People around the world listen to it, play it, and appreciate it. However, world music is a subject that receives little attention in the West. Unfortunately, it's common for people in the United States and Great Britain to be completely unfamiliar with the many styles of music found in countries around the world. One of the most different, yet nonetheless beautiful, styles of music is found in Mongolia.Traditional Mongolian music uses a range of instruments, many of which are unique variations of instruments familiar to other cultures, such as the horse head fiddle, lute, trumpet, flute, zither, and drums. The most unique and well-known components of traditional Mongolian music, however, are the solo singing styles known as khuumii and urtiin duu.Khuumii, or throat singing, is performed without instrumental accompaniment, comes from deep in the throat, and produces the effect of two distinct notes at the same time. Khuumii developed in western Mongolia and the present-day Russian Republic of Tuva. The open expanse of the landscape in these regions was favorable for this type of singing, which allowed voices to travel long distances with minimal effort. Today, throat singing has become internationally known. However, many of the acts recording music and traveling the world are from Russia. Though many Mongolians still enjoy listening to and singing traditional music, young people (like those in many countries) tend to prefer modern pop music.Urtiin duu dates back to the 13th century, when the style was practised as a professional art. Urtiin duu relates intricate stories about the natural beauty of the land and the rituals of daily life. The vocal style is similar to khuumii in that it takes a talented, practised singer in order to perform well. The sounds are drawn-out and require extreme control of the singer's breath. Some examples of this style have been recorded to have as many as 20,000 verses, thus earning the name"long songs."41. "Music is almost a universal pastime." Which of the following statements has the samemeaning as this?A. Music is a leisure activity found around the world.B. Music is a required activity found around the world.C. Music is a leisure activity found in a few places around the world.D. Music is a required activity found in a few places around the world.42. With which of the following statements would the author of this passage probably agree?A. World music is an art form that receives much recognition in the West.B. Young people always appreciate the traditional music of their country.C. Most people in London are unfamiliar with Asian music.D. Traditional Mongolian music is known throughout the world.43. Which paragraph describes a style of singing that some might consider to be excessivelylengthy?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.44. Which of the following sentences from the passage indicates the author's opinion?A. However, world music is a subject that receives little attention in the West.B. One of the most different, yet nonetheless beautiful, styles of music is foundC. Today, throat singing has become internationally known.D.

Part II: Banked ClozeQuestions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.When I was in college, I was a reporter for the school newspaper. My very first article was about a student protest on campus. The students, mostly freshman and sophomores gathered outside the chemistry building. They were calling for the resignation of Professor Keyes, who they claimed was a particularly repressive teacher. He ran his classroom like a dictator and didn't grade fairly.The students were mostly peaceful and they spent all day chanting "Down with Keyes! Down with Keyes!" However, they did have a minor clash with other students who tried to defend Professor Keyes. Nobody was hurt, but it was obvious that both sides were very passionate about their beliefs.You could say that my college had a very liberal environment. Students were encouraged to think for themselves, assert their rights, and fight for what they believed in. This wasn't the only protest during my college years, either. You certainly couldn't criticize the students for being apathetic; they were always outspoken and involved!Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.One of the most famous student protests to ever occur in the United States took place between May 1 and May 4, 1970 at a college campus in the Midwestern state of Ohio. The reason this particular protest is still remembered and famous is because of the unfortunate result of the demonstrations.On April 30, 1970, US President Richard Nixon announced an escalation of the war in Vietnam with a military invasion of Cambodia, which neighbors Vietnam. At that time, the war wasextremely unpopular with the public and many people were frustrated and angered by this new development—especially students. Many people had been encouraged by Nixon's promise two years earlier to end the war, but, in 1970, there was still no end in sight.On May 1, students at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio protested against the American invasion of Cambodia and were calling for an end to the war. The campus protest was peaceful, but emotions grew throughout the day, and riots soon erupted in the town's streets that night. In response, the governor sent National Guard troops to the Kent State University campus to stop the riots and protests.Small protests continued over the next two days, and then, on the morning of May 4, approximately 2,000 students gathered in the center of campus to protest both the war and the presence of soldiers at their school. The soldiers ordered the students to disperse and return to their dorms. When they refused, the soldiers began firing tear gas into the crowd.During the morning, the situation escalated, along with tensions, emotions, and anger. Shortly after noon, the National Guard soldiers opened fire on the students. The cause of this action remains unclear to this day. However, at the end of the day, four students were killed and nine others were wounded. Some of those students were not even involved in the protest. They were just walking by or watching the protest from a distance.41. What were the students at Kent State University protesting?A. The American invasion of Vietnam.B.

