Situation 2 - Below is an excerpt from John F.
Kennedy's "Inaugural Address." Read the
excerpt and answer the questions that follow.
In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than
mine, will rest the final success or failure of our
course. Since this country as founded, each
generation of Americans has been summoned to
give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of
young Americans into answered the call to service
surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a
call to bear arms, though, arms we need, not as a
call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to
bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in
and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in
tribulation," a, struggle against the common enemies
of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.
Can we forge against these enemies a grand
and global alliance, North and South, East and
West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all
mankind? Will you join me in this historic effort?
In the long history of the world, only a few
generations have been granted the role of defending
freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not
shrink from this responsibility; I welcome it I do not
believe that any of us would exchange places with
any other people or any other generation. The
energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this
endeavor will light our country and all who serve it,
and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what
your country can do for you; ask what you can do for
your country.
My Fellow citizens of the world ask not what
America will do for you, but what together we can do
for the freedom of man.
185. In the speech, Kennedy paints a picture of
the United States as a nation that is
a. longing to return to the past

b. enlist in the armed forces

Situation 3 - Below is a Biographical sketch of
an American movies writer:
How Did Elvis Presley Achieve Recognition
Success often comes to those with humble
beginnings, Elvis Aron Presley was born on January
8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi. He first sang in a
church choir and taught himself to play the guitar,
but he never learned to read music. By 1953, he had
moved to Memphis, Tennessee, graduated from
high school, and enrolled in night school to become
an electrician. That year, at Sun Records, Presley
recorded a personal record for his mother, a song
that was heard by the company's president. As a
result of the president's recognition, Presley's first
record, "That's all Right, Mama," was out in 1954.
He toured the South, and in 1955 five of his
records were released simultaneously. His first
national television appearance was that year on
Jackie Gleason's "The Stage Show," but Presley
became known for his appearance on "The Ed
Sullivan Show," where the young singer gyrated as
he sang "rock n' roll" music. During the live
television performance, Presley was photographed
only from the waist up because his motions were
considered obscene.
"Elvis the Pelvis" began his film career in
1956 with LOVE ME TENDER and signed a long -
term film contract. The movie critics were not always
kind, but teenagers flocked to Presley's films. Within
a few short years, Presley had established a career
that would span twenty-five years of ups and downs
and make him one of the most popular entertainers
in history. Long after his untimely death at age 42,
Presley would be remembered as "The King of Rock
n' Roll”
189. The author uses the phrase ups and downs
to refer to Presley's
a. gyrations as he performed
b. increasing and decreasing finances
c. successes and disappointments in his career
d. use of drugs, "uppers and downers"
190. The statement that "success often comes to
those with humble beginnings" would apply best
to which of the following figures?
a. Ramon Magsaysay c. Corazon C. Aquino
b. Gloria M. Arroyo d. Joseph E. Estrada
191. The main idea of the sketch is that
a. singers are more successful if they appear in
films
b. there has always been obscenity on
television
c. opportunity and luck are often as important
as hard work
d. celebrities are usually more famous after
their death
192. The last sentence reveals that the author's
attitude toward Presley is one of
a. indifference c. disbelief
20
 b. admiration d. disgust
Situation 4 - The poem below is entitled
"Suburban Prophecy" which is written by
Howard Nemerov.
On Saturday, the power-mowers' whine
Begins the morning. Over this neighbourhood
Rises the keening, petulant voice, begin
Green oily teeth to chatter and munch the cud.
Monsters, crawling the carpets of the world,
Still send from underground against your blades
The roots of things battalions green and curled
And tender, that will match your blades with blades
Till the revolted throats shall strangle on .
The tickle of their dead, till straws shall break
Crankshafts like camels, and the sun go down
On dinosaurs in swamps. A night attack
Follows and by the time the Sabbath dawns
All armored beasts are eaten by their lawns.
193. How long does the action of the poem take
place?
a. A week c. An afternoon
b. Twenty-four horns d. A morning
