see or hear. How different our own life is! Sight shows us the ground beneath our
feet and the heavens above us the sun, the moon, and stars, shooting stars,
lightning, and the sunset. It shows us day and night. We are able to hear voices, the
sound of the sea, and music. We feel, we taste, we smell. How fortunate we are!
Judging from this passage, we can say that this story is mainly about
______________________. a. How changes in the seasons are perceived by the deepsea creatures b. The superiority of human beings over some creatures in terms of
senses c. Life of sea creatures at the bottom of the sea d. The differences among

sleeper, for there is no sound around to hear d. Someone who lives where there are

enforce the standards of conduct necessary to protect individuals and the
community. It operates by apprehending, prosecuting, convicting, sentencing these
members of the community who violate the basic rules of group existence. The
action taken against law breakers is designed to serve three purposes beyond the
immediately punitive one. It removes dangerous people from the community; it
deters others from criminal behavior and it gives society an opportunity to attempt
to transform lawbreakers into law -abiding citizens. We understand from the
passage that the basic aim of criminal justice is ___________________. a. Educate
lawbreakers b. To define socially accepted behavior c. To renew, as necessary, the
traditions and customs of society d. The protection of society and its individuals 45.

justice system is to _________________. a. Investigate the reasons behind criminal
behavior b. Take immediate action against the community c. Prevent the
enforcement of capital punishment d. Give guidelines for group existence 47. The
poetic expressiveness and creativity of Japanese women poets of the Manyoshu era
is generally regarded as a manifestation of the freedom and relatively high political
and economic status women of that era enjoyed. During the Heian Period (A.D. 794
1185) which followed, Japanese women became increasingly relegated to
domestic roles under the influence of Buddhism and Confucianism, which excluded
women from the political and economic arenas. Yet, since poetry of the period came
to be defined solely as short lyrical poetry, known as waka, and became the
prevailing means of expressing love, women continued to excel in and play a central
role in the development of classical Japanese poetry. Moreover, while official
Japanese documents were written in Chinese, the phonetic alphabet kana was used
for poetry. Also referred to as onna moji (womens letter), kana was not deemed
sufficiently sophisticated for use by Japanese men, who continued to write Chinese
poetry, increasingly for expressing religious ideas and as an intellectual pastime.
Chinese poetry ultimately yielded, then, to waka as the mainstream of Japanese
poetry. Based on the passage, mainstream Japanese poetry of the Heian period can
best be described as ___________________. a. More refined than the poetry of the
Manyoshu era b. Sentimental in nature and lyrical in style c. Written primarily for a
female audience d. An outgrowth of Buddhism and Confucianism 48. (Refer to no.
47) which of the following statements about kana finds the LEAST support in the
passage? a. It was used in Japan after A.D. 793 b. It was considered inappropriate
for austere subject matter c. It was used primarily by Japanese women d. It was for
Japanese poetry but not for Japanese prose 49. (refer to no. 47) The authors
primary purpose in the passage is to ______________. a. Trace the influence of religion
on the development of Japanese poetry b. Refute a common explanation for the role
of women in the development of Japanese poetry c. Provide an explanation for the
role of women in the development of Japanese poetry d. Identify the reasons for the
popularity of a distinct form of literary expression in Japan 50. The song No Man is
