VIII. 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 30 to 36.
Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or accident
does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the graying of the
hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in
hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat. Plants age too, but the signs are much harder to detect.
Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood. They reach their peak at the time
of maturity, or early adulthood. After that, they begin to decline. Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and more
brittle. In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible. This can make moving very painful.
All the major organs of the body show signs of aging. The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and even gets smaller
in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old people often have trouble in remembering recent events.
One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the heart. They become
thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body. This condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for

many of the diseases of the aged. It may, for example, result in heart attack.
Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at different rates. There are great differences among
people in their rate of aging. Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age. The majority of cells are capable of
reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime. Nerve cells and muscle fibres can never be replaced once
they wear out.
Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging - believe this wearing out of the body is controlled by a built-in
biological time-clock. They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the process. This could
give man a longer life and a great number of productive years.

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 00 to 00.
Etymologically, anthropology is the science of humans. In fact, however, it is only one of the sciences of humans, bringing
together those disciplines the common aims of which are to describe human beings and explain them on the basis of the
biological and cultural characteristics of the populations among which they are distributed and to emphasize, through time,
the differences and variations ofthese populations. The concept of race, on the one hand, and that of culture, on the other,
have received special attention; and although their meaning is still subject to debate, these terms are doubtless the most
common of those in the anthropologist's vocabulary.
Anthropology, which is concerned with the study of human differences, was born after the Age of Discovery had opened up
societies that had remained outside the technological civilization of the modern West. In fact, the field of research was at first
restricted to those societies that had been given one unsatisfactory label after another, "savage," "primitive," "tribal",
"traditional" or even "proliferate," "prehistorical" and so on. What such societies had in common, above all, was being the
most "different" or the most foreign to the anthropologist; and in the early phases of anthropology, the anthropologists were
always European or North American. The distance between the researcher and the object of his study has been a characteristic
of anthropological research; it has been said of the anthropologist that he was the “astronomer of the sciences of man."

Anthropologists today study more than just primitive societies. Their research extends not only to village communities
within modern societies but also to cities, even to industrial enterprises. Nevertheless, anthropology’s first field of research,
and the one that perhaps remains the most important, shaped its specifc point of view with regard to the other sciences of man
and defined its theme. If, in particular, it is concerned with generalizing about patterns of human behaviour seen in all their
dimensions and with achieving a total description of social and cultural phenomena, this is because anthropology has
observed small-scale societies, which are simpler or at least more homogeneous than modern societies and which change at a
slower pace. Thus, they are easier to see whole.
What has just been said refers especially to the branch of anthropology concerned with the cultural characteristics of man?
Anthropology has, in fact, gradually divided itself into two major spheres, the study of man’s biological characteristics and
the study of his cultural characteristics. The reasons for this split are manifold, one being the rejection of the initial mistakes
regarding correlations between race and culture. More generally speaking, the vast field of 19 th century anthropology was
subdivided into a series of increasingly specialized disciplines, using their own methods and techniques that were given
different labels according to national traditions.
Question 42: It is mentioned in the passage that the split of anthropology into two major areas is partly due to.....
A. more knowledge to be gained
B. the development of the sciences of humans
C. the interpretation of race and culture
D. the development of modem anthropology
Question 43: According to the passage, modern anthropologist study......
A. both primitive and modern societies
B. both communities and modern societies
C. only modern industrial enterprises
D. only primitive and tribal societies
Question 44: According to the passage, anthropology is most likely defined as the study of.....
A. the biological and cultural characteristics of human beings vocabulary.
B. the lives of peoples all over the world
C. one of the sciences of humans
D. the distribution of human beings the world over
Question 45: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Anthropology has been subdivided into specialized disciplines



B. Anthropology gives special attention to the concept of race
C. Anthropology is concerned with the study of human differences.
D. Anthropologists are agreed on the meaning of race and culture.
Question 46: The phrase "first field of research" in paragraph 3 most likely refers to the study of.......
A. primitive societies
B. industrial societies
C. modern societies
D. large societies
Question 47: It can be inferred from the passage that anthropology was first developed in......
A. some primitive societies
B. some prehistoric societies
C. Some tribal societies
D. Europe and North America
Question 48: It is mentioned in the passage that anthropology began to divide into various disciplines in.....
A. the 19th century
B. the Age of Discovery
C. prehistoric
D. the 20th century
Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that best combines each pair of sentences
in the following questions.
Question 49: I can’t find the letter anywhere. I'm sure someone has thrown it away.
A. I can’t find the letter anywhere since it must have been thrown away.
B. I can’t find the letter anywhere, so it was sure to have been thrown away.
C. I can’t find the letter anywhere, for it has been thrown away.
D. I can’t find the letter anywhere because it must be thrown away.
Question 50: He loved her so much. He didn’t forgive her for what she had done.
A. He’d forgiven her for what she had done as he loved her much.
B. Much as he loved her, he didn’t forgive her for what she had done.