He was studying child behaviour and wanted to trace bad behavior back to its source. Derek took children of different ages and put them in a(n) mostly empty room; there were only a few toys and a small couch to lie down on.He then presented them with different stimuli that they might encounter during the day. For example, he would play music at a loud or soft volume; adjust the lighting to be very bright or very dim; or fill the room with different smells, both good and bad. He had a(n) repertoire of several hundred distinct stimuli.It was interesting to watch the children's behaviour unfold in response to the changing environment. Nearly all children eventually displayed some form of naughty behaviour, but some of them created a serious disturbance in the room and had to be removed.The reactions were all fascinating, and Derek recorded everything that happened. He is now trying to comprehend the meaning of these results and the implications for child behaviour. Hopefully, his work will help clarify and identify potential sources of misbehaviour. Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Until very recently, most people assumed that the ability to feel and exhibit emotions was limited to human beings. It was generally assumed that animals could simply not feel emotions such as happiness, sadness, jealousy, anger, or grief. It wasn't that the intensity of these emotions was more limited than in humans; the general consensus was that such emotions were literally absent in all other animals.However, such thinking has recently been called into question as more and more researchers areuncovering evidence that suggests animals do indeed feel emotions. In some cases, these emotions are very obvious! Dog owners have known this for a long time. If a dog does something bad and is reprimanded by its owner, it will often hang its head low and exhibit "puppy-dog eyes." The dog knows it has been naughty and this is, in effect, its exhibition of sadness and sorrow.Another relatively clear example of animals' emotional behaviour is when they show aggression. In some cases, it doesn't take very much for animals to become irritated and angry. Dogs, wolves, lions, tigers, birds—nearly every animal has been observed in an agitated state and acting out against the cause of its frustration. In fact, animal researchers have even witnessed animals in the wild waging war and exacting revenge.Biologists have reported on countless other examples of animals' emotional behaviour. For example, some animals grieve over deceased family members, some dream and have nightmares, some display pride in the work demanded of them, some exhibit friendship and cooperation, and many show love. Examples of compassion and self-indulged enjoyment are also not uncommon. Based on the biological and scientific evidence, it seems beyond doubt that animals are capable of feeling and showing a wide range of emotions. Human do not have a monopoly on such feelings, and it's time for more people to understand that we're all part of one big emotional family.41. According to the article, which of the following was a general assumption made throughout much of history?A. People feel a wide range of emotions.B. Animals feel a wide range of emotions.C. People feel a limited range of emotions.D. Animals are incapable of feeling emotions.42.

