given in the relevant passage that corresponds to each question.
Passage 1

Zora Neale Hurston was born in 1901 in Eatonville, Florida,

the seventh child of tenant farmers. When Hurston was nine, her
morther‟s death and her farther‟s speedy remarriage ended her
childhood and left her in charge of her own life. Her passion for
5 education took her to Howard University in Washington, D.C,
in 1918. While at Howard, Hurston began tp write and to make
contact with some of the leading figures of the Harlem Renaiss-
ance, a flowering of black literature and art in the New York,
of the 1920s. She eventually moved to New York, where she
10 worked as secretary to the popular romantic, writer Fannie
Hurston and continued her studies at Barnard College.
A student of anthropology, Hurston devoted the five years
-6-
viBaØasaPasaGg;eKøssRmab;RbLgGaharUbkrN_-RKUmFümsikSa-cUlmhaviTüal½y
following her graduation to the collection of rural black
folklore in Haiti, the West Indies, and the American South. Her
15 ear for the rhythms of speech and her daring in seeking
initiation in to many voodoo cults resulted in ethnographic
studies such as Mules and Men, which conveyed the color and
vigor of rural black culture.

Hurston married twice but found the demands of marriage

20 incompatible with her career. She continued her fieldwork in
the Caribbean but eventually followed her most cherished
calling, that of fiction writer. Their Eyes Were Watching God
(1937), a novle about a black woman finding happiness in
simple farm life, is now her most famous book, all though for
25 thirty years after publication, it was largely unknow,unread,
and dismissed by the male literary establishment. In this novle,
Hurston give us a heroic female charater, Janie Carwford, who
portrays autonomys, self-realization, and independence, while
also beging a romantic figure subordinate to a man. This novle
30 reveals an African-American woman writer struggling with the
problem of the hero as woman and the difficulties of giving a woman
character such courage and power in 1937.
From thebeginning of her career, Hurston was criticized for
not writing fiction in the protest tradition. Her conservative
35 views on race relations put her out of touch with the temper of
the time. She agued that integration would undermine the
values and vitality of African Amercan culture. Hurston died in
poverty and obscurity in 1960, and it was only afterward that
later generation s of black and white Americans were to
40 rediscover and revere her celebrations of black culture and the
black imagination.

Passage 2

Today‟s retailers use a number of persuasive merchandising
techniques such as displays and the positioning of goods in the
store. Retailers put goods they are trying to move at eye level

customers can root through and examine instead of neatly
constructed pyramids that buyers dare not touch for fear
knocking them down.

Passage 1
The time when humans crossed the Arctic land bridge from

late stage in the prehistory of humans, an era when polished
stone implements and bows and arrows were already being used

When these early migrants arrived in North American, they
found the woods and plains dominated by three types of American
mammoths. These elephants were distinguished from today‟s
elephants mainly by their thick, shaggy coats and their huge,
10 upward-curving tusks. They had arrived on the continent
hundreds of thousands of years before their human followers.
hundreds. The wooly mammoth in the North, the Columbian
mammoth in middle North American, and the imperial
mammoth of the South, together with their distant cousins the
15 mastodons, dominated the land. Here, as in the Old World, there is
evidence that humans hunted these elephants, as shown by the
numerous spear points found with mammoth remains.
Then, as the end of the ice Age, when the last glaciers had
retreated, there was a relatively sudden and widespread extinction
20 of elephants. In the New World, both mammoths and mastodons
disappeared. In the Old World, only Indian and African elephants
survived.
Why did the huge, seemingly successful mammoths
disappear? Were humans connected with their extinction?

