what they mean. Others are more difficult, for example, star, egg, or week.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
A sign language is a language which uses hands to make gestures to communicate
instead of sound - simultaneously combining movement of the arms or body, and facial
expressions to express a speaker's thought. Sign languages develop in deaf communities.
Interpreters and friends and families of deaf people, who are not deaf as well as people who
are deaf or hearing-impaired themselves use sign language to communicate. When people
using different sign languages meet communication is significantly easier than when people
of different spoken languages meet. Sign language in this respect gives access to an
international deaf community. However, sign language is not universal. Wherever
communities of deaf people exist, sign languages develop. They vary from culture to
culture. They are not based on the spoken language in the country of origin. Hundreds of
sign languages are in use around the world. Sign languages are as rich and complex as any
oral language, despite the common misconception that they are not "real languages". On the
whole, deaf sign languages are independent of oral languages and follow their own paths of
development. For example, British Sign Language and American Sign Language are quite
different and mutually unintelligible, even though the hearing people of Britain and
America share the same oral language. Similarly, countries which use a single oral
language throughout may have two or more sign languages; whereas an area that contains
more than one oral language might use only one sign language.
18. Sign language uses ____ to communicate.
a. sound b. voice c. gestures d. eye contact
19. Sign language is generally used to communicate to the ____.
a. deaf b. blind c. poor d. lisping
20. According to the writer, _____.
a. only the deaf can use sign language b. sign language only belongs to the disabled
c. everybody can use sign language to communicate with the deaf
d. sign language cannot be used by those who do not suffer deafness
21. Which sentence is NOT true?
a. Sign languages are as rich and complex as oral languages
b. Some people consider sign languages not real languages
c. Deaf sign languages are independent from oral languages
d. Deaf sign languages develop dependently on oral languages
22. Sign languages ____.
a. are different in different countries b. are the same in every language
c. are difficult to learn d. are not used in a country which uses a single oral language

exciting than work at home, read the newspapers and watch television. I had begun feeling,
bored with this and so, last weekend I though I would do something different. I rang up
several of my friends and we decided to go to London for the day. I was really excited as I
hadn't been to London since I was ten. We decided to go by coach as this was by far the
cheapest means of transport that was available even though it meant that we needed to get
up very early. Once in London we decided to take a sightseeing tour as we wanted to see
some of the famous buildings. After the tour we bought some sandwiches and ate them in a
small park. In the afternoon two of us went shopping and the others went to the theater. We
met up again at 6:30 p.m. and went to a small restaurant in Soho. The meal was really good
but, unfortunately, it took much longer than we had expected. We had to get a taxi back to
the coach station. Luckily, we got there just two minutes before our coach left.

VI. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
Almost everyone says that computers are wonderful and they are changing our lives for the
better by making everything faster and more reliable, but I'm not so sure that this is the case.
The other day I was standing in a large department store waiting to pay for a couple of films
for my camera when the assistant announced that the till had stopped working. I didn't think
it was a big problem and I set off to find another counter, but of course, all the machines are
part of the same system.
So there we were: a shop full of customers, money at the ready, waiting to make our
purchases, but it was quite clear that none of the assistants knew what to do. They weren't
allowed to take the money and give customers a written receipt, because the sales wouldn't
have been recorded on the computer system.
In the end, like many other people, I left my shopping on the counter and walked out. Don't
you think that's ridiculous? It would never have happened before computers, and that, for
me, is the problem: we are beginning to depend on these machines so completely that we
simply can't manage without them any more.

C. we can't manage without computers. D. computers never go wrong.
