Question 31: A admitted B known C revealed D published Question 32: A in-depth B deep C depth D in-deep Question 33: A and B to C then D or Question 34: A house B protect C store D contain Question 35: A urgent B urgency C urgently D in urgent 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 Certain birds are, more often than not, considered bad luck, or even a sign of impending death For example, all over the world, both crows and ravens have some connection to war, and death In early times, crows and ravens were thought to accompany the gods of war, or be signs of the gods’ approaching arrival This idea later changed Crows in particular were thought to be harbingers of ill fortune or, in some cases, guides to the afterlife Woe be it to the person who saw a single crow or raven flying overhead, for this was most certainly a portent of death in the near future Interestingly, though potentially bad luck for people individually, the raven is considered to be good luck for the crown of England So much so, in fact, that a “raven master” is, even today, an actual government position in London He takes care of the ravens there and also clips their wings, ensuring that these birds can never fly far from the seat of the British government This way, the kingdom will never fall to ill fortune Another bird that is thought to play a part in forecasting the fortunes of people is the swallow Depending on how and when it is seen, the swallow can be a harbinger of either good or ill fortune Perhaps inspired by the swallow’s red-brown breast, Christian people initially related the swallow to the death of Jesus Christ Thus, people who saw a swallow fly through their house considered it a portent of death Later, however, farmers began to consider swallows signs of good fortune Any barn that has swallows living in it is sure to be blessed in the following year Farmers also have to beware of killing a swallow; that would be certain to end any good luck they might have had Though many people think these superstitions are old wives’ tales, there is actually some evidence to support them For example, crows and ravens, being scavengers, appear at the aftermath of battles Thus, large numbers of crows and ravens could be good indications of war in an area As well, swallows feed on insects that can cause infections in cattle Thus, a farmer who has many swallows in his barn may actually have healthier animals on his farm Therefore, the next time you feel inclined to laugh at an old wives’ tale, maybe you had better find out if there is any truth to it first! Question 36: What is the main idea of this reading? A Birds bring bad luck B Don’t look a crow in the eye C There are many superstitions surrounding birds D Birds are important to English people Question 37: Which birds are considered harbingers of bad luck? A Crows B Swallows C Ravens D All of the above Question 38: The word "portent" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A sign B coming C symbol D destruction Question 39: Which is NOT true, according to the reading?

A Catch a raven B Keep his windows open C Follow a crow D Avoid harming a swallow Question 42: Swallows help keep cattle in barns healthier by _ A eating infected skin B consuming insects C singing D making cows happier 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 43 to 50 A newborn baby can see, hear and feel By the age of five, a child can talk, ride a bike and invent imaginary friends How does this development happen? We don’t understand the way language, thinking and planning develop very well Now scientists are using new technology to ‘see’ into children’s brains And they are discovering new information about the way a baby’s brain develops A study in 2010 showed that the experiences a child has in their first few years affect the development of the brain It showed that children who received more attention often had higher IQs The brain of a newborn baby has nearly a hundred billion neurons This is the same number as an adult’s brain As they grow, a baby receives information through the senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch This information creates connections between different parts of the brain At the age of three, there are a hundred trillion connections One experiment looked at images of babies’ brains while they were listening to different sounds The sounds were in different sequences For example, one sequence was mu-ba-ba This is the pattern ‘A-BB’ Another sequence was mu-ba-ge This is the pattern ‘A-B-C’ The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during ‘A-B-B’ patterns This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns This experiment is interesting because sequences of words are important to grammar and meaning Compare two sentences with the same words in a different order: ‘John killed the bear’ is very different from ‘The bear killed John.’ So babies are starting to learn grammatical rules from the beginning of life Researchers also know that babies need to hear a lot of language in order to understand grammar rules But there is a big difference between listening to television, audio books or the internet, and interacting with people One study compared two groups of nine-month-old American babies One group watched videos of Mandarin Chinese sounds In the other group, people spoke the same sounds to the babies The test results showed that the second group could recognise different sounds, however the first group learned nothing.The scientist, Patricia Kuhl, said this result was very surprising It suggests that social experience is essential to successful brain development in babies Question 43: The purpose of the article is to A explain new studies into the development of babies’ brains B describe how a new-born baby’s brain works C compare the brains of adults and children D prove that nowadays babies are more intelligent than in the past Question 44: According to the first paragraph A most aspects of child development are understood quite well B some five-year-olds have imaginary friends C children use technology more these days D technology has been used in children’s brain surgery Question 45: Which statement is supported by the second paragraph? A Adult brains have more neurons than new-born babies’ brains B Babies and three-year-olds have the same number of neurons C Early experiences have an effect on brain development D The connections between parts of the brain stay the same as a child grows up Question 46: According to the second paragraph, which of the following can affect IQ? A being with adults a lot B connecting with other babies C paying attention to a baby D having access to information as early as possible Question 47: It can be inferred from the passage that A A pattern like ‘A-B-C’ is easier to understand B Babies’ brains cannot recognise different sound patterns C It’s not known which area of a baby’s brain processes speech D Children can actually learn grammatical rules in their very early age Question 48: According to the article, which statement is true?
