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 09 to 15.
We get great
pleasure from reading. The more advanced a man is, the greater delight he will
find in reading. The ordinary man may think that subjects like philosophy or
science are very difficult and that if philosophers and scientists read these
subjects, it is not for pleasure. But this is not true. The mathematician finds
the same pleasure in his mathematics as the school boy in an adventure story.
For both, it is a play of the imagination, a mental recreation and exercise.
The pleasure
derived from this activity is common to all kinds of reading. But different
types of books give us different types of pleasure. First in order of
popularity is novel-reading. Novels contain pictures of imaginary people in
imaginary situations, and give us an opportunity of escaping into a new world
very much like our world and yet different from it. Here we seem to live a new
life, and the experience of this new life gives us a thrill of pleasure.
Next in order of
popularity are travel books, biographies and memoirs. These tell us tales of
places we have not seen and of great men in whom we are interested. Some of
these books are as wonderful as novels, and they have an added value that they
are true. Such books give us knowledge, and we also find immense pleasure in
knowing details of lands we have not seen and of great men we have only heard
of.
Reading is one of
the greatest enjoyments of life. To book-lovers, nothing is more fascinating
than a favorite book. And, the ordinary educated man who is interested and
absorbed in his daily occupation wants to occasionally escape from his drudgery
into the wonderland of books for recreation and refreshment.

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 16 to 23.
The system of
higher education had its origin in Europe in the Middle Ages, when the first
universities were established. In modern times, the nature of higher education
around the world, to some extent, has been determined by the models of
influential countries such as France and Germany.
Both France and
Germany have systems of higher education that are basically administered by
state agencies. Entrance requirements for students are also similar in both
countries. In France, an examination called the baccalauréat is given at the
end of secondary education. Higher education in France is free and open to all
students who have passed this baccalauréat. Success in this examination allows
students to continue their higher education for another three or four years
until they have attained the first university degree called a licence in
France.
Basic
differences, however, distinguish these two countries’ systems. French
educational districts, called académies, are under the direction of a rector,
an appointee of the national government who is also in charge of universities
in each district. The uniformity in curriculum throughout the country leaves
each university with little to distinguish itself. Hence, many students prefer to
go to Paris, where there are better accommodations and more cultural amenities
for them. Another difference is the existence in France of prestigious higher
educational institutions known as grandes écoles, which provide advanced
professional and technical training. Most of these schools are not affiliated
with the universities, although they too recruit their students by giving
competitive examinations to candidates. The grandes écoles provide rigorous
training in all branches of applied science and technology, and their diplomas
have a somewhat higher standing than the ordinary licence.
In Germany, the
regional universities have autonomy in determining their curriculum under the
direction of rectors elected from within. Students in Germany change universities
according to their interests and the strengths of each university. In fact, it
is a custom for students to attend two, three, or even four different
universities in the course of their undergraduate studies, and the majority of
professors at a particular university may have taught in four or five others.
This high degree of mobility means that schemes of study and examination are
marked by a freedom and individuality unknown in France.
France and Germany
have greatly influenced higher education systems around the world. The French,
either through colonial influence or the work of missionaries, introduced many
aspects of their system in other countries. The German were the first to stress
the importance of universities as research facilities, and they also created a
sense of them as emblems of a national mind.

end of secondary education. Higher education in France is free and open to all
students who have passed this baccalauréat. Success in this examination allows students
to continue their higher education for another three or four years until they
have attained the first university degree called a licence in France.
Basic
differences, however, distinguish these two countries’ systems. French
educational districts, called académies, are under the direction of a rector,
an appointee of the national government who is also in charge of universities
in each district. The uniformity in curriculum throughout the country leaves
each university with little to distinguish itself. Hence, many students prefer
to go to Paris, where there are better accommodations and more cultural
amenities for them. Another difference is the existence in France of
prestigious higher educational institutions known as grandes écoles, which provide
advanced professional and technical training. Most of these schools are not
affiliated with the universities, although they too recruit their students by
giving competitive examinations to candidates. The grandes écoles provide
rigorous training in all branches of applied science and technology, and their
diplomas have a somewhat higher standing than the ordinary licence.
In Germany, the
regional universities have autonomy in determining their curriculum under the
direction of rectors elected from within. Students in Germany change
universities according to their interests and the strengths of each university.
In fact, it is a custom for students to attend two, three, or even four
different universities in the course of their undergraduate studies, and the
majority of professors at a particular university may have taught in four or
five others. This high degree of mobility means that schemes of study and
examination are marked by a freedom and individuality unknown in France.
France and Germany
have greatly influenced higher education systems around the world. The French,
either through colonial influence or the work of missionaries, introduced many
aspects of their system in other countries. The German were the first to stress
the importance of universities as research facilities, and they also created a
sense of them as emblems of a national mind.

