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. (1-5)
British family values have evolved significantly over the past century, reflecting changes in society,
culture, and the economy. Traditionally, British families were often large, with multiple generations
living under one roof, and the father was typically the primary breadwinner while the mother took
care of the home and children. However, modern British families come in all shapes and sizes,
including single-parent families, blended families, and childless couples.
A core value that remains strong in British families is the importance of quality time spent
together. Many families make it a point to have meals together, go on outings, or engage in
recreational activities during weekends and holidays. Celebrations such as Christmas, Easter, and
birthdays are significant events that bring families together, reinforcing their bonds and traditions.
Respect for individuality and personal space is another crucial aspect of British family values.
While togetherness is encouraged, it's equally important for family members to respect each other's
privacy and personal time. This balance helps maintain harmony and understanding within the household.
Education and self-improvement are highly valued in British families. Parents often emphasize
the importance of education and encourage their children to pursue higher studies and personal
development. This focus on education is seen as a means to secure a better future and enhance one's quality of life.
Moreover, British families are increasingly supportive of gender equality and shared
responsibilities. It is now common for both parents to work and share household chores and
childcare duties. This shift reflects broader societal changes towards more equal and inclusive family dynamics.
As British family values continue to evolve, the underlying principles of love, respect, and
support remain constant. These values not only shape the family unit but also contribute to the
broader community and societal well-being.

A. British families traditionally had multiple generations living together.
B. Modern British families always consist of a mother, father, and children.
C. Respect for individuality is crucial in British family values.

Read the following passage and decide whether the sentenses are True (T) , False (F) or Not Given (NG) The Role of Music in Life
Music has long held a significant place in human history and culture, transcending
boundaries of language, geography, and time. Its impact on human life is profound, with influences
extending from emotional well-being to social bonding and even cognitive development. Scholars
and psychologists have studied music’s effects and discovered its ability to shape moods, reinforce
memories, and promote mental health. This passage delves into the multifaceted role music plays in
our lives and its implications for various aspects of human existence.
From ancient times, music has served as a means of communication and expression.
Primitive societies used rhythm and melody to tell stories, celebrate, and even mourn. These
functions remain in modern cultures, where people use music to convey emotions that words may
not express fully. Research suggests that music can evoke a wide range of feelings, from joy and
excitement to sadness and nostalgia. This emotional connection makes music a powerful tool for
self-expression and mental release, which many people seek during times of stress or emotional
turmoil. Beyond personal emotional effects, music also fosters social connections. Group singing, for
example, has been shown to strengthen bonds among participants by creating a sense of unity and
shared purpose. Choirs, musical groups, and community singing events offer individuals an
opportunity to connect with others who share similar interests. Scientists note that group music-
making can lead to the release of oxytocin, often known as the “bonding hormone,” which
strengthens social ties and contributes to a sense of belonging.
Music’s impact goes beyond emotions and social life; it also influences brain function and
development. Studies in neuroscience have found that musical training can enhance cognitive
abilities, particularly in children. Learning to play an instrument, for instance, has been shown to
improve skills such as memory, attention, and even language abilities. Additionally, listening to
music can stimulate various regions of the brain involved in concentration, which can enhance
productivity and focus in both children and adults. Thus, incorporating music into educational
settings or everyday routines can support cognitive development and mental acuity.
Moreover, music therapy has emerged as a promising field that utilizes music’s power to
promote healing and well-being. Therapists often use music to treat patients with conditions like
depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. The soothing qualities of certain melodies can alleviate
symptoms of mental distress, offering comfort and relaxation. Some hospitals and clinics
incorporate music therapy as part of a holistic approach to patient care, recognizing its potential to
improve physical and emotional health.
In conclusion, music’s role in life is diverse and far-reaching. It has the power to evoke deep
emotions, connect people socially, enhance cognitive abilities, and even contribute to physical and
mental health. As we continue to understand more about music’s influence on the brain and human
behavior, its significance in our lives becomes increasingly evident. From personal enjoyment to
therapeutic applications, music remains a vital component of human life and well-being.
31. Music has always been used only for entertainment purposes throughout human history.
32. Singing in groups can help people feel more connected to one another.
33. Playing a musical instrument can improve children’s memory and attention.
34. The passage states that music therapy can completely cure chronic diseases. 10
35. Hospitals sometimes include music therapy as part of their patient treatment programs.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Many people go through life only thinking about their own well-being and that of those around
them. In reality, the well-being of the environment is just as important in certain ways. Without a
healthy and sustainable environment, their own health and ability to leave behind a sustainable planet
to those who live after them is negatively affected. Therefore, two main environmental benefits can
be realised with greener living.
Firstly, people can conserve natural resources. The natural resources that man has been
enjoying are beginning to disappear. Due to population growth, it is estimated that the use of natural
resources has more than tripled since 1970. At that rate, it is not difficult to see how these same
resources will eventually become depleted. It is important to conserve those precious resources so
that others after this generation can enjoy the same quality of living on this planet.
Secondly, people can reduce the harmful effects of climate change. Primarily due to human’s
reliance on fossil fuels over the years, climate change is a real concern. People continue to release
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, further polluting the air. This is leading to dramatic changes in
temperatures that need to be stopped. Greener living aims to do exactly that. For every person who
makes an effort to reduce his or her carbon footprint in the world, climate change can begin to become less of a concern over time.
Question 36: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Natural Resources
B. The Benefits of Green Living
C. The Effects of Climate Change D. A Healthy Environment
Question 37: The word “depleted” in paragraph 2 is opposite in meaning to ________. A. run out B. picked up C. filled in D. searched for
Question 38: The word “This” in paragraph 3 refers to________.
