WRITTEN TEST (100 PTS) 1. READING COMPREHENSION (40 PTS): Read the texts below and choose the best answer to each question. Passage A In much-vaunted rhetoric, the eleventh of September 2001 has gone down in history books as 'the day the world changed forever'. This was seen as a positive change, with the majority of nations supporting a clamp-down on terrorism on an international basis, and calling for more cooperation between intelligence agencies and police forces. Unfortunately, a more sinister force was unleashed, and democratic countries that formerly valued the freedom of the individual suddenly became the targets of criticism for nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) such as Amnesty International and civil liberties campaigners like Statewatch, an independent group which monitors threats to privacy and civil liberties in the European Union. In some countries, civil liberties had already been compromised. Many Europeans had been living with closed circuit television cameras in public places for many years, for example, and accepted their existence as a necessary evil which would reduce the risk of street crimes, thus assuring the safety of the majority. However, after the September 11th attacks, governments hastily dusted off and revived ancient statutes or drafted sweeping new acts which were aimed at giving themselves and the police considerably more powers with a view to cracking down on terrorists, wherever they were to be found. In the decade prior to 2001, government policies were put in place which aimed to provide citizens with access to information. People were empowered to check their personal data to ensure its accuracy wherever the data was held (ie - in banks, local government offices, etc). Now, though, draconian measures were suddenly proposed, which included the storing of personal communications, including all e-mails and phone calls, for at least one year, with all telecommunications firms having to keep records of the names and addresses of their clients as well as the numbers and addresses of calls and e-mails sent by them. Governments argued, quite convincingly, that such measures were necessary to combat terrorism, and other benefits were also played up, such as improved ability to track child abductors.
While balking at the idea of telephone-tapping and uncontrolled information-swapping among government agencies, the public, by and large, have been receptive to other such measures, but they may yet live to regret their compliance. An independent study of 50 countries published in 2002 criticized Britain, in particular, over a series of measures which, its authors say, have undermined civil liberties, especially since the September 11th attacks. They accuse the government of having placed substantial limitations on numerous rights, including freedom of assembly, privacy, freedom of movement, the right to silence and freedom of speech. The implementation of tough new measures severely limiting the number of immigrants accepted by Western countries has also raised concerns among civil rights groups, who point out that laws aimed at reducing global terrorism have penalized many legitimate refugees fleeing war-torn countries or repressive regimes. Furthermore, these measures have had far-reaching effects. Repressive regimes around the world have seized upon the precedent being set by the West to legitimize their own previously questionable human rights practices, with only NGOs like Amnesty International left to cry foul. Individuals have unwittingly contributed to the erosion of their own personal freedom by adopting new technologies that offer more convenience and security (e.g. extensive use of credit cards, smart cards, customer loyalty cards, etc.), while compromising their freedom. It is easier to trace a person's movements when such cards are used. Willingness to give up privacy in exchange for security will remain a strong force, and some companies have jumped on the bandwagon, offering "personal location" devices aimed at parents Trang 3 /8 who fear for their children's safety. Whilst this may seem reasonable, consider the following: at what age does a rebellious teenager have the right to remove such a tracking chip? It seems a strange concept that, in the twenty-first century, the very peoples who have fought for their freedom of expression and movement and freedom of the press are now allowing their governments to have access to personal and confidential information which would have been unthinkable a decade ago. For countries like Britain to be found to have acted unlawfully by discriminating against foreign nationals would also have been unthinkable once, given Britain's strong legislation against racial discrimination and the existence of a commission whose sole purpose is to investigate charges of such acts. There used to be a distinction between countries which had poor records of human rights abuses and more liberal countries, but the dividing line has become a trifle blurred. George Orwell predicted that the age of surveillance would be 1984; he was 17 years out in his calculations, but Orwell would have been horrified to discover that convenience and security have become more important to the majority than basic human rights. 1. In the second paragraph, it is implied that A. Numerous NGOs are enforcing an authoritarian regime. B. State oppression is prevalent among countries which tended to supervise it. C. Privacy is at the mercy of civil liberties advocates. D. Certain nations are transgressing the bounds of individual freedom. 2. The writer indicates that after 11/09/2001 A. Many Europeans became immune to being closely monitored by domestic cameras. B. CCTVs were unavoidable measures against unlawful conducts. C.

