TESTING READING AND WRITING



TESTING READING
Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions!
Hydrogen

Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe and was
perhaps the first to form. It is among the ten most common elements
on Earth as well and one of the most useful for industrial purposes.
Line   Under normal conditions of temperature, hydrogen is a gas.
5        Designated as H, hydrogen is the first element in the periodic table
          because it contains only one proton. Hydrogen can combine with
          a large number of other elements, forming more compounds than
          any of the others. Pure hydrogen seldom occurs naturally, but it
         exists in most organic compounds, that is, compounds that contain carbon,
10      which account for a very large number of compounds. Moreover,
          hydrogen is found in inorganic compounds. For example, when
          hydrogen burns in the presence of oxygen, it forms water.
          The lightest and simplest of the elements, hydrogen has
          several properties that make it valuable for many industries.
          It releases more
15      heat per unit of weight than any other fuel. In rocket engines, tons
of hydrogen and oxygen are burned, and hydrogen is used with
oxygen for welding torches that produce temperatures as high as
4,000 degrees F. and can be used in cutting steel. Fuel cells to
          Generate electricity operate on hydrogen and oxygen.

Exercise 2
Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions!
Mickey Mouse
Mickey Mouse was not Walt Disney’s first successful cartoon creation, but he is certainly his most famous one. It was on a crosscountry train trip from New York to California in 1927 that Disney Line first drew the mouse with the big ears. Supposedly, he took his 5 inspiration from the tame field mice that used to scamper into his old studio in Kansas City. No one is quite sure why he dressed the mouse in the now-familiar shorts with two buttons and gave him the yellow shoes. But we do know that Disney had intended to call him Mortimer until his wife Lillian intervened and christened him Mickey 10 Mouse. Capitalizing on the interest in Charles Lindbergh, Disney planned Mickey’s debut in the short cartoon Plane Crazy, with Minnie as a
co-star. In the third short cartoon, Steamboat Willie, Mickey was whistling and singing through the miracle of the modern soundtrack. 15 By the 1930s Mickey’s image had circled the globe. He was a superstar at the height of his career. Although he has received a few minor changes throughout his lifetime, most notably the addition of white gloves and the alterations to achieve the rounder forms of a more childish body, he has 20 remained true to his nature since those first cartoons. Mickey is appealing because he is nice. He may get into trouble, but he takes it
on the chin with a grin. He is both good-natured and resourceful. Perhaps that was Disney’s own image of himself. Why else would he have insisted on doing Mickey’s voice in all the cartoons for twenty 25 years? When interviewed, he would say, “There is a lot of the mouse
in me.” And that mouse has remained one of the most pervasive images in American popular
culture.

Exercise 3
Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions!

Eugene O’Neill

Universally acclaimed as America’s greatest playwright, Eugene O’Neill was born in 1888 in the heart of the theater district in New York City. As the son of an actor he had early exposure to the world Line of the theater. He attended Princeton University briefly in 1906, but 5 returned to New York to work in a variety of jobs before joining the crew of a freighter as a seaman. Upon returning from voyages to South Africa and South America, he was hospitalized for six months to recuperate from tuberculosis. While he was recovering, he determined to write a play about his adventures on the sea. 10 He went to Harvard, where he wrote the one-act Bound East for Cardiff. It was produced in 1916 on Cape Cod by the Provincetown Players, an experimental theater group that was later to settle in the famous Greenwich Village theater district in New York City. The Players produced several more of his one-acts in the years between 15 1916—1920. With the full-length play Beyond the Horizon, produced on Broadway in 1920, O’Neill’s success was assured. The play won the Pulitzer Prize for the best play of the year. O’Neill was to be awarded the prize again in 1922, 1928, and 1957 for Anna Christie, Strange Interlude, and Long Day’s Journey Into Night. Although he 20 did not receive the Pulitzer Prize for it, Mourning Becomes Electra, produced in 1931, is arguably his most lasting contribution to the American theater. In 1936, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for
literature. O’Neill’s plays, forty-five in all, cover a wide range of dramatic 25 subjects, but several themes emerge, including the ambivalence of family relationship, the struggle between the sexes, the conflict between spiritual and material desires, and the vision of modern man
as a victim of uncontrollable circumstances. Most of O’Neill’s characters are seeking meaning in their lives. According to his 30 biographers, most of the characters were portraits of himself and his family. In a sense, his work chronicled his life.

