SECTION A: ENGLISH LANGUAGE

From ancient times, people commonly believed that life arose repeatedly by spontaneous generation from
non-living material in addition to parental reproduction for example frogs appeared to arise from damp earth, mice
from putrefied matter, and insects from dew maggots from decaying meat. Warmth, moisture, sunlight, and even
starlight often were mentioned as factors that encourage spontaneous generation of living organisms.
Among the accounts of early efforts to synthesize organism in the laboratory is a recipe for making mice
given by the Belgian plant nutritionist Jean Baptiste Van Helmont (648). If you press a piece of underwear soiled
with sweat together with some wheat in an open jar, after about twenty one days the odour changes and the ferment...
changes the wheat into mice. But what is more remarkable is that the mice which came out of the wheat and
underwear were not small mice, not miniature adults or aborted mice but adult mice emerge‖.
In 1861, the great French scientist Lousis Pasteur convinced scientists that living organisms cannot arise
spontaneously from non-living matter. In his famous experiments, Pasteur introduced fermentable material into a
flask with a long Shaped neck that was open to air. The flask was cooled and left undisturbed. No fermentation
occurred because all organisms that entered the open end were deposited in the open neck and did not reach the
fermentable material. When the neck of the flask was removed micro-organisms in the air promptly entered the
fermentable material organisms and their reproductive elements such as eggs and sport. Announcing his results to the
French Academy, Pasteur productive ―Never will the doctrine of spontaneous generation arise from this mortal
below. All living organisms share a common ancestor, most likely a population of colonial micro-organism that lived
almost four billion years ago. This common ancestor was itself a product of a long period of preblole assembly of
non-living matter including organic molecules and water to form self-replicating units. All living organisms retain a
fundamental chemical composition inherited from their ancient.

1. Throughoutthe passage, the word ―spontaneous‖canbestbe taken to mean (a) without reproductive

Read passage 2 carefully and answer question which follow

When we survey all known human societies we find every where a for of the family some set of people
permanent arrangement by which males assist females in caring for children while they are young. The distinctively
human aspect of the enterprise lies not in the protection the male affords the female and the young. This we share
with the primates. Nor does it lie in the lordly possessiveness of the male over females instead in the nurturing
behaviour of the male who among human beings every where helps provide food for woman and children.
Among our structurally closed analogues the primates the male does not feed the female he may fight to
protect her or to possess her. But he does not nurture her was to fend herself. Somewhere at the dawn of human
history some social invention was under which males started nurturing females and their young. In every known
human society, everywhere in the world, the young male learns that when he grows up one of the things which he
must do in order to be a full member of the society is to escape the burden of feeding females and the young by
entering Monasteries and feeding each other or by entering some profession that their society will classify as giving
them a right to be fed, like the Army and the Navy, or the Buddhist order of Burma. But in spite of such exception,
every known human rest firmly on the learned nurturing behaviour of men.

Read the passage below and answer question 7 that follow:

Cloning creates serious issues of individually. The cloned person may experience concerns about his or her
distinctive identity, not only because the person will be genotype (genetic make up) and appearance identical to
another human being, but in this case, because he or she may also be twin to the person who is the ―father‖ or mother
if one can still call them that. What would be the psychin burdens of being the ―child‖ or ―parent‖of your twin? The
cloned individual, moreover, will be saddled with genotype that has already lived. He or she will not be fully a
surprise to the world.
People will likely always compare a clone‘s performance in life that of the original True, a cloned person‘s
nurture and circumstances in life will be different, genotype is not exactly destiny. Still, one must also expect
parental and other efforts to shape this new life after the original or at least to view the child with original vision
always firmly in mind. Why else then would they clone from the star basketballplayer.
Since, the birth of dolly, there has been a fair amount of doublespeak in this matter of genetic identity.
Experts have rushed in to reassure the public that the clone would in no way be the same person or have any
confusion about his or her identity, they are pleased to point out that the clone of firm star Julia Roberts would not be
Julia Roberts, Fair enough. But one is shortchanging the truth by emphasizing the additional importance of the
environment rearing and social setting; genotype obviously matter plenty. That after all, is the only reason to clone,
whether human beings or sheep. The odds that the clones of basketball star Larry Bird will play basketball are, I
submit, infinitely greater than they are for clones of Jockey Willie shoemaker.

