46. (I) A good stage performance is like heightened
living; it’s over before we realize, before we’ve
really absorbed some of the lines and action.
(II) When we read novels and short stories, we
sometimes learn as much about the characters
from the author’s comments as from the speech
and actions of the characters. (III) The reading
of a play, on the other hand, is as leisurely, and
as deliberate, as we want to make it. (IV) We
are comfortable and unhurried; we have plenty
of time to re-read, and to make notes. (V) Yes,
plays should be read at least twice; in every
play, as in as iceberg, what’s on the surface is
often nothing to what’s beneath it.
A) I B) II C) III D) IV E)V
47. (I) There is no single way to define democratic
governments. (II) Mankind has produced
different systems, different mechanisms of
government. (III) In the economic domain, the
most acceptable is the market economy. (IV) All
those who refused to adopt that economic
system condemned their economies to
destruction, and created obstacles for their
development of science and production, such
as we see in the communist countries. (V)
Similarly, countries that were not governed
democratically condemned their populations to
backwardness and created deep social
inequities and injustices.
48. (I) The differences of opinion in defining the
subject of aesthetics are reflected first and
foremost in two opposed points of departure.
(II) According to one, aesthetics constitutes a
science concerned solely with the laws of
artistic development and the nature of artistic
creativity. (III) Viewed from that angle,
aesthetics is no more than the general theory of
art. (IV) The growing importance of literature
and art in the life of society links it with other
related spheres of scientific knowledge.
(V) Those who approach it from the other angle
prefer the view that aesthetics and the general
theory of art are two separate sciences.
49. (I) Our intellectual life since the nineteeth
century reforms had borne no resemblance to
the historical, philosophical and scientific
antecedents of the men who made the French
Revolution. (II) Ours was a superficial reformist
literature with no economic or social content.
(III) As far as they were concerned, there was a
constant struggle for freedom and the
Constitution. (IV) Right down to the Turkist
movement in the years before 1908, we can
point to no artists or writers who gave direction
to our thinking. (V) The literature produced
some enlightened patriots and some would-be
Europeans who despised their country and their
people.
50. (I) Oil and wildlife aren’t usually a good mix; just
look at the many ecological disasters around
the world triggered by oil spills. (II) Tens of
thousands of seabirds were killed by a spill from
the Erika off the coast of France in 1999, or the
tanker Prestige polluted 400 km of coastline
when it sank off north-west Spain three years
later. (III) The petroleum fly has long been a
source of interest for researchers intrigued by
its ability to survive amid toxic fumes that would
kill off other species. (IV) In light of such events,
“oil ecology” sounds like an oxymoron, and yet
there is life in oil, and some species of insect
even seem to thrive in the stuff. (V) The most
remarkable of these is the petroleum fly,
Halaeomiyia petrolei, which feeds on insects
that get stuck to the surface of oil or tar pools.

robes of burgundy and orange, Tenzin Gyatso, the
14th Dalai Lama, bowed as President George W.
Bush and members of Congress gave him a
standing ovation upon his arrival at the Capitol.
Lawmakers praised him as a hero of the Tibetan
struggle. The Dalai Lama said that he felt "a sense
of regret" over the sharp tensions with China
unleashed by his visit and the honors conferred
upon him. In gentle language and conciliatory tones,
he congratulated China on its dynamic economic
growth, recognized its rising role on the world stage,
but he also gently urged it to embrace
"transparency, the rule of law and freedom of
information." The 72-year-old spiritual leader made
it clear that he was not seeking independence from
China; what he wanted was "meaningful autonomy
for Tibet." After speeches by the president and the
top leaders of each party as well as by the
Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, another Nobel
Peace Prize laureate and Congressional Gold
Medal winner, the Dalai Lama accepted the medal,
drawing a standing ovation from a crowd that

