Among all the abilities with which an individual may be endowed musical talent appear earliest in life. Very young
children can exhibit musical precocity for different reasons. Some develop exceptional skill as a result of a
well-designed instructed regime, such as the Suzuki method for the violin. Some have the good fortune to be born into
a musical family in a household filled of music. In the number of interesting cases, musical talent is part of an
otherwise disabled condition such as autism or mental retardation. A musically gifted child has an inborn talent;
however, the extent to what the talent is expressed publicly will depend upon the environment in which the child lives.
Musically gifted children master at an early age the principal elements of music, include pitch and rhythm. Pitch - or
melody - is more central in certain culture, for example, in Eastern societies that make use of tiny quarter-tone intervals.
Rhythm, sounds produced at certain auditory frequencies and groups according to a prescribed system, are emphasized
in sub-Saharan Africa, where the rhythmic ratios can be very complex.

PART II: 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 10.
It is almost impossible to write of the Arts in Australia without mentioning the building that first put
Australia firmly on the world cultural map - the Sydney Opera House. Completed in 1973 after 14 years of
much heated discussion and at a cost of over $85 million, it is not only the most well-known Australian
building in the world but perhaps the most famous design of any modern building anywhere.
Page 6 of 12
Its distinctive and highly original shape has been likened to everything from the sails of a sailing ship
to broken eggshells, but few would argue with the claim that the Opera House is a major contribution to
world architecture. Set amidst the graceful splendour of Sydney Harbour, presiding like a queen over the
bustle and brashness of a modern city striving to forge a financial reputation in a tough commercial world, it
is a reminder to all Australians of their deep and abiding love of all things cultural.
The Opera House was designed not by an Australian but by a celebrated Danish architect, JornUtzon,
whose design won an international competition in the late 1950s. However, it was not, in fact, completed to
his original specifications. Plans for much of the intended interior design of the building have only recently
been discovered. Sadly, the State Government of the day interfered with Utzon's plans because of concerns
about the escalating cost, though this was hardly surprising - the building was originally expected to cost
only $8 million. Utzon left the country before completing the project and in a fit of anger vowed never to
return. The project was eventually paid for by a State-run lottery.
The size of the interior of the building was scaled down appreciably by a team of architects whose
job it was to finish construction within a restricted budget. Rehearsal rooms and other facilities for the
various theatres within the complex were either made considerably smaller or cut out altogether, and some
artists have complained bitterly about them ever since. But despite the controversy that surrounded its birth,
the Opera House has risen above the petty squabbling and is now rightfully hailed as a modern architectural
masterpiece. The Queen officially opened the building in 1975 and since then, within its curved and twisted
walls, audiences of all nationalities have been quick to acclaim the many world-class performances of stars
from the Australian opera, ballet and theatre.
1. Which of the following is the Opera House compared to?
A. Everything. B. Most well-known buildings. C. Two images. D. All things cultural.
2. What is the main point of the second paragraph?
A. To tell the history of the building B. To describe the Opera House visually
C. To say why the building was built D. To state where the Opera House is located
3. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.
A. the Opera House is the most beautiful building in the world
B. the State Government was very sad about Utzon's plans
C. the Opera House cost only $8 million to build
D. people didn’t know Utzon's initial plans for interior design until recently
4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Utzon designed the roof to look like the sails of a sailing ship.
B. The cost of construction went more than $75 million over budget.
C. The Opera House drew world attention to the Arts in Australia.
D. The building is possibly the most famous of its type in the world.
5. The word abiding in the second paragraph means __________.
A. constant and immovable B. long lasting and insignificant
C. unshakable and permanent D. enduring and unspoilt
Page 7 of 12
6. It is stated in the passage that __________.
A. Utzon never returned to Australia to see the building
B. there are complaints from some artists
C. there is only one theatre within the complex
D. Sydney is a quiet and graceful city
7. The word appreciably in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.
A. appreciatively. B. gratefully. C. admiringly. D. substantially.
8. The pronoun them in the last paragraph refers to which of the following?
A. A team of architects. B. Rehearsal rooms and other facilities.
C. Some artists. D. Various theatres.
9. Why is it almost impossible to talk of the Arts in Australia without mentioning the Opera House?
A. Because it has put Australia on the world map.
B. Because it cost over $85 million to build.
C. Because it is a major contribution to world architecture.
D. Because it took 14 years to complete.
10. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. History of a Queen. B. A Dane in our lives.
C. Utzon quits Australia. D. An Architectural Disaster.

