The following text is for questions 16 and 17.
Many people say that examinations
should be abolished because they are not the
best measure of student's capabilities. These
people believe that students can study on their
own and do better without the nagging worry
and pressure exerted by examinations.
Yet, there are persuasive reasons to
show that examinations should not be
abolished. It is insufficient that teachers assign
homework and correct it. Because this is not
done under
supervision, they cannot be sure that it is really
the work of the students themselves. Moreover,
homework is not a test of student's ability.
Homework is a method of merely keeping him
occupied.
Nowadays, in the hunt for jobs, students
need to produce some evidence of their
capabilities. Prospective employers like to see
copies of examination results. This is the only
way a student's qualifications can be judged.
This attitude greatly encourages the use of
examinations, since it is considered it
necessary for them to measure their
capabilities.
16. Why do some people disagree to abolish
the examination?
A. Exam result is the only proof of
student's capabilities.
B. Nobody trusts the students nowadays.
C. It is a regulation in the country.
D. It is a good measurement.
E. It is for the sake of efficiency.
17. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. The examination still keeps going on.
B. The teachers' roles supervise the
students.
C. The homework is important for
students.
D The homework is usefulness for
students.

The text below is for question 26 – 29
The Lion and The Mouse

Once when a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon awoke the lion,
who placed his huge paw upon him, and open his big jaws to swallow him.
“Pardon, O king,” cried the little mouse, “Forgive me this time, I shall never forget it; perhaps I may be able
to do you a good turn some of these days.”
The lion was so tickled at the idea of the mouse being able to help him. Then, he lifted up his paw and let
him go.
Sometime after, the lion was caught in a trap. Some hunters, who wanted to carry him alive to the King,
tied him to a tree while they went in search of a wagon to carry him in. Just then, the little mouse happened to
pass by and see the sad plight in which the lion was. The little mouse went up to him and soon gnawed away
the ropes that bounded the king of the beasts. Soon after the little mouse had finished gnawing away the
ropes, he asked the lion to run away.