The residents of this village, founded almost three
centuries ago by runaway slaves in the jungle of
northern Colombia, eke out their survival from plots
of manioc. Pigs wander through dirt roads. The
soldier on patrol peeks into houses made of straw
and mud. On the surface, it resembles any other
impoverished Colombian village. But when adults
here speak with one another, their language draws
inspiration from as far away as the Congo River
Basin in Africa. The language is known along
Colombia's Caribbean coast as Palenquero.
Theories about its origins vary, but one thing is
certain: it survived for centuries in this small
community, now struggling to keep it from perishing.
Today, fewer than half of the community's residents
speak Palenquero, although many children and
young adults can understand it. It is thought to be
the only Spanish-based language in Latin America.
But its grammar is so different that Spanish
speakers can understand almost nothing of it. The
survival of Palenquero points to the extraordinary
resilience of San Basilio de Palenque, part of whose
very name - Palenque - is the Spanish word for a
fortified village of runaway slaves. Different from
dozens of other palenques, this community has
successfully fended off threats to its existence to
this day. Colonial references to its origins are
scarce, but historians say San Basilio de Palenque
was probably settled sometime after revolts led by
Benkos Biohó, a 17th-century African resistance
leader who organized guerrilla attacks on the
nearby port of Cartagena.
65. The passage emphasizes that the people of
San Basilio de Palenque _____.
a. deserve the appreciation of the Spanish
community
b. have managed to survive so far
c. are not keen on an autonomy of some kind
d. are all multi-lingual today
e. are the descendents of Spanish invaders
66. According to the passage, though there are
various rumors about it, Palenquero _____.
a. is spoken by a small number of people only
b. is the only Spanish-based language in the
Americas
c. has a grammar harder than that of Spanish
d. used to be Colombia’s official language
e. may have its roots back in Africa
67. We learn from the passage that the phrase ‘San
Basilio de Palenque’ _____.
a. reminds them of the defeat of several other
similar villages
b. means ‘Congo River Basin’ in old Spanish
c. describes the village itself and its founders
d. celebrates a colonial defeat of the Spanish
e. was coined in the late 17th century
68. According to the passage, what distinguishes
San Basilio de Palenque from other villages is
the _____.
a. language spoken there
b. way it was established
c. origin of the people
d. determination of the residents
e. people’s combative nature

Both fossil and genetic data show that modern
humans evolved around 200,000 years ago. From
what was previously learned, it appeared that
human ancestors had for ages depended solely on
terrestrial plants and animals. Today, it seems
humans headed for the shore to get away from the
cares at home almost from the start. However this
was no holiday for them, but a matter of survival at a
perilous time of climate change throughout Africa
164,000 years ago. By then, Homo sapiens had
developed a taste for shellfish, out of necessity and
much earlier than previously thought, while adapting
to life in caves on the craggy coast of southern
Africa. Exploring a cave in a steep cliff overlooking
the ocean, an international team of scientists found
deposits of shellfish remains, hearths, small stone
blades and fragments of hematite, some of which
had been ground apparently for use as the coloring
agent red ocher, which sometimes had symbolic
meaning. "The shellfish," the researchers
concluded, "may have been crucial to the survival of
these early humans as they expanded their home
ranges," in response to the cooler and drier
conditions that had prevailed for thousands of years
in the interior of Africa.
69. The passage makes it clear that mankind,
contrary to what was earlier thought, _____.
a. originated about 200,000 years ago
b. lived in caves for a relatively short time
c. has, to a large extent, been land-bound
d. has met his needs better in the seas
e. has been marine-dependent for almost all
his history
70. We learn from the passage that mankind’s initial
interest in the sea _____.
a. emerged when he ran out of land
resources
b. arose with the need for more land
c. was not for leisure purposes
d. did not prove to be very fruitful
e. led to the discovery of other lands
71. According to the researchers mentioned in the
passage, for the early humans, _____.
a. the establishment of permanent
settlements was vital
b. the shellfish is likely to have played an
important role
c. the sea was the number one source of
food
d. what really mattered was extending their
terrain
e. climate was the thing that shaped their way
of living
72. It is possible to conclude from the passage that
these researchers, while making their claims,
_____.
a. did not take any unreliable evidence into
consideration
b. had to rely on extensive international
cooperation
c. dismissed all of the previous theories
d. based their conclusions on various pieces
of evidence
e. did not know anything about the possible
implications of their ideas

