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
  A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker.
The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language,
communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance. A
person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant,
gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are
flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance. When
speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm. At
interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may
believe them. Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or
antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are .usually
discernible by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized
with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The motivation derived from the text,
and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to
create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication. Second, the
voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health. Self-
image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or
exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of
that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front. How a speaker perceives the
listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can drastically alter the tone of
presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free
and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic
qualities of the depressed.
Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The function of the voice in performance B. Communication styles
C. The connection between voice and personality D. The production of speech
Question 37: What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas

C. A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication.
D. Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas.
Question 38: The word "derived" is closest in meaning to ____________.
A. discussed B. prepared C. registered D. obtained
Question 39: Why does the author mention "artistic, political, or pedagogic communication"?
A. As examples of public performance B. As examples of basic styles of communication
C. To contrast them to singing D. To introduce the idea of self-image

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
Beads were probably the first durable ornaments humans possessed, and the intimate relationship
they had with their owners is reflected in the fact that beads are among the most common items found in
ancient archaeological sites. In the past, as today, men, women, and children adorned themselves with
beads. In some cultures, certain beads are often worn from birth until death, and then are buried with their
owners for the afterlife. Abrasion due to daily wear alters the surface features of beads, and if they are
buried for long, the effects of corrosion can further changed their appearance. Thus, interest is imparted to
the bead both by use and the effects of time.
Besides their wear ability, either as jewelry or incorporated into articles of attire, beads possess the
desirable characteristics of every collectible: they are durable, portable, available in infinite variety, and
often valuable in their original cultural context as well as in today's market. Pleasing to look at and touch,
beads come in shapes, colors, and materials that almost compel one to handle them and to sort them.
Beads are miniature bundles of secrets waiting to be revealed: their history, manufacture, cultural
context, economic role, and ornamental use are all points of information one hopes to unravel. Even the
most mundane beads may have traveled great distances and been exposed to many human experiences. The
bead researcher must gather information from many diverse fields. In addition to having to be a generalist
while specializing in what may seem to be a narrow field, the researcher is faced with the problem of
primary materials that have little or no documentation. Many ancient beads that are of ethnographic interest
have often been separated from their original cultural context.
The special attractions of beads contribute to the uniqueness of bead research. While often regarded
as the “small change of civilizations”, beads are a part of every culture, and they can often be used to date
archaeological sites and to designate the degree of mercantile, technological, and cultural sophistication.

A. Materials used in making beads B. How beads are made
C. The reasons for studying beads D. Different types of beads

beads EXCEPT the ____________.
A. shape B. color C. material D. odor
Question 47. The word “unravel” is closest in meaning to
