A) are overly sensitive towards and are influenced
more by music
Beautiful, peaceful music is thought to have a
wonderful, even healing effect on man's mind and
spirit. It is known to have a leading effect on the
human soul, as it leads it to certain states, either
joyful, or sad, more or less profound. The same
thing is likely to happen to animals. You might
have noticed your cat leaving the room when you
listen to a hard rock piece, or see it relaxing on a
chill out tune. So what is it with music and living
creatures? If they like that particular music,
animals would come closer to the source it
produces it, in order to fully enjoy those pieces of
art. Music can even have a soothing effect for a
suffering, ill animal. The same thing is known to
happen to plants, which can blossom to certain
beautiful musical works. One explanation to this
phenomenon might be that, since we as human
beings, plants and animals are part of the same
process, we are likely to respond to the same
stimuli and to find peace, bliss, beauty and joy in
the very same things. Apparently, tranquility
inducing music can ease both physical pain in an
animal, and psychological disturbances caused by
abandonment,
abuse,
loneliness,
sadness,
different traumas or any other negative emotions.
B) prefer relaxing on soft music to listening to
hard rock as their owners do

A) all living beings share the same essence,
which explains why they are affected by the
same music
B) the positive influence of music can be
observed on plants much better than it does on
animals
C) animals approach the works of art if they derive
pleasure from them
D) humans, plants and animals have similar
sensory organs that respond similarly to any
external stimuli

living beings

A) animals treat each other the same way human

may have a different effect on other living
beings
B) may act as a means for humans to establish
interspecies communication

systems to reach the man’s soul

A) the term “Namaste” has lost its original
meaning and assumed a completely different
one
Namaste has been the traditional Hindu greeting to
both family as well as strangers. However, with
cordiality escaping from our hearts, the use of the
term is becoming more like a burdensome ritual,
and at some instances the greeting is considered
an inferior version of “Hi!” The biggest evidence
comes from the fact that many Indians do not
bother to reply back to a Namaste with a Namaste.
Some would just nod, while others may simply
ignore you. Though the ideal response to Namaste
in Indian culture involves repeating the same term
with folded hands, even if the initial greeting comes
from a child or a financially disadvantaged person,
some hesitate to use the greeting for even elder
relatives. Because Namaste means “I bow to the
Lord in you,” the few that do respond may not
mean it when they utter it. In such an environment,
has the greeting become obsolete? While this
greeting is physically spoken to a human being, it
is actually directed towards God, who resides in all
and when your communication (or any other
karma) is for the Lord, whether the person you
communicate to reciprocates with a good wish
should never be a concern.
B) people are no longer as polite and considerate
as they used to be in the past
C) it is perfectly acceptable to respond to
“Namaste” with a slight move of the head
D) “Namaste” can only be used to greet people in
Hindu faith, not strangers
E) “Hi!” may be a more appropriate word to use
while greeting people today in India
49. We learn from the passage that, when someone
greets another saying “Namaste,” ----.
A) the age of this person determines the kind of
response he ought to receive from the other
B) the response depends on the other’s financial
and social status
C) it is acceptable not to say anything back
D) the other must nod first but may only say “Hi!”
E) the other is supposed to bring his hands
together and say the same thing back
47. In his discussion of the main issue, the writer
generally ----.
50. The writer makes the point that the importance
of term “Namaste” ----.
A) informs the reader about the origins and the
proper use of the term “Namaste”
A) lies in the fact that it is a unifying element in
many cultures
B) talks about the loss of traditions and its
negative outcomes
B) resides in the fact that a bow accompanies it
which shows utter respect for the addressee
C) proudly describes the diversity of the society
he lives in
C) comes from the fact that it is actually
addressed to the God not to the addressee
D) complains about the gradual ignorance of the
use of a traditional Hindu greeting phrase
D) comes from its meaning, which makes it a
burdensome ritual that people begin to leave