The system of
higher education had its origin in Europe in the Middle Ages, when the first
universities were established. In modern times, the nature of higher education
around the world, to some extent, has been determined by the models of
influential countries such as France and Germany.
Both France and
Germany have systems of higher education that are basically administered by
state agencies. Entrance requirements for students are also similar in both
countries. In France, an examination called the baccalauréat is given at the
end of secondary education. Higher education in France is free and open to all
students who have passed this baccalauréat. Success in this examination allows
students to continue their higher education for another three or four years
until they have attained the first university degree called a licence in

GOOD FRIENDS
Psychologists
have long known that having a set of cherished companions is crucial to mental
well-being. A recent study by
Australian investigators concluded that our friends even help to
...(20)... our lives. The study concentrated ...(21)... the social environment,
general health, and lifestyle of 1,477 persons older than 70 years. The
participants were asked how much contact they had with friends, children,
relatives and acquaintances.
Researchers were
surprised to learn that friendships increased life ...(22)... to a far greater
extent than frequent contact with children and other relatives. This benefit
held true even after these friends had moved away to another city and was
independent of factors such as socioeconomic status, health, and way of life.
According to scientists, the ability to have relationships with people to
...(23)... one is important has a positive effect on physical and mental
health.
Stress and
tendency towards depression are reduced, and behaviours that are damaging to
health, such as smoking and drinking, occur less frequently. ...(24)..., our
support networks, in times of calamity in particular, can raise our moods and
feelings of self-worth and offer helpful strategies for dealing with difficult
personal challenges.

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 25 to 31.
We get great
pleasure from reading. The more advanced a man is, the greater delight he will
find in reading. The ordinary man may think that subjects like philosophy or
science are very difficult and that if philosophers and scientists read these subjects,
it is not for pleasure. But this is not true. The mathematician finds the same
pleasure in his mathematics as the school boy in an adventure story. For both,
it is a play of the imagination, a mental recreation and exercise.
The pleasure
derived from this activity is common to all kinds of reading. But different
types of books give us different types of pleasure. First in order of
popularity is novel-reading. Novels contain pictures of imaginary people in
imaginary situations, and give us an opportunity of escaping into a new world
very much like our world and yet different from it. Here we seem to live a new
life, and the experience of this new life gives us a thrill of pleasure.
Next in order of
popularity are travel books, biographies and memoirs. These tell us tales of
places we have not seen and of great men in whom we are interested. Some of
these books are as wonderful as novels, and they have an added value that they
are true. Such books give us knowledge, and we also find immense pleasure in
knowing details of lands we have not seen and of great men we have only heard
of.
Reading is one of
the greatest enjoyments of life. To book-lovers, nothing is more fascinating
than a favorite book. And, the ordinary educated man who is interested and
absorbed in his daily occupation wants to occasionally escape from his drudgery
into the wonderland of books for recreation and refreshment.

