correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42. 
 In early civilization, citizens were educated informally, usually within the family unit. Education 
meant simply learning to live. As civilization became more complex, however, education became more 
formal, structured, and comprehensive. Initial efforts of the ancient Chinese and Greek societies 
concentrated solely on the education of males. The post-Babylonian Jews and Plato were exceptions to 
this pattern. Plato was apparently the first significant advocate of the equality of the sexes. Women, in his 
ideal state, would have the same rights and duties and the same educational opportunities as men. This 
aspect of Platonic philosophy, however, had little or no effect on education for many centuries, and the 
concept of a liberal education for men only, which had been espoused by Aristotle, prevailed. 
 In ancient Rome, the availability of an education was gradually extended to women, but they were 
taught separately from men. The early Christians and medieval Europeans continued this trend, and

C. Although I had never seen her before but I recognized her from a photograph.
D. After I had seen her, I recognized her from a photograph.

A. Julia was the only member in the team to come to his birthday party.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct word for each of the blanks.
CHILD PRODIGIES
Occasionally a young child with very advanced (31)____abilities is admitted to university. These children 
are of course genius, or prodigies. Typically, they began their (32)____studies at university before they are 
fifteen years old. After finishing their first degree, they usually sail through it in a year or two- they 
continue to do postgraduate studies in a specialized field of medicine or science. Many of these
talented youngsters receive (33)_____from very prestigious educational institutions to help pay for their 
studies. Some of the older students dislike being taught in seminars with a child prodigy. They find it 
rather annoying when someone so young excels at the subject so easily while they (34)_____over their 
course. Others, however, benefits from the experience of (35)____their subject with a child prodigy. The 
tutors who runs the seminars, however, generally enjoy having such gifted students.

single-sex schools for the privileged through classes prevailed through the Reformation period. Gradually, 
however, education for women, in a separate but equal basis to that provided for men, was becoming a 
clear responsibility of society. Martin Luther appealed for civil support of schools for all children. Al the 
Council of Trent in the 16th century, the Roman Catholic Church encouraged the establishment of free 
primary schools for children of all classes. The concept of universal primary education, regardless of sex, 
had been born, but it was still in the realm of the single-sex school. 
 In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, co-education became a more widely applied principle of 
educational philosophy. In Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union the education of boys and girls in the 
same classes became an accepted practice. Since World War II, Japan and the Scandinavian countries have 
also adopted relatively universal co-educational systems. The greatest negative reaction to co-education 
has been felt in the teaching systems of the Latin countries, where the sexes have usually been separated at 
both primary and secondary levels, according to local conditions. 
A number of studies have indicated that girls seem to perform better overall and in science in particular. In 
single-sex classes, during the adolescent years, pressure to conform to stereotypical female gender roles 
may disadvantage girls in traditionally male subjects, making them reluctant to volunteer for experimental 
work while taking part in lessons. In Britain, academic league tables point to high standards achieved in 
girls’ schools. Some educationalists, therefore, suggest segregation of the sexes as a good thing, 
particularly in certain areas, and a number of schools are experimenting with the idea. 
Question 36: Ancient education generally focused its efforts on __________. 
A. young people only B. on male learners C. both sexes D. female learners 
Question 37: Education in early times was mostly aimed at __________. 
A. teaching skills B. learning new lifestyles

Question 38: The first to support the equality of the sexes was __________. 
A. the Chinese B. the Jews C. Plato D. the Greek 
Question 39: The word “informally” in this context mostly refers to an education occurring __________. 
A. in a department B. in classrooms C. ability D. outside the school 
Question 40: When education first reached women, they were __________. 
A. separated from men B. locked up in a place with men 
C. deprived of opportunities D. isolated from a normal life 
Question 41: When the concept of universal primary education was introduced, education __________. 
A. was intended for all the sexes B. was given free to all 
C. was intended to leave out female learners D. focused on imparting skills 
Question 42: Co-education was negatively responded to in __________. 
A. conservative countries B. Japan 
C. South American countries D. the Scandinavian countries 
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 43 to 50. 
Noise is unwanted sound and is among the most pervasive pollutants today. Noise from road 
traffic, jet planes, jet skis, garbage trucks, construction equipment, manufacturing processes, lawn 
mowers, leaf blowers, and boom boxes, to name a few, are among the unwanted sounds that are routinely 
broadcast into the air. 
The problem with noise is not only that it is unwanted, but also that it negatively affects human 
health and well-being. Problems related to noise include hearing loss, stress, high blood pressure, sleep 
loss, distraction and lost productivity, and a general reduction in the quality of life and opportunities for 
tranquillity.

We experience noise in a number of ways. On some occasions, we can be both the cause and the 
victim of noise, such as when we are operating noisy appliances or equipment. There are also instances 
when we experience noise generated by others just as people experience second-hand smoke. While in 
both instances, noises are equally damaging, second-hand noise is more troubling because it 
has negative impacts on us but is put into the environment by others, without our consent. 
The air into which second-hand noise is emitted and on which it travels is a “commons”, a public 
good. It belongs to no one person or group, but to everyone. People, businesses, and organizations, 
therefore, do not have unlimited rights to broadcast noise as they please, as if the effects of noise were 
limited only to their private property. On the contrary, they have an obligation to use the commons in ways 
that are compatible with or do not detract from other uses. 
People, businesses, and organizations that disregard the obligation to not interfere with others' use 
and enjoyment of the commons by producing noise pollution are, in many ways, acting like a bully in a 
school yard. Although perhaps unknowingly, they nevertheless disregard the rights of others and claim for 
themselves rights that are not theirs. 
We have organized to raise awareness of noise pollution and help communities take back the commons 
from those acting like bullies. Our efforts include building a library of resources and tools concerning 
noise pollution, establishing links to other groups that have similar collections, establishing networks 
among local noise activists, assisting communities and activists who are working to reduce noise 
pollution, and monitoring and advocating for stronger noise controls. 
Question 43: It is stated in the passage that all of the following are things the noise comes from EXCEPT 
______. 
A. Television, radio B. Lawn mower, leaf blowers 
C. Road traffic, garbage trucks D. Jet planes, watercraft 
Question 44: It can be inferred from the passage that the effects of noise pollution on the human body are 
that ______. 
A. people get accustomed to ear and heart diseases B. people focus mainly on hearing 
C. people are sensitive about everything around D. people have difficulty falling asleep 
Question 45: The word “negative” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ______. 
A. assertive B. penetrative C. relative D. positive 
Question 46: Which of the following is supposed to be way to reduce noise pollution? 
A. cooperation with other noise activists 
B. fining people who break laws in noise regulation 
C. construction of large projects along roads 
D. prohibiting public transport during peak hours 
Question 47: The word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to ______. 
A. second-hand noise B. a public good C. effect of noise D. the air 
Question 48: The word “disregard” in paragraph 5 could be best replaced by which of the following? 
A. ignore B. obey C. invade D. disturb 
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? 
A. Noise that is experienced by people who did not produce it is called second-hand noise. 
B. People’s enjoyment of the commons by producing noise pollution is regarded as a bully. 
C. Noise is one of the most common contaminants nowadays. 
D. People intentionally make noise when they work. 
Question 50: Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in the passage? 
A. Incentive B. Explanatory C. Cynical D. Provocative