interactions

communication

A) took its name from the city which was home to
a disaster involving mercury toxicity
Nations have begun signing a legally binding treaty
designed to curb mercury pollution and the use of
the toxic metal in products around the globe.
Mercury can produce a range of adverse human
health effects, including permanent damage to the
nervous system. The UN treaty was formally
adopted at a high level meeting in Japan. The
Minamata Convention was named after the
Japanese city that, in the 1950s, saw one of the
world's worst cases of mercury poisoning. In
January, four years of negotiations concluded with
more than 140 countries agreeing on a set of
legally binding measures to curb mercury pollution.
UN data showed that mercury emissions were
rising in a number of developing nations. One
recent assessment said the concentration of
mercury in the top 100m of the world's oceans had
doubled over the past century, and estimated that
260 tons of the toxic metal had made their way
from soil into rivers and lakes. Another
characteristic, it added, was that mercury became
more concentrated as it moved up the food chain,
reaching its highest levels in predator fish that
could be consumed by humans. Mercury is highly
toxic to human health, posing a particular threat to
the development of the unborn child and early in
life.
B) hosted the convention that took years and in
which more than 140 countries participated
C) was first held in the 1950s in the city of
Minamata
D) focused on the declining use of the mercury in
a number of developing countries
E) was a manifestation of the world’s dwindling
supply of mercury
53. The passage makes the point that ----.
A) 260 tons of mercury was wasted due to misuse
of soil resources
B) the exact measurement of mercury in world’s
seas could only be made within the past
century
C) the top 100m of the world’s oceans now
contain twice as much mercury as did 100
years ago
D) the Earth’s soil contains an abundant amount
of mercury that slowly mixes with river waters
E) the primary cause of worry concerning mercury
stems from the use of water contaminated with
it
54. It is pointed out the passage that ----.
51. It is clearly stated in the passage that, mercury
----.
A) animals that eat other animals are less likely to
suffer from mercury due to indirect intake of the
substance
A) has been finally banned thanks to a recent
treaty signed in Japan
B) pregnant women are more vulnerable to the
threat of mercury than do infants
B) was adopted as the common issue of a recent
high level gathering on dangerous and toxic
metals
C) higher concentrations of mercury in lakes and
rivers may also contaminate animal habitats
C) may cause unwanted industrial outcomes
especially in advanced industrial nations
D) the higher the elevation of the land where food
is raised, the higher the amount of mercury it
may contain
D) is known to have irreversible detrimental
effects on human nervous system
E) people may eat fish that have eaten other fish
and thus increased the amount of mercury in
their bodies

A) already had cultural impact on the British
Islands even before 1066
The English language that is spoken today is the
direct result of the Norman Conquest that started
in 1066. Modern English is vastly different from
that spoken by the English prior to the Conquest,
both in its vocabulary and its grammar. After the
war, the Normans brought with them an alien
culture and language. Add to this their social status
as the new ruling class, and it is no shock to find
that assimilation was slower, and the new society
and language that emerged was so radically
changed from that which they found when they
arrived uninvited in 1066. English, which had been
a written language since the conversion to
Christianity, was rapidly dropped as the language
for royal and legal charters and proclamations, not
reappearing until 1258. The replacement language
was usually Latin, though often duplicated in
French. French was the language of the royal
court, the legal system and the church. The use of
French was reinforced by the fact that many of the
new aristocracy and religious houses had
extensive holdings in France. This state of affairs
changed slightly in 1204 when King John lost
Normandy, but did not really end until after the
English were finally expelled from France at the
end of the Hundred Years War in 1453.
B) treated the British harshly as they found them
primitive
C) tried to peacefully embrace the British culture
but failed to do so
D) belonged to a different religious order, which
made it impossible to adapt to the British
society

their social class differences

passage, English ----.
A) quickly lost its position to Latin and French as
the official language
B) continued to be spoken and widely used
among the aristocrats of British origin
C) was replaced by Latin, which was later
replaced by French
D) continued to be used among the British men of

A) describes life in a slum area in the early 2000s
and how drug trade took over the region
City of God is an exhilarating, fast-paced action
film set in the oppressive confines of a favela in
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I love the way the movie
depicts the slum because it compels viewers not
just to confront the desperation, poverty and
violence of life there, but to enter that nightmarish
world so utterly for the duration of the film that
leaving it at the end is a relief, and yet a wrench,
making it impossible to forget. Directed by
Fernando Meirelles, the 2002 film portrays life in
the City of God, a favela known by the same name
for over three decades, starting in the 1960s when
it was a new housing project and its main
characters were children and petty thieves, and
ending in the early 1980s, by which time the slum
is a war zone and most of the protagonists are
either dead or engaged in a bloody war over drugs
turf. Narrated by Rocket, a boy who dreams of
becoming a photographer, the story focuses on the
escalating battle between rival gangs led by the
murderous Lil Zé and Carrot. The favela itself is a
central character in the film, which traces its
deterioration into anarchic bloodbath.
B) predominantly talks about the war-time
experiences of a group of young men
C) is told by a first-person narrator who spent
some of his life in war
D) traces three decades in the life of some
individuals living in a slum

