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 

    It is hard to think of a world without gas or electricity. Both are commonly used for lighting and heating today. We now can instantly flick a lighter or strike a match to make a flame. But it was not long ago that there were no such things as matches or lighters. To make fire, it was necessary to strike a piece of iron on flint for sparks to ignite some tinder. If the tinder was damp, or the flint old, you had to borrow some fire from a neighbor.

    We do not know exactly when or how people first used fire. Perhaps, many ages ago, they found that sticks would burn if they were dropped into some hole where melted lava from a volcano lay boiling. They brought the lighted sticks back to make their fire in a cave. Or, they may have seen trees catch fire through being struck by lightning, and used the trees to start their own fires.

    Gradually people learned they could start a fire without traveling far to find flames. They rubbed two pieces of wood together. This method was used for thousands of years.

    When people became used to making fires with which to cook food and stay warm at night, they found that certain resins or gums from trees burnt longer and brighter. They melted resins and dipped branches in the liquid to make torches that lit their homes at night. Iron stands in which torches used to be fixed can still be seen in old buildings of Europe.

    There was no lighting in city streets until gas lamps, and then electric lamps were installed. Boys ran about London at night carrying torches of burning material. They were called torch boys, or link boys, and earned a living by guiding visitors to friends’ houses at night.

    For centuries homes were lit by candles until oil was found. Even then, oil lamps were no more effective than a cluster of candles. We read about the splendors and marvels of ancient palaces and castles, but we forget that they must have been gloomy and murky places at night.

Question 43: What does “they” refer to?

    A. people                 B. ages                                    C. sticks                      D. trees

Question 44: According to the passage the first fire used by people was probably obtained ______.  

    A. from the sun’s heat through glass          B. by rubbing wood together

Question 45: It is stated in the passage that torches for lighting were made from ______.

    A. the wood of gum trees                           B. iron bars dipped in melted resins

    C. wooden poles dipped in oil                    D. tree branches dipped in melted resins

Question 46: It is mentioned in the passage that before the electric lamp was invented   

    A. oil lamps and then candles were used 

    B. candles and oil lamps appeared about the same time

    C. candles and then oil lamps were used

    D. people did not use any form of lighting in their houses

Question 47: The word “splendors” in the passage could be best replaced by which of the following?  

    A. expensive objects                                   B. places of scenic beauty

    C. achievements                                          D. the beautiful and impressive features

Question 48: According to the passage, which of the following sentence is NOT true?  

    A. We know exactly when and how people first used fire. 

    B. Before gas lamps and electric lamps appeared, streets were lit by torches.

    C. We can make a fire by striking a piece of iron on flint to ignite some tinder.

    D. Matches and lighters were invented not long ago.

Question 49: The word “gloomy” in the passage is closest in meaning to  

    A. nearly dark                                             B. badly decorated

    C. containing a lot of white                        D. mysterious

Question 50: What form of street lighting was used in London when link boys used to work there? 

    A. Gas lighting        B. No lighting at all.               C. Electric lighting.     D. Oil lighting.

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 1 to 7.

One of the highest honors for formalists, writers, and musical composers is the Pulitzer Prize. First awarded in 1927, the Pulitzer Prize has been won by Ernest Hemingway, Harper Lee, John F. Kennedy, and Rodgers and Hammerstein, among others. As with many famous awards, this prize was named after its founder, Joseph Pulitzer.

Joseph Pulitzer’s story, like that of many immigrants to the United States, is one of hardship, hard work and triumph. Born in Hungary, Joseph Pulitzer moved to United States in 1864. He wanted to be a reporter, but he started his American life by fighting in the American Civil War. After the war, Pulitzer worked for the German - language newspaper, the Westliche Post. His skills as a reporter were wonderful, and he soon became a partial owner of the paper.

In 1978, Pulitzer was able to start a newspaper of his own. Right from the first edition, the newspaper took a controversial approach to new. Pulitzer wanted to appeal to the average reader, so he produced exciting stories of scandal and intrigue. Such an approach is commonplace today, but in Pulitzer’s time it was new and different. The approach led to the discovery of many instances of corruption by influential people. Pulitzer ‘paper became very famous and is still produced today.

The success of Joseph Pulitzer’s newspaper made him a very wealthy man, so he wanted to give something back to his profession. Throughout his later years, he worked to establish university programs for the teaching of journalism, and he funded numerous scholarships to assist journalism students. Finally, he wanted to leave a legacy that would encourage writers to remember the importance of quality. On his death, he gave two million dollars to Columbia University so they could award prizes to great writers.
