Recent research suggests that a mechanism in the brain can help us (52) whether a smile is really heartfelt or whether it is just being (53) on for show (54) to various long-held traditions, a genuine smile involves the eyes as well as the mouth in the nineteenth century, a French anatomist (55) to prove this He used electrodes to stimulate the facial muscles of volunteers (56) _creating false smiles He found that real smiles were always (57) _with the contraction of muscle around the eye, but that his artificially induced ones were not During more recent research, volunteers were shown a variety of human facial expressions and the reactions to these were monitored When they were shown a happy face, 35% of the volunteers immediately started looking at the eye area, checking for tell-tale crinkles that would (58) that the smile was genuine, but when shown a sad or neutral face, they did not So why did the human brain evolve to (59) _ between real and false smiles? It could be that this ability to (60) _ a quick assessment of a smile has an important role to play in successful communication A genuine smile serves as a gesture of conciliation in conflict, and it’s important to know whether we are really being offered a truce or not 51 A sign B basis C root D fact 52 A recollect B accept C admit D recognise 53 A put B brought C created D stuck 54 A Providing B Considering C Relating D According 55 A got down B set out C went off D carried out 56 A despite B thereby C however D nonetheless 57 A associated B mixed C joined D accompanied 58 A assure B confirm C justify D approve 59 A decide B tell 60 A make C distinguish B earn C D reckon D hold VII READING PASSAGE l (5 PTS): Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question Excerpted 190m What Video Games Have to Teach us about Learning and Literacy by James Paul Gee When people learn to play video games, they are learning a new literacy Of course, this is not the way the word "literacy" is normally used Traditionally, people think of literacy as the ability to read and write Why, then, should we think of literacy more broadly, in regard to video games or anything else, for that matter? There are two reasons First, in the modern world, language is not the only important communicational system Today images, symbols, graphs, diagrams, artifacts, and many other visual symbols are particularly significant Thus, the idea of different types of "visual literacy" would seem to be an important one For example, being able to "read" the images in advertising is one type of visual literacy And, of course, there are different ways to read such images, ways that are more or less aligned with the intentions and interests of the advertisers Knowing how to read interior designs in homes, modernist art in museums, and videos on MTV are other forms of visual literacy Furthermore, very often today words and images of various sorts are juxtaposed and integrated in a variety of ways In newspaper and magazines as well as in textbooks, images take up more and more of the space alongside words In fact, in many modern high school and college textbooks in the sciences images not only take up more space, they now carry meanings that are independent of the words in the text If you can't read these images, you will not be able to recover their meanings from the words in the text as was more usual in the past In such multimodal texts (texts that mix words and images), the images often communicate different things from the words And the combination of the two modes communicates things that neither of the modes does separately Thus, the idea of different sorts of multimodal literacy seems an important one Both modes and multimodality go far beyond images and words to include sounds, music, movement, bodily sensations, and smells None of this news today, of course We very obviously live in a world awash with images It is our first answer to the question why we should think of literacy more broadly The second answer is this: Even though reading and writing seem so central to what literacy means traditionally, reading and writing are not such general and obvious matters as they might at first seem After all, we never just read or write; rather, we always read or write something in some way So there are different ways to read different types of texts Literacy is multiple, then, in the sense that the legal literacy needed for reading law books is not the same as the literacy needed for reading physics texts or superhero comic books And we should not be too quick to dismiss the latter form of literacy Many a superhero comic is replete with post-Freudian irony of a sort that would make a modern literary critic's heart beat fast and confuse any otherwise normal adult Literacy, then, even as traditionally conceived to involve only print, is not a unitary thing but a multiple matter There are, even in regard to printed texts and even leaving aside images and multimodal texts, different "literacies." Once we see this multiplicity of literacy (literacies), we realize that when we think about reading and writing, we have to think beyond print Reading and writing in any domain, whether it is law, rap songs, academic essays, superhero comics, or whatever, are not just ways of decoding print, they are also caught up with and in social practices Video games are a new form of art They will not replace books; they will sit beside them, interact with them, and change them and their role in society in various ways, as, indeed, they are already doing strongly with movies (Today many movies are based on video games and many more are influenced by them.) We have no idea yet how people "read" video games, what meanings