PART TWO: READING COMPREHENSION


I. Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
from 21 to 25.
Beads were probably the first durable ornaments humans possessed, and the intimate relationship they had with
their owners is reflected in the fact that beads are among the most common items found in ancient archaeological sites.
In the past, as today, men, women, and children adorned themselves with beads. In some cultures still, certain beads
are often worn from birth until death, and then are buried with their owners for the afterlife. Abrasion due to daily wear
alters the surface features of beads, and if they are buried for long, the effects of corrosion can further change their
appearance. Thus, interest is imparted to the bead both by use and the effects of time.
Besides their wearability, either as jewelry or incorporated into articles of attire, beads possess the desirable
characteristics of every collectible, they are durable, portable, available in infinite variety, and often valuable in their
original cultural context as well as in today's market. Pleasing to look at and touch, beads come in shapes, colors, and
materials that almost compel one to handle them and to sort them.
Beads are miniature bundles of secrets waiting to be revealed: their history, manufacture, cultural context,
economic role, and ornamental use are all points of information one hopes to unravel. Even the most mundane beads
may have traveled great distances and been exposed to many human experiences. The bead researcher must gather
information from many diverse fields. In addition to having to be a generalist while specializing in what may seem to be
a narrow field, the researcher is faced with the problem of primary materials that have little or no documentation. Many
ancient beads that are of ethnographic interest have often been separated from their original cultural context.
The special attractions of beads contribute to the uniqueness of bead research. While often regarded as the
"small change of civilizations", beads are a part of every culture, and they can often be used to date archaeological sites
and to designate the degree of mercantile, technological, and cultural sophistication.

21. What is the main subject of the passage?


A. Materials used in making beads B. How beads are made
C. The reasons for studying beads D. Different types of beads
22. The word “ adorned” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________________
A. decorated B. protected C. purchased D. enjoyed
23. All of the following are given as characteristics of collectible objects EXCEPT ________
A. portability B. scarity C. value D. durability
24. It is difficult to trace the history of certain ancient beads because they __________.
A. have been moved from their original locations B. have been buried underground
C. are small in size D. are frequently
25. Knowledge of the history of some beads may be useful in the studies dome by which of the following?
A. Medical reseachers B. Agricultural experts C. Anthropologists D. Economists

II. Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 26 to 35.
Urban life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its motivating
force is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money mean competition and competition is stressful; it is
often most intense in the larges cities, where opportunities are greatest. The presence of huge numbers of people
inevitably involves more conflict, more traveling, the overloading of public services and exposure to those deviants and
criminals who are drawn to the rich pickings of great cities. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity of
urban life, but today's ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that is extent
has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers may become trapped in their homes by the fear of
crime around them.
As a defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the
pressures upon themselves; contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked;
telephone numbers may be ex-directory; journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure.
There are other strategies, too, which are positively harmful to the individuals, for example, reducing awareness through
drugs or alcohol. Furthermore, all these defensive forms of behavior are harmful to society in general; they cause
widespread loneliness and destroy the community's concern for its members. Lack of informal social contact and

5
indifference to the misfortunes of others, if they are not personally known to oneself, are amongst the major causes of
urban crime.
Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the
competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then geographically trapped because so much
economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond.
Present day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. Old
established neighborhoods have been ruthlessly swept away, by both public and private organizations, usually to be
replaced by huge, ugly, impersonal structures. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be re-
housed in tower blocks which are drab, inconvenient, and fail to provide any setting for human interaction or support.
This destruction of established social structures is the worst possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or
city. Instead, every effort should be made to conserve the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar
landmarks.

26. According to the author, living in a city causes stress because there are so many people who are __________
A. naturally aggressive B. likely to commit crime
C. anxious to succeed D. in need of help
27. The word “its” used in paragraph 1 refers to __________
A. control B. movement C. urban life D. crime
28. The author thinks that crime is increasing in cities because __________
A. people feel anonymous there B. the trappings of success are attractive to criminals
C. the population is too large D. people do not communicate with their neighbors
29. The word “anonymity” used in paragraph 1 can be replaced by __________
A. intenisty B. vagueness C. isolation D. disaster
30. All of the following strategies to reduce pressure are mentioned EXCEPT __________
A. never use telephones B. limit one’s contact
C. use alcohol D. make quick journeys outside
31. According to the article, what may be the most serious consequence of these defensive forms of behaviour?
A. Tracing the animals B. Drugs and alcoholism
C. Finding somewhere to live D. Social isolation
32. Architectural changes have affected city life by __________
A. giving the individual a plan for rehousing B. making people move to the suburbs
C. dispersing long-established communities D. forcing people to limit the interaction with others

A. inconsiderable B. colourful C. trapped D. monotonous
