questions 46 - 55, underline the errors and write the corrections in the
corresponding numbered boxes in the answer-sheet.

Lines
1. The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to
2. read and write, or the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and
3. speak. In modern contexts, the word refers to reading and writing at
4. level adequate for communication, or at a level that enables one to
5. successfully comprehend and communicate in printing society.
6. The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization
7. (UNESCO) has drafted the following definition: “Literacy
8. is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate
9. and compute, using printed and written materials associated with
10. varying contexts. Literacy involves a continua of learning to enable
11. an individual to achieve his or her goals, to develop his or her ability
12. and potential, and to participate fully in the wider society.”
13. Many policy analysts consider literacy rates a crucial measure of a
14. region human capital. This claim is done on the grounds that literate
15. people can be trained less expensively than illiterate people, generally
16. have a higher socio-economic state and enjoy better health and
17. employment prospects. Policy makers also argue that literacy increases
18. job opportunities and access higher education. In Kerala, India, for
19. example, female and child mortality rates declined in the 1960s, when
20. girls educating in the education reforms after 1948 began to

138
21. raise families. Recent researchers, however, argue that correlations
22. such as the one listed above may have more to do without the effects of
23. schooling rather than literacy in general. Regardless, the demand for
24. educational systems worldwide include a basic context around
25. communication through text and print, which is the foundation of most
26. definitions of literacy.

XI. For question 96 – 105, read the passage and answer all of the questions about
them.
The Underground Railroad
Slavery was legal for over 200 years in some parts of North America, particularly the
southern states of the United States, where the plantation system of agriculture
depended on the labor of slaves, most of whom came from Africa. Slaves had no rights
or freedoms because they were thought of as property. From the time of its origin,
slavery had opponents. The abolitionist movement began in the 1600s when the
Quakers in Pennsylvania objected to slavery on moral grounds and wanted to abolish
the institution.
In 1793, Canada passed a law abolishing slavery and declared that any escaped
slaves who came to Canada would be free citizens. Slavery was already illegal in most
northern states; however, slaves captured there by slave hunters could be returned to

142
slavery in the South. Canada refused to return runaway slaves or to allow American
slave hunters into the country. It is estimated that more than 30,000 runaway slaves
immigrated to Canada and settled in the Great Lakes region between 1830 and 1865.
The American antislavery movement was at the height of its activity during the
1800’s, when abolitionists developed the Underground Railroad, a loosely organized
system whereby runaway slaves were passed from safe house to safe house as they fled
northwards to free states or Canada. The term was first used in the 1830s and came
from an Ohio clergyman who said, “They who took passage on it disappeared from
public view as if they had really gone to ground.” Because the Underground Railroad
was so secret, few records exist that would reveal the true number of people who
traveled it to freedom. The most active routes on the railroad were in Ohio, Indiana,
and western Pennsylvania.
Runaway slaves usually traveled alone or in small groups. Most were young men
between the ages of 16 and 35. The fugitives hid in wagons under loads of hay or
potatoes, or in furniture and boxes in steamers and on rafts. They traveled on foot
through swamps and woods, moving only a few miles each night, using the North Star
as a compass. Sometimes they moved in broad daylight. Boys disguised themselves as
girls, and girls dressed as boys. In one well-known incident, twenty-eight slaves escaped
by walking in a funeral procession from Kentucky to Ohio.
The “railroad” developed its own language. The “trains” were the large farm wagons
that could conceal and carry a number of people. The “tracks” were the backcountry
roads that were used to elude the slave hunters. The “stations” were the homes and
hiding places where the slaves were fed and cared for as they moved north. The
“agents” were the people who planned the escape routes. The “conductors” were the
fearless men and women who led the slaves toward freedom. The “passengers” were the
slaves who dared to run away and break for liberty. Passengers paid no fare and
conductors received no pay.
The most daring conductor was Harriet Tubman, a former slave who dedicated her
life to helping other runaways. Tubman made 19 trips into the South to guide 300
relatives, friends, and strangers to freedom. She was wanted dead or alive in the South,
but she was never captured and never lost a passenger. A determined worker, she

143
carried a gun for protection and a supply of drugs to quiet the crying babies in her
rescue parties.
A number of white people joined the effort, including Indiana banker Levi Coffin
and his wife Catherine, who hid runaway in their home, a “station” conveniently located
on three main escape routes to Canada. People could be hidden there for several weeks,
recovering their strength and waiting until it was safe to continue on their journey. Levi
Coffin was called the “president of the Underground Railroad” because he helped as
many as 3,000 slaves to escape.
The people who worked on the railroad were breaking the law. Although the escape
network was never as successful or as well organized as Southerners thought, the few
thousand slaves who made their way to freedom in this way each year had a symbolic
significance out of proportion to their actual numbers. The Underground Railroad
continued operating until slavery in the United States was finally abolished in 1865.
96. Why did thousands of runaway slaves immigrate to Canada?
A. They preferred the climate of the Great Lakes region.
B. Working conditions for slaves were better in Canada.
C. Canada had no laws restricting immigration.
D. Former slaves could live as free citizens in Canada.
97. The phrase The term in paragraph 3 refer to _________.
A. antislavery movement B. abolitionist
C. Underground Railroad D. free state
98. Which sentence below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted
sentence in paragraph 3? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or
leave out essential information.
A. The Underground Railroad kept secret records in which all of the passengers
and trips were documented.
B. Few people understood why the Underground Railroad would not reveal how
many people chose to travel in this way.
C. The Underground Railroad’s records were not accurate, so the true number of
travelers is difficult to estimate.

