VI There are 10 mistakes in the following passage Find and correct them (1 point)

In countries where two or more languages are spoken, language is frequently a political and highly emotive issue Although Canada is officially bilingual, the French – speaking province of Quebec introduced the law in 1976 which, in other measures, banned languages rather than French on commercial signs and restricted admissions to English speaking schools In 1988, the supreme court of Canada rules that some in sections of this law were illegal No sooner had they done so than thousands of French speakers took to the street protest Under the regime of General Franco, a Basque language spoken by about 600,000 people in Spain was forbidden So strict was this ban that people using Basque in public could be imprisoned

Lingual suppression still goes on, but on the whole, governments today are more tolerable of their minority languages Nowhere has this reverse of attitudes been more pronounced than in Wales Until the twentieth century, Welsh was all along illegal, and its usage was forbidden in schools and at many places of work Only a long campaign of protests and vandalism by Welsh speakers in the 1960s did the British government allow Welsh to become an official language

Midsummer, the celebration of the turning of the sun, has been being the highlight of the northern summer for centuries- an event full of symbolism, customs, magic and superstitions In Finland, Midsummer night is so short

as that evening duck flows into morning dawn almost unnoticed Even in southern Finland, midnight is the best described as strong twilight

Midsummer night was, most of all, the cerebration of greenery and fruit Nature is in a full bloom then and the day is never-ending It was

customary throughout Finland to bring branches and greenery to indoors on Midsummer Eve Houses were so thoroughly cleaned and decorated with birch branches and flower garlands This ‘indoor forest’ was complete when leaves on the scrubbed floor gave out a fresh forest aroma Midsummer is

still the Finns’ most important summer cerebration They gather together around the bonfire to make dance, play and be with family and friends

themselves In some areas Midsummer poles decorated with flowers garlands and leaves are erected for the festivities Although some of the old ceremonies are now performed only for fun, Midsummer night, as bathed in the strange white light of the North, is still mysterious

Sigmund Fred was not a literary theorist However, he did contribute to critical theory through both his theories and his use of art to show that the application of psychology can extend to the highest forms of cultures Freud was always interested in literature, and he drew some of the best illustrations of his theories from classic poems and plays

Freud saw the unconscious as the impetus of both natural and psychic activity Therefore, the same principles operated in both, and that the same mechanisms – such as displacement and symbolization – applied While Freud was not the first to note the importance of the

unconscious mind, he was the first to attempt to coherent theory of its operation and function He argued that the unconscious operates according to universal law and is crucial to all aspects of mental life that involve fantasy, or diversion from reality From this point of view, it is natural to apply Freudian principles to imaginative literature Writers transform individual, unconscious fantasy into universal art – a kind of formal fantasy halfway between a reality that denies wishes and a world of imagination in which every wish is granted

In focusing on the unconscious origins for literature, Freud was in a sense reviving the

traditional idea of divine inspiration (1) Philosophers and art theorists have often turned to such a theory of the imagination to explain multiple meanings, repetition, and any apparent

disorder in art Similarly, psychoanalysis uses the theory of the unconscious to explain examples of “disorder” in consciousness, such as dreams

(2) This analogy allowed Freud to suggest that fantasies called art could be interpreted in the same way as dreams Writers, as Freud noted, have always seen great significance in dreams In his view, portrayals of dreams in works of literature supported his own theories

displacement and symbolization obviously resemble the literary devices of metaphor and symbolism (3)

Critics of Freud have objected that the non-logical processes of the unconscious not resemble the conscious effort that results in work of literature Freud would reply that while conscious thought is necessary to produce works of art, the creative source of art remain in the conscious In this view, conscious activity merely obscures what is truly important in art What interested Freud were the deep unconscious structure literature shares with myth and religion, as well as with dreams The apparent individuality of literature was not as significant as its ultimate universality (4)

1 Which of the following best states the main idea of the reading?

A The best way to understand the creation of literature is through Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis

