1 Once upon a time there was a donkey, who lived on a farm with his master. One day he got fed
up with working on the farm and decided to leave his master. He set off for the nearby town of Bremen.
On his way the donkey met a dog, who had also left his home and master. “Will you come with me to
Bremen?” asked the donkey. “Let’s become musicians in the town orchestra. You can play the drums
and I will play the cello.” The dog agreed and they continued on their way together.
A bit further on they met a cat and invited him to go with them to Bremen and join the town
orchestra as a violinist. The cat meowed in agreement and the three animals hurried on to Bremen. As
they were passing by a castle, the three saw a cockerel, crossing as loudly as he could, so they asked
him why he was singing so loudly. “They are going to cook me and eat me tomorrow,” he said, “so I’m
saying goodbye to life.” But the donkey said, “Don’t be silly! Come with us! You have a lovely voice and
you could become a singer in the Bremen orchestra. That is all we are going. ”The cockerel, who really
didn’t want to be cooked, jumped on the donkey’s back and the four continued on their way.
The sun had started to go down and the four friends were looking for shelter for the night. They
came across a house which was being burgled. The donkey looked through the window and saw a table,
which had been generously laid with food and drinks. Since the four friends were very hungry, they
decided to drive the burglars away.
The dog climbed on the donkey’s back, the cat stood on the dog’s head and the rooster perched
on the cat’s back. They started their concert on three: “Heee-haw!” brayed the donkey, “Woof-woof!”
barked the dog, “Meoooowww!” said the cat and “Cock-a-doodle- doo!” crowed the cockerel.
At all the noise the burglars started shouting in fear, “Help! Ghosts are coming to get us!” The
men ran out of the door as fast as they could. They wanted to leave the house that very second, thinking
that the house was haunted by millions of terrifying ghosts.
The four friends made sure that the burglars had run a long way away and then went into the
house. They sat down for dinner, ate, drank and were merry. Full from the delicious meal, they looked
for a place to sleep and turned off the lights. The dog curled up behind the door, the cat snuggled in by
the fireplace, the rooster perched on the back of a chair and the donkey settled in on one of the kitchen
nooks. They soon fell fast asleep.
Meanwhile, the burglars gathered and the ringleader decided to send one of them to check
whether the ghosts were still in the house as it was dark. The man who was sent approached the house
quietly, shaking with fear. He reached the door and stood to listen. Since there was no noise, he went
into the kitchen. He wanted to light a fire. So, thinking the cat’s glowing eyes were burning coals, he
held a candle next to them, hoping it would catch light. The cat jumped on his face and started
scratching him. In panic, he stepped back, stepping on the dog, who bit the man’s leg fiercely. The man
couldn’t see anything and began to run around in the dark in a blind panic. He was kicked by the donkey.
Then the cockerel crowed and started flying around.
The burglar ran to the ringleader and said “It’s not just ghosts! Now there are witches in the house!
Some of them scratch, others bite, others kick... It would be better for us if we moved somewhere
else.” When the rest of the burglars heard him, they left the place as fast as they could. So the house
was left to the four good friends, who gave up their decision to become musicians and instead lived in
the house for the rest of their days.
 Who were in the house and what happened when the four friends came across?
A The donkey who sat vey generously
B The terrifying ghosts who tried to scare them away
C The burglars who tried to settle the house
D The burglars who served delicious meal in front of the campfire

The fact that we can find based on the text is …

A The cockerel didn’t want to be killed so he decided to join the group

3 Shambo, the bull at the center of a three-month legal fight, has been killed. After a positive test
for TB, an order was made for his slaughter, in keeping with the law. However, the multi-faith
community where he lived went to court to try to save him as he was a sacred animal to Hindus.
A High Court judge said that the order to kill him was unlawful, but the decision was overturned
in the Appeal Court. Police had to be called in as worshippers had formed a human shield around the
animal to stop him being taken away. Opinion is very divided on the issue- some believe that he was a
danger to the national herd and needed to be killed, while others feel that religious beliefs should be
respected and the community had offered to provide sufficient measures to ensure that he would not
infect any other animals if he contracted the disease as they planned to isolate him. The authorities cut
through the security fence and led the bull away. The following morning they announced that he had
been given a lethal injection.
The debate on the issue is unlikely to end with the death of Shambo and may widen into a debate
about the policy of killing cows that test positive for TB

Based on the text, which of these statements is true about the case of Shambo?
A Shambo was definitely ill with TB
B The case of Shambo was done more than one court
C Most people supported about the killing of Shambo
D The community wanted Shambo to mix with other animals despite the TB test