Exercise 4
Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions!
The Print Revolution
For more than five thousand years, from the dawn of civilization in Mesopotamia and Egypt, people in the West wrote by hand. Imperial degrees, sacred scriptures, commercial transactions, private letters---all required the skills of a select group of scribes, clerks, or monks. In Korea and China, however, mechanical printing using carved wooden blocks had been introduced by A.D. 750. Moveable type, using characters made of baked clay, was invented in China in the eleventh century. But the Chinese continued to prefer block printing well into the modern period. Written Chinese consists of thousands of ideographic characters. The labor of creating, organizing, and setting so many different bits of type made it much simpler to cut individual pages from a single wooden block. European languages, which can be written with fewer than a hundred characters, were much better adapted to printing with
moveable, reusable type. It appears that the Mongol armies brought examples of Chinese printing---the Venetian Marco Polo described seeing paper money during his travels---to western Asia and Europe at the end of the thirteenth century. In the early fourteenth century, European began using block printing techniques to produce religious images, short prayers, and even decks of playing cards. As with Chinese printing, European block printing was a slow and expensive process for printing large numbers of varied texts. The print revolution had to wait another century, until the innovations of the German goldsmith Johan Gutenberg (ca. 1399---1468). Gutenberg drew on his knowledge of metallurgy to devise a lead-tin-copper alloy that could be cast into durable, reusable type. His crucial invention was a type mold consisting of a flat strip of metal---stamped in the same way a coin is minted, leaving the impression of a single letter---inserted in the bottom of a rectangular brass of box held together by screws. Molten metal was poured into it, producing a single piece of type. An experienced type founder
could produce up to six hundred pieces of type a day. No woodenblock carver could have approached that rate. To solve the remaining problems, Gutenberg adapted the screw press commonly used to produce linen, paper, and wine to make a printing press. He followed the example of Flemish painters by adding linseed oil to the ink to make it thick enough to adhere uniformly to the metal type. In 1455, the Gutenberg Bible was published in Mainz., Germany---but not by Gutenberg. After years of costly experimentation, Gutenberg was forced to turn over his equipment and newly printed Bibles to his partner and creditor, the wealthy merchant and moneylender Johann Fust. The new technology, which enabled printers to create a thousand or more copies in a single print run, was highly efficient. Simple printed school texts cost only a quarter of the price of handcopied texts. The leading bookseller in the university town of Bologna managed to stock ten thousand copies of texts, treatises, and commentaries. By 1500, even street singers sold printed copies of their songs. Gutenberg’s invention was revolutionary because, for the first time, the same information and ideas were available throughout Europe at virtually the same time. The great Venetian printer Aldus Manutius (1450-1515) produced over 120,000 volumes, many in the new, smaller, easily portable “octavo” format---about 6 by 9 inches. Books from the Aldine Press and other humanistic publishers played a decisive role in spreading humanism to parts of Europe where manuscript books were difficult to acquire. Moreover, book owning was no longer the exclusive preserve of scholars. This is all the more true because printers included on their lists words in vernacular languages, not just the ancient classics. The very popularity of printed vernacular texts affected language. William Caxton (1422---1492), for example, began printing books in English in 1472. His pioneering work help standardize modern English, just as the publication of Martin Luther’s German translation of the Bible in 1522 would standardize modern German. The advent of printing had other far-reaching consequences: it promoted the increase of literacy throughout Europe. By the eighteenth century, printed books had changed the nature of popular culture. Myths, folk songs, and popular histories were traditionally passed by word of mouth, often changing in the telling to fit the time and place. Once they appeared in print, they could no longer be performed and refashioned, only recited. Printing not only changed the way information was transmitted but also changed the character of the information itself.

31. With which of the following topics is the passage primarily
concerned?
A. A comparison of religious and humanistic publications

Read the passage “Across the Blue Mountains” and then answer Numbers 1 through 8.

by Emma Chichester Clark
Miss Bilberry lived in a pale yellow house at the base of the great blue mountains with a dog named Cecilie, a cat called Chester, and two birds called Chitty and Chatty. Every morning Miss Bilberry had breakfast in the shade of a broad-leaved tree, looking out at her beautiful view of the mountains. After breakfast she swept the path and fed the birds and animals. She watered the flowers and vegetables growing in her garden. Then she had a light lunch on the veranda.1 In the afternoon she had a nap in her hammock between two swaying palms. And sometimes in the evening she played her violin and sang a few songs before she went to bed. It was a lovely life, and Miss Bilberry would have been completely happy, except for one thing. She just couldn’t stop wondering whether she might not be even happier if she lived on the other side of the mountains. The more she looked, the more she wondered. One day, Miss Bilberry could stand it no longer. “Everybody up!” she called to Cecilie, Chester, and Chitty and Chatty. “Today’s the day! We’re going to move! Let’s start packing!” Not wanting to be left behind, they all helped fill boxes, baskets, and bags and put everything from the little yellow house onto a wobbly old cart. Then they waved good-bye to the house and the garden, the broad-leaved tree and the two swaying palms, and set off toward the blue mountains. “I just can’t wait to get to the other side!” cried Miss Bilberry. But Chester looked back sadly. They walked and walked, pushing the heavy cart for many miles, through fields, and forests, through rain, and sunshine, uphill, and downhill. They reached a place where the flowers were taller than Miss Bilberry! They could hardly see where they were going. “This is the wrong way,” snarled Chester. “No it isn’t,” snapped Cecilie. Miss Bilberry climbed a tree, but she still wasn’t sure where they were. “Told you so,” said Chester. “Everything is going to be fine when we get to the other side,” said Miss Bilberry.

The teaching learning cycle
The teaching-learning cycle is a model for a genre-based approach to language teaching. The cycle consists of four stages: Building Knowledge of Field, Modelling of Text, Joint Construction of Text and Independent Construction of Text. The model is based on the assumption that in order to write effectively, students first need to be familiar with the genre. They also need models in order to have a clear idea of what it is that they are working towards, and some support and guidance in learning how to produce an appropriate text. Finally they need opportunities to write independently. The model can be applied in teaching both spoken and written language.
