1) There were times during the night when all the jungle sounds
would stop at one.

monkeys, insects, picking upon
on a frequency that a thousand years in the jungle might condition
you to receive.

In the paragraph above the verb ‘transmitted’ means : 

a) modified

b) sent out

c) silenced

2)  Read the passage below and answer to the question: 

The mysterious graffiti artist Banksy, whose pioneering work has

bought graffiti into mainstream art and whose pictures fetch
hundreds of thousands of pounds, is rumoured to be from the city of
Bristol. While no one knows for certain if this is true as his identity is
a closely guarded secret, the city recently hosted an exhibition of
Banksy’s work.

3) Practice of Medicine 

Modern scientific and technological developments in the practice of

medicine and public health have drawn nursing into new and wider
fields of activity, and its functions have been expanded accordingly.
Therefore, nursing is no longer limited mainly to activities within the
hospital, or to what is called curative nursing. It has become also a
community service in which preventive and rehabilitative functions
are a vital part of its program. The modern concept of nursing
considers the hospital, however central, as only one of many health
agencies in the community. 

As we understand from the reading, today_______.

a) the only reason people go to hospitals is for nursing care.

b) most of the nursing practice now takes place in people's homes.

c) scientific and technological developments can't improve the quality of care

that is delivered in hospitals. 

d) hospitals are not the only setting where people receive care or support.

4) Educating Children 
One of the major processes that takes place in schools, of course, is that students
learn. When they graduate from high school, many can use a computer, write essays
with three-part theses, and differentiate equations. In addition to learning specific
skills, they learn to think critically, to weigh evidence and to develop independent
judgment. The extent to which this development takes place is related to both school
and home environments. Teachers who are more open to new ideas and less
authoritarian produce students who have greater intellectual flexibility and higher
achievement test scores. Studies show that teachers are most demanding when they
are of the same social class as their students. The greater the difference between their
own social class and that of their pupils, the more rigidly they structure their
classrooms and the fewer demands they place on their students. 
We learn from the reading that when students graduate from high school ______. 

a) none of them are able to think critically.

b) they can take the overall responsibility of anything.

C) many of them have gained specific skills like writing essays and differentiating equations.

5) Mother Tongue 

First language, also known as mother tongue, is generally the language a person learns first.
However, one can have two or more native languages thus being a native bilingual or indeed
multilingual. The order in which these languages are learned is not necessarily the order of
proficiency. Lacking in first language skills often make learning other languages difficult.
Often a child learns the basics of his or her first language or languages from his or her family.
The term mother tongue, however, should not be interpreted to mean that it is the language
of one's mother. For instance, in some paternal societies, the wife moves in with the husband
and thus may have a different first language or dialect than the local language of the
husband. Yet their children usually only speak their local language. 
One can infer from the reading that________.

A) very few children throughout the world learn to speak two languages.

B) it is possible for a bilingual to become more competent in his second language.

C) one cannot be a native speaker of more than two languages.

d) bilinguals use their two languages for different purposes and functions.

6) In the southwest of Africa, where Steno beetle lives, there is no water in the desert. 

It is extraordinarily dry. You would think it was quite impossible for anything to survive there. 
Except, of course, that there is moisture in the air. 
And that’s where the Desert Beetle, to give it its familiar name, is absolutely amazing. 
The design of this apparently rather modest creature means
that using the bumps on its wings it collects minute drops of liquid from the atmosphere. 
Then it stands at an angle so that these little droplets slide down its back to its mouth. It is literally ‘catching’
the moisture from the air round it.

A) Collecting water from the rain. 

b) Desert insects.

C) Human survival in the desert.

7) Allan Carlson hesitated as he stood in the flowerbed that ran along one side of the Old
People’s Home.

He was wearing a brown jacket with brown trousers and on his feet he had a pair of brown
indoor slippers. 
He was not a trendsetter; people rarely are at that age. 
He was on the run from his own birthday party, another unusual thing for a hundred-year-
old retiree, 
not least because even being one hundred is pretty rare.

According to the paragraph given above:

A) Allan Carlson was getting ready for his birthday party.

B) Hundred-year-old retirees try to start new fashion in clothes.

C) Allan Carlson was not happy about his anniversary  

8) There were times during the night when all the jungle sounds would stop at one.

There was no dwindling down or fading away, it was all gone in a single instant as though 
some signal had been transmitted out to the life: bats, birds, snakes, monkeys, insects, picking
upon on a frequency
