V. READING COMPREHENSION (20 pts)
READING PASSAGE 1 (10 pts)
Read the following text and choose the best option to answer the question.
The first peoples to inhabit what today is the southeastern United States sustained
themselves as hunters and gathers. Sometimes early in the first millennium A.D., however,
they began to cultivate corn and other crops. Gradually, as they became more skilled at
Line gardening, they settled into permanent villages and developed a rich culture, characterized
(5) by the great earthen mounds they erected as monuments to their gods and as tombs for
their distinguished dead. Most of these early mound builders were part of the
Adena-Hopewell culture, which had its beginnings near the Ohio River and takes its name
from sites in Ohio. The culture spread southward into the present-day states of Louisiana,
Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Its peoples became great traders, bartering jewellery,
(10) pottery, animal pelts, tools, and other goods along extensive trading networks that
stretched up and down eastern North America and as far west as the Rocky Mountains.
About A.D. 400, the Hopewell culture fell into decay. Over the next centuries, it was
supplanted by another culture, the Mississippian, named after the river along which many
of its earliest villages were located. This complex civilization dominated the Southeast
(15) from about A.D. 700 until shortly before the Europeans began arriving in the sixteenth
century. At the peak of its strength, about the year 1200, it was the most advanced culture
in North America. Like their Hopewell predecessors, the Mississippians became highly
skilled at growing food, although on a grander scale. They developed an improved strain of
corn, which could survive in wet soil and a relatively cool climate, and also learned to
(20) cultivate beans. Indeed, agriculture became so important to the Mississippians that it became
closely associated with the Sun – the guarantor of good crops. Many tribes called
themselves "children of the Sun" and believed their omnipotent priest-chiefs were
descendants of the great sun god.
Although most Mississippians lived in small villages, many others inhabited large
towns. Most of these towns boasted at least one major flat-topped mound on which stood a
temple that contained a sacred flame. Only priests and those charged with guarding the
flame could enter the temples. The mounds also served as ceremonial and trading sites,
and at times they were used as burial grounds.

43. What does the term "Adena-Hopewell" (line 7) designate?
(A) The early locations of the Adena-Hopewell culture
(B) The two most important nations of the Adena-Hopewell culture

READING PASSAGE 2 (10 pts)
Read the following text and choose the best option to answer the question. SPEAKING IN ONE TONGUE
As American English threatens to dominate the world, could the Internet offer the best
hope of saving dying languages?
English is spreading and it has been predicted that one in ten of the world’s 6,000
languages will become extinct over the next century. Up to half of the world’s languages are
no longer being taught to children, threatening them with eventual extinction. Even countries
with millions of native language speakers are so worried by the growth of English that they
have devised policies to fight back.
The French have brought in regulations to combat what they see as an American cultural
invasion. Corporations and government bodies are not allowed to use English terms where
there are French equivalents. And to ensure there are as many of these as possible, a
Terminology Commission has been set up with the task of creating them. There is widespread
concern that the American influence could mean local films, TV, music and books get pushed
into the background. In order to protect local language and culture, The European Union
introduced new legislation which states that half of the TV programmers shown in member states must be European.
New technology does not make things easy for other languages. It is especially difficult to
hold back the tide of English words in high-tech industries because many of the innovations
are American. The German have their own words for “computer”, ‘smart-card”, “DVD”,
“modem” and “handheld PC”, but hardly anyone uses them. Until recently all university
subjects in Malaysia were taught in Malay. Now, however, universities have had to make
exceptions for Information Technology, as the majority of IT textbooks are in English and
they simply do not have the time or resources to translate them.
Today, there is another medium to worry about: The Internet. English accounts for about
90 percent of traffic and World Wide Web will only accelerate its spread around the world.
Unlike broadcasting, however, most communication on the Net is written, so it indent pose
the same threat to regional accents and dialects. It is also decentralized and more interactive
than broadcasting, which may help to prevent the disappearance of minority languages.
Even if English were universally adopted, this would not mean the end of diversity.
Languages are constantly adapting and English is not exactly the same the world over: you
only have to compare American and British English to realize that. The Net, too, is an
instrument of change. Because Net communication is mainly written, many people use
abbreviations to speed things up and this trend means the language is evolving with Internet
use. In 10 to 20 years from now the English on the Net may well be unrecognizable compared with the English we know now.
English will continue to spread and evolve with the Net but people will still speak their
own languages. In most cases, they’ll use English for electronic communication, but native
languages at home. Languages are more than just a means of communication: they are also an
important part of regional cultures and identities and they do not disappear easily. For
centuries, the trading world spoke Latin but it didn’t go away with French or German.
Instead, Latin became the dead language.
Languages have their own dynamics and there is little governments can do to change their
course. In 18th – century Germany, Frederick II set up a commission to get rid of French
words from German. It failed because the dynamics of a language come from the bottom up rather than the top down.
English may dominate but it won’t wipe every other language off the face of the Earth
and it won’t be the same English spoken everywhere. This may not be enough to prevent the
disappearance of some of the world’s languages, but it does mean that there will not be a
boring worldwide uniformity.
51. Faced with the dominance of English, what does the writer think will happen to the world’s other languages?
A. Many will exist alongside English.
B. They will only be spoken at home. C. Most of them will die out.
D. They will consist mainly of English words.
52. According to the writer, one reason why some languages will become extinct is that …….
A. English has become the first language in some countries.
B. there are not enough language teachers.
C. they are not spoken all the time.
D. young people are not learning them.
53. The French government introduced regulations in order to………
A. limit the use of English words.
B. increase the number of native language speakers.
C. control the amount of American English spoken.
D. restrict the number of English films on television.
54. The phrase "hold back " in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to A. impede the progress of. B. have the influence of C. maintain the grip of D. maintain the position of
55. What does “they’ (in the last sentence of paragraph 3) refer to?
A. university subjects B. Malaysian universities C. exceptions D. IT textbooks
56. The writer says that as a result of the Internet some languages might…….. A. be saved from extinction B. become more widespread
C. only be used in written form
D. no longer be used on radio and television
57. According to the writer, what effect will the Internet have on English?
A. English on the Internet could soon be difficult to understand.
B. English will be quicker to read.
C. British English words will not be used on the Internet.
D. The appearance of English could change considerably on the Internet.
58. What does the writer mean when he says “the dynamics of a language come from the
bottom up rather than the top down” (in next-to –the last paragraph)?
A. The least frequent words of a language are the first to change.
B. Changes in language are not determined by how powerful a country is.
C. People, not governments, determine what happens to a language.
D. Unwanted foreign words disappear naturally.
59. The phrase “wipe off” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to A. cancel B. remove C. delete D. clean

Human memory, formally believed to rather inefficient, is now really more sophisticated
than that of a computer. Researchers approaches the problem from a variety of points of view
have all concluded that there is a great deal more stores in our minds than has been
generally supposed. Dr Wilder, a Canadian neurosurgeon, proved that on stimulating their
brains electric, he could elicit the total recall of specific events in the subjects’ lives. Even
dreams and other minor events supposed forgotten for many years suddenly emerged in detail.
Although the physical basis for memory is not stil understood, one theory is that the
fantastic capacity for storage in the brain is the result of an almost limited combination of
interconnections between brain cells, stimulated by patterns of activity. Repeated references to
the same information supports recall. Or, to say that another way, improved performance is the
result of strengthening the chemical bonds in the memory. Mistake Correction 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