B Freud argued convincingly that both psychic phenomena and literature may be interpreted with reference to the unconscious

C Creating works of literature is very similar to dreaming

A He was a literary theorist

B He has had an influence on literary theory

C He wrote several plays and poems that illustrate his theories D He was the first to discover the unconscious

3 The word impetus could be best replace by

A Source B opposite C form D reason The word both refers to

A displacement and symbolization

B repression and the economy of psychic expenditure C cultural and psychic phenomena

“And like dreams, literary works can have more than one interpretation” A (1) B (2) C (3) D (4) According to the passage, displacement in dreams is similar to

8 What is possible objection to the passage’s main idea does the author discuss in the last paragraph?

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 belie 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 discernable 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 signing, 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

46 What does the passage mainly discuss? A The function of the voice in performance B Communication styles

C The connection between voice and personality D The production of speech

A Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are

B The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words C A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication

D Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas 48 The word “Here” in line refers to _

A interpersonal interactions B the tone C ideas and feelings D words chosen 49 The word “derived” in line 13 is closest in meaning to _

A discussed B prepared C registered D obtained

50 Why does the author mention “artistic, political, or pedagogic communication” in line 15? A As examples of public performance B As examples of basic styles of

communication

C To contrast them to singing D To introduce the idea of self-image 51 According to the passage, an exuberant tone of voice may be an indication of a person’s _

A general physical health B personality C ability to communicate D vocal quality

52 According to the passage, an overconfident front may hide _ A hostility B shyness C friendliness D strength

53 The word “drastically” in line 21 is closest in meaning to _ A frequently B exactly C severely D easily 54 The word “evidenced” in line 22 is closest meaning to _

A questioned B repeated C indicated D exaggerated

55 According to the passage, what does a constricted and harsh voice indicate? A Lethargy B Depression C Boredom D Anger

Part 2: Read the text below and then: (3.0 points)

a Choose from the list A-I the sentence which best summarizes each part (56-63) of the article There is one extra sentence which you not need to use

E Added ingredients may improve convenience products F There is now a greater choice of convenience food

G Some convenience products need careful storage and cooking H Convenience food has some advantages

I Convenience products are claimed to be healthy, but in reality that is not true CONVENIENCE FOOD

56 _

Technological advances have dramatically increased the quality and range of convenience meals that are now available Vacuum-packed or frozen pre-cooked meals ready for the

microwave, packets of soup, cake and sauce mixes, instant mashed potato and frozen peas are just a few of the time-saving foods that many people now rely on

57 _

Although pre-prepared meals save time, they may not always be as nutritious as those prepared in your own kitchen This is because each time they are heated they lose some of their vitamins, and many ‘heat-and-eat’ meals have already been cooked before they are reheated Convenience food also tends to contain more sugar, salt and fat than most other food

58 _

However, there are a lot of so-called ‘healthy’ meals, usually identified by ‘healthy eating’ symbols or the manufacturer’s own brand name for their low-calorie products Some labels mention ‘reduced’ or ‘controlled’ sodium, but these may still contain considerable amounts of salt

59 _

A meal in a packet is a useful standby, especially in families who like to eat different things at different times, and for people who work late It is often cheaper than a takeaway and a convenient alternative to cooking from scratch And it saves on washing up

60 _

The ‘healthy’ versions of most pre-prepared dishes are more expensive than their standard equivalents, but may be a better choice if they are lower in fat Levels of other ingredients in the standard and ‘healthy’ varieties are usually similar

61 _

Although some ready-made foods are sold as ‘complete’ meals, they are rarely a good source of vegetables or starchy foods It is a good idea, therefore, to add extra vegetables or a salad along with a starchy food, such as brown rice or a whole meal roll

62 _

keeping it in a refrigerator or freezer, following microwave guidelines and making sure food is really hot before eating

63 _

Although many people view additives with suspicion, they have their advantages Their

presence is often vital if food is not to spoil, and many result in better taste, texture or color All additives are the subject of strict safety checks and allergic reactions are very rare
