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 26 to 33.
Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial language. It was created more than a century ago by Polish eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed that a common language would help to alleviate some of the misunderstandings among cultures.
In Zamenhof’s first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as uncomplicated as possible. This first language included words such as ab, ac, eb, be and ce. This did not result in a workable language in that these monosyllabic, though short, were not easy to understand or to retain.
Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language. He made the words in his language sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar tremendously. One example of how he simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this language end in o, as in the noun amiko, which means “friend”, and all adjectives end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means “pretty. Another example of the simplified language can be seen in the prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning, the word malamiko therefore means “enemy”, and the word malbela therefore means “ugly” in Zamenhof’s language.
In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it. He used a pen name, Dr. Esperanto, when signing the book. He selected the name Esperanto because this word means “a person who hopes” in his language. Esperanto clubs began popping up throughout Europe, and by 1950, Esperanto had spread from Europe to America and Asia.
In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximately 700 attendees from 20 different countries. Congresses were held annually for nine years, and 4,000 attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914, when World War I erupted and forced its cancellation.
Esperanto has had its ups and downs in the period since World War I. Today, years after it was introduced, it is estimated that perhaps a quarter of a million people are fluent in it. This may seem like a large number, but it is really quite small when compared with the billion English speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in today’s world. Current advocates would like to see its use grow considerably and are taking steps to try to make this happen. Question 26: The topic of this passage is_________________ .
A. one man’s efforts to create a universal language
B. using language to communicate internationally
C. a language developed in the last few years
D. how language can be improved
Question 27: According to the passage, Zamenhof wanted to create a universal language
A. to build a name for himself
B. to provide a more complex language
C. to create one world culture
D. to resolve cultural differences

B. shouting
C. hiding
D. leaping
Question 29: According to passage, what happened to the Tenth World Esperanto Congress?
A. It had attendees from 20 countries
B. It had 4,000 attendees
C. It never took place
D. It was scheduled for 1915

B. floors and ceilings
C. take offs and landings
D. tops and bottoms.

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 34 to 40.
The time when humans crossed the Arctic land bridge from Siberia to Alaska seems remote to us today, but actually represents a late stage in prehistory of humans, an era when polished stone implements and bows and arrows were already being used and dogs had already been domesticated.
When these early migrants arrived in North America, they found woods and plains dominated by three types of American mammoths. Those elephants were distinguished from today’s elephants mainly by their thick, shaggy coats and their huge, upward-curving tusks. They had arrived on the continent hundreds of thousands of years before their human followers. The wooly mammoth in the North, the Columbian mammoth in middle North America, and the imperial mammoth of the South together with their distant cousins the mastodons, dominated the land. Here, as in the Old World, there is evidence that humans hunted these elephants, as shown by numerous spear points found with mammoth remains.
Then, at the end of the Ice Age, when the last glaciers had retreated, there was a relatively sudden and widespread extinction of elephants. In the New World, both mammoths and mastodons disappeared. In the Old World, only Indian and African elephants survived.
Why did the huge, seemingly successful mammoths disappear? Were humans connected with their extinction? Perhaps, but at the time, although they were hunters, humans were still widely scattered and not very numerous. It is difficult to see how they could have prevailed over the mammoth to such an extent.
Question 34: With which of the following is the passage primarily concerned?
A. Techniques used to hunt mammoths.
B. The relationship between man and mammoth in the New World.
C. The prehistory of humans.
D. Migration from Siberia to Alaska.
Question 35: It can be inferred that when humans crossed into the New World, they_________ .
A. had previously hunted mammoths in Siberia.
B. had never seen mammoths before.
C. brought mammoths with them from the Old World.
D. soon learned to use dogs to hunt mammoths.
Question 36: The phrase “these early migrants” in paragraph 2 refers to____________ .
A. mammoths
B. humans
C. dogs
D. mastodons
Question 37: The passage supports which of the following conclusions about mammoths?
A. Humans hunted them to extinction.
B. The freezing temperatures of the Ice Age destroyed their food supply.
C. The cause of their extinction is not definitely known.
D. Competition with mastodons caused them to become extinct.
Question 38: The word “implements” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to___________ .
A. tools
B. ornaments
C. houses
D. carvings
Question 39: Where were the imperial mammoths the dominant type of mammoth?
A. Alaska
B. the central portion of North America
C. the southern part of North America
D. South America

A. bones
B. drawings
C. footprints
D. spear points