Passage 2
Just before and during World War I, a number of white musicians
came to Chicago from New Orleans playing in an idiom they had
learned from blacks in that city. Five of them formed what
eventually became known as the Original Dixieland Band. They
5 moved to New York in 1917 and won fune there. That year they
recorded the first phonograph record identified as jazz.
The first important recording by black musicians was made
in Chicago in 1923 by King Oliver‟s Creole Jazz Band, a group that
featured some of the foremost Jazz musicians of the time, including
10 trumpet player Louis Arnstrong. Arnstrong‟s dynamic trumpet style
became famous wordwide. Other band members had played in Fate
Marable‟s band, which traveled up and down the Mississippi River
entermaining passengers on riverboats.
The characteristics of this type of Jazz, known as Dixieland
15 Jass, included a compex interweaving of melodic lines among the
coroner or trumpet, clarinet, and trombone, and a steady chomp-

chomp beat provided by the rthythm section, which included the
piano, bess, and drums. Most bands used no written notations,
preferring arrangement agree on verbally.
20 Improvisation was an indispensable element. Even
bandleadleaders such as Duke Ellingron, who provided his
musicians with written arrangements, permitted them plenty to
freedom to improvise when playing solos.
In the late 1920s, the most influential jazz artists in Chicago
25 were members of small bands such as the Wolverines. In New
York the trend was toward larger groups. These groups played in
revues, large dance halls, and theaters. Bands would become larger
still during the next age of jazz, the Swing era.

For questions 6-13, read the text bolow and select the best answer
which best answer each of the questions that follow. (2 marks for
each correct answer)
The United States Constitution makes no provision for the
nomination of candidates for the presidency. As the framers of the
Constitution set up the system, the electors would, out of their own
knowledge, select the “wisest and best” as President. But the rise of
5 political parties altered that system drastically-and with the change
came the need for nominations.
The first method that the parties developed to nominate
presidential candidates was the congressional caucus, a small
group of members of Congress. That method was regularly use in
10 the elections of 1800 to 1824. But its closed character led to its
downfall in the mid-1820s. For the elections of 1832, both major
parties tuned to the national convention as their nominating device.
It has continued to serve them ever since.
With the convention precess, the final selection of the Predident
15 is, for all practical purposes, narrowed to one of two person: the
Republican or the Democratis party nominee. Yet there is no legal
control of that vital process.
- 32 -
viBaØasaPasaGg;eKøssRmab;RbLgGaharUbkrN_-RKUmFümsikSa-cUlmhaviTüal½y
The Constituftion is silent on the subject of presidential
nominations. There is, as well, almost no statutory law on the
20 matter. The only provisions in federal law have to do with the
financing of convention. And in each state there is only a small
body of laws that deal with issues related to the convention, such
as the choosing of delegates and the manner in which they may
cast their votes. In short, the convention is very largely a creation
25 and a responsibility of the political parties themselves.
In both the Republican and Democratic parties, the national
committee is charged with madding the plans and arrangement for
the national convention. As much as a year before it is held, the
committee meets (usually in Washington, D.C.) to set the time and
30 and place for the convention. July has been the favored month; but
each party has met in convention as early as mid-June and also as
late as the part of August.
Where the convention is held is a matter of prime importance.
There must be an adequate convention hall, sufficient hotel
35 accommodations, plentiful entertainment outlets, and efficient
transportation facilities.
6. Which of the following motivated a change in the original method of
selecting President of the United states?

Problem.
(E) Electric cars have a majir disadvantage.
(F) Air pollution appears to be a cause of illness.
(G) Air pollution is now a worry for everyone.
(H) Cars are destroying the air quality in cities.

14. Around the world, governments and their citizens are becoming
increasingly concerned about what the motor car its internal
combustion enging do to air we breathe. In some cities, air
pollution resulting from the internal combustion engine is so bad
that drastic action has had to be taken. In summertime, pollution in
some southern European cities is now so serious that it is common
for half the usual number of commuters to be forbidden to bring
their cars into the city.

15. Calculting the number of people who become unwell or even die as
a result of air pollution is very difficult. But recent studies of the
effects of cars fumes suggest that the health risks may be more
severe that previously thought.

16. Suddenly, urban air pollution is no longer a subject just for

environmentalists but a cause of widespread public concern.
Ordinary people are beginning to sit up and take notice.

17. There are numerous proposed ways of dealing with the problems:
one of the most radical is t slowly stop using the internal
- 35 -
viBaØasaPasaGg;eKøssRmab;RbLgGaharUbkrN_-RKUmFümsikSa-cUlmhaviTüal½y
combustion engine and to use instead the electric motor powered
from a large battery pack. A lot of money es now being invested by
car and battery manufacturers to create „clean‟ vehicles.

