On the evening of August 8th, 1915, forty-eight hours after
the attack against the Turks had begun, the Allies had
reached none of their main objectives. The Suvla plan,
which was a good plan theoretically, had failed because
the wrong commanders and soldiers had been employed.
At Anzac, on the other hand, the best officers and men
were employed on a plan that would not work. Both
attacks had been hindered from the start by the difficulties
of advancing through a strange country during the night
while the Turks were massing for an assault. So the Allies
were thrown back to their own trenches with heavy
casualties and nothing gained.
55- We understand from the passage that, at the end of
the two attacks, the Allies ……….
A) hadn't achieved anything but had lost soldiers
B) had to prepare better plans
C) re-educated their officers and soldiers
D) were left with no choice but to surrender
E) had to sign a cease-fire treaty with the Turks
56- It's clear from the passage that the failure at
Anzac............
A) was due to the unexpected resistance from the Turks
B) resulted from the inefficiency of the officers employed
C) could have been avoided if the best officers had been
employed
D) was caused by the defeat of the other soldiers at
Suvla
E) was the fault of the plan rather than the soldiers
57- At both Anzac and Suvla, the Allies ……….
A) found the land easy to negotiate with the help of their
well-prepared plans
B) managed to push the Turks into their own trenches
C) were confronted with unknown terrain and were
forced to retreat
D) had difficulty carrying their dead and injured back into
their own trenches

In The Call of the Wild, Jack London tells the story of a
dog named Buck, which is kidnapped from the safety of
his California home and turned by the brutality of humans
into a sled dog in the Klondike, and finally into a leader of
the wolves. Powerfully written and deeply disturbing, the
book calls attention to the hidden forces — in both human
beings and beasts — that come to the surface in a
struggle for survival. London unconsciously shows his
sense of identification with the nature of the wolf, both as
a lone animal and, through strength and cunning, as the
leader of the pack.
58- We can infer from the passage that Buck ……….
A) was a pet dog before he was kidnapped

animals

throughout their history

The abominable snowman, or yeti, is a giant creature

In 1849 a servant girl wrote home to her brother from Port
Adelaide, South Australia; "I have accepted a situation at
£20 per annum, so you can tell the servants in your
neighbourhood not to stay in England for such wages as
from £4 to £8 a year, but come here." Letters such as
these, which were circulated from kitchen to kitchen and
from attic to attic in English homes, were the best
recruiting agents for the colonies, which were then so
desperately in need of young women to serve the pioneers
who were trying to create a new life for themselves in their
chosen countries. Other girls read about the much better
prospects overseas in newspapers and magazines, which
also published advertisements giving details of free or

Our unconscious mind contains many millions of past
experiences that, so far as our conscious mind knows, are
lost forever. By means of several devices, we now know
how to bring back lost memories. One method is "free
association", used by psychiatrists. If a patient lets his
conscious mind wander at will, it can give him clues to
forgotten things which, if skilfully pursued by the doctor,
will bring up whole networks of lost ideas and forgotten
terrors. There are certain drugs which also help in this
process; hypnotism, too, can be of tremendous value in
exploring a patient's unconscious.
70- According to the passage, it is possible ……….
A) to use drugs to cure patients of their past terrors
B) to bring our lost memories to the surface through
several methods
C) that psychiatric problems develop through the
inability to forget certain things
D) that hypnotism can cause a patient to forget past
terrors
E) for most people to choose to forget about their past
experiences

A) unpleasant memories are pushed into the
unconscious mind
B) the use of hypnotism is essential
C) certain drugs are more effective than hypnotism
D) all one's millions of past experiences are easily
recalled
E) the patient's co-operation is needed

A) most psychiatric disorders are caused by the inability
to forget certain things
B) only a skilful, doctor can open up one's unconscious
mind
C) our unconscious mind only contains the things we
don't want to remember
D) many of one's past experiences are stored in one's
unconscious mind

Of the world's 2,500-plus species of palm trees, the
Palmyra palm is most important to man, next to the
coconut palm, because it yields food and provides over
one-hundred different useful end-products. To obtain the

twice daily to extract the nutritious juice from its flower-
bunches. It is this juice, converted in several different
methods, that is the basis for a wide variety of other
