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 from 51 to 60. Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth - century technology is Modern Times, made in 1936. Charlie Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing him, happened to describe the working conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin was told that healthy young farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines. Within four or five years, these young men's health was destroyed by the stress of work in the factories. »w) Jct^ The film opens with a short of a mass o f sheep making their way down a crowded ramp. Abruptly, the film shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factory. However, the rather bitter note o f criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained. It is replaced by a gentle note of satire. Chaplin prefers to entertain rather than lecture. Scences of factory interiors account for only about one - third of Modern Times, but they contain some of the most pointed social commentary as well as the most comic situations. No one who has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying to keep pace with the fast - moving conveyor belt, almost losing his Tiind in the process. Another popular scene involves an automatic feeding machine brought to the assembly line so that workers need not interrupt their labor to eat. The feeding machine malfunctions, hurling food at Chapline, who is strapped in his position on the assembly line and cannot escape. This serves to illustrate people's utter helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to serve their basic needs.

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars o f the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term "reading" undoubtly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth centur\ did silent reading become commonplace. One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others. Examinations o f factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode o f reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves ' changed in character. n j The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number o f readers. As the number o f readers increased, the number o f potential listeners declined and thus there was some some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers. Towards the end o f the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading o f materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other. By the end o f the twentieth century, students were being recommend to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term "reading" implied. Question 61: Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because A. few people could read to themselves B. there were few places available for private reading C. silent reading had not been discovered U) .jii,, , D. people relied on reading for entertainment ' Question 62: The word "commonplace" in the first paragraph mostly means " ". A. attracting attention B. for everybody's use C. most preferable D. widely used Question 63: The development of silent reading during the last century indicated A. an increase in the number o f books B. an increase in the average age o f readers A 7 C. a change in the status of literate people D. a change in the nature of reading Question 64: Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of A. the decreasing need to read aloud B. the development of libraries T'"^'"!''' \ y^*""""-; , C. the increase in literacy D. the decreasing number of listeners Question 65: It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading materials was an indication of nqinw A. a decline of standards of literacy B. a change in the readers' interest C. an improvement of printing techniques * ' - D. an alternation in educationalists' attitudes Question 66: The phrase "a specialized readership" in paragraph 4 mostly means A. a status for readers specialized in mass media B. a limited numbers of readers in a particular area of knowledge C. a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge D. a reading volume for particular professionals Question 67: The phrase "oral reader" in the last paragraph mostly means "a person who " A. takes part in an audition B. is good at public speaking C. is interested in spoken language D. practises reading to an audience Question 68: All of the following might be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared literacy culture EXCEPT A. the inappropriate reading skills B. the printed mass media C. the diversity of reading materials D. the specialized readership Question 69: Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced with power. It was used to drive engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability. On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands o f ways. From the powerful voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass o f molten metal in a surface, or to boil a Jug for a cup of coffee. Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances. To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal. Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an ancient. Atragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation. Now scientists are examing new ways o f creating electricity without harmful effects to the environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that bum fossil fuels.

It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education, evertheless. it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to ^*^'i«ol. The difference between schooling and education implied bv this remark is 'mportant. Education is much more open - ended and all - inclusive than schooling, ducation knows no limits. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or 'lie job, whether in the kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal , , - learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent (doer) of education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from a child to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People receive education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one's entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalilzed process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings o f governments, have been limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling. Question 51: This passage is mainly aimed at A. listing and discussing several educational problems B. telling the difference between the meaning of two related words C. telling a stor\ about excellent teachers D. giving examples o f different schools Question 52: In the passage, the expression "children interrupt their education to go to school" mostly implies that A. schooling prevents people discovering things B. schooling takes place everywhere C. all of life is an education D. education is totally ruined by schooling Question 53: The word "all - inclusive" in the passage mostly means A. including everythingg or everyone B. going in many directions C. involving many school subjects D. allowing no exceptions Question 54: According to the passage, the doers of education are A. only respected grandparents B. mainly politicians C. mostly famous scientists D. almost all people Question 55: What does the writer mean by saying "education quite often produces surprises"? A. It's surprising that we know little about other religions. B. Educators often produce surprises. C. Informal learning often brings about unexpected results. D. Success o f informal learning is predictable. Question 56: Which o f the following would the writer support? A. Our education system needs to be changed as soon as possible. - < ^ B. Going to school is only part o f how people become educated. C. Schooling is o f no use because students do similar things every day. D.

Read the followin}^ passaf^e and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70. At the beginning o f the nineteenth century, the American educational system was desperately in need of reform. Private schools existed, but only for the very rich. There were very few public schools because of the strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be laborers should not "waste" their time on education but should instead prepare themselves for their life's work. It was in the face o f this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task. Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As Superintendent o f Education in the state of Massachesetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other schooldistricts around the country. He extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries. Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening of the system.
