Direction: In this section you will read several passages. Each one is followed by several questions
about it. For this section, you are to choose the one best answer, (A), (B), (C), or (D), to each question.
Then, on your answer grid, find the number of the question and fill in the space that corresponds to the
letter of the answer you have chosen.

Answer all the questions following a passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage.

Read the following passage.


The best-known theory of galactic evolution is the one originated in the 1920s by Edwin P. Hubble.
According to this theory, a galaxy begins as a vast accumulation of (5) gases, chiefly hydrogen and
helium, rotating about a central point. Thanks to the mutual gravitational attraction of matter, this
"protogalaxy" slowly condenses into millions or, more often, billions of stars, (10) collected in a gigantic,
roughly spherical cloud.

A. cultivated
B. begun
C. declared
D. proposed

Based on the reading passage originated in the first line has a meaning as “begun”, So, you should
answer “B”.

Questions 1 - 10 refer to the following reading passage

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 a signal is to interrupt upon the environment in such
a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of telegraph circuit.

(6) Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the
codification of words, sings also contain meaning in and of themselves. A top sign or a barber
pole conveys meaning quickly and conventionally. Symbols are more difficult to describe than
either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver's cultural
perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an

(11) auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate
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

(16) distances and extended periods are based upon speech. Radio, television and the telephone
are only a few.

1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Communication
B. Gestures
C. Signs and signals
D. Speech
2. Applauding was cited as an example of _____
A. a signal
B. a sign
C. a symbol
D. a gesture
3. According to the passage, what is signal?
A. A difficult form of communication
B. That interrupts the environment
C. That is used across long distance
D. Related to cultural perceptions
4. The underlined word 'interrupt' is closest in meaning to ?
A. inference
B. improve
C. vary
D. prohibit
5. The word 'it' in line 4 refers to –
A. function
B. way
C. environment
D. signal
6. The word 'potential' in line 6 could be best replaced by-
A. range
B. possibility
C. organization
D. advantage
7. The word 'intricate' in line 9 could be best replaced by-
A. complicated
B. inefficient
C. historical
D. way
8. What does the author say about speech?
A. It is only true for communication
B. It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors
C. It is the most advanced form of communication
D. It is necessary to occur
9. Why were the telephone, radio and TV invented?
A. Lack of understanding signs, symbols and gestures
B. For new form of entertainment
C. Signs, symbols and signals became obsolete
D. For communicating across long distances
10. It may be concluded from the passage that-
A. symbols are very easy to define and interpret
B. signs, signals, symbol and gestures are forms of communication
C. only some cultures have signals, signs and symbols
D. waving and handshaking are not related to culture

Questions 11 – 20

Canada is a democracy organized as a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of


government modeled after that of Great Britain. The official head of state in Canada is Queen
Elizabeth of Britain, who is also Queen of Canada. The governor-general is

(5) the queen’s personal representative in Canada and the official head of the Canadian
parliament, although with very limited powers.

The federal parliament in Canada consists of the House of Commons and the Senate. The
actual head of government is the prime minister, who is responsible for choosing a cabinet. The
cabinet consists of a group of ministers of varied expertise who serve with the support

(10) of the House of Commons. They are responsible for most legislation, and have the sole power
to prepare and introduce bills that provide for the expenditure of public funds or taxation. The
system is referred to as responsible government, which means that cabinet members sit in the
parliament and are directly responsible to it, holding power only as long as a majority of the
House of Commons shows confidence by voting with them. If a cabinet is

(15) defeated in the House of Commons on a motion of censure or a vote of no confidence, the
cabinet must either resign, in which case the governor-general will ask the leader of the
opposition to form a new cabinet, or a new election may be called.

The Canadian Senate has 104 members, appointed by the governor-general on the advice of
the prime minister. Their actual function is advisory, although they may make minor changes

(20) in bills and no bill may become a law without being passed by the Senate. Senators hold office
until age seventy-five unless they are absent from two consecutive sessions of parliament. The
real power, however, resides in the House of Commons, the members of which are elected
directly by the voters. The seats are allocated on the basis of population, and there are about
300 constituencies. By custom, almost all members of the cabinet must

(25) be members of the House of Commons or, if not already members, must win seats within a
reasonable time. General elections must be held at the end of every five years, but they may
be conducted whenever issues require it, and most parliaments are dissolved before the end of
the five-year term. (IV) When a government loses its majority support in a general election, a
change of government occurs.

(30) Although major and minor political parties were not created by law, they are recognized by law
in Canada. The party that wins the largest number of seats in a general election forms the
government, and its leader becomes the prime minister. The second largest party becomes the
official opposition, and its leader is recognized as the leader of the opposition. In this way, the
people are assured of an effective alternative government should they become displeased with
the one in power.

11. What does this passage mainly discuss?


A. Political parties in Canada
B. The Canadian election process
C. The Canadian system of government
D. The powers of parliament in Canada
12. When does a change of government occur in Canada?
A. When the governor-general decides to appoint a new government
B. When the voters do not return majority support for the government in a general election
C. When the prime minister advises the governor-general to appoint a new government
D. When the House of Commons votes for a new government
13. The word 'dissolved' in paragraph three could be replaced by
A. Approved
B. Evaluated
C. Reorganized
D. dismissed

accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual. The argument for
this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the
world, even the seasonal change, as unpredictable and they sought, through

(5) various means, to control the unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to
bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals.
Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed
some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided
material for art and drama.

(10) Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the
seed of theater because music, dance, masks and costumes were almost always used.
Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances, and when the entire
community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the “acting area” and
the “auditorium”. In addition, there were performers, and since considerable

(15) importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders
usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other
people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect – success in hunt or
battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun – as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic
representations were separated from religious activities.

(20) Another theory traces the theater`s origin from the human interest in storytelling. According to
this view, tales (about the hunt, war or other feats) are gradually elaborated, at first through the
use of impersonation, action and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of
each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances
that are primarily rythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and
sounds.

Question 40 – 50

Staggering tasks confronted the people of the United States, North and South, when the Civil
War ended. About a million and a half soldiers from both sides had to be demobilized,
readjusted to civilian life, and reabsorbed by the devastated economy. Civil go vernment also
had to be put back on a peacetime basis and interference from the military had to be stopped.

(6) The desperate plight of the South has eclipsed the fact that reconstruction had to be
undertaken also in the North, though less spectacularly. Industries had to adjust to peacetime
conditions; factories had to be retooled for civilian needs.

Financial problems loomed large in both the North and the South. The national debt had shot
up from a modest $65 million in 1861, the year the war started, to nearly $3 billion in 1865, the
year the war ended. This was a colossal sum for those days but one that a prudent government
could pay. At the same time, war taxes had to be reduced to less burdensome levels.

(14) Physical devastation caused by invading armies, chiefly in the South and border states, had to
be repaired. This herculean task was ultimately completed, but with discouraging slowness.

Other important questions needed answering. What would be the future of the four million
Black people who were freed from slavery? On what basis were the Southern states to be
brought back into the Union?

(20) What of the Southern leaders, all of whom were liable to charges of treason? One of these
leaders, Jefferson Davis, president of the Southern Confederacy, was the subject of an
insulting popular Northern song, "Hang Jeff Davis from a Sour Apple Tree", and even children
sang it. Davis was temporarily chained in his prison cell during the early days of his two-year
imprisonment. But he and the other Southern leaders were finally released, partly because it
was unlikely that a jury from Virginia, a Southern Confederate state, would convict them. All the
leaders were finally pardoned by President Johnson in 1868 in an effort to help reconstruction
efforts proceed with as little bitterness as possible.