18. Much of the pressure has come from the land where the car is king
California. The United States has no public transport to speak of
(the major car – markers actively contributed to its destruction) so
the car is the average American‟s only practical means of daily
transport. But some US cities, Los Angeles in particular, are paying
a high price for this over-reliance. LA‟s famous smogs – trapped by
the natural „bowl‟ of the nearby mountains – are the result of
reactions between the chemicals which come from the city‟s
millions of car exhausts.

19. Because of this serious pollution problem, California has for over
20 years set tough pollution laws. Even so, LA‟s smog has problem
has not been solved. So now, the „sunshine state‟ has taken the first
step towards removing the internal combustion engine altogether
from its roads. From 1998, all car-makers who sell their cars in
California will have to offers a proportion of electric cars offered
Must be two percent, rising to five percent by 2003 and to ten
percent by 2005.

20. Environmentalists argue, with some justification, that only by

making laws like this can politicians force change on the car
industry. But others – some of them no less committed to cleaner
urban air – doubt that the totally electuic car is the rignt solution to
the problem. The difficulty with electric cars is that they can only
travel a short distance at a time. At the moment there is no obvious
solution to the transport problems of the world cities.

SECTION C: READING (30 MARKS)

Read the passage and do the following exercise.

There is a growing awarenese that startion an active lifestyle when you

are young and continuing into adulthood is beneficial. The government,
therefore, meeds to understand how and why people take part in sports
in order to encourage more participation. Unfortunately, assessing
levels of participation is extremely difficult due to a wide range of
factors.
A. Both government and individuals have recognized for some time the
need to establish an active lifestyle which does not end when people
leave school or university. In order to develop a conerent approach
to how sports are organized in the future, and to encourage
participation from all levels of society, it is necessary to review
some of the isssues which affect people‟s attitudes towards sporting
- 45 -
viBaØasaPasaGg;eKøssRmab;RbLgGaharUbkrN_-RKUmFümsikSa-cUlmhaviTüal½y
activities.

B. It is very difficult to envisage exactly what directions sport will take

in the future. In the last seventies, experts predicted that badminton
and squash would become hugsly popular. In reahty, the number of
participants has decreased for quash, and remained static in the case
of badminton. The corrent interest in yoga and Pilates was
unpredicted. There are a variety of reasons for these erroneous
predictions. Thirty years ago, academic research was limited in this
area. Furthermore and more frndamentally, participation in sports is
affected by a wide rage of factors. Dusoisable income and health
awareness significantly affect, different leves of sports participation
while socio-economic class, gender, edication and age also play a
role.

C. Traditionally, there is a significant decline in participation in sports

and other physical activities as people get older. Whilst this remains
common, there are indications that a new generation of more active
older people is emergin. In a recent General Household Survey,
participation in at least one sport (excluding walking) in the 60-69
age group increased from 23% in 1980 to 30% in 1996. This
tendency can be traced to a number of ractors. The generation
approaching retirement has had access to a much wider range of
sports. This group will carry thir sporting experience into their later
years. Furtermore, a larger number of the population are retiring at
an earlier age, which means more active people are entering
retirement.

D. A survoy comducted in 1994 indicated that those who continued in

Full-time education after the minimum school-leaving age had
higher rates of sports participation than school leavers, Furthermore,
this group was also more likely to participate as they grew older.
Reasons for this include a diverse range of activities available at
universities and the establishment of sporting habits and networks
which continue into adulthood. It is worth noting that the increase
in female sports participation (an increase of 268% between 1975
and 1995 compared to 81% for males) has paralleled a dramatic
increase in the number of females in higher education.

viBaØasaPasaGg;eKøssRmab;RbLgGaharUbkrN_-RKUmFümsikSa-cUlmhaviTüal½y
E. The major investment in school-aged sport at both primary and
secondary levels has a dual purpose. First of all, it is designed to
improve the physical activity levels of children and young people
and assist in addressing the growing concern over child obesity.
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, it helps establish the
Platform of life-long involvement in sports. Such policies are based
on the concept that early variety in sports participation is linked to
contiruing adult participation. What this means very simply is that
the more sports young people take part in, the more likely they are
to continue taking part into adulthood.