Simply Entertainment?
Many youngsters these days easily devote more time to the box than they (1) __________ to any
other form of entertainment. Each year children read less and less and watch television more and more. In
fact, a typical child sits through an average of about four hours of TV viewing a day. They spend more time
on this form of entertainment (2) __________ they spend talking to parents, playing with friends, attending
school or reading books.
According to a recent study, sixty-two percent of television programmes contain scenes of violence.
It would be logical then to assume that watching a steady flow of violent images on screen cannot (3)
__________ seen simply as entertainment. The bright colours, quick movements and sudden flashes will
always capture a child’s attention and there are certainly very (4) __________ children who find television
totally uninteresting.
If we listen to the experts, it seems that viewing large amounts of TV violence does not necessarily
cause a child to act in a violent (5) __________, but can lead to the view that violence (6) __________
acceptable in everyday life, as well as possibly creating a fear of being attacked on the streets.
Page 8 of 12

PART IV: Read the following passage and do the tasks below.
THE END OF THE SILVER SCREEN?
Cinema technology has remained much the same for a century, so when will it go digital? Kelvin Hilton
views the projections.
A Cinema is full of contradictions. It is high- tech and old- fashioned at the same time. Today’s films are
full of digital sound and computer- generated special effects. Yet they are still stored on celluloid film, the
basis of which is more than 100 years old. They are also displayed with projectors and screens that seem to
belong to our great- grandparents’ generation.
B Now we are in the second century of cinema, there are moves to bring the medium right up to date. This
will involve revolutionizing not just how films are made but also how they are distributed and presented.
The aim is not only to produce and prepare films digitally, but to be able to send them to movie theatres by
digital, electronic means. High- resolution digital projectors would then show the film. Supporters say this
will make considerable savings at all stages of this chain, particularly for distribution.
C With such a major technological revolution on the horizon, it seems strange that the industry is still not
sure what to call itself. This may appear a minor point, but the choices, ‘digital’ cinema and ‘electronic’
cinema (e- cinema), suggest different approaches to, and aspects of, the business. Digital cinema refers to
the physical capture of images; e-cinema covers the whole chain, from production through post- production
(editing, addition of special effects and construction of soundtrack) to distribution and projection.
D What about the effects of the new medium? The main selling point of digital cinema is the high
resolution and sharpness of the final image. But those who support the old- fashioned approach to film point
to the celluloid medium’s quality of warmth. A recurring criticism of video is that it may be too good:
uncomfortably real, rather like looking through an open window. In 1989, the director of the first full- length
American digital high-definition movie admitted that the picture had a ‘stark, strange reality to it’.
E Even the money–saving aspect of e-cinema is doubted. One expert says that exciting cinema will have
to show the new material and not all of them will readily or rapidly furnish themselves with the right
equipment. ‘E-cinema is seen as a way of saving money, because print costs a lot,’ he says. ‘But for that to
work, cinemas have to be showing the films because cinemas are the engine that drives the film industry.’
F This view has prompted some pro-digital entrepreneurs to take a slightly different approach. HD Thames
is looking at reinventing the existing cinema market, moving towards e-theatre, which would use digital
Page 9 of 12
video and projection to present plays, musicals and some sporting events to the public. This is not that
different from the large-screen TV system that was set up in New York in 1930 and John Logie Baird’s
experiments with TV in the late 1920s and early 30s.
Task 1. The Reading Passage above has eight paragraphs A-F. From the list of headings below, choose
the most suitable heading for each paragraph. Write the appropriate numbers (i-ix) in boxes 1-6.