All the following is NOT TRUE in the 1990s EXCEPT A. People's personal data was at the government's disposal. B. The policies allowed the public to apprehend the danger of information imprecisions. C. Emails and phone calls could be traced back as far as one year. D. Individualized documents were dispersed over banks and official amenities. 4. What is the general attitude of the citizens towards the issue of privacy? A. They yield their liberty as a precaution against crimes. B. They feel it is their inalienable right to keep their identiy intact. C. People have placated with the jargon of criminal justice. D. Terrorist attacks spurred people into acting under coercion. 5.

To propose the unthinkable rationality of his argument Passage B Humor plays an important part in everyday life. Everyone laughs at a joke, but few people stop to think about what makes something funny. Humor is produced by the social construct of reality; it arises as people create and contrast two different realities. Generally, one reality is conventional, that is what people expect in a specific situation. The other reality is unconventional, an unexpected violation of cultural patterns. Humor arises from the contradictions, ambiguities, and double meanings found in differing definitions of the same situation. There are countless ways to mix realities and create humor. Contrasting realities are found in statements that contradict themselves, such as "Nostalgia is not what it used to be"; statements that mix up words, for example, Oscar Wilde's line "Work is the curse of the drinking class." Even switching around syllables does the trick, as in the case of the country song "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal Trang 4 /8 lobotomy." A comedian can also build a joke the other way around, leading the audience to expect an unconventional answer and delivering a very ordinary one. Regardless of how a joke is constructed, the greater the opposition or difference is between the two definitions of reality, the greater the humor that is produced. Comedians pay careful attention to their performances, the precise words they use and the timing of their delivery. A joke is well told if the comedian creates the sharpest possible opposition between the realities; in a careless performance, the joke fails flat. Because the key to humor lies in the collision of realities, we can see why climax of a joke is termed the "punchline". To 'get' humor, you must understand both the conventional and the unconventional realities well enough to appreciate the difference. A comedian may make getting a joke harder by leaving out some important information. In such cases, listeners must pay attention to the stated elements of the joke and then fill in the missing pieces on their own.
Our enjoyment of a joke is increased by the pleasure of figuring out on the pieces needed to get it. In addition, getting the jokes makes you an insider compared to those who don't get it. We have own experienced the frustration of not getting a joke: fear of being judged stupid, along with a sense of being excluded from a pleasure shared by others. Sometimes someone may carefully explain the joke so that the other person doesn't feel left out. But as the old saying goes, if a joke has to be explained, it isn't very funny. All over the world, people smile and laugh, making humor a universal element of human culture. During the Middle ages, people used the word "humors" (derived from the Latin, humidus, meaning "moist") to refer to various body fluids believed to regulate a person's health. Researchers today document the power of humor to reduce stress and improve health. One recent study of cancer patients, for example, found that the greater people's sense of humor, the greater their odds of surviving the disease. Such findings confirmed the old saying that "Laughter is the best medicine". Humor is found everywhere because it works as a safety valve for potentially disruptive sentiments. To put it another way, humor provides an acceptable way to discuss a sensitive topic without appearing to be serious or offending anyone. Having said things somewhat controversial, people can simply state, "I didn't mean anything by what I said. It was just a joke!". People also use humor to relieve pressure in uncomfortable situations. One study of medical examinations found that most patients try to joke with doctors to ease their own nervousness. To sum up, humor is much more important than we may think. It is a means of mental escape from a conventional world that is never entirely to our liking. This fact helps explain why so many comedians are from the ranks of historically marginalized people, including Jews and African Americans. As long as we maintain a sense of humor, we assert our freedom and are not prisoners of reality. By putting a smile on our faces, we can change ourselves in the world just a little and for the better. 8. According to the author, what is humor? A. A mixture of different realities C.

Meticulous preparation of the performers plays a role in the success of the show. D. Perfect delivery skills and accurate use of words must be practiced regularly. 11. Why would a comedian want the audience to make an effort to understand a joke? A. To augment our enjoyment of the comedy C. To avoid the general letdown 12. What can lead to one's failing to "get" the humor? A. Inattention to the missing pieces C. Neglience of the elements 13. Which one of these is a benefit of humor? A.

