Question II. Read the following passage and then choose the most suitable word or phrase for each space.

The modern comic strip started out as ammunition in a newspaper war between giants of the American press
in the late nineteenth century. The first full-color comic strip appeared in January 1894 in the New York World,
owned by Joseph Pulitzer. The first regular weekly full-color comic supplement, similar to today’s Sunday
funnies, appeared two years later, in William Randolph Hearst’s rival New York paper, the Morning Journal.
Both were immensely popular and publishers realized that supplementing the news with comic relief boosted
the sale of papers. The Morning Journal started another feature in 1896, the “Yellow Kid”, the first continuous
comic character in the United States, whose creator, Richard Outcault, had been lured away from the World by
the ambitious Hearst. The “Yellow Kid” was in many ways a pioneer. Its comic dialogue was the strictly urban
farce that came to characterize later strips, and it introduced the speech balloon inside the strip, usually placed
above the characters’ heads.
The first strip to incorporate all the elements of later comics was Rudolph Dirks’s “Katzenjammer Kids”,
based on Wilhelm Busch’s Max and Moritz, a European satire of the nineteenth century. The “Kids” strip, first
published in 1897, served as the prototype for future American strips. It contained not only speech balloons, but
a continuous cast of characters, and was divided into small regular panels that did away with the larger panoramic scenes of earlier comics.
Newspaper syndication played a major role in spreading the popularity of comic strips throughout the country.
Though weekly colored comics came first, daily black-and-white strips were not far behind. The first appeared
in the Chicago American in 1904. It was followed by many imitators, and by 1915 black-and-white comic strips
had become a staple of daily newspapers around the country.
56. In what order does the author discuss various comic strips in the passage?
A. In the order in which they were created.
B. From most popular to least popular.
C. According to the newspaper in which they appeared.
D. In alphabetical order by title.
57. According to the passage, the “Yellow Kid” was the first comic strip to do all of the following EXCEPT _______.
A. feature the same character in each episode B. include dialogue inside a balloon C. appear in a
Chicago newspaper D. characterize city life in a humorous way 58. The word “prototype” in
paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______. A. model B. story C. humor D. drawing
59. The word “incorporate” in paragraph 3is closest in meaning to _______.
A. combine B. mention C. create D. affect 4 lOMoARcPSD|50202050
60. The passage suggests that comic strips were popular for which of the following reasons? A. Readers enjoyed the unusual drawings.
B. They were about real-life situations.
C. Readers could identify with the characters. D. They provided a break from serious news stories.
61. To say that Richard Outcault had been “lured away from” the World by Hearst means which of the following?
A. Hearst warned Outcault not to leave the World. B. Hearst convinced Outcault to leave the World.
C. Hearst fired Outcault from the World. D. Hearst wanted Outcault to work for the World.
62. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The differences between early and modern comic strips.
B. Features of early comic strips in the United States.
C. The effects of newspapers on comic strip stories.
D. A comparison of two popular comic strips.
Question III. Read the following passage and then choose the most suitable word or phrase for each space.
Write the answers on your answer sheet. (8 points)
There are three basic types of classroom learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. These
learning styles describe the most common ways that people learn. Individuals tend to instinctively prefer one
style over the others; thus each person has a learning style that is dominant even though he or she may also rely
somewhat on the other approaches at different times and in different circumstances.
Visual learners prefer to sit somewhere in the classroom where no obstructions hinder their view of the
lesson. They rely on the teacher's facial expressions and body language to aid their learning. They learn best from
a blend of visual displays and presentations such as colorful videos, diagrams, and flip-charts. Often, these
learners think in pictures and may even close their eyes to visualize or remember something. When they are
bored, they look around for something to watch. Many visual learners lack confidence in their auditory memory
skills and so may take detailed notes during classroom discussions and lectures.
Auditory learners sit where they can hear well. They enjoy listening and talking, so discussions and verbal
lectures stimulate them. Listening to what others have to say and then talking the subject through helps them
process new information. These learners may be heard reading to themselves out loud because they can absorb
written information better in this way. Sounding out spelling words, reciting mathematical theories, or talking
their way across a map are examples of the types of activities that improve their understanding.
Kinpsthptic learners may find it difficult to sit still in a conventional classroom. They need to be
physically active and take frequent breaks. When they are bored, they fidget in their seats. They prefer to sit
someplace where there is room to move about. They benefit from manipulating materials and learn best when
classroom subjects such as math, science, and reading are processed through hands-on experiences. Incorporating
arts-and-crafts activities, building projects, and sports into lessons helps kinesthetic learners process new
information. Physical expressions of encouragement, such as a pat on the back, are often appreciated.
In addition to these traditional ways of describing learning styles, educators have identified other ways
some students prefer to learn. Verbal learners, for example, enjoy using words, both written and spoken. Logical
learners are strong in the areas of logic and reasoning. Social learners do best when working in groups, whereas
solitary learners prefer to work alone. Research shows that each of these learning styles, as well as the visual,
auditory, and kinesthetic styles, uses different parts of the brain. Students may prefer to focus on just one style,
but practicing other styles involves more of the brain's potential and therefore helps students remember more of
what they learn. (Adapted from Essential words for the IELTS by Dr. Lin Lougheed)
63. What topic does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Fundamental kinds of learning approaches B. Different classrooms for different learner groups
C. The most common way to learn
D. Basic classrooms for individuals
64. The word “dominant” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to 5 lOMoARcPSD|50202050 A. successful B. foremost C. familiar D. distinctive
65. According to the second paragraph, visual learners _______
A. have a preference for sitting at the backs of the classrooms
B. must keep an eye on the pictures to memorize the content of the lessons
C. are easy to get fed up with the lessons.
D. are not confident in remembering what they have listened.
66. The word “blend" in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by _______ A. division B. list C. mixture. D. separation
67. The word " conventional " in the fourth paragraph could be best replaced by A. traditional B. modern C. large D. crowded
68. Which of the following is NOT true about auditory learners?
A. They get information and the content of the lecturers aurally and orally.
B. Reciting the lessons aloud is an effective way to understand the subjects,
C. They always fidget when they are indifferent to the lectures.
D. They merely learn well when they are able to listen to the lessons clearly.
69. The following are suggested methods to attract kinesthetic learners, EXCEPT
A. merging arts-and-crafts activities
B. integrating projects and sports into the lessons
C. stimulating them by physical expressions D. isolating them in a customary classroom
70. What did the author suggest learners in order to keep in their mind what they learnt in the last paragraph? A.
practicing merely one style of learning to make the brain work more effectively.
B. Using variety of learning methods to increase the potential of their brain.
C. Using both written and spoken words to improve their logical thoughts.
D. Identifying the most suitable learning style themselves.