D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
from 26 to 33.
The system of
higher education had its origin in Europe in the Middle Ages, when the first
universities were established. In modern times, the nature of higher education
around the world, to some extent, has been determined by the models of
influential countries such as France and Germany.
Both France and
Germany have systems of higher education that are basically administered by
state agencies. Entrance requirements for students are also similar in both
countries. In France, an examination called the baccalauréat is given at the
end of secondary education. Higher education in France is free and open to all
students who have passed this baccalauréat. Success in this examination allows
students to continue their higher education for another three or four years
until they have attained the first university degree called a licence in
France.
Basic
differences, however, distinguish these two countries’ systems. French
educational districts, called académies, are under the direction of a rector,
an appointee of the national government who is also in charge of universities
in each district. The uniformity in curriculum throughout the country leaves
each university with little to distinguish itself. Hence, many students prefer
to go to Paris, where there are better accommodations and more cultural
amenities for them. Another difference is the existence in France of
prestigious higher educational institutions known as grandes écoles, which
provide advanced professional and technical training. Most of these schools are
not affiliated with the universities, although they too recruit their students
by giving competitive examinations to candidates. The grandes écoles provide
rigorous training in all branches of applied science and technology, and their
diplomas have a somewhat higher standing than the ordinary licence.
In Germany, the
regional universities have autonomy in determining their curriculum under the
direction of rectors elected from within. Students in Germany change
universities according to their interests and the strengths of each university.
In fact, it is a custom for students to attend two, three, or even four
different universities in the course of their undergraduate studies, and the
majority of professors at a particular university may have taught in four or
five others. This high degree of mobility means that schemes of study and
examination are marked by a freedom and individuality unknown in France.
France and Germany
have greatly influenced higher education systems around the world. The French,
either through colonial influence or the work of missionaries, introduced many
aspects of their system in other countries. The German were the first to stress
the importance of universities as research facilities, and they also created a
sense of them as emblems of a national mind.

GOOD FRIENDS
Psychologists
have long known that having a set of cherished companions is crucial to mental
well-being. A recent study by
Australian investigators concluded that our friends even help to
...(3)... our lives. The study concentrated ...(4)... the social environment,
general health, and lifestyle of 1,477 persons older than 70 years. The participants
were asked how much contact they had with friends, children, relatives and
acquaintances.
Researchers were
surprised to learn that friendships increased life ...(5)... to a far greater
extent than frequent contact with children and other relatives. This benefit
held true even after these friends had moved away to another city and was
independent of factors such as socioeconomic status, health, and way of life.
According to scientists, the ability to have relationships with people to
...(6)... one is important has a positive effect on physical and mental health.
Stress and
tendency towards depression are reduced, and behaviours that are damaging to
health, such as smoking and drinking, occur less frequently. ...(7)..., our
support networks, in times of calamity in particular, can raise our moods and
feelings of self-worth and offer helpful strategies for dealing with difficult
personal challenges.

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 08 to 14.
We get great
pleasure from reading. The more advanced a man is, the greater delight he will
find in reading. The ordinary man may think that subjects like philosophy or
science are very difficult and that if philosophers and scientists read these
subjects, it is not for pleasure. But this is not true. The mathematician finds
the same pleasure in his mathematics as the school boy in an adventure story.
For both, it is a play of the imagination, a mental recreation and exercise.
The pleasure
derived from this activity is common to all kinds of reading. But different
types of books give us different types of pleasure. First in order of
popularity is novel-reading. Novels contain pictures of imaginary people in
imaginary situations, and give us an opportunity of escaping into a new world
very much like our world and yet different from it. Here we seem to live a new
life, and the experience of this new life gives us a thrill of pleasure.
Next in order of
popularity are travel books, biographies and memoirs. These tell us tales of
places we have not seen and of great men in whom we are interested. Some of
these books are as wonderful as novels, and they have an added value that they
are true. Such books give us knowledge, and we also find immense pleasure in
knowing details of lands we have not seen and of great men we have only heard
of.
Reading is one of
the greatest enjoyments of life. To book-lovers, nothing is more fascinating
than a favorite book. And, the ordinary educated man who is interested and
absorbed in his daily occupation wants to occasionally escape from his drudgery
into the wonderland of books for recreation and refreshment.