they make from them Still less we know how they will "read" them in the future 61 According to the first paragraph, the broadest definition of "literacy" is A The ability to analyze literature B The ability to comprehend basic cultural cues C The ability to read and write D The ability to compose poetry 62 All are mentioned as being types of "visual literacy" EXCEPT A, Musical tones B Interior Design C Diagrams D Modern Art 63 An example from a science textbook often phenomenon the author describes in the third paragraph could be A A genetic tree that coincides with the discussion of specific mammal classes in the text B A diagram of a specific chemical reaction that is used to explain a broad definition in the text C An illustration of a plant cycle that accompanies a chapter on photosynthesis D A cartoon that references the same methods discussed in the text about laboratory safety 64 What is an example of a "multimodal" text? A A dictionary B A movie script C A photo album D An art book that describes the art as well as reproduces images of the original prints 65 The idiom in the sixth paragraph, "read against the grain of the text" is closest in meaning to A Reading to understand the underlying meanings and themes of the author's wordsnot just a literal interpretation B Reading text that defines different types of wheat and grains C To read the text from right to left rather than left to right D To read books that use recycled paper and other green alternatives 66 In the seventh paragraph, the author suggests that literacy is multiple, meaning that A To be "literate" can mean participating in any form of expression B One's literacy increases exponentially as greater mastery of reading and writing is achieved C Different genres and modes of expression require different background knowledge and perspectives to understand them D Literacy can only be gained by exploring every type of media and expression 67 Why does the author give the example of superhero comics to explain multiple literacies? A To explain that comic books are written for children and purely for entertainment They require only a basic knowledge of the action that occurs in the story B To once again refer to his earlier points about "multimodal" texts C To insist that even when an author may intend multiple meanings and interpretations they are rarely successful in conveying those to readers D Things that may seem on the surface to be only meant for a particular group of people can actually have very profound meanings to those who possess other types of literacy 68 The author suggests that all of the following require different types of literacy and the ability to decode meaning EXCEPT A Rap music B Comic books C Academic papers D Symphonies 69 The author says that video games A Are not yet entirely understood in terms of literacy, but are already impacting other forms of expression such as filmmaking B Are unrealistic and should not fall into the same categories as the other texts he describes C Are too violent to risk experimenting with for the purposes of understanding literacy D Are irrelevant in academic discussion because no one has yet determined how to explain the ways that people understand them 70 What would be the most logical information for the next paragraph to contain if the article continued? A A technological definition of video games, how they are made, and how they are played B A historical explanation of the very first video game and its evolution C Examples of the way that some people currently interpret video games and what they mean to them D A price comparison of video game consoles and whether or not quality has a direct impact on literacy READING PASSAGE (5 PTS): Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question The craft of perfumery has an ancient and global heritage The art flourished in Ancient Rome, where the emperors were said to bathe in scent After the fall of Rome, much of the knowledge was lost, but survived in Islamic civilizations in the Middle Ages Arab and Persian pharmacists developed essential oils from the aromatic plants of the Indian peninsula They developed the processes of distillation and suspension in alcohol, which allowed for smaller amounts of raw materials to be used than in the ancient process, by which flower petals were soaked in warm oil This knowledge was carried back to European monasteries during the Crusades 2 At first, the use of fragrances was primarily associated with healing Aromatic alcoholic waters were ingested as well as used externally Fragrances were used to purify the air, both for spiritual and health purposes During the Black Death, the bubonic plague was thought to have resulted from a bad odour which could be averted by inhaling pleasant fragrances such as cinnamon The Black Death led to an aversion to using water for washing and so perfume was commonly used as a cleaning agent Later on, the craft of perfume re-entered Europe, and was centred in Venice, chiefly because it was an important trade route and a centre for glass-making Having such materials at hand was essential for the distillation process In the late seventeenth century, trade soared in France, when Louis XIV brought in policies of protectionism and patronage which stimulated the purchase of luxury goods Here, perfumery was the preserve of glove-makers The link arose since the tanning of leather required putrid substances Consequently, the gloves were scented before they were sold and worn A glove and perfume makers’ guild had existed here since 1190 Entering it required years of formal training under a master perfumer The trade in perfume flourished during the reign of Louis XV, as the master gloveand-perfume