SECTION A

MODULE 1 — GATHERING AND PROCESSING INFORMATION

1. Read the following extract carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

Oil prices stalled in their climb toward US$100 a barrel yesterday after a government
report said oil inventories fell less than expected last week while refinery utilization remained
flat.

Oil investors largely viewed the report as neutral in that it confirmed a view that oil
supplies are falling, but offered no real surprises. A larger than expected drop would have likely
propelled
5 oil prices past $100 a barrel for the first time.

Crude inventories did fall at the closely-watched New York Mercantile Exchange
delivery terminal in Cushing, Oklahoma, but that did not appear to be enough to propel prices
sharply higher.

“We got kind of a mixed reaction,” said Phil Flynn, an analyst at Alaron Trading Corp. in
10 Chicago.

Some analysts think oil prices have far outpaced levels that are justified by the
underlying principles of supply and demand. These analysts blame market speculators for
pushing crude prices to record levels, and predict that a correction, or sharp decline, is
imminent.

“At some point, the market does actually discount the bullish possibilities,” said Tim
15 Evans, an analyst at Citigroup Inc., in New York. “That risk of exhaustion is very present here.”

A separate report yesterday by the International Energy Agency (IEA) warning of an oil
supply crunch by 2015 was not enough to send prices higher. The IEA concluded that growing
demand for energy in China and India will boost the world’s oil needs by more than 50 per cent
by 2030.

20 Light, sweet crude for December delivery fell by $1.69 to $95.01 a barrel on the
Nymex. Before the report’s release, prices rose as high as $98.62, a new record.

December gasoline futures fell by 3.0 cents to $2.405 a gallon on the Nymex, and
December heating oil futures fell 2.2 cents to $2.5858 a gallon. December natural gas futures
fell 25.6 cents to $7.607 per 1,000 cubic feet on expectations that inventories rose last week and
on forecasts for
25 warmer weather in the Midwest and Northeast.

In London, December Brent crude fell by $1.10 cents to $92.16 a barrel.

SECTION B

MODULE 2 — LANGUAGE AND COMMUNITY

2. Read the following poem carefully and then answer the question that follows.

This and That

Ah once met ah English poet,

Ah West Indian ... yu
understan’,
One ah dose who always claimin;
How, “We take over de Motherlan’ ”
5 We was both waitin’ on taxi,
An’ dis man nearly get me
mad,
Because jus’ so he start discussin’,
Culture in Trinidad.
Well, I tell him ah was ah poet,
10 An’ how ah does use de vernacular,
Well you would ah swear dat I cuss dis man
Or insult he granmudder.
Dat man start talkin’ language,
Like he wukkin’ BBC,
Or he head de English Department
At we University.

If yu hear him.

This dialect you fellows talk about,

It really has to go,
20 You’re all just Neo-colonials,
An embarassment to us who know.
Such a limited language,
If language is the word,
It seems more like garbled English,
25 The worst I have ever heard.
English is now our language,
It’s no longer the Englishman’s,
Like cricket, we now control it,
Do try to understand.
30 Why should one preserve this dialect,
So frivolous, it’s just a fad,
Always changing, no vocab,
It’s simply speaking ‘bad’.
It isn’t even standardised,

35 It goes each and every way,

Some call it ‘native language’.
The ‘vernacular’ others say.
What use is speaking dialect
When you have to go abroad?
Or speak at some great conference?
They won’t make out a word.
You chaps mislead the people,
By holding up on high,
A base part of our culture,
45 That should be quietly left to die.
Think of names like Milton,
Prospero or Caliban,
Think of William Shakespeare,
That’s the heights of language man.
50 But what’s this ‘dis’, and ‘dat’, and ‘dem’
Unless it’s just for style,
And if it’s just for impact,
It’s hardly worth the while.
Take myself for instance,
55 I’ve got my PhD,
I can tell the world ‘bout English,
At University.
I’ve got Roget’s Thesaurus,
I’ve got my “Book of Quotes”,
60 You will never hear me use such
words, As ‘wassy’1, ‘scrunt", or
‘jorts’3.

When you run from dialect,

Is you runnin’ from you,
So de answer is de ‘maxim’,
65 To thine own self be true.
So I dont worry take dem on,
I jus’ waitin’ to see,
When dey find out who dey are
Or who dey want to be.
70 For dialect dont bother dem,
Is dem dat bother it,
Because dialect, it livin’ ‘home’,
Is dem dat have to fit.
Paul Keens-Douglas

'wassy — to get in a wild and uncontrollable manner

2
scrunt — woman of ill repute
jorts — shorts worn by people of ill repute