5 Robert Moog was an American inventor who developed the Moog Synthesizer. It was one of
the first synthesizers to gain widespread use as a musical instrument. Moog's synthesizers were an
important part of musical innovation in rock and jazz music in the 1 960s and 1 970s. Robert Arthur
Moog was born in Queens, a borough of New York City 75 years ago. He became fascinated with
electronic as a teenager, particularly in an early electronic music instrument called the Theremin. Moog
studied physic and electrical engineering at Queens College and Columbia University, both in physic
Cornel University in Ithaca, New York. In 1 954, while still an undergraduate student, Moog formed his
own company to sell Theremins and Theremin kits.
Soon after, Moog began working on a keyboard instrument that could replicate the sound of
any musical instrument electronically. Working with American composer Herbert Deuthsch, moog
introduced the prototype Moog Synthesizer at a convention in 1964. The device represented a
significant advance over previous electronic synthesizer because of its use of new semiconductor
technology, which made it smaller and considerably cheaper than earlier machines. The Moog, as it
was known, was soon in demand by musician all over the world.
In 1 964, Moog began a collaboration with American composer and organist Walter Carlos (now
Wendy Carlos), who released the bestselling electronic music album Switched-On Bach in 1 968. Rock
groups such as The Beatles and Yes and jazz musicians such as Herbie Hannock and Chick and Chick
Corea began incorporating Moog Synthesizer into their recordings, a trend that increased when the
company introduced the compact and portable Minimoog in 1 970. A Moog Synthesizer was also
prominently featured on the soundtrack to the movie A Clocwork Orange in 1971

The passage describes Theremin as a/an . . .

A Prototype of Moog Synthesizer.
B Initial electronic music instrument.
C Musical instrument to replicate the sound
D Instrument of electronic tool.

10 Moon is the earth’s satellite which we often see in the night. The Moon is the one place in our
solar system where humans have visited. For the first time on July 20, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong
and Edwin Aldrin landed the Lunar Module of Apollo 11 on the surface of the Moon. Neil Armstrong
was the first man to walk on the Moon. However do you know how the moon looks alike? These are
some facts about it.
The moon rises in the east and sets in the west. It moves toward the east in our sky by about
12 degrees each day. The Moon is about 384,400 kilometers from Earth. The Moon has a diameter of
2,000 miles which is like to 3,476 kilometers.
The surface of the Moon has many things, such as craters, lava plains, mountains, and valleys.
Scientists believe the craters were formed around 3.5 to 4.5 billion years ago by meteors hitting the
moon’s surface. The Moon does not have atmosphere, wind and weather that is why the footprints left
there on the Moon by the Apollo astronauts will remain there for millions of years.
The Moon is not a light source. It means that Moon does not make its own light. It reflects light
from the sun. All of us can see the Moon especially in the night because light from the Sun bounces off
it back to the Earth. If the Sun wasn’t there, we can’t see the Moon.
The moon influences many of the tides in the oceans. This is because of the gravity force between the
Earth and Moon. At full Moon and new Moon, the Sun, Earth and Moon are lined up, producing the
higher than normal tides. When the Moon is at first or last quarter, it forms smaller neap tides.

What does the text mostly talk about?

A Moon is the earth’s satellite and how it looks

B The moon sets and rises but do not have its own light

15 Purple passion fruit is a small, oval to round shaped fruit, approximately two to three inches in
diametre at maturity. Thefruit’s skin is smooth, yet dimpled and at peak maturity can be heavily
wrinkled. The skin’s colour varies with hues of dark purple and red. Below the skin is a cottony white
peel. The interior seed cavity of purple passion fruit is filled with edible yellow to green jelly and
medium sized black seeds. Its pulp is highly aromatic and it also has a tropical sweet tart flavour with
nuances of pineapple, papaya, mango, and guava.
Purple passion fruit are prized for the jelly-like pulp they contain, which can be used rawor
cooked in a number of dessert and beverage preparations. Slince in half and use a spoon to remove the
gelatinous contents. Both the pulp and seeds are edible and ready to eat. For a less tart flavour, add a
little sugar and cream to it before serving. Serve purple passion friut through cheese cloth. The seed
free pulp of the purple passion fruit can be cooked down to make syrup for use in beverages, sauces,
soups, preserves, sherbets, pie fillings, frosting, marsmallows and cakes.
Purple passion fruit is a subtropical fruit native to southern Brazil, Paraguay and northern, northern
Argentina. Purple passion fruit thrives in warm to hot climates that experience moderate rainfalls and
rare frost. Commercial production today comes out of India, New Zealand, the Caribbean, Brazil,
Columbia, Ecuador, Indonesia, Australia, Peru, Africa, Israel and in the United States from Florida and
California.
