(ID: 126579 )Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 11 to 20
Although speech is generally accepted as the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using words In every known culture, signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are commonly utilized as instruments of communication There is a great deal of agreement among communication scientists as to what each of these methods is and how each differs from the
others For instance, the basic function of any signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes that can be applied in a telegraph circuit Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication through these dots and dashes—short and long intervals as the circuit is broken—is very great Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs
also contain agreed upon meaning; that is, they convey information in and of themselves Two
examples are the hexagonal red sign that conveys the meaning of stop, and the red and white swirled pole outside a shop that communicates the meaning of barber
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate
relationship with the receiver‘s culture perceptions In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval In other cultures, if done in unison, applauding can be
a symbol of the audience‘s discontent with the performance Gestures such as weaving and
handshaking also communicate certain culture messages
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they also have a major disadvantage in communication They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent
to the receiver Without an exchange of ideas, interaction comes to a halt As a result, means of
communication intended to be used across long distances and extended periods must be based upon speech To radio, television, and the telephone, one must add fax, paging systems, electronic mail, and the internet, and no one doubts but that there are more means of communication on the horizon

A Communication B Signs and Signals C Speech D Gestures
Question 12: What does the author say about speech?
A It is the only true form of communication
B It is necessary for communication to occur
C It is the most advanced form of communication

(ID: 126653 )Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64
A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language,
communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence
or calm At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words
chosen, or may believe them Here the participant‘s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible by the acute listener Public performance is a manner of
communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or
gesture The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination
with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of
artistic, political, or pedagogic communication
Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and
emotional health Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given
conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and
harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed
