In 15 or 30 seconds, a speaker cannot establish the historical context that shaped the issue in question, cannot detail the probable causes of the problem, and cannot examine alternative proposals to argue that one is preferable to others. In snippets, politicians assert but do not argue.

Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech. A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing is secondary to language. When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly. Even today, there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a normal human being can not be Prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write; in the Past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today 12many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly.

History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound offects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly the same time as the pictures - called “synchronized sound” ~ began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and the pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence. In the “sound-on-film” system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this ways as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us “talking pictures” Question 36.

Simply being bilingual doesn’t qualify someone to interpret. Interpreting is not only a mechanical process of converting one sentence in language A into the same sentence in language B. Rather, its a complex art in which thoughts and idioms that have no obvious counterparts from tongue to tongue _ or words that have several meanings must be quickly transformed in such a way that the message is clearly and accurately expressed to the listener. ‘At one’intemnational conference, an American speaker said, "You can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear”, which meant nothing to the Spanish audience. The interpretation was, "A monkey in a silk dress is still a monkey" _ an idiom the Spanish understood and that expressed the same idea. There are 2 kinds of interpreters, simultaneous and consecutive. The former, sitting in a separated booth, usually at a large multilingual conference, speaks to listeners wearing headphones, interpreting what a foreign language speaker says _ actually a sentence behind, Consecutive interpreters are the ones most international negotiations use. They are employed for smaller meetings without sound booths and headphones. Consecutive interpretation also requires two-person teams. A foreign speaker says his piece while the interpreter, using a special shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was said, Question 43, What is the purpose of the passage? A. To differentiate between simultaneous and consecutive interpreters. B. To state the qualifications of an interpreter. C. To point out the importance of an interpreter. D.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answwer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 35, The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and speak. In modern contexts, the word refers to reading and writing at a level suitable for communication, or at a level that lets one understand and communicate ideas in a literate society,’ so as to take (31)___ in that society. The United Nations, Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has drafted the following definition: “Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written’ materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning to enable an Individual to 22achieve his or her goals, to develop his, or her (32) ___ and potential, and to participate fully in the wider society, Many policy analysts consider literacy rates a crucial measure of a region's human capital. This claim is made on the foundations that literate people can be trained less expensively than illiterate people, generally have a higher socio-economic (33) ____ and enjoy better health and employment prospects. Policy makers also argue that literacy increases job opportunities and access to higher education, In Kerala, India, for example, female and child mortality rates declined dramatically in the 1960s, when girls who were educated in the education reforms after 1948 began to raise families. Recent researchers, (34)__, argue that correlations such as, the one listed above may have more to do with the effects of schooling rather than literacy in general. Regardless, the demand of educational systems worldwide includes a basic (35) ____ around communication through test and print, which is the foundation of most definitions of literacy, Question 31, A. comfort B. control C. part D. honor Question 32.

A. content B. concept C. contact D. context 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 from 36 to 42. Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember past events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior; Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. ‘The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun’s position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance isinnate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent farther from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees ‘compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other fourchips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing 23some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 36. What does the passage mainly dit A. Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior. B. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. cuss? C. The role of instinct in animal behavior. D. Differences between the behavior of animals in their naturalenvironments and in laboratory experiments. Question 37. Which of the following, is NOT discussed as anability animals are thought to have? A. Communicating emotions B, Remembering past experiences C. Selecting among choices D, Anticipating events to come Question 38. What is the purpose of the honeybee dance? A.

The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food C. Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity. D. The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected Question 40. It can be inferred from the passage thatbrain size is assumed to A. be an indicator of cognitive ability B, be related to food consumption C. correspond to levels of activity D. vary among individuals within a species Question 41.

There are many theories of aging, but virtually all fall into the category of hypotheses with a minimum of supporting evidence. One viewpoint is that aging occurs as the body's organ 4systems become less efficient, Thus failures in the immune system, hormonal system, and nervous system could all produce characteristics that we associate with aging. Following a different vein, many current researchers are looking for evidence at the cellular and sub cellular level. It has been shown that cells such as human fibroblasts (generalized tissue cells) grown in culture divide only a limited number of times and then die, Only cancer cells seem immortal in this respect. Fibroblast cells from an embryo divide more times than those taken from an adult. Thus some researchers believe that aging occurs at the cellular level and is part of the cell's genetic makeup. Any event that disturbs the cell's genetic machinery such as mutation, damaging chemicals in the cell's environment, or loss of genetic material, could cause cells to lose their ability to divide and thus bring on aging. Other theories of aging look at different processes Chronological aging refers to the passage of time since birth and is usually measured in years, While chronological age can be useful in estimating the average status of a large group of people, it is a poor indicator of an individual person's status because there is a tremendous amount of variation from one individual to the next in regard to the rate at which biological age changes occur, For example, on the average, aging results in people losing much of their ability to perform strenuous activities, yet some elderly individuals are excellent marathon runners. Another type of aging, is cosmetic aging, which consists of changes in outward appearance with advancing age. This includes changes in the body and changes in other aspects of person's appearance, such as the style of hair and clothing, the type of eyeglasses, and the use of a hearing aid. Like chronological aging, itis frequently used to estimate the degree to which other types of aging have occurred. However, it is an inaccurate indicator for either purpose because of variation among individuals and because a person's appearance is affected by many factors that are not part of aging, including illness, poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight. Question 43. The author believes the theories of aging are A, well-supported hypotheses B. poorly supported hypotheses CC. proven theories D. interesting ideas Question 44.

As explained in this passage, the theory of aging which examines the cellular level would NOT assign which of the following as a cause of aging? A. Mutation B. Failure of the body's organ system C. Loss of genetic material D. Chemical damage from the environment 25Question 48.

In the United States, presidential elections are held in years evenly divisible by four (1888, 1900, 1964, etc.). Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending with zero have died in office, with one exception. William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia only several weeks after his inauguration. ‘Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860, and his untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from Ohio, was shot during his first year in office (1881) by a man to whom he wouldn't give a job. While in his second term of office (1901), William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with some of the guests. John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his election, Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G, Harding died in office. Although it was never proved, many believe he was poisoned, Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times (1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944), the only man to serve so long a term. He had contracted polio in 1921 and eventually died of the illness in 1945. Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980 and reelected four years later, suffered an assassination attempt but did not succumb to the assassin’s bullets. He was the first to break the long chain of unfortunate events, Will the candidate in the election of 2020 also be as lucky? 29Question 36, All of the following were election years EXCEPT ___ A. 1860 B. 1960 C. 1888.

In 1900 the United States had only three cities with more than a million residents - New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. By 1930, it had ten giant metropolises. The newer ones experienced remarkable growth, which reflected basic changes in the economy. The Population of Los Angeles (114,000 in 1900) rose spectacularly in the early decades of the twentieth century, increasing a dramatic 1,400 percent from 1900 to 1930. A number of circumstances contributed to the meteoric rise of Los Angeles. The agricultural potential of the area was enormous if water for irrigation could be found, and the city founders had the 8 a 225-mile aqueduct, completed in 1913, to tap the water of the Owens River.