F. Clearly, how sport develops is influenced by a wide range of factors:

changing cultural attitudes and attitudes towards health and fitness,
in addition to how education policies are formulated. Traditional
sports are very likely to comtinue and, in certain areas, expand. In
order to broaden the participation base and contribute address the
issues of „life-time sports‟. There is a clear need, for instance, to
improve our understanding of the processes of participation and
retention in order to successfully addrss the needs of the population
for access to a diverse range of sports activities.

5 independent farmers could not provide an adequate labor supply
for heavy industrialization. But millions of new workers came to
the United States from abroad.
As we are all aware, not all these workers arrived voluntarily.
Slaves were brought from Africa to the South, they were put to
10 work on plantations to extract maximum harvests from the cotton
fields. But in the North, the machines that turned that cotton into
textiles were worked by massive waves of immigrants who came
willingly from one part of Europe after another. This vastly
expanded pool of labor allowed for large leaps in our national
15 output.
A natural cannot grow forever by finding more natural
resources and attracting more workers, thus, a country‟s extensive
growth will eventually slow. But intensive gowth gradually
appears as better use is made of the labor force. In the United
20 States in the mid-nineteenth century many of the newly arrived
immigrants were unskilled and illiterate, but the education policy
of their new land meant that their children all received an
education, and many were trained in a skill. If a society gives
workers more knowledge, they will be able to use machines in a
25 more complex instructions, yielding manufactured goods of greater
value; this process is often known as investing in human capital. In
the late twentieth century, our physical capital is appreciate the
importance of improving our human resources if are to continue to
grow.

Section C: Reading (30 marks)

Read the following two passages. Choose the one best answer (A),
(B), (C) or (D) to each question based on the information given in
the relevant passage.
Passage 1

Today‟s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical

than their predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more
pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of
automobile engines have already been debeloped that run on
5 alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed
natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity,
however, is the only zero-emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a
powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of electric
10 vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric
cars, three wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans,
bikes, and trolleys.

- 74 -
viBaØasaPasaGg;eKøssRmab;RbLgGaharUbkrN_-RKUmFümsikSa-cUlmhaviTüal½y
As automakers work to develop pratical electrical vehicles,
urban planners and utllity engineers are focusing on infrastructure
15 systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public
Charging facilities will need to be as common as today‟s gas
stations. Public parking sports on the street or in commercial lots
will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge
their batteries while they shop, dine, or attend a concert. To
20 encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient
parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric
cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses, and
and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that
would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will
25 be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light
trucks, ong-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline
hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on
automated freeways capable of handing five times the number of
vehicles that can be carried by a freeway today.

1. The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in passage

EXCEPT.
(A) vans
(B) trains
(C) planes
(D) trolleys

2. The author‟s purpose in the passage is to

(A) criticize conventional vehicles
(B) support the invention of electric cars
(C) narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles
(D) describe the possibilities for transportation in the future

3. The passage would most likely be followed by details about

(A) automated freeways

(D) electric shuttle buses

4. The word “compact” in line 9 is closest in meaning to

(A) long-range
(B) inexpensive
(C) concentrated
(D) square

5. In the second paragraph the author implies that

(A) dependable source of electric energy will eventually be
developed
(B) everyday life will stay much the same in the future
(C) a single electric vehicle will eventually replace several
modes of transportation
(D) electric vehicles are not practical for the future

6. According to the passage, public parking lots of the future will be

(A) more convenient than they are today
(B) equipped with charging devices
(C) much larger than they are today
(D) as common as today‟s gas stations