GOOD FRIENDS
Psychologists
have long known that having a set of cherished companions is crucial to mental
well-being. A recent study by
Australian investigators concluded that our friends even help to
...(19)... our lives. The study concentrated ...(20)... the social environment,
general health, and lifestyle of 1,477 persons older than 70 years. The
participants were asked how much contact they had with friends, children,
relatives and acquaintances.
Researchers were
surprised to learn that friendships increased life ...(21)... to a far greater
extent than frequent contact with children and other relatives. This benefit
held true even after these friends had moved away to another city and was
independent of factors such as socioeconomic status, health, and way of life.
According to scientists, the ability to have relationships with people to
...(22)... one is important has a positive effect on physical and mental
health.
Stress and
tendency towards depression are reduced, and behaviours that are damaging to
health, such as smoking and drinking, occur less frequently. ...(23)..., our
support networks, in times of calamity in particular, can raise our moods and
feelings of self-worth and offer helpful strategies for dealing with difficult
personal challenges.

from 24 to 31.
The system of
higher education had its origin in Europe in the Middle Ages, when the first
universities were established. In modern times, the nature of higher education
around the world, to some extent, has been determined by the models of
influential countries such as France and Germany.
Both France and
Germany have systems of higher education that are basically administered by
state agencies. Entrance requirements for students are also similar in both
countries. In France, an examination called the baccalauréat is given at the
end of secondary education. Higher education in France is free and open to all
students who have passed this baccalauréat. Success in this examination allows
students to continue their higher education for another three or four years
until they have attained the first university degree called a licence in France.
Basic
differences, however, distinguish these two countries’ systems. French
educational districts, called académies, are under the direction of a rector,
an appointee of the national government who is also in charge of universities
in each district. The uniformity in curriculum throughout the country leaves
each university with little to distinguish itself. Hence, many students prefer
to go to Paris, where there are better accommodations and more cultural
amenities for them. Another difference is the existence in France of
prestigious higher educational institutions known as grandes écoles, which
provide advanced professional and technical training. Most of these schools are
not affiliated with the universities, although they too recruit their students by
giving competitive examinations to candidates. The grandes écoles provide
rigorous training in all branches of applied science and technology, and their
diplomas have a somewhat higher standing than the ordinary licence.
In Germany, the
regional universities have autonomy in determining their curriculum under the
direction of rectors elected from within. Students in Germany change
universities according to their interests and the strengths of each university.
In fact, it is a custom for students to attend two, three, or even four
different universities in the course of their undergraduate studies, and the
majority of professors at a particular university may have taught in four or
five others. This high degree of mobility means that schemes of study and
examination are marked by a freedom and individuality unknown in France.
France and Germany
have greatly influenced higher education systems around the world. The French,
either through colonial influence or the work of missionaries, introduced many
aspects of their system in other countries. The German were the first to stress
the importance of universities as research facilities, and they also created a
sense of them as emblems of a national mind.

from 34 to 40.
We get great
pleasure from reading. The more advanced a man is, the greater delight he will
find in reading. The ordinary man may think that subjects like philosophy or
science are very difficult and that if philosophers and scientists read these
subjects, it is not for pleasure. But this is not true. The mathematician finds
the same pleasure in his mathematics as the school boy in an adventure story.
For both, it is a play of the imagination, a mental recreation and exercise.
The pleasure
derived from this activity is common to all kinds of reading. But different
types of books give us different types of pleasure. First in order of
popularity is novel-reading. Novels contain pictures of imaginary people in
imaginary situations, and give us an opportunity of escaping into a new world
very much like our world and yet different from it. Here we seem to live a new
life, and the experience of this new life gives us a thrill of pleasure.
Next in order of
popularity are travel books, biographies and memoirs. These tell us tales of
places we have not seen and of great men in whom we are interested. Some of
these books are as wonderful as novels, and they have an added value that they
are true. Such books give us knowledge, and we also find immense pleasure in
knowing details of lands we have not seen and of great men we have only heard
of.
Reading is one of
the greatest enjoyments of life. To book-lovers, nothing is more fascinating
than a favorite book. And, the ordinary educated man who is interested and
absorbed in his daily occupation wants to occasionally escape from his drudgery
into the wonderland of books for recreation and refreshment.