Six paragraphs have been removed from the extract. Choose from the paragraphs AG the one which fit each gap. There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use. WHO WROTE THE RULE THAT NATURE IS BEAUTIFUL? What could be more beautiful than mountain scenery? Quite a lot, actually. The mountains which Ruskin and other Victorian sentimentalists worried to save from the ravages of the industrial world were not always popular. On the contrary, mountains used to represent a prospect of triply-distilled horror. And for very good reasons: the psychological revolution against mountains was based on practical objections. If you had no more sure a means of transport than feet or a horse, mountains represented not exhilarating freedom, great views, wildflowers and fresh air, but stifling confinement - with a measure of added danger. 15... The assumption of mountains into our vocabulary of the 'beautiful' is a relatively recent one. Like public schools, Scottish national costume and Morris dancing, mountains were an "invention" of the 19th century. 16....... The architect Viollet-le-Duc, for example, rather over-busily reinvented French medieval architecture - and was always a pioneer alpiniste so he can also be said to have reinvented French mountains. However, hyperventilating, perhaps, at the top and possibly discomfited by the attentions of the short- toed eagles and the maddening wind (Ventoux means windy in the local dialect) Petrarch had a profound spiritual experience. 17....... Or at least, this conceit became conventional wisdom thanks to the poet's self- mythologizing which was accepted by Jakob Burckhardt (1818-97), the first modern historian of the Renaissance. Burckhardt recokened Petrarch's ascent of Mont Ventoux to be the beginning of a modern sensibility, which had an appreciation and an understanding of nature rather than a revulsion against it. Busy researchers have now disproved Petrarch's claim to mountaineering originality. The Emperor Hadrian went up Etna in 121 to see the sunrise, and it seems a local man went up Ventoux a few years before 1336 - but Petrarch's claim was poetically accurate if not quite technically sound. 18....... Yet in the 17th century, the Alps was still seen as an digested deformed lumps. if they had a purpose at home, it was only a horrible curtain protecting the "garden" of Italy from tourist herds originating up north. The ugly Alps were construed as a necessary dramatic anticipation of the beauties of waiting intrepid travelers further South. To enhance pleasures, the horrors were necessary. Before the invention of the picturesque, the stage of mind which sees nature as a painting or a garden. All a traveler found in mountains was, philosophically speaking, a formless void. 19. But by 1741 Richard Pococke, later Protestaant Bishop of Meath, made the first recreational visit to a glacier in the soon the Alps became acceptable as a source of delight. The very brink of destruction had become a starting point for tourism. And by the 1780s, mountaineering was fast evolving as a sport with rules established by Horace Benedict de Saussure (who climbed Mon Blanc in 1787). 20. The Alpine Club was founded in London in 1857 and when the British climber Edward Whymper successfully scaled the forbidden Matterhorn in 1865, it was the beginning of the golden age of mountaineering. Bringing the ones horrible mountains into the arena of recreation was one of the most remarkable achievements of the industrial age. And this process was completed at the moment of maximum economic activity in Britain. With the destruction of some areas of natural beauty by canals, railways, meals, factories, reservoirs, housing, mines, houses, dogs, asylums, hospitals, and storage facilities, compensation will sought for industrialization in the appropriation of nature's greatest spectacle as entertainment. List of paragraphs: A. It is one of the great symmetries of cultural history that the same people who were busy destroying nature were, at the same time, busy discovering it. B. Here for the first time the idea of a mountain as frightful, ugly thing, a source of menace, threat and foreboding, was modified to the mountain as an object of veneration and a stimulus for rumination. C. And, from the practical point of view, a place where you might very easily fall down a horrible precipice or meet not only a short-toed eagle, but carnivorous animal or a malignant mountain spirit. D. "Ugly" was not a word that an Occitan paysan of the 14th century would have used, but as he gazed, perhaps, on the Dentelles de Montmirail, if he gazed at them at all, his reaction would have been. somewhere between disgust and fear. E. On his return to level ground, he promptly wrote a now famous letter to the Augustinian monk, Dionigi di Borgo San Sepolcro. In this letter Petrarch claimed to be the very first person to have climbed a mountain for pleasure or instruction. F. Here, the sun shone and nature was genial and beneficent. Layers of history were so deep that it was said there were ruins piled upon ruins. Trang 6 /8 G. The English were pioneers in this rediscovery: no longer fearful travelers through misty gloom, they turned the Alps into a playground for hearties. II.