7. This passage would most likely be found in a

viBaØasaPasaGg;eKøssRmab;RbLgGaharUbkrN_-RKUmFümsikSa-cUlmhaviTüal½y
Four West Indian geckos, with human assistance, have recently
entered the United States. The yellow-headed gecko, the ashy
gecko, the reef gecko, and the ocellated gecko are presently
inhabiting the tropical areas of the Keys and tip of southem
5 Florida. The Mediterranean gecko also arrived along the Gulf
coast some time ago, via the West Indies. The only other geckos
in the United States live in the Southwest. In extreme southern
California, the leaf-fingered gecko lives in dry, rocky country and
scampers over bolders at night, hiding by day in crevices. The
10 banded gecko inhabits the desert areas from southern California
to southern Texas. This three-to-four-inch nocturnal gecko has a
slender, tapered tail and stalks insects by raising itself high on its
legs, cocking its head, and twitching its tail nervously before
leaping on its prey. In courtship, the tail is also waved by the male
15 waved by the male as he approaches the female.
Although most lizards are excellent clinbers, the geckos are
able to walk on smooth surfaces with the help of unique clinging
devices under the toes. Also, the undersides of most geckos have
pads of large scales, each of which bear microscopic hairs with
20 hundreds of branches having minute, blunt ends that press against
the surface that the gecko is on, enabling the gecko to cling
to almost any surface. Like other sizards, geckos have the ability
to shed their tails if attacked by an enemy. The stump heals and a
new tail is grown in approximately the same shape as the original.
25 Unlike most lizards, most geckos have no moveable eyelids. The
nocturnal geckos have vertical pupils, which contract in bright
light. All geckos, except several New Zealand species, lay eggs.
The eggs have a tough, white shell and are laid under stones,
behind window shutters, or under bark.

9. The author‟s main purpose is to

(A) compare lizards and geckos
(B) describe the behavior and environment of geckos
(C) analyze the life of a gecko
(D) illustrate the habits of geckos

10. The habitat of the leaf-fingered gecko is described in lines

(A) lizards are better climbers than geckos
(B) lizards and geckos have very little in common
(C) geckos are herbivores
(D) geckos can live in both humid and dry climates

12. In line 1, the author uses the words “human assistance” to mean

The earliest vertical windmills were used in Persia more than

2,000 years ago for the grinding of grain. Windmills were adopted
for pumping water in North America by the middle of the
nineteenth century. Their use declined drastically in the 1930s
5 when inexpensive electricity reached the rural areas. A renewed
interest in the use of windpower to generate electricity followed
the energy crisis of 1970s. A program of the United States
Department of Energy encouraged the development of new
machines, the construction of wind farms, and an evaluation of the
10 economic effect of a large-scale use of wind power.
Public acceptance of wind energy conversion systems is an
important consideration in planning for the widespread application
of wind energy. Studise have shown that the environmental inpact
of such system is relatively small compared to conventional
20 electric power systems. Wind-powered systems do require the
flooding of large land areas or the alteration of the natural ecology,
as do hydroelectric systems. Furthemore, they produce no waste
products or thermal or chemical effluents, as fossil-fueled and
nuclear-fueled systems do.

viBaØasaPasaGg;eKøssRmab;RbLgGaharUbkrN_-RKUmFümsikSa-cUlmhaviTüal½y
of the world.
The population of industrialized countries has almost stopped
growing. But in less-developed countries, it continues to grow at
a very fast rate. Every year, about 97 million people are added to
the world population. About 90 percent of these are in less-
developed countries.
The reason for this difference in population growth lies in the
birth rate. (The birth rate is the average number of children per
woman of child-bearing age.) Population oncreases or decreases
according to the birth rate. When the birth rate is over 2.0, the
population grows. When it is less than 2.0, the population
decreases.
In industrialized countries, a very low birth rate has caused
population growth to slow down or stop altogether. Italy has the
lowest birth rate in the world – only 1.3. In most European
countries and in Japan, the birth rate is under 2.0. The birth rate in
the United States is just over 2.0.
While birth rates have been declining in these countries, life
Expectancy has been increasing. (Life expectancy is the average
length of a person‟s life). In almost all the industrialized countries,
life expectancy is now well over 70 years of age. This means that
the percentage of older people in the population is increasing. In
Italy, for example, one quarter of all Italians will be over 65 years
old by the year 2015.
In less-developed countries, the situation is completely
different. The birth rate in many places is extremely high. It is over
7.0 in many African countries and as hige as 8.3 in Rwanda. At the
same time, life expectancey in these countries is very low. For
example, the life expectancy of an Ethiopian is less than 40 years.
The population, on average, is very young, which means a high
percentage of women of child-bearing age. Thus, even if brith rates
decline, the population will continue to increase for many years.
Rapid population growth also partly explains why less-
developed countries remain much poorer than industrialized
countries is about $ 16,500. In less-developed countries, it is only
about $ 750. As the population increases, so do the problems.
Crowding on the land means that water, food, and firewood become
ever more difficult to find. Hunger and disease kill millions,
especially children. And, as a result, people flood to the cities, or

other countries to look for a better life.