Write your answers in the box provided.
There are big changes ahead for cinema if digital production takes place and the industry no longer
uses (7) _____ and gets rid of the old-fashioned projectors and screens used to show movies. The main

picture will lack (8) _____ .
In addition, digital production will only reduce costs if cinemas are willing to buy new (9) _____. As

It is almost impossible to write of the Arts in Australia without mentioning the building that first put
Australia firmly on the world cultural map - the Sydney Opera House. Completed in 1973 after 14 years of
much heated discussion and at a cost of over $85 million, it is not only the most well-known Australian
building in the world but perhaps the most famous design of any modern building anywhere. Page 6 of 12
Its distinctive and highly original shape has been likened to everything from the sails of a sailing ship
to broken eggshells, but few would argue with the claim that the Opera House is a major contribution to
world architecture. Set amidst the graceful splendour of Sydney Harbour, presiding like a queen over the
bustle and brashness of a modern city striving to forge a financial reputation in a tough commercial world, it
is a reminder to all Australians of their deep and abiding love of all things cultural.
The Opera House was designed not by an Australian but by a celebrated Danish architect, JornUtzon,
whose design won an international competition in the late 1950s. However, it was not, in fact, completed to
his original specifications. Plans for much of the intended interior design of the building have only recently
been discovered. Sadly, the State Government of the day interfered with Utzon's plans because of concerns
about the escalating cost, though this was hardly surprising - the building was originally expected to cost
only $8 million. Utzon left the country before completing the project and in a fit of anger vowed never to
return. The project was eventually paid for by a State-run lottery.
The size of the interior of the building was scaled down appreciably by a team of architects whose
job it was to finish construction within a restricted budget. Rehearsal rooms and other facilities for the
various theatres within the complex were either made considerably smaller or cut out altogether, and some
artists have complained bitterly about them ever since. But despite the controversy that surrounded its birth,
the Opera House has risen above the petty squabbling and is now rightfully hailed as a modern architectural
masterpiece. The Queen officially opened the building in 1975 and since then, within its curved and twisted
walls, audiences of all nationalities have been quick to acclaim the many world-class performances of stars
from the Australian opera, ballet and theatre.
1. Which of the following is the Opera House compared to? A. Everything. B. Most well-known buildings. C. Two images. D. All things cultural.
2. What is the main point of the second paragraph?
A. To tell the history of the building
B. To describe the Opera House visually
C. To say why the building was built
D. To state where the Opera House is located
3. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.
A. the Opera House is the most beautiful building in the world
B. the State Government was very sad about Utzon's plans
C. the Opera House cost only $8 million to build
D. people didn’t know Utzon's initial plans for interior design until recently
4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Utzon designed the roof to look like the sails of a sailing ship.
B. The cost of construction went more than $75 million over budget.
C. The Opera House drew world attention to the Arts in Australia.
D. The building is possibly the most famous of its type in the world.
5. The word “abiding” in the second paragraph means __________. A. constant and immovable
B. long lasting and insignificant C. unshakable and permanent D. enduring and unspoilt Page 7 of 12
6. It is stated in the passage that __________.
A. Utzon never returned to Australia to see the building
B. there are complaints from some artists
C. there is only one theatre within the complex
D. Sydney is a quiet and graceful city
7. The word “appreciably” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to __________. A. appreciatively. B. gratefully.
C. admiringly. D. substantially.
8. The pronoun “them” in the last paragraph refers to which of the following? A. A team of architects.
B. Rehearsal rooms and other facilities. C. Some artists. D. Various theatres.
9. Why is it almost impossible to talk of the Arts in Australia without mentioning the Opera House?
A. Because it has put Australia on the world map.
B. Because it cost over $85 million to build.
C. Because it is a major contribution to world architecture.
D. Because it took 14 years to complete.
10. Which could be the best title for the passage? A. History of a Queen. B. A Dane in our lives. C. Utzon quits Australia. D. An Architectural Disaster. YOUR ANSWERS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
PART III: Read the text below and think of the word which best fits each space. Use only ONE
WORD in each space. Write your answers in the box provided.
Simply Entertainment?
Many youngsters these days easily devote more time to the box than they (1) __________ to any
other form of entertainment. Each year children read less and less and watch television more and more. In
fact, a typical child sits through an average of about four hours of TV viewing a day. They spend more time
on this form of entertainment (2) __________ they spend talking to parents, playing with friends, attending school or reading books.
According to a recent study, sixty-two percent of television programmes contain scenes of violence.
It would be logical then to assume that watching a steady flow of violent images on screen cannot (3)
__________ seen simply as entertainment. The bright colours, quick movements and sudden flashes will
always capture a child’s attention and there are certainly very (4) __________ children who find television totally uninteresting.
If we listen to the experts, it seems that viewing large amounts of TV violence does not necessarily
cause a child to act in a violent (5) __________, but can lead to the view that violence (6) __________
acceptable in everyday life, as well as possibly creating a fear of being attacked on the streets. Page 8 of 12