imagination of the audience
61. According to the passage, the plot of the film
----.
A) covers the rivalry between two gangs whose
violence increases continuously
B) takes place in housing projects where Brazil’s
well-to-do live
C) is based on a true story which the director
himself has witnessed as a boy
D) also includes some autobiographical elements
by the writer
E) contains some supernatural elements as it also
has a religious dimension
59. The writer of the passage likes the film City of
God ----.
62. The writer of the passage points out that ----.
A) the film starts marvelously but as time passes it
goes worse and worse towards the end
A) due to the fantastic elements it introduced into
the harsh reality of favela
B) he is happy to see that the two villains, Lil Zé
and Carrot, die and order is restored
B) for its gripping realism in the portrayal of the
Brazilian slum life
C) everybody’s life in the film goes worse and
eventually the favela is destroyed
C) despite its trial to cover up the ugly sides of the
favela life
D) the favela in the film itself can be seen as a
character which goes through changes
D) for its focusing on boys of the favela rather
than the other people
E) the final scenes depict incidents that seems to
give hope for all the characters
E) because of the way it justifies certain types of
crimes people commit

for the case.
A) Dolphins are the animals that are most
vulnerable to stress but many people think that
they are always happy.
B) I find the word “Chatoyant” very lovely and
funny as it means “like a cat’s eye” and I am a
cat-lover.
B) We must do more than writing letters and such
passive things and instead prepare a
demonstration in front of these places.

the animals in them should be returned to their
natural habitat as quickly as possible.

A) When Marilyn started her new job, her
colleagues threw her a party and made a bad
joke after it since this is the company tradition.
72. During the late twentieth century, a dominant
aim of the historical profession was to write
deeper and more nuanced social histories. ---In the history study outside Europe, the
profession retreated from imperial history,
replacing it with an ‘area studies’ approach.
Historians now drew their inspiration from
indigenous language sources and local
colonial archives.
B) A bad joke made after a small party is what
awaits many new employees but for Marilyn
this was not the case.
C) It is customary to greet a new recruit to a
company with a bad joke after a small party
and Marilyn was no exception.
D) On Marilyn’s first day at her new job, she was
surprised to see a party prepared for her but
the following bad joke reminded her that she is
just like anybody else in the company.
A) Well before world history or global history
became recognised courses in American
universities, Robin Palmer had written of The
Age of Atlantic Revolutions.
E) The habit of greeting new employees with a
bad joke made during a small party was also
practiced for Marilyn as her case made this
necessary.
B) This was done through studies of localities and
institutions and by revealing the experience of
people ‘without history’ or ‘people without
power’.
C) Perhaps the ‘revolutionary age’ in history was a
truly global phenomenon with causes and
consequences in Asia, Africa and the Pacific.
D) The present day seems a good time to direct
more of the profession’s energies to the study
of global connections and comparisons such
as these.
71. As far as we can tell, taxation began in Sumeria
around 5,000 years ago and it seems to have
been a creation of the combination of religion
and government.
E) The American civil war, for instance, was a
unique event, not really comparable with
contemporary rebellions and wars in Europe.
A) We know that the Sumer was the first
civilization to develop a tax system which both
addressed the needs of their religion and
political system at around 5,000 years ago.
B) Approximately 5,000 years before the present,
the Sumer emerged and began to practice
taxation together with the development of their
religious and political systems.
C) It looks as if the Sumer were the first people to
use taxes in the maintenance of their religious
and political bodies founded 5,000 years ago
but this is a bit questionable.
D) As far as known in history, taxation emerged in
the Sumerian civilization nearly 5,000 years
ago and it appears that the clergy and the
government created it as a practice together.
E) Sumeria was the birthplace of what we today
call taxation and in human history their
clergymen and rulers were the first to use it as
a combination method almost 5,000 years ago.

