Question 7: Read the passage below then pick out ONE best option ( A, B, C or D ) in each

question

Eugene O’Neill, considered America’s greatest playwright, was born in October 1888 The son

of James O’Neill, a famous actor of the time, O’Neill attended Princeton University briefly before leaving school and taking on a variety of jobs In 1910 he became a seaman, sailing to places such as South Africa and South America, where he observed the plight of the less fortunate In 1912 he contracted tuberculosis and entered a sanatorium It was during this period of recuperation that O’Neill decided to become a playwright

O’Neill was the first American dramatist to devote his talent to writing tragedy Prior to O’Neill, most successful plays were sentimental comedies or melodramas O’Neill based many of his plays on his experiences at sea, which had led him towards a pessimistic view of humanity Most of O’Neill’s characters are seeking meaning in their lives, having been robbed of faith by the cold statements of science In “The Iceman Cometh” (1939), his most cynical play, the characters in a saloon have ruined their lives and try to find meaning in their illusions which, when taken away, leave them in complete despair

Several of O’Neill‘s stage plays won Pulitzer Prizes – Beyond the Horizon (1920); Anna Christie (1922); Strange Interlude (1928); and Long Day‘s Journey Into Night (1957), awarded after his death O’Neill won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1936 Most of his plays had been written before he started suffering from Parkinson’s disease, which hampered efforts to write O’Neill died in November 1953

Question 8: Fill in each numbered blank with ONE suitable word to complete the passage

below:

Every nation has a set of rules, either written or unwritten, which determines (1)……… how people act with each other Formal, written rules are often laws, and they control how we drive, operate

a business, or run a government Individuals who (2)……….laws may be fined and put in jail Because illegal behavior generally harms other individuals or society at large, our court system must punish people who disregard these (3)…………rules

Informal rules, often called “manners” or “etiquette” describe correct and (4)……… action in such situations as eating in a restaurant, going on a date, or working in an office If one is impolite or misbehaves in these situations, other people often consider the offender immature or insensitive And although we can strongly disapproval of such misconduct, we cannot (5)……… punish someone for simply being inconsiderate or unpleasant

Neither laws (6)………….manners are inflexible; both change as society develops For example,

in the early twentieth century, the selling of alcohol was prohibited by the 18th Amendment to the Constitution This law, (7)… ….had to be changed because the government found it (8)………

to force people to drink only nonalcoholic beverages More recently, many people were dissatisfied with the imbalance between the rights of men and women worked hard to pass the Equal Rights Amendment

As women became more independent and took on new roles, a new law was considered necessary to reflect that change

Both laws and manners are important to society (9)…………seek to prevent injustice and protect the rights of citizens A nation without laws would be unstable; all citizens would need to actively distrust everyone While laws protect us from one another, the “unofficial” rules of etiquette help us to show friendliness and kindness toward each other (10)…………laws and manners help a society run smoothly

Question 9: The article below is not complete and logical Eight paragraphs have been

removed from it Find out one of the suitable paragraphs (A- H ), then insert it into the gaps (1- 6) where it should be to make the article a good one

Every woman desires to be beautiful; if she is not born so, she tries to make herself look beautiful by plucking her eyebrows and painting her lips and powdering her face However, beauty does not just stop

at the face

Her mother realized this could spoil her beauty, so she bound Tan Ki’s feet with cloth, narrowing them

to a point She then made Tan Ki wear small feet and shoes caused quite a sensation, and she was chosen to enter the Emperor’s court

First, they doubled up the girl’s four small toes and folded them under the sole, leaving the big toe intact This gave the foot an overall pointed appearance To make the foot even smaller, the arch of the foot was pushed inwards, bringing the heel as near as possible to the large toe

The bandages were changed once a week when the feet were bathed in warm water and dusted with powder Then the feet were bandaged again but this time a little tighter After eight years of constant restriction the feet would be daintily pointed and soles flat; however, a deep groove would remain underneath the girl’s soles

Another of the Home’s “grand old ladies” who had her feet bound is Mrs Rose Tong Born in Hunan, where her father dealt in the sale of shoes, she said that in those days it was unusual to see a woman without bound feet

Eighty – four – year – old Mrs Au Yong Yuet Ping recalled that every girl had her own wardrobe of tiny shoes which she sewed herse

THE REMOVED PARAGRAPHS:

A Today women no longer bind their feet, but there are still many women which bound feet Mrs Ho Beng, who lives at an Old Folks’ Home recalled: “I came from a wealthy family in China When I was seven years old, my feet were bound, but I do not remember their feeling painful; at mostly they felt itchy”

B Many women followed Tan Ki’s mother example and bound their daughters’ feet, and soon it became the fashion of those days The foot – binding ceremony was usually performed when the girl was about five to seven years old because at this age her flesh was soft and her bones supple Since whole housefuls of women had bound feet, they willingly helped the mother of the child in the binding ceremony

C In traditional China a woman‘s beauty lay in small feet, and the practice of foot – binding became commonly accepted towards the end of the Shang dynasty Historians have said that one of the loveliest women of that time, Tan Ki, had unusually large feet

D Then the woman wrapped damp bandages round the foot, binding them tightly round the heel and under the sole of the foot When the wet strips of cloth dried, the material shrank and tightened the grip

on the foot

E I glanced over my shoulder towards the source of the noise, and my eyes immediately fixed on a huge grey serpent – like thing that was slithering through one of the high windows

F “Everyone had small feet – my mother, grand-mothers, aunts and cousins; they walked in a very peculiar manner because of it My mother bound my feet when I was very young At first the pain was unbearable, but gradually it lessened and I soon forgot about it

G They were usually of different colors and materials, suitable for home – wear and for important occasions Some girls even slept with their shoes on, but these were made of soft, plain – colored fabric

of a cheaper quality

H More recent studies include the case of a girl who associated colors with the notes of bird song There was also a boy who felt pressure sensations in his teeth when cold compresses were applied in his arms