Is the Caspian a sea or a lake? The answer has
immense consequences for the energy industry. If it
is a lake, there are no obligations by countries that
flank it to grant permits to foreign vessels or drilling
companies. But if it is a sea, there are international
treaties obliging those countries to an array of
permits. The Caspian's status has been in dispute
since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Over
the past few years, the United States has been
trying to establish alternative energy routes that
would weaken the regional dominance of Russia
and Iran. In addition to Iran and Russia, Azerbaijan,
Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan also have Caspian
coastlines. Russia and Iran, historically, had agreed
that the sea was a lake and that it should be shared
equally between the two of them. That all changed
after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Iran
and Russia wanted earlier agreements, signed in
1921 and in 1940, to continue. Moscow had
obtained consent from the newly independent
republics of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and
Turkmenistan that they would be bound by any
agreements signed by the Soviet Union, of which
they had been a part. But in 1998, Azerbaijan
declared that since the Caspian is an international
lake, it should be recognized as such. In practice,
this would mean that the surface and seabed would
be divided into five sectors determined by the length
of each country's shoreline.
73. It is obvious from the passage that the Caspian
_____.
a. is, according to international laws, neither a
lake nor a sea
b. is supposed to have vast energy reserves
under its depths
c. has become the center of a power game
d. was an insignificant body of water until
recently
e. has a status unlike any other body of water
74. One knows from the passage that before the
collapse of the Soviet Union, the Caspian
_____.
a. was surrounded by two countries only
b. was lying almost totally unexplored
c. was mostly mined by the United States
d. had a status similar to today’s
e. had no attraction to the western world
75. One can infer from the passage that if the
Caspian is an international lake, _____.
a. the old agreements of 1921 and 1940 will
be valid
b. there is a lot for Russia and Iran to lose
c. the United States has the right to lay
claims too
d. the new republics have no say in the
distribution of its resources
e. it should be administered by an
international instutition
76. The passage makes it clear that the new
republics, except Azerbaijan, with a coastline
along the Caspian _____.
a. have rather modest claims regarding the
Caspian
b. do not have the means to explore the
Caspian on their own
c. will have to make do with what Russia
grants them, if it ever does
d. have decided to go back on their former
agreement with Russia
e. were part of a second agreement before
the Soviet Union dissolved

Earlier in October last year, on what Parisians call
White Night, when thousands of people cavort in the
streets until dawn, a bunch of intruders broke into
the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and punched a hole in a
Monet. Then, from the obscure and formerly bucolic
university town of Lund, in southern Sweden, came
news that a group of hooded vandals with crowbars
and axes stormed into an art gallery and, to the
accompaniment of death-metal music, destroyed
several sexually explicit photographs by Andres
Serrano. While the Parisian hooligans were undone
partly because they were caught on the museum's
security cameras, the Swedish gang went one
better, proudly advertising their crime on YouTube.
So the other day I stopped into the Reina Sofía in
Madrid to check on Picasso's Guernica. The threat
of violence is nothing new in Spain, where Muslim
terrorists blew up commuter trains a few years ago,
killing many, and where the threat of killings by
Basque extremists (there was a bomb attack in
Bilbao last week, a truce with the government
having broken down in June) has again become
part of the daily background noise of life. Only a
simple stanchion, and a discreet alarm, as I
discovered when leaning too close, separates the
public from Picasso's famous mural about a mid-
century act of terror: the German bombing of the
ancient Basque town of Guernica in 1936. The
picture presides over a big gallery of related
Picassos, each a target, I suppose, if you adopt the
mindset that terrorists, and those who would exploit
terrorism, like to foster.
77. One can understand from the passage that
European museums or art galleries _____.
a. are open until early morning
b. have specialized in different schools
c. have decided to increase security measures
d. are vulnerable to vandalism
e. are like breadbaskets for robbers
78. According to the writer of the passage, Spain
_____.
a. is accustomed to violence of varying kinds
b. has very few museums to take pride in
c. attaches relative importance to security
d. has always been a target for racists
e. is where terrorism is taken for granted
79. In the passage, the writer tells the reader how
he _____.
a. sees the European’s approach towards
modern art
b. thinks vandalism towards art can be
overcome
c. himself once tried to damage a
masterpiece by Picasso
d. feels about sexual expressions in art
e. has personally tested the security
measures in an art gallery
80. One learns from the passage that Guernica
_____.
a. reflects Picasso’s views on war
b. is a work in praise of war
c. depicts a war scene
d. pictures a scene of life in the 1930s
e. is a vivid account of the Spanish Civil War
