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

Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times.

Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to the music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a positive effect will probably not make him feel good. A happy song might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music. The angry person does not want to accept the song's happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to the surface. When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece understood the effects of music.  In  fact,  Pathagoras,  in  ancient  Greece,  introduced  a  whole  science  that  concerned  them. Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood these effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and beneficial. Once the effects of music are better understood, the next step is to gain a better understanding of the music around us, and what effect it is actually having.

Question 28.  The text is about__________.     

A. The science of music 

B. Music and an angry person                                 

C. Understanding music

D. The effects of music on human feelings 

Question 29.  Music__________. 

A. cannot be chosen

B. affects us in different ways

C. affects everybody in the same way

D. never makes us angry

Question 30.  According to the text, __________.   

A. Everybody likes jazz

B. a very angry person sometimes do not accept music

C. No one likes jazz 

D. Jazz always makes us feel better    

Question 31.  In ancient cultures, there used to be a science that concerned the effects of music in__________.

A. Greece

B. China

C. India

D. Turkey              

Question 32.  The word "Once" has a close meaning to__________. 

A. on time 

B. because

C. when 

D. if

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

These stories of killer bees in the news in recent years have attracted a lot of attention as the bees have made their way from South America. Killer bees are reputed to be extremely aggressive in nature, although experts that their aggression may have been somewhat inflated.

The killer bee is a combination of the very mild European strain of honeybee and the considerably more aggressive African bee, which was created when the African strain was imported into Brazil in 1955. The African bees were brought into Brazil because their aggression was considered an advantage: they were far more productive than their European counterparts in that they spent a higher percentage of their time working and continued working longer in inclement weather than did the European bees.

These killer bees have been known to attack humans and animals, and some fatalities have occurred. Experts point out, however, that the mixed breed known as the killer bee is actually not at all as aggressive as the pure African bee. They also point out that the attacks have a chemical cause. A killer bee stings only when it has been disturbed; it is not aggressive by nature. However, after a disturbed bee stings and flies away; it leaves its stinger embedded in the victim. In the vicera attached to the embedded stinger is the chemical isoamyl acetate, which has an odor that attracts other bees. As other bees approach the victim of the original sting, the victim tends to panic, thus disturbing other bees and causing them to sting. The new stings create more of the chemical isoamyl acetate which attracts more bees and increases the panic level of the victim. Killer bees tend to travel in large clusters or swarms and thus respond in large numbers to the production of isoamyl acetate.

Question 28. The subject of the paragraph before paragraph 1 was mostly likely_________.

A. the creation of the killer bee

B. the chemical nature of killer bees attacks

C. stories in the media about killer bees       

D. ways of producing honey

Question 29. The word "inflated" in paragraph 1 means_________.

A. aired      

B. exaggerated     

C. blown

D. burst

Question 30. The word 'their' in paragraph 2 refers to_________.

A. the European bees'    

B. the African bees'

C. the killer bees'

D. the honey bees'

Question 31. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage as a contributing factor in an attack by killer bees?

A. Panic by the victims  

B. The odor of isoamyl acetate

C. Disturbance of the bees

D. Inclement weather

Question 32. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of killer bees?

A. attack humans and animals  

B. are aggressive by nature

C. travel in large clusters

D. are a combination of European honeybee and African bee

B. WRITING (2.0 points)

Changes in care giving roles

With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father’s role, modern day fathers tend to be more involved in children’s care giving. They are now spending more time and energy on their children. Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the influence of a father’s love and attention is as great as that of a mother’s. Fatherly love helps children develop a sense of their place in the world, which helps their social and emotional development. Moreover, children who receive more love from their fathers are less likely to have behavioral problems.

This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in the future, especially in traditionally male-dominated societies.

Question 28. Which of these is NOT the traditional role of a father?

A. financial supporter

B. teacher of moral values        

C. religious educator

D. caregiver

Question 29. Social welfare programmes__________.

A. support families financially

B. help mothers with domestic abuse

C. educate fathers about their responsibilities

D. train caregivers

Question 30. The influence of a mother’s love is__________ that of the father’s.

A. more important than  

B. less important than    

C. much greater than      

D. as important as

Question 31. Children who get more fatherly love will__________ behavioural problems.

A. never have any

B. have more

C. have fewer       

D. have a lot of

Question 32. The changing roles of the father will be seen more clearly in__________.

A. ethnic groups

C. economically independent societies

In order to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week each student studies online as well as that students’ learning materials and assessment activities.

The bee, like the ant. is a social insect. Bees live in groups in a hive, and every bee does certain work that helps the other members of the group. In a beehive there are three kinds of bees: the queen bee, the drones, and the workers. The worker bees go from flower to flower collecting nectar, or juice, which is composed mostly of sugar mixed with water. Bees draw this nectar into the honey sacks of their bodies, and enzymes in their bodies turn the nectar into honey. This newly made honey flows slowly from the underside of the bees and is stored in cells in the hive to be used as food during the winter months. Some people are in the honey business and keep hundreds of hives. Beekeepers remove honey from the hives and pack it in bottles or jars. Honey usually appears as a clear golden-colored liquid, but this depends on the kind of flower from which the bees have taken the nectar.