73. A new paper published in the USA argues that
dinosaurs must have been warm-blooded like
birds and mammals--and not cold-blooded like
reptiles, as many scientists believed in years
past. Why is that? ---- However, they dominated
over mammals in terrestrial ecosystems
throughout the Mesozoic and to do that they
must have had more muscular power and
greater endurance than a crocodile-like
physiology would have allowed.
74. In the middle of the twentieth century
universities attempted to divide physics and
mathematics. ---- Whole generations of
mathematicians grew up without knowing half
of their science and, of course, in total
ignorance of any other sciences. Since
scholastic mathematics that is cut off from
physics is fit neither for teaching nor for
application in any other science, the result was
the universal hate towards mathematicians.
A) Modern birds are fundamentally different from
non-avian dinosaurs in terms of abdominal
soft-tissue morphology, and they cannot be
modified dinosaurs.
A) The consequences of the divide turned out to
be catastrophic.
B) The dinosaur mouth was too small compared
to their body and their teeth also weren’t very
long which meant chewing was tough practice
for them.
C) The construction of a mathematical theory is
exactly the same as that in any other natural
science.
C) As the number of carnivores in a community
increases, they eat more and more of the
herbivores,
decreasing
the
herbivore
population.
E) Calculus is a subject many students complain
about in their first years at college.
B) Mathematics is the part of physics where
experiments are cheap.
D) It is obvious that in any real-life activity it is
impossible to wholly rely on such deductions.
D) Good eyesight, a keen sense of smell, and a
large brain to plan hunting strategies were very
important for successful hunting for a dinosaur.
E) Because if dinosaurs had been cold-blooded,
they wouldn't have had enough muscle power
to capture their prey and be the dominant
animals of their time.
75. ---- It allows artificial light to shine outward and
upward into the sky, where it's not wanted,
instead of focusing it downward, where it is. Illdesigned lighting washes out the darkness of
night and radically alters the light levels and
light rhythms to which many forms of life,
including ourselves, have adapted. Wherever
human light spills into the natural world, some
aspect of life for other beings, such as their
migration, reproduction and feeding is affected.
A) For most of human history, the phrase "light
and sound painting" would have made no
sense.
B) In most cities, the sky looks as though it has
been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant
haze.
C) We've lit up the night as if it were an
unoccupied country, when nothing could be
further from the truth.
D) A relatively recent development, light pollution
is largely the result of bad lighting design.
E) Scientists have shown that long artificial days
and artificially short nights induce early
breeding for many birds.

78. (I) The beauty of making pickles at home is that
you can tailor them to suit your tastes, making
them sweet or sour, and adding as much or as little
flavoring as you wish. (II) The trick with pickling is
to create an environment that is inhospitable to
harmful bacteria while preserving the integrity of
the vegetables. (III) The acid environment in
pickles keeps away the bacteria which otherwise
cause the food to decay. (IV) Blanching, that is
briefly cooking the ingredients in boiling water, is
the first step to make delicious and healthy pickles.
(V) The 1:1 ratio of vinegar to water keeps
vegetables crisp in the fridge, but is also acidic
enough that they can be canned safely if you

guitar player and Adolph Rickenbacker, an
electronics engineer, met at the Dopera Brothers
guitar manufacturer in Los Angeles. (II) Together,
they eventually developed the schematic for a
revolutionary idea: an electronic guitar. (III) The
premise was simple: by fitting the guitar with two
magnets, a magnetic field was created which could
pick up the vibrations from a string and transfer it
to a resonating wire coil. (IV) In a Jazz setting, the
guitar was purely for rhythm: the volume of an
acoustic instrument other than a piano could never
outplay the cries of a full brass section. (V) By
allowing an electric current through, the magnets
could pick up vibrations and then send it through

tone and volume to a loudspeaker.

conditions of the 1971 war, in fact, created the
proto-capitalists, and the post-1975 economic
policies of the military regime enabled them to
become capitalists. (IV) The reason is that, women
from various class backgrounds are employed
because they can be molded into compliant
workers. (V) Further, the multi-class character of
the workforce combined with the threat of layoffs
prevents solidarity and makes unionization of
female workers difficult.