On only the second day, my wallet was stolen. It was a very scary time, and I was obviously frustrated and angered. At first, I was angry I had lost the cash in my wallet. Then, I realized that the thief now had my credit cards and ID card! With only a little practice, he or she could easily forge my signature and make hundreds of unauthorized purchases.I immediately called the credit card companies to cancel my cards. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. How could someone commit such fraud? The undoubted deceitfulness in stealing other people's wallets really made me wonder how someone could be completely without ethical standards or morals.Thankfully, I still had traveler's checks —which are widely accepted in Spain —at my hotel. However, I was no longer in a good mindset to enjoy my vacation. In my opinion, the authorities must attack this problem globally; it's not enough to just focus on pickpockets or identify theft that happens locally. With the Internet, there's no such thing as "local" anymore.Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Many people often wonder about the terms "blue-collar crime" and "white-collar crime". What's the difference? Is one worse than the other? Are they committed by different kinds of people? What does crime have to do with the color of your shirt?First, it is helpful to understand that blue-collar workers are those people employed in jobs that require manual labor, and white-collar workers perform non-manual labor in an office setting. The terms can be dated back to the 19th century, when industrial workers and manual laborers were required to wear clothing suitable to the difficult work — which was typically a blue work shirt or blue coveralls. In contrast, professional workers in offices generally wore white dress shirts.Today, the primary distinctions between white-collar and blue-collar crime are the social class towhich the suspect belongs and the type of crime committed. Blue-collar crimes are committed by individuals from lower social classes (ie, less privileged backgrounds with fewer professional and societal opportunities), and white-collar crimes, conversely, are committed by individuals from higher, more affluent social classes.The exact nature of the crime is also a defining factor of blue-collar versus white-collar crime. Blue-collar crimes tend to be relatively obvious (eg, vandalism, robbery, and shoplifting) or violent (eg, assault, arson, and murder) crimes that are committed out of desperation. White-collar crimes, however, are "quieter" crimes (eg, bribery, embezzlement, and computer crime) committed by people who have the means and opportunity to exploit professional situations.It is impossible to say that one type of crime is worse than the other, for both have serious and lasting effects for the victims. Blue-collar crime gets more consistent exposure in the media, so we usually hear more about it on a regular basis. However, even though we might not hear many news stories about white-collar crime, it still occurs every day. The increase in computer crime and rising instances of identify theft are testament to that.41. Which of the following would make the best title for this article?A. White-Collar Crime: A Victimless Crime.B. A History of Blue-Collar and White-Collar Workers.C. Blue-Collar Crime Versus White-Collar Crime: An Explanation.D. An Examination into Blue-Collar Crime.42.

I submit articles to several different websites and I also write regular updates to my own blog. In China alone, that's more than one billion potential readers!I carry my laptop computer with me wherever I go, just in case something happens and I need to report on it. Many days I just write about minor events, but you never know when something truly momentous will happen. Moreover, when something big does happen, you need to be quick and get the story in first. Other reporters can sometimes be ferocious and try to steal the big stories. If you're too slow, you'll definitely miss out.For example, I was drinking coffee one morning at a local café when I saw a police chase speed down the street. The reporter in me got curious, so I quickly hopped in my car to follow the police. Was I ever startled to find out that the person the police were chasing was a famous movie star! I was the first person to report the arrest and it really helped my career. Reader feedback on my blog was overwhelmingly positive and I almost doubled the number of people visiting my site!Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.One of the most memorable days of James's life began as a bright and beautiful morning. In fact, it was one of the most beautiful days James could ever remember. He went to work as usual in downtown Washington, DC and everything seemed normal. However, during his 9:00 meeting, something strange happened. The world as he knew it changed forever.Shortly after 9:30, the entire building shook. James and his coworkers all looked around at each other in nervous wonder. Instantly, the sirens began—police cars, ambulances, fire engines. It seemed to be a never-ending parade of emergency vehicles speeding by his building. You see, James works less than a mile from the Pentagon and the day was September 11, 2001.。

People around the world listen to it, play it, and appreciate it. However, world music is a subject that receives little attention in the West. Unfortunately, it's common for people in the United States and Great Britain to be completely unfamiliar with the many styles of music found in countries around the world. One of the most different, yet nonetheless beautiful, styles of music is found in Mongolia.Traditional Mongolian music uses a range of instruments, many of which are unique variations of instruments familiar to other cultures, such as the horse head fiddle, lute, trumpet, flute, zither, and drums. The most unique and well-known components of traditional Mongolian music, however, are the solo singing styles known as khuumii and urtiin duu.Khuumii, or throat singing, is performed without instrumental accompaniment, comes from deep in the throat, and produces the effect of two distinct notes at the same time. Khuumii developed in western Mongolia and the present-day Russian Republic of Tuva. The open expanse of the landscape in these regions was favorable for this type of singing, which allowed voices to travel long distances with minimal effort. Today, throat singing has become internationally known. However, many of the acts recording music and traveling the world are from Russia. Though many Mongolians still enjoy listening to and singing traditional music, young people (like those in many countries) tend to prefer modern pop music.Urtiin duu dates back to the 13th century, when the style was practised as a professional art. Urtiin duu relates intricate stories about the natural beauty of the land and the rituals of daily life. The vocal style is similar to khuumii in that it takes a talented, practised singer in order to perform well. The sounds are drawn-out and require extreme control of the singer's breath. Some examples of this style have been recorded to have as many as 20,000 verses, thus earning the name"long songs."41. "Music is almost a universal pastime."
