Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Seeking a new life and hoping a significant (28) ......... in their standard of living, foreign
workers began flocking into Western Europe during the 1950s. In Britain, some of the first immigrants
arriving from the West Indies and the Indian subcontinent were welcomed by brass bands, but the dream of a new life soon (29) ......... sour for many.

Attracted by the promise to earn good money and learn new skills, the reality they found was
often one of low wages and, in many case, unemployment. Some did not adapt (30) ......... to life in a
country of cold weather and discrimination. The (31) ......... of West Indian immigrants moved into the
inner cities, areas that were already fraught with social tensions caused by poverty and poor housing.
There were cases of open hostility towards the newcomers; riots (32) ......... out in Notting Hill, West
London in 1958, when gangs of white youths began taunting immigrants.
 

Yet despite the numerous difficulties they encountered, many foreign workers did manage to
adjust to their new conditions, settling in their new adopted country and prospering. Their contribution
had the effect of not only speeding up the pace of economic change in the postwar period, but also
transforming Western Europe into a multiracial society.

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 following questions.
People appear to be born to compute. The numerical skills of children develop so early and so
inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guiding their growth. Not
long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy – one plate, one
knife, one spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs. Soon they are capable of noting that they have
placed five knives, spoons, and forks on the table and, a bit later, that this amounts to fifteen pieces of
silverware. Having thus mastered addition, they move on to subtraction. It seems almost reasonable to
expect that if a child were secluded on a desert island at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she
could enter a second-grade mathematics class without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment.
 

Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive psychologists has
illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which intellectual progress depends. Children were
observed as they slowly grasped or, as the case might be, bumped into concepts that adults that for
granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as water pours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one. Psychologists have since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into
finding the total.
 

Such studies have suggested that the rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and
with effort. They have also suggested that the very concept of abstract numbers – the idea of a oneness,
a twoness, a threeness that applies to any class of objects - is a prerequisite for doing anything more
mathematically demanding than setting a table – is itself far from innate.
Question 33. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Trends in teaching mathematics to children
B. The fundamental concepts of mathematics that children must learn
C. The development of mathematical ability in children
D. The use of mathematics in child psychology
 

Question 34. It can be inferred from the passage that children normally learn simple counting ..........
A. when they begin to be mathematically mature
B. after they reach second grade in school
C. by looking at the clock
D. soon after they learn to talk
 

Question 35. The word “illuminated” is closest in meaning to ..........
A. clarified

B. accepted

C. illustrated

D. lighted
Question 36. According to the passage, when small children were asked to count a pile of red and blue
pencils, they ..........
A. counted the number of pencils of each color
B. guessed at the total number of pencils
C. counted only the pencils of their favorite color
D. subtracted the number of red pencils from the number of blue pencils
 

Question 37. Which of the following statement would the author LEAST agree with?
A. Most people follow the same pattern of mathematical development.
B. Children learn to add before they learn to subtract.
C. Children naturally and easily learn mathematics.
D. Mathematical development is subtle and gradual.
 

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 following questions.
In the history of technology, computers and calculators were innovative developments. They
are essentially different from all other machines because they have a memory. This memory stores
instructions and information. In a calculator, the instructions are the various functions of arithmetic,
which are permanently remembered by the machine and cannot be altered or added to. The information
consists of the numbers which are keyed in.
 

An electronic pocket calculator can perform almost instant arithmetic. A calculator requires an
input unit to feed in numbers, a processing unit to make the calculation, a memory unit, and an output
unit to display the result. The calculator is powered by a small battery or by a panel of solar cells. Inside
is a microchip that contains the memory and processing units and also controls the input unit, which is
the keyboard, and the output unit, which is the display.
 

The input unit has keys for numbers and operations. Beneath the key is a printed circuit board
containing a set of contacts for each key. Pressing a key closes the contacts and sends a signal along a
pair of lines in the circuit board to the processing unit, in which the binary code for that key is stored in
the memory. The processing unit also sends the code to the display. Each key is connected by a different pair of lines to the processing unit, which repeatedly checks the lines to find out when a pair is linked by a key.
 

The memory unit stores the arithmetic instructions for the processing unit and holds the temporary results that occur during calculation. Storage cells in the memory unit hold the binary codes for the keys that have been pressed. The number codes, together with the operation code for the plus key, are held in temporary cells until the processing unit requires them.
 

When the equals key is pressed, it sends a signal to the processing unit. This takes the operation
code - for example, addition - and the two numbers being held in the memory unit and performs the
operation on the two numbers. After the addition is done, the result goes to the decoder in the
calculator's microchip. This code is then sent to the liquid crystal display unit, which shows the result, or
output, of the calculation.
Question 38. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To summarize the history of technology
B. To explain how a calculator works
C. To discuss innovative developments in technology
D. To compare computers and calculators with other machines
