I chose to wander by Bethlehem Hospital; partly, because it lay on my road round to Westminster; partly,
because I had a fancy in my head which could be best pursued within sight of its walls. And the fancy was: Are
not the sane and the insane equal at night as the sane lie a dreaming? Are not all of us outside this hospital, who
dream, more or less in the condition of those inside it, every night of our lives? Are we not nightly persuaded, as
they daily are, that we associate preposterously with kings and queens, and notabilities of all sorts? Do we not
nightly jumble events and personages and times and places, as these do daily? Said an afflicted man to me,
when I visited a hospital like this, ‘Sir, I can frequently fly.’ I was half ashamed to reflect that so could I - by night.
I wonder that the great master, when he called Sleep the death of each day’s life, did not call Dreams the
insanity of each day’s sanity.

1. It can be correctly inferred that Bethlehem hospital

I is very close to Westminster
II has patients who are regarded as insane
III is a place the author has visited before

A. I only
B. II only
C. III only
D. I and II
E. I, II and III

2. The author makes his point with the aid of all of the following except

A. rhetorical questions
B. personal anecdote
C. allusion
D. frequent use of metaphor
E. repetition and parallel construction

Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economic causes: it is not due
simply to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the
original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take to
drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather
the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts
are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.

3. The example of the man who takes to drink is used to illustrate which of the following ideas in the paragraph?

A. foolish thoughts
B. the slovenliness of language
C. political and economic causes
D. an effect becoming a cause
E. bad influences

4.​ The author would most likely agree that

A. individual writers can never have a bad influence on the English language
B. imprecise use of language is likely to make precise thought more difficult
C. the English language is ugly and inaccurate
D. all language declines for political reasons
E. failure generally leads to more failure in a downward spiral

Paragraph one. All the sound reasons ever given for conserving other natural resources apply to the
conservation of wildlife – and with three-fold power. When a spendthrift squanders his capital it is lost to him and
his heirs; yet it goes somewhere else. When a nation allows any one kind of natural resource to be squandered it
must suffer a real, positive loss; yet substitutes of another kind can generally be found. But when wildlife is
squandered it does not go elsewhere, like squandered money; it cannot possibly be replaced by any substitute,
as some inorganic resources are: it is simply an absolute, dead loss, gone beyond even the hope of recall.

Paragraph two​. The public still has a hazy idea that Nature has an overflowing sanctuary of her own,
somewhere or other, which will fill up the gaps automatically. The result is that poaching is commonly regarded
as a venial offence, poachers taken red-handed are rarely punished, and willing ears are always lent to the cry
that rich sportsmen are trying to take the bread out of the poor settler's mouth. The poor settler does not reflect
that he himself, and all other classes alike, really have a common interest in the conservation of any wildlife that
does not conflict with legitimate human development.

5. The author of paragraph one probably uses the expression ‘three-fold power’
A. because there are three-times as many reasons for conserving wildlife​
B. to be more dramatic that saying “double-power”
C. to emphasize the contrast between loss of money, loss of other resources, and loss of wildlife
D. to stress the need for saving money, resources and time
 E. to indicate the magnitude of the problem without intending the expression to be taken literally

6. From the context, the word ‘venial’ in paragraph two most nearly means

A. major
B. criminal
C. frequent
D. trivial
E. natural

7. Both paragraphs apparently imply that

A. there is no source from which wildlife, once exterminated, can be replaced

B. poachers must be punished
C. wildlife has much in common with other natural resources
D. conservation is in conflict with human development
E. preserving wildlife is expensive

8. It can be inferred that the spendthrift in paragraph one and the poor settler mentioned in paragraph two are
alike in that they are

A. in conflict with the aims of conservation

B. inclined to waste natural resources
C. more concerned with the present than the future
D. unable to control their spending
E. unaware of conservation

II. Write a little summary about ​Anne Frank

anne frank's diary is her memoir, wich tell us how to the jewish people were persecuted by the germans, the
parents of ana frank gave him his diary at the age of 13, and in the first , she told us her everyday life that a
normal student, after the second world war began and she and her family were forced to find another place to
live , and in that place they lived, and with other people, she fell in love with a boy over time. in the end the
germans found to her and her so they took them to the concentration camps.

III. Translate and send me (photo) to institutional email.

elegí pasear por el hospital Bethlehem; en parte, porque estaba en mi camino a Westminster; en parte, porque
tenia una fantasia en mi cabeza que se podía perseguir mejor a la vista de sus paredes. Y la fantasía era:
¿no son iguales los cuerdos y los locos por la noche como los cuerdos son un sueño? ¿no estamos todos
fuera de este hospital, que soñamos, más o menos en la condición de los que están dentro de él, todas las
noches de nuestras vidas? ¿no estamos persuadidos todas las noches, como lo están todos los días, de que
asociamos absurdamente con reyes y reinas, y notabilidades de todo tipo? ¿ no mezclamos eventos
nocturnos y personajes y tiempos y lugares, como lo hacen todos los días? me dijo un hombre afligido
cuando visite un hospital como este: “señor, puedo volar con frecuencia”. me daba vergüenza pensar que yo
tambien podria hacerlo … de noche. me pregunto qué el gran maestro, cuando llamo a sleep la muerte de la
vida de cada dia, no llamo a dreams la locura de la cordura de cada dia.
