Read the text below and decide which an swer best fits each space.
It is important to recognize that online learning has (51 )
advantages and disadvantages. Although students grades appear to be
(52 ) by the mode of instruction, certain courses are more
challenging to students who carry out their studies in the virtual
environment than in the classroom. However, in online classes,
participation in learning activities may be less daunting, (53 ) for shy
students, and the quality and quantity of student- student and teache r-stude nt
interaction may be higher. Increasingly, it is a/an (54 ) issue for de
signers of online curriculums to decide how to match the advantages of
different modes of instruction to specific courses, by offering not only fully
classroom-based or online courses, but also courses that take the best
elements of both types to (55 ) the needs of students and teachers
and to (56) the most efficient use of resources.
Students who study online tend to lack a sense of community, trust and
positive interaction with other course members and teachers - all elements
that were in the past believed to increase the effectivenessof classroom
learning , among st least confident learners. However, online students
generally alsofeel that they learn at a similar rate to their (57) in the
classroom, and in fact at my college their grades are just as good as those
who are taught in ( 58 ) . But just imagine how much more
effective our online courses could be if they fostered a culture of class
cohesion, spirit, trust and interaction, both among students and between
students and faculty. Perhaps the most effective way to achieve this
improvement is for online educators to give more (59) contact and to
encourage students to collaborate.
Online learning provides a far more student-center ed teaching approach
than the traditional classroom method, and all school directors should aim
to adopt it as their main means to (60) education.

VII. READ ING PASSAGE 1 (5 PTS)

Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question.
A fold culture is a small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly
self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race, with a strong
family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is
maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and
interpersonal relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount, and
change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of
labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform a
great variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes. Most
goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails. Individualism
is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes. Unaltered folk
cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United
States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo-
America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely
renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In
Amish areas, horse- drawn buggies till serve as a local transportation device,
and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amishs central
religious concept of Demut, "humility", clearly reflects the weakness of
individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a
corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish
marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith,
provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order.
By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often
highly individualistic and constantly changing. Relationships tend to be
impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists, leading to the
establishment of many specialized professions. Secular institutions of
control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family
in maintaining order, and a money- based economy prevails. Because of
these contrasts, "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk".
The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many
developing nations. Folk- made objects give way to their popular
equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply
produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the
owner.

VIII. R EAD ING PA SSAG E 2 (5 PTS)
Read the te xt below and choose the best an swer to each question.
Accordin g to sociolog ists, there are several different ways in which a person
may become re cognized as the leader of a social group in the United States. In the
family, traditional cultural patterns confer leadership on one or both of the
parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may
gradually emerge as leaders, although there is noformal process of selection. In
larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or
recruitment.
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal
ability, decades of rese arch have failed to produce consistent evidence that
there is any category of “natural leaders.” It seems that there is no set of
personal qualities that all leaders have in common rather, virtually any person
may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of
that particular group. Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that
social groups have a single leader, research suggests that there are typically
two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental
leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social
group. Group membe rs look to instrumental leaders to “get things” done.
Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leade rship that emphasizes the
collective well-being of a social groups member. Expressive leader are less
concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional
support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict
among them. Group membe rs expect expressive leaders to maintain stable
relationships within the group and provide support to individual membe rs.
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary
relationship to other group members. They give orders and may discipline
group members who inhibit attainment of the groups goals. Expressive
leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the
group. They offer sympathy when some one experiences difficulties or is
subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor,
and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the differences
in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receIve more
personal affection from group members instrumental leaders, if they are
successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.
71. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The problems faced by leaders
B. Ho w leader ship differs in small and large groups
c. How social groups determine who will lead them
D. The role of leaders in social groups
72. The passage mentions all of the following ways by which people can
become leaders EXCE PT
A. recruitment B. formal election process

73. In mentioning “natural leaders” in line 7, the author is making the point
that
A. few people qualify as “natural leaders”
B. there is no proof that “ natural leaders” exist
c. “natu ral leade rs” are easily accepted by the members of a social group
D. “natu ral leade rs” share a simila r set of characteristics
74. Which of the followin g statements about leadership can be inferred from
paragraph 2?
A. A person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be
an effective leader in another group.
B. Few people succeed in sharing a leade rship role withanother person.
c. A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by stud ying
research on leadership.

their qualifications.

AIRPORT AVATARS
Smiling, computerized, talking avatars are being introduced at airports
around the world in a bid to make travelers journeys more efficient. The life-
sized hologram projections which are situated at key points in airports such as
just before security, read out pre-recorded messages designed to help
passengers -anything from the location of bathrooms and taxistands (I )
on-flight liquid restrictions and security regulations. Some of these
virtual assistants, which have been unveiled at New Yorks JFK and Paris Orly
airport among others, have a sensor which activates their ( 2 ) when a

staff, feedb ack from passengers has been largely positive. More importantly,
though, these avatars are proving effectIve. Because they are so lifelike,
passengers can’t help, but look at them and take notice of what they are
saying. Thus, they are doing what they were designed to (6 ) : ease the

BLUE WHALES
1 Blue whales , the wo rlds largest animal s, have been sighted again in
British waters for the first time in at least twenty years. Indications
that a population of blue whales was inhabiting the water s west of
Scotlan d came for the first time from the United States Navy , which
surveillance system
5 picked up the songs of a lot of different whales. American zoologists
later subsequently certified the blue whale song among them. Now
mariner biologist, Carol Booker, has actually seen a blue whale there
herself. She has no doubt about what she saw, because they have
distinctIve fins which are very small for their size. She says, “Wo
rldwide they were mostly extinct
10 and it seemed they had completely vanished from North Atlantic, so
you can imagine how Ifelt actually seeing ones However, it is
certainly too soon to say if it is an indication of a populous recovery.”
She goes on to say, “What it does show is the importance of this area
of the ocean for whale s, and how essential it is to control pollution
of the seas.” Bigger than
15 any dino saur known to man, blue whales are the largest animals
ever to have lived on earth. A blue whale is more than six meters long at
birthand, when completely grown, its heart is the same height as atall
man and weighs as much as a horse is.
