Cory is a shy, artistic seven-year-old boy who loves drawing, music and

video games. He lights up when he talks to his parents, Carol and John, about his big

brother and the video game Fortnite. As Cory’s life is mundane and ordinary in many

ways, however, his journey hasn’t exactly been typical.

When Cory was in utero, doctors expected her to be a girl. When he was

delivered, the medical staff in the room looked stunning and went silent. Cory was

born with a phallus, which was medically atypical for individuals with two X

chromosomes. “He had what the medicine establishment considers ‘ambiguous’

genitalia,” Carol says. (Some names have been changed.) “Everyone not me realized

that this was an intersex child. And I think the fear in the room is that I would be

disappointed.” But while doctors and nurses appeared puzzled, Carol wasn’t nearly

so concerned about her child’s sexuality.

“I didn’t really care,” she says. “I told it, ‘I have been waiting a long time to

meet this child, so just give me the baby. The baby was breathing and stable. Can I

just have my kid?’ And the mood became a lot lighter in the room once they realized

that I would never reject my child.” […]

C. READING (30 points)

Part 1. Choose the correct letter A, B, C or D that indicates the correct word that best fits in the numbered

blank.

The issues for (41) ____________ economies are a little more straightforward. The desire to build on

undeveloped land is not (42) ____________ out of desperation or necessity, but is a result of the relentless

march of progress. Cheap labour and a relatively highly-skilled workforce make these countries highly

competitive and there is a flood of inward investment, particularly from (43) ____________ looking to take

advantage of the low wages before the cost and standard of living begin to rise. It is factors such as these that

are making many Asian economies extremely attractive when viewed as investment opportunities at the

moment. Similarly, in Africa, the relative (44) ____________ of precious metals and natural resources tends to

attract a lot of (45) ____________ companies and a whole sub-industry develops around and is completely

dependent on this foreign-direct investment. It is understandable that countries that are the focus of this sort of

attention can lose sight of the environmental implications of large-scale industrial development, and this can

have devastating consequences for the natural world. And it is a (46) ____________ cycle because the more

industrially active a nation becomes, the greater the demand for and harvesting of natural resources. For some,

the environmental issues, though they can hardly be ignored, are viewed as a (47) ____________ concern.

Indeed, having an environmental conscience or taking environmental matters into consideration when it comes

to decisions on whether or not to build rubber-tree (48)____________ or grow biofuel crops would be quite

(49) ____________ indeed. For those involved in such schemes it is a pretty black-and-white issue. And, for

vast (50) ____________ of land in Latin America, for example, it is clear that the welfare of the rainforests

matters little to local government when vast sums of money can be made from cultivating the land.

Part 2. Choose the correct letter A, B, C or D that indicates the correct answer for each question.

The word “synthesize” means to produce by combining separate elements. Thus, synthesized sound is

sound that a musician builds from component elements. A synthesized sound may resemble a traditional

acoustic musical timbre, or it may be completely novel and original. [A] One characteristic is common to all

synthesized music, however. Thesound qualities themselves, as well as the relationships among the sounds,

have been “designed,” or “composed,” by a musician.

Many people believe that synthesized music imitates traditional musical instruments and ensembles. [B]

They believe that synthesized music is created mechanically without control by a musician. These ideas are not

true.

A builder of a traditional musical instrument assembles a collection of acoustic elements whose

interrelationships cannot change. For example, a violin has four strings positioned over a fingerboard and

coupled through the bridge to the violin’s body. Violinists bring the strings into contact with the fingerboard

and a bow to cause the strings to vibrate. The resultant sound is resonated by the hollow body of the violin. [C]

However, vio-linists do not change the relationship of the strings to the bridge, nor that of the bridge to the

body. Nor, do they reconfigure its slightly hour-glass shape.