Read the passage below and answer question 20 24 that follows

The premise behind the question seems to be that if one does not unhesitatingly assert belief in evolution,
then one must necessarily believe that God created the world and everything in it in six 24-hour days. But limiting
this question to a stark choice between evolution and creationism does a disservice to the complexity of the
interaction between science, faith and reason.
The heart of the issue is that we can not drive a wedge between faith and reason. I believe wholeheartedly
that there can not be any contradiction between the two. The scientific method, base on reason seeks to discover
truths about the nature of the created order and how it operates, whereas faith deals with spiritual truths. The truths of
science and faith are complementary; they deal with very different questions, but they do not contradict each other
because the spiritual order and the material order were created by the same God.
People of faith should be rational, using the gift of reason that God has given us. At the same time, reason
itself cannot answer every question. Faith seeks to purify reason so that we might be able to see more clearly, not less
faith supplement the scientific method by providing and understanding of values, meaning and purpose.
More than that, faith-not-science can help us understand the breadth of human suffering or the depth of
human love. Faith and science should go together, not be driven apart.
The question of evolution goes to the heart of this issue. If belief in evolution means simply assenting to
microevolution, small changes over time within a species, I am happy to say, as I have in the past, that I believe it to
be true. If one the other hand, it means assenting to an exclusively materialistic, deterministic vision of the world that
holds no place for a guiding intelligence, then I reject it.
20. In this passage, the writer seeks to (a) portray the superiority of science over faith (b) show the
compatibility of faith and science (c) show the complexity of evolution and creationism (d) show the contradictions
of faith andreason
21. The writer‘s attitude to the subject of the passage could be described as (a) cynical (b) ambivalent (c)
disapproving (d)conciliatory
22. From the passage, which of the following does thewriter support? (a)evolutionary changes within a
small group of organisms(b)the creation of the world in a six 24-hour day (c) without thescientific
method, faith cannot be practice (d) those who believe in creation cannot be good scientists
23. A possible title for this passage is (a) the absurdity of faithwithoutreason (b) science, faith and
reason (c) the complementarily of evolution and creation (d) a deterministic vision of theworld
24. Which of the following idea is NOT true according the passage? (a) both science and faith express various
truths (b) to believe in evolution is todeny the existence of God (c) the world could be better understood by
bridging the gap between reason and faith (d) both scienceandfaith express various truths

Read this passage carefully and then answer the question thatfollow:
There is always a hustle and bustle of people in a typical city, especially at closing period when shops and
offices were closing and workers were hurrying home, some in their private cars, others trying to catch a commercial
vehicle, while those who couldn‘t stand the rush to enter a bus or a cab jump on motorcycles popularly called okada.
It was at the peak of that rush hour that Oshoke arrived in Lagos.
Oshoke had never seen so many people on the streets or so many vehicles on the road, and so when he
dropped at the popular Yaba bus stop, he felt suddenly lost like a man lifted from the ground without any warning or
explanation.
Another observation that stupefied him was not just the number of motorcycles that move like a swarm of
ants, but the way each rider appears to be oblivious of any other vehicle or human being around them, posing a grave
danger to life.
In his stupor, somebody tapped his shoulder and all of a sudden, he left empty, the way a young woman feels
when her skirt unexpectedly falls in the middle of a busy street. But he managed to turn to meet the hard cold eyes of
a man glaring at him, ‗what is the problem?‘ the voice reminded him of a lions roar. As Oshoke later admitted it was
a perfect voice with which to wake a dead man.
Oshoke was later to learn from the stranger that the taxis had the worst drivers even though drivers generally
in the cities see every other driver as a rival on the road an enemy to be conquered. One minute they would be
overtaking other cars, the next stopping in the middle of the road to pick up fares without any signal to other drivers
or road users of their intentions.
Pedestrians seemed always in danger of their lives as they tried to run across the road whenever there was a
lull in the traffic.
24. How did Oshoke feel as he arrived in Lagos (a) he was so elated that he felt he was walking on air (b) he
became so nervous at once (c) he was simply dazed (d) he was brimful ofcomposure

SECTION 1: ENGLISH
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow
This book consists of lectures given by me at Cambridge. Though they have been largely written, I have kept
a good deal of their original lecture form, as being (I hope) rather less formal and less dogmatic. For to dogmatism,
those who write on language seem for some reason, particularly prone; and I should like to make it clear at once that,
if at times I have put my views strongly, I do not forget that such matters of taste must remain mere matters of
opinion. In addition, I have included a good many specimen passages from various authors. Perhaps I have quoted
too much. But a book on style without abundant examples seems to me as ineffectual as a book on art, or biology,
without abundant illustrations. Many of these passages are in French. That may be Gallomania on my part: and I
must apologize if they trouble some readers. But some ability to read French prose does seem to me most desirable to
anyone who would write well in English. I have tried to choose pieces not too difficult in syntax or vocabulary. And
in these days less than ever can we afford to beinsular.
