answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34.

Walls and wall building have played a very important role in Chinese culture. Not only cities, towns and
villages, but also the houses and the temples within them were walled, and the houses also had no windows
overlooking the street, thus giving the feeling of wandering around a huge maze. The name for “city” in Chinese
means wall, and the most famous walls in China is the Great Wall.

However, it is indeed a common mistake to perceive the Great Wall as a single architectural structure. As
the building of the wall spanned the various dynasties in the history of China, and each of these dynasties somehow
contributed to the refurbishing and the construction of a wall, whose foundations had been laid many centuries
ago.

The role that the Great Wall played in the growth of Chinese economy was an important one. Throughout
the centuries many settlements were established along new borders. The garrison troops were instructed to reclaim
wastelands and to plant crops on them. Roads and canals were also built. All these undertakings greatly helped to
increase the country’s trade and cultural exchanges with many remote areas and also with the southern, central and
western parts of Asia – the formation of the Silk Route. Builders, garrisons, artisans, farmers and peasants left
behind a trail of objects, including inscribed tablets, household articles, and written work.

Question 30: What is the passage mainly about?

A. the Great Wall of China B. languages for wall construction
C. the dynasties building walls C. Chinese economy

Question 31: According to paragraph 1, Chinese cities resembled a maze because _______.
A. some of its important places were walled

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 35 to 42.

There are no private schools in Finland. The public schools are social equalizers which are designed to
level the playing field for students irrespective of the social or economic position of their parents. They promote
equity and cooperation, not competition. The length of the school day, teacher training and curriculum - which
they continually seek to refine and improve - is structured and supported by research and is focused on thinking
processes and applications, not on testing.

There are no standardized tests in Finnish schools until age 16. Finnish pre-school (kindergarten) is
compulsory at age 6 but formal schooling does not begin until age 7, when they feel the children are ready.
Elementary school hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and students have 75 minutes of recess. Students and
teachers receive free meals; and before and after-school day care programs are subsidized and available on a
sliding-fee scale.

Teacher training programs are highly selective and master’s degrees are mandatory. Teachers teach 3 or 4
seventy-five minute classes a day with a high degree of professional autonomy, and typically teach for life.
Teachers spend their non-teaching time giving remedial help to individual students, assessing student progress and
developing lessons. There is no common core curriculum, only national competency guidelines. In Finnish opinion
polls, the teaching profession has more social status and respect than doctors or lawyers. Finnish students rarely,
if ever, receive homework, but if they do they are usually able to complete it during school hours. Finland believes
that their youth should have the freedom to play and discover, to develop outside interests and participate in extra-
curricular activities without the burden of homework.

According to studies by the international Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD), Finnish students not only have the lowest amount of homework in the world but also the lowest amount
of instruction time. Immigrants constitute about 5 percent of Finnish society. Remarkably, “the level of student
performance has continuously increased and variations in student performance has decreased during a period when
Finnish society has become more culturally diverse and socially complex.” The differences in test scores between
the weakest and strongest students is the smallest within OECD countries. Students from around the world are
periodically tested in reading, math and science with the international PISA exam. Since the year 2000, Finnish
students have been at or near the top in overall performance. They compete respectably with countries like
Singapore and South Korea where most students attend classes day and night, and hire tutors.