Synthesists, on the other hand, view their instrument as a collection of parts that they configure to

produce the sounds they want. They call this “programming,” or “patching,” and they may do this before or

during performance. The parts that synthesists work with depend on the design of the instruments that they are

using. In general, synthesizers in- clude elements that generate and combine wave forms and that shape

loudness of the sounds. Other sound-producing and -processing elements, which can exist as electronic circuits

or as built-in computer programs, may also be available. To control these elements, a synthesist may use a

combination of a conventional keyboard and other manual control devices, such as wheels, sliders, and

joysticks. [D]

Part 3. Think of ONE word that best fits in the numbered blank.

Admittedly, the government and city administration cannot ask citizens to stay (61) ________ and

arrange 'work from home' facility for (62) ________ professional as making it a regulation would create

confusion and discontent. Moreover, people need to get outside not only for their professional, shopping and

educational needs but also (63) ________ socialise and for entertainments. Thus restricting people's need to

commute daily (64) ________ like an unrealistic idea to many.

However, there are ways to implement it without creating any confusion and dissatisfaction among

citizens and curbing the (65) ________ problems at the same time. Since we need to reduce the number of

commuters and vehicles from the road, which is the only viable solution to traffic conundrums, we can sort out

the professionals who can work from home and then distribute the facilities like shopping centres, parks and

banks (66) ________ all residential areas so that people can get them within walking distance. For instance, IT

professionals, lawyers, bookkeepers, customer service representatives, instructors and (67) ________ other

professionals do not need to travel to their office daily as they can execute most of their responsibilities from

home with the help of technology.

Moreover, improving some facilities and digitalising many services can deter people (68) ________

unnecessary daily commuting. For instance, many parents travel to their children's school daily to (69)

________ them and pick them up and if schools offer safe and convenient transportation facilities, parents

would rely on such facility rather than travelling daily. Similarly, banking, utility bill payment and help desk

should be digitalised so that we can complete our tasks from (70) ________ rather than visiting those offices.

Part 4. You are going to read about the history of book in Japan. Six sentence was removed from the text.

15). There is ONE example. There is ONE sentence that doesn’t fit in any of the blank.

JAPANESE BOOKS IN THE PAST

Early seventeenth century Japan saw a large amount of extremely detail oriented text being produced.

For instance, Hitomi Hitsudai spent sixty years taking field notes on 499 types of edible flowers and animals in

his book Honchō shokkan (The Culinary Mirror of the Realm). (0) ____F____. Soon after, literacy rates began

to increase as hundreds (by some accounts thousands) of schools taught children the vocabulary of geography,

history, and individual crafts and callings. The highly detailed style still persisted as it was consistent in many

gazetteers, emerging as a social lexicon. In some instances family almanacs and encyclopedias were put

together regionally.

While the highly detailed writing form persisted, a simpler reading style developed in the 1670s that

were written for popular readership. (71) _______ These original tales of fiction were popular among common

samurai as well common townspeople. Works went beyond stories of fiction, but also would depict certain

crafts and manuals specialized for that topic. (72) ________ Authors had, for the first time, to deal with the idea

of the “reading public” for the first time. (73) _______.

Authors had reached a new market with their more simplistic writing. After passing this hurdle, they

began writing about more than specified crafts and social lexicons. (74) ________ Yet still, the detail oriented

writing persisted as writing became understand as something that needed to be “quantitative evidence in order

to measure continuity against change.” The increasing literacy across Japan as well as the proliferation of

authors made writing a semi-autonomous system, but there were still instances of censorship in the late

seventeenth century. (75) ________ This self censorship did have drawbacks as social commentary stayed in

the higher social caste where this information was more readily available. Despite these censors, public readings

increased across Japan and created new markets that could be shared between the higher elites as well as

middlebrow peoples, albeit differing subject matter.

C. It was characterized by a simpler vernacular language, written almost directly for first time book buyers.

D. Authors took into account the differing social stratas of their audience and had to learn “the common forms

E. The format of the book evolved with intermediate stages of scrolls folded concertina-style, scrolls bound at

one edge ("butterfly books") and so on.

F. This overly detailed style of writing was characteristic of the years prior, when the majority of literate people