C. She didn’t love him as much as he loved her.
D. He didn’t forgive her for what she had done because she didn’t love him as much.

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 30 to 36.
Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or accident
does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the graying of the
hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in
hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat. Plants age too, but the signs are much harder to detect.
Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood. They reach their peak at the time
of maturity, or early adulthood. After that, they begin to decline. Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and more
brittle. In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible. This can make moving very painful.
All the major organs of the body show signs of aging. The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and even gets smaller
in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old people often have trouble in remembering recent events.
One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the heart. They become
thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body. This condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for
many of the diseases of the aged. It may, for example, result in heart attack.
Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at different rates. There are great differences among
people in their rate of aging. Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age. The majority of cells are capable of
reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime. Nerve cells and muscle fibres can never be replaced once
they wear out.
Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging - believe this wearing out of the body is controlled by a built-in
biological time-clock. They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the process. This could
give man a longer life and a great number of productive years.
Question 30: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. The outward signs of aging may be seen in old people.
B. Signs of aging are easier to detect in animals than in plants.
C. Aging occurs in every living thing after it has reached maturity.
D. Not all signs of aging are visible.
Question 31: All of the followings may be the outward signs of aging EXCEPT.......
A. the loss of appetite
B. the decline in hearing and eyesight
C. the wrinkling of the skin

D. the graying of the hair
Question 32: The word “brittle” as used in the second paragraph means........
A. rigid and inflexible
B. soft and easily bent
C. hard but easily broken
D. hard and endurable
Question 33: What does the word “it” in line 2 refer to?
A. aging
B. a living thing
C. an illness
D. an accident
Question 34: What happens to memorization when the brain begins to age?
A. It declines.
B. It slows down.
C. It works less.
D. It becomes forgetful.
Question 35: When does the human body begin to lose vigor and the ability to function efficiently?
A. Past middle age
B. During childhood
C. Early adulthood
D. Soon after reaching adulthood
Question 36: According to the passage, what condition is responsible for many of the diseases of the old?
A. the brain gets smaller in size.
B. the arteries have become thickened and constricted.
C. bones become lighter and brittle
D. the blood vessels lead from the heart.
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 37 to 43.
Etymologically, anthropology is the science of humans. In fact, however, it is only one of the sciences of humans, bringing
together those disciplines the common aims of which are to describe human beings and explain them on the basis of the

biological and cultural characteristics of the populations among which they are distributed and to emphasize, through time,


the differences and variations ofthese populations. The concept of race, on the one hand, and that of culture, on the other,
have received special attention; and although their meaning is still subject to debate, these terms are doubtless the most
common of those in the anthropologist's vocabulary.
Anthropology, which is concerned with the study of human differences, was born after the Age of Discovery had opened up
societies that had remained outside the technological civilization of the modern West. In fact, the field of research was at first
restricted to those societies that had been given one unsatisfactory label after another, "savage," "primitive," "tribal",
"traditional" or even "proliferate," "prehistorical" and so on. What such societies had in common, above all, was being the
most "different" or the most foreign to the anthropologist; and in the early phases of anthropology, the anthropologists were
always European or North American. The distance between the researcher and the object of his study has been a characteristic
of anthropological research; it has been said of the anthropologist that he was the “astronomer of the sciences of man."
Anthropologists today study more than just primitive societies. Their research extends not only to village communities
within modern societies but also to cities, even to industrial enterprises. Nevertheless, anthropology’s first field of research,
and the one that perhaps remains the most important, shaped its specifc point of view with regard to the other sciences of man
and defined its theme. If, in particular, it is concerned with generalizing about patterns of human behaviour seen in all their
dimensions and with achieving a total description of social and cultural phenomena, this is because anthropology has
observed small-scale societies, which are simpler or at least more homogeneous than modern societies and which change at a
slower pace. Thus, they are easier to see whole.
What has just been said refers especially to the branch of anthropology concerned with the cultural characteristics of man?
Anthropology has, in fact, gradually divided itself into two major spheres, the study of man’s biological characteristics and
the study of his cultural characteristics. The reasons for this split are manifold, one being the rejection of the initial mistakes
regarding correlations between race and culture. More generally speaking, the vast field of 19 th century anthropology was
subdivided into a series of increasingly specialized disciplines, using their own methods and techniques that were given
different labels according to national traditions.
Question 37: It is mentioned in the passage that anthropology began to divide into various disciplines in.....

A. large societies
B. primitive societies
C. modern societies
D. industrial societies
Question 39: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Anthropology is concerned with the study of human differences.
B. Anthropology gives special attention to the concept of race
C. Anthropology has been subdivided into specialized disciplines
D. Anthropologists are agreed on the meaning of race and culture.
Question 40: According to the passage, anthropology is most likely defined as the study of.....
A. one of the sciences of humans
B. the biological and cultural characteristics of human beings vocabulary.
C. the lives of peoples all over the world
D. the distribution of human beings the world over
Question 41: It can be inferred from the passage that anthropology was first developed in......
A. Some tribal societies
B. some prehistoric societies
C. some primitive societies

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 31 to 37.
Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or accident
does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the graying of the
hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in
hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat. Plants age too, but the signs are much harder to detect.
Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood. They reach their peak at the time
of maturity, or early adulthood. After that, they begin to decline. Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and more
brittle. In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible. This can make moving very painful.