PASSAGE 2
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a
questionnaire, that provides information concerning how people
think and act. In the United States, the best-known surveys are the
Gallup poll and Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news
during presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an
important part of political life in the United States.
North Americanns are familiar with the many person-on-the-
street interviews on local television news shows. While such
interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an
accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the
opinion of only those people who appear at a centain location.
Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-
class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the
news people select. Second, television interviews tend to attract
outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they
frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera. A
survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is
to genuinely reflect a broad rage of the population.

- 103 -
viBaØasaPasaGg;eKøssRmab;RbLgGaharUbkrN_-RKUmFümsikSa-cUlmhaviTüal½y
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise
great care in the wording of questions. An effective survey question
must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it. It must
also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting
the results. Even questions that are less structured must be carefully
phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired. Surveys
can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the
sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately.
There aer two main forms of surveys: the interview and the
questionnaire. Each of these forms of survey research has its
advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because
people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an
interview than to throw away a written questionnaire. In addition,
an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a
subject‟s underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaeres
have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent.

9. What does the passage mainly discuss?

(A) The history of surveys in North America
(B) The principles of conduction surveys
(C) Problems associated with interpreting surveys
(D) The importance of polls in American political life

10. The word “they” in the second paragraph refers to

(A) North Americans
(B) news shows
(C) interviews
(D) opinions

11. According to the passage, the main disadvantage of person-on-the-

street interviews is that they
(A) are not based on o representative sampling
(B) are used only on television
(C) are not carefully worded
(D) reflect political opinions
12. According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important
for an effective survey?
- 104 -
viBaØasaPasaGg;eKøssRmab;RbLgGaharUbkrN_-RKUmFümsikSa-cUlmhaviTüal½y
(A) A high number of respondents
(B) Carefully worded questions
(C) An interviewer‟s ability to measure respondents‟ feelings
(D) A sociologist who is able to interpret the results

13. It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists
may become frustrated with questionnaires is that
(A) respondents often don‟t complete and return
questionnaires
(B) questionnaires are often difficult to read
(C) questionnaires are expensive and difficult to distribute
(D) respondents are too eager to supplement questions with
their own opinions

14. According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over

questionnaires is that live interviews
(A) cost less
(B) can produce more information
(C) are easier to interpret
(D) minimize the influence of the researcher

15. Which of the following terms is defined in the passage?

(A) Survey (the first paragraph)

Passage 2: Questions 71-80

Our eyes and ears might be called transformers since they sense
the light and sound around us and turn them into electrical
impulses that the brain can interpret. These electrical impulses
that have been transformed by the eye and ear reach the brain and
5 are turned into messages that we can interpret. For the eye, the
process begins as the eye admits light waves, bends them at the
comea and lens, and then focuses them on the retina. At the back
of each eye, never fibers bundle together to form optic nerves,
which join and then split into two optic tracts. Some of the fibers
10 cross, so that part of the input from the right visual field gose into
the left side of the brain, and vice versa. The process in the ear is
carried out through sensory cells that are carried in fluid-filled
canals and that are extremely sensitive to vibration. Sound that
is transformed into electricity travels along nerve fibers in the

- 120 -
viBaØasaPasaGg;eKøssRmab;RbLgGaharUbkrN_-RKUmFümsikSa-cUlmhaviTüal½y
15 auditory nerve. These fibers form a synapsis with neurons that
carry the messages to the auditory cortexon each side of the brain.

