs provide human beings with companionship.
B. A dog might be smart enough to perform tricks.
C. A dog walks the same way as a young wolf does.
D. Dog shares some genes with those of wolves.
Question 36. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned about the wolf?

B. Wolves have better genes than dogs, so they are stronger.
C. Wolves could not be domesticated the way dogs have been.

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. 
Employees in many countries change jobs more often than previous generations of workers.
They don't expect to find a job with a company that will take care of them for the rest of their lives.
But what is the cause of this trend? Is it a new economy, new ways of doing business, or the
employees themselves? 
A more globalized economy has had an effect on employment. A large number of companies
are now international, and one of them may decide that moving from its offices from Germany to
Poland, for example, is in its best interest. That means employees who live and work in Germany may
be asked to relocate their families to a new country or be told that their jobs are simply eliminated. 

3|Page
 Companies have also responded to economic pressure by restructuring for greater efficiency.
This sort of change within a company usually means that unnecessary jobs are cut, or that fewer
employees must do more work. In their case, some employees find themselves looking for new jobs. 

New technology has also had an impact on workplaces. The increasing use of personal
computers has meant fewer jobs for office secretaries, as their former bosses do their own words
processing and letter writing, and for travel agents, as more travelers make their own reservations
online. Automation, including the use of robotic devices, has replaced workers in clothing factories,
post offices, and telephone companies, to name just a few. 
Besides these economic and technological reasons, today's employees are also responsible for
more frequent job changes. Workers in the past were less likely to leave a company because they
were dissatisfied with working conditions or because they didn't get along well with their fellow
employees. People today expect to enjoy their work and have personal satisfaction from what they
do for a living. 
Employees may also leave a job because they have learned all they can learn from their
current job. Getting a new job means gaining new skills and making new contracts, and these skills
and relationships could bring them a step closer to their “dream job”, the one that is challenging,
emotionally and financially rewarding, and preferably closer to home or their children's school. 
Finally, companies start up and close down more quickly than they once did. Employees who
suspect that their employer is not doing well may decide to start looking for a new position before
the company closes its doors.

Tsunami is a Japanese word which means harbour wave and is used as the scientific term for
seismic sea wave generated by an undersea earthquake or possibly an undersea landside or volcanic
eruption, when the ocean floor is tilted or offset during an earthquake, a set of waves is created
similar to the concentric waves generated by an object dropped into the water. Most tsunamis
originate along the Ring of Fire, a zone of volcanoes and seismic activity, 32,500 km long that
encircles the Pacific Ocean.
Since 1819, about 40 tsunamis have struck the Hawaiian Islands. A tsunami can have
wavelengths, or widths, of 100 to 200 km, and may travel hundreds of kilometers across the deep
ocean, reaching speeds of about 725 to 800 kilometres an hour. Upon entering shallow coastal
waters, the wave, which may have been only about half a metre high out at sea, suddenly grows
rapidly. When the wave reaches the shore, it maybe 15 m high or more. Tsunamis have tremendous
energy because of the great volume of water affected. They are capable of obliterating coastal
settlements.
Tsunamis should not be confused with storm surges, which are domes of water that rise
underneath hurricanes or cyclones and cause extensive coastal flooding when the storms reach land.
Storm surges are particularly devastating if they occur at high tide. A cyclone and accompanying
storm surge skilled an estimated 500,000 people in Bangladesh in 1970. The tsunami which struck
south and southeast Asia in late 2004 killed over 200 thousand people.

 A. wavy B. having many centres
C. having a common centre D. a ring
Question 31. what is the greatest speed of tsunami travelling across the deep ocean?
A. 200 kilometres an hour B. 700 kilometres an hour
C. 800 kilometres an hour D. 150,000 kilometres an hour
Question 32. How are tsunami capable of obliterating coastal settlements?
A. They have tremendous energy due to the great volume of water affected.
B. They are a metre high or more.
C. They travel hundreds of kilometres
D. They can strike the shore fifteen metres high
Question 33. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Tsunami only occurs in Asia
B. A cyclone along with storm surges happened in Asia in 1970.
C. Storm surges are domes of water rising underneath hurricanes or cyclones.
D. Storm surges cause extensive coastal flooding.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the
question.
Carnegie Hall, the famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a restoration.
While this is not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building’s history. As a result of
this new restoration, Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound that it had when it was first
built. Carnegie Hall owes its existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel company in
the late 1800s. The hall was finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent
performing arts hall where accomplished musicians gained fame. Despite its reputation, however,
the concert hall suffered from several detrimental renovations over the years. During the Great
Depression, when fewer people could afford to attend performances, the directors sold part of the
building to commercial businesses. As a result, a coffee shop was opened in one corner of the
building, for which the builders replaced the brick and terra cotta walls with windowpanes. A
renovation in 1946 seriously damaged the acoustical quality of the hall when the makers of the film
Carnegie Hall cut a gaping hole in the dome of the ceiling to allow for lights and air vents. The hole
was later covered with short curtains and a fake ceiling but the hall never sounded the same
afterwards.
In 1960, the violinist Isaac Stern became involved in restoring the hall after a group of real
estate developers unveiled plans to demolish Carnegie Hall and build a high-rise office building on
the site.
This threat spurred Stern to rally public support for Carnegie Hall and encourage the City of
New York to buy the property. The movement was successful, and the concert hall is now owned by
the city. In the current restoration, builders tested each new material for its sound qualities, and they
replaced the hole in the ceiling with a dome. The builders also restored the outer walls to their
original appearance and closed the coffee shop. Carnegie has never sounded better, and its prospects
for the future have never looked more promising.