must now become aware that (8) __________ many hours of viewing can have serious effects (9)
__________ a child’s behavior and attitude. Obviously, turning off the set (10) __________ be the best solution in the end. YOUR ANSWERS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10
PART IV: Read the following passage and do the tasks below.
THE END OF THE SILVER SCREEN?
Cinema technology has remained much the same for a century, so when will it go digital? Kelvin Hilton views the projections.
A Cinema is full of contradictions. It is high- tech and old- fashioned at the same time. Today’s films are
full of digital sound and computer- generated special effects. Yet they are still stored on celluloid film, the
basis of which is more than 100 years old. They are also displayed with projectors and screens that seem to
belong to our great- grandparents’ generation.
B Now we are in the second century of cinema, there are moves to bring the medium right up to date. This
will involve revolutionizing not just how films are made but also how they are distributed and presented.
The aim is not only to produce and prepare films digitally, but to be able to send them to movie theatres by
digital, electronic means. High- resolution digital projectors would then show the film. Supporters say this
will make considerable savings at all stages of this chain, particularly for distribution.
C With such a major technological revolution on the horizon, it seems strange that the industry is still not
sure what to call itself. This may appear a minor point, but the choices, ‘digital’ cinema and ‘electronic’
cinema (e- cinema), suggest different approaches to, and aspects of, the business. Digital cinema refers to
the physical capture of images; e-cinema covers the whole chain, from production through post- production
(editing, addition of special effects and construction of soundtrack) to distribution and projection.
D What about the effects of the new medium? The main selling point of digital cinema is the high
resolution and sharpness of the final image. But those who support the old- fashioned approach to film point
to the celluloid medium’s quality of warmth. A recurring criticism of video is that it may be too good:
uncomfortably real, rather like looking through an open window. In 1989, the director of the first full- length
American digital high-definition movie admitted that the picture had a ‘stark, strange reality to it’.
E Even the money–saving aspect of e-cinema is doubted. One expert says that exciting cinema will have
to show the new material and not all of them will readily or rapidly furnish themselves with the right
equipment. ‘E-cinema is seen as a way of saving money, because print costs a lot,’ he says. ‘But for that to
work, cinemas have to be showing the films because cinemas are the engine that drives the film industry.’
F This view has prompted some pro-digital entrepreneurs to take a slightly different approach. HD Thames
is looking at reinventing the existing cinema market, moving towards e-theatre, which would use digital Page 9 of 12
video and projection to present plays, musicals and some sporting events to the public. This is not that
different from the large-screen TV system that was set up in New York in 1930 and John Logie Baird’s
experiments with TV in the late 1920s and early 30s.
Task 1. The Reading Passage above has eight paragraphs A-F. From the list of headings below, choose
the most suitable heading for each paragraph. Write the appropriate numbers (i-ix) in boxes 1-6.

There are big changes ahead for cinema if digital production takes place and the industry no longer