Sloths are bizarre little beasts that are, above all, slothful.
Prone to sleep ten to twenty hours a day, a sloth settles in for its
daily rest at the toop of a leafy rtee, far from any famished predators
on the ground. There the sloth makes his home, furnished with
branches both for clinging and eating. A voracious vegetarian, this
wild animal weighs in at about twenty pound if it has three toes and
at about ten pounds if it has two toes.There are only two genera of
sloth, but each has characteristics other than the number of its toes
to dictinguish it from the other. The three-toed variety refuses to
exist away form the wild, whereas the two-toed type has been
resident in zoos and has thrived. The three-toed sloth is slow and
sleepy than it won‟t even take the troble to defend itself. The three-
fellow will attack with its hook and teeth if threatened. Both types,
by definition, moves sa slowly as they drag their bellies along the
ground that they make a tortoise look like Jesse Owens in
comparison.

Statestics regarding cigarette smoking are anything but

encouraging. The Federal Trade Commission recently announced
that in 1980 Americans purchased 628.2 billion cigarettes, an
appallingly greater number than ever before. The average smoker
11,633 cigarettes, of wich 44.8 percent were low-tar cigarettes
containing than 15 milligrams of tar. In 1968 the average tar content
was 22 milligrams.

from the Surgeon General, those who still smoke are smoking more
heavily. Many people have forsworn smoking in fear of lung cancer.

cancer have escalated, whereas those for other major cancers have
leveled off or declined. Last year 111,000 will Americans died fo
lung cancer, while it is estimated that 117,000 will succumb this
year. Lung cancer heads the list in killing 35 percent of males who
die from cancer. Lung cancer accounts for 17 percent of women‟s
cancer deaths. An estimated 440,000 deaths from cancer will occur
this year, 9,000 more than the previous year. Lung cancer accounts
for two thirds of the increase. Althouhg many cancer patients have
survived the disease, the prognosis for lung cancer patients is most

cancer do not survive.

SECTION III: Reading (40 marks)

It is very difficult to succeed in the music business; nine out of

ten bands that release a first record fail to produce a second.
Surviving in the music indrstry requires luck and patience, but most
of all it requires an intricate knowledge of how a record company
functions. The process begins when a representative of a company‟s
Artists and Repertoire (A&R) department visits bars and night
clubs, scouting for young, talented bands. After the representative
identifies a promising band, he or she will work to negotiate a
contract with that band. The signing of this recording contract is a
slow process. A company will spend a long time investigating the
band itself as well as current trends in popular music. During this
period, it is important that a band reciprocate with an
investigation of its own, learning as much as possible about the
record company and making personal connections within the
different departments that will handle their recordings.
Once a band has signed the contract and has finished recording

A nature habitat in a zoo imitates the physical environment,

including the soil and vegetation, that the animal has been accustomed
to in the wild.
In the Singapore Mandai Zoo, the orang utan rarely has to
forage the food. To prevent it from being bored and to provide it with
exercise, the zoo keeper ensures that its food, which consists of raisins
and sunflower seeds, is scattered on the ground. The seeds are small
and hard to find, so the animal has to actively look for them.
Secondly, a dispenser full of honey high up in the orang utan‟s
climbing matrix, releases honey at a rate of one drop every few
minutes. In order to taste it, the animal will have to climb it every few
minutes.
To create the natural habitat of the wild, a rocky has been
created for the Himalayan tapir. Trying to create a nature hhbitat for
his animal also means shaping the surrounding area of the enclosures
and the noats using rocks, dead trees and water.
Creating such an environment is no means feat. It requires the
- 153 -
viBaØasaPasaGg;eKøssRmab;RbLgGaharUbkrN_-RKUmFümsikSa-cUlmhaviTüal½y
teamwork of zoologists, engineers, veterinarians and zoo designers.
A zoo designer has said, "Do not try to understand the needs of the
animals using the human eye. After all, mokeys do not need tall trees.

that the animals need. Animals in the wild need a lot of space to
gather their food. To solve this problem, the zoo provides all the food
that the animals need and thus their space is comprissed.
Creating a natural habitat is also of paramount importance
because it is believed that visitors to the zoo will be stimulated to
learn more about the animals and their habitats.