makers, particularly those trading in Paris, received patronage from the royal court, where it is said that a different perfume was used each week The perfumers diversified into other cosmetics including soaps, powders, white face paints and hair dyes They were not the sole sellers of beauty products Mercers, spicers, vinegar-makers and wig-makers were all cashing in on the popularity of perfumed products Even simple shopkeepers were coming up with their own concoctions to sell During the eighteenth century, more modem, capitalist perfume industry began to emerge, particularly in Britain where there was a flourishing consumer society In France, the revolution initially disrupted the perfume trade due to its association with aristocracy, however, it regained momentum later as a wider range of markets were sought both in the domestic and overseas markets The guild system was abolished in 1791, allowing new high-end perfumery shops to open in Paris Perfume became less associated with health in 1810 with a Napoleonic ordinance which required perfumers to declare the ingredients of all products for internal consumption Unwilling to divulge their secrets, traders concentrated on products for external use Napoleon affected the industry in other ways too With French ports blockaded by the British during the Napoleonic wars, the London perfumers were able to dominate the markets for some time One of the significant changes in the nineteenth century was the idea of branding Until then, trademarks had had little significance in the perfumery where goods were consumed locally, although they had a long history in other industries One of the pioneers in this field was Rimmel who was nationalized as a British citizen in 1857 He took advantage of the spread of railroads to reach customers in wider markets To this, he built a brand which conveyed prestige and quality, and were worth paying a premium for He recognised the role of design in enhancing the value of his products, hiring a French lithographer to create the labels for his perfume bottles Luxury fragrances were strongly associated with the affluent and prestigious cities of London and Paris Perfumers elsewhere tended to supply cheaper products and knock-offs of the London and Paris brands The United State perfume industry, which developed around the docks in New York where French oils were being imported, began in this way Many American firms were founded by immigrants such as William Colgate, who arrived in 1806 At this time, Colgate was chiefly known as a perfumery Its Cashmere Bouquet brand had 625 perfume varieties in the early 20th century 71 The purpose of the text is to A compare the perfumes from different countries B describe the history of perfume making C

During the Black Death, the bubonic plague was thought to have resulted from a bad odour which could be averted by inhaling pleasant fragrances such ac cinnamon A To explain why washing was not popular during the Black Death B To show how improper use of perfume caused widespread disease C To illustrate how perfumes used to be ingested to treat disease D To give an example of how fragrances were used for health purposes 74 Why did the perfume industry develop in Paris? A Because it was an important trade route B Because of the rise in the glove-making industry C Because of the introduction of new trade laws D Because of a new fashion in scented gloves 75 In paragraph 4, it is implied that…… A Master glove and perfume makers created a new perfume each week B Mercers, spicers and other traders began to call themselves masters C The Royal Court only bought perfume from masters D Cosmetics were still only popular within the Royal Courts 76 How did the French Revolution affect the Parisian perfume industry? A The industry declined then rose again B The industry collapsed and took a long time to recover C The industry was greatly boosted D The industry lost most of its overseas customers 77 London came to lead the perfume industry because A the French Revolution meant that there were fewer customers in France B Napoleon‘s new laws affected the profitability of perfume-making C the production of perfume ceased during the Napoleonic wars D the French were unable to export perfumes for a period of time 78 Which of the following is NOT true of Rimmel?

asteroid impact, so in a regular fashion, such as day and night, the tides and the seasons There is, therefore, one event that has a tremendous impact on the Earth those of the total eclipse For a few minute, broad daylight changes to complete darkness as the Moon totally hide the Sun This darkness is accompanied by many spectacular effects, and it also provides a rare opportunity to physicists to make observations that are impossible at any other time However, as a total solar eclipse is a sudden interruption of the day; it can also have an effect on plants and animals that are used to the regular circle of day and night As total eclipses occur in average once every 360-years at any particular location, there is little chance of any living thing becoming accustomed to them In fact, there are some amazing stories of the unusual behaviour of animals as a total eclipse approaches In Australia, for example, one observer said, ‘I found myself have to calm a distressed parrot, which fell to the ground a moment or so before the total eclipse’ Joanna Kale, other observer, found her head surrounded by a cloud of insects that dispersed when the Sun finally emerged from the eclipse So, as these examples show, the Suns presence has an astonishing influence on life on Earth 1. _ 2. 3. 4. _ 5. 6. 7. _ 8. 9. 10. _ IV SENTENCE TRANSFORMATION: (20 PTS) Rewrite the following sentences