144
 D. We do not know exactly how many slaves escaped on the Underground Railroad
because it was a secret organization.
99. The word fugitives in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. leaders B. old men C. runaways D. brave ones
100. All of the following are mentioned as methods of escape on the Underground
Railroad EXCEPT ________.
A. hiding in a hay wagon B. wearing a disguise
C. finding in a railcar D. walking in a procession
101. The author discusses the language of the Underground Railroad in paragraph 5 in

Railroad?
A. Their destination was in the northern states or Canada.
B They were not allowed to make stops during the journey.

103. Why was Harriet Tubman wanted dead or alive in the South?
A. She was a criminal who carried a gun and sold drugs.
B. She refused to return the runaway slaves that she captured.
C. She was an escaped slave who led others to freedom.
D. She became the president of the Underground Railroad.
104. It can be inferred from paragraph 8 that the author most likely believes which of
the following about the Underground Railroad?
A. The people who worked on the railroad should have been arrested.
B. The railroad was unsuccessful because it could not help every slave.
C. Southerners did not know about the railroad until after it closed.
D. The railroad represented a psychological victory for abolitionists.

105. Look at the four squares, A, B, C, and D which indicate where the following
sentence could be added to the passage. Where would the sentence best fit?
Women and children also escaped, but they were more easily captured.
Runaway slaves usually traveled alone or in small groups. Most were young men

Therapeutic Jurisprudence
An Overview
Therapeutic jurisprudence is the study of the role of the law as a therapeutic agent. It
examines the law's impact on emotional life and on psychological well-being, and the
therapeutic and antitherapeutic consequence of the law. It is most applicable to the fields of
mental health law, criminal law, juvenile law and family law.
The general aim of therapeutic jurisprudence is the humanising of the law and
addressing the human, emotional and psychological side of the legal process. It promotes
the perspective that the law is a social force that produces behaviours and consequences.
Therapeutic jurisprudence strives to have laws made or applied in a more therapeutic way
so long as other values, such as justice and due process, can be fully respected. It is
important to recognise that therapeutic jurisprudence does not itself suggest that therapeutic
goals should trump other goals. It does not support paternalism or coercion by any means.
It is simply a way of looking at the law in a richer way, and then bringing to the table some
areas and issues that previously have gone unnoticed. Therapeutic jurisprudence simply
suggests that we think about the therapeutic consequences of law and see if they can be
factored into the processes of law-making, lawyering, and judging.
The law can be divided into the following categories: (1) legal rules, (2) legal
procedures, such as hearing and trials and (3) the roles of legal actors-the behaviour of
judges, lawyers, and of therapists acting in a legal context. Much of what legal actors do has
146
an impact on the psychological well-being or emotional life of persons affected by the law,
for example, in the dialogues that judges have with defendants or that lawyers have with
clients. Therefore, therapeutic jurisprudence is especially applicable to this third category.
Therapeutic jurisprudence is a relatively new phenomenon. In the early days of
law, attitudes were very different and efforts were focused primarily on what was wrong
with various sorts of testimony. While there were good reasons for that early emphasis,
an exclusive focus on what is wrong, rather than also looking at what is right and how
these aspects could be further developed, is seriously short-sighted. Therapeutic
jurisprudence focuses attention on this previously under-appreciated aspect,
encouraging us to look very hard for promising developments, and to borrow from the
behavioural science literature, even when this literature has nothing obviously to do
with the law. It encourages people to think creatively about how promising
developments from other fields might be brought into the legal system.
Recently, as a result of this multidisciplinary approach, certain kinds of
rehabilitative programmes have begun to emerge that look rather promising. One type
of cognitive behaviour treatment encourages offenders to prepare relapse prevention
plans which require them to think through the chain of events that lead to criminality.
These reasoning and rehabilitation-type programmes teach offenders cognitive self-
change, to stop and think and figure out consequences, to anticipate high-risk situations,
and to learn to avoid or to cope with them. These programmes, so far, seem to be
reasonably successful.
From therapeutic jurisprudence standpoint, the question is how these programmes
might be brought into the law. In one obvious sense, these problem-solving, reasoning and
rehabilitation - type programmes can be made widely available in correctional and
community settings. A way of linking them even more to the law, of course, would be to
make them part of the legal process itself. The suggestion here is that if a judge or parole
board become familiar with these techniques and is about to consider someone for
probation, the judge might say, "I'm going to consider you but I want you to come up with
a preliminary relapse prevention plan that we will use as a basis for discussion. I want you
to figure out why I should grant you probation and why I should be comfortable that you're

147
going to succeed. In order for me to feel comfortable, I need to know what you regard to be
high-risk situations and how you're going to avoid them or cope with them."
If that approach is followed, courts will be promoting cognitive self-change as
part and parcel of the sentencing process itself. The process may operate this way; an
offender would make a statement like "I realise I mess up on Friday nights; therefore, I
propose that will stay at home on Friday nights." Suddenly, it is not a judge imposing
something on the offender. It's something that the offender has come up with him or
herself, so he or she should think it is fair. If a person has a voice in his rehabilitation,
then he is more likely to feel a commitment to it, and with that commitment,
presumably, compliance will increase dramatically rehabilitation.