All the major organs of the body show signs of aging. The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and even gets smaller
in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old people often have trouble in remembering recent events.
One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the heart. They become
thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body. This condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for
many of the diseases of the aged. It may, for example, result in heart attack.
Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at different rates. There are great differences among
people in their rate of aging. Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age. The majority of cells are capable of
reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime. Nerve cells and muscle fibres can never be replaced once
they wear out.
Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging - believe this wearing out of the body is controlled by a built-in
biological time-clock. They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the process. This could
give man a longer life and a great number of productive years.
Question 31: What does the word “it” in line 2 refer to?
A. a living thing
B. an illness
C. an accident
D. aging
Question 32: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. The outward signs of aging may be seen in old people.
B. Signs of aging are easier to detect in animals than in plants.
C. Aging occurs in every living thing after it has reached maturity.
D. Not all signs of aging are visible.
Question 33: When does the human body begin to lose vigor and the ability to function efficiently?
A. Early adulthood
B. Past middle age


C. During childhood
D. Soon after reaching adulthood
Question 34: All of the followings may be the outward signs of aging EXCEPT.......

A. the decline in hearing and eyesight
B. the wrinkling of the skin
C. the loss of appetite
D. the graying of the hair
Question 35: The word “brittle” as used in the second paragraph means........
A. hard and endurable
B. hard but easily broken
C. rigid and inflexible
D. soft and easily bent

A. It works less.
B. It becomes forgetful.
C. It declines.
D. It slows down.
Question 37: According to the passage, what condition is responsible for many of the diseases of the old?

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 38 to 44.
Etymologically, anthropology is the science of humans. In fact, however, it is only one of the sciences of humans, bringing
together those disciplines the common aims of which are to describe human beings and explain them on the basis of the
biological and cultural characteristics of the populations among which they are distributed and to emphasize, through time,
the differences and variations ofthese populations. The concept of race, on the one hand, and that of culture, on the other,
have received special attention; and although their meaning is still subject to debate, these terms are doubtless the most
common of those in the anthropologist's vocabulary.
Anthropology, which is concerned with the study of human differences, was born after the Age of Discovery had opened up
societies that had remained outside the technological civilization of the modern West. In fact, the field of research was at first
restricted to those societies that had been given one unsatisfactory label after another, "savage," "primitive," "tribal",

"traditional" or even "proliferate," "prehistorical" and so on. What such societies had in common, above all, was being the
most "different" or the most foreign to the anthropologist; and in the early phases of anthropology, the anthropologists were
always European or North American. The distance between the researcher and the object of his study has been a characteristic
of anthropological research; it has been said of the anthropologist that he was the “astronomer of the sciences of man."
Anthropologists today study more than just primitive societies. Their research extends not only to village communities
within modern societies but also to cities, even to industrial enterprises. Nevertheless, anthropology’s first field of research,
and the one that perhaps remains the most important, shaped its specifc point of view with regard to the other sciences of man
and defined its theme. If, in particular, it is concerned with generalizing about patterns of human behaviour seen in all their
dimensions and with achieving a total description of social and cultural phenomena, this is because anthropology has
observed small-scale societies, which are simpler or at least more homogeneous than modern societies and which change at a
slower pace. Thus, they are easier to see whole.
What has just been said refers especially to the branch of anthropology concerned with the cultural characteristics of man?
Anthropology has, in fact, gradually divided itself into two major spheres, the study of man’s biological characteristics and
the study of his cultural characteristics. The reasons for this split are manifold, one being the rejection of the initial mistakes
regarding correlations between race and culture. More generally speaking, the vast field of 19 th century anthropology was
subdivided into a series of increasingly specialized disciplines, using their own methods and techniques that were given
different labels according to national traditions.
Question 38: According to the passage, anthropology is most likely defined as the study of.....
A. the lives of peoples all over the world
B. one of the sciences of humans
C. the distribution of human beings the world over
D. the biological and cultural characteristics of human beings vocabulary.
Question 39: The phrase "first field of research" in paragraph 3 most likely refers to the study of.......
A. primitive societies
B. large societies
C. modern societies
D. industrial societies
Question 40: According to the passage, modern anthropologist study......
A. both communities and modern societies
B. only modern industrial enterprises

C. only primitive and tribal societies
D. both primitive and modern societies
Question 41: It is mentioned in the passage that anthropology began to divide into various disciplines in.....
A. the 20th century
B. the 19th century
C. the Age of Discovery
D. prehistoric
