Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of
communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in
every known culture. The basic function of a signal is to impinge upon the environment in such
a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit.
Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the
codification of words, signs also contain meanings in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber
pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently.
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate
relationship with the receiver's cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater
provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and
handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major
disadvantage in communication. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the
sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. Without an exchange of ideas, interaction comes
to a halt. As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and
extended periods must be based upon speech. Radio, television, and the telephone are only a
few.
14/ What does the author say about speech?
A. It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors.
B. It is the most advanced form of communication.
C. It is necessary for communication to occur.
D. It is the only true form of commnication.
15/ The word "it" in paragraph 1 refers to _____.
A. way B. environment C. function D. signal
16/ Applauding was cited as an example of _____.
A. a signal B. a sign C. a gesture D. a symbol
17/ Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented?
A. Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols.
B. Because people wanted to communicate across long distances.
C. Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete.
D. Because people wanted new forms of communication.
18/ Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Gestures B. Signs and signals C. Speech D. Communication
Read the passage and decide whether the statements below are true or false.
The Digital Divide
A recent survey has shown that the number of people in the United Kingdom who do not intend
to get internet access has risen. These people, who are know as 'net refuseniks', make up 44%
of UK households, or 11.2 million people in total.
The research also showed that more than 70 percent of these people said that they were not
interested in getting connected to the internet. This number has risen from just over 50% in
2005, with most giving lack of computer skills as a reason for not getting internet access,
though some also said it was because of the cost.
More and more people are getting broadband and high-speed net is available almost
everywhere in the UK, but there are still a significant number of people who refuse to take the
first step.
The cost of getting online is going down and internet speeds are increasing, so the main
challenge is to explain the relevance of the internet to this group. This would encourage them
to get connected before they are left too far behind. The gap between those who have access
to the internet and who do not is the digital divide, and if the gap continues to widen, those
without access will get left behind and miss out on many opportunities, especially in their
careers.

A. True
B. False
20/ The main reason for not getting internet access is the cost.
A. True
B. False
21/ High-speed internet is not available everywhere in the UK.

B. False
22/ Many people think that getting the costs down is the key to this problem.

B. False
