READING
PASSAGE 1
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.
Many intercultural families involve the negotiation of different cultural traditions. They must adopt,
or adapt to, elements of a different culture. This process can sometimes be fraught. Our cultural
background provides us with a set of expectations about how things work in the world. Negotiating
different elements of this worldview requires understanding and acceptance, and often compromise.
Dom and her twin sister Gen grew up with a blending of their mum and dad’s cultural traditions.
Their mum is of European heritage and their dad is Indian, but she grew up in Singapore. As a
family, they celebrated Christmas and Deepavali. At Christmas, they had a roast lunch and presents.
They also celebrated Deepavali or Diwali, as it is sometimes called, with a family meal and a prayer.
They had sparklers too because it is the Festival of Light. On birthdays, they ate Prasad, an Indian
sweet. But she doesn’t recall her parents struggling with cultural differences. Their parents want
them to pick and choose what they wanted from each culture.
Chloe and Matt had to navigate their different cultural heritages in the planning of their wedding.
They had to bring Chloe’s Chinese and Matt’s Italian backgrounds together so that they and both
families were happy with. The couple wanted a ‘Western style’ service in a church. Yet, Chloe’s
mum was uncomfortable with that and suggested the ‘Eastern’ side of the family. So, they included
the traditional Chinese tea ceremony in the reception. Usually it takes place on the morning of the
wedding with family members, but the couple decided to do it at the wedding reception instead.
Chloe says when she spoke to guests, they had loved it.
In many intermarried families, the merging of cultural traditions happens most around the dinner
table. Eliza remembers lots of stories about cooking when she was growing up. Her mum, from
Trinidad and Tobago, still makes traditional food for their family. At Christmas, instead of roast ham
for lunch, they would have it for breakfast. She would cut it up with tomatoes and lots of traditional
spices. Mum would always try to get them to eat more spices, Eliza admits. “She’s got this jar of
spicy sauce and it’s too spicy for the rest of us. She puts it on her food and she asks us if we want
some too. We’re like, ‘no no no no!’ So she’d say to us, ‘you’re not proper black children.’ She’s
like, ‘it’s your white side coming out’,” Eliza laughs. She says her dad is of British heritage.
Although navigating cultural differences in family life can be challenging, successful intermarriages
have some common factors. One is shared values; another is a common faith. Openness towards
difference and the ability to compromise are also important.

PASSAGE 2
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.
Not much is known about the saola, a mysterious horned mammal native to forests in the Annamite
Mountains of Laos and Vietnam. The species was unknown to Western science until 1992, when
researchers encountered saola horns in the home of a local hunter. Scientists have only managed to
record a saola in the wild five times - and only with camera traps. At least one thing seems fairly
certain, though: The saola is a very endangered species.
Adult saolas are about 33 inches tall at the shoulder, but they can weigh 220 pounds, and their two
long horns can grow to 20 inches. Smaller than most cattle and bison, they have managed to hide
from humans better than other animals at their size. They are likely the world’s largest land animal
that has never been seen in the wild by a biologist. Even so, they are still suffering the effects of
human’s presence.
Hunting is the main danger to the saolas, even though most hunters in the species’ range have little
interest in killing or capturing them. Unlike many other animals in their habitat, the saolas are not
featured in the traditional Chinese pharmacopeia, so there isn’t much financial incentive for hunters
to target saolas for export. The species’ meat is not considered especially appealing compared with
other, more common ungulates in the same forests, like muntjacs or sambar deer, so they are not
highly valued as bushmeat, either. Nonetheless, they’re often incidentally killed amid the general
pursuit of other wildlife. Some saolas fall victim to bushmeat hunters, but the main threat comes
from wire traps set by professional poachers.
Another major threat to the saola is a familiar one for wildlife all over the world: the loss and
fragmentation of its habitat. The development of the Ho Chi Minh Highway has already affected
saola populations by fragmenting forests as well as by increasing human access for logging, hunting,
and spiriting wildlife away to urban markets. The road has also led to more deforestation in several
key areas for the saola, especially the Hue Saola Nature Reserve and Quang Nam Saola Reserve. The
high growth rate in human populations will likely add to the pressures already fueling the saola’s
decline.
People have been trying to capture saolas about 20 times since 1992. Unfortunately, all have died
shortly afterward except for two that were released back into the wild. There are currently no captive
saolas anywhere, and thus no backup for wild populations. If a captive breeding program can’t be
established before the last wild saolas fade away, the species will be lost forever.
